The Peninsula Beverly Hills
Celebrates 25 Years
By Matt Lopez
Twenty-five years ago Monday,
at 8:08 a.m., The Peninsula Beverly
Hills cut the ceremonial ribbon
and officially opened its doors to
the community.
This week, at that exact same
time on Monday, The Peninsula
Beverly Hills staff welcomed community members and City dignitaries to celebrate 25 years of success in Beverly Hills.
“This is a very special
moment,” Peninsula Beverly Hills
Managing
Director
Offer
Nissenbaum said just before
Monday’s ribbon-cutting ceremony. “Twenty-five years ago this
incredible, iconic property opened
its gates. We are so thrilled to celebrate this very important milestone.”
The Peninsula’s entire staff
joined Nissenbaum and Peninsula
Managing Partner Robert Zarnegin
at the front door of the hotel to cut

School Board Will Place New
Bond On November Ballot

The future of Beverly Hills

On Tuesday, the Beverly Hills

million school building bond on
the November ballot.
The board was unable to

would have required a 55 percent
vote, so it will go on the ballot as a

The Planning Commission of the City of Beverly Hills, at its REGULAR meeting on Thursday, August 25, 2016, will hold a public
hearing beginning at 1:30 PM, or as soon thereafter as the matter
may be heard to consider a request to allow the construction of a
deck that covers a portion of a driveway that leads to subterranean
parking to be located in a required side yard at the residential property located at 1011 Lexington Road. The subject site is located in
the Hillside Area of the City. Construction of the proposed project
requires the following entitlements:
Zone Text Amendment. The project includes a request to
amend portions of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code
(BHMC). The proposed Zone Text Amendment would
amend BHMC §5-2-106, §5-2-107, § 10-3-100, § 10-31604, and §10-3-2003, and add BHMC § 10-3-1620.3 to
allow ancillary pet boarding facilities that provide day
and/or night pet boarding in retail establishments located
in certain commercial zones through a Conditional Use
Permit. The proposed Zone Text Amendment would establish criteria for pet boarding facilities that are ancillary to
a retail space and, among other things, do not occupy more
than 30% of the floor area of the retail establishment.
Conditional Use Permit. The proposed project includes a
request for Conditional Use Permit to allow the establishment of ancillary pet boarding in an existing retail space
located at 9388 South Santa Monica Boulevard (Pussy &
Pooch). If approved, the Conditional Use Permit would
allow up to 3,337 square feet of the existing 11,696 square
feet of the pet retail business to be used for pet boarding
(up to 35 animals at a time). If approved, the requested
Conditional Use Permit would be contingent upon the proposed Zone Text Amendment being approved by the City
Council and taking effect.
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. Staff believes the project qualifies for
Class 1 and Class 5 Categorical Exemptions pursuant to
Sections 15301 and 15305 of Title 14 of the California Code of
Regulations for minor additions and operational changes to an
existing building, as well as minor changes in land use limitations. The proposed Zone Text Amendment would allow pet
boarding as an ancillary activity in retail establishments located
in certain commercial zones in the City. The Commission will
consider whether the project 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.
Zone Text Amendment:
The proposed Zone Text Amendment would amend BHMC
§10-3-2509 (Permissible Encroachments in Side Yards, Street
Side Yards, Pad Edge Setbacks, and Rear Yards) to allow
decks located at finished first floor level that cover portions
of driveways that lead to subterranean parking as permissible
encroachments in required side yards in the Hillside Area of
the City. Said decks are currently allowed as permissible
encroachments in the Central Area of the City. Additionally,
BHMC §10-3-2409 would be amended to ensure consistency
with the language proposed for the Hillside. Lastly, the Floor
Area definition applicable to a single-family residential zone
in BHMC §10-3-100 would be clarified to expressly exempt
the subterranean space created below the proposed decks
from counting as floor area.
The project has been reviewed pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA, Public Resources Code
Sections 21000 et seq.), the State CEQA Guidelines (California
Code of Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15000 et seq.), and the environmental regulations of the City. The project appears to qualify for
a Class 3 Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15303 (New
Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) and a Class 5
Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15305 (Minor
Alterations in Land Use Limitations). The exemptions are applicable to projects characterized as construction of new, small structures
accessory to a residence, as well as minor changes in land use limitations such as the amendment to the zoning code to allow decks
located at finished first floor level that cover portions of driveways
that lead to subterranean parking as permissible encroachments in
required side yards in the Hillside Area of the City. Furthermore,
allowing such decks in the Hillside would not result in additional
grading as driveways that lead to subterranean parking are currently
allowed structures in the Hillside, and the proposed decks would be
covering the already-approved driveway structures. Therefore, the
project has been determined not to have a significant environmental
impact and the Planning Commission will consider exemptions
from the provisions of CEQA as noted above.
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.

2016 Olympic Games Spotlight Zika Fears
By Kate MacCary
The Zika virus has been
challenging public health officials since 2015 as scientists
race to find a vaccine. The
spotlight has been particularly
strong this past week with the
start of the 2016 Summer
Olympics in Rio and news that
the U.S. marked its first Zikalinked death when a Texas
newborn died from microcephaly.
Carried by infected Aedes

spread both from that insect
vector as well as from intimate
human-to-human contact.
For Beverly Hills mother of

been enjoying this year’s

Zika have amplified in concert
with travelling to a region that
has been heavily affected by
the virus.
“While we are less con-

Beverly Hills Staffers Get Stray Cat Hit By Car
Back On His Feet; Seek Forever Home
By Matt Lopez
A stray cat that found its
way to Beverly Hills City Hall
on Friday is now looking for a
permanent home.
City Hall was just closing
Friday when a customer ran
inside the building, announcing to the City’s permit desk
that the cat had been hit by a
car on Rexford Drive.
A couple of Beverly Hills
Police Officers, some good
Samaritans, and City staffers,
including Karen Myron, headed outside and found the
scared kitty hiding inside some
bushes.
After getting him in a box,
the cat – now named “Lucky
Frank” – was taken to the
Amanda Foundation to get
checked out. Tests revealed
that aside from some swelling
on his head, there were no broken bones or any significant
internal injuries.
Lucky Frank is “eartipped”, which usually
denotes that a feral cat
has been sterilized, but
Bill Crowe of The Pet
Care Foundation, who
visited with Lucky

after

definitely not feral.

Opening Brief in 332-336 North
Oakhurst Drive CEQA Lawsuit
Reveals L.A. Planning Knew Of
Historic Significance
By Victoria Talbot
The opening arguments in
a California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) lawsuit for
three buildings located in both
Los Angeles and Beverly Hills
were filed last week. The was
filed last year to request a
CEQA review to evaluate the
property for its historical significance, among other issues.
Concerned Citizens of
Beverly Hills/Beverly Grove
filed the brief in support of a
Petition for Writ of Mandamus
under
the
California
Environmental Quality Act in
the California Superior Court
claiming that the City of Los
Angeles failed to disclose, mitigate and adequately analyze
the impacts of its decision to
approve the proposed condominium project.
Among the concerns is the
nature of the nine buildings on
the east side of North Oakhurst
Drive that may form a potential
Historic District.
The buildings located at
332-336 N. Oakhurst constitute one third of the historic
district.
The project proposal is for
a 31-unit, 5-story condominium project greenlit by L.A.
when the Beverly Hills City
Council declined to file an
appeal on Feb. 12 last year
before the Los Angeles
Planning Commission.
At that meeting, Beverly
Hills Senior Planner Ryan
Gohlich
(now
Assistant
Director of City Planning) provided an incomplete summary
of the project that minimized
the concerns of the immediate
community that the property
had significant historic value,
leaving council members baffled as to why they were called
to the special meeting in the
first place. Then-mayor Lili
Bosse was not present at the
meeting.
The property was built in
1927 by Edith Northman,
described in contemporary
accounts as “Los Angeles’ only
female architect.”
Currently listed among
Beverly
Hills’
Master
Architects, the City of West
Hollywood and the National
Register of Historic Places in
the North Harper Avenue
Historic District have prominently recognized Northman’s
contributions.
“The North Oakhurst
Residential Historic District is
significant as a notable concentration of Period Revival
style multi-family residences
from the 1930s,” said a report
from the Historic Resources
Group for the City of Beverly
Hills. “Various local architects
and builders contributed to the
district’s significance, making
the North Oakhurst Residential
Historic District a cohesive
representation
of
Period
Revival style multi-family residences.”
Through the release of
over 3,000 pages in a
California Public Records Act
Request, (PRA), it appears that
Los Angeles Planning officials
failed to disclose a similar

City Sets August 24 Date For
Parcels 12 & 13 Maintenance
Meeting At Library Auditorium
By Matt Lopez
As the fallout from a tree
cutting incident on toxic,
arsenic-laced soil on privatelyowned Parcels 12 & 13 in
Beverly Hills continues, the
City has announced a community meeting on Aug. 24.
The parcels are two strips
of land north of Civic Center
Drive, between the Beverly
Hills Civic Center and the border of West Hollywood. The
property has elevated levels of
arsenic.
The meeting comes on the
heels of the land owner,
Beverly Hills Land Company,
announcing maintenance work
as part of the company’s
covenant and agreement
regarding landscaping, fencing
and maintenance of vacant
properties in the City.
The work, which includes
trash and debris removal, irrigation repair, tree and bush
trimming and fence repairs, is
scheduled to take place
between Aug. 29 and Sept. 23.
This work, the City said in a
press release, has been
approved by the City in addition to the Department of Toxic
Substance Control (DTSC).
The community meeting,
which will include representatives from the City and DTSC,
is set for Aug. 24 at 7 p.m. in
the Beverly Hills Library

Planning Commission To Hold Special Meeting
On Final SEIR for Wanda Project
By Victoria Talbot
The City of Beverly Hills
will hold a public meeting on
the
final
Supplemental
Environmental Impact Report
(SEIR) for One Beverly Hills
(9900 Wilshire Boulevard) on
August 23 at 7 p.m. in Council
Chambers at City Hall.
The entire final SEIR will
be available to the public on
the City’s website by close of
business Friday, and a copy
will be available in the Beverly
Hills Public Library and at City
Hall in the Planning Department.
The
9900
Wilshire
Boulevard draft SEIR came
before
the
Planning
Commission on May 12 for
review. The City has taken into
consideration comments made
at that meeting to prepare the
final SEIR.
The meeting is the public’s
opportunity to comment on all
aspects of the project. The
Planning Commission will
consider those comments
when they make their findings.
After
the
Planning
Commission hears public comments and reviews all the doc-
uments, it will adopt a resolution recommending that the
City Council either approve or
reject the Specific Plan
Amendment, and certify the
final SEIR.
The Planning Commission
will also review the development agreement that stipulates
conditions the City has for the
project. If the development
agreement is ready, they will
either
recommend
the
approval of the agreement or
recommend changes.
One Beverly Hills consists
of modifications to the
approved
9900
Wilshire
Specific Plan, which was
approved and adopted in April
2008. The 9900 Wilshire
Specific Plan includes 235 residential units and 15,856
square feet of commercial
building area with 876 subterranean parking spaces in a
design by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Richard Meier.
The modifications, also by
Meier, includes 193 condominiums and a luxury hotel
with up to 134 rooms located
in one of two buildings
(“North” and “South” buildings).
The new project’s overall
square footage stays the same,
but in addition to the hotel
rooms, it will include 16,057
square feet of restaurants, bars
and lounges and 7,942 square
feet of ballrooms and meeting
rooms. That constitutes approximately five different restaurants, bars and eating establishments, said City Planner Andre
Sahakian.
The August 23 meeting is
the first public hearing with the
Planning Commission for recommendations
on
the
California
Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) findings, as
well as the requested entitlements.
The City Council is the
decision-making authority with
regard to legislative matters,
including
General
Plan
amendments, and the Planning
Commission is responsible for
making recommendations to
the City Council regarding land
use issues.
FARMERS MARKET – The Beverly
Hills Farmers Market partnered with the
Institute of Domestic Technology and
Farmers Market vendor Tenerelli
Orchards to teach the art of picking the
perfect peach and preserving this fruit.
Keeping with the times, as August is
stone fruit month, 20 local residents
went to John Tenerelli’s namesake
orchard in Littlerock, CA to learn more
about harvesting and preserving
peaches. Pictured, from left: Chef Herve

Two men believed to be attempting to burglarize a car
from the parking structure at
The Gores Group’s Wilshire
Boulevard building were
arrested last Thursday evening
by Beverly Hills Police.
According to Lt. Lincoln
Hoshino, the BHPD received a
call around 4:45 p.m. Thursday
about two men who appeared
to be trying to gain entry to a
white 2016 GMC Arcadia SUV
in the parking structure, eventually activating the vehicle’s
alarm.
Additional calls followed
soon after, notifying police that
the suspects were walking
away, northbound on Whittier
Drive.
BHPD officers hit the
scene within two minutes and
noticed the men discarding
stolen property into nearby
bushes.
The men, Rasheed Saleem
Kees, 34 of Los Angeles and
Christopher Richardson, 30 of
Los Angeles, were taken into
custody for auto burglary.
Further investigation revealed that the men had forced
entry into the car by jamming
the door locks open and also
gained entry to a 2016
Chrysler 300 parked nearby, by
partially forcing the windows
open.

Man Convicted Of Grizzly 2011 Murder In Beverly
Hills Apartment On North Hamilton Drive
A 59-year-old man was
convicted today of murdering
his girlfriend – who wrote his
initials in her own blood – in
her Beverly Hills apartment
nearly five years ago.
Jurors found James Duane
Grzeslo guilty of first-degree
murder for the Oct. 26, 2011
killing of Cathy Carrasco-Zanini, according to Deputy District Attorney Keri Modder.
The jury also found true an
allegation that Grzeslo used a
knife during the commission of
the crime.
While the 58-year-old
woman was dying, she crawled
down a hallway and wrote the
defendant's initials – JG – in
her own blood, the prosecutor
said.
Authorities were summoned to the woman's apartment in the 100 block of North
Hamilton Drive after Grzeslo
told a therapist that he was
having nightmares that he had
killed the woman, the prosecutor said.
Her throat had been slit.
The couple had been hav-
ing problems and were going
to therapy together, Modder
said.
“I think the evidence was
overwhelming,” the prosecutor
said of the case against Grzeslo.
Grzeslo – who acted as his
own attorney during the trial –
is facing 26 years to life in state
prison. He is set to be sentenced Sept. 19 at the Airport
Branch Courthouse in Los Angeles.

night to a sold-out crowd.
Originally started as a way
to get people to engage with
the Music Center in different
ways, the program has proved
to be an inspiration for artists
who can create new work in
spaces that are not traditionally
used for dance performances.
“For the audience, a lot of
it is about ways to break down
barriers,” explained Michael
Solomon, Associate VP of
Programming for the Music
Center. “There are no walls.
[The audience] can stand
where they want to stand,
experience how they want to
experience; in other words,
you can create your own expe-
rience.”
Over the course of the
evening program, the audience
moves around the campus to
view four different dance company performances in intimate
settings.

Awards” in 1979
in order to shine a
light on courageous individuals
working to protect
and
enhance
these rights for
Americans.
By Laura Coleman
The First Amendment to
the United States Constitution
has been essential to safeguarding
the
rights
of
Americans since the document
was ratified in 1791. Ensuring
that it is upheld remains a critical facet of the publishing
industry.
To that end, the Hugh M.
Hefner Foundation is currently
accepting nominations for the
2016 “Hugh M. Hefner First
Amendment Awards” through
Sept. 26.
Established in 1979 by
Christie
Hefner,
former
Chairman/CEO of Playboy
Enterprises Inc., the awards
honor individuals who have
made significant contributions
in the vital effort to protect and
enhance First Amendment
rights for all Americans.
“Defending
our
First
Amendment is one of the most
important contributions that
citizens can make,” said
Hefner, who continues to chair
the awards.
Past award winners have
been artists, authors, journalists, librarians, whistleblowers,
lawyers, and organizers. Last
year’s
winners
included:
revered
journalist
Victor
Navasky, who once helmed
The Nation; activist Malkia
Cyril, the executive director
with the Center for Media
Justice who drove the net neutrality movement; and Pulitzer
Prize–winning New York Times
correspondent James Risen,
who lived for seven years under
the threat of imprisonment for
vigorously defending journalists' First Amendment right to
protect their confidential
sources.
Among this year’s panel of
judges are: Erwin Chemerinsky,
founding dean and law professor at the University of
California, Irvine School of
Law; campaign and communications
strategist

The Playboy Mansion
Why The Playboy Mansion’s $110 Million
Sale Fell Apart
A deal providing for a billionaire’s
son to buy the Playboy Mansion in the
Holmby Hills section of Los Angeles for
around $110 million has unraveled, it
was reported last week
Under the deal, Playboy founder
Hugh Hefner, 90, would have had the
right to live out his life at the mansion,
even after the sale went through. But
the prospective buyer, 32-year-old
Daren Metropoulos, wanted significant
access to the property during Hefner’s
remaining years, and Playboy felt he
was being unreasonable, the celebrity
news website TMZ.com reported.
The parties haggled for weeks, and
the deal fell apart Thursday night,
according to TMZ.
The mansion is now expected to go
back on the market Monday.
There was no immediate comment
from either party involved in the negotiations.
Metropoulos, whose family owns
Hostess Brands foods, lives next door to
the mansion on a property he bought
from Hefner in 2009 for $18 million.
He was believed to have been planning
to merge the two properties once
Hefner’s tenancy ended.
Playboy Enterprises acquired the
20,000-square-foot mansion, which
was built in 1927, in 1971. Before the
reported $110 million figure was
agreed upon, the mansion had been
listed for $200 million.
for the city by SurveyLA that could have
significantly changed the response of
city officials in both jurisdictions, and
likely bolsters the CEQA lawsuit claim
that the city failed to properly evaluate
the property.
As the lead agency on the project,
the city of Los Angeles was expected to
head up a collaborative and transparent
process to resolve issues between the
two jurisdictions.
But the PRA reveals that Senior
Planner Luci Ibarra and Deputy Planner
Jae Kim failed to reveal the historic
assessment to the LA Central Area
Planning Commission Hearing, the LA
Planning and Land Use Management
Committee
Hearing,
LA
City
Councilman Paul Koretz’ office and the
City of Beverly Hills - though emails
show they were aware of LA’s assessment of a duo-jurisdictional potential
historic district as early as March 2014.
Ibarra was notified by the project
applicant’s agent, Matthew Hayden,
who discovered the existence of the
potential historic district because Ibarra
directed him to the Office of Historic
Resources (OHR) and Deputy Manager
Janet Hansen.
The City of Beverly Hills requested
the historic assessment documents from
LA so they could have an opportunity to
compare it to the City’s own historic survey and review and comment on them,
as Beverly Hills prepared its historic
assessment.
On March 17, 2014, Gohlich wrote
Ibarra, “Thank you for confirming that
no action will be taken on the project
until a historic assessment is prepared
for the properties. Please keep me posted if anything else comes up in the
meantime.”
On the same date, Matthew Hayden
and Luci Ibarra were cc’d on an email
from OHR’s Janet Hansen that read:
“Just as FYI the consultant is recording
those addresses on Oakhurst as part of a
potential historic district which is that
block. . .”
A series of emails in which Ibarra,
Beverly Hills Planner Shena Rojemann –
who replaced Gohlich on the project
following his promotion – and Hayden
discuss the potential historic district
throughout May and into June 2014. The
prolonged requests for documents
resulted in an email from Gohlich on
June 14, 2014, to Ibarra that states,
“Although it is articulated in Shena’s
[Rojemann] letter, I wanted to be clear
that the City of Beverly Hills is requesting that an EIR be prepared. . . simply
adding a copy of our letter to the file
will not achieve compliance with
CEQA. At your earliest convenience,
please confirm that the city of Los
Angeles intends to prepare an EIR as
required by CEQA.”
Several emails passed between the
cities through Aug. 2014 without resolving the issue. The city of Los Angeles
had completed its historic assessment
on Jan. 26, 2015, but did not share it
with the City of Beverly Hills.
Emails from the PRA indicate that
there was no communication between
the cities for months prior to the
issuance by the city of LA of the Letter of
Determination on Feb. 2, 2015. Then,
the City of Beverly Hills was informed
that the project had been taken off hold
and was moving forward, and no EIR
had been prepared to address the historic issues.
The city of Los Angeles historic survey reads:
“The Oakhurst Drive Multi-Family
Residential Historic District is a small
multi-family historic district along the
east side of North Oakhurst Drive at the
boundary between Beverly Hills and
Los Angeles,” reads the report. The district, “is significant as an excellent
example of a 1930s multi-family residential neighborhood. . . and as an
excellent concentration of Period
Revival architecture. . . Residences
within the district retain their original
plans, massing, scale and characterdefining features from the Spanish
Colonial Revival or Minimal Traditional
style. Of the Oakhurst Drive MultiFamily Residential District’s nine houses, 100-percent contribute to its significance.”
The Los Angeles and Beverly Hills
historic assessments concur, but that
fact has only come to light as a result of
a PRA by Concerned Citizens of Beverly
Hills/Beverly Grove.
A response to the opening brief by
the developer is due by the end of the
month.

BEVERLY HILLS
Another Phobia From Roger Lefkon
FEAR OF WAITING TO SEE THE DOCTOR When I was a kid and needed to see a physician the process
was relatively simple. My parents would place a call to the family
doctor and he would arrive at our home, usually the same day, attend a briefing session presided over by my mother, deliver the secret knock on my door, perform his magic and be on his way. It
didn’t matter what my ailment was--measles, mumps, influenza, a
broken bone, pink eye or an overactive libido--the treatment was
always the same, a shot of penicillin followed by bed rest and a
couple of missed school days.
In today’s world making an appointment to see a doctor can
be a challenging and anxiety filled experience. I recently called
my internist to arrange an office visit and was told the earliest
availability would be about a month. My response was that there
was a good chance I might succumb if left unattended, the office
reply was that the doctor would soon be going out of the country
for a “working vacation” and was already double booked from
sign on to sign off. I explained the graveness of my situation and
was told “everyone is sick, it’s the flu season.” How long will he
be gone I inquired? The response was: “we don’t know, it’s entirely dependent on the exchange rate!” I politely but firmly reminded the office manager that I was one of the doctor’s oldest patients
and would share my Viagra with him if that would help break the
log jam. It worked and an office visit was set for the next day. No
doubt about it, those little blue pills are the stuff legends are made
of.
I grabbed the first appointment of the day knowing that’s
when the waiting room is least contaminated and the patients
have not yet started to cough, wheeze and sneeze expelling
viruses into the air and infiltrating my already compromised immune system. I looked around and was struck by the fact that the
room--at 8 a.m.-- was already fully occupied by young men 5’9”
or taller, between 19-35 years of age, each with a photo of themselves as a child affixed to their shirt prominently displaying their
physical characteristics. One in particular had an aristocratic
nose, thoughtful brown eyes, long fingers and a winning smile.
He resembled Itzhak Perlman and, yes, he could also play the violin. It was then I realized that I had inadvertently wandered into
a sperm donor center. I regrouped and headed across the hall.
In more familiar surroundings I approached the front desk
and signed in using my own germ free disposable pen and discovered I was the fifth person with a 9 a.m. appointment, When no
one was watching I did the unthinkable–placed my name ahead
of the other four. The sign reading “please refrain from using your
cell phone” was being largely ignored by everyone including a
little old lady sitting by herself in the corner of the room, earbuds
in place, lip syncing to Adele. Some were texting friends others
goggling to learn more about their various illnesses and everyone
was watching the clock anxiously waiting their turn to make the
leap from the waiting room to the examination room just like the
contestants sprinting from their seats to the stage on The Price Is
Right.
As I scan the room I can’t help but notice the walls are a
familiar shade of green, almost identical to the paint job in the
San Quentin gas chamber but with a privacy notice. I also cannot
help but observe those who have been fasting since midnight, in
preparation for a blood test, eying the exotic fish in the aquarium.
Another distraction is the flickering overheard light. I report it to
the office staff, they in turn report it to the building management
office who in turn refers it to the manufacturer located on the outskirts of Hong Kong in a factory that used to make fortune cookies. When I return for a follow up visit six months later, the bulb
is still flickering but the office manager has been replaced.
Recognizing that the patient holding pen can be a dangerous
place to congregate, I always try to keep at least two chairs between myself and other sick people to reduce the chances picking up their bug. If this form of musical chairs doesn’t work then
I wait in the hall welcoming pharmaceutical reps, many of whom
are former cheerleaders, dispensing free samples. Waiting rooms
also have a well earned reputation for accumulating old magazines that people who are under the weather have handled and
in doing so transferred their germs to a varied collection of publications that includes Kid’s Health, Men’s Health, Woman’s
Health and Dog’s Health and the magazine that gets pilfered the
most, Belly Fat Illustrated. Copies of Playboy, Penthouse and Hustler are generally kept in a locked display case along with other
in demand products for sale.
There may, however, be some upside in all of this. Virtual
consultants, where you can connect with a doctor using a smartphone, tablet or computer is gaining traction as are concierge
M.D.’s who provide immediate access around the clock and
whose services may even include house calls and, because they
have concierge credentials, these folks are also able to secure
sports and theatre tickets for you and make hard to get restaurant
reservations.
Here is a parting thought. When you glance around the
waiting room and the plants look like they are on life support
then this may not be the place for you!

Hollywood Foreign Press Association Helps CHLA Heal Patients Through The Arts
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) is continuing its support of
Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA)
with its second $25,000 grant to drive
collaboration between the entertainment
community and the hospital’s Mark
Taper-Johnny Mercer Artists Program.
Led by certified expressive arts therapists
and partners in the community, the Artists
Program uses music, dance, drama and
the expressive arts to address the unique
physical and emotional challenges faced
by hospitalized infants, children, teens
and young adults. The grant brings the
HFPA’s total commitment to the Artists
Program to $50,000.
In partnership with the hospital’s
Hollywood Cares for Kids program, the
Artists Program will use the grant to integrate entertainment industry professionals into the program, drawing on their talents to help patients through their medical journey. For example:
• Professional animators can teach
young patients about communicating
through the world of cartoons;
• Filmmakers can introduce young
people to the power of narrative storytelling;
• Writers and composers can help
patients find their inner voice through
one-on-one song writing sessions with
their music therapist; and
• Musical artists can provide private
music performances and engage in art
and music workshops.
“CHLA is committed to treating the
whole child, recognizing the critical
role that a child’s spirit plays in the
course of healing,” said Alex Field,
manager, Mark Taper-Johnny Mercer
Artists Program. “Through drama,
music, dance, and the visual and
expressive arts, we help children
find ways to convey their emotions,
ask questions they have not found
the words to ask and feel a bit more
in control of their lives. Young people can also discover a new talent,
develop a new interest, or enjoy a
form of art they have never experienced before, creating a budding
life-long appreciation of the arts.”
CHLA was one of several nonprofits that benefited from the nearly
$2.4 million dollars gifted by the
HFPA, the organization known for
hosting the Golden Globe Awards.
“The Hollywood Foreign Press
Association unreservedly gives this
grant to the Children’s Hospital Los
Angeles to help nurture the relationship they have with the entertainment industry,” said HFPA President
Lorenzo Soria. “The result of two
industries coming together for one
cause is powerful, moving and
inspiring.
“The entertainment community
has the capacity in many unique
ways to positively impact the children we serve,” said Lyndsay
Hutchison, director, Hollywood
Cares for Kids program. “Whether

Stars professional ballroom dancer Val Chmerkovskiy

the child is an aspiring artist or just facing a tough road ahead, having the
chance to work with an industry professional brings a level of encouragement and renewed excitement. From
writers to animators to musicians and
actors, the entertainment community
offers a wide array of expertise in their
respective fields, providing a tremendous asset in helping children find
their voice.”
Research has shown, Hutchison
says, that heart rates slow, blood pressure decreases, and the perception of
pain declines when patients pick up a
musical instrument, sing a song or see
a live performance. In the hospital’s
Newborn and Infant Critical Care Unit,
staff members have reported the slowing of heart and pulse rates in premature infants upon the first musical note
they hear, and mothers have found a
way to bond with babies they cannot
yet hold by simply singing to them.
In the last fiscal year, the Artists
Program impacted the lives of more
than 33,000 patients and family members. The program runs year-round,
seven days per week, and can be
found in individual patient rooms,
group play areas and lounges, lobbies
and even hallways of every floor.
Members of the entertainment
industry can learn more about the
artist program by emailing Hutchison
at [email protected] or calling
323-361-4121.

Cancer Survivors, Patients Pick Up Paintbrushes
For Artworks Event At Cedars-Sinai
More than 25 Cedars-Sinai
cancer patients and survivors,
their families, as well as a physician, nurses, dietitians and volunteers took part in PaintFest last
week, a 50-state project sponsored by the nonprofit Foundation for Hospital Art.
Participants painted about
24 panels, to be assembled into
four murals that will be donated
to Cedars-Sinai.
The pieces will remain at
the medical center, home to a
100 percent-donated art collection that includes works by
artists ranging from Judy
Chicago and David Hockney to
Robert Rauscheberg and Roy
Lichtenstein.
Two patients also painted a
panel for the “Stars of Hope”
mural. Depicting the California
state flower (poppy) and bird
(valley quail)—the panel will be
sent to New York City join those
from the other 49 states to be
assembled into a mural representing the whole country. The
mural will be displayed in New
York City on Aug. 23.
“This project is uplifting for
all of us,” said clinical dietitian
Diana Torres, MPH, RD, a
board-certified specialist in
oncology, Supportive Care
Services at the Samuel Oschin
Comprehensive Cancer Institute, at Cedars-Sinai. “It’s fun and
it’s lasting.”
The Foundation for Hospital
Art, in partnership with CedarsSinai, provided materials for all
participants. The foundation
helps people use art to express
their feelings about illness and
healing. More than 1 million
volunteers, including patients,
families and medical professionals have participated in events.
The foundation has donated

CLASSICS IN THE COURTYARD–Romantic comedy and live-theater fans are invited to
experience a reading of Christopher Fry’s 1946 play, “A Phoenix Too Frequent,” at the
Greystone Mansion and Gardens on Sunday, August 14. Performed by Beverly Hills’

after her husband’s death, until his tomb guardsman convinces the widow to live again.
The reading will be from 6-7pm, but attendees are invited to arrive at 5pm for self-guided
tours of the Mansion. Tickets are $15 for general admission and $12 for students and
seniors. As a part of the Classics in the Courtyard showcase, the reading will take place
in Greystone Mansion’s courtyard.
ZIKA VIRUS
don’t think the virus presents any longlasting effects...on a woman looking to
conceive [years] in the future,” he said.
Despite the fact that these type of
mosquitoes are not found in Beverly
Hills, Pamela Mottice Muller of the
Beverly Hills Office of Emergency
Management warned Californians
should be aware of other types of mosquitoes found in the area this summer,
as these insects could carry other serious diseases.
“We need to be cautious about
areas that breed mosquitoes,” Mottice
Muller said. “We’re taking the approach
[that] it’s protection from all mosquitoes.”
Keeping residents safe from mosquito-transmitted illness comes down to
“education, prevention and protection,”
she added.
Zika Facts
• Incubation period: about 1 week
• 20 percent of adults who do show
symptoms usually only have a mild
fever, rash, conjunctivitis, and/or joint
pain. Body rids itself of virus in about a
week
• The disease is thought to cause
severe brain defects in fetuses.
• Legitimate risk if mother is infected, fetus could develop brain defects
(including microcephaly) in utero
• 1,825 cases in the U.S., including
87 cases in California, 491 in New York,
and 322 in Florida
How is Zika transmitted?
• International travel has been the
catalyst for spreading this disease
• Locally, Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes are found in the San Gabriel Valley
and eastern LA County
• Humans who carry the disease
can spread it to other people in semen
or blood; 16 cases of sexually transmitted Zika has been reported in San Diego
County and Texas
How to prevent Zika
• Use EPA-approved insect repellent, wear long sleeves and pants, and
stay in a room equipped with a bugscreen if possible
• Pregnant women should be especially cautious

the selection of seven finalists
for High Five Art, the museum’s
second annual public art contest.
In accordance with this
year’s
theme,
“California
Continued,” entries consist of
original works of art that comment on the interconnection
and collaboration of Californians with the natural environment.
The contest complements
the Autry’s October opening of
“California Continued,” a nearly
20,000-square-foot exhibition
spanning two new galleries and
an outdoor ethnobotanical garden.
In April, the Autry invited
artists to submit original designs
for a large banner to be installed
on the back wall of the museum,
a location visible from the 5
Freeway and the L.A River.
A committee evaluated the
submissions and selected seven
finalists based on artistic merit,
connection to the theme, originality, and ability to effectively
translate onto a large banner format.
The seven nominees include: Heritage by Arturo Martinez, Nomad, Neighbor by
Cailtlin Anne, The Poetry of the
Earth by Daria Nakelska, Reclaimed by Jackie Baxton, Speed
X Distance X Time by Robert
Minervini, The Gift, by Susanna
Negrete and Upstream by Sylvie
van Helden.
Public voting to select a
contest winner will be open
until, Friday, Sept. 9.
All seven designs may be
viewed inside the Autry and at
TheAutry.org/HighFiveArt. One
vote per valid e-mail address
will be accepted. The onsite and
online votes will be combined
and the design with the most
votes will be declared the winner. The winner will be announced in October and celebrated with an outdoor party on
Thursday, Oct. 13.
The large banner featuring
the winning design will be displayed on the Autry's building
and on a projection in the museum lobby for a period of one
year, with the possibility of
extension.
The winning artist will
receive a prize of $2,500. Two
runner-ups will each receive
$500.

DANCE SCHOOL
philanthropist who reinvigorated dance
at the L.A. Music Center in 2003 following a $20 million donation.
Inspired by her belief that dance
brings joy to the world, Kaufman is
doing everything in her power to help
engender a love of dance as well as foster the growth and engagement of those
who choose to pursue the craft.
This October, in time to welcome
its second class of carefully selected
students, USC Kaufman will unveil its
permanent home, the new USC Glorya
Kaufman International Dance Center.
Designed by Pfeiffer Partners
Architects following myriad brainstorming sessions together with Kaufman,
Dean Robert Cutietta and Vice Dean
and Director Jodie Gates, a former
prima ballerina with Joffrey Ballet, the
54,000 square foot physical representation of USC Kaufman will be home to
the cutting-edge program starting Oct.
5.
“There’s a lot of me in there,” the
eponymous patron remarked.
The hallmark of USC Kaufman,
which offers a professional dance
degree built around a diverse, flexible,
globally-minded curriculum, is perhaps
best expressed in its motto “The New
Movement”.
In addition to preparing students for
the large umbrella of human movement
where intersecting techniques, traditions and styles create new forms to be
expressed in dance within the landscape of a technology-driven world, the
curriculum also teaches students the
business side of operations, critical in
making sure graduates can get a job in
the industry.
Now in its second year, Kaufman
said the program had 400 students audition for its first class of 33 students; this
year, 350 auditioned for 18 spaces.
THE PENINSULA
the ceremonial ribbon with dignitaries
that included councilmembers Lili
Bosse and Julian Gold, as well as Vicki
Reynolds, who was mayor when the
Peninsula opened its doors 25 years
ago.
“This moment recalls a very special
time in the life of this city,” Reynolds
said. “We could not have envisioned
what this hotel would mean to this community.”
“You’ve made it happen,” Reynolds
added, pointing to the staff. “And we
were the beneficiaries.”
Other dignitaries at Monday’s ceremony included Police Chief Sandra
Spagnoli, Fire Chief Ralph Mundell and
City Manager Mahdi Aluzri.
After the ribbon cutting, Peninsula
staff enjoyed breakfast in the Verandah.
Employees cheered as several of their
colleagues were honored for working at
the Peninsula for all 25 years of its existence.
“It’s about a culture of respect, we
are all very supportive of each other,”
Nissenbaum told the Courier in an interview Monday after the staff breakfast.
“There’s no politics, no grandstanding.
Everyone is down to earth and humble,
they truly care about each other and
about our guests.”
“Because it’s a conservatory, we
want to really concentrate on the kids,”
she said. “When these kids get out,
they’ll have a place to go.” Kaufman
said.
Housed within an Italian Collegiate
Gothic exterior, the 70-foot tall new
building is the largest dance-dedicated
complex on a private university campus, according to Jeffrey de Caen, associate dean of Operations.
State-of-the-art floors and subfloors,
made of Harlequin sprung marley,
cushion the dancers’ movements and
provide sure footing for the many styles
of dance explored in the space. These
floors are specially isolated so sound
and vibrations from music and dancers’
movements will not be heard from other
nearby rooms; the studios are built so
that their concrete floors do not touch
the sidewalls or the slab foundation.
“We believe that a lifelong career in
dance can begin here, and to that end
we are creating a visionary school that
will be at the forefront of developing
dancers, choreographers and dance
leaders for the future,” Cutietta said.
Students will have endless tools to
experiment with different settings and
engage in dialogue with other performing arts disciplines both on and off campus. Thanks to a unique partnership
with Glorya Kaufman Presents Dance at
The Music Center, each visiting dance
company works with Kaufman students
in master classes covering professional
development and artistic performance.
Kaufman, who still recalls fondly
how dance had the power to lift her
beyond her shy childhood demeanor,
said she is motivated to create dance
opportunities in order to bring happiness to others.
“Dance really uplifted me,” she
said. “I think life is really hard...dance is
a happy thing; you forget about problems.”
The Peninsula Beverly Hills has
been a Forbes Five Star Award and AAA
Five Diamond Award winner for 22
years in a row, and that personal touch
is among the many reasons why.
“It’s got to be about more than just
collecting a paycheck,” Nissenbaum
said. “Our employees, they really love
the hotel and they have a passion for it.
They love the people who stay here.”
With the renovated and recently reopened The Belvedere, and tasty food
from Executive Chef David Codney, The
Peninsula appears to be well-situated to
charge forward toward another 25 years
of success.
Nissenbuam said the Peninsula has
an innovation committee that meets
regularly to discuss ways the hotel can
stay on the cutting edge.
Among the innovative ideas The
Peninsula touts are no check-in or
check-out time, monogrammed initials
on each guest’s pillows and hotel
employees who will meet incoming
guests at the airport to make their arrival
as stress-free as possible.
“We’re actually going to be redoing the guest rooms again next year,”
Nissenbaum said. “The key is to really
never rest on your laurels. We are constantly looking for ways to push forward
and to increase the experience for our
guests.”

The Planning Commission of the City of Beverly Hills, at a SPECIAL meeting on
Tuesday, August 23, 2016, will hold a public hearing beginning at 7:00 PM to consider a request for a Specific Plan Amendment, Amendments to a Vesting Tentative
Tract Map and Development Plan Review, and Development Agreement for the
property located at 9900 Wilshire Boulevard (One Beverly Hills).
Specific Plan Amendment. The 9900 Wilshire Specific Plan was previously approved in 2008 and included 235 residential condominiums and
approximately 15,856 square feet of retail and restaurant uses. The proposed project consists of revisions that would allow up to 193 residential
condominiums and an up to 134 room luxury hotel with ancillary facilities, ballroom/meeting rooms, and restaurant/bar uses. The proposed
project also includes a new motor court access along Santa Monica
Boulevard. To allow these changes in use, amendments are required to
the 9900 Wilshire Specific Plan.
Vesting Tentative Tract Map and Development Plan Review. The
previously approved project included approval of Vesting Tentative
Tract Map No. 67884 and Development Plan Review to subdivide the air
rights to permit the individual sales of a maximum of 235 residential
condominium units. The applicant is requesting amendments to Vesting
Tentative Tract Map No. 67884 to reflect the revised site plan and revise
the maximum number of residential condominiums to 193 units. All
common interest developments also require approval of a Development
Plan Review.
Development Agreement. The previously approved project included
adoption of a Development Agreement. Revisions are being proposed to
the Development Agreement in conjunction with the proposed project,
and the Planning Commission may discuss and provide recommendations on the terms of the proposed revisions to the Development
Agreement, as well as determine whether the Development Agreement is
consistent with the City’s General Plan.
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 City of
Beverly Hills has prepared a Final Supplemental Environmental Impact

with development of the project. Specifically, the Final SEIR analyzes the following potential environmental effects of the project:
• Greenhouse Gas Emissions
• Air Quality
• Land Use Planning
• Noise
• Transportation/Traffic
• Mandatory Findings of Significance
• Utilities and Service Systems
The Planning Commission will consider the Final SEIR, and may adopt a resolution recommending its certification to the City Council.
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 Andre

Beverly Hills Brothers Excel At Water Polo Junior
Olympics Last Weekend At Stanford University
By Kitty Luo
A pair of Beverly Hills
brothers led their teams to victory last weekend at the USA
Water Polo Junior Olympics in
Stanford.
Goalkeeper and Team
Captain Nolan Krutonog, 14,
and his teammates at the LA
Premier Water Polo Club
earned gold medals for their
USA Water Polo Junior
Olympics victory. Nolan’s
brother, Sam Krutonog, 16,
also a goalie, led his LA
Premier Club team to the 18 &
Under Bronze Medal win.
Heading into their freshman (Nolan) and junior (Sam)
years, the Krutonog brothers
now attend Harvard-Westlake.
Nolan played for the USA
Olympic Development Travel
Team, and Sam played on the
Men’s Youth National Team,
both of which won championships.
In late August, Sam will
travel to Montenegro with his
team to compete in the FINA
World Junior Water Polo
Championships. In addition to
leading his club team to win
the
High
School
State
Championships and Ironman
Superfinals, Sam also spent the
summer training with the
Men’s Olympic team.
“I learned so much training
with the Olympic team this
summer. The men’s Olympic
coach, Dejan Udovicic, who
lives in Beverly Hills, about
two blocks from us, which is
just a funny coincidence,
taught me so much,” Sam said.
“The Olympic goalies, Merrill
Moses and McQuinn Baron,
challenged me and took me
under their wings. Our high
school coach, Brian Flacks, is
the best in the country.”
After losing a game in the
Junior Olympics quarterfinals,
Nolan’s team faced the task of
winning three consecutive
games in order to make the
semi-finals.
“We had a tough time
coming together as a team at
first. We had a lot of new guys.
But
our
coach,
Giorgi
Kartvelishvili is tough,” said
Nolan. “We fought hard and
did it. Coach Giorgi didn’t let
us give up.”
The team won the semifinals in a dramatic shoot out,
in which Nolan was able to
block two five-meter shots in a
row, against the same team that
won in the quarterfinals.
“It was a nail-biter. After
that, the gold medal game was
the most fun I ever had playing
polo. I got the crowd going
from the pool. The stands were
packed, the announcers were
great, and it was so amazing to
see my older brother out there
getting the fans to go wild. I
still can’t believe we won,”
Nolan said.
His older brother also
expressed pride at seeing
Nolan and his team triumph.
“I am so proud of Nolan.
He’s such an amazing force
and he has his own style. That
was one of my happiest days in
a long time,” Sam said.
L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti Calls Los Angeles ‘Safest
Bet’ As The Site For 2024 Olympic Games
Mayor Eric Garcetti touted
Los Angeles today as the safest
bet for organizers of the 2024
Olympic Games to make in
choosing a location, with many
of the sports venues needed for
hosting the event already built
in the city.
Los Angeles is competing
against Paris, Rome and
Budapest for the opportunity to
host the 2024 Summer
Olympics and Paralympic
Games.
The city has been getting
ready "since the Olympic flame
was extinguished at the closing
ceremony of the 1984 L.A.
Games," which were held in
Los Angeles, according to
Garcetti.
"Our Olympic infrastructure is already in the ground,
not on the drawing boards, " he
said. "We are virtually risk-free
because we only have to build
one venue to host the Games."
Garcetti is part of a delegation of Los Angeles 2024 bid
committee members who have
been in Rio de Janeiro for the
past week to observe this summer's Olympic Games and
meet with sports officials in
Brazil.
The pitch, delivered at a
news conference in Rio, was
geared toward the perception
that past Olympic host cities
have had to scramble to build
new venues at great cost, just
to host the massive sports
undertaking.
Garcetti threw out another
practical reason for the
International
Olympics
Committee to host the event in
2024, noting that Los Angeles'
ties to the entertainment industry ought to help the IOC better
reach out to a younger audience, a group that's needed to
carry on the Olympics tradition.
"Our entertainment and
technology companies speak
to young people every day on
their own terms and by their
own means," he said. "With
L.A.'s ability to imagine and
engage the world with new
content and with new technologies, I believe L.A. is ideally suited to host the 2024
Olympic and Paralympic
Games and inspire the next
generation."
and Niky’s Sports will set up a
booth to sell soccer gear and
give away prizes to the kids
participating in the event.
Mendocino Farms will also
set up a booth, providing fun
games and giveaways.

L.A. To Apply For $22 Million In
Grants For New Soccer Stadium
The Los Angeles City
Council agreed last week to
apply for a $22.5 million federal loan to help fund a sports
museum, conference rooms
and other facilities next to the
Los Angeles Football Club's
22,000-seat soccer stadium in
Exposition Park.
City officials say these
facilities, which are part of the
plans for the $250 million stadium project, face a funding
gap that can be bridged with a
loan from the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban
Development.
With the council's unanimously vote, the Economic
and Workforce Development
Department will be able to
move forward on seeking a
loan under HUD's Section 108
program.
Los Angeles Football Club
was announced in 2014 as a
replacement for the disbanded
Chivas USA soccer club, which
played for 10 years at StubHub
Center in Carson, sharing the
facility with the Los Angeles
Galaxy. The new MLS team is
expected to begin play in 2018
at the new stadium. The demolition of the Sports Arena was
set for this summer.
READY, SET, GOLD! – Olympic swimming champion John Naber has
been named chairman of the Ready, Set, Gold! program. The first and
only of its kind in the country – Ready, Set, Gold! combats the epidemic problem of childhood obesity by matching 50 Olympic and
Paralympic athletes with Los Angeles area public schools to promote
student fitness. Ready, Set, Gold! is a program of the Southern

She’s back!! The last time she visited
Palm Springs was nearly two years ago
and she was a smash hit, beguiling natives
and tourists with her 26-foot-tall stature
made of more than 16 tons of steel and
aluminum depicting the iconic subway
grate scene from The Seven Year Itch.
The returning “guest” is Marilyn
Monroe in the guise of the bigger than
life-size sculpture officially titled “Forever
Marilyn.” She spent nearly two years overlooking one corner of a downtown Palm
Springs intersection as part of a loan
agreement between the Sculpture
Foundation, owner of the piece, and PS
Resorts, a non-profit organization whose
mission is to promote tourism in Palm
Springs and which is negotiating for
“Forever Marilyn” permanent acquisition.
Downtown Palm Springs is undergoing a major transformation and there may
not be a permanent place to house the
massive work of art when it is scheduled
to arrive in the Desert sometime in
September. The plan has been for “Forever
Marilyn” to be permanently placed in a
new downtown park; however, the park
may not be ready for another year or
more.
Marilyn will soon be here on her way
from New Jersey. The choice now is to put
the statute in storage or accept the offer
made by the Agua Caliente Band of
Cahuilla Indians to provide an expense
free, temporary two-year location, for
Marilyn in front of the new entrance to
the Spa Casino, which they own, in the
heart of downtown Palm Springs.
But whichever way the decision goes,
a newly refurbished “Forever Marilyn”
will be turning heads for years to come.
******
It may or not be an “until hell freezes
over” event, but it’s close: an outdoor ice
skating is coming to the Rancho Mirage.
In fact, it is the Desert’s first outdoor skating rink that will be open for more than a
one-day event.
In keeping with its name, The River at
Rancho Mirage has always been a popular dining location highlighted by water
features running through it. From Nov. 22
through Jan 8 some of those water features will be converted into an ice skating
rink to be enjoyed.
You don’t have ice skates in your closets at home? Not to worry, there will be a
skate rental shop and other seasonal
retailers at The Rink.
Skating at The Rink at the River will
be available daily – night and day – during the approximately six weeks that skating is available. Live bands and DJs will
provide music at night.
It may not be Rockefeller Center, but
it is a nice way to enhance the feeling of
the season.

non-partisan commission that
has primary responsibility for
the
impartial
and
effective administration of the
Political Reform Act. The Act
regulates campaign financing,
conflicts of interest, lobbying,
and governmental ethics.
The Commission’s objectives
are to ensure that public officials act in a fair and unbiased
manner in the governmental
decision-making process, to
promote transparency in government, and to foster public
trust in the political system. In this case, the regulation
that Wiener referred to concerned sections of the code
pertaining to conflict of interest.
Wiener maintains that the
Hillside Ordinance comes
under the Materiality Standard
in Section 18702.2, and real
property under section 18703
because less than 25 percent of
City residents live in the
Hillside Zone.
The Hillside Zone includes
the
area
above
Sunset
Boulevard bordered on the
west by Hartford and Benedict
Canyon Road and on the east
by Doheny Drive. It comprises
approximately 1,000 residences and abuts Trousdale
Estates, which has about 500
residences and is a separate
zone. The City of Beverly Hills
has roughly 10,000 – 12,000
homes.
Bosse and Krasne met for
several hours with City
Manager Mahdi Aluzri and
Deputy City Manager George
Chavez Wednesday.
On Thursday, Wiener
announced a bifurcated solution to allow the councilmembers limited participation in the
discussion and subsequent
vote.
Three elements are being
proposed in the ordinance. For
each element, there is also a
“grandfathering” component to
establish a cut off condition for
permitting under the old rules.
Wiener will separate the
provisions and ask Bosse and
Krasne to recuse themselves on
two of them.
Wiener said that the two
councilmembers
will
be
expected to leave the room and
HILLSIDE ORDINANCE
truck is on the road.
Level Pad Area/Terracing:
A level pad area must contain a level square-shaped area
with minimum dimensions of
20 feet per side for the level
pad to be used to calculate the
maximum permitted cumulative floor area of buildings and
structures in the Hillside Area.
The current BHMC standards
do not include a minimum
level pad size to qualify for use
in maximum floor area calculations.
This is to discourage the
creation of terraces such as the
ones at 1201 Laurel Way,
which artificially increased the
buildable level pad.
Development Off the Level
Pad:
The maximum cumulative
floor area of the portion of any
buildings and structures located off the existing level pad of
any lot in the Hillside Area of
the City shall be 1,000 square
feet, unless a Hillside R-1 permit is issued. “Existing level
pad” means the level pad in
existence on the date the
Ordinance takes effect.
The proposed ordinance is
widely embraced by many residents who have expressed
their support. Some developers
and realtors have organized to
oppose it, making presentations at real estate offices and
sending letters to hillside residents.
that are narrower than 24
feet. This reduces the significant impact on streets that cannot easily accommodate a second vehicle when a haul truck
is on the road.
No more than 2,000 cubic
yards of earth material may be
imported or exported from a
site in the Hillside Area that is
immediately adjacent to a
street that is less than 24 feet
wide, unless a Hillside R-1 permit is issued. The current limit
of export/import before an R-1
permit is required is 3,000
cubic yards per 5-year period.
The Council may decide
whether it should be 1,500,
which aligns with Bel-Air’s
Hillside Ordinance.
The City has identified 14
streets that are narrower than
24 feet. This reduces the significant impact on streets that
cannot easily accommodate a
second vehicle when a haul
stand by in an area where they
can view the proceedings on a
television monitor.
Wiener recommends they
should recuse themselves on
the level pad/terracing and
development of a level pad. He
claims that both items could
potentially affect their real
property, though he has not
reviewed the topography of
their homes.
The remaining councilmembers will take testimony
and deliberate on the two
items, and determine cutoff
conditions for the new ordinance.
If either councilmember
wishes to address the items as a
private citizen, they could
enter the Chambers and speak;
then leave.
When those two items are
decided, the final item,
import/export of earth, will be
determined. The ordinance
applies to streets narrower than
24 feet wide, and both Bosse
and Krasne are on wider
streets. Thus they will be invited back to the Chambers to
deliberate.
Several attorneys have told
the Courier that the standard of
conduct that would cause them
to be recused is financial gain,
and that the ordinance could
“change the development
potential of the parcel of real
property” (18702.2).
Prominent Los Angeles law
firm Latham and Watkins told
the Courier that the only
grounds for recusal is material
financial gain.
There is no evidence that
either Krasne or Bosse has ever
acted out of personal financial
gain throughout their political
careers, both having served on
the planning commission as
well as the council
Said Wiener: “This is an
interpretation of state law. We
have asked the State for confirmation of our interpretation
and we are waiting for that
result. We interpret two parts
of this ordinance as having a
material financial effect on
council members who live in
the hillside area because these
two parts could affect the
development potential of their
properties. This is a material
financial effect under Fair
Political Practices Commission
rule 18702.2. These parts are:
Level Pad Area/Terracing:
A level pad area must contain a level square-shaped area
with minimum dimensions of
20 feet per side for the level
pad to be used to calculate the
maximum permitted cumulative floor area of buildings and
structures in the Hillside Area.
The current BHMC standards
do not include a minimum
level pad size to qualify for use
in maximum floor area calculations.
This is to discourage the
creation of terraces such as the
ones at 1201 Laurel Way, created to increase the size of the
level pad.
Development Off the Level
Pad:
The maximum cumulative
floor area of the portion of any
buildings and structures locat-
BEVERLY HILLS
(1) the regulation of terracing to
restrict floor area and (2) the
requirement for a hillside permit to develop more than 1000
square feet off the pad.
“Unfortunately,
these
council members cannot be
saved by the exception that the
council members will be
effected in the same way as the
public generally. Under Fair
Political Practices Commission
rule 18703, that exception
applies when more than 25
percent of the dwelling units in
the city are affected and the
council member will not be
affected in any special way.
The total number of residential
dwelling units in the hillside
area is less than 10 percent of
the City.
“But, we believe that there
is one aspect of this ordinance
that the Council members can
participate in. It requires a hillside permit for the import or
export of more than 2000
cubic yards of dirt on streets of
less than 24 feet in width. Since
no council members live on
streets of less than 24 feet in
width we believe that all council members can participate in
the consideration of this regulation pursuant to Fair Political
Practices Commission rule
18706. But, again, we have
asked the State for confirmation of this opinion.”
Sources say that there has
been an abrupt spike in applications for building permits
with expedited terms dated
June 1, the original cut-off.
One such application for
two homes on Loma Linda is
the Aquilini project, named for
the Canadian billionaire owner
of the NHL’s Vancouver
Canucks developing the project.
Originally proposed as a
single home that the Planning
Commission did not approve,
the project split into two properties with the current by-right
excavation of 3,000 cubic
yards on each property.
Additional earth would be
excavated and used for fill.
Plans at the City show several
terraces and development off
the level pad representing a
substantial part of the structure.
There has also been illegal
work conducted on the property which has galvanized the
neighborhood in opposition.
ed off the existing level pad of
any lot in the Hillside Area of
the City shall be 1,000 square
feet, unless a Hillside R-1 permit is issued. “Existing level
pad” means the level pad in
existence on the date the
Ordinance takes effect.
The proposed ordinance is
widely-embraced by many residents who have expressed
their support and begged the
council for new regulations to
curb megamansion development and the impact on neighborhoods.
Those with a financial
stake in development have
organized to oppose it, making
presentations at real estate
offices and sending letters to
hillside residents.

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

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

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

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

Chairman 2014 Paula Kent Meehan • President & Publisher Marcia Wilson Hobbs
Guest Editorial by Ari Bussel
Saluting Frank Fenton And Some Other Historic Mayors
Join me on a quick tour of Beverly Hills. We will
not board one of the double-decker, red buses, as this is
not the “tourist version.” We will not walk through the
business triangle visiting its establishments, as this is not
the “business” or “commerce” tour I take guests from
overseas. Rather, you are invited to see the backstage,
those strings from above, the lighting and other controls
that make Beverly Hills so unique and extraordinary.
Civic Involvement
Looking around, one finds many examples of civicminded individuals. Here are some names from the past
three decades that come to mind immediately: Frank
Fenton, Tom Levyn, Mark Egerman, Steve Webb, Barry
Brucker, Jimmy Delshad, Eliot Finkel, Les Bronte;
MeraLee Goldman, Linda Briskman, Vicki Reynolds,
Donna Ellman-Garber, almost—but not quite—an
equal number of memorable women and men.
The list is much longer, and I purposely did not
include the current City Council. They may have earned
their place but until they retire do not belong here yet,
as tempting as it may be to include some highlights of
their achievements.
When Steve Webb lost his last election, the warm
feeling of respect toward him was felt in the tent. It was
an extraordinary evening, melting the bitterness of the
loss and warming up everyone’s hearts.
Tom Levyn is responsible, inter alia, for our Sunday
Farmers’ Market and Team Beverly Hills.
MeraLee Goldman’s Forum Series that started as a
part of the celebrations of the new millennium has set
an amazing example of a “community program” bringing an eclectic mix of speakers, across numerous fields
of expertise and interest, to the City. Two hours free
parking at Two Rodeo Drive, alongside the Crate and
Barrel building connecting Beverly Drive and Canon
Drive are also attributed to her.
Linda Briskman and Mark Egerman are reflected in
the Montage Hotel and Beverly Canon Gardens just
adjacent to it. Without their persistence, stubbornness
and advocacy, we likely would have neither.
Briskman and husband Gary can be found in
another place, very dear to my heart and a worthwhile
destination: the City’s 9/11 permanent memorial.
Mark Egerman was our 9/11 mayor, and his focus
on CERT (Community Emergency Response Training)
has not abated. (He and wife Dr. Lynn care for other
things, for instance—the homeless.)
Les Bronte’s involvement with CPR and the Maple
Counseling Center are just a touch of the many things
he does. He cares, and brings laughter with him—lest
one takes things a bit too seriously.
Vicky Reynolds will likely be remembered more as
the “architect” for turning the old post office into a gem
of a cultural center, right here at home.
Jimmy Delshad was the first Iranian to be elected
and serve for two terms. Not only did he mobilize the
Iranians in Beverly Hills to vote (most of the older generation never did, as they did not vote in Iran), he managed after his first term to unite the community to be
one, irrespective of habits, accents, national origins or
immigration status or other traits making us all unique.
Delshad remains the “goodwill ambassador” of the City.
Barry Brucker came from the BHUSD Board of
Education, where he showed what it means to lead
under pressure, using his trademark common sense and
good nature when faced with the upheaval caused by
Erin Brockovich’s appearance in town and the lawsuits
which ensued. Together with his wife Sue, they have
been involved in so many endeavors, that one can only
conjure another giant of giving and involvement, the
late Max Salter and his wife Janet.
In a City often divided, with plethora of opinions
that rarely seem to converge, City Treasurer Eliot Finkel
is quite an exception. He brings to his office fiscal
responsibility, expectation of accountability from City
staff (which he demands) and long term planning.
Usually viewed as a stepchild, the office of the city
treasurer is the third pillar of elected offices—along
with the Board of Education and City Council.
There is only one person who has served in all
three capacities: the late Frank Fenton.
The 1980s
Fenton and Egerman served on the school board
(as did the late Betty Wilson) when I was a student at
Beverly High, and I have known them for more than 30
years now. It was then that the state decided to divide
its income from property taxes based upon the number
of individuals residing in any particular city, and
Beverly Hills lost most of its funding overnight (what
was generated here did not remain here).
Programs had to be cut en masse. First to go were
music, sports, arts and other “electives.” The community was put to the task, via the BHEF (anyone remembers
the annual calendars that were mailed out?) and eventually the City pitched in via the JPA (an interesting way
to channel millions of dollars every year from the City
government to the school board). The Joint Powers
Agreement continues to this very day; so comfortable it
has become to expect this flow of money.
The Chief Gardener
Throughout the decades, the City stood on three
pillars: police, fire and schools. From there, branches
extended, offering programs, training and numerous
ways of getting involved. Like tree trunks, these pillars
were constantly watered and fertilized, pruned and
cared for with the love, support and dedication of the
residents.
Possibly more known than any is one particular
gardener, or likely our “chief gardener” Judie Fenton,
Frank’s wife. If Frank tended to the school and the City
in all three elected capacities, Judie cared for the
schools, police and fire departments in practice. For the
Fentons, three was a lucky charm.
Nothing seems to happen in the City without either
Judie's direct involvement or blessings. Husband Frank
was the “diplomat,” the serious and all respected “secretary of state,” while the mind that designs and executes and makes everything work in the background is
none other than wife Judie.
Something most extraordinary happened in March,
2009. Based on a request from then Mayor Brucker,
Frank Fenton was installed as the mayor, under a special
succession plan, for the last month in office in March
2009, when the new City Council was sworn into
office. It was the last opportunity to bestow this honor,
and Barry stood up to the task. (Indeed, this seems so
simple, and yet so few would have done the same if in
Brucker’s shoes.)
Extraordinary Individuals Doing Extraordinary Deeds
It was not the title of “mayor,” rather the unique
acknowledgement —shared by the entire council and
the entire City, residents, business owners and staff—
recognizing Mayor Fenton’s outstanding contributions
to the community he so loved, as well as the legacy of
accomplishments he had achieved during more than 30
years of public service.
Due to his long illness, Mayor Frank had not really
been seen since, but definitely has not been forgotten.
Though we just lost him last week, he is already sorely
missed and will continue to always be in our hearts.
And Still Another Salute To Our Community...
For many people 13 is an unlucky even ominous
number. Not so for me. It was 13 years ago that Brigitte
and I moved into our Olympic Boulevard apartment
where so much profound happiness has taken place.
It’s hard to picture living anywhere else. When we first
saw the apartment, I knew it was to be our first home
as a newly married couple. I liked the bay window in
the kitchen that looks out north into the neighborhood
and the fountain in the courtyard, that has become
such a fixture in our lives as a soothing lullabye, along
with my Astrud Gilberto and Sinatra CDs.
We didn’t know how long we could stay in our
petit chateau, with it’s balcony outside our bedroom,
when we got here in 2003. When Sofia was born in
2006, we kept her in the bedroom with us, as we only
had one bedroom. It worked out fine as the apartment,
first built in 1939, is very large in layout and we felt we
had sufficient space to stay on. We didn’t want to leave
our home.
In 2008 Olympia was born, and we decided to
give the girls the bedroom and we moved our Eastern
King bed (those are wider as opposed to California
King, which is longer at the foot of the bed) into the living room and turned it into a “master suite” with love
seat couch and leather chair from Pottery Barn, which
all these years later has held up amazingly well.
Now 13 years later and we still live in our little
“treehouse” with the girls, who admittedly would like
to have their own room, but we’re not giving up the
dining room.
You don’t need a lot of space when you fill it with
love and warmth of family.
We love our neighborhood and the local school,
El Rodeo, which has been incredible for the girls.
We are thankful every day to be here in Beverly
Hills and plan to stay a very long time.
After all, where else would I get a high school
track to run on with the lights on til 9 p.m.?

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 12). Life is cumulative. What you now consider to be some of your best experiences were at one time stories you
didn’t want to tell. Because of your open mind and embracing heart,
many resplendent happenings unfold before the year is over. Take your
earnings and invest them in the February project. Pisces and Libra adore
you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Feelings are not facts. Feelings grab your attention
and your mind immediately takes on the work of making sense of it—filling in a story to explain why, a theory, any theory, valid or not. Don’t overreact!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Interests are a natural basis for friendship, but
how are you to meetnew friends who share your interests unless you take
some initiative and go to the meetup where they are hanging out?
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You like people who are curious like you. This
always leads to riveting conversation. You also like resolved people who
don’t have to ask so many questions. Today brings a good balance
between the two types.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Do not mistakenly think if you get this or
that out of the way, you'll finally have peace. Your peace is not being
impeded by “this or that,” so much as the machinations of your mind,
which can also be trained toward tranquility.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Questions of authority arise. Who is to
say? Who calls the shots? Whose opinion matters? Who gets the final
word? The obvious answers are wrong. Look deeper. Power can be tricky
and secretive.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The very ambition that causes you to
want to be at a higher peak might be preventing you from seeing your situation from the better vantage point. The only way is to shake off your
desire, fear and ego. Be the moment.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When you think of the other person as an
adversary, the gap between your positions seems ever so wide. But is this
person really the enemy? With all you have in common, you could be
fighting for a shared goal.
PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). Travels and adventures are on your mind,
though you wonder if all the fun is in the fantasy. There are pains and
inconveniences involved in making this real. Is it worth it? Only you can
answer that.
ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). You find some small reason to celebrate, and
suddenly you’ve this irresistible party energy around you. Happy people
will be attracted to your high vibration.
TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). Your great work will not be the result of a
flash of inspiration. It will be the culmination of dozens of experiments
then hundreds of exercises to hone and tweak them. Try to be patient as
you follow your curiosity.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Entering a room, it’s natural to assume that
everyone inside already knows each other. But of course this isn’t usually
the case. A small amount of boldness is all it take to make new friends.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). There was a time you needed someone more
than you do now. It doesn’t mean that you were using this person before
(maybe a little). Anyway, your efforts in the relationship will mean more
now because they are selfless.
