MEDIC INE, HEALTH & WELLNESS

HOW DOYOU FEEL?

James Manzi is lucky to be alive. When the79-year-old arrived at Ronald Reagan UCLAMedical Center’s emergency room in full cardiacarrest, the medical team tried everything to stabi-lize him, including shocking his heart 29 timeswith a defibrillator in an attempt to restore a nor-mal rhythm.

Often, patients with heart attacks as severe asManzi’s don’t survive. Only one out of every 10people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hos-pital lives through the ordeal.

As the team worked, UCLA emergency med-icine physician Dr. Eric Savitsky monitoredManzi’s diminishing response to their resuscita-tive efforts using a combination of bedside ultra-sound of the heart and clinical indicators. This ledto an emergency request for a rarely used butpotentially lifesaving technology known as extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation, or ECMO.

ECMO involves the use of a sophisticatedpump that takes over the functions of the heartand lungs, essentially breathing for the patient bypumping oxygenated blood to vital organs so thelungs can rest. This helps reduce stress on theheart. The device is traditionally used to supportadults in cardiac failure waiting for a heart trans-plant and to help protect the delicate respiratorysystems of infants born prematurely.

Fortunately, it worked in Manzi’s case aswell. His heart stabilized, allowing the cardiacteam to transport him to the cardiac catheteriza-tion lab, where he underwent coronary angio-plasty on an artery that was completely blocked.Following the procedure, doctors placed a stentin the artery to keep it open; blood flow was com-pletely restored.

At a recent follow-up visit, UCLA cardiologistDr. William Suh, who performed the cardiac pro-cedures, confirmed that the patient is doing well.Suh is an assistant clinical professor of medicineand interventional cardiology with the GeffenSchool Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.

“I’ve always enjoyed my life and now appre-ciate it even more,” said the father of five, whoalso has six grandchildren. “Just being alive iswonderful.”

The technology to perform ECMO requires amultidisciplinary team of specialized physicians,

Q. Dear Dr. Fran: Why do parentsresort to disciplining their children byshaming them online? Here are twolinks that show what I’m talking about.Ann H.

A. Dear Ann: Thanks so much for bring-ing these two examples of parent posts tomy attention. The first YouTube examplehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7q5mgtUOI_w in my view, is not of parentalshaming of the child, although the longterm may be just that.

Each parent in the first video,“Pucker Up”, seems to think her child’sreaction to sour citrus tastes is cute. Thelikelihood is most kids will grow up andbe able to laugh it off, especially becausethese images were shot during the child’sinfancy and toddler phase of childhood.

The second example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBUhV4seFHAis quite a different story —The voice ofthe rage-filled preschool girl who isclearly angry and distraught demandingher Mommy, is made fun of by her fatherwhile her entertained brother laughs atDad’s performance.

I think this Dad has resorted tohumor, putdown, humiliation, andshaming as a result of his own helpless-ness. My fantasy is that he has mademany previous attempts at calming hisyoungster down but failed repeatedly.His exasperation has brought him to thisfinal low.

Although the brief act is momentari-ly funny, it is clear to me that this fatheris ill equipped to deal with a youngchild’s anger. This child is likely to growup and feel that her father doesn’t under-stand her, validate her feelings, or accepther and love her as she is—flaws and all.

Every one of us is flawed. I am andso is her Dad. She wants what we allwant. To be loved - defects and all!

Q. Dear Dr. Fran: I hit the jackpot. I’vemet the perfect man. He’s got it all. He’sproposed marriage and I accepted. I’m abit nervous. Is there anything more Ishould be looking into? Melissa G.

A. Dear Melissa: Perfection does notexist. “If” a woman is with a man whomshe perceives as “Mr. Perfect” (promisingcareer, good looking, charismatic, lovedby all), it may be useful and eye-openingfor her to engage in a disagreement,debate, argument, or fight with her gen-tleman.

Seeing how your partner deals with,wrestles with conflict reveals a great dealabout his/her ability to give-and-take in arelationship. The key is for each personto tolerate strong different ideas and feel-ings and be able to bear listening withoutinterruptions, blaming, judging, or put-downs.

We are all flawed. All anyone wantsis to be seen, validated, accepted, andloved–flaws and all.

friends and frequent visitors.In 1922 architect William

Clark designed the home forT.A. Tooey. Davies acquired thehome in 1925. The two-storyTudor Revival has a hipped roofthat stretches down to the firstfloor on the west and issheathed in brick and half-tim-

bered stucco. The home is seat-ed majestically at the summitof the inclined driveway. An ex-aggerated gabled hood framesthe entry. Diamond-panedcasement windows are a fea-ture throughout the home. Tothe right of the entry, a stunningsunken living room bears abeautifully detailed paneledceiling. The back features adeep, grassy lawn and over-sized pool with pergola. Acolonnade follows the propertyline. There are four bedroomsand four baths and the house is6,024-square feet.

Davies was a talentedcomedienne and Ziegfeld Fol-lies girl when she became thecompanion of newspapermogul Hearst in 1916. He soonformed Cosmopolitan Picturesto produce films for her.

Davies was one of Holly-wood's most lavish hostesses. Itis said that soon after acquiringthe property, Davies built thegrand ballroom for entertainingwithin a week. She made otheralterations, including the din-ing room and bathrooms, andadded a screening room in1940.

Davis was said to haveused the home for her more in-timate gatherings. She reservedthe home on Santa Monica'sGold Coast for her larger af-

fairs, now the Annenberg Com-munity Beach House. Hearstand Davies also held manyevents at the Hearst Castle inSan Simeon.

Davies Hollywood careerspanned 1919-1937 when sheretired from films to become avery successful business execu-tive.

The house was purchasedin the late 1940's by HarryCohn, president of ColumbiaStudios. It changed hands againand was sold to Aleen Leslie, ascreenwriter, novelist and ra-dio-writer. The Leslies lived inthe home nearly 50 years,when the heirs sold it.

Painted throughout withpowder blue, the new ownershave begun restoration. Their

plans include restoration of thebest of the original house.

Inside, the kitchen is sur-prisingly small amidst a mazeof service quarters. Beneath thehome, a basement room har-bors three walk-in safes.

Hearst objected to inebria-tion, and Davies enjoyed hercocktails. Could this have beenwhere the alcohol was storedthroughout prohibition? Wasthis an effort by Hearst to main-tain the two-drink limit themogul imposed on his guests?Like many old homes, we maynever know.

Listed in 2010 at $12.5million, the house was sold in2011 to its current owners, Lin-da and Syd Leibovitch,Founder, Rodeo Realty, Inc.

proposed Westside Subway Ex-tension tunnels underneath theschool.

Metro’s route, designed tobenefit Century City develop-ment, specifically JMB’s pro-posed City Center, carries a$200 million higher price tagthan the initially preferredroute underneath Santa MonicaBoulevard.

The tunnels will go barely40-feet beneath the schools’1929 buildings and underneaththe central power station forCentury City. The route cutsthrough dozens of abandonedoil wells and ground permeat-ed by methane gas.

Metro has argued in courtthat the route is “safer” than theSanta Monica Boulevard loca-tion because of alleged earth-quake faults 900 feet awayfrom its designated station atthe corner of Constellation andAvenue of the Stars in the low-er level of a proposed develop-ment by Chicago-based real es-tate develop giant JMB Realty.

That location becameMetro’s choice after JMB held afundraiser for then-Los AngelesMayor Antonio Villaraigosa.

Lieu told The Courier hepreviously had limited knowl-edge about the issue but wel-comed the tour.

“I appreciated the in-depthbriefing and walk-through atBeverly Hills High School aswell as the opportunity to hearthe concerns about running asubway under the high school,”he said.

Lieu was accompanied onthe 2-1/2 hour tour by BeverlyHills Unified School Districtlead consultant Tim Buresh.

Buresh was constructionchief of Metro's Red Line andhead of construction for the LosAngeles Unified School Dis-trict.

Buresh recounted howMetro’s superficial investiga-tion, followed by opinions fromunlicensed “experts,” forcedBeverly Hills Unified SchoolDistrict to spend millions ofdollars trenching its property tolearn whether active earth-quake faults exist under schoolbuildings as alleged by Metro'sexperts.

Trenching is the so-called“gold standard” for seismic in-vestigations. BHUSD’s thor-ough research revealed nofaults present, despite Metro’scontentions to the contrary.

The California GeologicalSurvey concurred, declaringthe high school free of activefaults

BHUSD filed suit under theNational Environmental PolicyAct in federal court and theCalifornia Environmental Qual-ity Act in state court.

The federal judge has or-dered Metro to considerBHUSD's trenching; the statecourt so far has refused.

Buresh cited Metro’s plans

regarding depth of the tunnels -- about 40-feet - as troubling.According to Buresh, the typi-cal depth for a subway under-neath a commercial building is120-feet.

However, adding depth tothe proposed $1 billion seg-ment to reach Constellation (asopposed to the $800 millionprice tag to build on SantaMonica Boulevard), adds $10million for every foot deeperthe project goes, Buresh said.

He also noted that Metronow refuses to build subwaytunnels into Los Angeles Inter-national Airport, citing terror-ism concerns. When BeverlyHills raised the same concerns,Metro dismissed the concern as“hysterical.”

JMB is now trying to cir-cumvent restrictions in the1981 Century City North Spe-cific Plan adopted by Los Ange-les, which governs develop-ment in Century City.

The Plan’s stated goal is toprotect “residential areas fromencroachment by other types ofuses.” JMB’s plans for a 37 sto-ry tower are vigorously op-posed by the 1,350-memberBeverlywood Homes Associa-tion in Los Angeles.

BHA’s attorney, BenjaminReznik of Jeffer Mangels, Butler& Mitchell LLP, denouncedMetro’s traffic studies for theproject as “based on totallyflawed” methodology.

Beverly Hills City Coun-cilmember John Mirisch, whojoined the visit, told Lieu one ofthe main problems with Metrois that unlike the Bay AreaRapid Transit, which is gov-erned by a publicly-electedboard, Metro’s leadership mod-el is flawed.

“There’s no accountabili-ty,” he said.

Metro’s directors are themayor of Los Angeles, all fivecounty supervisors, and ap-pointees.

Only two members ofMetro’s 15-member board ofdirectors voted against theroute underneath Beverly High,Los Angeles County SupervisorMike Antonovich and JohnFasana.

BHUSD boardmemberLewis Hall told The Courier fol-lowing the meeting that he wasglad Lieu was able to maketime to visit the campus and lis-ten to the concerns of the Bev-erly Hills Unified School Dis-trict.

“It means a lot to me thatSen. Lieu took the time to fullycomprehend the situation withMTA and their desire to tunnelunder our high school,” Lewissaid. “I’m confident that henow understands the legitimateconcerns of BHUSD and theCity. I look forward to continu-ing to educate the public andstakeholders of all facts and is-sues.”

Lieu told The Courier hewould now reach out to Metro,“to give them the opportunityto respond.”

AstrologyTODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Apr. 18). You’ll enjoy a minordegree of fame over the next 10 weeks, and if youchoose, can turn it into more. May shows you givingback or paying forward. June bonds your heart withanother’s, and joyfully take on a huge challengetogether. Move quickly in September to take advan-tage of changes in your industry. Virgo and Libra peo-ple adore you.ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). Maintaining relationshipsenergizes you–or at least it should. If a certain friendleaves you feeling drained, it’s something to considercarefully and change right away. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). It takes time to regainconcentration after an interruption. That’s why youcan save yourself a lot of frustration by preventinginterruptions before you start your important work.GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Leave the distant futureloose as you structure the immediate future. It makesyou feel powerful to plan today, tomorrow and 3-days from now. Anything farther out comes with thepossibility of unnecessary stress.CANCER (June 22-July 22). Just because you fit intoa situation doesn’t mean you belong there. Manywould be thrilled to have your contributions to theirscene, and yet unless you also are thrilled there, it’sa bad match. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). So what if you don't win thetop honor today? Maybe you’re not the best there isat this task, and that should be fine. Think in terms ofimprovement. Every improvement counts. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You don’t always feelcomfortable letting another person take care of you,

but unless you are vulnerable, you won’t be able toconnect as deeply as you would like with that certainsomeone. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll be assigning tasks.Be careful to match people to the work they’re likelyto succeed in, as this is what builds bonds. If they donot succeed, the bond erodes. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Though you usuallyprefer to be treated like everyone else around you,the person who strategically chooses the rightmoment to treat you like the unique and special per-son you are will win your heart. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). In some ways, youfeel more fulfilled when you are around a certain per- son than you do when you are not. It may even fright-en you. For now, though, enjoy the dynamic as a signof love gone right.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). What good is beingsmart enough to know better unless you act on thatknowledge? This is why most of your day will bespent in motion. You'll be busily working out yourinklings. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’l gravitate towardemotionally healthy people. They live with ease,hardly ever finding themselves in the middle ofdrama. Being around this type, even for a few hours,makes your whole weekend better. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). The person who is trying toimpress you may be doing so without being totallyconscious of his or her own motives. Be gentle, asthere is more ego on the line here than is readilyapparent.

galvanized neighbors withgrievances over similar recentdecisions in the area.

Koretz reiterated his posi-tion on the height variance,calling the 50-foot height both“reasonable” and “fair,” giventhat “the property owner pre-serve a natural creek on theproperty. This resulted in . . . astrange roof line.”

“It is a very large property,”said one attendee who wishednot to be identified. “There aremultiple ways to build on thesite.” She said that when thenew hillside ordinance is final-ly applied, Koretz bypassed it.

Koretz acknowledges thatdeveloper Arman Gabay is a“longtime acquaintance,“ butsaid the “reasons were practi-cal.”

“The meeting was not in-tended to resolve issues,” ob-served Koretz. “It was an am-bush. It was the most insanemeeting I have had in 30 yearsin politics.”

Koretz explained that hehad envisioned a small groupof people meeting at his office.Instead, Koretz agreed to meetat the Bel Air Association officewhere fire regulations cap oc-cupancy at 30. Finally, themeeting was conducted “in aparking lot,” he said, for thosewho could not get inside. “Itwas bizarre said Koretz.

Koretz brought three uni-formed police and three plain-clothes security guards whowere present through the BelAir Association.

Resident’s complaints cen-tered on mega- sized homesunder construction in the area,including a single-family resi-dence at 944 Airole Way. Theproject is described as a two-story single-family dwellingwith basement and ancillarystructures on 3.9 acres totaling85,154 sq. ft. according toproject applicant Nile Niami.

Neighbor Joe Horacekcharacterized the project as,“74,000 cubic yards of haulover a 3-7 years, with multiplepools and four kitchens,” not-ing that subterranean excava-

tion is not even included in thepermitting process in the Cityof Los Angeles, despite geolog-ical issues on hillsides.

The project is representa-tive of the overdevelopment is-sues in the neighborhood. It isa by-right project, meaning thatif a developer wants to buildsomething that fits within thezoning code, then the City'srole is ministerial; the Citydoesn't exercise any discretionover whether the building isdesirable or not, but simplywhether the minimum require-ments of the zoning and build-ing code are being met. Thehillside ordinance does not caphome size.

“Clearly this is an area un-der siege,” said Koretz. “Thepositive side is that it has beenbrought to our attention. Weneed to do a follow-up andidentify a few people to meetwith and focus on the issuesthat need to be resolved.”

Horacek brought photos ofanother project at 901 StradaVecchia, under construction bydeveloper Mohamed Hadid.Bordering on his property, Ho-racek says that despite his com-plaints, which went unan-swered, when the rains hit lastmonth, “the side of the hill sliddown across my road anddriveway and it is still a com-plete mess.” Horacek says thatthe City is completely unre-sponsive to his calls andemails.

“I think people left ex-tremely unsatisfied,” said resi-dent Paula Rudnick. “What Iwant is to accomplish some-thing.” Rudnick initiallyreached out to Koretz to re-quest a meeting following theapproval of the height vari-ance. “People have very legiti-mate concerns in the neighbor-hood,” said Rudnick. Shewould like to come back to thetable with a comprehensive listthat would give homeownerstools to deal with traffic andstreets that cannot absorb thewear and tear of 9000 haultrips on the Airole home. Thenarrow roads bear “No-Park-ing” signs because they are sonarrow.

“There will not be a repeatof this meeting,” said Koretz.

TRUSTING PAULA KENT MEEHAN WITHTHE COURIER – A PERSONAL NOTE

Our longtime friend, Paula Kent Meehan, has had an interest in The Courier for many years.We share the same love of Beverly Hills and the same commitment to the City. She will be anexcellent steward of your newspaper.

When I became publisher of The Courier 10 years ago, I wrote the truth: a newspaper belongsto its community, not any particular owner or publisher. Without the support and trust of its read-ers, a newspaper is just paper.

The Beverly Hills Courier, founded by March Schwartz, a former executive with The New YorkTimes (who just turned 93), immediately became the voice and conscience of Beverly Hills. Forthe last nine years, The Courier has ventured into public finance and accountabilily of public offi-cials and employees. We have faced the wrath of the Metropolitan Transit Authority and our ownSupervisor Zev Yaroslavsky. Zev, whom I’ve known for over 20 years, is stepping down from theBoard of Supervisors. He has served our community very well, but for some reason he is deter-mined to jeopardize our children, school staff, school district and City. The Courier has beensteadfast in exposing the threats to Beverly Hills. Well, people disagree.

Serving as publisher of The Beverly Hills Courier has been the finest experience I have everhad. I love Beverly Hills – I have since I was about five years old. The best part of Beverly Hillsis the magic created by its people. The community of Beverly Hills is warm, gracious and wel-coming. Even the people who don’t like you are generally civil and courteous.

Paula is a proven philanthropist with only the best of intentions. Her name now appears onthe restored Beverly Hills Post Office as part of the new Wallis Annenberg Center for thePerforming Arts. She is dedicated to helping our weakest members – our pets. She personallyfunded two Rose Parade floats to promote adopting homeless pets and promoting Beverly Hills.

She intends to name Marcia Wilson Hobbs as my successor – a decision I heartily applaud.In the end, you–the readers and members of our community–will judge whether The Courier

remains your trusted source for information.I have the highest confidence that you will continue to judge The Courier very, very highly as

you now do.Sincerely,

Clif Smith

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Cartoon for The Courier by Janet Salter

The Courier covers the planned new Waldorf-Astoria hotel as ifit were only a good thing, without mentioning citizen opposition tothe project, which was approved by a thin margin; without report-ing concerns about density and overdevelopment; and neglectingto mention the already-gridlocked traffic from dawn to dusk at theintersection of Santa Monica Boulevard and Wilshire Boulevard,which will only get worse (if that were possible) with the construc-tion of this inappropriate project and the planned over-develop-ment of the Robinson's May Company site. It may be a “seminalmoment” in the Hilton organization's history, but it is a bad day forthe citizens of Beverly Hills. Daniel Fink

******I own and love to ride my bicycle. I also live in one of the coun-

try’s worst traffic congested areas, with the rudest and most carelessdrivers. Why in heaven's name would I place my life in jeopardy byriding my bike on the City's most busiest and dangerous of streets?This ain't Kansas Dorothy.

Beverly Hills, like most cities, depends upon the movement ofpeople and product for its economic survival. And, this movementat the moment uses automobiles and trucks to do the job. (To labelwhat Metro provides as any kind of mass transit is an insult to theTransit Workers of America). To impede or interfere the flow of thistraffic is selfish, self-serving and stupidly dangerous. To claim ascycling activists do, that bicycle lanes and its users will substantial-ly reduce pollution and carbon footprints is unrealistic.

Take a stroll along Santa Monica Boulevard in front of Westfieldand observe the bike lane suddenly disappearing into trafficapproaching from all sides. Or imagine the standoffs and hesitationsbetween auto and cyclists at the right turn on red intersections.

Why not discover many of our quiet, tree lined streets filledwith beautiful homes or strap your bike to a bus or your car or trainand visit a park or the beach or some mountain road and cycleaway?

P.S. To our City fathers and mothers–repair the streets, reset thetiming on our street signals, install more left turn signals, strictlyenforce all traffic regulations, and don't widen streets, don't destroygreenery simply because a group of very vocal “entitlementalists”demand their way. Robert Block

******Regarding last week’s editorial about Russia and China flexing

their muscles, our president is a good talker but has a weak spinewhen it comes to taking action to protect America’s internationalinterests. One of the reasons the Soviet Union cried “uncle” in the1980s was that Reagan spent a lot of money on national defenseand the Soviets knew they could not come close to matching thoseexpenditures.

Our main problem today is that we have given away our treas-ure during the past 40 years and do not have the wealth to scareanyone. We need to drastically reform our business tax structure sothere will be incentives for companies profiting from cheap over-seas labor to return their manufacturing to the U.S.A. This wouldcreate jobs and tax revenue to help pay down our burgeoning,unsustainable debt. Richard N. Friedman, Esq.

Lucky me. As a long-time resident of Beverly Hills and a great fan of The Beverly Hills Courier, it is very

exciting for me to announce that I have just made an agreement to purchase the newspaper. Clifton Smith, the publisher of The Beverly Hills Courier, and his wife, Candace, have been

friends of mine for many years. I appreciate his confidence in me.Marcia Hobbs, also a friend for many years, has been the associate publisher of The Courier

and now will become the publisher. With the great leadership of Marcia, The Courier will contin-ue to do well in the years ahead of us.

As the previous owner of Redken Products, I know that listening and learning from the staff,readers and clients is incredibly important.

So please, as I embark on this most exciting project, I will be asking for input and advice fromyou. I don’t know if I will have all the answers, but will certainly apply myself to listening andlearning to ensure that The Courier has the right kind of news to fully answer the needs and ques-tions of its readers.

I need and want input from our readers to know what your questions are so we at The Couri-er can answer them and, hopefully heed such suggestions. Marcia Hobbs and I will want to hearfrom you and your ideas will be given every consideration.

Thank you and I am look forward to this most exciting time as the owner of The Beverly HillsCourier.

Thank you Paula Kent Meehan

P.S—For many years, I have have owned Kenquest, my business on Cañon Drive in BeverlyHills. We will soon be relocating the offices of The Courier into my Kenquest building.
