Revamped Walk Of Style Highlights Rodeo Drive Committee’s 2017-18 Plans By Matt Lopez The Rodeo Drive Committee is gearing up to celebrate fashion with a slate of events next year headlined by the return of a rebranded Rodeo Drive Walk of Style. The proposed Runway to Rodeo is part of a “runway to retail” experience that would allow Rodeo Drive merchants to showcase a handful of looks, which would be immediately available instore following a fashion show on Rodeo Drive. Agen-C, the marketing firm working with the Rodeo Drive Committee, anticipates Runway to Rodeo could be held in January,
around awards season. In addition to showcasing Rodeo Drive’s merchants, the event would continue the Walk of Style’s tradition of honoring an icon in the fashion industry. “I haven’t been this excited about a program in a really long time,” said Mayor Lili Bosse. The Runway to Rodeo fashion event is part of a $1.5 million funding request made by the Rodeo Drive Committee, which includes the annual Holiday Lighting Ceremony and the return of a floral interactive photo display that was a big hit on Rodeo Drive earlier this year.

By Laura Coleman Growing up in a small upscale neighborhood just outside of Pittsburgh, Penn., Rhea Worms never imagined just how big and glamorous the rest of the world could be. But then everything changed when her family moved out to California in the early 1940’s when she was 16, taking up residence for two months at the Ambassador Hotel before settling into an L.A. home off of Sunset. “My family fell in love with California,” she recalled. Her father, who owned a department store and much of the
By Matt Lopez Metro is prepared to take the next big step in its Purple Line Extension tunneling through Beverly Hills after a 40 approval from the City Council last Thursday to relocate existing Southern California Edison (SCE) utility lines during construction of the Wilshire Boulevard/Rodeo Drive Metro station. Local businesses, including restaurants Spago and Citizen on Canon Drive, had previously opposed plans that called for Metro to trench and excavate in the area, which would have placed left-turn restrictions from eastbound Wilshire Boulevard onto Canon Drive. The restaurants requested

no work be allowed that would restrict left turns on their heaviest traffic days – Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The first phase of SCE utility relocation for the Wilshire/Rodeo station is expected to begin in late July. For work that requires left-turn restrictions, work times will be 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. Phase two begins Sept. 2017. Murray Fischer, an attorney representing both Spago and Citizen, said at Thursday’s meeting that his clients felt the Memorandum of Understanding before the City Council for Metro’s work was satisfactory.

The current $9.7 million JPA, which includes an additional $125,000 for school crossing guards and City Ambassadors, expired at the end of last month, but both the City and the school district agreed to a two-month extension. “I am optimistic and hopeful that we will reach a positive outcome within the two month extension,” Mayor Lili Bosse said. “The City and

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING The Beverly Hills City Council, at its regular meeting to be held on Tuesday, July 18, 2017, at 7:00 p.m., in the City Hall Council Chamber, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA, will hold a public hearing to consider adoption of: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS PROHIBITING ALL COMMERCIAL CANNABIS ACTIVITY (BOTH MEDICAL AND NON-MEDICAL) EXCEPT FOR DELIVERIES OF MEDICAL CANNABIS, AND FINDING THE ORDINANCE EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT The proposed Ordinance would amend the definition of “person” contained in Section 1-2-1 of Chapter 2 of Title 1 of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code to include the words cooperative and collective as part of the definition. The proposed Ordinance would add Article 47 to Chapter 3 of Title 10 of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code to prohibit all commercial cannabis activity in the City. “Commercial cannabis activity” is defined to include the cultivation, possession, manufacture, distribution, processing, storing, laboratory testing, labeling, transportation, delivery or sale of cannabis and cannabis products. The term “commercial cannabis activity” also means and includes the activities of any business licensed by the State or other government entity under Division 10 of the Business and Professions Code, as it may be amended from time to time. The prohibition on commercial cannabis activity would apply to cannabis used for medical, non-medical, or any other purpose. The proposed Ordinance contains an exception that allows for the delivery of medical cannabis into the city. Additionally, consistent with State law, the prohibitions adopted under the proposed Ordinance will not prohibit a person twenty-one (21) years of age or older from: (1) possessing, processing, purchasing, transporting, obtaining or giving away to persons twenty-one (21) years of age or older, without compensation whatsoever, not more than 28.5 grams of marijuana not in the form of concentrated cannabis or up to eight (8) grams in the form of concentrated cannabis; (2) smoking or ingesting marijuana or marijuana products; or (3) possessing, transporting, purchasing, obtaining, using, manufacturing or giving away marijuana accessories to persons twenty-one (21) years of age or older without compensation whatsoever, to the extent that such activities are authorized by Health and Safety Code Sections 11362.1 and 11362.2, as the same may be amended from time to time. The Planning Commission, at a duly noted public hearing conducted on June 22, 2017, approved a resolution recommending that the City Council adopt an Ordinance which will add Article 47, Cannabis Prohibitions and Regulations, to Chapter 3 of Title 10 of the City’s zoning code, and recommending that the City Council find that the Ordinance is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the City’s CEQA Guidelines pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance will have a significant effect on the environment. The proposed Ordinance will not result in a permanent alteration of property nor the construction of any new or expanded structures. After the Planning Commission considered and made a recommendation on the proposed Ordinance, the Governor signed SB 94 into law, the Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act. The ordinance presented to the City Council will take into account revisions prompted by SB 94. Any interested person may attend the meeting and be heard or present written comments to the City Council. According to Government Code Section 65009, if you challenge the City Council’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 Cynthia Owens, Senior Management Analyst in the City Manager’s Office at 310.285.1026, or by email at cowens@beverlyhills.org. The case file, including associated documents are on file in the City Manager’s Office, and can be reviewed by any interested person at 455 North Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210.

Beverly Hills Discusses Possibility Of Leaving Southern California Edison By Matt Lopez Beverly Hills could soon leave Southern California Edison, opting instead to join other local jurisdictions as part of a Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) program that is growing throughout Los Angeles County. As part of the CCA, cities and districts pool their electricity needs together and purchase electricity on behalf of their residents and businesses. No decision is imminent on Beverly Hills’ behalf, but the City discussed the option at last Thursday’s City Council meeting and agreed to revisit it within the next few months. Earlier this year, L.A. County worked with several interested cities in developing a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA), called Los Angeles Community Choice Energy (LACCE). Thus far, the city of Rolling Hills Estates has approved a CCA Ordinance and the city of Calabasas intends to sign the JPA following a meeting in August.
This year, 32 Beverly Hills restaurants are participating in dineL.A. week. Among those are: The Belvedere, Spice Affair, Spago, Il Cielo, Avec Nous and newcomers to the City, such as The FLATS and Gratitude. For more information on participating restaurants, pricing and more, visit: https://www.discoverlosangeles.com/di nela-los-angeles-restaurant-week.
Following the creation of the JPA, a six-month window begins in which cities can opt-in as LACCE’s “initial participants.” That designation allows the city to not only join for free, but be part of the early decision-making process as a member of the JPA board. An L.A. County feasibility study done earlier this year estimated that rates for users of the LACCE would be approximately $4 lower than those of Edison. Residents and customers within a given city that joins the LACCE would always have the option to opt-out and continue their regular services with Edison. The City Council agreed it was an idea worth revisiting before the sixmonth original opt-in window expires. Councilmember Robert Wunderlich said he would like to observe the success of the initial LACCE rollout before making a decision, but said he was cautious of about how much of a “burden” the decision could place on residents. LITTLE LESLIE — Leslie is a 5-year old, 8-pound, Pomeranian/Chihuahua mix. She is available for adoption through the premiere non-profit, rescue-only pet store ShelterHopePetShop.org.

El Rodeo STEM Teacher Selected By Library Of Congress For National Initiative By Laura Coleman El Rodeo teacher Angela Brizuela has been selected from a pool of more than 300 applicants to participate in the Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources Summer Teacher Institute this month. El Rodeo Principal Kevin Allen extolled Brizuela – now going into her fourth year as a STEM teacher at the school – as an excellent educator. “She is a dynamic STEM teacher,” he described. “She inspires the kids; she’s the kind of teacher that every parent wants their kids to have.” Brizuela will participate in the nationwide five-day STEM initiative in Washington, DC from July 17-21 where she will hone her knowledge of using primary sources (original documents and objects that were created at the time of study) in the classroom. She will also have the opportunity to explore some of the millions of digitized historical artifacts and documents available on the Library’s website–a navigation process that she can subsequently translate back to the classroom. “I’ll get to bring back some vital information on how to use the Library of Congress for the kids,” she told the Courier. “I just think that will be a great resource for the kids of Beverly Hills.” In Washington, educators will participate in activities that draw on subject-related treasures of the Library, with an emphasis on such topics as the nature of science, scientific and engi-
neering practices, interdependence of science, technology and engineering, the historical context of discovery and invention. At El R o d e o , Brizuela Angela Brizuela teaches the mandatory 6th grade STEM class as well as the 7th and 8th grade STEM elective classes where students learn a science-heavy curriculum that includes robotics, programming, and computer design, among other topics. “You notice that they’re able to think critically and problem solve, mostly on their own,” she said of the benefits of STEM instruction. Allen said following Brizuela’s hire three years ago, there has been a marked uptick in the number of girls choosing the STEM elective. Last year Brizuela created a robotics team, with the inaugural team subsequently winning a regional award. “Teaching with primary sources is a powerful way to help students ask engaged, probing questions, develop critical-thinking skills and construct knowledge,” stated a representative from the Library of Congress.

‘Beverly Hills: 100 Years, 100 Stories’ To Screen At Academy Theater By Matt Lopez Beverly Hills filmmaker Phil Savenick received the go-ahead at last Tuesday’s City Council meeting to use the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Samuel Goldwyn Theater for a second, free screening of his Beverly Hills: 100 Years, 100 Stories documentary. Savenick created the film in 2014 with the help of Robbie Anderson and other City historians to release in conjunction with the City’s Centennial celebration. An initial screening was held in January 2015 at The Wallis. Savenick's Beverly Hills 100 Years, 100 Stories is an oral and visual history of the City from those who have lived it, shining a light on a bygone era of Beverly
Hills, where Rodeo Drive had a separate lane strictly for horses. Per an agreement with the Academy, Beverly Hills is able to use the theater for three City-sponsored events each year. One of those three events will be the annual City Council Installation, set for March 2018. The second planned event is a Maple Counseling Center fundraiser. Savenick’s screening, which received unanimous support from the City Council, will mark the third event. Last year’s third City event at the Academy theater was the Sing-Along with the Mayor concert. A proposed date of Sept. 14 has been tentatively scheduled for the Beverly Hills: 100 Years, 100 Stories screening.
SCOUTS GIVE BACK — Beverly Hills Boy Scout Pack 110 teamed up with other local youth from the Beverly Hills Police Explorer program on Father’s Day to sell bottled water at the Rodeo Drive Concours d’Elegance.

Next Beverly Hills Committee Eyeing Sept. 23 For ‘Next Night’ By Matt Lopez Next Night, an experimental block party that brings the millennials of Beverly Hills together for a night of dancing, shopping, dining and mingling, is set to return for a second year on Sept. 23. The idea was proposed at Tuesday’s City Council study session. Spearheaded by the Next Beverly Hills Committee – which was established in 2015 to engage Beverly Hills’ age 25-45 demographic – last year’s event included a live band, food trucks and several pop-up shops. This year, the Next Beverly Hills Committee is proposing to once again hold the gathering on the 200 block of South Beverly Drive, for a City-funded cost of $66,840 – almost double the cost of last year’s inaugural event. Ben Reiss, co-chair of the Next Beverly Hills Committee, said increased costs would go toward more kid-friendly activities, more tables and seating, another one or two non-competitive food
trucks, a larger beer and wine garden and improved retail signage and lighting. Among the larger expenditures on the Committee’s estimated budget are $14,000 for a lighting/truss system, $4,200 for an expanded lounge area in the beer garden, $4,500 for a live band and a total of $7,310 spent on a project manager, project coordinator and technical manager. The Committee is estimating anywhere from 2,500 to 3,500 visitors to South Beverly Drive for this year’s event, which is tentatively set for Sept. 23 from 6 to 11 p.m. Publisher’s Note: The Courier supports bringing increased food traffic to all our City’s businesses, but we were surprised to see the large amount of taxpayer money put toward this event. We hope the businesses on South Beverly Drive will report back with whether or not they feel the event was a success for their bottom line.
By Matt Lopez Paul Matt, chairman of MATT Construction – which recently completed the building of the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills – died last Friday afternoon at 85 after a battle with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Co-founded in 1991 with his son Steve, Matt’s MATT Construction has been responsible for the development of some of Los Angeles’ most iconic buildings. In addition to the Waldorf Astoria, MATT Construction is responsible for the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, the recently-revamped Petersen Automotive Museum, the Skirball Cultural Center, The Broad, the LACMA’s Resnick Pavilion, the Broad Contemporary Art Museum, the Wilshire Boulevard Temple and the Hollywood Bowl. Matt set his sights on a career in construction while working as a welder
on the Dalles Dam after serving in the U.S. Air Force. He started out as a surveyor for the George A. Fuller Co. Paul Matt and, in 1962, was promoted to job superintendent for the Salk Institute in San Diego, designed by the legendary architect Louis Kahn. Matt is survived by his second wife, Cathy. He was preceded in death by his first wife Evelyn, mother of his children Steven, Colleen and Neil. He is also survived by 11 grandchildren, four brothers and a sister. Funeral services will be private, followed by a public celebration of his life later in July.

LAX Airport’s ‘Pup’ Program Takes Stress Out Of Flying With
Canine Companions
PARADE GOES MARCHING — The Holmby Westwood Property Owners Association enjoyed another successful Independence Day celebration on July 4. The day of fun included a parade, kids games, food and refreshments.
By Matt Lopez LAX is taking a bite out of the fear of flying with a dogcentric new program that is sure to leave even the most stressed out passenger howling with happiness. Pets Unstressing Passengers (PUP) gives airplane passengers an opportunity to relieve stress and receive comfort from adorable dogs who will greet and spend time with them before a flight. Therapy dogs and handlers roam the departure levels in each terminal, visiting passen-
gers awaiting flights and providing comfort, along with airport information. In addition to the stress relief, the handlers will inform passengers about LAX projects and construction-related traffic impacts. The dogs wear red “Pet Me!” vests and handlers wear bright red t-shirts, so they are easily identifiable. For more information on the program and on how to become a PUP handler, e-mail Heidi Huber at hhuebner @lawa.org.
Hollywood Actors, Producers Reach Three-Year Agreement To Avoid Possible Strike Actors and producers reached an agreement on a new three-year contract this week, avoiding a possible strike. Representatives of the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists said their deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers achieved significant gains for their members. "This is a forward-looking package with meaningful gains across our entire membership," SAG-AFTRA President and
negotiating committee chair Gabrielle Carteris said. "Working with our terrific negotiating committee and staff, we achieved significant improvements in streaming new media compensation. We also established comprehensive travel guidelines to eliminate ambiguity and provide a seasonal fee schedule for location series work." The deal was reached at around 5:45 a.m. Tuesday after extended negotiations following the expiration of the old contract on June 30.
It includes annual wage raises of 2.5 percent, 3 percent and 3 percent over the next three years. The overall value of the deal was pegged at $256 million, outpacing the previous contract's value of $200 million. Negotiations were conducted at the AMPTP headquarters in Sherman Oaks. The SAG/AFTRA membership still has to vote on the deal before it can go into effect. –– City News Service

HOW DO Y O U F E E L ? CHLA Blood Supply Low, Donations Needed Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) is experiencing a blood shortage and in need of donations of all blood types and platelets. During the summer months and holidays blood donations decrease, and this year’s blood inventory has reached critical levels. “We need blood donations year-round to help us care for our patients,” says Dr. Ajay Perumbeti, director of Transfusion Medicine. “We strongly encourage members of our community to please make an appointment with us to donate. Tell your friends, family members and co-workers to join you so that you can make a difference and possibly save a child’s life.” CHLA’s goal is to attract 65 donors each day during July to replenish its blood and platelet supply. On average, CHLA patients need 2,000
units of blood and blood components each month as part of the life-saving care the hospital provides. Donors must be 17 years of age or older (photo ID required) and weigh at least 110 pounds. They must also meet criteria for recent travelers. To schedule an appointment, call 323-3612441, or book a time online at www.chladonateblood.org The CHLA Blood Donor Center is open from 6 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Monday-Friday, and from 6 a.m.-1:30 p.m., Saturdays. The CHLA bloodmobile can work with community members, organizations, schools and companies to sponsor mobile blood drives with 40 or more donors.

Santa Monica Physician Group Affiliates With Providence Saint John’s Health Center On Wednesday, Providence Health & Services announced the affiliation of Santa Monica Family Physicians, 24 doctors whose organization has long served Santa Monica and surrounding Westside communities. Formerly the Santa Monica Bay Physicians, the group of primary care physicians and internists has joined the newly formed Saint John’s Medical Foundation and will practice at Providence Saint John’s Health Center. Many of the members also will continue to see patients at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. This new affiliation is in line with Providence’s goal to expand quality health care in the communities it serves. “We’re excited to be joining Providence,” said Mark Needham, M.D., one of the leaders of the physician group. “We have seen the kind of care Providence Saint John’s provides. We want that comprehensive, highly caring and coordinated approach to health care for our patients when they’re in the hospital.” Four of the member physicians, all of whom had residencies together, created the physicians’ group in 1985. They have served the Westside and have had a long-time association with Providence Saint John’s. “This premier group of health care providers is well respected and will play a significant role as we seek to expand access to the best possible health care,” said Erik Wexler, chief executive of Providence Saint Joseph Health, Los Angeles Region. “By affiliating with this family physician group, Providence is furthering its goal to provide affordable comprehensive, coordinated care for all ages.” The group will initially have offices in Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades and Playa Vista, expanding quality primary care to the neighborhoods served by Providence Saint John’s for 75 years. Providence has more than 500 affiliated physicians from the South Bay north to Santa Clarita who are aligned with the six Providence medical centers in Los Angeles County. This new affiliation will equip Santa Monica Family Physician Group with a management services program to provide operating and administrative support for clinical operations. The partnership is aimed in part at expanding services, recruiting new physicians and adding new locations.

Temple Emanuel, Temple Isaiah Celebrate ChaiVillageLA’s First Anniversary Last week, Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills and Temple Isaiah celebrated the first anniversary of ChaiVillageLA, the nation’s first synagoguebased village, with a ceremony at the temple. Event keynote speaker L.A. City Attorney Mike Feuer talked about ChaiVillageLA as a model for replication throughout the city, noting that “it will create a ripple effect throughout this pond that is our city.” The event drew 180 guests to celebrate the addition to the changing paradigm of aging.
Part of a rapidly growing national Village movement, ChaiVillageLA is a social venture of neighbors helping neighbors—a notion that enables people to continue living in their homes and communities as they age. The goal of ChaiVillageLA is for village members to provide each other the programs, services and resources needed to enable them to live healthier and more engaged lives.

By Sam Schwartz Most students use the summer months to take a welldeserved break from all things school related, but this is not the case for the new student representative to the Beverly Hills Unified School District (BHUSD) Board of Education, Beverly Hills High senior Jonathan Artal. Since being elected in May through a schoolwide election, Artal has been regularly attending meetings, passionately advocating for students and learning the ropes to the district’s complex political system. “I felt that the position offered a unique opportunity to be active in my own education and community. From helping set academic policy to discussing issues that are important to students, I believed that the role would let me shape and improve students’ experiences and discover the “behind-thescenes” of education. Relatively few school districts offer a student board member position, so I wanted to take advantage of how seriously BHUSD values the student voice,” said Artal. Artal is no stranger to actively participating in the school community. He is president of BHHS’s competitive Model United Nations club, founder of the By Your Side club — a group that promotes toler-

ance and provides companionship to kids with special needs — and plays on the varsity water polo team. Artal was also junior class president and member of the BHHS Site Council. In his new capacity, Artal hopes to help his peers get involved as well. “As a board member, I really want to expand students’ role in the district,” Artal said. “That includes not only bringing to light issues that many students are concerned about, but also facilitating communication between the students, staff, and administration. Many students are unaware of developments in areas such as construction, the budget, and the Metro situation, so helping inform them of what’s going on would allow for a more active and aware student population.”
Artal has learned and adjusted swiftly to his new role, saying, “My first couple of board meetings were a really new and interesting experience. I had to catch up on some board procedures and some facts about the district and budget, but Superintendent Bregy and my fellow board members have been more than helpful in allowing me to get acclimated to the process. Now that I’ve had a few weeks to settle in, I feel much more comfortable in the role.” Superintendent Michael Bregy quickly recognized Artal’s value to the board, remarking: “His intelligence and ability to think through a situation is one of his many skills. Jonathan knows how to work with people of all ages, and when all is said and done, this is a requisite skill for working on a Board of Education.” Artal will serve as the student board member until May 2018. Note from the author: As previous Student Board Member, I can attest to the fact that the position is a job learned through experience—there is no tutorial, no prior briefing, and certainly no informational booklet that can prepare a 16 year old high school senior for the role.

Agen-C plans to hire digital influencers – meaning bloggers with large social media followings in the fashion and beauty industries – to help promote the Businesses Open Later Days (B.O.L.D) Initiative hitting Rodeo Drive this summer. Other plans call for a “B.O.L.D Holiday” program, which would be an eight-week incentivized shopping program this Holiday season. Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday for those eight weeks,

that the school district wants removed. At last Thursday’s City Council meeting, Superintendent Michael Bregy agreed to provide the City Council with a detailed breakdown of district expenditures and how it correlates to the need to increase to the JPA. At last Friday’s special board meeting, where school board members discussed whether to extend the JPA between two to six months, or not at all, former Board of Education presidents Alissa Roston and AJ Wilmer both expressed their concern about the troubled JPA negotiations between the school district and the City. “Our schools are an integral part of the community and we do need that extra help

From those posts, 10 winners per day would be chosen to receive a $100 Rodeo Drive gift card.

from the City,” Roston said. “You have changed the dialogue on the JPA to some extent and I’m not sure that’s the correct thing to do,” opined Wilmer. “It’s become more adversarial.” Board President Mel Spitz and Boardmember Isabel Hacker both voiced support to extend the JPA by six months, which was not supported by their three colleagues. Last month’s duo of JPA liaison meetings consisting of Vice Mayor Julian Gold, Councilman John Mirisch, Board VP Lisa Korbatov and Goldstein were remarkably discordant, with the elected officials often speaking over each other. “We need to do what’s best for kids,” board member Noah Margo reminded his colleagues before voting for a two-month extension.
RHEA WORMS
(continued from page 1)
USC where she studied retail and marketing. “I had a good time for a year and then I decided to get married to somebody from Pittsburgh who came out here on a vacation,” she recounted. Following a year of letterwriting, the young man made his way back out West to formally woo Rhea. Two weeks later they were married, and at 21 years old, Rhea gave birth to twin daughters, Sandy and Sema, and became a housewife and mother back East in Squirrel Hill. Her husband was plagued with a heart condition, which eventually prompted the two to return to California for the state’s milder winters. A couple years later, the two divorced. “I was the first one in my family to ever get a divorce,” she recounted. She reentered the dating world, which wasn’t quite as terrifying as her mother had led her to believe it would be. In fact, one of the men she dated, who owned a real estate company, even gave her a job. “We went on a few dates and one day I asked him if he had any room for a receptionist who couldn’t type and who couldn’t take shorthand, and he said, ‘I have something else in mind for you. I want you to go to real estate school,’” she recounted.
True to his word, after she graduated, he gave her a job in the land acquisitions department. She stayed there for a few years ago before once again becoming housewife. Not too long after her divorce, a man whom she and her first husband had been friendly with also divorced, and asked Rhea out on a date. A year later the two were married and spent the next 25 years living together in their Beverly Hills home before he passed away. “He was a doll,” she described. “When he passed away I was devastated.” However, Rhea had many good friends who were determined that life would go on and six months later she was introduced to the man who became the love of her life, Lewis Worms. Rhea recalled: “We went together for five years; and people were shocked when they received the wedding invitation because he was never getting married again.” Following their wedding at University Synagogue, the couple who’d introduced them treated them to a special dinner party at their restaurant, Maple Drive. Rhea’s brother and sister-in-law subsequently threw them a fabulous bash at Hillcrest Country Club for some 150 guests. The two spent 17 years together before Lewis passed
BEVERLY HILLS away, going on 15 Crystal Cruises and traveling all around the world. “It was a fairy tale marriage,” she described. “It was just a major love affair. He completed my life. He really did. And when he passed away, I knew that I would never, ever date again. Who could top him?” And while the great love chapter of her life may be closed, Rhea continues to revel in life. Indeed she is a font of positivity and warmth. With two wonderful daughters, four grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren, along with many close friends, Rhea’s life remains incredibly full. Every Saturday night, for example, she has a standing date with one of her closest girlfriends. And throughout the week she plays Mahjong and Pan and of course, has fun dinners with friends. She also part of a movie group. “I think it’s very important to have friends,” she said. Her unstoppable zest for all things Beverly Hills still continues and she frequently shops in the City’s boutiques and has lunches with her pals, just as she has done throughout the decades. In fact, she has been seeing the same hairstylist at Serge Beverly Hills, Steven, for over 40 years. “I love Beverly Hills, it’s my home,” she said.

Local Author Sharon Insul’s Children’s Book Trilogy Tells Of Two ‘Lucky’ Sisters Resident Sharon Insul, former owner of the stylish boutique Candle light and..., that occupied a spot on Cañon Drive for 17 years, is known for her tablescaping expertise, blog and web presence. Now, she’s making a name for herself as a children’s author. Her trilogy, I Am Sooo Lucky! is selling on the internet at signings and presentations at book stores, and Insul’s become a popular figure at local elementary schools—she’s a three-time reader at Hawthorne. The three books tell the story of Emily and her little sister Abigail (Abby). Insul’s inspiration came from watching a friend’s two young daughters, also named Emily and Abigail. “I watched Emily’s reaction to a new baby and that’s where my head went,” says Insul. “I knew I would write a book. I didn’t know there’d be two sequels.” The first book introduces the 3-yearold big sister Emil, enjoying her role and waiting for her little sister to grow up. In the second book, the sisters are older and Abby starts to become an individual in her own right. In the third installment, as a reward for being so “understanding and responsible” with her little sister, Emily gets to plan her own fifth birthday party. “With so much ugliness in the world, children need to learn kindness,” says Insul, “and hopefully some will stick. Emily learns to show compassion by sharing her toys and teaching Abby things she’s learned at school, so then she’s ‘sooo lucky’ to organize her party.” But even at the party, Emily presents a gift she made for Abby. “So it’s not all about the birthday girl,” Insul adds. “It’s a learning process for two children, a couple of years apart,” says Insul, “who learn to adjust and love each other.” While the book is appropriate for all children, it’s especially relevant for little girls when a second child is on the way. “These books can help circumvent some of the jealousy, which is not unusual if someone else is taking up your space,” says Insul. “It’s all how you present it.” What’s the appeal for Insul? “Children’s books are timeless,” she says, “with great stories and often big

colorful illustrations.” Insul enjoyed creating all the innocent, childlike art for her books. And the 24-year resident, whose one daughter attended Beverly Vista, is a strong advocate for reading books. “Children are spending way too much time on their computers.” The books are available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and IndieBound.org.—Steve Simmons

Joan Mangum It was as if Monet took his brush to canvas and I walked into the center of his picture... The beauty, elegance, sophistication and color was brought to life at the beautiful Summer Hat Luncheon given by Poppy Paulos and Mara New at the Beverly Hills Women’s Club. The invitation read... “Wear your favorite summer hat,” and I can definitely say all the women did just that and it was sensational. A champagne reception started off
the luncheon while photographer Jeff Knight photographed the women in and around the interior and gardens... We felt so glamorous... A delicious lunch was prepared by Chef Kurt Erlich, former chef at The White House and Summer White House to Presidents Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon... Needless to say very little or nothing was left on our plates. A contest for the best hats was topped by Agnes-Nicole Winter, the grand prize winner, while other winners were Margot Thomas, Paula Edelman, Enid Rom, Ratu Muda (which means princess in Indonesian) Karen Cantrell and yours truly.

The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the County where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (916)939-0772 or visit this Internet Web http://search.nationwideposting.com/propertySearchTe rms.aspx, using the file number assigned to this case B550069 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 sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s attorney. Date: T.D. Service Company 4000 W. Metropolitan Drive, Ste 400 Orange, CA 92868 T.D.

Guest Editorial By Thomas A. White & Fred A. Fenster
THE QUEST FOR TRANSPARENCY One of the benefits of the smaller size of municipal government is our ability, as residents and voters, to act locally to bring about improvements which will cause the democratic process to be more transparent and responsive, and encourage greater access and Thomas A. White participation by our community. It is towards those objectives that the Sunshine Task Force was initiated several years ago by then Mayor John Mirisch, and which continues now under Mayor Lili Bosse’s chairmanship, with Councilmember Mirisch as co-chair. While the initial participants were appointed by the mayor, and later each of our members of the City Council, the Sunshine Task Force is open to any resident who wishes to participate and contribute, or to simply observe. Like other government meetings, the schedule is published in advance, and anyone may register to receive its agendas by e-mail. Members of the Board of Governors of the Municipal League of Beverly Hills have been active participants in the Sunshine Task Force since its inception. We recently suggested some enhancements to the City’s information disclosure policies concerning the City Council’s closed session agendas pertaining to meetings in which the public is specifically excluded. Generally, all meetings of elected and appointed officials in California are open to the public and must be noticed and published in advanced. However, under the Ralph M. Brown Act, certain subjects which affect our residents and taxpayers, such as real estate negotiations, personnel matters, litigation and labor negotiations, are exempt from both observation and comment by the public during these closed session meetings. Those permitted to be present are typically only the five councilmembers, and senior City staff and advisors. The council may enter into resolutions and binding commitments in closed session, which can have a material impact on the City’s rights, finances and policies – matters which can affect our residential quality of life and other important and far reaching aspects of our community. While the City Council’s private decisions may be disclosed later, they have historically remained obscured or arcane for long periods. In at least one instance, the council demonstrated the effects which closed session non-disclosure can have. After the public had participated in a long and heated City Council chamber’s hearing on increasing employee compensation, it was unintentionally admitted that the council had already
privately entered into a binding closed session commitment with the relevant labor union. This obligation rendered any public hearing not only conspicuously misleading and an obvious waste of valuable time and resources, but knowingly converted the Fred A. Fenster normal democratic process into an embarrassing staged theatrical performance, which exposed the entire process as completely preempted and truly superfluous. Even if the council had been persuaded then to reconsider its decision because of important new testimony or facts presented, they were nevertheless prohibited from modifying the contract terms they had agreed among themselves in closed session. Fortunately, a subsequent change in City policy should obviate any such reoccurrence on labor contracts. The Municipal League recently proposed some policy changes to the manner in which closed session agenda’s have been prepared for publication online, through e-mail notifications and in print postings at the city clerk’s office and at the Beverly Hills Public Library. With the cooperation of the city attorney, and the approval of the City Council, such closed session agendas now permit our residents and voters to know whether the real property being negotiated is for acquisition or sale by the City, or to be leased for municipal needs or to a third party renter. For the first time, litigation will not only be cited by case name and number, but also identify the basic nature of the dispute itself. Likewise, our community will know by its last approval date which union labor agreement is proposed for extension and/or renegotiation. Previously, closed session agendas appeared on the City’s website a few days before the closed session meeting, and unlike other regular meeting agendas, were then promptly and permanently removed. As a result of our efforts and the willingness of the council, closed session agendas are now archived for easy 24/4 public access at beverlyhills.org. While what has been accomplished is not a seismic shift, it does provide an important example, and an identifiable improvement towards achieving more responsive government and a more informed community. With incremental steps like these, Beverly Hills can become better and be truer to the image it wishes to project to others. Thomas A White is chairman of the Municipal League of Beverly Hills’ Board of Governors while Fred A. Fenster serves on the board
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Being a senior, senior citizen, I often find myself thinking about the good old days. For example, throughout my career in management and as a business owner, the rule was–any employee who blackmailed you with the threat of leaving unless they were given an increase in their compensation, was immediately directed to the exit door. And if said employee was part of an administration that fed and nurtured a $5+ million debt, he or she would have
been gone the moment a new “boss” entered the picture. Unfortunately in this City, we reward and promote this kind of behavior. When it was discovered a company's revenue was shrinking, the fat at the top was cut--and those remaining had to roll up their sleeves and tightened their belts. In our City, we increase the fat at the top and fire those who actually do the work–the teachers of our children. I say bring back the good
old days, when a superintendent swept and mopped the floors, cleaned the toilets and kept the buildings sparkling. Robert Block The Courier Welcomes Letters To The Editor

Astrology By Holiday Mathis TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (July 7). The next three months present games and risk; keep at it and you'll become a master. September brings a lucky break. November shows you inseparable from your team. Together you'll execute an important mission. January shifts the focus to self-improvement, especially in the area of health and lifestyle. Leo and Virgo adore you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). A loved one will figure into your work scenario and may be the key that unlocks the next professional level. Even so, ultimately it's your work and your being that will make the situation great for all. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Whom should I know? Many don't ask such questions, out of shyness or a lack of foresight. But you realize that in order to move and shake things, you need to get to know the current movers and shakers. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You've already come far in life with emotional development and maturity beyond your years. With all you'll gain over the next three weeks, you'll rise to yet another level of wisdom. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You're creative. You don't need to have the best things in order to make the best of things. Also, many who already have the best can't see it. You'll help them see it. So, you'll make them a little jealous, too. It can't be helped. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You'll become so immersed in these adventures that you'll find there is no longer room for the anxiety and fear you once felt. You'll channel your energy into exciting new endeavors. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You enjoy getting quality attention, and you know how to hold and play with that, too. You also cherish your private time. Today you'll prefer to recharge in solitude. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There's no time to waste in anger. Forgive quickly; forget easily. There is so much fun and play to be had! Tonight sees you laughing until your cheeks hurt. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Just because they ask doesn't mean you have to answer. Why do they want to know? It's not like you're applying for a security clearance or running for office today. You're allowed to be as mysterious as you want to be. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). Liking yourself may not be enough today. You've plenty of reasons to be madly, deeply in love. Anyway, what would you do differently in that case? How would you advocate for yourself? ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr.19). Today will be all right. In the English-language sense of it, this phrase covers a wide variety of meanings (many of which will apply): “just ok”; “spectacular”; “here's a counter offer”; “agreed”; and “yes.” TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). You can't see time, although, if you wait long enough, there will be quite a lot of physical evidence that it was here. To experience time more vividly, positively and fully, plant a seed. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There's someone you want to know better, but you're not sure how you should approach. Better to repel someone by being who you are than attract them by being who you're not.
