Hold Your Water

By Matt Lopez “Brown is the new green,” declared Councilmember Nancy Krasne last week. Since then, it has become the rallying cry in reference to harsh new laws on water restrictions hitting Beverly Hills and other parts of Southern California.

The Beverly Hills Unified School District is prepared to put that to the test.

The school board gave direction Tuesday night to immediately cease watering the lawns at all five BHUSD schools – yes, including

the iconic front lawn at Beverly Hills High.

The move came at the urging of student boardmember Josh Schenk, who asked the item to be added to the agenda after claiming many of his fellow seniors at Beverly Hills High had been discussing ways to cut back on water usage on the heels of new laws drastically cutting water usage in the City by 36-percent.

“We have directed staff to stop watering our lawns at each (see ‘BHUSD WATER’ page 16)

BHUSD Seeks Clarification On Scout House Land Issues

Beverly Hills School District to immediately stop watering all five school lawns The Beverly Hills Fire Department hosted Fire Service Day last weekend. 4

SINCE 1965

the year, we will honor the legacy of excellence in Beverly Hills’ heritage businesses that have called the City their home since 1965 or earlier.

By Matt Lopez Believe it or not, one of Beverly Hills’ oldest luxury retailers actually started in England.

That’s the story of David Orgell, the high-end jewelry, timepiece and gift shop that has graced Rodeo Drive since 1958.

That 57 year history is just the tip of the iceberg for David Orgell, however.

The store’s history dates back to the late 1800s in England, where the Orgell family developed a clientele that included, among others, the Royal family.

The Orgells immigrated to the Rahim, Zahra and Korosh Soltani (see ‘DAVID ORGELL’ page 16)

By Victoria Talbot The planned closure of the Scout House and subsequent demolition and takeover of the property by the Los Angeles Country Club has hit a major snag. Digging into their 80year relationship with Beverly Hills Unified School District and their shared lot lines has turned up some skeletons in the closet, including questions about ownership of the three cabins and the property beneath them.

In closed session Tuesday, the Beverly Hills Unified School District spoke with Scoutmaster Joel Ordesky of BHSHA Inc., the Charter Organization for Troop 33 representing the troops and the El Rodeo Scout House and Cultural Heritage Commissioner Noah Furie.

Now, it seems, under scrutiny from Joel Ordesky for BHSHA Inc., the School Board, the Los Angeles Country Club (LACC), preservation organizations including Beverly Hills Heritage and the Beverly Hills Cultural Heritage Commision, the City of Beverly Hills and

the Boys and Girls Scouts, the situation has grown complicated, indeed.

After receiving information from Furie and Ordesky, the board directed the counsel to look into boundary issues and if necessary, obtain a surveyor to settle any disputes over property rights, reported Board of Education President, Brian David Goldberg, PhD. “The board is committed to working with the Scouts, the City of Beverly Hills and the Los Angeles Country Club on a solution that maintains the Scout House and accommodates the needs of the country club. We hope for a speedy resolution that allows this important resource to continue in its present location for the scouts and school district,” said Goldberg.

Goldberg was responding to a surprise twist that seems to have revealed issues with encroachment from the LACC on El Rodeo-BHUSD property.

According to planning maps, the two smaller buildings that form part of the (see ‘SCOUT HOUSE’ page 16)

School Board To Discuss Program Improvement Status Saturday

By Matt Lopez The Beverly Hills Board of Education has called a special board meeting for Saturday morning at 7:30 a.m. to hash out the district's future in Program Improvement status.

Beverly Hills High entered program improvement status in October because of California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) scores that failed to meet the requirement of 100 percent proficiency.

out of Program Improvement status, aside from raising its scores to 100-percent proficiency, is to reject Title I funding from the federal government.

That was the topic of discussion at Tuesday's board meeting, where the school board couldn't come to a decision on whether or not to move Title I funds from BHHS to Horace Mann, which would move BHHS out of Program (see ‘CAHSEE SCORES’ page 16)

901 Strada Vecchia Appeal Hearing Set For June 2 At LADBS Downtown

THREE-PEAT – Beverly Vista School’s Yearbook Program is the proud winner of the esteemed award for a third year in a row. In LA Lakers’ jargon, it’s a “three-peat” and it is just as rare. The award is available to 11,000 schools nationally and internationally but 356 schools earned this coveted award and only 48 schools in the state of California. Pictured: back row, (from left): Bridgette Fussman, Austin Derrick, Nathan Kim, Siheon Yoon, Ben Gold, Tohar Zamir, CJ Southerland and Terry Postlewaite (BV Yearbook Advisor).

By Matt Lopez The long-simmering war between Bel-Air residents and 901 Strada Vecchia, one of the most notorious megamansion’s in Southern California, could soon be coming to a head.

901 Strada Vecchia and its celebrity developer Mohamed Hadid will come before the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety Commissioners for an appeal hearing on Tuesday, June 2 at 9:30 a.m. The address is 201 N. Figueroa St., Room 900, in downtown L.A. After months of delays, the LADBS finally cracked down on the project in April, ordering the site to demolish and remove any and all unapproved construction.

FIRE SERVICE DAY — Beverly Hills Fire Chief Ralph Mundell and Mayor Julian Gold were on hand for hot dogs and cokes from the Beverly Hills Firefighters’ Association. BHFA members demonstrated firefighting and rescue techniques, talked to firefighters-in-waiting and brought smiles to everyone who attended this fun, annual event.

School Board Talks Issuing Third Set Of Measure E Bonds

By Matt Lopez The Beverly Hills Board of Education took a big step toward issuing the third series of Measure E bonds at its meeting on Tuesday.

The school board majority came to an agreement on issuing the third series of funds in an amount not to exceed $76 million. Because the public must have the opportunity to hear the pro-

Permits were revoked and a stopwork order was levied in September, but the LADBS found that unpermitted work had continued over the following months.

901 Strada Vecchia appealed the LADBS’ order, leading to the hearing on June 2. If the ruling is upheld, the matter is turned over to the L.A. City Attorney for prosecution.

LADBS spokesman Luke Zamperini confirmed that “the case is being prepared for submittal to the City Attorney pending the outcome of the appeal hearing.”

901 Strada, LLC is listed as the owner of the property, with Virginia attorney James T. Zelloe listed as the executive of the company.

posal, it must be discussed at two consecutive meetings before it can be voted on, meaning the item will be placed on the May 26 Board of Education agenda for an official vote.

The issuance of bonds was supported Tuesday by VP Howard Goldstein and boardmembers Lisa Korbatov and Lewis Hall.

By Victoria Talbot In the wake of the announcement

by Beverly Hills Unified School District that they will turn off all watering, residents are asking what the City of Beverly Hills is going to do with the City’s parks and medians.

With the iconic Mormon Temple lawn going brown in the parched landscape, the City’s urban parks and recreation areas remain green.

Last week at budget hearings, Councilmember Nancy Krasne asked what the City was doing to cut back on watering.

Beverly Hills Urban Forester Ken Pfalzgraf explained that the City has cut back watering at parks to two times per week, a 33-percent cut.

More important, however, when the fields at Roxbury Park were renovated last year the City “made a sizeable investment in the baseball fields.” The turf was replaced with a hybrid Bermuda grass of the type typically used by golf courses. This grass requires far less water, and will live through the AugustSeptember heat with less. It will turn brown as the weather heats up, said Pfalzgraf, but with minimal watering, the roots will not die and it will come back in December and January.

Pfalzgraf modified the fields to drain better and added a type of soil that retains nutrients better. The areas surrounding the buildings were modified to drip systems. All of these options (see ‘CITY WATERING’ page 14)

BHUSD Examines Leasing Home When Woods Departs

By Matt Lopez With BHUSD superintendent Gary Woods set to resign from his post, the district is making plans for the future of the district-owned home he currently lives in.

BHUSD Board of Education president confirmed to The Courier that Woods, who will resign effective June 30, is scheduled to move out of his district-purchased home at the end of the month.

The district purchased the home for $1.5 million in June 2012 and negotiated a rental agreement with Woods. Goldberg said with Woods leaving the home, the district will look to lease the property at fair market value.

“We're going to go through the property and get it prepared and put out a request for qualifications, open to all brokers,” Goldberg said.

“The board will review any responses to that request and make a decision on who will represent us in leasing that property.”

Goldberg said the district would look to lease at fair market value and hope to reach a number that would cover its monthly payment that he estimated was around $4,200, and possibly even result in a small profit.

Chief Administrative Officer La Tanya Kirk-Carter did not respond before The Courier’s deadline with what that exact monthly payment is, but said it is a “municipal financing” and not a mortgage.

Goldberg was board president when the home was purchased and said at the time that even if Woods didn't end up renting the home, he still considered it a sound investment for the district.

these essential services to Beverly Hills and hear directly from them how we can provide better service,” said Director of Public Works George Chavez.

The event will feature a hefty selection of utility vehicles. Trucks include the electric service vehicles, wastewater, natural gas and a backhoe – for the truck-loving crowd.

There will be kid-friendly

activities, arts and crafts, games, prizes and giveaways.

The event will be at the Farmers’ Market location.

The ArtSHOW is Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. at Beverly Gardens Park between Rexford and Rodeo Drives. In its 41st year, the event is free to the public.

By Victoria Talbot Beverly Hills resident, 10year old Jonah Nazarian has a strong sense of social justice.

Though he has never seen one, he has decided to do his part to save the Channel Islands’ fox.

The fox lives only on six of the eight Channel Islands.

They are found nowhere else on earth and each island harbors a unique subspecies unique to the island.

The fox population there declined rapidly in the 1990s due to a combination of predation by golden eagles and human activities, their fragile populations dwindled to endangerment.

The golden eagle is four times the size of the fox. Generations of livestock grazing had removed the natural grassland habitat, making the foxes vulnerable prey.

For the last decade, the eagles are being relocated to the mainland. A fox breeding

program, ecosystem restoration and a program to vaccinate against canine distemper

The Channel Islands Fox

has also helped. The population had gone from 6,000 to 16 and is now back up to 1,660.

Now the foxes face another hazard – trash cans. The fox can climb in – but because they are so small – cannot get out. And the old roadside bins encourage the fox to cross roads. Cars have tragically killed many.

“I

“Sumner is a very different and unusual person … he’s got this beautiful hair and the most beautiful skin I’ve ever seen in my life, not one wrinkle on his face. We’ve taken care of each other from day one … so are things different? Things are always different in relationships.

Beverly Hills Country Club Sale Hilton & Hyland Offers Holmby Hills Will Mean Promising Renovations Paul Williams Property At $45 Million

By Victoria Talbot The Beverly Hills Country Club, built in 1926 to accommodate entertainment industry people who were not accepted into other local country clubs, has been sold.

The BHCC offered industry professionals a place to recreate and engage in sports and social activities denied to them by other early Country Clubs in the area.

Actually located in Cheviot Hills, the club was close to Fox Studios and the MGM lot (now Sony Studios).

Members such as Errol Flynn, Humphrey Bogart, Cesar Romero, Jack Lemmon, Edie Adams, Ann Sothern, Ernie Kovacs, Robert Montgomery and Oscar Hammerstein played golf and tennis on the fouracre location.

The club has been owned since 1985 by L.A. Partners. The purchasers are Singerman Real Estate from Chicago, and Meriwether Cos. of Boulder, Colorado.

‘We’re very excited to be acquiring the club,’ said Managing Partner of Meriwether Cos., Graham Culp. It has rich history dating back to 1926.

It is in need of renovation and we have committed an excess of $10 million for it.”

Meriwether will be hosting two cocktail receptions to introduce themselves and solicit input and feedback from the members in coming weeks.

The Beverly Hills Country Club is located at 3084 Motor Ave. in Los Angeles.

CLASSIC BEAUTY–- (Above) Endless opportunities for entertaining flourish throughout this Paul Williams design. (Below) Beams, archways and tile accents are characteristic throughout.

By Victoria Talbot Just inside Bel-Air’s East Gate, abutting Sunset Boulevard at a distant edge of the property, Hilton & Hyland has listed a Spanish-style home originally designed by Paul Williams.

Reflecting Williams’ architectural values, the home resonates with warmth and personality. Rustic red tiles against rich, deep woods and signature ceiling beams broaden the hospitable aura that emanates a relaxed rapport.

Arched doorways and colorful tile work frame scenic passageways and garden enclosures. Cozy rooms whisper amorous incantations around secret corners.

The home is situated on a multitiered 1.8-acre lot that drops from the interior courtyard and fountain to a grassy pool area below. Beneath the pool, a recreation plaza, including tennis and

spa facilities, perches above a secret teahouse surrounded by a romantic moat at the lower end of the property.

Designed by Williams in 1931, in 2007 the home was extended and remodeled to respect the genteel sensibilities of the master architect.

With Compassionate Care, Breast Institute Puts Patients First he Beverly Hills Breast institute is committed to “Compassionate Comprehensive Cosmetic Care before, during, after—and beyond.” making patients a top priority.

“My mission was to create an approach to breast surgery dedicated to serving every woman’s needs and achieving their goals,” says institute founder Dr. Jaime S. Schwartz, FACS. “With the women we have the opportunity to care for at the Institute, we fulfill this goal each day.”

The internationally renowned breast surgery center specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery combining the safest and most upto-date technology and techniques.

Among the procedures offered are: • Aesthetic breast surgery including augmentation and lift, reduction for both men and women and nipple and areola reduction and asymmetry • Restorative surgery for congenital deformities and cancer reconstruction.

• Corrective surgery for botched procedures and those unhappy with the results, and revision for hard implants, implant rippling and breast pain.

“Compassion is what gives my work meaning,” says Schwartz. “We are deeply involved in every aspect of your care, offering you true understanding and personal attention. We will be at your side each step of the way. What distinguishes us is our unwavering commitment to educating you about every option available—helping you make the right choices for your body and your health. We listen carefully, connect

T

with your personally and create a unique wellness program custom tailored to you.”

Dr. Schwartz was selected as 1 of only 10 plastic surgeons in the U.S. to develop clinical practice guidelines for breast reconstruction.

He is a national trainer of Memory Shape Implants, also known as “Gummy Bear” implants, a highly-sought-after, anatomic breast implant. Compared to other types of silicone gel implants, the silicone in the gummy bear is more cross-linked (highly cohesive). Should the implant shell “rupture” it maintains its shape, and the silicone doesn't leak.

Dr. Schwartz lectures across the country on the use and safety of these implants.

He as also served as a principle investigator for an FDA clinical trial aimed at correcting poorly healed breast scars. Dr. Schwartz’ current research interests include developing a new technique in breast reconstruction aimed at reducing pain and recovery time for women (Autoderm Procedure).

Countless testimonials from men and women, breast-cancer sur vivors and other patients, cite Schwartz’ personable bedside manner and willingness to answer questions and describe the pros and cons of each implant and why.

One patients wrote, “he told me, ‘come back and see me any time because he would always be there for me.’ I’d never heard that from a doctor before.”

Mark National Therapy Animal Day On May 18 May 18 is the inaugural National Therapy Animal Day created by nonprofit Pet Partners (www.petpartners.org) to recognize the exceptional therapy animals who partner with their human companions to bring comfort and healing to those in need.

Providence Health & Services has animal therapy programs at all six of its Southern California hospitals, including Providence St. John’s Health Center which will celebrate the day with a special event from 10 a.m. -2 p.m.

Nine of its regular volunteers and their therapy dogs will be on-site and visitors are invited to learn more about the benefits of animal therapy, enter a drawing for a gift basket full of dog-related items, and interact with the dogs.

“Humans and animals have always shared a strong bond,” says Grenda Pearlman, Providence St. John’s director of volunteer services. “Throughout history our pets have given us companionship. It’s only natural that this gift is now being used to help those who are sick and at their most vulnerable. This event is just one way to celebrate the amazing work of our volunteers and bring awareness to animal-assisted therapy.”

Mitch McKnight, Los Angeles firefighter with the CERT Disaster Preparedness unit, has been bringing his dog, Sparky, to Providence Tarzana Medical Center for six years. Nine-year old Sparky is an Australian Shepherd/Collie mix and a registered service animal.

Mitch McKnight and Sparky

“Sparky gets really e x c i t e d when I put her service animal vest on,” says McKnight.

“It’s like she’s s a y i n g , ‘We’re going to work.’

But, once we get to the hospital she gets more serious, like she knows she has a job to do and

she’s ready.”

McKnight says that his job teaching disaster preparedness demands that he remain calm and emotionless, but as soon as Sparky and him get to the hospital and see all those kids, all bets are off.

“I still remember this one little boy who was too sick to get out of his hospital bed,” says McKnight. “I brought Sparky in to see him and he tried to reach down to pet him, but just couldn’t quite reach. I asked his mom if it was okay to put Sparky on the bed with him. As soon as I did, Sparky started licking him all over his face. I said, ‘He’s giving you kisses.’ The little boy smiled and said, ‘Now I have a friend.’ Moments like that that are priceless.”

HELPING FIGHT CERVICAL CANCER—A team from Beverly Hills-based nonprofit CureCervicalCancer (CCC) has returned from Ethiopia where it trained 26 nurses (above) in the “See and Treat” procedure developed by Dr. Patricia Gordon (center, in teal), CCC founder, to help prevent the disease.

Beverly Hills-Based CureCervicalCancer Team Returns From Ethiopia After Establishing Four New Clinics After a year of planning with its ground partner, the Ethiopian Ministry of Health, a team from Beverly-Hills based nonprofit CureCervicalCancer (CCC) has returned from Ethiopia.

The CCC team, led by Patricia Gordon M.D., founding director and board chair, established four new permanent and sustainable cervical cancer clinics in Addis Ababa with St. Paul’s Millennium Medical College (“DeeDee and Donna Clinic”) as the main clinic and Alert Hospital (“Mary II Clinic”), Felege Meles Hospital (“The Dake Family Clinic”), and Kolfe Hospital (“Victoria O’Connor Clinic”) as the satellite clinics, that will continue to screen and treat women for pre-invasive cervical cancer lesions for years and years to come.

“Thousands and thousands of lives will be saved,” Gordon says. In just one week, the team screened 618 women and 115 were treated with cryotherapy.

The team also revisited and re-supplied its first existing clinic in the Tigray region in the northern part of Ethiopia about 800 kilometers north of Addis

Ababa in Mekelle—“For Our Mothers and Sisters” clinic at Ayder Referral Hospital, the largest medical teaching hospital in Ethiopia.

“With great pride, we witnessed what CCC has always thought possible— to see the clinic thriving and see that our trained nurses Sara and Tsehay are now teaching other nurses at Ayder in the “See and Treat” procedure was a dream come true.“ “See and Treat” is a method for cervical cancer detection, prevention and treatment.

“It is a well known fact that cervical cancer equals maternal mortality rates for women in Ethiopia,” says Gordon.

“Rates are extremely high, and this silent epidemic is 100-percent preventable with this simple yet elegant technique.

We have now provided the knowledge and equipment of this technique to four centers to continue our efforts long after we have left this region.”

The four new clinics bring the total to 31 sustainable clinics CCC has developed worldwide.

“Fox Saver Bins” are used at Yellowstone and Yosemite National Parks. These cans are used to keep bears away from human food and discourage foraging. The bins coast $2,000 each and the Catalina Island Conservancy has a goal of replacing 150 trash bins across the island.

Jonah wants to help. He designed a booster website to do just that. And so far, he has raised $590 toward his goal of purchasing one Fox Saver Bin for Friends of the Island Fox by selling tee-shirts that he designed himself. Buy a tee-shirt and the proceeds go to the foxes.

For a 10-year-old, that is pretty impressive.

The island fox, a descendent of the mainland gray fox, is one of the smallest canid species in the world, according to the California Park Service, typically 18-20 inches long and 4-6 inches high at the shoulder.

The tail is 4-11 inches long, compared to a gray fox averaging 10-17 inch tails. They weigh between 2.2 and 6.2 pounds. An average chihuahua weighs 5-6 pounds.

Each island’s fox has genetic and phenotypic distinctions, such as differing numbers of vertebrae. They live on San Miguel, Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz, San Nicolas, Santa Catalina and San Clemente Island.

Efforts to rebuild the population have been largely successful. Federally listed as endangered in 2004, their numbers have improved to “critically endangered” as of 2013.

Stirring WWII Documentary Set To Premiere On Memorial Day

By John L. Seitz The upcoming Memorial Day (May 25) holiday will have a special meaning at the Directors Guild of America, 7920 Sunset Blvd., as documentary filmmaker Steven C. Barber and his Vanilla Fire Productions ( www.vanillafire.com) present the world premiere of Return To The Philippines, The Leon Cooper Story.

Directed

by Matthew Hausle and recently acquired by Netflix, the epic tale follows the exploits of World War II hero Leon Cooper (now 95), as he travels back to Manila to shine a light on the 7,000 U.S. service personnel still buried there who have never come home.

Actor Ed Harris is the narrator with music by John Mellencamp.

Admission to the event is free to the public.

Those wishing to attend should arrive at the DGA headquarters by 6 p.m.

When the “Celebrate Israel“ festivities kick off Sunday at Rancho Park, (http://www.celebrateisraelfestival.com/LosAngel es/en/) the Jewish Community Children’s Choir (JCCC) will be center stage.

The group, made up of 712 year olds from all kinds of Jewish schools from the Westside and valley areas, will open the day-long festivities singing both the Israeli and American national anthems.

Founded four years ago, the choir has grown to 52 members, according to director Michelle Green Willner.

“A community that sings together stays together,” is the slogan and idea behind the choir, a program of the Schulweis Institute.

Members come from local private Jewish day schools like Harkham Hillel Hebrew Academy, Sinai Akiba Academy and Sinai Temple Religious School, charter schools and public schools like Horace Mann.

All different expressions are represented including reform, conservative orthodox and unaffiliated.

“This is a lovely inspiring group of young people that just

“Some kids have no experi-

ence with their Jewish heritage,” adds Green Willner.

“Others have a background and want to sing and learn more about Jewish music.”

Besides English, members have learned selections in Hebrew, Yiddish, French and Spanish. (see ‘CHOIR,’ page 17)

Guests include mezzo-soprano Nandani Maria Sinha and tenors Ashley Faatoalia and David Castillo.

All three of these amazingly talented artists have performed with the LA Opera.

The opera and dinner is sponsored by the Friends of

Greystone, a non-profit dedicated to maintenance and restoration of one of Beverly Hills' most treasured assets, Greystone Mansion and Park.

TIckets are $60 for Friends of Greystone and $70 for nonmembers.

Space is limited so advanced registration is required.

SCOUT HOUSE

Scout House ineligible for historic designation. The buildings’ history and Master Architect would not be enough. The building lacks important architectural and historical significance as defined in the revised Cultural Heritage Ordinance.

In a letter delivered to Ordesky, former LACC General Manager Kirk Reese explained the Board’s position that their liability was onerous, given the condition of the buildings. The District had failed to maintain them. In addition, the District had lent the cabins for unauthorized uses “including use for BHUSD adult education and even as a polling place for the City of Beverly Hills”.

Therefore, wrote Reese in a letter Dec. 8, the LACC Board wished to terminate the lease and demolish the buildings.

However, The Courier obtained a letter to the Board of Directors of LACC dated May 11 in which Ordesky revealed a trove of missteps that may render the LACC request to vacate difficult to enforce.

In a meeting last November, Ordesky said that Reese told he and Goldberg that the Club “needed every inch of space for the 2023 US Open” and events leading up to it.

But, wrote Ordesky this week, “My research has shown . . . the land upon which the Scout Houses sits can be of no use to the Club as it is too close to the existing Elementary School (and subject to strict set

back regulations) or is zoned for School use only.”

Ordesky also pointed out that the “Beverly Hills City limit lines which run north along Whittier and include your gate/driveway to the north of the Scout House are zoned for School use according to the Beverly Hills Department of Community Development.

But, said Ordesky, the LACC does not own the buildings. “When the Rotary Club relinquished the charter of Troop 33 it was required to and did hand over all assets of the troop to the subsequent Charter Organization. Today those assets are owned by the BHSHA.” The district was never the Charter Organization and so the BHUSD had no authority to agree that should the lease end, the land would be returned to the club with the improvements included. And because BHUSD “defaulted through non-payment of the ($1-peryear) lease payment and failure to maintain the property as specified that lease therefore is no longer binding.”

Ordesky also explained that he is “obligated to pursue” historic landmark designation as the chair of the 501c3 with “a mission to support the Scout Houses,” which includes state and federal preservation, in addition to Los Angeles and Beverly Hills.

The Los Angeles Country Club did not return calls.

tion in its formative years.

The store was, as it still is, noted for its collection of fine silver, gifts and tableware from all over the world.

Orgell died in 1987 and in 1989, his wife Teddy sold the business to the Soltani family.

Teddy remained working with the business for the next year or so before retiring.

The Soltanis, much like the store’s namesake did before them, have kept the store in the family.

The Soltanis came to America from Iran in 1971, first moving to Anaheim before coming to Beverly Hills in 1975.

Current Vice President/Managing Director Korosh and his brother Ali attended Hawthorne and Beverly Hills High School.

Korosh’s father Rahim ran the store when Korosh began

working after college doing deliveries and fell in love with the business.

“David Orgell just goes with the City, it goes with Rodeo Drive like Nate ‘n Al goes with Beverly Drive,” Soltani said. “We take pride in being one of the only non-corporate, family-run stores on Rodeo Drive.”

Korosh says that some of his most valuable experiences are visiting with patrons who pre-date the Soltanis’ ownership.

“We had an 87-year-old woman come in last week who said she was registered here for her wedding in 1959 and still comes by,” Orgell said. “She just needed some glasses for her bar. Those are the kind of experiences that are really important for us. We are happy to be in Beverly Hills.”

(Continued from page 1)

historic Scout Houses may actually be on the property of BHUSD, not LACC. With one third of the larger building in Beverly Hills, that leaves only a portion of one of the houses allegedly on LACC property.

Maps also indicate that the LACC has been encroaching on the western boundary of BHUSD property. Ordesky said that Goldberg revealed the infringement had been discovered when the district took core samples for seismic studies last year at El Rodeo.

Since the story broke in The Courier, there has been a furor of public outrage over the LACC decision to oust the Scouts and demolish the buildings. Across the country, the social media alarm has been raised. Thousands of Beverly Hills Scouts have expressed support and even Sen. Kate Sullivan from Lincoln, NE, whose grandson is a member of Troop 33, expressed outrage.

The buildings, built by Master Architect William Gage (Beverly Hills City Hall architect), have been in continuous use since the Beverly Hills Rotary Club turned them over to Troop 33 in 1934, hosting four generations of Beverly Hills scouts.

But Ordesky reported that Furie hinted that changes to the Cultural Heritage Ordinance (expected to come before City Council for approval in the next month) would make the

school,” Superintendent Gary Woods said Friday, noting that the lawns were “generally watered twice a week.”

After being jokingly advised by Board President Brian Goldberg that the district could wait until after Schenk's senior class graduates to turn off the water, Schenk said his fellow classmates were actually looking forward to graduating on a less than picturesque front lawn.

“The graduation speakers want to be able to make statements about the kinds of things they are doing to be more global students,” Schenk said.

Jackie Kassorla, CEO and founder of Eden Green Living, chair of the El Rodeo Garden Committee and a general go-to in Beverly Hills for gardening and green living advice, said it was the right time for the schools to go dry.

Kassorla said Wednesday that water at El Rodeo had al-

Improvement status.

BHUSD Chief Academic Officer Jennifer Tedford said this year’s funding was $660,00 and said next year’s would be a different amount, likely around $455,000.

Tedford said she did not have current test results available to release to the public yet to see what, if any, progress BHHS has made.

The school board will reconvene Saturday morning at 7:30 a.m. at the district office at 255 S. Lasky Dr. to presumably vote on the matter.

Tedford said Tuesday that BHHS was accessing only around $326,000 of the available funds, with the bulk going toward two-full time teachers, and various professional development and other programs those teachers utilize.

If the money stays at the high school, BHHS would move into phase two of Pro-

Kassorla pointed to a strip of land at El Rodeo from Wilshire/Whittier to the front gate that features state-of-theart subterranean drip and a drought-tolerant garden as a “perfect example of those practices in place.”

“Grass is the most waterconsumptive plant in the landscaping,” Kassorla said.

“Maybe brown really is the new green.”

Boardmember Noah Margo said he would “instantly support stopping watering all the lawns at the schools.” One of his colleagues, Lewis Hall, was a bit more pointed in his view.

“Let the lawn look bad,” Hall said. “The rest of the high school looks bad anyway, so what's the difference?” gram Improvement. If the funds are moved, money would need to be taken out of the General Fund to cover the $326,000 currently being used at BHHS. There was no discussion of how the funds would be utilized at Horace Mann.

“We need to figure out how critical this money is to go without at the high school,” Boardmember Lisa Korbatov said.

“Half the population in our school district is at the high school.”

Board President Brian Goldberg said he wanted to see a plan for how the money would be spent.

“I don't see how Horace Mann is going to use $660,000 this year,” Goldberg told The Courier.

“My position has been that I'm not looking for a quick fix.

I want to hold us accountable for not meeting the standards and keep our feet to the fire.”

Scott Downie/Celebrity Photo FILM FEST HONORS CHAKIRIS—The South East European Film Festival (SEEfest) celebrated its 10th anniversary with a gala at the Writers Guild Theater. SEEfest presented its first ever Legacy and Lifetime Achievement Awards to Oscar-winning actor (West Side Story) George Chakiris and Romanian actor Victor Rebengiuc.

Actor, singer, dancer Chakiris, with a 50-year career in cinema, theater, television and music recording, appeared in nearly 30 films, multiple television variety shows and mini-series, stage plays, revues and concert tours.

Left: Chakiris receives his award from Festival Director Vera Mijojlic.

Since the theme of “Celebrate Israel” is “Jerusalem of Gold,” the choir will sing a medley of songs about the city, including that one, arranged by Green Willner.

The festival, in honor of Israel’s 67th Independence Day is hosted by the Woodland Hillsbased Israeli American Council and runs 11 a.m.-6 p.m. at the Cheviot Hills Recreation Center in Rancho Park, 2551 Motor Ave. Tickets are $6 in advance and $10 at the door.

The choir was asked back to the Israel commemoration after last year, and will be part of an opening 3:30 p.m. ceremony that will include dignitaries and an overhead flyover.

Choir membership is a commitment, Green Willner says, with weekly rehearsals from 56:30 p.m. at the Workman Circle on Robertson. A new chamber group, for older and advanced singers, stays until 7 p.m.

“Some kids come and they’re so shy, they don’t want to leave their parents,“ says Green Willner, “but it only takes a few rehearsals and they’re part of the group. “ Member Leila Balter, 12, enjoys the performances, and getting to know her fellow choir members who come from all parts of L.A., some from as far as Calabasas, she says.

Children learn “with the music in front of them, how to sight sing, the relationship between notes and all things musical. “I love the music,” says Balter, a member of the chamber group. “Our director has very good taste.”

Leila’s sister Hannah, 8, a member of the main choir is par-

ticularly fond of I Believe, a piece the choir has sung a Holocaust remembrances.

Based on anonymous scratchings found on a concentration camp wall after the war, part of the song’s lyrics read, “I believe in God even when he’s silent.”

“Harmony, balance and rhythm are what you need in life and in a choir,” adds Green Willner. “Members learn that everybody has a place, you need to listen to your partner, and listen to the group.“ Their hard work has earned the choir a strong reputation and busy performance schedule.

Appearances this season have included Hanukkah concerts at both American Jewish University and Sinai Temple, where Green Wilner is director of the Sinai Youth Concert Choir.

The choir took part in Holocaust commemoration days at both the Museum of Tolerance and The Museum Of The Holocaust, where members poised for pictures with L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti.

As proof of its popularity, the group was chosen to open an event for former president of Israel Shimon Peres at The Beverly Wilshire. “That was really exciting for the kids and the parents,” says Green Willner.

The annual concert for the Jewish Home for the Aged is a much anticipated event for both choristers and residents.

“We have to learn to give back,” says Green Willner.

There is a $300 fee for the school year with scholarship money available. Those interested in joining may email Michellegwillner@yahoo.com. The first meeting for the new season will be Sept. 20 for vocal placement with the first rehearsal on Oct. 11.

By Matt Lopez Beverly Hills High was just as dominant in its first-round playoff game Wednesday as it was through much of its regular season.

BHHS romped Wednesday in a 16-2 win over visiting St. Francis at BHHS in the first round of the CIF Division 1 playoffs.

BHHS plays at Newport Harbor today at 3 p.m., although Coach Mike Margolin said the match could be moved to Saturday if rain becomes a factor.

Johnny Barcohana swept in singles for the Normans, and Jack Harris nabbed two out of three in singles.

St. Francis had a doubles team forfeit, helping BHHS dominate the final score in doubles.

Track and field BHHS had a banner showing at Ocean League Finals at Lawndale High last week.

Amanda Block won her third straight title in girls varsity pole vault with a leap of 110 and will head to CIF. Raehaan Poonja won the boys varsity 200 meter run in 22.20 seconds for the Normans.

Rashad Ysaguirre won the

discus in 117-8 and also won the shotput in 41-5, qualifying for CIF in both.

In all, BLock, Poonja, Ysaguirre, Elsa Woods (discus), Stanley Wu (110 hurdles), Max Walder (high jump and 400m) and the boys 4x100 relay team advanced to CIF for BHHS varsity.

CIF Division 3 prelims at Saturday at 11 a.m. at Estancia High.

Softball Shyra Costas allowed three hits in seven scoreless innings to lead BHHS to a 5-0 win over host Lawndale on May 7.

Abi Hakimi keyed the offense with two RBIs while Aleks Recupero, Isabel Rund and Madeleine Tirella each drove in one run.

The Normans followed that with a 15-1 loss to Santa Monica on May 12.

Lena Shapiro had the lone hit and run scored for BHHS in the loss.

Baseball The BHHS varsity baseball team lost to Santa Monica 8-2 on May 7 and lost to Culver City 6-0 on May 12. The Normans finished their season up at Culver City on Thursday, but results wer not available before The Courier’s press time.

Beverly Hills Little League Awarded By Health & Safety Commission The Beverly Hills Little League Challenger league won the Health and Safety Commission Award given by the City of Beverly Hills. The BHLL will receive the award next Monday at City Hall. The award recognizes outstanding achievement in Health & Safety in our community.

The Buddy Baseball Challenger Team is a recreational program for individuals with special needs that allows play-

ers to experience the magic of baseball in an inclusive and accommodating environment.

When the program relocated from Chicago to Los Angeles last year, it wanted to bring this program to the local community. Organizers reached out to Beverly Hills Little League, which immediately got behind the program.

The Challenger League played its first season this year between March and May.

million children have been positively impacted by the life skills they have been taught.

Over $2 Million In Research Grants Awarded At Tower of Hope Gala

By Laura Coleman Leaders in entertainment, politics, business and medicine joined together Wednesday evening at The Beverly Hilton for Tower Cancer Research Foundation's Tower of Hope Gala. This year’s annual event honored Kenneth Adashek, MD, James Belardi, chairman/CEO of Athene Asset

Management LLC and Athene Holding Ltd., and Skechers USA, Inc., the lifestyle footwear company.

At the gala, more than $2 million in research grants was awarded, including a $1 million Discovery Fund grant to create an innovative mesothelioma study in Southern California.

The Discovery Fund is a new initiative for the foundation and encourages the pursuit of high-risk, high-reward research projects by providing scientists with funding upfront, thereby removing barriers to entry. The fund’s inaugural grantee is the Cedars-Sinai Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute.

TOWER OF HOPE— Pictured, from left: Abby Levy, Dr. Barry Rosenbloom, Sally Magaram, Dr. Sol Hamburg (TCRF president), Nancy Mishkin (TCRF chairman of the board) and Andrew Raines.

By Victoria Talbot The fate of one of the last remaining examples of Googie architecture is in the hands of the Los Angeles City Council and the new property owner, Jason Illoulian, of La Cienega’s Norms Diner.

Still full of customers, Norms coffee shop remains packed 24-hours a day.

The iconic structure awaits historic designation that could preserve the monument for future generations. Supporters expected the designation vote at this week’s meeting of the Los Angeles City Council, but they were disappointed. The vote was postponed until May 20.

At the restaurant March 19, 5th District Councilman Paul Koretz, Linda Dishman, Executive Director of the Los Angeles Conservancy, Matthew Weiner, creator of Mad Men, actor James Darren (a loyal customer), President of the Norms chain Mike Colonna, and a crowd of supporters celebrated the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission’s unanimous vote to recommend designation for a Historic-Cultural Monument.

The designation confers more robust protection for the property. The building has remained safe during the Historic-Cultural Monument designation process but the permit remains valid after designation.

“I’ve received more comments about Norms than any other building,” said commission president Richard Barron.

Koretz, who represents the Westside, led the charge. “We have torn down too much of our history,” he told commissioners.

It is uncertain what the owner will do; but Colonna, who has been in talks with his new landlord, said that he is optimistic. “I believe the intent is to work with us.”

On March 20, following the commission’s unanimous vote, attorney DJ Moore, a partner at law firm Latham & Watkins representing property owner JDM Holdings, said the

owner has, “no current plans to demolish the building.” They did not oppose the decision.

“We are looking forward to having discussions with the city and stakeholders to try and achieve a win-win result once the potential options have been developed.”

Last month, Illoulian said plans for the restaurant and 43 parking spaces included a “community of shops” with tenants like those in the Brentwood Country Mart or on Abbot Kinney in Venice.

“Our intent, very clearly, is to stay and run a Norms out of that location,” said Colonna.

But Illoulian just hopes to keep a 24-hour restaurant. Koretz has said that he would like the restaurant to stay.

Architects Hodgetts + Fung in Century City are considering a two-story development with an underground parking area.

In a recent interview, Hodgett called Norms, “an iconic reference without a hint of nostalgia.” He doesn’t believe most of the future restaurant’s potential clients have ever been there.

Eldon Davis and Louis Armet built Norm’s in 1956 with the “Space Age” architecture aimed at customers steeped in the car culture that dominated the era. The sweeping lines have been catching the eye of motorists ever since.

The fanciful Jetsons architecture, reminiscent of Tomorrowland, has an almost cultlike retro appeal. Once popular throughout Southern California, the style permeated Los Angeles with sharp angles and sweeping spaceship curves throughout the 1950s.

Jack Colker’s 76 Station, located at the corner of South Santa Monica Boulevard. and Crescent Drive, is another great example of this Googie’s.

Norms first location was built on Sunset and Vine in 1949, but the 470 N. La Cienega Blvd. structure is the oldest surviving Norms.

The restaurant’s status is listed “urgent” on the Los Angeles Conservancy website.

PUBLIC NOTICES Ordinance No. 15-O-2676 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS AMENDING THE BEVERLY HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE TO EXPAND THE IN-LIEU PARKING PROGRAM THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. On February 12, 2015, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing after which it adopted Resolution No. 1742, recommending that the City Council amend portions of Title 10 (Planning and Zoning) of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code to expand the in-lieu parking program by creating new in lieu parking district areas (collectively, the “Amendments”). On April 21, 2015, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing, received public testimony, and thereafter introduced this Ordinance.

Section 2. This Ordinance and the Amendments were assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the C a l i f o r n i a Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City. The City Council finds that adoption of the Amendments will not have a significant environmental impact and is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15305 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations because the Amendments represent minor alterations in land use limitations and do not result in any changes in land use or density. Further, the new in lieu parking district areas have average slopes of not more than 20%.

Section 3. The Amendments are consistent with the objectives, principles, and standards of the General Plan. General Plan Policy “LU 9.2 – Mitigation of Existing Commercial Residential Conflicts” calls for the development of consolidated parking facilities to serve commercial areas deficient in parking, or commercial areas which have no alley access to the rear and would require numerous curb cuts if parking were provided on individual parcels.

The expansion of the in

lieu parking program would contribute funds for the creation of consolidated parking facilities and would reduce the number of curb cuts along several commercial corridors in the city.

Additionally, General Plan Policy LU 11.4 “Parking in PedestrianOriented Districts” calls for minimizing driveways in pedestrian oriented commercial districts to avoid interruptions in the continuity of the pedestrian shopping experience.

Section 4. The City Council hereby amends Section 10-33301 of Article 33 of Chapter 3 of Title 10 of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code to read as follows with all other provisions in Article 33 of Chapter 3 of Title 10 remaining in effect without amendment:

Ordinance or the application thereof to any person or place, is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the final decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Ordinance shall be and remain in full force and effect.

Section 6. Publication.

The City Clerk shall cause this Ordinance to be published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation published and circulated in the City within fifteen (15) days after its passage in accordance with Section 36933 of the Government Code, shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance, and shall cause this Ordinance and his certification, together with proof of publication, to be entered in the Book of Ordinances of the Council of this City.

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, 1-800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site, www.auction.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9986-2483.

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. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

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.

MARCIA WILSON HOBBS

Astrology

By Holiday Mathis TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 15). Your success secret is simple: You find out what people want, and you sell it to them. Research is key. In June, your focus on making yourself happy will help you make others happy, too. Business changes, and you change with it, updating your skills in September. February brings a windfall. Aquarius and Taurus people adore you.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). You've had enough attention through the years that you don't long to be noticed. In fact, you often prefer to go under the radar. It's the good that you do anonymously that will mean the most to you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Choose your help carefully. The person who can't be bothered with details is likely to get many things wrong, while the person who is too detail-oriented may never get around to the big picture.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you think you can do it, you probably can. The real question to ask yourself is: Will it be worth the effort it takes? In other words, do you want it enough?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). No one likes to be kept waiting around. The most important virtue of the day will be promptness. It's a way of paying respect and showing your organizational skills, too. You'll score extra points by being early.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). What irritates you about another person is a window into your own psyche. Turn this irritation back on yourself, and you'll come to a new understanding.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People go to great lengths to avoid boredom, when in fact boredom is an incredibly useful emotion. It's what spurs people to learn new skills. Agree to go through the boredom, and let it lead you to improvement.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You'll create something out of the pieces you've collected along the way. The way you assemble things is so fresh, it makes it seem like everything old is new again.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Like-minded friends are the cosmic gift of the day. Being able to speak your thoughts (and be understood) will feel so good that you'll wonder how you were able to stay quiet for so long.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your experience puts you in a special category, and people will be very interested in what you think–but not in everything you think. Better to filter yourself too strictly than to say too much.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It will take a team effort to pull off today's tasks, and your team will only be as strong as its weakest link. Use a forthright approach to find out whom you can count on.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). You may set out on a solo mission, but you won't be alone. Your politeness and consideration will win you the support of those around you. Each problem you solve will help you solve the next one.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). Second chances abound, and so do third and fourth chances. Tests can be retaken, mail can be resent, relationships can start fresh.
