In July, the Beverly Hills Courier will celebrate 50 years in the commu-nity. Throughout the new year, The Courier will honor the legacy of ex-cellence in Beverly Hills businesses that have called the City their homesince 1965 or earlier. These are our Heritage Businesses. By Victoria Talbot

At the turn of the last century,the City of Beverly Hills wasknown more for fields and dubiousbusiness ventures than stardomand success. Looking at our Citytoday, it is a marvel that out of thebelligerent landscape wouldemerge a world-renowned desti-nation. The transformation began

with The Beverly Hills Hotel.Sales were slow in 1910; only

six residences had been built. Tostimulate development, the vision-aries of the Rodeo Land and WaterCompany conceived a plan tobuild the finest hotel in the realm.They approached Margaret Ander-son and her son Stanley,

Beverly Hills To Close Final OilWell In 2016, Despite VenocoBy Laura Coleman

On a daily basis, the City’s oneoperational oil well sucks roughly300 barrels of crude oil from be-neath the ground at Beverly HillsHigh School. Even at today’s dra-matic low trading value of $48 abarrel, that averages out to $5.3million of annual income for ener-gy company Venoco, which cur-

rently leases the property from theBeverly Hills Unified School Dis-trict. A year ago, that figure waseasily twice as high.

Venoco now pays the Cityroughly $500,000 and BHUSDaround $600,000 a year for theiroil and gas lease, which sunsets onDec. 31, 2016. After that, the lease

City Council RushesThrough 11 Percent RaiseFor ‘Executive’ EmployeesBy Victoria Talbot

The Beverly Hills CityCouncil, in an agreementmade during closed session,will likely vote next Tuesday togive the City’s Executive Man-agement Group an 11 percentsalary increase over a two-yearperiod, The Courier haslearned.

The current average totalcompensation per employeewith salary, pension and healthcare is $275,278 per employ-ee.

The Executive Manage-ment Group includes CityManager, Fire Chief, CityClerk, Director of PublicWorks, Chief of Police, City En-gineer, Director of EmergencyManagement, Director ofCommunity Development,Chief Information Officer, Bud-get and Revenue Officer, Utili-ties Manager, Division Com-mander, Director/Project Ad-ministrator and the Assistantand Deputies thereof. Totalcompensation for these posi-

tions currently range from alow of $192,911 to a high of$437,032.

The City Council agenda istraditionally not available untilafter close of business the Fri-day before the meeting. By lim-iting the reading to one CityCouncil meeting, public com-ments are thus limited.

Normally, pay raises arethoroughly vetted in the publicdomain; City Council has de-cided to reduce scrutiny andpublic input by fast-trackingthis compensation package.

In comparison, the medianhousehold income for resi-dents in the City of BeverlyHills, according to the UnitedStates Census Bureau, is$86,141 for 2013. The averagetotal compensation for Execu-tive Employees will be triplethat amount.

See page 31 for an editori-al from councilmember JohnMirisch, who does not supportthe pay increase.

LADBS: ‘901 Strada VecchiaHas 60 Days To Comply’

BOMB SCARE—BHHS studentswere funneled toRoxbury ParkTuesday to awaitpickup from theirfamily membersafter a telephonedbomb scare at thehigh school.

Courier Photoby Matt Lopez

By Laura ColemanThere’s a bomb at Beverly

Hills High School and I’mwatching to see what you do.

Those were essentially thethreatening words that anunidentified caller told a BHHSadministrator Monday morningat 11 a.m.

Within minutes, the schoolwent on lock-down; teacherslocked classroom doors, turnedoff lights and instructed stu-dents to get under their desks.The students had done the drillbefore, leading many to as-sume it was just a fire/safetytest - that is, until Beverly Hills

Police Department officershelped escort approximately1,700 high school students and200 adults to Roxbury Park.

Within an hour the BHPDcleared the site, but the deci-sion was still made to send stu-dents home for the remainderof the day.

“Obviously the bombthreat was handled extremelywell,” Superintendent GaryWoods said. He emphasizedthat the evacuation was evi-dence of a “great partnership”between the Beverly Hills Uni-fied School District, BeverlyHills Fire Department and the

BHPD.“From the police depart-

ment’s standpoint, children’ssafety is and will be para-mount,” Police Chief DaveSnowden told The Courier.

As early as Tuesday, theBoard of Education could voteon whether or not to hire a pri-vate security firm to augmentwhat BHPD is currentlyproviding to the school district,according to BoardmemberNoah Margo. It is unclearwhether the City of BeverlyHills would help fund the cost

Santa Monica Boulevard Reconstruction TrafficMitigation Turns into Bike Lanes at City CouncilBy Victoria Talbot

Cyclists hijacked a CityCouncil study session Tuesdaythat was scheduled to considertraffic mitigations for the SantaMonica Boulevard Reconstruc-tion project, and focusing theentire meeting on the subjectof bike lanes instead.

“We began working on thisone and a half weeks beforethe meeting,” said Mark Elliot,cyclist and founder of BetterBike, an organization formedfor the purpose of getting bikelanes into Beverly Hills.

Council chambers werefilled with cycling enthusiastsfrom across Los Angeles, manyof whom work, recreate or livein Beverly Hills. All of them re-peated that they wanted a bicy-cle lane to be integrated into anewly reconstructed “SMB.”

The project has been underconsideration since Sept. 2013.A Blue Ribbon Panel last yeargave their recommendations tothe council.

However, those recom-mendations were based on theexpectation that the City hadbudgeted the project properly.When City consulting firm Pso-mas reviewed the figures it wasdiscovered that the project hadbeen severely under-budgeted.

Originally set at $17 mil-lion, the project price soared to$35 million, prompting optionsthat cut costs and accom-plished the necessary repairs.

But cyclists are determinedto create a bike lane on SMB.

The coalition ambushedCity Hall with a “last-minutecompromise proposal calledthe “Beverly Hills Greenway”

and a veritable parade of 33speakers,” wrote Mark Elliot,founder of Better Bike, in theirefforts to “keep it on the table.”

The bold plan was con-ceived by a coalition of organ-izers, including Beverly Hillscyclist Kory Klem of La Grange,Los Angeles County BicycleCoalition’s Eric Bruins, BetterBike’s Mark Elliot and cyclistRich Hirschinger.

The legion of cyclists camecharged with fervor and recit-ing phrases about completestreets, carbon emissions andprogressive mobility and boo-ing any residents who came todisagree.

Bike lanes were not on theagenda; the opposition,

Student Board Member PositionNow Open To All BHHS JuniorsBy Laura Coleman

Beverly Hills High SchoolSenior Amir Kashfi knows whatit means to be a hero for pos-terity. Last month, around 70percent of the BHHS studentbody voted to amend the Asso-ciated Student Body constitu-tion to open up the StudentBoard Member position be-yond ASB students thanks toKashfi’s proposal.

Kashfi, who was just elect-ed to the position of SeniorClass VP for second semester,said that although he is nolonger eligible to run for theposition, he believes his effortswill benefit “future politicallyactive students.”

“Ideally, the change to theSBM position will open up op-portunities to create greaterstudent voice in annual fallelections, energize the studentbody, and create a more vigor-ous democratic system,” saidASB teacher Mark Mead.

Mead said to be eligiblefor the position, students stillneed to be a second-semesterjunior, meet the minimum

grade requirements for the po-sition, and must attend two en-tire board meetings before run-ning.

As a junior, Kashfi askedthe Board of Education to forceASB to amend their bylawsprohibiting non-ASB studentsfrom running for the position ofStudent Board Member. Theboard urged Kashfi to take hisamendment to the entire stu-dent body.

“I put a lot of effort intomaking it happen,” he said. "Ihad the notion that I had to doit for posterity."

By Matt LopezThe notorious 901 Strada

Vecchia project in Bel-Air, anearly 30,000-square footmegamansion, has exactly 60days to get its act together, ac-cording to the city of Los An-geles.

Following a private hear-ing with the City Attorney’s of-fice on Tuesday, the ownersand representatives for 901Strada Vecchia were informedof the deadline to submit newtopographic maps to the city.

Neighbors alleged thatwork had been done illegallyto the site, without permit, tomisrepresent the sites naturalgrade.

LADBS rep Luke Zamperi-ni told The Courier earlier thisyear that in fact, the naturalgrade of the site was a stickingpoint in discussions with theproperty owners.

Construction permits wererevoked in September whenthe LADBS determined that thesite had in fact violated its per-

mits.“The owner and his reps

were insistent that will providethe appropriate plans and jus-tification for the building andproperty modifications. theCity Attorney gave them ap-proximately 60 days to com-ply.” LADBS Chief InspectorBob Steinbach said.

If the 60 days pass andowners are unable to presentevidence that justifies the ap-parent changing of naturalgrade, misdemeanor criminalcharges could be filed by theCity Attorney.

Benjamin Reznik, attorneyfor Mohamed Hadid, who isdesigning the project, said hebelieved the issue would beresolved.

“We’re working withBuilding and Safety to showthe natural grade is correct,”Reznik stated. “We’re going tobe submitting more informa-tion... and want to clarify theissues which have arisen.”

itan Transportation Authority head intothe final rounds of what has become aprizefight over the direction the PurpleLine Extension will take through Bever-ly Hills, Metro CEO Arthur T. Leahy an-nounced this week that he will stepdown in April.

Leahy, 65, has helmed Metro forthe last six years, including a $1.2 bil-lion upgrade of the Blue Line, the SilverLine express bus service and OrangeLine extension to Chatsworth.

He was also the target of criticismfor projects that failed to come in under

budget, or in a timely manner, such asthe five-year 405 freeway wideningproject which cost hundreds of millionsmore than its projected $1 billion.

Leahy took leadership at Metro justafter voters passed Measure R, whichwill raise an estimated $35 billion over30 years for transit projects, but Leahyhelmed the 2012 follow-up Measure J,which sought to add a 30-year-exten-sion to Measure R. That ballot measurewas swiftly turned down by voters.

Memories ...

Fondest recollectionsrecur through the holidays.

Will we ever forgetthose caviar nights with a sex-tet of friends gathered onNorth Arden Drive in BeverlyHills? Where Mitzi Gaynorand Jack Bean celebrated NewYear’s Eves.

A jazz aficionado, hav-ing collected a war chest oflong-playing albums, Jackcarefully selected favorites toplay softly until the midnighthour. French artist StephaneGrappelli’s magic violinalways among the choices,Stephane having founded theHot Club of France in 1934with guitarist Django Reinhart.To this day, collectors scourvintage record shops and e-bay postings to acquireGrappelli classics for theirlibraries.

Seated on plush couches,our evenings began with sipsof Dom Perignon to whet theappetite for the Beluga caviarfrom sturgeons in the CaspianSea. Mitzi served dollops of

the shimmering gray beadsaccompanied with those sidetastes, if desired, of sour creamand minced onion andchopped hard-cooked egg totop the black pearls on toastpoints or blinis.

Although the fabledrestaurateur Henri Soule ofNew York’s prized La CoteBasque and Pavillon (ColePorter’s favorite) scoffed at this“sinful soiling of the caviar.”When he invited us for a tastingduring our tenure as a rovingeditor with Town & Countrymagazine, he claimed that “asqueeze or two of lemon” is allthat’s needed. To heighten thepleasure of this grand repastfavored by kings and queens forcenturies.

Compared to the Osetraand Sevruga caviars, a Belugasturgeon takes longer than 20years to produce those covetedlargest eggs gleaming like dia-monds ($500 buys you 3.5ounces, while Sevruga goes for$125).

Following the caviar serv-ing (with mother-of-pearlspoons, since silver adds anundesirable tinny taste), Mitzi, afabulous cook, prepares a lus-cious Welsh rarebit with a tick-

le of Tabasco, perfect for a prel-ude to the ring-dem-bells mid-night hour. Jimmy Stewartraved that a piping-hot Welshrarebit “with that yummy ched-dar cheese flavor curls my hair.”

Kisses, then, and smileseverywhere on the stroke oftwelve o’clock to welcomeFather Time and the New Year.

The feast continued.Crisp leaves of endive tossedwith a lovely subtle dressingsparked with a hint of strawber-ry eau de vie.

Home soon, after lan-guishing in our graceful finaletoasting the tick-tock of ournext 365 days. Come morn-

ing, we phone Mitzi and Jackwith hearty thank yous foranother night of happy remem-brances.

Leading economist and politicalanalyst Martin Anderson, who workedunder three U.S. Presidents and was atop advisor under Ronald Reagan, diedover the weekend at age 78.

Anderson, born in Lowell, Mass.,earned a doctorate from MIT School ofManagement before going on to workas an associate professor at ColumbiaUniversity.

A follower of philosopher AynRand, Anderson quickly rose throughthe political ranks, moving on to serveas director of policy research forRichard Nixon's 1968 Presidential cam-paign and in 1970-71, he served as Spe-cial Consultant to the President of theUnited States for Systems Analysis.

Anderson, who is widely creditedas launching Alan Greenspan's politicalcareer, became senior policy advisor toReagan's 1976 and 1980 presidentialcampaigns. He was chief domestic pol-icy advisor under Reagan in 1981-82,and was a member of his Economic Pol-icy Advisory Board from 1982 to 1989.

Nancy Reagan released a statementMonday on Anderson's death.

"I am deeply saddened by the news

of Martin Anderson’s death. He was adear friend, and an integral part of myhusband’s campaigns and White Housesenior staff. After we left the WhiteHouse, not only was he one of thefounding members of the Board ofTrustees for Ronnie’s presidential li-brary, but along with his wife, Annelise,he has authored some of the best booksthat have been written on the Reaganpresidency.

prominent in former meetings, did notknow they should be present in force.

The few opponents argued againstremoving any green space from parkproperties and expressed concern thatSanta Monica Boulevard was not appro-priate for a bike lane because of thedensity of traffic on the thoroughfare.

Beverly Hills Realtor Michael Li-bow, referring to him self as part of a‘silent majority,’ opposes the project.“As a recreational cyclist with aboyfriend who is a triathlete, I totally re-spect the rights of those that utilize oth-er forms of transportation. As courteousas those of us were listening to the re-peated and articulate statements aboutthe necessity for bike lanes on SantaMonica Boulevard, those same speakers

heckled any of us who spoke outagainst the lanes,” he said of his experi-ence. “I think its a safety thing. I feel it’sa dangerous situation for all. I’m arecreational cyclist and I have noticedthat the cyclists never obey the rules ofthe road.”

The Beverly Hills Greenway Plancalls for a uniform 62-foot wide boule-vard that would allow a 5-foot bike laneon both the north and south sides of thestreet.

At present, SMB is 60-feet widewest of Canon to Wilshire and 63-feetwide to the east. The initial Blue Ribbonproposal was to widen the street to 66-feet, add bike lanes and perhaps a land-scaped median.

The costly project was abandoned.In addition, California’s “Three Feet forSafety” law, which requires motorists toleave at least a 3-foot space betweenthe cyclist and their automobile,prompted some reconsideration.

To achieve the bike lane, the Bever-ly Hills Greenway proposal wouldwiden the 60-foot stretch to 62-feet andreduce the 63-foot stretch to 62-feet.First removing two feet from the park-lands on the narrow portion and thenadding back one foot on the wider por-tion of the road would accomplish this.

The Better Bike coalition is callingthis a “no net loss of green space” pro-posal.

The coalition succeeded in bringing

the discussion back to the table. “I thinkit’s definitely worth taking a look at it se-riously,” said Councilmember JohnMirisch. “There are several options, butultimately we need to find a way tomake dedicated bike lanes work.”

Mayor Bosse agreed, though Bosseis not convinced that it is necessary totake green space. The majority of thestreet is 63-feet. “We can currently ac-commodate that with this plan,” shesaid. The stretch that is 60-feet, she be-lieves, can be accommodated, partiallyon the south side where there are nosidewalks. “The place where there is60-feet, which is a smaller section ofSMB, we should look at the south sideof SMB for alternatives,” she said, refer-ring to a suggestion by CouncilmemberWillie Brien. “We don’t have to takeaway any park space.”

The project is as yet in the pre-plan-ning stages but clearly; the City is beingled by a vocal group of cyclists deter-mined to make a path through BeverlyHills. They succeeded in keeping theitem on the table.

The cyclists monopolized the StudySession, deferring all other City businessincluding an item on Bike Sharing, butthe City Council did decide on the rec-ommended option for traffic mitigationwhen construction begins. The trafficmitigation will include a range fromfour to two or three traffic lanes, de-pending on the construction activity.

Q: Dear Dr. Fran: I have heard about unusual punishmentmethods parents use, but this one is pegged to Chef JaimeOliver saying he tricked his 12- year old into eating spicychili pepper: “‘Poppy was quite disrespectful and rude tome and she pushed her luck,” he told a UK TV show. “Inmy day I would have got a bit of a telling-off but you arenot allowed to do that. Five minutes later she thought Ihad forgotten and I hadn’t. She asked for an apple. I cut itup into several pieces and rubbed it with Scotch Bonnetand it worked a treat. She ran up to mum and said, ‘Thisis peppery.’ I was in the corner laughing. [my wife] said tome, ‘Don’t you ever do that again.’ Can you spare amoment to share your thoughts about this? Seems like itcould be dangerous. Nigel O.

A. Dear Nigel: There are all different styles and method ofpunishment parents use to educate their children, howeverin this country, many psychotherapists, including me,believe tricking a child into eating spicy chili pepper isharshly punitive and falls under the category of abuse.

It is especially disturbing to learn that Jamie Oliver wasin the corner “laughing”' as his daughter ran to her mumfor comfort. Laughing at your child's discomfort and paincan be sadistic, but more likely tells me that Mr. Oliver wascaught in a personal power-struggle with his daughter. Thisis exactly the least effective position from which a parentneeds to impart discipline for supportive learning.

The objective of all parenting, rewards, consequences,and punishments should be to teach your child to inhibitnegative impulses and poor choices, including disrespect-ful talking.

Other types of out-of-the-box punishments, for exam-ple publicly shaming your child on Facebook and socialmedia in front of his peer group may be creative; but riskscausing serious damage to your parent/child relationship.When in doubt, parents should reach out to a child psy-chologist or school counselor. Don’t risk breaching yourprecious relationship with your child or teen that may takemonths to years to repair and rebuild.

Q. Dear Dr. Fran: I read a new study showing “third chil-dren” don’t boost a mom’s happiness. What do you hearfrom parents on this issue? Gladys T.

A. Dear Gladys: I have treated hundreds to thousands offamilies and have heard the following feedback. Stay-at-home-moms seem to relish in the arrival of their “thirdchild.” Often, these parents have previously had two chil-dren of the same sex and the third is their first boy or girl.There is cause for celebration.

These moms report that “three’s the charm,” and thethird child is often easy-breezy.

They've figured out the parenting formula by practicingon child #1 and #2, so the third doesn't raise their anxietythe way the first and second did.

On the other hand, I hear from many full-time work-ing professional moms that the third child can be over-whelming especially when the kids become elementary-school age.

The reason is because kids today are overbooked andsign up for many after-school activities including soccer andsports teams, drama class, dance, art and music lessons,play-dates and so forth. When moms become chauffeur tothree kids who need to be in three different geographicallocations and picked up on time it can be an exhaustedtrek. These moms complain that 2 + 1 = lots more than 3.

Gladys, please give serious thoughtto the pros and cons of having a thirdchild. Never bring a baby into the worldwith the predisposed burden and expec-tation to boost Mom’s happiness. That isnot your child’s job but your solo workand exploration individually or with thesupport and guidance of a qualified psy-chotherapist.

stipulates that Venoco must im-mediately stop extracting oilfrom Beverly Hills.

To address the anticipatedrevenue loss that will confrontthe cash-strapped BHUSD start-ing in 2017, an ad-hoc commit-tee meeting at City Hall of May-or Lili Bosse, CouncilwomanNancy Krasne, Board of Educa-tion VP Howard Goldstein andBoardmember Noah Margomet Wednesday to discuss waysto supplement that revenue forthe school district.

Bosse said she had re-ceived numerous calls from res-idents concerned that the leasemight be extended.

"The truth is, it's an indus-trial facility on our school thatshouldn't be there," said Bever-ly Hills resident Jody Kleiman,whose three daughters graduat-ed BHHS. Kleiman recalledhow vigilant parents were justover a decade ago when heryoungest was in high schooland Erin Brockovich filed a law-suit alleging the BHUSD washarming students by allowingan operational oil well on thecampus. “The truth is that wewere watching everyday.”

The BHHS oil well wasgrandfathered into a City ordi-nance that prohibits oil welldrilling throughout BeverlyHills.

Per its lease agreement,Venoco will have 90 days to re-mediate the BHUSD-ownedland from possible harmful ef-fects related to having an oper-ational oil well once the leaseterminates. The lease also spec-ifies that oil well use at the sitewill be discontinued for a mini-mum of two years at the end ofnext year.

Venoco representativeswho attended Wednesday’s adhoc meeting estimated that theremediation process would takesignificantly longer than theircontract’s three-month provi-sion. Goldstein said the districtestimated an 18 to 24-month-long remediation process.

Currently, Venoco has noplan in place to begin remedia-tion.

“We’re requesting an ex-tension on the oil and gas leaseon their property,” said PatrickMoran, Venoco’s senior landnegotiator who is working on aproposal that would increaserevenue for the school district.

City Attorney Larry Wienerconfirmed that the schoolboard, as Venoco’s landlord, iswholly responsible for makingthe decision. No member of theBoard of Education has ex-pressed support to extend Veno-co’s contract.

“If my colleagues do de-cide to put an item extendingthe Venoco lease back on theagenda, I will not be in supportof it,” Margo said.

Board President BrianGoldberg clarified why he wasnot amenable to extending theVenoco contract: “Hard to ar-gue safety with tunnels andmethane fields when operatingan oil well that the state of Cal-ifornia has deemed an inca-pable use and the only reasonit’s still active is because BHHSwas grandfathered in.”

The BHUSD, which isshoring up final plans to com-pletely renovate the highschool, plans to use the areawhere the oil well now rests,cloaked in a painted facade, toexpand the BHHS athleticsfield. City Manager Jeff Kolinsaid the City is prohibited fromfurther augmenting its $10 mil-lion Joint Powers Agreementwith the school district due tothe Civic Center Act.

Bosse told Margo andGoldstein she would helpfundraise for the school districtas one way to offset the expect-ed revenue loss.

To Venoco the mayor said:“I’m not sure why you’re here ...because the meeting is aboutfinding alternate revenue.”

The ad-hoc committee ulti-mately decided to further ex-plore partnership opportunitiesusing district-owned propertyas a revenue stream for both theBHUSD and the City.

Adjudicated as a Newspaper of general circulation as defined in Section 6008of the Government Code for the City of Beverly Hills, for the Beverly HillsUnified School District, for the County of Los Angeles, for the State of Cali-fornia and for other districts which include the City of Beverly Hills within eachsuch district’s respective jurisdiction in proceeding number C110951 in Super-ior Court, California, on February 26, 1976.

Leahy and his agency the target of out-rage from many Beverly Hills residents.

What exactly Leahy’s imminent de-parture means for the City and BeverlyHills School District in its fight withMetro remains to be seen, but with newfaces on the Metro board (including In-glewood mayor James Butts) and a newincoming CEO, there seems to be newhope of re-opening discussion to re-route the subway tunnels from underBeverly Hills High.

An e-mail circulated among Beverly

Hills residents this week, urging con-cerned residents and parents to contactMetro board members with concerns,(the full list can be seen at(www.metro.net/about/board/execu-tives/).

“The Beverly Hills Mass TransitCommittee and City Council votedunanimously to support the subwaywith stops in Beverly Hills along Metro'soriginal Santa Monica Boulevard route,”the e-mail states. “But in all their pre-sentations, Metro never once even hint-ed at an alternative route under theHigh School which some have called"bait and switch."

proprietors of the very success-ful Hollywood Hotel, to buildand take ownership of the new,top-of-the-line hostelry.

Margaret Anderson over-saw every detail, from breakingground to grand opening, andopened the Hotel on May 1,1912.

Situated on a rolling hillwith views to downtown LosAngeles to the east and thesparkling Pacific to the west, itwas the extraordinary serviceprovided by the Hotel thatlured families and investorsfrom across the country. With aguiding principle that “only thebest will do,” The Hotel suc-ceeded immediately.

The Los Angeles PacificRailway, on its route to thebeach, ran a short trunk line tothe Hotel that deposited guestsat the Sunset entrance. There,they were embraced by themagnificent portico and sump-tuous foliage of architect anddesigner Elmer Grey. De-

scribed by newspapers as “aminiature city in itself,” theBeverly Hills Hotel served asthe center of the community.Residents met in the lobby forcard and board games, heldclasses and club meetings,joined for breakfast rides orhunting trips in the canyons.Children attended school rightin the Hotel, taught by teachersemployed by the Andersons.On Sundays, church serviceswere held for several differentdenominations. On ElectionDay, the Hotel was the city’spolling place. And until the cityhad its own post office manyyears later, the Hotel alsoserved as the post office andtelegraph office.

The Hotel was at the centerof every social gathering. Builtto accommodate the most dis-cerning guest, families returnedyear after year, many choosingthe Bungalows then, as now,for extended stays.

Events in the City centeredon the Hotel’s fine accommo-dations for sumptuous meals,special occasions and holiday

celebrations. In every respect,The Beverly Hills Hotel provid-ed the sense of community thecity fathers had been seekingfor years.

The well-heeled guests be-came so comfortable in the en-virons that real estate salessoon followed. Douglas Fair-banks and Mary Pickford builtPickfair behind the Hotel.Soon, some of the world’s mostrenowned celebrities were ea-ger to build their own estates inBeverly Hills.

The world famous BeverlyHills Hotel and Bungalows, soelegant and enchanting, hasplayed host to many of theworld’s most beloved figures,including the Kennedys, theBurtons, Will Rogers, MarilynMonroe, and Charlie Chaplin.Today, the Hotel itself has be-come a “celebrity.” As state-of-the-art today as it was over 100years ago, the Hotel has beensubtly renovating, maintainingevery detail of its celebratedbeauty and casual, Californiaelegance.

This year, the Fountain Cof-fee Room will open in theevenings for the first time everbeginning Feb. 18, serving a se-ries of intimate “pop-up” din-ners by Executive Chef KaleoAdams. A four-course menuwill be paired with DomaineAnderson wine selections andhighlight the best of California’sseasonal ingredients.

If more than a billion—that’sbillion with a “B”—references toyour brand were delivered aroundthe globe in the space of a fort-night, it would be a marketingcoup. It not so surprising a resultwhen Harold Matzner, majorDesert philanthropist and widely-recognized “King of Coupons,” isboard chairman of the 26th editionof the Palm Springs InternationalFilm Festival.

However, the most impressivenumber is the record-breaking rev-enue raised by the gala … $2.4million, a record for any PalmSprings Film Festival event, thanks

to generous underwriting fromHelene Galen, James R. Houston,Donna MacMillan, HaroldMatzner and Joann McGrath.

The gala was presented byCartier and hosted by the Desert’sjewel, Mary Hart. Honorees werepresented with an original glasssculpture designed by DaleChihuly or the unique, JohnKennedy “The Entertainer” statue.Sponsors of the event wereMercedes-Benz and EntertainmentTonight.

to the poor in the South for 30 years,” Baron said.“Rev. Myers became a personal friend of mine over 30

years ago, when I read an article in The New York Times onhim,” said Mach.

“It said Dr. Myers was an African American medicalmissionary who gave up a lucrative practice in theChicago-area to repay his medical school loans to the gov-ernment by bringing free medical care to the poor andindigent people of Tchula, Mississippi–the armpit ofAmerica and a place where most passersby would noteven stop for a tank of gas,” Mach said.

Since that time, Dr. Myers made a personal trip toIsrael to tour Ethiopian Jewish centers in Israel during the2014 Gaza War.

to hire approximately one full-time armed security guard ateach of the five school sites, inaddition to a supervisor.

At the City Council’s up-coming study session on Tues-day, the same day that the Boardof Education has its next meet-ing, the council will discussbackpedaling on its previouscommitment to pay the BHUSD$440,712; half the money theschool district already paid toEvidence Based Inc, the privatesecurity firm that went bankruptabout a year after it was created.

“The school district musthave a security services providerin place before the City cancomplete the contract with theschool district,” Mayor Lili Bossesaid in the wake of EBI’s bank-ruptcy.

Whether or not the BHUSDwill get the board votes to hireanother private security firm,which judging by the board-members’ public commentsseems unlikely, is just one pieceof the equation. The other pieceof the puzzle concerns whoshould pay for security at theschool since it is part of theBHPD’s job to protect all its citi-zens, including Beverly Hills stu-dents.

Bosse said she expectedBHPD to come forward thismonth with a plan to fully re-store the understaffed policeforce. Since 2012, the BHPDhas had at least 10 fulltime posi-tions that have not been filledand are fully funded.

Snowden emphasized thathis department is “trying to getback up to snuff” and supple-menting on-site security at theschools beyond what the BHPDcurrently provides is a decisionfor the Board of Education.

"We live in a different cli-mate now than even five yearsago [and] we need security at allour campuses,” BoardmemberLewis Hall said. “No parentshould be fearful of sending theirchild to any of our schools, andI've been lately getting lots ofcalls from parents. If the BeverlyHills Police Department won'tprovide the needed protection,then the district must. Everyoneknows we are strapped forfunds. I just hope the City willmeet us at least halfway in cov-ering our costs.”

The school board has beenstrongly criticized, by its ownadmission as well, for 2013’s 5-0 vote to proceed forward with asingle-source contract, in addi-tion to paying EBI before the firmrendered its services. Board VP

Howard Goldstein was not onthe board at the time of the vote.Of particular embarrassment isthe fact that that BHUSD pre-paid $135,748 for services itnever received before the firmdeclared bankruptcy last No-vember.

Board President Brian Gold-berg said he plans to open Tues-day night’s board meeting with aplan to create a safety/securityad hoc committee made up ofcommunity representatives, par-ents, students, staff and law en-forcement.

Woods said 10 securityfirms replied to the district’s Re-quest for Proposal by the Jan. 5noon deadline.

Following an initial screen-ing, the district is now in theprocess of vetting the firms inanticipation of conducting panelinterviews with the top threecandidates.

The interview panel will becomprised of BHUSD adminis-trators and principals, in addi-tion to BHPD representatives.

“We are currently workingclosely with BHPD and they areproviding security for theschools,” Woods said. “[It’s] partof their overall plan in protectingthe City [and] they are experts inthis community.”

95. “The Jewish community herewas just beginning to grow. It wasa pioneering experience for us aswell as the community ... our ear-ly experiences here were mostunusual.”

The Pressmans’ multi-yearcourtship began with a date tosee the play Boy Meets Girl andcontinued through them bothearning Bachelors of Arts at theUniversity of Pennsylvania. Ontheir wedding day, June 14, 1942,the newlywed pair embarked ona career of a rabbi and rabbi’swife.

Shortly after Rabbi Jack wasordained in 1945, Sinai Temple’sRabbi Jacob Kohn enticed theyoung rabbi to join Southern Cal-ifornia’s oldest synagogue. Theprophetic words of Talmudicscholar Louis Finkelstein rang inRabbi Jack’s ears as he traveled bytrain across the country: “In thefuture, there will be three centersof Jewish life...New York,Jerusalem and Los Angeles.”

Rabbi Jack recalled: “Werode cross country together withher mother.”

Back then, Sinai Temple wasat Fourth and New Hampshire,miles east of the Fairfax corridorthat would soon draw the Jewishdiaspora to Los Angeles. FewJews lived too far west of the tem-ple before World War II, RabbiJack recalled.

“This was post-war and a lotof young people were gettingmarried,” he said. “There weren’tthat many rabbis, so I married lotsof people.”

Marjorie recalled: “Comingout here was a wonderful movebecause we were in on the be-

ginning of so many things. It wasdifficult, but we had the freedomto do a lot of things because theorganizations and people werenot stuck and set on their ways.”

In 1950, Rabbi Jack movedfrom being a junior rabbi to leadthe Olympic Jewish Temple andCenter, subsequently precipitat-ing the name change to TempleBeth Am. To be close to the syna-gogue, which was actually on LaCienega, the growing Pressmanfamily took up residence at SouthPalm Drive in Beverly Hills.

By Fall, Rabbi Jack saw to theopening of the temple’s nurseryschool, where he enrolled hisoldest son, Daniel. He alsohelped found a number of pio-neering organizations includingthe American Jewish University,Brandeis Camp, Herzl Schools,and L.A. Hebrew High School.Over the years, he was a power-ful speaker on behalf of Bonds forIsrael, with Temple Beth Am con-tinuing to hold national records,selling $2 to $7 million worth ofIsrael Bonds annually on the hol-idays.

In 1969, Rabbi Jack becamethe founding president of TheMaple Counseling Center duringan era where drug use was si-phoning good decisions fromAmerican youth and parentswere increasingly concernedabout the abuse. In 1972 hefounded the Beth Am Academy,which was renamed the Press-man Academy upon his retire-ment in 1985. Tomorrow night,the Pressman Academy of TempleBeth Am will celebrate 43 yearsat its annual gala.

“He’s a real Renaissanceman,” Marjorie described, citingher husband’s “handy man” apti-tude for fixing anything that was

broken, in addition to his talenton the piano, performing and insinging. Rabbi Jack also paintsdelightful pictures and hassketched interesting sites fromtheir travels around the world. Heonce marched alongside MartinLuther King in Selma, Alabama,for civil rights.

Marjorie, who graduatedPenn with honors, earning a B.A.in sociology and psychology, saidshe defined the role of what arabbi’s wife should be for herself.

“Some people said, ‘You justcan’t do anything else.’ But I did-n’t buy that,” she said. “In mycase, it was whatever I made it.”

The freedom afforded by theWest Coast in an age where thenational Jewish conventions wereall held on the East Coast allowedher innovative spirit to flourishalongside the Women’s Libera-tion Movement.

She recalled how Rabbi Jackeventually drew a national Jewishconvention to L.A. and shechaired a meeting of rabbis’wives: “One said: ‘You can’t befriends with congregants.’”

Aware that congregants werehesitant to engage socially withtheir religious leaders, wheneverMarjorie met someone she con-nected with, she would take thefirst step socially. Today, she stillcounts longtime friends in thecommunity, among them fellow“Beverly Hills Elders” Janet Salterand Monty & Marilyn Hall.

“It was a friendly place,”Marjorie recalled of the City thathas been their home for 55 years.After 30 years on Palm, the emp-ty nesters moved into a condo-minium near Beverly Hills HighSchool. “Our kids were all able towalk to school.”

Their son, Joel, who like his

two siblings, Daniel and Judy, at-tended Beverly Vista and BHHS,passed away last year following ameaningful career that includedheading up the BHHS PerformingArts Department. Their eldestson, Daniel, recently retired as arabbi in San Jose while daughter,Judy, lives in Israel. They countfive grandchildren and threegreat-grandchildren.

Today, Marjorie, who helpedstart the women’s division of theNational Women’s League con-servative movement on the WestCoast in addition to helping startthe Friends of Sheba MedicalCenter for Israel’s largest hospital,is regarded as a pioneer.

“We had an opportunity todo a lot of things,” she said. “Wereally sort of had free range, be-cause there was no one preced-ing us. In a way that was good,because we could do things ourway and be innovative.”

Hector Tobar has penned abrilliant, non-fiction study of33 Chilean miners trapped for69 days in Deep Down Dark:The Untold Stories Of 33 Men

Buried In A Chilean Mine And The Untold Miracle That Set The Free(fs&g $26). Tobar sets the stage by describing the mine which wasbadly in need of repair, the owners who ignored official warnings,and the hired boss in the “white hat” who ordered the mendown–those willing to work in this lowest of mines for the money tosupport their families and their children’s college tuitions.

Written in a “you are there” format, so when the stone walls startto crumble and the sounds of crashing underground roads disap-pear, it is a nightmare for the reader to contend with. Suddenly thereis no contact with the outside world. Within the mine the men di-vide into two groups:--those who stay in the refuge where the menwould eat and rest and where there was supposed to be a lockedcabinet with food which turned out to be packs of cookies. The oth-er group stayed around the trucks and looked for any openings theycould find. After a few days of this dark isolation, religion entered inthe person of the man whom they called Parson who knew the Bible.

Up top, another world was forming and demanding a rescue bestarted. This was made up of the families of the miners, their wives,children and mistresses. Yes, there was a soap opera element to thegathering living in tents, demanding the president do something.The world’s media is camped out there with a woman named Mariais the unofficial “mayor of this tent city.” Contact is made with theminers but the problem is how to drill a hole wide enough to pullthem out. With the advice of family and attorneys the miners agreethat they would stay loyal as a group to sell their story as one. OnlyMario, a former soccer player, who has fallen on hard times, tells thestory to an English reporter.

I asked Hector when we taped if he still talked to Mario? Helaughed and said he was one of the most interesting and in themovie is played by Antonio Banderas. I also asked him about theminer who went to the bottom of the mine in the darkness that heequated with Hell. Hector told me that he later ran in the Manhat-tan Marathon and has had emotional problems.You can see this interview on You Tube/ConnieMartinsonChannel

By John MirischWith little fanfare – and by design (and we’ll get to that in a minute) – the Beverly Hills City

Council will vote next Tuesday 4-1 to give the City’s “Executive Management Group” an 11-per-cent salary increase over a two year period. The “Executive Management Group” consists of 28of the City’s executive team, including the department heads, certain deputies and the city man-ager, along with assistant city managers.

Here’s why I will be the lone dissenter. Currently, before any increases, the average total compensation within this group is $275,278

per employee. Total compensation includes base salary, pension and health care costs. The totalcompensation ranges within this group from a low of $192,911 to a high of $437,032.

Currently, the City foots the entire bill for the Cadillac defined-benefit pensions we offer theseemployees, that is, the City pays not only the employer’s share, which is currently 16.68-percent,but also the employees’ share, which is 8-percent. The employer’s share continues to increaseyear-by-year, which is one reason the total compensation for the executive group increased 16%from 2009 to 2013.

In line with the aims of PEPRA (the Public Employees Pension Reform Act), the City is now at-tempting to get all of our employees to pay their own share of pension costs. Even if they wouldbe paying their own share, the City’s share would continue to be more than double what the em-ployees pay. This stands in direct contrast to many 401k-style pensions in which private sectoremployees are lucky if their employers match their own contributions.

The 11-percent increase (which will actually be a bit more than 11-percent with compound-ing) includes what is being called an “offset.” So going forward, these executives will pay the 8-percent employee share. But the “offset” means that we are increasing their salaries by 8-percentto pay for it. In addition to the 8-percent offset, the group will be given a 3-percent salary increaseover two years.

There are those who will try to make the argument that we are not “really” giving the execu-tive group an 11-percent salary increase, because the net cost to the City will only be approxi-mately 3-percent. However, that “reasoning” simply perpetuates the paradigm that it somehowis, always has been, and should be the City’s responsibility to pay both the employer and employ-ee share of the employees’ pension costs.

I understand the implications of asking the employees to step up and pay their own share oftheir pension costs now: it would mean a reduction in take-home pay. As a compromise, my sug-gestion was to have the executive group split the 8% “employee share” pension costs with the City.Factoring in the 3-percent base salary increase, this would have meant an effective reduction intake-home pay of 1-2-percent–for employees who are already earning an average of over$275,000 in total compensation.

While there are those who feel it is the taxpayers’ responsibility to make all of our employees“whole,” my feeling is that asking executives with total compensation of over $275,000 to helppay for their own very generous pensions is the right and fair thing to do. Rather than – yet again– treating us like ATMs, cost sharing would have created a resolution which, in some small way,would be fairer to our residents.

Let’s please remember that the median household income for Beverly Hills is $86,141 (for2013, according to the U.S. Census Bureau). In other words, the average total compensation ofour executive group is already more than triple the median household income of our residents.

And so next Tuesday – while the City seems to be so quick about jacking up fees, water rates,etc. – I will be voting against the 11-percent salary increase for the executive group. In my opin-ion, it’s just not fair and it fails to balance the interests of the employees with those of our resi-dents and businesses.

Beyond being disappointed at the continuation of a paradigm in which fairness towards ourresidents doesn’t seem to play a large enough role, I’m also saddened by the fact the council haschosen to put this matter on the agenda in such a way as to solicit a minimum of public input anddiscussion. From that decision at a closed session this past Tuesday, this matter will have beensigned, sealed and delivered by the following Tuesday, effectively stifling public dialogue on thematter. This, too, is not fair towards our residents. In my opinion, consciously making decisionsto limit public input is diametrically opposed to all the principles of open government which I per-sonally cherish, and which led me to create the Sunshine Task Force when I was mayor.

While I don’t think this is the best way to start off the New Year, hopefully, it will only be ablip when we eventually reflect upon 2015 and our efforts to create a model of excellence in lo-cal government.

City Councilman John Mirisch is a former mayor of Beverly Hills.

Guest EditorialWHEN $275K PER EMPLOYEE JUSTISN’T ENOUGH...........

Paris was wounded this week in a terrorist attack that strikes atthe heart of the French values of liberty and freedom of expression.Paris became my adopted home seven months ago when I camehere for a wedding and fell in love with the city and its people. Asan American who lived through 9/11, I am not surprised by this ter-ror attack. It was just a matter of time. The City of Light seemedsafely immune to terrorism until now. Islamic extremism and anti-Semitism are both very real here in Paris, but until yesterday itseemed a lid could be kept on the simmering problems with just anoccasional flare up and a bit of a blind eye. But, I have been notic-ing increased police and military presence in Paris the past coupleof months, and their sense of heightened anxiety is apparent asthey patrol the streets and Metro stations.

As an American journalist, I cherish my freedom of speech andthe terrorist attack on Charlie Hebdo, designed to silence throughintimidation, is anathema to everything in which I believe. I amsaddened and angered by the cowardly act that took 12 lives andinjured 11 others in a misguided attempt to avenge a religiousbelief. France is a secular nation, and religious satire is part of thefabric of the country. Even the notion of silencing that is simplyimpossible to the public at large, as evidenced by the large vigilsacross the city.

Paris is a different city today. Sadder, wiser, and probablystronger. If the object of this terrorist attack was to instill fear, itfailed. Life continues and the only way to honor those who died isto live without fear and stand together with our French friends toprotect free speech “je suis Charlie” —“I am Charlie!”

Noted former television journalist Marta Waller, a past editorialcontributor to The Courier, is currently living in Paris and teach-ing a graduate marketing class at Paris West University NanterreLa Défense.

Now that our historical and exciting centennial year has cometo a close, we all must congratulate and thank everyone whomade 2014 a memorable and rewarding one in Beverly Hills.

From our amazing Mayor Lili Bosse with her leadership andinspiring walks with the people that drew our City even closertogether to the many restorations that brought back the past to thefestivities that marked the year and on and on. It was all amazing.

Some 100 years from now, Beverly Hills will be celebrating itsbicentennial and will look back at us to see how history wasmade.

There will be a great deal for them to see. That's because wecared so much about the future that generations to come will livethe same dream that we did.

We are all, Beverly Hills!! George Vreeland Hill ******

Not but a week ago, France betrays Israel in the UN and votesfor the formation of a “Palestinian State” within the 1967 borders(borders that were shared with Jordan, not a new entity). Thisaction in itself is deplorable. However, France has become a diffi-cult place for Jews to reside. In fact, it is the European countryfrom which more Jews are making aliyah (emigrating) to Israel toescape the raging anti-Semitism.

Well, it seems that all the caressing by the French governmentof these persons has not been reciprocated and 12 journalistswere massacred today in Paris because of their dislike of some car-icatures. Where would you say the real problem lies?
