Beverly Hills City Council Bans Electric Scooters For Six Months

By Victoria Talbot The Beverly Hills City Council on Tuesday approved an Urgency Ordinance to, at least temporarily, ban shared mobility devices, including the popular electric scooters, effective immediately.

Councilmembers reacted negatively to the rollout of the scooters – primarily by companies Bird and Lime – without consulting the City first so that potential accidents could have been prevented.

The six-month ban passed with a 4-1 vote in favor with Vice Mayor John Mirisch opposing, meeting the fourth-fifths requirement for an Urgency Ordinance.

The new ordinance prohibits shared mobility devices from being placed or operated in any public

right-of-way, or on public property, and prohibits them from being offered for use anywhere within Beverly Hills.

The ordinance defines these vehicles as “any wheeled device other than an automobile or motorcycle, that is powered by a motor; is accessed via an on-demand porta, whether smartphone application, membership card, or similar method; is operated by a private entity that owns, manages and maintains the devices for shared use by members of the public; and is available to members of the public in unstaffed, self-service locations, except for those locations which are designated by the City.” (see ‘ELECTRIC SCOOTERS’ page 17)

North Santa Monica Construction Update

By Victoria Talbot The North Santa Monica Boulevard reconstruction project is drawing slowly to an end, but changes have extended the completion date, originally estimated to be July 23, with striping completed by the end of August.

Traffic lanes will continue to be limited to one lane in each direction during work hours Thermoplastic striping and pavement thermoplastic markings are expected to be installed by the end of next week. All striping work is scheduled at night, 8 p.m. – 6 a.m.

Side streets, from west to east, will continue to be closed to achieve the best paving results, one segment at a time.

Nine raised crosswalks that were approved by the City Council last October, will con-

nect the Beverly Gardens Parks with a safer crossing experience, at an additional cost of $1.8 million. These are expected to be completed by the end of the month.

Bright green bike lanes should be completed by the end of August due to a delay in the shipping for the striping material. The striping should begin in the last week of July and will take approximately one month to complete.

The City Council authorized the installation of fiber optic cable and IT equipment June 19 with an additional cost of $1.3 million on the new street light poles that will take approximately four months to complete.

The total authorized budget for the project is $22.8 million. Actual expenditures through May 31 are $17.9 million.

Beverly Hills Police To Hold National Night Out Block Party August 7

By Victoria Talbot The Beverly Hills Police Department will be out in force for National Night Out on Tuesday, August 7, with live demonstrations and displays, kid-friendly activities and a host of fun for the entire family.

National Night Out, which has been held annually since 1984 in the United States and Canada, began as a community-police awareness campaign with neighbors simply turning on their porch lights and sitting in front of their homes.

Since those early days, the event has evolved in some cities to be as simple as backyard barbecues and in others, as complex as full-blown festivals.

In Beverly Hills, National Night Out is a block party, and everyone is invited.

Visitors will be able to meet Police Chief Sandra Spagnoli and Assistant Chief Marc Coopwood and take selfies

with the SWAT and K9 officers or check out the Mobile Command Unit.

Come to meet the men and women who protect the City; stay for the fire displays, the “dunk tank,” food trucks, the Quake Cottage, crime prevention information, CPR displays, disaster and health & safety information and much more.

“National Night Out is an opportunity for the community to interact with the department one-on-one,” Spagnoli said. “It is our premier event every year to showcase police and community together.”

National Night Out will be held in the 400-block of North Rexford Drive in front of City Hall from 6 – 9 p.m. Free parking is available at the Rexford and Crescent Parking Structures. For more information, contact bhpdinfo@beverlyhills.org.

Beverly Hills Collaborates With Artist Alexa Meade For BOLD Art

A SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS BIRTHDAY!– It was a small world indeed last weekend at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, where residents and friends joined in a tribute performance to celebrate the 90th birthday of one of America’s most beloved music-makers, Richard Sherman. Noted for the Grammy Award and Academy Award-winning Mary Poppins score, the Sherman Brothers were also Grammy-nominated for six other scores and won another Grammy for Winnie The Pooh. They were nominated seven more times for an Oscar and five times for the Golden Globe Award. They also wrote the globally-recognized theme for Disney’s It’s a Small World for the 1964 New York World’s Fair exhibit.

Man Accused Of Destroying Trump’s Hollywood Star Turns Himself In To Beverly Hills Police

By Matt Lopez The man accused of destroying President Donald Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Wednesday morning ended up turning himself in to the Beverly Hills Police Department.

Police responded to a call of a man vandalizing the star at about 3:30 a.m. on Wednesday morning. Witnesses said they spotted a man wielding a pickaxe and demolishing the star.

By the time LAPD officers arrived, the star assailant was gone. About an

hour later, however, Austin Clay, 24, walked into the Beverly Hills Police Department and turned himself in.

Soon after, according to Officer Tony Im of the Los Angeles Police Department, LAPD officers arrived and arrested him on suspicion of felony vandalism.

This is the second time in two years that Trump's star has been vandalized.

In October 2016, a man dressed as a construction worker smashed the star with a pickaxe and sledgehammer.

HEALTH AND SAFETY VIOLATIONS – A vermin infestation has caused the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health to post a Notice of Closure at Nespresso at 320 N. Beverly Dr. “The health and safety of our customers is a priority for us. We take these issues very seriously and we are taking action to fix the affected areas and prevent them from happening in the future,” said Jeff Evans, Boutique Special Events manager for Southern California. It is anticipated that the boutique will resolve the issues and reopen for the weekend.

Beverly Hills Resident Ursula Levi Dies At 85

By Laura Coleman Longtime Beverly Hills resident Ursula Levi (nee Feldberg) died Saturday, June 9 at 85 from ovarian cancer. Regarded for her beauty, warmth and generosity, Ursula was beloved by friends and family alike.

Born Jan. 26, 1933 in Stettin, Germany, six years later in 1939, together with her twin sister Betsy and parents, Ursula escaped Nazi Germany and fled to the United States, taking a banana boat through the Panama Canal to arrive in San Pedro, California.

Ursula’s other German relatives ended up being sent to Dachau.

In America, Ursula made friends quickly. At school she and Betsy received special attention, as twins were quite a novelty back then. While living on Crescent Drive, Ursula attended Hawthorne school, subsequently graduating from Beverly Hills High School (BHHS) and matriculating at UCLA, where she was a member of Sigma Delta Tau sorority and graduated with a degree in education.

In 1954 she married Myron “Mike” Levi, whom she remained married to until his death in 2010. After starting a family in West Los Angeles, they moved to Beverly Hills, with Ursula quickly becoming active in the PTSA at

Hawthorne and BHHS. To g e t h e r with her husband, Ursula was an avid supporter of Boxer Rescue of Los Angeles and loved to have Boxers as pets. She could often be seen walking one of her Boxer dogs in the streets in the neighborhood she so much loved.

Ursula helped form the “The Friends of the Beverly Hills Library,” where she helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars selling used books.

She was also a frequent visitor to the fire station, waking up early to help serve breakfast to the City’s fire fighters.

In her working years, she was a realtor for Harleigh Sandler, Merrill Lynch and Prudential, always finding joy in helping young realtors start out.

She is survived by son Michael, his wife Lori and their children Rachel and Jonathan; daughter Lori, her husband Billy Don Jackson and their children Trevor and Taylor; sister Betsy Kaplan; niece Bettina and her husband Erich Strohmaier; nephew Brad and his wife Erin Kaplan; and her friend Bert Levy.

By Laura Coleman In concert with Beverly Hills going “BOLD” for the month of August in an effort to energize the City’s nightlife culture, local L.A. artist Alexa Meade will be live painting upon models’ bodies on two evenings as part of the slated programming.

“It is so electrifying and invigorating to watch art come alive in front of our very eyes [and] such fun to be part of a magical and vibrant experience that is out of the box, visionary and exciting,” said City Councilwoman Lili Bosse, who launched BOLD (Beverly Hills Open Later Days) last summer during her second term as mayor.

Meade, who just finished working on Ariana Grande’s new music video, will be doing two live art installations next month in Beverly Hills – the first, on Friday, Aug. 4, will take place in Beverly Canon Gardens from 5 to 8 p.m. and the second is set for the same time on Saturday, Aug. 18 in front of the Paley Center for Media.

“It’s incredible to see how she paints directly onto models, adding shadows to their features, making them literally seem to pop out of the set she creates with painted props,” described Lauren Lynch, communications manager for the Beverly Hills Conference & Visitors Bureau. “This is such a fantastic collaboration for BOLD.” Meade told the Courier that her first live art installation would feature summer rooftop pool scenes in celebration

Alexa Meade’s “Swimming Along”

of all the rooftop pools in Beverly Hills.

“It’s going to be as if you’re in a pool cabana,” she said of the twodimensional scene she envisions creating using people and props set against the Beverly Hills skyline.

For her second installation on Aug. 18, Meade said she looked directly to the Paley Center for inspiration and decided to create a Hollywood “Red Carpet” scene where she will be painting directly onto people, clothes and objects to create a unique two-dimensional installation.

Hollywood Roundup – Film and TV News radio psychiatrist Dr. Frasier Crane, is moving toward possibly rebooting the 37-time Emmy-winning series, Frasier.

Deadline's Nellie Andreeva reports that a potential reboot is in the “exploratory stages” but would likely be set in a new city.

Deadwood is set to return as a film on HBO.

HBO announced this week that it has green-lit a movie version of Deadwood, the drama that ran for three seasons and ended in 2006, picking up 28 Emmy nominations along the way.

According to HBO programming president Casey Blows, the film is aiming for a spring 2019 release date.

“I wanted a script that would stand on its own,” Bloys said, according to Variety. “I’m happy to say that [series creator David Milch] totally delivered on that. It’s a terrific script.”

Deadwood took place in the 1870s, centered around Deadwood, South Dakota, charting the community’s growth from a camp to a town. The cast included Ian McShane, Timothy Olyphant and Molly Parker.

••• Good afternoon, Seattle - Frasier’s listening... again?

That just might be the case, according to Deadline Hollywood, which reported Wednesday that the beloved sitcom is potentially on track for a reboot.

Following in the heels of successful resurrections of series' like Roseanne and Will & Grace, executive producer Kelsey Grammer, who played eccentric

Dr. Frasier Crane could soon be back on the “airwaves.”

••• James Gunn was removed this week as director of the Guardians of the Galaxy film series after several of his old social media posts were uncovered, that made light of subjects like rape and pedophilia.

Marvel abruptly cut ties with Gunn, whose tweets included satirical jokes about not only rape and pedophilia, but the 9/11 attack and the Holocaust.

It was assumed, but never officially announced, that Gunn would direct the third installment of Guardians of the Galaxy, after last summer's sequel crossed $863 million worldwide, an uptick from the original's $773 million.

Pacific Union Taps Bret Parsons To Open Architectural Office In Hancock Park

Home Prices Still On The Rise In L.A. County, But Sales Drop

By Victoria Talbot Leading Los Angeles architectural expert Bret Parsons has been tapped by Pacific Union International to head up its new Hancock Park office, specializing in elite, architecturally significant properties.

Parsons is the acclaimed author of Colcord Home, Gordon B. Kaufman and soon to be announced, Roland E. Coate, three volumes of a 12volume series entitled Master Architects of Southern California 1920-1940.

Parsons’ vision for an architecturally-oriented real estate office has been brewing throughout his long career. He was the Director of the Architectural Division for Coldwell Banker Beverly Hills North before joining Pacific Union International.

“I’m delighted to join forces with Pacific Union in opening this new office,” said Parsons.

“Pacific Union International President Mark McLaughlin green-lighted the first real estate office of its kind.

I’ve long had my sights on creating the finest architecturallycentric and communityfocused real estate office.”

The median price of a home in Los Angeles County rose by 8 percent in June, compared with the same month a year earlier, a real estate information service announced Tuesday.

According to CoreLogic, the median price of a Los Angeles County home was $615,000 last month, up from $569,250 in June 2017. A total of 7,569 homes were sold in the county, down 13.5 percent from 8,751 during the same month the previous year.

In Orange County, the median price was $739,000 last month, up 6 percent from $697,000 in June 2017. The number of homes sold dropped by 8.5 percent, from 3,804 in June 2017 to 3,482 last month.

A total of 22,706 new and resale houses and condos changed hands in Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, Ventura, San Bernardino and Orange counties last month, according to CoreLogic. That was down 1.1 percent from 22,948 in May, and down 11.8 percent from 25,738 in June 2017.

Bret Parsons

Parsons will also spearhead the launch of Pacific Union’s Architectural Division in Southern California.

His love of architectural homes began in childhood, according to an article published last year in the Los Angeles Times. As a child he persuaded his parents to take him on house tours. He served as a marketing director for the Pacific Design Center before becoming a residential loan agent.

Thus, he began writing as a means to honor and preserve the homes he so revered.

After authoring his first book, Colcord Home on the architecture of Gerard Colcord, he transitioned to become a real estate agent.

The new office is appropri-

ately located at 156 Larchmont, the historic Keystone Building in Larchmont Village. It is a “designated division to market the sale of ‘architecturals’ via trained and dedicated real estate professions,” said Parsons.

The office will provide specific financing for architectural homes, act as a resource center for professional services, provide access to an architecture and design library, and act as a travel agency to coordinate tours of architectural and design destinations domestically and internationally.

Parsons will also bring back the popular Architecture & Design Lecture Series this fall, which was established in 2011 at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, featuring dynamic speakers 6-8 times per year.

“Bret is a master of marketing and selling architecturally significant homes, and his leadership is an exciting milestone in our expansion across Southern California,” said Pacific Union International Southern California President Nick Segal.

a record $536,250 in June, up 1.2 percent from $530,000 in May and up 7.3 percent from $500,000 in June 2017.

“A portion of last month's year-over-year sales decline reflects one less business day for deals to be recorded compared with June 2017,” said Andrew LePage, research analyst with CoreLogic. “But affordability and inventory constraints are likely the main culprits in last month's sales slowdown, which applied to all six of the region's counties and across most of the major price categories.”

In Riverside County, the median price of a home rose by 7 percent in June, compared with the same month a year earlier. The median price of a Riverside County home was $380,000 last month, up from $355,000 in June 2017.

San Diego County saw a similar rise, by 5.5 percent in June, compared with the same month a year earlier.

The median price of a San Diego County home was $575,000 last month, up from $545,000 in June 2017.

Fenster has steadfastly held that Christiansen’s actions violated the purpose of Gov. Code Section 1090 because independent contractors, such as Christiansen, who are in a position to influence public contracting decisions are prohibited by Section 1090 from having a financial interest in the contracts they play a role in making.

Fenster said that now that the case is slated to return to the trial court, the district intends to file a Motion for Summary Judgment on the grounds that Strategic Concepts violated Government Code Section 1090 as a matter of law, and the that award of the contract to Karen Christiansen and Strategic Concept was void due to the failure to submit it to competitive bidding.

“The district anticipates the motion will be granted,” Fenster predicted.

ARTS & E N T E RTA I N M E N T Documentary On WWII Hero, Psychoanalyst Dr. Bernard Bail To Be Screened Sunday Dr Bernard Bail was a lead Air Force radar navigator who was captured by the Nazis and incarcerated during World War II; he was saved by the secret love of a German nurse and went on to become a pioneering psychoanalyst.

Director Jill Demby Guest has turned his story into a new documentary And Now Love that will be screened at 2 p.m., Sunday, July 29 at the Beverly Hills Public Library Auditorium, 444 N. Rexford Dr. “His is an inspiring story,” says Demby Guest. “He had seen the worst of the world in war and turned those negative experiences around for the betterment of mankind.”

Narrated by actor Peter Coyote, the film dramatizes Bail’s being shot down over Nazi Germany on his 25th mission.

“I thought I was a goner,” Bail said in an interview. He ripped off his dog tags so his captors wouldn’t know he was Jewish.

He was rescued through the clandestine love of his German nurse. “I’ve seen the letters,” says Demby Guest. “They both could have been killed.”

This first experience of spiritual love, he says, informed the rest of his life.

Liberated in 1945, he returned to Philadelphia, committed to becoming a healer.

In 1990, after 20 years as both a patient and practicing pyschoanalyst, Dr. Bail began 10 years of research into his

theory of the “maternal imprint,” explained in his book, The Mother’s Signature: A Journal of Dreams.

The imprint is what he calls the unconscious negative feelings from mothers, and the transgenerational Dr. Bernard Bail transmission of these feelings and trauma to children, that leads to self-criticism and “cuts us off from who we might be and become,” Demby Guest says. “We all have an imprint.”

His war experience had a great Jill Demby Guest deal to do with developing his theories that advocate for the equality of women and strike at the root of all mental illness. “The war subjected me to periods of abject terror; and I was not afraid to go deep into the unconscious. To go beyond Freud.”

FELDER EXTENDED—The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts has announced the extension of actor and pianist Hershey Felder’s Beethoven, now running through Sunday, Aug. 19 at the center, 9390 N. Santa Monica Blvd., Beverly Hills.

Tickets range from $35-$105 and are available online at www/TheWallis.-org.Beethoven or by calling 310-746-4000.

Rachel Fine Promoted To Executive Director, CEO At The Wallis The board of directors of the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts has announced that Rachel Fine has been promoted to executive director and chief executive officer, having served as the venue’s managing director since November 2015.

The Wallis’ 2018/2019 season, which begins Sept. 21, marks the third year of programming under the leadership of Fine and Artistic Director Paul Crewes and the sixth for the institution.

“Since joining The Wallis, Rachel’s innovative leadership has rooted the organization firmly and helped establish

it as a destination performing arts campus,” said Michael Nemeroff, board chair.

“Recognized widely as a premier arts executive, she has played a critical role, along with our visionary artistic director Rachel Fine Paul Crewes, in solidifying The Wallis' identity as a major cultural player in Southern California and beyond.”

How The High Desert Animal Coalition Saved Max

By Victoria Talbot It was one of those hot summer days when this reporter and Courier President and Publisher Marcia Wilson Hobbs loaded up and headed to Victorville to check out Max, a middle-aged purebred Great Pyrenees in an abusive situation.

Max was a breeder; his owner had died and the ranch was under the control of an abuser.

Through the dog rescue grapevine, word had come down that one of those big boys was desperately in need of a “furrever” home.

It was at the Rodeo Drive Concours d’Elegance, where the Courier had a booth, that Hobbs first heard of Max. Barry Jacobs, the guy who rescued my dog Angel for the Southern California Golden Retriever Rescue stopped by, and mentioned that he might have a Great Pyrenees.

He contacted a friend, Diley Grieser, a firefighter and paramedic. When she’s not saving people’s lives, she’s saving dogs in the High Desert. She was the connection.

Grieser is one of the founders of the High Desert Animal Coalition, dedicated to saving animals from being euthanized, simply because the shelters are full.

Grieser talked Max’s caretaker into surrendering three

dogs, including Max. The two younger dogs were shipped to Washington. Hobbs took Max, who refused eye contact and shivered for 10 days. He wasn’t shipped because the gentle giant was too big to fit into the crate on the plane.

Grieser became an animal rescue activist after a personal experience that changed her life.

On a hot summer day, her engine company found a terrier that had been hit by a car. They stopped to comfort the injured animal and called animal control. While helping the animal control officer to lift the injured dog into the truck, the terrified animal bit Grieser. The animal control officer “had a noose around the 10-pound dog,” but he “got so frustrated that he yanked the dog up in the air by its neck. His entire little body went limp,” she said, as the dog was swung into the compartment by the neck and shoved into the truck screaming in terror.

She insisted on taking care of the dog’s vet bills, but the animal control officer told her the dog was “a biter.” He said that he had to be put down.

Grieser’s engine company followed the truck to the vet, which was near closing time.

No one came to answer her knocks at the door. Some employees were leaving out the back. She told them she wanted to give them her credit card for

Marcia Hobbs and Max

the dog’s vet bills, but the dog had already been euthanized.

“I was outraged,” Grieser said. “All I could think about was how this sweet, beautiful dog with a nice new black collar was never going back home… I wonder what he was thinking as he struggled to take his last breath? This tiny dog’s family would probably go to the shelters looking for him… but this terrier would have magically disappeared, courtesy of a broken animal control system.”

Grieser added: “If this is how animal control acts around the fire department, what else are they hiding from the public? I made a promise that day that the little terrier would not die in vain. I always think of him and I can still hear his screams.”

Grieser spent the next years volunteering with animal res-

to decompress and to be properly assessed by one of our volunteer trainers. After each dog received love and the proper training. We proved that it can be done,” Grieser said.

The organization helps pet owners to connect with solutions. “When you call us, we put you in contact with the right kind of help – fencing, food, avoidance behavior, low cost medical-spay-neuter). They partner with local vets for lowcost clinics. They hold adoption events. They have a trap-andrelease program to spay and neuter feral cats. Their vets go to rural areas to spay and neuter free of charge.

And it is all through donations and volunteers.

“We hope that this year we can find a shelter that will work with us to start a pilot program to show county supervisors that it can be done and that there is a better way! If we all work together, in two years, we can end pet overpopulation. We can end the nightmare of killing animals for space.”

Today, thanks to Grieser’s group, Max roams his 1.5 acres in Bel Air with his new brothers, Bear and Sam, also rescues.

He hit the doggie jackpot.

cues and learning about adoption, spay and neuter, fostering and the rescue world.

In Los Angeles, rescue organizations and breed rescues pull pets from shelters every day to live in foster homes until they can be adopted.

Many of these animals have owners who love them, but can’t find them in time. Many are purebreds. Not all animals are saved, and in county shelters, the numbers are grim.

In underserved areas, where animals are less likely to be spayed or neutered, animals lives too often end tragically, even those with families who end up in the shelters by accident. They usually have only days to be found before they are euthanized to make room for more.

“We are a brand new nonprofit organization (founded in 2017) in one of the poorest counties in California. We are allies with the local shelters.

We work with all types of rescues all over California, Washington – even Canada (where they have space in the shelters and high participation in spay/neuter programs). In the past year we have helped hundreds of death row dogs and cats. Last year we placed every dog that was deemed unadoptable after allowing the dog time

The Ellison Institute’s new 79,000-square-foot building was designed by awardwinning firm HLW International.

New USC Cancer Institute Funded By Larry Ellison To Open In West Los Angeles The University of Southern California and Larry Ellison have announced a new, dynamic home for the Lawrence J. Ellison Institute for Transformative Medicine at the Expo Station, a contemporary building being developed by The Luzzatto Company in West Los Angeles.

Led by Founding Director/CEO David B. Agus, M.D., professor of medicine and biomedical engineering at USC’s Keck School of Medicine and USC Viterbi School of Engineering, the Ellison Institute, comprised of clinicians, experts and thought-leaders from disparate backgrounds, aims to change the status quo in research and medical care through patient-centered innovation, technology, and convergent science, Dr. Agus says.

The Ellison Institute’s new 79,000square-foot building will house a cancer clinic, interdisciplinary research laboratories focused on scientific discovery and innovation, a think tank, community education and outreach, and a wellness pro-

gram. It is set to open next May. “When a patient sees scientists working on solutions for his disease—that is hope personified,” Agus said. “Larry’s faith in our work is both humbling and inspiring. With his support, we are creating a new paradigm for research.”

Two years ago, Ellison announced a $200 million donation to USC to establish his namesake Institute. Ellison, the founder/chairman of Oracle Corporation, is intimately involved in the institute.

The Luzzatto Company, an L.A.based real-estate investment firm, is leading the development of the project.

Conveniently located adjacent to the Santa Monica bike path, the Ellison Institute will be within walking distance to the new Metro Bundy Station, which is a 10-minute ride to the ocean or a 30minute ride to downtown Los Angeles.

This will also make the Institute easily accessible for USC undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral students that work and volunteer at the Institute.

DOCUMENTARY

when Demby Guest accompanies him and his girlfriend back to Germany.

“It was his first trip back in 71 years, and we go back into the room where he was held.

This is a film about emotions and bringing to light feelings that have been suppressed.”

Bail recounts his war experiences in his memoir, Irmgard’s Flute, and as one can imagine, he has received virtually every military honor imaginable including the French Legion of Honor, the highest military honor bestowed by the country.

“And we have all the medals in the film,” Demby Guest says.

The screening will be followed by a discussion with Dr. Bail, director Guest, and special guest and film contributor Dr. Loren Weiner, a clinical psychologist practicing in Beverly Hills. —Steve Simmons

advocates of Dr. Bail’s work and liked Demby Guest’s approach.

“I’m a good translator of difficult material and messages,” says Demby Guest, who has worked extensively with Disney and Warner Brothers on documentaries for their DVD releases. “I’m able to make the process ‘easy to eat. ‘ My brother said a 9-year-old could understand it; and I know a 10year-old who was in therapy and saw it and was fascinated.”

Bail, who lived in Beverly Hills for many years, still practices in the City at the age of 97.

Being the subject of a film is “very nifty,” says Bail. He terms it a “good film. Modesty prevents me from calling it a great film.”

A highlight of the film is

Throw on your leather jackets and slick back your hair, it’s almost time to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Grease.

BEVERLY HILLS

ELECTRIC SCOOTERS (Continued from page 4)

Electric bicycles that fit the “dockless” definition are included in the ordinance.

The ordinance is in response to the serious impact on public safety. “For the immediate preservation of the public peace, health and safety, the City Council has initiated an urgency legislation to address the hazards posed by shared mobility devices placed in and operated on public property,” reads the ordinance.

In essence, any scooter found within the City of Beverly Hills may be impounded, either by police, the City’s Ambassadors, public works or whomever City Manager Mahdi Aluzri designates to collect the vehicles. That includes scooters that are being ridden as well as those that have been discarded.

Riders can be charged with a misdemeanor for riding them within the City; providers can also be charged with a misdemeanor for “offering” the scooters for use. A scooter is available for use when the rider reaches a destination and discards it. The misdemeanor carries a fine up to $1,000 and in very rare cases, up to six months in jail.

In addition, police will be ramping up enforcement, said Chief Sandra Spagnoli, and officers will continue to cite or issue warnings to riders who violate the California Vehicle Code.

“It can be a challenge to enforce [the ordinance] because violations are so spread out,” she said. “When we see violations, we will make our best efforts to enforce.”

Thus, there will be citations issued to riders for non-compliance with State laws and the scooter providers will have their scooters impounded.

Impound fees, said Spagnoli, are $123 plus $51 per day for storage after the first day.

The City of Beverly Hills is just the latest to be grappling with the problem of scooters that have suddenly taken over the City streets.

Problems cited include the dumping of scooters on public and private right of ways, issues arising with automobiles, pedestrians, tourists and others who share the roads and sidewalks, liability issues, failure to wear a helmet, the California State Vehicle Code and the business model that brought the unregulated devices into the City in the first place.

Every member of the City Council expressed deep concerns over the safety hazards, as did many of those who spoke during public comment.

Councilmembers and public comments also confirmed that the devices could be a useful alternative, if managed properly, to solve multiple mobility issues over short distances for many people.

Two residents called themselves members of “Gen Z” and said that the Council did not understand their need for the devices. Councilmember Lili Bosse disagreed, pointing out that the health and safety issues take precedence over everything else.

The Beverly Hills police reported that 100 percent of riders that have been cited or ticketed have not followed the laws, which call for a valid drivers’ license for riders, wearing helmets, riding next to the curb on commercial streets without bike lanes, not riding tandem and having lights at night. Most of the riders did not know they were

violating the California Vehicle Code.

Police reported 100 warnings and 75 citations the week preceding the City Council meeting.

The BHPD also showed a clip from a local news station showing a bevy of riders on Rodeo Drive last weekend, who abandoned their vehicles all over the sidewalks when the police came.

The same group appears to have ridden wildly through the parking structure in Century City.

Though the Bird and Lime representatives said that their scooters are not operable after 9 p.m., the Bird representative said that people who charge them can activate them and may have been taking a “joy ride.”

Beverly Hills may not be ready yet for a rational use of the scooters.

Without the bike path infrastructure that is available in Culver City and Santa Monica, Police Chief Sandra Spagnoli said, “it is a public safety hazard until there is a better business plan.”

The City is currently working on a “Complete Streets” plan to include all forms of mobility for smarter transit options throughout the City, though it is expected that with the extensive public outreach seeking public comments, the Traffic and Parking Commission and staff will not have a package to present to City Council for months.

Tim Harter, government relations officer for Bird, explained that he was tasked with “keeping up with the business model” for the company. Under questioning, he revealed that the company investigates to discover if there is anything that “prohibited us from operating” in a given locale. Once they determine that they can, they bring their scooters to the City – near other cities, like putting Birds in Santa Monica and Culver City that affect Beverly Hills, West Los Angeles and West Hollywood.

The aggressive strategy overwhelms the cities with unregulated scooters, forcing them to negotiate. “It moves the dial forward,” Harter said. Mirisch called it “disruptive technology,” which Wikipedia defines as, “innovation that creates a new market and value network and eventually disrupts an existing market and value network, displacing established … products, and alliances.”

Councilmember Les Friedman called it “asking for forgiveness,” rather than “asking for permission.”

The City of Santa Monica rounded up all the Scooters that were operating there last week and impounded them.

Their 16-month pilot program for dockless shared mobility devices includes electric scooters and bicycles. Among other things, the program limits the number of providers and the number of devices, requires systems that will prevent improper parking and incentivize drop-off zones; require a 24-hour hotline and make rider safety education a priority.

Though they have been prolific since they were introduced, there were no official “Bird Nests” in Beverly Hills, or pick-up points for proffering the scooters by either Bird according to the provider. Lime introduced the product to the City only weeks ago, though it is not clear if they had a pick up point.

Scooters are charged by nonemployees, usually users who take them home and plug them in to charge.

“Chargers” or “Juicers” can be paid as much as $5/scooter each night. They can be dropped off anywhere and users can ride through the City and drop them in the City.

Councilmembers expressed con-

cerns for non-employee contractors, who typically search for the devices using their smart phone app. The vehicles can often be found on private property, which led to concerns about liability.

Liability for accidents, injuries and damages was also discussed, though lit-

I am beyond offended by the manner in which this was rolled out... This is a wanton disregard for public safety.

–– Mayor Julian Gold

tle light was shed by any of the representatives. Lime’s legal department responded to a query with the following statement: “"Lime’s insurance coverage meets or exceeds all requirements from cities, campuses and businesses. We have a process in place to investigate all claims of injury."

Company representatives argued that they provide free helmets to userswhich will be issued upon request.

Harter, speaking for Bird, did not disclose that the request has to come following the first ride.

The helmet arrives by mail, which is not useful for the large tourist popula-

July 27, 2018 | Page 17 tion in the City who wish to use the devices.

Vice Mayor John Mirisch did not support an all-out ban; he was amenable to a “draconian” enforcement sweep that would begin immediately, that he called a “zero tolerance” policy.

He did, however, support suspension while the City contemplates how to make this work.

"Beverly Hills has a history of embracing innovation, from self-driving cars to fiber optic technology. Last night, the City broke from this tradition by slowing down the adoption of innovative mobility solutions that would lead to fewer cars on the road, less traffic congestion, and improved air quality,” said Sam Dreiman director of strategic development for Lime, in a statement. “We hope to work with the City to roll out a scooter share program that prioritizes safety and responsible rider behavior, while providing residents and riders with clean and affordable alternatives to cars.”

But Mayor Julian Gold said he was livid, and continued, “I am beyond offended by the manner in which this was rolled out. To intentionally impose on cities the risks in an effort to make a profit is unconscionable. No one has to grant forgiveness. The manner in which you rolled this out is a wanton disregard for the public safety – and it is our public. You guys could care less. You wanted to move the needle. You moved it too far. This is a wanton disregard for public safety. Given my ‘druthers I would ban you for life or longer… I would stick your executives in jail and not the kids who ride the scooters.”

Then I went to the theatreand saw the just released Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, and the fabulous singing and dancing had most of us in the audience moving and singing in our seats to its several great songs... It was wonderful to see so many happy faces and upbeat attitudes coming out of the movie.

I was back in my youth, if only for a short time.

How great it would be for all of us to have song and dance back in our lives. For Hollywood studios to realize that perhaps, if we had more of these fabulous musical movies instead of all those “shoot ‘em ups,” monster flicks, and scifi’s, the upcoming generations would have a lot more laughter and happiness in their lives and a lot less thoughts of killing, suicide and depression.

Think of the recent hit song Be Happy...Let’s be just that. ****** And while we’re on the subject of great music, one of my favorites, Dionne Warwick, will be having a special tribute at 7 p.m. next Wednesday (Aug.1) in the Paley Center, 465 N.

BEVERLY HILLS

Chairman 2014 Paula Kent Meehan President & Publisher Marcia Wilson Hobbs Senior Editor John L. Seitz Special Sections Editor Stephen P. Simmons

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR In his letter last week defending Beverly Hills rent control and outing me for my shameful ownership of a couple of apartment buildings, Mark Elliot blithely concedes that “three quarters of economists agree” that rent control is a very bad idea. He even touts that “Beverly Hills hasn’t had a free market for rental housing in four decades.”

Does he even realize how damning that statement is to the government of Beverly Hills?

The principles of economics are natural laws, just as much as the laws of physics or chemistry, except that economics is based in biology and psychology – what we need and what we want. The Nobel Prize is given out for the “Economic Sciences.”

(Quote marks not intended to be scary, Mr. Elliot. Actually, I’ve never heard the phrase “scare quotes” before and can’t imagine why punctuation would frighten anyone.) It is the height of arrogance to believe that humans can pass legislation which will overcome laws of nature. The law of supply and demand can no more be defeated by legislation than can the law of gravity. Those with Mr. Elliot’s mindset believe, I think, that if the Supreme Court would just overturn the law of gravity, and we’d all weigh less on our scales.

If rent control works, why not carry it further and control all prices in this country – food, clothing, televisions, Ferraris? In fact, while we’re at it, let’s legislate higher pay for everyone.

Don’t stop at the minimum wage – set the salaries for lawyers, nurses, ditch-diggers and the rest. Ridiculous? Actually, some countries have done exactly that. It’s called communism and its record of failures worldwide is without exception.

When government sets the prices of products and labor, rather than lets the science-based forces of a free market reflect their true value, it is an absurd conceit of humans thinking they can overrule the principles of nature.

When a good idea arises, it sweeps the nation. The seatbelt law, for example, was first enacted by the state of New York in 1984. By 1995, barely more than a decade later, 49 states had a seat belt law. Contrast that with rent control, which was first enacted in 1943, specifically in New York City. Today, 75 years later, only four states have cities with rent control. Thirty-five states either pre-empt it or prohibit it altogether.

California has a statewide housing shortage that is most prevalent by far in the rent-controlled communities. Beverly Hills has avoided the severe shortage of, for example, Santa Monica because our rent increase limit has been a moderate 10 percent in the three-plus decades since it was first enacted, minimizing its distortion on the free market.

The reduction of allowable increase to cost of living, however, enacted last year by the Beverly Hills City Council, in addition to being scientifically unsound and philosophically unjust, is going to damage our City’s rental market as well as property values. But rent control has nothing to do with philosophy (also dismissed by Mr. Elliot) or principles – of science or morality.

Incidentally, I must congratulate Mr. Elliot on his founding of the tenants’ union. I’m a big believer in unions, both labor and consumer. A union is a group of people with a common goal banding together to promote their interests.

That’s the American way. They are a natural and healthy outgrowth of the free enterprise system, at which Mr. Elliot sneers. A labor union negotiates nose-to-nose with its employer(s) and if need be, goes on strike to apply pressure. Government isn’t involved.

A tenant union, likewise, should try negotiating with any owners who inflict the horribles that Mr. Elliot fears, then if they don’t get the desired results, picket the property. Don’t scoff as you might be surprised at the effect of putting public pressure on a misbehaving owner – and in fact might find allies in other owners.

One of the proposals that came up repeatedly in the owner-tenant discussions sponsored by the City of Beverly Hills last year was the formation of a sort of board, or council, made up of tenants and owners, to which tenants could bring complaints of substandard maintenance, owner harassment, etc.

I always supported that concept and would have volunteered to be part of it.Instead, we have

a worse version of rent control. Of all the communities in California, the absurdity of that illadvised practice stands out most prominently in Beverly Hills.

Kevin R. Davis ****** Our family was honored to attend the “Supercalifragilistic! 90th Birthday Tribute” to our dear friend, Richard Sherman, at The Wallis Annenberg Center last Saturday night. The show was a true walk down memory lane highlighted by all the brilliant songs that Richard and his brother, Robert, wrote.

The Sherman brothers are Beverly Hills royalty. They grew up and attended schools in our great City and, as was pointed out Saturday night, wrote all their songs in Beverly Hills.

Bravo to the Mayor Julian Gold and City Council members to be at the event and give Richard a birthday he, and everyone in attendance, will never forget.

Carol and Jerry Redston ****** Beverly Hills sponsored a really wonderful evening of music Saturday at the celebration of the 90th birthday of composer Richard Sherman.

The skilled singers and dancers performed song after song that the SRO audience at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts knew and thoroughly enjoyed.

Thanks to the City, the Wallis, all the incredible singers and dancers for this great civic event…and especially to Richard Sherman for sharing his birthday and allowing us to sing and enjoy his and his brother Robert’s Disney songs for decades.

Ken Goldman ****** I have never been more proud to be a Beverly Hills resident (which I have been for 40 years) than I did Saturday at the birthday bash for Richard Sherman.

It was a fabulous, delightful event that I will never forget. Congratulations to Richard and to Beverly Hills. Well done!!

Dr. Earl Mindell, R.Ph.,Ph.D. ****** I want to extend an invitation to Robert Block to accompany me on the annual “Garden Tour” of the Theodore Payne Foundation (www.theodorepayne .org) for Wild Flowers and Native Plants next April. I served on that foundation’s board for nine years so I want him to see for himself that water-wise plants, including California native ones, aren’t a “cactus zoo.”

Members of the City Council, the Department of Public Works, and the Recreation and Parks Department, as well as any other appropriate Beverly Hills commissions and boards are also welcome to attend.

Astrology

By Holiday Mathis TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (July 27). There's a “world” to be conquered, and you have real guts this year. While the next three months involve building familiar bonds and joyous events with your loved ones, there will be a shift in 2019 and a chance to spend some time where no one knows you. Seize the opportunity to be whomever you want. Gemini and Virgo adore you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You've a talent for organizing people. Your calm friendliness will put all at ease. With you at the helm, the whole team will relax and get to know one another, finding interesting new ways to cooperate.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). In the name of harmony and tact, you'll only say about 10 percent of what you would like to say on some subjects and then turn the conversation to something innocuous you can speak more freely about.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Whether you feel more comfortable giving or receiving, today it's essential to do both. It will take you playing both roles to get the relationship balanced out. Bonus points for letting others know how they can make you happy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You're a master of diplomacy, and it's not even hard for you. It springs from your genuine and deep respect of others. You'll meet and come to understand many different kinds of people.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Love is a mystery. Maybe it's a little scary because it requires that you let go of control. You want to monitor and manipulate what happens, but then it wouldn't be love. Embrace uncertainty.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Who takes care of you best?

Sometimes that's you, but right now you feel that you can't -- that there's too much else you need to tend to. Nonsense. Take a step back. Ask for help.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). For the most part, children are not in control of where they live and how their days are structured.

But adults, at least in theory, should be. If it's not working for you, change it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). It is OK not to know the nature of a relationship. Maybe it is yet to be determined. Anyway, keep an open mind. It is better to be uncertain than to be certain of something false.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). There are many benefits to losing an old grudge. For starters, by letting go of this you will liberate brain space for more relevant information, such as remembering where you put your keys.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). It will be important to know the other person's motivation, or to at least make a guess at it. Do you think the other person is trying to impress, love, secure or control you?

Your next move should be made thoughtfully.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When it feels as though you need a guide, a method, or a shortcut, but no teacher or secret knowledge seems to be coming forth, it's a sign from the universe that you already have the answers. Just go do the thing.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You may look confident to those who don't know any better, but inside you are secretly wondering if you bit off more than you could chew with this recent deal. Don't worry; you're not going to choke. Just chew longer.
