O.J. Simpson’s ProsecutorChristopher Darden Takes OnBeverly Hills School DistrictBy Laura Coleman

“Hello. Can I speak toChristopher Darden please,”The Courier asked.

It was him– one of the at-torneys (along with MarciaClark) who had prosecutedO.J. Simpson and failed to geta conviction.

“Do you know who I am?,”Darden asked.

The Courier did: “You arethe attorney of June Tapscott-Bazzi.”

Former Beverly Hills Uni-fied School District employeeTapscott-Bazzi spent fournights in jail after Beverly HillsPolice arrested her on Sept. 12on the belief that she hadstolen $21,000 from theBHUSD.

On Tuesday, Darden re-placed the public defender as-signed to the case and got thepreliminary hearing continuedto Oct. 29.

“So, why’d you take thecase?” The Courier asked.

“Barbara Walters tried thattoo,” he said in prelude to hissteadfast refusal to commenton the case.

Darden did share, howev-er, that he was eating tuna from

a can and his son, a privateschool student, had just gottenan A on his chemistry exam.

“Today’s a great day,” hesaid, subsequently sharing thathis “chances of getting intoheaven” were iffy.

A months-long investiga-tion by the BHUSD determinedthat Tapscott-Bazzi had beenstealing funds from the BeverlyHills High School studentstore.

Prior to taking up a part-time position in the studentstore in 2012, Tapscott-Bazzi,33, served as a secretary forCarter Paysinger.

Paysinger, a veteranBHUSD employee since the1970’s, is currently suing thedistrict for discrimination. For-mer L.A. District Attorney can-didate Alan Jackson is onPaysinger’s legal team.

BHUSD attorney VincentEwing said that the BHUSDwitnesses and the BHPD detec-tive assigned to the case werescheduled to return to the air-port courthouse for the prelim-inary hearing on Oct. 29.

Darden told The Courierhe would have more to saythen.

Chair, Councilmember GilbertCedillo and CouncilmemberMitchell Englander, the appli-cation was approved and sentto the Los Angeles City CouncilWednesday.

On Wednesday, the CityCouncil (including 11thDistrict Councilman PaulKoretz) unanimously approvedthe application in one votewith several other applications,denying the BAHOA attorneyscomment, though they hadfilled out a comment card relat-ed to the project. The approvalswere granted without commentand without discussion.

A lawsuit was filedThursday in Los AngelesSuperior Court.

The environmental lawsuitwill have priority in the courtsand is expected to come to trialwithin 10 months to a year,said Richard Zeilinga, attorneyfor the BAHOA. The trial isbased on public records andwill have no witnesses and nonew evidence.

If successful, a Writ ofMandate will be issued vacat-ing all permit approvals andordering an EnvironmentalImpact Report (EIR). In addi-

tion, the plaintiffs may berequired to pay attorney’s fees,already six figures, which areexpected to be even more sub-stantial.

“By this action we arechallenging the Somma Wayproject and we don’t knowhow expansive the court ordermight be,” said Zeilinga.

But it is hoped that theresult will be that the City willreconsider their policy of issu-ing a Mitigated NegativeDeclaration and considerrequiring an EIR for the massivehillside projects that undertaketo move thousands of cubicyards of earth through narrow,steep, winding streets, saidZeilinga.

In the fragile hillside envi-ronment, prone to slides, fireand floods, the unintendedconsequences of such massiveexcavation could be disastrous.Even one stalled truck could becatastrophic.

The Somma Way projecthas galvanized the communityin opposition, opening up the‘disconnect’ between the resi-dents who oppose the projectand are members of theAlliance and the Bel-AirAssociation (BAA), which sub-mitted a letter of support to thePLUM Committee without dis-

cussing it with most of the resi-dents on Somma Way andStone Canyon who are themajor stakeholders, nor thecounsel for the Alliance.Fredric D. Rosen, the CEO andPresident of the Alliance stated,“The BAA has clearly lost itsway. I’m not sure who they aretrying to protect, but its clearlynot the residents who are mostimpacted by this project. That’swhat happens when you oper-ate in a vacuum.”

In fact, the BAA threatenedthe community with a restrain-ing order if residents continuedto communicate with the BAA,many of them long-time mem-bers.

However, as if representingthe community, the BAA sup-port letter asked that the devel-oper “contribute $500 to theBel-Air Associations flagshipprogram ‘Project Pothole,’which funds are specificallyearmarked to repair potholesand other street issues exacer-bated by the project’s dirt haul-ing and construction relatedvehicles. If the developer usesdouble axle dirt hauling trucks,we ask that the amount beincreased to $750 per 500cubic yards due to the dramati-cally increased damage suchvehicles cause our streets. This

feel shall be paid UPON THEEARLIER TO OCCUR OF: (1)The City of Los AngelesDepartment of Building andSafety sign-off on the founda-tion permit or (2) 180 daysupon completion of the HaulRoute.”

The L.A. Board of Buildingand Safety Commissionersapproved the project on Sept. 2with a finding that “this projectwill not have a significant effecton the environment pursuant tothe City’s EnvironmentalGuidelines.”

It is unclear how an organ-ization that is not a governmentagency, is not affiliated with theCity of Los Angeles Bureau ofStreet Services nor with theDepartment of Public Works,could collect public funds orfix potholes on public streets.The BAA has not answeredphone calls.

The BAA denies that theyhave received money from theSomma developers – which isclear. The conditions they enu-merated have not yet been met.

“Its clearly an organizationwhose membership is declin-ing, which means they arelooking for revenue streamswherever they can,” saidRosen. “Their actions here areclearly a betrayal to the resi-

dents of Bel Air.”At the hearing some miti-

gation was granted, includingshortening haul hours to 9 a.m.– 3 p.m. on weekdays only;increasing the number of flag-men from three to five; requir-ing identification placards tobe displayed in each haul vehi-cle; and allowing only onehaul truck at a time within BelAir –“no crossing of two haul-ing vehicles shall be allowed.”

The application Nonn sub-mitted enumerated a total of29,474 cubic yards of earth tobe hauled, requiring at least6,000 truck trips. Somma rep-resentatives claim that theyactually will “only” be hauling25,701 cubic yards of soil.

BAHOA attorneys addedthe previously undisclosedamount estimated to be 19,634cubic yards of soil required toexcavate 270 soldier piles, forwhich the City of Los Angeles,under the present law, does notinclude in the cubic yards total---another fact that makes nosense under the existing. build-ing codes

In fact, it is unclear, with-out a permit, if any of the haulroute conditions would applyfor this additional soil.

Together, that totals over

REAL ESTATE50,000 cubic yards of earth.

That amount of earth would requirethousands of truck trips over two years –but the permit is only for 180 days.

At the hearing Tuesday, CouncilmanPaul Koretz’ 11th District Planning andLand Use Deputy Shawn Bayliss askedfor additional conditions, including thatthere be a grading inspector present atthe applicants expense to insure the saferemoval of earth and that the project belimited to removing the applicant’s statedrequirement of 25,701 cubic yards ofsoil, to which the applicant agreed.

If the project comes to fruition, it isunclear where the trucks would be stag-ing, though with the one-truck limit, it isclear that it would not be in Bel Air. Noris it clear how, with the limits imposed,the applicant would complete the haul inthe allotted time.

The letter submitted by the BAAwould actually eliminate the “no cross-ing of two hauling vehicles” and insteadwould read, “Staggering: No more thanTwo Dirt Haul Trucks may be within anyproject staging area at any time, and DirtHaul Trucks must be staggered to a mini-mum of ten minutes between the depar-tures of each Dirt Truck leaving the proj-ect site.”

In addition, the BAA letter omits theweekend prohibition for hauling anddecreases the number of flagmen fromfive to three.

The support letter from the BAA wasfollowed up with an email that went outtwice; first to a select group of members,and then a blind copy sent to and

unknown number of homeowners, bothmembers and non-members, authored byBAA attorney Andrew Skale. In it,through their attorney, BAA PresidentCynthia Arnold accused the BAHOA ofharassing emails that were “threatening,”and warned of “an injunction or restrain-ing order.” The letter also says the emailshave caused “grave concern” for the“safety and well-being of the principals,Arnold and Paulette DuBey. Skalecharges that all the letters say “the samething,” and that “constitutes harassment.”

Rosen asked residents to expresstheir sentiments in their own words, hesaid. He did not tell them what to say.

Rosen asked that the BAA sit downwith the BAHOA. “The Alliance and theresidents are against the hauling route –the BAA is for the hauling route, and as aresult, is to receive a payment per truck-load – which can total $30,000 – so theyget money while the neighbors are put indanger . . . exactly who are they help-ing,” asked Rosen. He wants the twoorganizations to “set ground rules for anew, larger group with the Alliance andfind a way to put the two groups togeth-er . . . [to] get a real combined organiza-tion that is prepared, strong and wellfunded.” The BAA has ignored the offerand has remained silent. He furthercommented “Its all about them—notwhat’s best for the community as awhole. They still will not provide us witha directory of who their officers anddirectors are.”

OVERTURNED VEHICLE–-Resident Monca Kelson, Ph.D., encountered a speedinghaul truck southbound on Stone Canyon Rd. June 17. The truck was in the north-bound lane, forcing her vehicle to the side, where another truck was illegally parkedin a no-parking area. Residents who oppose the Somma Way project fear more of thesame with more catastrophic results. Fortunately, Dr. Kelson survived.

By Laura ColemanL.A. native Bettie Bearden Pardee got some

hometown loving this week when she returnedto promote her recent book Living Newport:Houses, People, Style, which offers an intimatelook into the lives and homes of an elite groupof people who live in the 375-year-old NewEngland port town.

“I like to say its been trending since 17thcentury,” Pardee shared this week, in between abook signing luncheon at the Hollyhock House,a luncheon presentation for the Beverly Hillsand Bel Air garden clubs at the Bel Air CountryClub and an event for the Beverly HillsWomen’s Club. “The past and present exist soseamlessly in Newport.”

Founded in 1639 as a colony strong on re-ligious freedom, the Rhode Island gem at thetop of the island is perhaps best well known asthe original home of the America’s Cup.

Pardee said the opulent homes that wereconstructed in the so-called “Gilded Age” ofthe late 1800s which drew notable architects,furniture makers and gardeners to the wealthyenclave will serve as the inspiration for an up-coming Downton Abbey which focus on theAmerican heiresses who were nick-named“dollar princesses” for marrying Europeans for atitle.

The spectacularly beautiful book is a fol-low-up to her book Private Newport and like-wise captures the old-world charm of the town.

Living Newport is available at the Holly-hock House. It is also available online at New-portStyle.net, Barnes & Noble and Amazon.

Jonsson Cancer Center Researchers FindMelanoma Drug Combo Improves Survival Rate

A UCLA researcher at the JonssonComprehensive Cancer Center helpedpioneer a new therapy that combines thedrug Zelbora with an experimental drugcobimetinib, allowing metastaticmelanoma patients to live longer andwithout the harsh side effect of a second-ary skin cancer seen in some patientsprescribed Zelboraf alone.

In a new study co-authored by Dr.Antoni Ribas, UCLA professor of medi-cine (hematology and oncology) andJCCC member, researchers found that theBRAF mutation gives melanoma the sig-nal to grow continuously as a cancer.Zelboraf taken by itself cannot complete-ly block that signal, but when cobime-tinib is added, the combination forcesthe melanoma to respond better.

The study was published online lastweek in The New England Journal ofMedicine, and will later appear in theprint edition on next month.

The scientific basis of this combina-tion is based on prior studies by Dr.Roger Lo, associate professor of medi-cine (dermatology) and JCCC member,who had described the mechanisms ofhow melanoma became resistant toZelboraf and the addition of a drug-likecobimetinib would prevent these mecha-nisms.

In addition, previously researchershad discovered that a harsh side effectof a secondary cancer had developed in25 percent of patients who had beengiven Zelboraf alone.

“"We wondered why it was that wewere getting the melanoma to shrink,but another skin cancer was develop-ing,” said Dr.Ribas.

It turned out that giving cobime-tinib in combination with Zelboraf de-creased this important side effect.

An estimated 70,000 new cases ofmelanoma are diagnosed in the U.S.each year.

Of those, 8,000 people will die ofthe disease. About 50 percent of pa-tients with metastatic melanoma, or4,000 people a year, have a mutatedprotein called BRAF mutation and canbe treated with Zelboraf (also known asvemurafenib). The U.S. Food and DrugAdministration approved use of Zelbo-raf in August of 2011.

Results of the study also showedthe drug combination extended the du-ration of response to the drug from amedian of six months with Zelborafalone to nine months with the combi-nation

The data was collected internation-ally over a one-year period. 495 pa-tients participated at 135 sites in theUnited States, Australia, New Zealandand Europe. Zelboraf was administeredtwice daily, in combination with co-bimetinib which was taken once a dayfor 21 days, followed by seven days off.

The next step is to seek FDA ap-proval for cobimetinib in combinationwith Zelboraf, in the hopes that patientswill benefit from the drug combination.

Q. Dear Dr. Fran: What is themost important thing that par-ents, teachers, kids with ADD,and siblings can do to help theirkids deal with the feeling ofbeing different or apart?

Charles V.

A. Dear Charles: The mostimportant and best thing parentscan do to help their kids dealwith the feeling of being differ-ent and apart is empathize.

So many parents make themistake of denial. In trying tocomfort, they say somethinglike, “That’s not true, you’re justlike everyone else!” Your childknows the truth.

Instead, say something like,“I can imagine sometimes it’shard being you when you tryyour best and hardest and thingsjust don’t go the way you hopeor wish. That’s hard.”

• Partnering a child with

ADD can be helpful in the class-room, particularly if the partneris kind, patient and compassion-ate. It combats the child withADD from feeling lonely and onthe outside looking in. That isthe single hardest piece of thecomplicated equation for kids atschool.

• Also, teachers can help byseating the child with ADD inthe front center or front sideaway from visual (sight) andauditory (hearing) distractions.

• Teachers can also imple-ment a private reward system inwhich the impulsive child earns

rewards for restraining inappro-priate impulses (calling outanswers, grabbing neighborspencils, jumping up out of hisseat, etc.).

• Often, these kids arehelped by joining a social skillsgroup (the right fit groupmatched to similar type of kids).It helps to know you are not theonly one who feels the way youdo. Get support where yourchild can talk and listen.

• Siblings should not beexpected to help or carry anyburden of responsibility for theirsiblings with a disability. I treatmany “normal” siblings of kidswith a diagnosis who need somuch help and support becausethey feel cheated out of an equalfull tablespoon of Mommy’sattention. Moms are so busytransporting the disabled childto therapy sessions and support-ive treatments that the other kidswho are quote “normal” feelgypped. Don’t add insult toinjury by expecting even moreout of the child without a diag-nosis.

Q. Dear Dr. Fran: If a parent isdating, when is the appropriatetime to introduce a date to thechild? What problems could thechild experience if introducedtoo soon? Too late? Eva Y.

A. Dear Eva: The appropriatetime for a parent to introducetheir child to their dating partneris after a mutual commitment tothe new relationship has beenmade. This generally takes atleast six months.

The negative risk for thechild if introduced too soon isprimarily that he could becomeattached to the dating partnerand when the relationship does-n’t work out, and the couplebreak-up, the child once againloses a well-bonded male (orfemale) attachment figure. It canbe traumatic and reopen theoriginal divorce wound and thememory of losing Dad (orMom).

The only negative a childcan feel if told too late is a feel-ing of mild to moderate betrayal.... ”Why didn’t you tell me forall these months? You’re keep-ing secrets!”

Lean on the side of caution… wait to involve your childuntil you and your new partnerbecome seriously attached anddiscuss real commitment suchas moving in together, engage-ment, or marriage.

LADBS building code’s heightlimit.

A 901 Strada Vecchianeighbor Joseph Horacek,however, says the ruling hasn’tdeterred Hadid. Horacek, wholed the charge to have the proj-ect more thoroughly studied bythe city of L.A., had one of hisattorney’s, Todd Nelson, fire offa letter to LADBS GeneralManager Ray Chan on Sept. 29,notifying the LADBS of contin-uing construction activity at thesite.

Horacek’s letter alleges“the applicant has continuallyperformed illegal constructionwork on the project for severalmonths in complete disregardof the multiple stop-workorders issued by LADBS...Theapplicant cannot be allowed tosimply ignore the city’s laws forany longer.”

The letter continues thatHoracek, and other neighbors,have been able to “easilyobserve the Applicant’s unper-mitted construction activitiesfrom vantage points located onthe public right of way andfrom neighboring properties.”

According to the letter, the

work continuing at the siteincludes: “large groups ofworkers entering and leavingthe site by car and truck, theoperation of powered construc-tion equipment inside and out-side the half-built project, thecutting of stone facade materi-al...the installation of new win-dows and sliding glass doors,and the placement of rebarmaterial.”

LADBS Chief InspectorLuke Zamperini told TheCourier on Thursday that theproject has been “visited by aninspector 25 times in the last30 days” with no violationsfound and that “we would notbe very happy if we found ille-gal work going on up there. Ifthey’re doing anything, we’regoing to catch them.”

Zamperini said what theinspector has found are work-ers at the project “maintainingthe property. There is plasticcovering the hillside, and theyhave a crew that checks forholes, waters plants andsweeps up.”

“It’s basically a mainte-nance crew, not a constructioncrew,” Zamperini added. “Theinspector goes out, walks thesite and checks for any signs ofconstruction. There is no con-struction going on.”

Miriam Levin, Assistant ToWarren Cowan, Dies At 95By John L. Seitz

Miriam Levin, a 30-yearBeverly Hills resident, diedSept. 26, at age 95.

After moving toLos Angeles in 1983,she worked at theRogers & Cowanpublic relationsagency, eventuallybecoming executiveassistant to legendary publicistWarren Cowan first at Rogers &Cowan and continuing later atWarren Cowan & Associateswhich he formed in 1994. Fordecades, she worked with suchclients as Paul Newman, MervGriffin and Kirk Douglasamong other notables.

Born May 6, 1919 in NewYork, Levin raised her family in

Philadelphia where she wasoffice manager of theUniversity of Pennsylvania’s

Scheie Eye Institute. She is survived

by her childrenGwenn Abrahams-Marks (Major),Michael Swerdloff,Helaine Ross-Pearlstein (Howard),

and Lisa Abel (Michael); andgrandchildren AndrewAbrahams (Maura), Joey andSamantha Abel; and great-grandchildren Max, Nina andZachary Abrahams.

Donations may be made inmemory of Miriam to TowerCancer Research Foundation(www.towercancerfoundation.org).

Selwyn said. “My parents hadno idea what Beverly Hills was.[He] may as well have saidBakersfield.”

The Selwyns soon movedinto a home on South CrescentDrive and precisely one monthlater the historic 11-day Malibufire broke-out.

“The entire sky was or-ange,” Selwyn recalled. “Ithought the world was endingand we were all going to dieand get burned up.”

But life went on and youngSelwyn began attending Bever-ly Vista and learning to speakEnglish.

In 1939, he saw his firstmovie, Snow White And TheSeven Dwarfs, at the WarnersBeverly Hills Theatre atWilshire and Canon. Later, Sat-urday mornings were spentwatching Hopalong Cassidyfilms in the old Beverly CanonTheatre, known as “The Hitch-ing Post.”

“Kids would come on bicy-cles and tie them up to thehitching post in front of the the-atre like they were horses,” hesaid.

A big sign read: “Checkyour guns at the door.” And thekids obliged and turned overtheir cap pistols.

“We all thought we werecowboys,” Selwyn added.

During the War, his father,who had successfully relocatedhis diamond business from Bel-gium to Beverly Hills, served inthe Beverly Hills Auxiliary Po-lice force where he was taskedwith ensuring no one poisonedthe reservoir at Rexford andSunset.

In 6th grade, the familymoved to North Roxbury Driveand Selwyn began attending ElRodeo (47’) and later BeverlyHills High School, where hewas a member of the BHHStennis team, which won theState Championship in 1951.

Among the more vividmemories from that time, Sel-wyn counts July 7, 1946 whenHoward Hughes crashed hisplane on Whittier Drive whileaiming to land at nearby L.A.Country Club.

“One Sunday afternoon,we heard an airplane flyingvery low and it sounded like ithad engine problems,” Selwynrecounted. “Shortly thereafterwe heard many sirens and weall ran over to see what hadhappened. [Hughes] had triedvaliantly to cross Whitier Driveand was 100 yards short ofmaking it.”

After graduating fromBHHS, Selwyn studied politicalscience at UCLA and joinedthe Navy ROTC program. Aftergraduating, he was commis-sioned in 1955, and subse-quently stationed at Subic Bayin the Phillipines where heserved as the disbursing officer.

After that, he worked forHarold International in HongKong for two years until his fa-ther had a heart attack in 1959and Selwyn returned to BeverlyHills to run the family’s jewelrymanuacturing business, Paulingand Co. Selwyn served as own-er/president from 1959 until1990.

Just a few months after hisreturn to Beverly Hills, Sel-wyn’s life took anotherserendipitous twist when hemet his wife-to-be, Joan Gor-don in February 1959. (Selwynhas now been married to theFriends of Robinson Gardensfounder for 55 years.) One oftheir earliest dates was at Ye Lit-tle Club on Canon and LittleSanta Monica where theywatched Joan Rivers perform.They spent their wedding nightat The Beverly Hills Hotel,which on May. 23, 1959, was$25 for the room.

His life changed throughJoan. Through his wife, he be-came interested in art and theystarted collecting contempo-rary art in the 1960s. This be-came an important part of theirlife and served as a catalyst fortheir son Marc’s entry into theart world. Earlier this year, theMarc Selwyn Fine Art galleryopened in Beverly Hills.

Selwyn’s second child,Laura, was born in October1962, the night of the CubanMissile Crisis. Selwyn recalled:“Joan was very pregnant....andPresident Kennedy comes ontelevision and says, ‘We maybe at war in the morning.’”

Both children wentthrough the Beverly Hillsschool system and Selwyn re-called that it was a particularlyidyllic time to raise two chil-dren in Beverly Hills.

Selwyn recalled the manywonderful restaurants that dot-ted the City in its earlier days.To this day, he still recalls thetaste of Armstrong Shroeder’sscrambled eggs, stewed toma-toes and rye toast He remem-bers the curly-q fries and cartrays at Simon’s Drive-in andDelores’ Drive-in; the ham-burgers at Biff’s on Wilshire;Wil Wright’s ice cream “so richit would stick to the roof ofyour mouth;” the “memorable”crunch cake at Blum’s onWilshire and Beverly; the Sa-loon, the outdoor dining at theSwiss Cafe, and the Luau onRodeo were all memorable.

In the late 1970’s, Selwynsaid he became actively in-volved in the City once he rec-ognized how dramatically thelandscape could change. Herecounted how in 1959 therewere only two significantbuildings on Wilshire; The Bev-erly Wilshire and the CaliforniaBank Building. Between 1959

and 1964, he said, dozens ofeight-story buildings were builtalong Wilshire Boulevard fromSanta Monica to San Vicente,thus altering the landscape toits present high-rise density.

“The City changed drasti-cally during that five-year peri-od,” he said.

In 1978 then-Mayor JoeTillem appointed him to theCity’s first Rent AdjustmentBoard, which Selwyn served onfrom 1978-1980 before movingonto the Architectural Commis-sion, which he served on until1986. Selwyn then spent eightyears serving on the PlanningCommission where until 1994he help regulate what could bebuilt in residential areas. Underhis watch the commission de-veloped the Bulk Ordinance,which codified restrictions onheight limits.

“I felt that I was able togive something back to thecommunity that I grew up inand that I loved,” he said. “Bev-erly Hills is a unique communi-ty. It’s an oasis in the middle ofa very large urban area.”

In the 1990’s Selwyn saidhe embarked on what he con-siders to be his most profoundCity-shaping endeavor; helpingto create the Wallis AnnenbergCenter for the Performing Artswhere the historic Beverly HillsPost Office once stood.

Selwyn recounted how inthe late 1920s honorary MayorWill Rogers said: “We’ll neverbe a real City until we have ourown post office.” As a result,the City deeded the spot to thegovernment for $1. Thanks to a“genius” City Hall clerk whohad deeded only the propertyunder the footprint of the build-ing, the rest of the block re-mained the property of the City,which meant that the buildingwas decidedly less valuablethan what the U.S. Post Officebelieved.

Around the time the his-toric Post Office went up forsale, Selwyn banded togethercivic leaders Carolyn Ahman-son, Dick Rosenzweig and Ker-man Berricker to preserve theCity’s heritage. In January 1994he became the founding presi-dent of the Beverly Hills Cul-tural Center Foundation.

Selwyn said that then-May-or Vicki Reynolds was instru-mental in helping the City pur-chase the building and allow-ing the foundation to negotiatean agreement for a performingarts complex. Wallis Annen-berg subsequently provided thelead gift and Bram Goldsmithtook over as founding chair-man in 2000.

“It’s very emotional everytime I see people arriving,” Sel-wyn said. “It’s been a majorbenefit to the community. Peo-ple are embracing it. That’sprobably the most importantthing I’ve done for the commu-nity.”

bought the house in 1963.Petersen died of cancer in 2007and his wife died in 2011. Thehouse was sold last year.

The new owners, accord-ing to their attorney SteveWebb, originally hoped torestore the property. Theyretained PCR services for alandmark assessment preparedin May 2014. PCR did not rec-ommend the home for historicpreservation “because of sub-stantial alterations that haveremoved or altered key primarycharacter-defining features,”that “detract significantly fromthe property’s eligibility.”

Though historic person-ages had resided at the home,the home was not associatedwith significant work. PCRfindings were that the “resi-dence is substantially alteredand does not retain integrity.”Specifically, the “removal ofWilliam’s signature-designedColonial Revival front portico,doors, and second-story win-dows have altered the distinc-tive characteristics of the sub-ject residence . . . The resi-dence no longer retains its pri-mary character-defining fea-tures and integrity from theperiod of significance and thealterations compromised theproperty’s integrity.”

The City’s consultant, JanOstashay, did not agree.Ostashay & Associates foundthat the “property retainsintegrity from its period of sig-nificance” and that “the prop-erty has historic value.”

Ostashay argued that fewestates are extant in the originalform by Paul R. Williams; theloss of integrity would be offsetby, in this case, the rarity ofsimilar prospects.

Commissioner Waldowpointed out that “rarity” wasnot in the City’s ordinance.

William Crouch did notrecommend the propertybecause of the “loss of integri-ty.” Crouch cited the buildingpermit history, specifically “thepermit for sand-blasting of orig-inal exterior clay bricks,” hewrote. “Sandblasting removedthe original mortar coursingand the natural clay glaze fromthe brickwork allowing forwater intrusion through theexterior brick veneer skinresulting in advanced corrosionof the brick ties . . . In somedamage caused by water infil-tration is well advanced . . . theremoval and replacement ofbottom wall plates impregnat-

ed in creosote is a costly repairrequiring demolition.”

“In the staff’s opinion theloss of integrity caused by thesandblasting and numerouschanges to the original archi-tecture, including the removalof the original, character defin-ing Paul R. Williams designedentry portico, aggravated bycurrent health and safety con-cerns leads to a find of ‘Loss ofIntegrity’ in this case.”

Waldow also explainedthat the ordinance does notaddress poor condition; Webbsaid that the brickwork alone isestimated to cost $500,000.The fact that the owners do notwant the property landmarkedis not the commission’s con-cern.

Webb said the ownershave hired an architect torecreate the same plan thatWilliams used in a GeorgianRevival style. “They would nothave gone through the expenseto attempt to restore the home.They did buy an historic prop-erty and try to restore it.”

Waldo also said that thestructural problems and haz-ardous waste were not thecommission’s concern, callingsuch concerns a “slipperyslope.” He deferred to the City.

Pynoos and Waldo votedin favor of landmark status andin opposition to the resolutionto decline landmarking.“Despite the changes and alter-ations, I feel it does retain afeeling, location, design, asso-ciation. I do feel demolitionwould be a loss to the builtenvironment and the history ofBeverly Hills,” saidCommissioner RebeccaPynoos.

Vice Chair Lisa Greerreferred to the alterations. “Iam not comfortable . . . Theywould be out of the question ifthe property were already land-marked,” she said. CommissionChair Maralee Beck disagreedwith Waldo on the issues ofhealth and safety. “We wouldbe derelict not to consider exi-gencies,” said Beck, saying thatCommissioners “have to live inthe real world.”

A resolution memorializingthe split decision will be pre-sented for approval at the nextcommission meeting on Oct. 8,but the split rules out a land-mark designation.

The CHC also approvedtwo Mills Act designations tobe recommended to CityCouncil for the landmarked JoeE. Brown residence on WaldenDrive and the McGilvray houseon North Alpine Drive.

Titans Offense Too Much For Normans To Handle In Crowell Cup LossSan Marino 49, Beverly Hills 14

GIVING CHASE—Beverly Hills High’s Dylan Rutigliano (#7), HarrisonVan Pelt (#74) and Wyatt Rhoads (#2) chase down San Marino’s JPShohfi in Friday’s loss. Photo By San Marino Tribune

By Matt LopezIt was easy last Friday for

Charlie Stansbury to see theimprovements Beverly HillsHigh’s football team has madein his 14 games as coach, but itwasn’t enough to earn a victo-ry in San Marino.

Beverly Hills High fell tothe San Marino Titans last Fri-day 49-14 in a nonleague roadgame to win the Crowell Cup.

Despite the lopsided finalscore, it wasn’t all bad. After a64-6 loss to that same SanMarino squad last year, Stans-bury said it was easy, comingoff the team’s first win since2012 last week, to see the stepsforward his team has taken.

“That’s the best we’veplayed against that team inthree years, but they’re a greatteam and they did some goodthings” Stansbury said. “Theirquarterback is a good player,and there were times where wewere in great spots and he de-livered it where nobody elsecould get it but his receiver.”

The game was scorelessthrough six minutes until thefirst quarter until San Marinogot its scoring barrage starteduntil Beverly Hills eventuallygot on the board in the thirdquarter after Joe Kolko cappedoff a 10-play, 66-yard drivewith a 1-yard TD run.

Later on, Rashad Ysaquirre

scored on a 10-yard touch-down run to finish a 9-play, 80-yard drive that included abeautiful 39-yard pass fromMike Massie to PJ Goolsby.

BHHS once again ran theball well, with Kolko tallying107 yards and a TD on 16 car-ries. Ysaquirre added 79 yardsand a TD on 11 carries.

Defensively, the Normanshad trouble stopping San Mari-no’s spread misdirection offen-sive attack.

The Normans (1-3) hostedSouth Pasadena Thursday nightat 7 p.m., after The Courier’spress time.

Fusion Academy: Non-Traditional SchoolWith Customized Classrooms

Fusion Academy is a private schoolfor students in sixth-12th gradewhere all classes are taught “one

teacher to one student.” Here, the educational experience

is completely customized around eachstudent. Classes are self-paced, andthe material is presented in a way thatconsiders each student’s interests,strengths, and learning style.

Fusion Academy teachers areexperts in their subject areas, so stu-dents will likely have a dif ferentteacher for each class. However, eachstudent also has a lead teacher whoacts as the student’s mentor and is themain source of communicationbetween the school and parents.

The schools practice the MasteryLearning instructional method, mean-ing that teachers don’t move on to thenext lesson until the student hasdemonstrated proficiency with the cur-rent one. So if a student is strugglingwith a certain topic, the teacher willwork with the student for as long as ittakes for them to understand the mate-rial. And if that student is a naturalwhen it comes to another topic, theymight even get to advance to the nextlesson early.

For some students, the traditionallecture-based class isn’t conducive tolearning. They may learn most effec-tively by doing a hands-on activity. Orrole playing. Or reading a passage out

of a book. The point is, every studenthas a unique learning style. FusionAcademy teachers identify that style,and then tailor their instruction to fit it.This makes us an ideal fit for studentswith learning dif ferences such asADHD or dyslexia, who may requirespecialized instruction.

Students may attend FusionAcademy full-time, or enroll in FusionLearning Center’s tutoring, summer,and classes for credit programs as aneducational supplement.

Founder Michelle Rose Gilman,conceptualized an approach that per-sonalized education using a mentoringapproach to help students not thrivingin a traditional learning environment.

“Our students have found successbecause they are being taught to theirlearning strengths and gain a self-awareness otherwise untapped in atypical classroom,” said ClarissaVasquez, MA MFT, director of admis-sions and outreach.

“Unlike many traditional schools,Fusion Academy accentuates our cre-ative arts classes, offering music in anactual on-campus recording studio andunique expressive arts courses.”

Local locations are: 1640Sepulveda Blvd., Suite 100, 310-445-2516 and 5757 Wilshire Blvd, 1stFloor Promenade, 323-692-0603.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 3). Yourlife’s palate is craving new flavor, andthere are a lot of recipes you have totry. The habit you develop the next10 weeks will not only help yourself-esteem, but it will enhance aclose relationship. November is forgetting clear and concrete aboutyour professional and personalgoals. A mentor will help inDecember. Capricorn and Sagittariuspeople adore you.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Love yourmistakes and lighten up. Who saidyou need to be right all of the time—or any of the time, for that matter?When you slip up, don’t agonize.Assess your new position and startfrom there. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).Contemplation comes easily to youtoday, and you will mentally untie aknot that’s been keeping you boundto tired, unhappy ideas. What youonce thought was inevitable nowdoesn’t seem so.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Ifyou’ve been holding on to an uglylittle piece of regret, chuck it. Resol-ution will be painless. Declare thatyou did what you could and you’lldo better in the future. Then let itdrop.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Youdon’t need to battle your fear. Trybefriending it instead. Fear keeps yousafe. It heightens your perceptionand helps you correct your coursewhen necessary. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Youtake pride in caring for others well.The skills you exhibit in accommo-dating others foretell that you willhave no difficulty succeeding in lifeon a variety of fronts. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). Makingthe healthy choice may not changeeverything immediately, but yoursense of self-worth will be strength-ened each time choices are alignedwith your best self. ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). Fearlesscourage isn’t courage; it’s foolish-ness. Real courage always has fearattached to it. Life is better when youmake room in your mind for fear andexcitement to exist simultaneously. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). Youdon't have to pursue happiness --you were born with it. What you dohave to do is protect it. Don't let any-one encroach on your joy. If some-one took your joy, get it back.GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The babybird jumping out of a tree for the firsttime can be a hard thing to watch. Alot of awkwardness and risk go intolearning to fly. Awkwardness and riskare essential parts of all beginnings. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Youwon’t get the power you seek, sodon’t seek it. Go the other directionand let go instead, and you may justfind you suddenly have great influ-ence over what happens. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your karma ispretty straightforward: give the bestyou have, and the best comes backto you. Tonight your soul will be for-tified by a bit of wild beauty. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). People’sperceptions of you will be distortedby their own programs. Their per-spective will be severely limited, andso their approval or disapprovalmeans nothing. Stand by your valueswithout worrying about what anyoneelse thinks.

WEEK’S PAPER…

Frances AllenDesert Roundup

First, there was the Fabulous Palm Springs Follies, sweptbehind a curtain of yesterday’s memories. It lasted more than twodecades and its chorus line of 65-plus dancers was known aroundthe world. But then the performers got younger and the box officetakings became lighter, so the curtain came down on the Folliesthis past spring.

Then, the focus fell on golf, and the last reincarnation of theColgate Dinah Shore’s women golf tournament became the KraftNabisco Championship. After being a named-tournament for 43years, the first major event of the yearly LPGA tour became name-less with the termination of Kraft’s sponsorship. Thankfully it wasstill called, unofficially, the Dinah Shore by those avid golfers withfond memories.

Now it’s the Bob Hope that’s getting the axe.Begun in 1960, what was then known as the Palm Springs

Golf Classic, (though none of the four desert golf courses partici-pating \were located in Palm Springs), changed its name to theBob Hope Desert Classic five years later in recognition of the sup-port provided for the event by the world famed comedian.

Things progressed relatively well until 1985, when auto-maker Chrysler, which had been a long-time sponsor as well asproviding vehicles for transportation during tournament week,decided to up the ante and become the official title sponsor t,which was then to be known as the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic.

Things still appeared to be going well at the tourney, whichgenerated millions of dollars for Desert charities. In fact, as evi-dence of its cache, the 1995 tournament featured an historicevent: the first “fivesome” to play there, when defending champi-on, Scott Hooch joined Bob Hope, two former Presidents, GeraldFord and George H.W. Bush, along with the then sitting President,Bill Clinton for a photo-op round of golf.

Bob Hope died in 2003, and looking, back thisappears to bewhen the “wheels started coming off the bus.” The American carmanufacturing industry needed more than a high-profile corpo-rate sponsor that was, itself, approaching bankruptcy, andChrysler quit the event after the 2008 event was played.

With the 2009 tournament sponsorship gone, the scramblewas on to obtain a name-sponsor but it took three years and thethreat of extinction before the tournament announced an unique

bi-sponsorship between health-care company Humana andnon-profit healthcare provider(among other things) theClinton Foundation, with thevenerable tournament to beknown as the “HumanaChallenge in partnership withthe Clinton Foundation.”

Humana entered into aneight-year contract for its spon-sorship of the tournamentbeginning with the eventplayed in 2012, and tourna-ment organizers breathed asigh of relief. But, the Humanacontract had a “Mulligan” init–the healthcare companybeing able to terminate thecontract after the first threeyears; and it did so.

So far, we do not knowwhat the change of events willmean to the other co-sponsor,but are told that it will not be aproblem finding a new title-sponsor and that the ClintonFoundation would still be aparticipant.

The take-a-way from thisstory–it’s not enough to con-centrate only on your ball butneed to be aware of your part-ner’s ball as well.

People who love mysteries, especially murder mysteries, are inluck. Peter James, famous for his Roy Grace books, has a ninthone called Dead Man’s Time (Minotaur Books $25.99).

Grace is detective superintendent in the English police force.The story begins in 1922 in New York City where 5-year oldGavin Daly and his 8-year old sister, Aileen, are awakened bytheir mother being murdered and their father kidnapped never tobe seen again nor his body to be found. The children’s aunt fear-ing for their safety takes them to Ireland but, just before the boatsails, a messenger finds them and hands over a package contain-ing a gold watch that is broken and a paper sheet with a list ofnumbers, all of which will play back to help solve the crime.

As they say in filmdom, disolve to London 2012, where a bru-tal robbery of valuable antiques and a gross beating and deathof an elderly woman has taken place. The woman in her 90s wasAileen and her brother, Gavin, also in his 90s, is a very wealthyman who feels he controls the universe and is determined to findand punish whoever committed this crime. His first concern isthat someone knew his sister’s code for her home vault where hisfather’s cherished watch was kept. Even though it was still keptin its broken condition, it was an invaluable item and doubly soto Gavin.

Like many self-made powerful men, Gavin’s son Lucas is aweak version of his father, with a beautiful wife who reads thenews on TV and cheats on him. Gavin has an enemy, whose fa-ther had been his father’s enemy in New York. The book is morethan 400

Notice is hereby giventhat the City of BeverlyHills (“CITY”) has deter-mined that all bidders forthe construction of thePolice Facility OversizedVehicle Storage(“Project”) must be pre-qualified prior to submit-ting a bid on thatProject. It is mandatorythat all Contractors whointend to submit a bid,fully complete the pre-qualification question-naire, provide all materi-als requested herein,and be approved by theCITY to be on the finalqualified Bidders list.

No bid will be acceptedfrom a Contractor thathas failed to comply withthese requirements. Iftwo or more businessentities submit a bid aspart of a Joint Venture,or expect to submit a bidas part of a JointVenture, each entitywithin the Joint Venturemust be separatelyqualified to bid. The lastdate to submit a fullycompleted question-naire is 2:00 PM Friday,October 17, 2014.Contractors are encour-aged to submit prequali-fication packages assoon as possible, sothat they may be notifiedof omissions of informa-tion to be remedied or oftheir prequalificationstatus in advance of theprequalification deadlinefor this Project.

Answers to questionscontained in theattached questionnaireare required. The CITYwill use these docu-ments as the basis ofrating Contractors withrespect to whether eachContractor is qualified tobid on the Project, andreserves the right tocheck other sourcesavailable. The CITY’sdecision will be basedon objective evaluationcriteria.

The CITY reserves theright to adjust, increase,limit, suspend or rescindthe prequalification rat-ing based on subse-quently learned informa-tion. Contractors whoserating changes suffi-

ciently to disqualifythem will be notified,and given an opportuni-ty for a hearing consis-tent with the hearingprocedures describedbelow for appealing aprequalification rating.

While it is the intent ofthe prequalificationquestionnaire and docu-ments required there-with to assist the CITYin determining bidderresponsibility prior to bidand to aid the CITY inselecting the lowestresponsible bidder, nei-ther the fact of prequali-fication, nor any pre-qualification rating, willpreclude the CITY froma post-bid considerationand determination ofwhether a bidder hasthe quality, fitness,capacity and experienceto satisfactorily performthe proposed work,and has demonstratedthe requisite trustwor-thiness.

The prequalificationpackages should besubmitted under seal tothe Office of the CityClerk, City of BeverlyHills, 455 NorthRexford Drive, Room290, Beverly Hills, CA90210.

Statelaw requires that thenames of contractorsapplying for prequalifi-cation status shall bepublic records subject todisclosure, and the firstpage of the question-naire will be used forthat purpose.

Each questionnairemust be signed underpenalty of perjury in themanner designated atthe end of the form, byan individual who hasthe legal authority tobind the Contractor onwhose behalf that per-son is signing. If anyinformation provided bya Contractor becomesinaccurate, theContractor must imme-diately notify the CITYand provide updatedaccurate information in

writing, under penalty ofperjury.

Contractors may submitprequalification pack-ages during regularworking hours on anyday that the offices ofthe CITY are open.Contractors who submita complete prequalifica-tion package will be noti-fied of their qualificationstatus no later than tenbusiness days after sub-mission of the informa-tion.

The CITY may refuse togrant prequalificationwhere the requestedinformation and materi-als are not provided bythe due date indicatedabove. There is noappeal from a refusal foran incomplete or lateapplication, but re-appli-cation for a later projectis permitted. Neither theclosing time for submit-ting prequalificationpackages for thisProject will be changedin order to accommo-date supplementation ofincomplete submis-sions, or late submis-sions, unless requestedby the CITY in its solediscretion.

In addition to a contrac-tor’s failure to be pre-qualified pursuant to thescoring system set forthin the prequalificationpackage, a contractormay be found not pre-qualified for eitheromission of or falsifica-tion of, any requestedinformation.

From The PublisherMARCIA WILSON HOBBS

Cartoon for The Courier by Janet Salter

I have serious concerns on the future of Beverly Hills–not its health nor wealth. As I have saidbefore, it’s about the composition of our City’s population, particularly in the summer. The greatinflux of tourists is bringing along with it problems previously not seen here and by the looks ofthings our City Council is determined to continue with its desire to increase our visitors’ popula-tion. This is very worrisome and potentially dangerous.

In five months, there are elections again. Perhaps we need to clarify and focus on the plat-form of each incumbent and new person prior to voting.

All I see is traffic congestion, street closures, high rents and water increases. More important-ly, I have never seen a clear disclosure of finances except to hear that we have money but we havemore debts. We need to know about the income and its origins as well as the categorized outflowof funds, debts owed, and actual profit and loss. Pablo Nankin, M.D.

******Not long ago our schools were some of the best in the state. Today our claim to fame will soon

be to have the highest percentage of high school graduates going to community colleges. What if the Beverly Hills Board of Education were to turn the pages back to our “glory days,”

investigate what we were doing then and then do it now. Too simple? You might also want to look into the charter schools founded by Hillsdale College's Barney

School initiative to discover what they are doing to achieve their successes in K-12. Of course thiswould mean getting up from behind their Apple pcs and doing something meaningful for our chil-dren and schools. Robert Block

****** With a sand and water play area at Roxbury Park, am I supposed to cut down on water so the

children can make sand pies? Of course, this will result in additional washing of the children andtheir clothes. But then, of course, Beverly Hills is not in a drought. Ruth Santo

******To use the fear of the ISIS bogeyman to further The Courier’s long battle against the subway

under Beverly Hills High School is a sorry admission that this disgusting group of terrorists got yoursupport. I’m sure that wasn’t your intent but you fell right into its trap. Shame on you. Your ideathere is a hypothetical possibility that ISIS will blow up subways under our kids is pathetic. Is it achoice between blowing up the high school or blowing up Century City?

Let’s get real here and not just headline extremist fears that seem to show up whenever thereis a chance. Mark Aronson

As counsel to the Bel-Air Association (BAA), we have been inreceipt of many emails from Frederic Rosen of the Bel-Air Home-owners Alliance (BAHA) and other correspondence to Ms. CynthiaArnold, Ms. Paulette DuBey and the BAA. It is clear that this corre-spondence is being sent at the direction of members of the BAHA,with the goal being to harass. They constitute harassment under Cal-ifornia Code of Civil Procedure Section 527.6 and fail to serve anylegitimate purpose.

The BAA is a non-profit and is not responsible for permitting,zoning or approving construction in Bel-Air. When the City of LosAngeles approves a construction project, the BAA does its best tomitigate and monitor any measures for safety and road repair.

The BAA never received a $30,000 buy-out. Such false accusa-tions are defamatory and must immediately cease. Moreover, hav-ing multiple people repeatedly state the same message constitutesharassment. You are not members of the BAA; therefor we feel thatthe sole purpose of these communications is to harass.

The harassing emails sent by the Alliance and Mr. Rosen havecaused these women grave concern for their safety and well-being.Most of you are only sending these communications at the behest ofanother. If this continues, the BAA will seek an injunction or re-straining order.

Andrew Skale, Attorney for the Bel-Air Association*****

The Bel-Air Association (BAA) does not help Bel Air when itworks directly against the interests of our residents. Their letter to theCity of Los Angeles on Somma Way is direct proof of that. The resi-dents are not harassing anyone–just stating points of view. The BAAdoes not represent our interests and should state clearly to the Citythat it does not represent all the residents of Bel Air.

I suggested that both groups should meet. It’s about the commu-nity. The rage the community feels to Mr. Andrew Skale’s client is aresult of its behavior.

The first time we met, the Bel-Air Homeowners Alliance (BAHA)received a letter telling us not to use “Bel Air.” Paulette DuBey triedto get the police to arrest me, though they said that was ridiculous.If you want to start litigation, go for it. What you start, we will fin-ish. Your client is protecting the job of its employee and their offi-cers and directors (whom they refuse to divulge). If they were reallydoing their job, do you think our organization would even exist?

If you want to do something constructive, tell your client to stopchasing tomato plants and get in a room with us. Let us know if youcan arrange the meeting....

• If the Bel-Air Association is trying to help Bel-Air, why is it tak-ing the opposite position of the Bel-Air Homeowners Alliance andthe directly impacted residents?

• We want no more hauling and a moratorium on new haulingroutes–there are too many trucks in the hills already. Someone is go-ing to be seriously hurt or killed. The BAA failed to talk to the peo-ple most impacted by the project.

• The BAHA and residents are against the hauling route and theBAA is for the hauling route (and asks for a percentage of the haul-ing fees to supplement its own budget).

• I asked people to write to Cynthia Arnold of their displeasure.The words and pictures are theirs, not mine. The emails reflect theirunhappiness with the BAA's action.

• The people who have responded to you and your client areall intelligent, successful people. I have no control over them anddid not put words in their mouths and no one followed blindly. Theystated their opinions. Do you really think the BAHA would havebeen formed with supporters paying $5,000 if the BAA was doing itsjob?

Now since the real goal here is the safety and security of resi-dents of Bel Air, these are my suggestions:

• The BAA is a declining organization without the resources todeal with the circumstances the community finds itself in.

• We meet to become a truly powerful force in the community.I am happy to step aside if we can get a real combined organizationthat is prepared and funded correctly.

Fredric Rosen, President/CEO–Bel Air Homeowners Alliance

....AND CONTROVERSY IN BEL-AIR

Editor’s Note: The Bel-Air Association (BAA) has refused tomeet with the Bel-Air Homeowners Alliance (BAHA) or its indi-vidual boardmembers. It has also refused to disclose the namesof its board of directors and the members of its Land UseCommittee. The BAA did not send its members an annual finan-cial statement or adhere to other parts of the IRS code regard-ing 501 (c), 3,4 and 6 organizations. There was also no annualmeeting this year.
