Did you see what the House of Bijan did? Indeed. Roughly four months ago, the luxury Rodeo Drive retailer installed seven plaques outside its front door, just beside the now-yellow parking meter where one of Bijan’s iconic cars, such as the Rolls-Royce or the Bugatti, parks daily. The plaques, essentially advertisements for the designer, which feature the design house’s crest or tagline, are now being met with disapproval on the part of the Rodeo Drive Committee. At its meeting this week, Bijan has drawn the ire of the Rodeo Drive Committee. the Committee voted to take action regarding what it characterized as a (see ‘BIJAN’ page 18) Beverly Hills Elder: Joe Tilem, Mayor, Sailor, Lawyer Part 47 in a series on Beverly Hills residents who have grown with the Centennial City Jillian is one of this week’s Freshpet adoptable pets of the week. 4 •Fashion 8 •Birthdays 16 •Letters to the Editor 27 SALUTE TO MARGARET J.

BEVERLY HILLS COURIER | AUGUST 7, 2015 Page 4 B E V E R LY H I L L S M A I N N E W S Beverly Hills High Lacrosse Field Closes After High Levels Of Arsenic Discovered WARM WELCOME TO BEVERLY HILLS — It was a busy Tuesday for new Beverly Hills Police Chief Dominick Rivetti. Tuesday afternoon, he attended Beverly Hills’ National Night Out, where he received a proclamation from Stephanie Cohen of Assemblyman Richard Bloom’s office. Later Tuesday evening, he was officially installed by the City Council as BHPD’s chief. Courier photo by Alexander Amir Kashfi By Laura Coleman The Beverly Hills School Board took immediate steps to authorize the closure of the Beverly Hills High Lacrosse Field after test samples showed the presence of arsenic in five locations above what is deemed acceptable by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC). Of the tested locations, four were within 15-percent above DTSC acceptable limits and one was 3.5 times the acceptable limit. The sampling was done as part of the Environmental Impact Report required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Courier and Tracey Jones, speaking for animal activist Tina Sinatra. Others, including Recreation and Parks Vice Chair Frances Bilak, who, together with Chair Simone Friedman, have led an exhaustive investigation into creating a dog park in Beverly Hills, expressed enthusiastic support for the pups. Stalled for months during environmental analysis, the project was put on hold because of elevated levels of arsenic in the soil.

Beverly Hills Dog Park Plans Unleashed For Public Comment By City Council By Victoria Talbot The Beverly Hills City Council let the dogs out Tuesday releasing a draft mitigated negative declaration for the 20-day public comment period. “We are the only City in our surrounding cities not to have a dog park,” said Councilmember Lili Bosse. As mayor last year, a dog park was a top priority. “It is long overdue.” Bosse was joined in those comments by residents and animal activists, including Teri Austin, president of the Amanda Foundation, Bill Crowe, executive director of Pets 90210, Marcia Hobbs, president and publisher of The where improvements are proposed to be undertaken. Although arsenic is a naturally occurring element, exposure to high levels of arsenic can cause death, according to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety & Health Administration. According to the American Cancer Society, exposure can be hazarderous and result in serious health problems, including the development of cancer. “It has always been and remains about putting our students’ and staff’s safety first,” Board President Brian Goldberg told The Courier. “When Beverly Hills Examines Possible Second Portal at ‘Wilshire/Rodeo’ Metro Station By Victoria Talbot With work underway to relocate utilities at the La Cienega station, the Beverly Hills City Council began discussions on the second Beverly Hills “Wilshire/Rodeo” portal for the Metro Purple Line Extension, to be located on Wilshire Boulevard between the alley on North Canon Drive and Reeves Drive. Currently, the line from that station station is to run to Century City at Constellation Boulevard, pending litigation with the Beverly Hills Unified School District over tunneling beneath Beverly Hills High School (ongoing.) Metro has budgeted a single portal access on the southwest corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Reeves Drive for access to the business triangle which is to be located at the current site of the ACE Gallery at 9430 Wilshire Blvd. Other buildings to be used for staging are located at 9383, 9393, and 9399 Wilshire Blvd. In addition, Councilman Willie Brien requested to have a second portal on the agenda for Tuesday's Study Session, to examine whether to ask staff to study that possibility for pedestrians. An exit on the north side of the street would avert pedestrian crossings on the busy Wilshire intersection to reach the business triangle. Brien's contention is that the City should be diligent in exploring every possibility now because there will not be any opportunity to do so once the station is completed. The cost of a second portal is estimated to exceed $25 million, said City engineer Mark Cuneo. Costs for the second portal would then be paid by City and private funding. Neither the City or L.A. County has (see ‘METRO’ page 18) Hall Files For Second Term Bid On Board Of Education, Goldberg Opts Out By Laura Coleman As of yesterday, Boardmember Lewis Hall became the fifth official candidate to file to run in the Nov. 3 Beverly Hills Unified School District Board of Education election. Current Board President Brian Goldberg yesterday informed The Courier that he would not be filing for a third term, which means that non-incumbent candidates now have until Aug. 12 to file. Said Hall: “Beverly Hills was once the model other districts followed and we can achieve this again by unifying our purpose and continuing to install enlightened leadership and confidence into the schools.” Incumbent Boardmember Noah Margo, former Board President Mel Spitz, Measure E Citizens Oversight Committee member Isabel Hacker and former Beverly Hills High School Principal Carter Paysinger have also filed papers. Former BHHS co-athletic director Jason Newman pulled papers on July 14, but has yet to officially file. “There are important issues that need to be the focus of this campaign for school board and instead it has become about adults who feel they need to prove something,” Goldberg said. “I am proud of my eight years of dedicated service to our community and my record of accomplishments while on the board.” >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> BEVERLY HILLS COURIER | AUGUST 7, 2015 Page 5 Gearys Named Winner Of 2015 Golden Palm Legacy Award By Laura Coleman Gearys Beverly Hills has been named this year's Legacy Award winner for the upcoming Golden Palm Awards gala dinner at The Beverly Wilshire on Monday, Oct. 5.

Protravel International Beverly Hills Joins In Fight Against Hunger By Matt Lopez Fresh on the heels of its Golden Palm Award win, Protravel International is continuing its fight to end hunger. Protravel participated last week in a “Day of Giving” event to support the fight against hunger. Protravel employees and agents volunteered 200 hours of their own time, donating 5,014 pounds of needed food items, while raising more than $5,200 in donations companywide. The concerted effort of the Day of Giving supports food banks and raises awareness for how depleted those food banks can become during the warm summer months. Protravel had employees in Beverly Hills, Pasadena and Encino participating. Protravel Beverly Hills donated to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. “Since hunger is a universal issue, everyone at Protravel was eager to help, especially since the initiative helped us appreciate how depleted food banks are during the summer months,” said Patrick Fragale, president of Protravel International. Protravel is a full-service, dynamic travel company with annual sales reaching close to $1 billion. Protravel was recently named “The Best” small business exemplifying community support in the 2015 Golden Palm Awards.

The review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) determined that project-specific mitigation measures will reduce the impacts to “less than significant.” Councilmember Willie Brien questioned Assistant Director of Community Development Ryan Gohlich for details. Gohlich said that the City will either remove two feet of contaminated soil and replace it with two feet of fresh soil as a buffer, or remove six inches of contaminated soil, put a waterpermeable mesh barrier in place, and place six inches of fresh soil on top. The soil will then be covered with a surface such as decomposed granite, as yet undetermined. Similar clean-up measures are being considered for Parcels 12 & 13, former railroad land, on Santa Monica Blvd. The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), a State regulatory agency under CalEPA, reports that arsenic does not travel or seep into groundwater. Nor is it airborne, thus it poses no threat as dust during construction or removal. The site, approved by the City Council last May, is a 21,000-square foot parcel at the intersection of Foothill Road and Alden Drive. That portion of the parcel is current- ly leased out, and shares the parcel with other City uses. Historically, the site was used to stable horses for the fire and police departments. Across the street Shipp’s Animal Hospital/the Amanda Foundation has been a veterinary hospital for 91 years. Dr. Winters’ Beverly Hills Small Animal Hospital has been next door for decades. Currently, reported several speakers at City Council, residents use the wide grassy area on Foothill for an “unofficial dog park.” Even the police use the site for K-9 training and exercise. Objections originally came from the four synagogues in the area, including Young Israel of North Beverly Hills, Magen David, West Coast Torah Center and Chabad of North Beverly Hills. RPC Vice Chair Bilak and Chair Friedman reached out to the rabbis last May. They negotiated the possible closure of the dog park from sundown Friday through noon on Saturday and during the High Holy Days so that congregants can walk safely, Bilak said, citing concerns about alleged aggressive dogs. With so many dogs on the street from residents, two veterinary hospitals and the Amanda Foundation, those safety concerns would perhaps be better met by extending the park’s operating hours to take the dogs off the street more of the time, especially on week- ends. The Council has tasked staff to resume conversations with the synagogues and to reengage the pubic on details about the park design and operational plans. City staff suggested the park be opened from 8 a.m. to dusk, which has already encountered resistance from working residents who may wish to use the park earlier or later. Last year, $400,000 was set-aside for the park design. Currently, minimal development is planned for the site. Hobbs suggested cutting edge dog-friendly exercise and training equipment with the additional available funds from Pets90210 and other animal lovers. One suggestion that already garnered approval was a separated zone for small dogs. “Let’s make this the best dog park in Southern California,” said Austin.

Abandoned Pregnant Dog Rescued In Shelter Parking Lot By Victoria Talbot Shelter Hope Pet Shop is where President/Publisher Marcia Hobbs found The Courier’s new mascot, the Beverly Hills Bear, a great Pyrenees/German shepherd mix. Last week, a volunteer was sent to pick up some dogs on death row at a shelter, where she found a labradoodle was tied up in the parking lot with a note that read, "FREE." Hours later Shelter Hope founder Kim Sills received a call – the labradoodle had given birth to eight puppies. A veterinarian pronounced all of them healthy, though mama dog was near starving. Now, they are safe and sound with a foster family until the babies are old enough to be weaned at eight weeks old. Then, they will be ready for adoption. "Mama and pups are now safe and sound," said Sills. "Just another days work at The Shelter Hope Pet Shop!". At Shelter Hope, visitors and volunteers meet over pets, for a win-win experience. Every time someone purchases pet merchandise at the store, they know that their dollars are going directly into finding homes for pets like Bear. Shelter Hope is a volunteer-run, non-profit pet shop, The mother labradoodle which partners with companies like NewMark Merrill, which donates a store front in a busy shopping mall in Thousand Oaks for adoptions and sales of donated merchandise.

Bear, (pictured left) sporting his zebra-print Ferragamo silk scarf beside Ferragamo Director Jon Borland, was particularly impressed with the new concept, which celebrates Ferragamo’s Hollywood roots, where the brand was founded 100 years ago. Silver travertine, Sarrancolin marble, stucco, Louvre limestone, and Etruscan rose marble adorn the interior and are complemented by brick red leather upholstered club chairs, cork side tables, glass rod floor lamps, art deco three layer poufs and Donald Deskey inspired lamps set on enameled metal and satin aluminum, offering a refined atmosphere reminiscent of the 1930s’ art deco by which Ferragamo was so inspired.

Rodeo Drive Committee Appoints Battalion To Helm PR By Laura Coleman It is all too rare that a man of vision and integrity ascends to a position of influential power–such was the case of Craig Donahue, the longtime creative and marketing force behind Rodeo Drive’s biggest and brightest celebrations, who died unexpectedly in March at the age of 50. Since Donahue’s passing, the 43-year-old Rodeo Drive Committee has had to reflect on just who it wants to be in the coming years as it sought a new public relations firm to fill the spot left by Donahue’s PR firm. This week, the committee announced it had appointed Battalion to direct public relations, events, marketing and sponsorship acquisi- tion for Rodeo Drive “Rodeo Drive is an icon of fashion, luxury, and entertainment, and like all true icons, it must continually evolve to stand the test of time,” Committee president Mark Tronstein said. “Together with the Committee, Battalion will heighten Rodeo Drive’s appeal ... by opening new inroads through conventional and social media, sponsorships, and event marketing [and] evolving proven platforms including the Rodeo Drive Walk of Style, Rodeo Drive Concours d'Elegance, and Beverly Hills Holiday Lighting Ceremony while also creating new event platforms that support businesses on the street.” BEVERLY HILLS THEATRE GUILD COCKTAIL PARTY–Longtime resident and Beverly Hills Theatre Guild chair Janet Salter hosted quite the celebration on Sunday at the guild’s annual cocktail party. The early evening soiree, beautifully set to perfect summer weather, served as a pre-event to celebrate Renee Taylor and Joe Bologna, who will be recognized by the Guild at its u p c o m i n g awards luncheon on Saturday, Sept. 20, at the Four Seasons Hotel, in tandem with their 50th wedding anniversary.

Photo by Amir BEVERLY HILLS JOE TILEM (Continued from page 1) At the time, the City of Beverly Hills was actively looking to populate the area with “retail convenience” stores, which the Federal Housing Administration required it do in tandem with using federal funds to create a senior housing project at Crescent and Dayton. Already, the City had enticed a barbershop, hair dresser, dry cleaner, bakery and grocery store to open in an area which until then offered few shopping options; but no one seemed interested in bringing a hardware store to the area until the Tilem’s opened shop. In the 1990’s, when Beverly Hills’ first hardware store, Pioneer Hardware, which opened on Beverly Drive in 1926, was about to close, the Tilem’s bought its inventory, hired its employees and took over its telephone number, subsequently renaming their store on Crescent, Pioneer. “We still have the continuity of the Pioneer from 1926,” Joe said of the general store that his son Jeff has run since 1994. “It’s like a wonderland. We’ve got 10,000 items.” For his part, Joe’s path from impoverished New Yorker to Beverly Hills mayor appears to have been navigated by providence. After high school, Joe spent a year-and-a-half attending City College of New York, before he decided at 18 to enroll in the New York State Maritime Academy to train to become a Merchant Marine in order to avoid getting drafted into the Army. After Joe graduated in 1947 with the Naval Reserve commission as a Lt. Junior Grade, he spent several months working as a merchant officer on multiple ships where month-long voyages would take him across the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, Europe, the Persian Gulf and the Canary Islands. Despite the exciting life of the sea and the allure of those that were drawn to become seamen, Joe’s father made it clear that it was not the career for which Joe was destined. “After a few months, my father sat me down and said, ‘Joe, this is not the thing for your lifetime,’” he recalled. “I said, ’Okay, I’ll go to college [and] California looked like a wonderful place to go.” Prompted by a suggestion made by the chief mate on one ship named Bob, Joe mailed a letter addressed to the ‘University of Southern California, Los Angeles’ from Alexandria, Egypt. “The postman decided it should go to UCLA,” Joe explained. And so by the time that Joe returned home to New York, a formal application was waiting for him. After graduating in 1949 with a degree in business ad- ministration and political science, Joe enrolled in UCLA’s inaugural law school class (Class of 1952), which originally comprised 45 men and 5 women students. The top two students were women. In Joe’s third year as a law student, he took a position clerking for a small Beverly Hills law firm at 247 S. Beverly Dr., where he earned 90 cents an hour. Once he passed the bar, he was raised to $1/hour. Part of his clerical duties included working for the Diners Club, the first credit card company, which Alfred Bloomingdale had started in 1952. From 1954 to 1960 he worked for the Diners Club, eventually becoming the company’s General Counsel and vice president. Joe’s work eventually caught the eye of Barron Hilton, who had recently launched Carte Blanche and despite the fact that the company was a competitor, Joe let himself be wooed away to become General Counsel and Vice President for Carte Blanche. After leaving the corporate world to launch a law practice in the early 1970’s, Joe was getting increasingly involved in the City. Prompted by concerns that a freeway would bifurcate Beverly Hills on Santa Monica Boulevard, just a block away from where he had moved in 1960 to 619 N. Foothill, he was determined to make sure the City stayed unified. In fact, at the time, the state’s master plan of California highways designated that a freeway could run along Santa Monica Boulevard, the historic Route 66. “It would have split Beverly Hills in half,” he said, of the undertaking that resulted in the state deleting the freeway from its master plan. “We fought like fury to prevent that from happening.” Together with his first wife June, whom Joe had met at UCLA and to whom he remained married for 40 years until they divorced, they raised three children, Jeffrey, Debra, and David. All three graduated from Hawthorne and Beverly Hills High School, although only their oldest got the benefit of having the opportunity to learn a second language starting in kindergarten before it was phased out. Today, Joe counts four grandchildren. Recently, Joe lost his second wife, Jean, who died just three months ago. He still mourns her loss greatly. The two originally dated in college, but it wasn’t until the 1990’s that they rekindled their romance, marrying in 1999. Following Joe’s success in making sure that a freeway would never divide Beverly Hills, Joe became more involved with the Municipal League, whose mandate was to stop excessive development in the City. In fact, the League August 7, 2015 | Page 9 successfully sued the City to prevent the Bank of America building at the corner of Santa Monica and Beverly Drive from being built at 12 stories. Eventually, friends began encouraging Joe to run for City Council, culminating in him becoming mayor in 1978. Among his proudest accomplishments while on the Council was creating a sustainable alternative revenue stream after Proposition 13 passed in 1978, effectively siphoning off more than half of the money the City had previously collected from property tax revenue. Following Prop 13’s passage, the City adopted a tax on rentals and hotels. Joe said he is also particularly proud of having been the swing-vote in the decision to create in-lieu parking on Rodeo Drive, which he credits for making the street a success. After separating from his early law partners in 1978 due to mayoral demands, Joe eventually co-founded Dawson, Tilem & Gole, a law firm specializing in land use, development and real estate that has been in the City for now for several decades and where he still works today. “When you reach the pinnacle, you can live in Beverly Hills,” Joe opined. “The name of Beverly Hills is such a universal name for a quality of life, style of life, safety, opulence. It’s an aspirational city.” B E V E R LY H I L L S R E A L E S TAT E LOMA LINDA (Continued from page 1) of “basement” cantilevered over the hillside with moat-like water features protruding above the homes and Coldwater Canyon Park with the preschool below. Grading included the export of 8,081 cubic yards of soil, encompassing 22-round trips daily for 30 months with two bars, underground parking for ten cars, and an indoor basketball court and bowling alley. The 22 foot-wide Loma Linda Drive with hairpin curves and steep hills is reminiscent of the conditions on Loma Vista Drive, where construction vehicles killed two LAPD officers. At the end, Loma LInda exits in a sharp turn onto Coldwater Canyon. In a hearing last December, the Planning Commission told Aquilini that the project needed major changes. Four of the five commissioners, Chair Howard Fisher the exception, rejected granting permit approvals. In fact, Aquilini was advised to meet with a subcommittee, including two commissioners, to create a transparent dialogue with neighbors and to improve the project proposal. However, at the January meeting, PC Chair Fisher, who at first recommended the subcommittee, offered the developer the option of bringing a revised proposal back to the Planning Commission for a public hearing–instead of meeting with a subcommittee and neighbors. At the December meeting, Aquilini was directed to substantially reduce the size and impacts of the project and City staff was directed to clean up the MND, which was full of errors and omissions. In addition, major traffic impacts were simply omitted, including concrete and rebar delivery and worker vans, construction-related parking and the failure to identify the preschool in the documents. And despite having had more than eight months to prepare the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), the project was dropped on stakeholders with only days for review. Neighbors received the MND Monday afternoon; the final set of plans arrived at 11:30 Monday evening by email to neighbors. Given the history of the developer’s submissions, neighbors knew they had to look very closely for mistakes and BEVERLY HILLS COURIER | AUGUST 7, 2015 Page 10 omissions. Despite residents’ request for time, the late submission allowed little opportunity for analysis and response. In the revised documents, the difference in cumulative square feet was achieved by the removal of three of the ten underground parking spaces and the indoor basketball court. The current project proposal still calls for 21,415 square feet and 5,374 cubic yards of soil export with up to 18 round trips per day for 25 months of hauling only. But the City’s project guidelines still only allow for 15,000 cumulative square feet and hauling 3,000 cubic yards of dirt. To move forward, the Planning Commission must grant R-1 permit approvals for the exemptions. “In order to approve a Hillside R-1 Permit for a single family home, the commission must make the specific findings that ‘the development will not have a substantial adverse impact on the scale, integrity, or character of the area or on the privacy of the neighboring properties.’ The Commission cannot make these findings, because the proposed development is nearly four times the average size of other homes on Loma Linda, the design clashes with the quaint street of historic homes, and the project’s massive decks look di- rectly into the private backyards of nearby residents,” said Attorney Sheri L. Bonstelle, Partner at JMBM. But perhaps the most audacious request is for a street vacation. The developer is asking the Planning Commission to recommend to the City Council their support to take the end of the cul-de-sac, which is highly unusual and controversial, removing that portion of the street from the public purview and giving it to the developer. In exchange, the developer says that he will build an improved fire department turnaround. That is hardly a replacement for the cul-de-sac where people safely recreate and enjoy the views, including residents from Coldwater Canyon , where traffic prevents pedestrian traffic, and the surrounding areas, as well as Loma Linda. “For the city to grant a private developer exclusive possession of the public right-ofway to the detriment of residents and in opposition to residents–would be breathtaking,” said Murphy. In 10 years there have only been three such vacations; and only once for residential development. The Aquilini project has galvanized the opposition. Yard signs dot the neighborhood, proclaiming “Save Our Neighborhood; Stop Aquilini.” Over 85-percent of neighborhood residents have signed a petition opposing the project. The Courier is in possession of the letters and peti- Residents opposed to the development have posted yard signs throughout the area. tion for verification. Overdevelopment, it seems, has reached a tipping point in Beverly Hills. "This project would destroy the neighborhood’s intimate character; invade the privacy of neighbors and Coldwater Canyon Park below the project; generate enormous traffic dangers and congestion on Loma Linda and Coldwater; and subject the neighborhood to excessive noise and dirt," said Murphy. For those who thought this could not happen here, think again. Pitting residents against real estate developers, tension has crossed the invisible line. Such galvanization has begun to take shape across the hillsides of Los Angeles. In Bel Air, neighbors have formed the Bel-Air Alliance to fight Los Angeles City Hall and developers. Celebrity resident Jennifer Aniston has joined the fray. Sullivan Canyon is facing similar problems. The megamansion development has coalesced the neighborhood as developers like Aquilini and Mohamed Hadid begin bulldozing through canyons where generations of residents have sought refuge. Neighbors expressing opposition, some with lawyers including Ben Reznik, are expected to be at the hearing on Th u r s d ay, Aug. 13 at 1:30 p.m. BEVERLY HILLS COURIER | AUGUST 7, 2015 Page 11 ARTS & E N T E RTA I N M E N T Singer Tony Orlando Comes Home To Present Concert For Temple Of The Arts Famed singer Tony Orlando will bring his hits—Tie A Yellow Ribbon ‘Round The Ole Oak Tree, Candida, Knock Three Times, Sweet Gypsy Rose, He Don’t Love You and more—and unexpected surprises to a special concert at 8 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 16 at The Saban Theatre, 8440 Wilshire Blvd. He’s enlisted longtime “friend and buddy” comedian Yakov Smirnoff to open the show. (Smirnoff has his own Saban date on Aug. 29). Orlando sees this debut at the theater as his chance to “give back to a city that’s done so much for me.” A percentage of the proceeds will be donated to the Temple and its charities. “This City has been a significant part of my life,” says Orlando. He was living in the City when he started his TV career, and was managed by “mentor and friend” resident Norman Brokaw. Orlando, who spends 135 days a year on the road, has just returned from a tour of Asia with his band of 18 years. “We’re like family and they Tony Orlando Golda Berkman Featured in Opera Camp’s Then I Stood Up: A Civil Rights Cycle History will be sitting in the audience when LA Opera’s Opera Camp presents Then I Stood Up: A Civil Rights Cycle, this weekend at the Barnsdall Gallery Theatre, 4800 Hollywood Blvd. The production weaves together suites of music from three operas: • Hans Krása’s World War II-era Brundibár that was performed by children imprisoned in the Terezín concentration camp; • Friedl, about a woman who secretly taught art to the children of Terezín; • The White Bird Of Poston, about a Japanese-American teenage girl who forms a bond with a Native American boy while living at the Poston Internment Camp in Arizona. Friedl and The White Bird Of Poston are by composer Eli Villanueva and librettist Leslie Stevens of LA Opera. Attending today’s dress rehearsal and all weekend performances will be Ela Weissberger, 85, who played the role of Kocour, or the Cat in the original Terezín presentations of Brundibár when she was just 11. Not only will the New York resident be reliving that experience, but she’ll also recall her art teacher Friedl DickerBrandeis, the subject of Friedl and portrayed by family friend and Opera Camp student, resident and BHHS student Golda Berkman. “Friedl lives in my body,” Weissberger explained. “She is still alive in my heart. She would tell us, ‘You are not numbers. You have a name.’” D i c k e rBrandeis’ work and l e g a c y remain today. Before she was killed in Au s ch w i t z Birkenau, she hid away 4,500 drawings by her students in two suitcases. From the nearly 660 artists of the drawings, Golda Berkman 550 were killed in the Holocaust. The drawings are now in the Jewish Museum in Prague’s collection, with some on display in the Pinkas Synagogue in Prague. “Friedl told us, ‘Children, look outside. It’s a beautiful day. The sun is out. Terezín is a fortress surrounded by mountains. But behind those mountains is hope, the hope that you will survive.’” Opera Camp students, ages 9-17 were selected from auditions last spring. Each summer, the productions explore issues of social justice and civil rights.

The festival, funded by The Friars Charitable Foundation, housed in the Glassell Park community, a largely underserved area of Northeast L.A., engaged at-risk youth, ages 617, in Harmony Project’s comprehensive music program through the study of mariachi playing. The festival focused on building music fundamentals; and children received rigorous music instruction and enrichment activities to build creative and critical thinking and lifetime skills.

He’s been known to turn to the group and launch into Led Zepplin’s Whole Lotta Love, which he points out is six years older than Ribbon. He first performed the Irwin Levine and L. Russell Brown classic for POWs in Dallas with Bob Hope; and it became an international phenomenon during the Vietnam War. In his 54th year as an entertainer (he at 16 and Carol King both had their first hit with Halfway To Paradise in 1961), Orlando attributes much of his success to “songs that have lasted and passed the test of time.” Then there’s his love of performing. “I don’t remember ever walking out and saying, ‘Oh man. Why am I here?’ I thank God for the opportunity. My goal is to have people say, ‘that was worth coming to.’” Doors open at 6 p.m. Tickets range from $38-$58; and those under 18 must be accompanied by a paying adults.

UCLA Fountain Honors Donors Who, At The Time Of Death, Gave Life To Others Two years ago, Rachel Greenberg went out to run a few errands. While she was gone, her husband Glenn suffered a massive brain hemorrhage. He was taken to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center where physicians explained he had suffered the worst kind of brain bleed. They operated, but after four days it was clear he would not survive. Greenberg was kept on a ventilator and during this vigil, Rachel learned that when he had renewed his driver’s license a few months earlier, he had become an organ donor. Greenberg’s donation went on to help 89 individuals, ranging from 19 to 92. “Organ donation is a positive and powerful thing we can do to help families and loved ones transition from grief to opportunity to help others who are in need,” said Dr. Paul Vespa, director of neurotropical care at Reagan UCLA Medical Center and a professor of neurosurgery and neurology at UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine. To honor these special donors who became organ, eye and tissue donors at the time of their deaths at Reagan UCLA Medical Center or UCLA Medical Center, Santa Monica; UCLA Health and One Legacy, a nonprofit dedicated to saving lives through organ and tissue donation in greater L.A., held a ceremony last month to dedicate the Gift of Life Fountain, located in the medical center’s Garden of Peace. Loved ones of donors will be able to place special engraved medallions in the water, and the donor’s names will be added to an online donor recognition webpage. At the dedication ceremony led by the Rev. Karen Schnell, UCLA Health director of spiritual care, a plaque was unveiled by Richard Azar, UCLA executive director of general services, reading: “Lovingly placed by their family and friends, each medallion in this fountain commemorates an individual who gave the gift of life and health to others through organ, eye and tissue donation.” Representatives from UCLA, One Legacy and families then tossed medallions into the water. The concept of honoring organ, eye and tissue donors has been years in the making at UCLA. The project finally became a reality, thanks to a monetary gift made by the late Gary Foxen, a UCLA lung transplant recipient. “Throughout the coming days, weeks and months, we will see family members coming to the memorial fountain to place a medallion honoring their loved one,” said Schnell, who called the fountain a sacred site. “This is a sacred moment, and we as the UCLA Health community should be sensitive to what is happening and give these families space to honor their very personal moment.” For more information on the memorial, visit www.transplants.ucla.edu/ GiftofLife. August 7, 2015 | Page 13 BEVERLY HILLS On Getting People To Open Up, Baby Talk Q. Dear Dr. Fran: I just got my first job as a college counselor. What is the best way to get people to “open up”? Geraldine O. A. Dear Geraldine: The first way to help people “open up” is to create an relaxed, non-judgmental environment. Do this with a smile and by projecting an attitude that “even” university professionals are imperfect, flawed humanbeings. Help the young college students see that we, too, are on a learning curve and the best way to learn is with self-acceptance and humor. Also, be sure to ask openended questions, versus yes/no queries. For examples, instead of asking “Do you like school here?” say “Tell me about how it's going for you here at.........” This facilitates the young adult to think, process, retrieve information, and express it personally. My favorite question to ask people to help them “open up” is, “If you could have three wishes granted, what would they be?” Dear Dr. Fran: Who is better at Baby Talk – moms or dads? Thanks, Michelle D. A. Dear Michelle: The real underlying issue beneath your question is which of the two sexes is more comfortable Dr. Fran Walfish Answers Your Questions allowing themselves to be more open and vulnerable publicly. Generally, it is moms because they are of the female gender. That said, this issue is really very individual specific. There are many sensitive, intuitive, empathic, and emotionally vulnerable dads who are comfortable making a fool of them- selves in public by talking baby talk with their young children. And, there are just as many cool to cold moms who would rather their husband talk baby talk than they personally expose themselves to possible public humiliation. Baby Talk originated as a fundamental way of mirroring the non-fluent or non-verbal infant and toddler to demonstrate that a warm, caring caregiver loves them and is trying to understand their experience, needs and wants.

Things escalated quickly, and Aurelien soon told his son that he would not be selling him the remaining shares of the business. “I took my tools and left for two years, I didn’t talk to my father during that time,” said Eric, who noted that well-known hairdresser José Eber, who got his start under the Lintermans, moved into Eric’s role in the business after he left. “José was, and still is, quite the character,” Eric said, laughing. Not long after, Eric purchased a salon at the corner of Camden/Wilshire from trendy french moroccan hairdresser Elie Ezerzer, who at the time was reported to have been dating Priscilla Presley. Eric’s ownership of the salon put him in direct competition with his father, who at that time had moved from Rodeo Drive to the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and Bedford Drive. The hair wars didn’t last too long. A couple of years later, after building his name and reputation in the industry, Eber left to start his own salon, wiping Aurelien clean of most of his clientele. “At that time my father wasn’t at the shop full-time anymore, José was really running the shop and when he left my father couldn’t keep it running much longer,” Eric said. Father and son finally reconciled a few years later during a get-together that Eric credits to Aurelien’s fifth wife. Aurelien, who was now retired from the field, agreed to allow Eric to use the classic Lintermans logo that Aurelien had used since the inception of the business. That logo still adorns Eric’s business cards today. Eric now carries on the Lintermans name, and his father’s world-renowned dry-cutting technique, at Eric Lintermans at Mauro on 421 N. Rodeo Dr. Aurelien came to Beverly Hills in 1964 after owning successful salons in Belgium, Paris and New York. “Every hairdresser had or has their own thing, but my father invented the dry-cutting technique, which is certainly more difficult than cutting wet,” Eric said, adding that his father “never allowed razors in his salon. I still don’t have a razor in my salon, in keeping with that tradition.” The Lintermans client list over the years has been a veritable “who’s who” of Hollywood elite, including names like Lucille Ball (and occasionally Desi Arnaz Sr. and Jr.), Farrah Fawcett, Blythe Danner, Tyne Daly and many more. Outside of his Rodeo Drive shop, Eric still makes house calls and said he still cuts the hair of “Mr. Beverly Hills” himself, Fred Hayman. Lasting 51 years in Beverly Hills, or anywhere for that matter, isn’t easy, but Eric says at the end of the day, it comes down to the rapport he tries to build with his clients. “It’s a people’s business, you have to know how to deal with people because so many funny things happen in their life and they need to tell someone about it,” Eric said. “I always say you’re paying for the haircut, but the psychiatry is free.” BEVERLY HILLS COURIER | AUGUST 7, 2015 Page 16 A N O T H E R B I RT H D AY ! ?

This features more than 100 high heels and 50 historical designs drawn from designer archives, the Brooklyn Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Arts’ renowned costume collections. Beyond the archetypal forms of high heels – stiletto, wedge and platform – the exhibition’s focus is on designs that play with the sculptural, architectural and artistic possibilities of the high heel using innovative or unexpected materials or techniques that push the limits of functionality, wear-ability and conventional beauty through surprising structure, shape and height. The heels will be exhibited in six themed areas spanning the 17th century to the present, each reflects the design of the shoes, shifting fashion trends, social preferences and surprising similarities across cultures and time.

Brooks Brothers landlord Robert S. Anderson, who is poised to be voted onto the Board of the Rodeo Drive Committee, was more outspoken about what he calls duplicity on the part of attorney Steve Webb, who represented Bijan to get the City Council to approve the installation. Anderson asserted that Webb misled the City Council by falsely portraying that the Committee was in support of the installation. “This is outrageous...it cheapens the whole idea of the Walk of Style and the plaques that we put into the sidewalk acknowledging designers and individuals who have had a major impact on fashion and style in the industry,” Anderson said. The Walk of Style began in 2003 to commemorate fashion icons. Each recipient has a plaque on the prestigious Rodeo Drive. In fact, as the committee’s letter will point out, the businesses on the street were unaware that Bijan planned to install plaques on Rodeo Drive. An email chain dated Aug. 24, 2013 from the committee’s president at that time, Jim Jahant, appears to support that the committee was unaware that Bijan planned to install the plaques now outside the store, although it did support the boutique’s desire to paint the parking meter yellow to match the Bijan icon yellow color in recognition of Bijan’s death on April 16, 2011. Jahant writes to Webb: “Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the meeting, but I have been told that the meter was unanimously approved. However, there was a request for an accompanying sign that was not initially discussed with the committee when the meter was originally approved. The committee would like to suggest a small bronze plaque at the base of the meter rather than the sign on the tree.” The email was sent after Dar Mahboubi, Bijan’s chairman, who co-founded the store together with Bijan Pakzad in 1976, made a presentation to the Committee. Mahboubi told The Courier that when he made his presentation to the Committee in August, the members were shown digitally altered photographs depicting what the street would look like once those seven plaques were installed. “The City Council, Public Works, Hugo Boss, the Rodeo Drive Committee, everybody out their put their stamp of approval on it,” Mahboubi said. However, not one member of the committee, with the ex- NO ESCAPE 1 BY ELLEN LEUSCHNER AND JEFF CHEN / EDITED BY WILL SHORTZ THE NEW YORK TIMES SUNDAY MAGAZINE CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 1 Drug charge? 6 Petition 10 War ____ 13 Govt. health org. 16 Conductor’s resistance 17 Mark’s replacement 18 Laugh syllable 19 Scenic drapery fabric 21 Novella that served as the basis for “Apocalypse Now” 24 Like dough after baking 25 Actress Suvari of “American Beauty” 26 Mercedes-Benz competitor 27 Panama part 28 Remove a piece from? 29 “The Phantom Menace” in the “Star Wars” series 31 Feminist of 1970s TV 32 “Silas Marner” girl 33 Chemical ending 34 ____ contendere 37 Hooey 39 Short lines at the checkout? 40 To whom Dionne Warwick asked “What’s it all about?” in a 1967 hit 43 Idol worshiper? 45 From scratch Online subscriptions: Today’s puzzle and more ANSWERS FOUND than 4,000 past puzzles, nytimes.com/crosswords IN NEXT ($39.95 a year).

The building being considered is located adjacent to the 9461 Wilshire Blvd. office building, currently occupied by Chase. A conceptual design from 2011 showed that a "half portal could be built at this location with the removal of the southbound turn lane from Beverly Drive to Wilshire Boulevard. A development agreement from August 2007 includes a provision that the developer provide an easement for the purpose of a portal for a subway station under Wilshire Boulevard," according to the staff report. The tentative plan is to proceed with “advanced preliminary engineering” for Section 2, from Wilshire/Rodeo to Century City. The draft Project Definition Documents for Section 2 will include the Wilshire/Rodeo station plans, street work sections, traffic control, utility relocations and construction staging areas to be used for procurement of the Design-Build Contractor for that section. In 2011, Councilmember Lili Bosse was on the Planning Commission.

For that reason, the second portal was not pursued. Other options include a “half-portal” insisted Brien. “A second partial portal, not a full portal,” said Brien, “like in New York and Washington, D.C. with escalators or elevators that would take up less space without the larger impacts.” Mirisch agreed with Brien's assessment. “You gotta cross the street,” said Vice Mayor John Mirisch. “We've got one shot at it. This is one of the reasons we are paying billions in taxes to Metro and they should get it right the first time.” Council agreed to have staff investigate the second portal and look at traffic and parking impacts and budget. Both stations, La Cienega and Rodeo/Wilshire, are being constructed without a plan for public parking and to date, Cuneo confirmed, Metro has no curb cut-out for drop-offs, either. “Access is one of the things we are discussing with Metro,” he said. Metro has proposed a bicycle option for access, calling it “first-mile/last mile,” with a proposal to eventually incorporate bike share stations along the route. Touted as transportation to the Music Center in Downtown Los Angeles, access to the Metro is indeed, going to be an issue. METRO ception of Mahboubi, has voiced any recollection of a presentation that included the addition of multiple plaques. In fact, members aver that the committee was falsely portrayed to the City Council as being in support of the installation. In anticipation of the City Council approving the installation of the Bijan plaques and painting the meter yellow, an April 1, 2014 Beverly Hills City staff report inaccurately states that Jahant “indicated” that the committee supported the request. In fact, the Committee seems to have been entirely unaware of the presentation to the City Council; if the committee had seen the presentation, they would have clearly seen what the City Council saw–a proposal to saw-cut the existing concrete and insert seven 2.5-inch thick precast plaques. The report noted that of concern is that it “establishes precedence for private branding in the public right-of-way [and] could blur the distinction intended by the award of a Walk of Style plaque on Rodeo Drive.” Mayor Julian Gold did not return The Courier’s request for comment about what the City plans to do, given that the City Council approved an item after it was misinformed that the Rodeo Drive Committee endorsed the installation. 100 “The Lord of the Rings” creature 110 114 102 Not keep up 103 Like Navy SEALs 104 Some contents of a Masonic manual 105 “____ who?” 108 “Darn!” 109 Classic theater name 113 Mork and Worf 114 Jackie’s Onassis BEVERLY HILLS August 7, 2015 | Page 19 PUBLIC NOTICES APN: 4339-009-125 T.S.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.

You 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 POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (916) 939-0772 or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.c om, using the file number assigned to this case 130506-11. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.

Seitz Special Sections Editor Stephen P. Simmons ****** Founding Publisher March Schwartz (Publisher 1965-2004) Clifton S. Smith, Jr. (Publisher 2004-2014) The Courier is proud to be a Education Partner Guest Editorial By Robert K. Tanenbaum INFAMY We are a nation in peril. Our feckless president conjures political illusions to manipulate public opinion by misrepresenting the facts. A brief glimpse of Obama, the fabulist, regarding matters of extreme public interest: 1. ACA (Affordable Care Act): “If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor” and “If you like your health plan you can keep your plan.” 2. Benghazi, Libya, terrorist attack on the US Consulate that resulted in the deaths of four Americans including the U.S. Ambassador: The terrorist assault occurred on Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2012. On the following Friday, Sept. 14, at Andrews Air Force Base, President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with the families of the four slain Americans who were repose in four flag draped coffins. Mr. Obama misinformed the families about the true nature of the attack. Instead of informing them that their loved ones were targeted during a terrorist attack which he and Hillary Clinton knew was the truth, he assured them that a videographer was responsible. Mr. Obama was running for re-election with a foreign policy mantra of “al Qaeda’s on the run.” 3. Syrian chemical weapons issue: Mr. Obama, who threatened the Assad Syrian regime with the use of military force if it didn’t destroy all of its chemical weapons, assured us all that, in fact, Syria had complied as a direct result of his expert diplomacy. Even John Kerry, current Secretary of State, joyously sang with the chorus triumphantly whistling in a speech on March 25, 2015: “We cut a deal and were able to get all the chemical weapons out of Syria…” Yet the CIA, now completely contradicts President Obama and Secretary Kerry, claiming that Syria has retained its chemical weapons arsenal which it hid from inspectors. 3. The Iran Nuclear Deal: At the outset of the alleged negotiations with the Iranian Islamofacist regime, President Obama promised the American people that the objectives of any deal would be to dismantle Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and put in place a reliable program assuring “anywhere, anytime” inspections. As recent as April 6, 2015, Mr. Obama’s deputy national security advisor, Ben Rhodes, re-affirmed that the “anywhere, anytime” inspections were very much part of the deal. Pursuant to the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act which President Obama signed into law in May, before the Iran nuclear deal had concluded, the administration, henceforth in negotiations with Iran, would be required to disclose and supply all nuclear agreement documents related to the deal including those “entered into or made between Iran and any other parties.” Yet, not until Senator Tom Cotton’s recent trip to Vienna to meet with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) did we learn that there were so-called separate side, secret deals entered into between the IAEA and Iran. Sen. Cotton disclosed this vital information to the American people not the Administration! As of this writing, neither the Congress nor the American people have copies of these agreements. Two significant issues are addressed in these secret side deals: inspections and existing weaponization. Iran has now made clear its intention not to permit any Americans or Canadians to be part of the inspection process. Iran has further shut out the IAEA for a decade already from having access to inspect the Parchin military site where Iran is suspected of carrying out experiments and tests on weaponizing a nuclear device. On July 31, 2015, Mr. Velayat, a top advisor to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, appeared on Al-Jazeera T.V. and stated: “Regardless of how the P5+1 countries interpret the nuclear agreement, their entry into our military sites is absolutely forbidden. The entry of any foreigner, including the IAEA inspectors or any other inspectors to sensitive military sites of the Islamic Republic is forbidden, no matter what.” Also, Iran refuses to submit a declaration of its existing weaponization capability. Without that information, we will be unable to know the extent of its cheating and its capacity to breakout in time to fulfill its national commitment to become a nuclear power. Finally, with respect to the secret separate side deals, the Administration accepts the reality that the Iranians and the IAEA will know the content of the deals but not the U.S. Congress or the American people. In fact, when the Administration informs the Congress what it knows of the secret deals, it does so only in closed session. By way of analogy, would it offend your common sense if I suggested to you that if you were purchasing a home that you would demand having in your possession a copy of the exact separate agreement entered into between your banker (mortgagor) and the title company on which you are relying to grant you full unencumbered title? Similarly, shouldn’t the American people and the Congress have copies of these secret separate side deals? You don’t have to be a radical rationalist to disclaim Obama and Kerry’s delusional, mindless sponsorship of the mortally dangerous Iran nuclear deal. By lifting sanctions, Iran will receive one-hundred plus billion dollars that it will use to sponsor terrorism against the United States and Israel as it has uninterruptedly through today and help increase its nuclear program. This deal will assure that Iran will develop a nuclear weapon. When it gets it, Iran has already stated that it will annihilate Israel and be able to weaponize and deliver ICBMs into U.S. cities. Recently, Khamenei authored a book entitled Palestine – a 416 page screed of hate that wreaks with his message of destruction to America and Israel and addresses his view that the Holocaust never happened! In 1938, at Munich, Germany, the western Allies negotiated with Hitler and his Nazi sycophants. Hitler demanded the Sudetenland, a north western portion of then Czechoslovakia, and the Allies gave it to him without a Czech at the conference table. British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain returned to England and pronounced peace in our time. Winston Churchill responded in substance that at Munich the Allies had a choice between dishonor and war. They chose dishonor and got war. Nuclear weapons, guided missiles, and armored tanks trump the “good intentions” of those unable or unwilling to face evil which must be confronted and destroyed if civilization as we know it will prevail.

Bravery will be rewarded many ways, starting with the companionship of a muchadmired friend. September brings a landmark acquisition. You’ll sparkle by inspiring others to be resourceful and creative in October, a financial high. You’ll ink a new deal in January. Sagittarius and Virgo people adore you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Rarely do you find yourself in a horrible situation you must endure. That’s why boredom is a bigger threat than any other these days and one you’ll stave off with the help of an Aquarius. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you look at something long enough, you start to unsee it. It’s the primary reason people don’t constantly celebrate the beauty of their hometown and family members take one another for granted. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The bigger obstacles need to be handled with a lever. Look around. What can you use to dislodge this? “Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.”—Archimedes SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The day favors good habits. There’s one quickly becoming part of your regular routine. Soon this will be deeply ingrained in your manner, and people will see it as “so you.” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll soon make the effort to see someone, and that intention, plus the scheduling, travel, parking, etc., will be, in and of itself, a gift. And yet, you still need to bring a gift. You’ll find the perfect one today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Usually, you’re the one who has to come up with a plan. Today, someone you trust will present you with ideas you would be wise to accept. Excellent! PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). You like to be liked, but you don’t need it. That’s why, when you catch yourself subconsciously working for the approval of an authority figure, it bothers you on a deep level. Remember that, ultimately, you are the boss of you. ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). You don’t need to be confident to be effective. Some days you’re unsure of yourself, and it's actually appropriate for the situation. A lack of confidence can help you learn all you can from the situation. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). Though a cynical view may be more intelligent and snark can be hilarious, kindness cannot be overrated. It’s connected to compassion, patience and, ultimately, love. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Some believe weakness should be rejected, stomped out, eliminated. Others think weakness can be turned into strength. You believe weakness must be turned into strength. It's the only way to greatness. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There was a time when you didn’t feel you had a right to express yourself. Now you see that speaking your mind and asking for what you need are ultimately better for everyone. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Like oxygen fuels a fire, what you lack fuels your ambition. Therefore, when you’re sad or angry about what you lack, it’s your choice. You could also apply another emotional tone to the situation–or instance, determination.
