Beverly Hills Unified’s $45Million Bond Sale Moves AheadBy Laura Coleman

Beverly Hills Unified receivedsome very good news this week,when Keygent, the district’s finan-cial advisory and management

consulting firm, reported Wednes-day that it had successfully soldthe district’s series 2013 bonds,$45 million, with an interest rate of

The Beverly Hills City Council began thesession Tuesday evening with a moment of si-lence in tribute to Pressman.

Pressman, the son of Temple Beth Amrabbi emeritus Jacob Pressman and MarjoriePressman, taught Beverly Hills High Schoolvocal, piano and theater students for 38 years.The gifted teacher was an inspiration to stu-dents of the performing arts and encouragedhundreds to pursue their dreams in music,song and theater. His talent was known wher-ever the music played and his passing will befelt throughout the performing arts communi-ty.

Tributes poured in to websites and twitteras the news spread through BHHS alumni andstudents. Pressman was diagnosed with a vir-ulent and rare form of abdominal cancer. He

underwent surgery to remove the tumor, but itreturned. After trying chemotherapy unsuc-cessfully, the cantor opted into palliative care.

Friends and family followed his journeyas he shared on social media. Initially infusedwith hope, he underwent chemotherapy.

However, late in September, Pressmanexperienced setbacks that led him to abandonhis chemotherapy and opt into palliative care.

Following his announcement on Face-book, he was honored at a gathering at WillRogers Park. More than 300 of his students,friends and faculty members attended thespontaneous affair.

Pressman wore a tee-shirt that stated: “I’mnot dead yet,” echoing the irony of his deci-sion.

His passing will be mourned by hun-dreds of students who, in contrast to the mo-ment of silence at the City Council, will besinging his praises.

5.01 percent. That rate represented nearly awhole percentage point below assumptions,thereby representing a decrease in the cost ofrepayment on these Measure E school-build-ing bonds by approximately $35 million.

“I’m glad to see that bond buyers and un-derwriters think as highly of this school districtas I do,” Board of Education President JakeManaster told The Courier. “I think we will getmore bang for our dollar as a result in the fu-ture.”

The latest series of bonds also complies

structurally with the parameters of AssemblyBill 182 even though the district is not requiredto do so until next year.

Among the elements of the bonds soldare: a repayment ratio less than 4:1; no capitalappreciation bonds longer than 25 years; andbonds subject to optional prepayment in 10years or less.

“We can give the community comfortwith the district’s assumptions moving for-ward,” Superintendent Gary Woods said.

Beverly Hills voters will likely have an op-portunity in June to vote on a new bond thatwill replace the current $334 million measureE bond that voters previously approved.

“The brightest, most opti-mistic, most powerful forceimaginable.” Arthur Cohen isremembering his late friend,photographer Richard Avedon,who covered the globe with hisall-seeing eye. As a photogra-pher of high fashion, a chroni-cler of the American West, andwe everyday folks.

Arthur and Dick (asArthur knew him) connectedduring Arthur’s tenures as presi-dent of marketing for Revlonand later at Paramount Pictures.With models in Dior ballgownsfor Revlon commercials, andwith ad campaigns at the filmstudio. It was Dick who creat-ed the iconic image of AlPacino for Paramount’s TheGodfather, Part III.

“In Montauk, we werephotographing swimming suitmodels for a Revlon shoot. ButDick didn’t hang out with thegirls during our Craft Servicesbreaks. He ate and joked withtheir kids.

“In 1978, hisMetropolitan Museum exhibi-

tion was scheduled on the sameday as the Met’s opening dis-play of Egypt’s the Temple ofDendur that was the buzzabout town. Dick panickedthat his show would be ‘killed.’Wouldn’t you know it outnum-bered the Dendur audiences bytwo to one!”

All this is prelude to theextraordinary Avedon: Womenexhibition at the GagosianGallery in Beverly Hills. Wherewe were impressed this weekduring a walk-through of view-ing more than 100 prints withgallerist Alex Magnuson, whoreturned home recently afterhelming the Gagosian Galleryin London. All told, LarryGagosian’s art empire boasts 13galleries, from Beverly Hills toManhattan to Athens, etc.

Alex reminds that this isthe first local solo exhibition ofAvedon’s work since 1976.

The show immortalizesthe wonderful world of femi-ninity and pulchritude.Alluring models, includingDovima and Jean Shrimpton,Veruschka and ChinaMachado. Movie queensElizabeth, Marilyn, Barbra,

Anjelica andBrigette. Fetedladies with grandpresences fromJackie O. to MarellaAgnelli to CocoChanel. When pho-tographing his sub-jects Dick demand-ed “giving me emo-tion … don’t justlook at me.”

An essay byJoan Juliet Buck inthe gallery’s cata-logue is chockful ofamusing anecdotalr e m e m b r a n c e s .Colorful items fordinner partychitchat. That fash-ion empress DianaVreeland liked faceswith prominentnoses, etc.

Although wespotted a small errorabout Dovima,whose baptismalname was DorothyVirginia MargaretJuba. For simplicity,Harper’s Bazaar’seditor DianaVreeland abbreviated with the

first two letters ofeach name. Do-Vi-Ma. Joan, asyou’ll note, has itwrong.

In one ofDovima’s fabledshoots withDick, she posesin a Dior hautecouture gownwith the ele-phants at theParis Circus.Unfortunately,the rights are notavailable forpublication hereat this time.After her secondm a r r i a g e ,Dovima relocat-ed to FortLauderdale, andwas hired as ahostess for TwoGuys Pizza.

We metand knew LarryGagosian fromthe late ’70swhen he was liv-ing in Venice andopened his firstgallery onMelrose Avenue,featuring theworks of Jean-Michel Basquiat,among otheryoung and excit-ing artists. It wasobvious that withhis ongoing keenassessment of

contemporary art and engagingAmerican-Armenian salesman-ship, his stature in the interna-tional art community escalated.

Today, Larry travelsbetween his residences inHolmby Hills, Manhattan, EastHampton, London, with a pri-vate plane on call, and isknown to bid anonymously atmultimillion dollar auctions forConde Nast collector SiNewhouse.

Last week, he bid $101million during the auction forthe Francis Bacon Triptych atChristie’s. The painting fetched$142 million, with the ownerbeing Qatar’s Sheikha Al-Mayassa, sister of the Emir anddaughter of the former Emir ofQatar. She’s rumored to have-budgeted $1 billion to build aworld-class museum in hercountry that’s awash with oilfields.

“When we were filminga commercial that requiredfeather boas for the actresses, Iwondered how long it wouldtake to track down a bunch ofthem,” says Arthur Cohen.Dick came to the rescue, prom-ising there was no problem.“I’ll make them,” he smiled.“Chanel taught me.”

SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE BEVERLY HILLS COURIER BEVERLY HILLS COURIER | NOVEMBER 22, 2013Page 7

The new Infiniti of BeverlyHills will bring luxury cars,a state-of-the art show-

room and service center andjobs to the city when it opens—set for late December or earlyJanuary.

“We’re excited to be open-ing a brand-new facility; one ofthe largest in the U.S.,” saysSeth Waskow, VP and generalmanager.

Infiniti of Beverly Hills willsell new and pre-owned cars atits showroom at 8825 WilshireBlvd., and service and partswill be offered at the newamenity-filled center at 9001Olympic Blvd.

Waskow is proud the dealer-ship has taken what was anunsightly vacant lot, betweenWetherly and Almont, beauti-fied it with landscaping and a

finely designed building andturned it into a welcoming serv-ice center for customers.

Both facilities will havelounges where customers canhave pastries and snacks, “acup of coffee and relax,” saysWaskow. The showroom willfeature a boutique sellingaccessories and lifestyle items,like clothing; and the servicefacility will have 50 loaner carsat customers’ disposal.

“We’re bringing another lux-ury brand to Beverly Hills whenother dealerships are movingout,” Waskow says. “We’removing in because we believethat this one of the best mar-kets in the U.S. and we’reinvesting heavily to bring newbusiness into the city, sales-taxrevenue and jobs.

When fully operational,

Waskow expects the new deal-ership to “bring 80 jobs back tothe community.”

An equal opportunityemployer with a diverse workstaff, Infiniti of Beverly Hills is“hoping to hire from within thecommunity,” says Waskow whowas general manager of BeverlyHills BMW for 10 years.

Frances AllenDesert Roundup

Once again, the hottest ticket in town was the Houston family’s recent Halloweenbash–an event strictly for ghosts, goblins, cross-dressers and those who just wanted to havefun. Hosted by local philanthropist/businessman James Houston II, the party presents a lav-ish serving of food, drinks, live entertainment and ‘dead’ guests. We spotted a coven of fourEnglish witches who flew in from the UK on jet-powered broomsticks to share in the scaryfestivities. But honors for the most unrecognizable transformation goes to Margie Victor, whosingle-handily established “blond as the new black.”

******One of the largest black tie galas of any year, (it’s so big only the Palm Springs Conven-

tion Center can contain it), as well as best-produced of all Desert fundraisers, is the SteveChase Humanitarian Awards Gala.

As one of the signature fundraisers for Desert AIDS Project, the event last year raisedmore than $1.4 million for client comprehensive support, including medical care, case man-agement and social services like food, housing and counseling to persons living with HIV andAIDS. D.A.P. also offers free and confidential HIV testing at a number of locations throughoutthe local communities.

Although this season’s big gala is not until next Feb. 8, the Desert AIDS Project, presen-ters of the Steve Chase Gala, have several other events planed between now and then de-signed to cause checkbooks to open.

The “before gala” excitement includes today’s 100 Women’s support group’s presentationof “Dancing with the Desert Stars.” Co-hosted by Randy Roberts and local TV channel 6’spopular anchorman Gino LaMont, who will emcee and introduce the contestants to a veryimpressive three-judge panel. One third of the panel is dancer/choreographer/actor Toni Basil,known for her hit 1982 vocal Mickey. Her video for that song was the first to incorporate syn-chronized dancing and features an opening stunt of a cheerleader jumping through the cen-ter of a human pyramid – now considered so dangerous as to be illegal in competition.

Jonathan “Legacy” Perez is a much sought-after freestyle dancer who will serve on thethree-person panel of judges. He has been a finalist on TV’s So You Think You Can Dance, andas danced on-stage behind such performers as Rihanna, Toni Braxton and The Black-EyedPeas. Rounding out the judgmental-trio is British-born actor Aiden Turner who appeared inthe 10th season of Dancing With The Stars. Turner parlayed rules on the British hits East En-ders and Crossroads into character Aldan Devane, on the long-running American soap, All MyChildren. To learn more about D.A.P. and the 100 Women program, call 760-323-2118.

******Founded in 1978, the Stroke Recovery Center offers long-tem rehabilitation to survivors

of stroke and traumatic brain injury, along with support for their families, caregivers and lovedones; and, all services are free. With an annual budget approaching $1 million, the center re-lies exclusively on fundraising events, foundations, family donations and revenues from itson-site thrift to fund the more than 10,000 visits it provides to more than 275 clients per year,five days per week. This is why the center went to the birds recently, hosting its Fall AuxiliaryDinner at the home and exotic bird sanctuary of Lindi and Gino Biggi.

More information can be had by calling Rhea Foley at 760-323-7676.

If you are a fan of Downton Abbey andwaiting breathlessly for its return, AnthonyRussell has the real story of that life in hisbook, Outrageous Fortune: Growing Up AtLeeds Castle (St. Martin’s Press $26.99).

Anthony’s grandmothers, referred to as“Granny A” (Christabel, Lady Ampthill) andthen there was “Granny B” (Olive Baillie)who owned a castle with a large moat andseveral thousand acres of park and farmlandwith 50 people on staff to keep it running. Itdidn’t hurt that Granny B was from the gener-ation that intermarried with American wealthallowing them to buy and restore the estatesof England. Anthony split his weeks in Lon-don where his family lived and weekends atLeeds Castle.

Family in London consisted of his twoolder brothers, James and David, mother andfather and nanny with whom he spent everymoment, until he began school at age 5. Heis quite touching when he writes of his moth-er, who never rose before 10 a.m., getting upearly to dress and escort him to his first day atschool. Anthony claims to be a shy boy, buthis memory of life in the castle is still in de-tail. The castle’s way was Granny B’s way,generous but inclined to imperiousness as towhat one was doing every moment of the day.Behind her back it was called “her court.”Life began each New Year with a 3-month so-journ in the Bahamas. April through June wasspent between London and and weekends atLeeds, summer the south of France and Lon-don was the fall and Christmas. As Anthony

told me when we taped, it all seemed so nor-mal that when he went to Hill House schoolhe just thought everyone lived this life.

There was a hierarchy under Granny B,David Margesson, or “Morg” as the familycalled him, who had won a Military Cross inWWI, elected to House of Commons, wassecretary of state for war under WinstonChurchill and created Viscount Margesson ofRugby. He was very special to Anthony be-cause he treated the little boy with respect. Incontrast was Granny A (Lady Ampthill) whoseson was the 4th Baron Ampthill. He was bornGeoffrey Dennis Erskine Russell and Antho-ny goes into great detail about the lawsuitssurrounding his birth and title.

North Santa Monica Boulevard ReconstructionProject in Full Swing; Public Input SoughtBy Victoria Talbot

A Blue Ribbon Committee appointed bythe City Council has begun to study the futureof North (Big) Santa Monica Boulevard.

The initiatives involve the northern side ofSanta Monica which requires repaving, and up-grading drainage other improvements along theentire stretch of Santa Monica.

The Committee is exploring bike paths andchanges to the existing pedestrian paths.

Some comments sent to The Courier reflecta concern that bike paths may affect the flow oftraffic on Santa Monica.

So far, two mobile tours have reviewed theproject area. Public input is essential to a suc-cessful outcome.

The next meeting will be Tuesday, Dec. 10at 6 p.m. on the second floor of the BeverlyHills Public Library. Call 310-285-1092 formore information.

EVERY SUNDAY - To find these signs, visit the corner of Benedict Canyon and Summit Drives, just aboutevery Sunday. These signs have been in the same location week after week followed by a complaint tocode enforcement. It appears no one told the realtors that they are in violation of code and being featuredin The Courier. The City needs to examine how codes like these are not enforced.

Planning Commission To Amend Historic Preser-vation Ordinance To Correct Issues

By Victoria TalbotThe Planning Commission

recommended that the CityCouncil change the HistoricPreservation Ordinance toadopt amendments that wouldbring the ordinance more inline with the State Office ofHistoric Preservation require-ments.

“The language needs to betweaked to satisfy the State Of-fice of Preservation,” said BillCrouch, urban designer for theCity.

Another change is the ad-ditional wording that a permitto alter or demolish a propertyis subject to a hold in the eventthat it is whole or in part de-signed by a master architect.

This would mitigate thecircumstances that allowed the

demolition of the Ira Gershwinhome on North Roxbury Driveearlier this year. That home wasremodeled by Master ArchitectJohn Woolf.

Among the changes, theamendment automatically des-ignates any property listed onthe National Register of His-toric Places as a designatedlandmark and sets the thresh-old for designation of a historicdistrict at 70 percent of proper-ty owners who must sign a pe-tition for designation.

The higher threshold is toprevent the ordinance from be-ing utilized to prevent develop-ment.

Commissioner Craig Cor-man expressed concerns thatthe historic designation couldcreate uncertaintity in the real

estate market. “I think maintaining and

preserving property values inthe City is a far greater goal, hesaid.”

Crouch said the changesreflect a growth in understand-ing as the new ordinance is ac-tualized. The Cultural HeritageCommission approved thechanges.

The Planning Commissionwill review a Medical UseOverlay for 8767 WilshireBlvd. and the Central Area Sin-gle-Family Dwelling Bulk andMass Recommendations Re-port Thursday evening.

City staff anticipates an or-dinance for reduction of single-family residential mass andbulk will follow the review.

The company, headquartered in the UK,has met with City Manager Jeff Kolin to dis-cuss a suitable location. Requirements in-clude a minimum of 130,000-square feetwith capacity to expand and assurances of afive year commitment to the expo.

Three locations were studied, includingRoxbury Park, which was deemed too small;the Burton Way Median and a City-ownedproperty in the Entertainment Business Dis-

trict. A building on the property is used forCity utility storage, but is uninhabitable.

The structure, last used by VirginRecords, would have to be demolished andcleared at an estimated cost of $595,000.Reed Expositions will reimburse up to$300,000 if the City agrees to the commit-ment. Mayor John Mirisch raised questions asto how to use the parcel in between expose,noting that the property could not be devel-oped in the ensuing months.

Reed was asking for a speedy answer,based on the short time frame of approxi-mately 18 months.The council has asked stafffor further study.

square feet on 37 stories.According to JMB representatives, who

spoke at last Friday's planning hearing at theWest LA Municipal Building in anticipationof a Planning Commission meeting in Janu-ary, Century City traffic will not increase as aresult of a tripling of its proposed size.

The Beverlywood Homes Association(BHA), which represents more than 1,350homeowners situated just southeast of Centu-ry City, claims it has seen firsthand a substan-tially increased traffic flow through its residen-tial neighborhoods, serving as an intermedi-ary between the 10 freeway and Century City.BHA contends such a modification will actu-ally increase traffic in and around the projectanywhere from 80 percent to 130 percent.

JMB’s loophole use, supported by ThirdDistrict L.A. County Supervisor ZevYaroslavsky, applies only to dramaticallychanged uses under Section 6 of the CenturyCity North Specific Plan, which JMB allegesis out-of-date.

Through BHA’s attorney BenjaminReznik (Jeffer Mangels, Butler & MitchellLLP), the Association sent a letter to L.A. CityPlanning Hearing Officer Nicholas Hen-dricks which underscored that granting sucha special exemption to JMB undermined afundamental Century City development plan.In addition, the BHA contends that grantingthe change for JMB would also open thefloodgates for other developers seeking tosubstantially increase Century City buildings,thereby creating a precedent for future com-

mercial office uses. “The potential for numerous huge build-

ings, much larger than those currently ap-proved, is a reality,” Reznik told The Courier.“The concern is that if this is approved, anyother property owner will be able to file for asimilar request and the city would not be ableto deny it. And the concern is that it would se-verely impact circulation in and around Cen-tury City in an adverse manner so as makingcoming in and out of Century City much lessdesirable.”

Under the 1981 Century City North Spe-cific Plan, which has governed developmentin Century City for more than three decadeswith the expressed tenet of protecting “resi-dential areas from encroachment by othertypes of uses,” in addition to limiting densityand traffic, development rights are defined interms of development trips. JMB's request foran an Alternative Calculation of Trip Genera-tion Factor of 4.97 daily trips per 1,000square feet – a supposedly project-specifictrip factor that the Department of Transporta-tion has already reviewed and recommend-ed – is based on “totally flawed” methodolo-gy, according to Reznik.

In February, Yaroslavsky sent a letter toWest of Westwood HOA co-founder TerriTippit addressing Section 6 of the Plan, whichallows for establishment of an alternative tripgeneration rate stating that: “any modificationto the [trip generation factor] could only bejustified by a rigorous traffic analysis by com-petent professionals.”

Reznik stated that no such comprehen-sive study has been done.

Vaughn Delivers In ‘Man,’ HisBest Acting Performance To Date

In Delivery Man, Vince Vaughn stars as David Wozniak, ane’er do well guy who just gets by as a deliveryman for his fam-ily’s meat business. In debt for many misguided financial deci-sions to a bunch of goons, he learns that his policewomen girl-friend, Emma (a beautiful Cobie Smulders), is pregnant. Shereads him the riot act by telling him to become more responsi-ble if he wants to be part of the family.

The plot thickens when David, who at one time was busyraising money by making deposits in a now-defunct sperm bankunder the pseudonym of Starbuck, is served a summons from142 of the 533 offspring he had fathered to reveal his legalname.

After the admonition from his girlfriend, David believes he

can resurrect himself by getting involved in the life of some of his“children” by randomly picking the profiles of a few of the plain-tiffs. Like a secret agent he covertly follows his descendants andtries to help them improve their lives and in doing so, he startsto assume some positive responsibilities.

An able and funny, Chris Pratt, his lawyer and confidant,tries to impart some parental advice to his best friend eventhough he can’t control his four young children. At one point,when his kids are acting mischievously, he tells David that theyact that way because “they know they are too old to get an abor-tion.”

Unfortunately, funny lines like that are few and far between.While you’re wondering what happened to the menacing

gangsters and his terribly miscast policewoman girlfriend (sorry,there never is a confrontation between the two) the movie, ami-cably, moves on to a pleasant and feel-good ending with Vaughngiving his best all around acting performance to date.

Multiple Areas Earn Top Marks For Quality

St. John’s Once AgainRecognized By Healthgrades

St. John’s Health Centerhas once again been recognizedby Healthgrades for overallexcellence in cardiac care,orthopedics, critical care andwomen’s health. Additionally,new to Healthgrades this year,the center has been recognizedfor both neuroscience and gas-trointestinal care.

“It takes hard work and ded-ication from our physicians,nurses and staff to continue toprovide such a high level of careto our patients,” said Michael L.Wall, St. John’s acting presi-dent/CEO.

Healthgrades is a leadingonline resource that helps con-sumers search, compare andconnect with physicians andhospitals. St. John’s results werereleased with other new findingsin American Hospital QualityOutcomes 2014: HealthgradesReport to the Nation, which eval-uates hospital performance atmore than 4,500 hospitalsnationwide for 31 of the mostcommon inpatient proceduresand conditions.

The new report highlightsthe disparity in hospital perform-ance for specific conditions andprocedures and the impact that

this variation may have on healthoutcomes.

For example, from 2010-2012, if all hospitals as a group,performed similarly to hospitalsreceiving 5-stars as a group, onaverage 234,252 lives couldpotentially have been saved and157,418 complications couldpotentially have been avoided.

A 5-star rating indicates thatSt. John’s clinical outcomes arebetter than expected when treat-ing the condition or conductingthe procedure being evaluated.Additionally, Healthgrades rec-ognized that St. John’s not onlyperforms at a 5-star level—it out-performs other hospitals in thenation in this condition, and as aresult has been recognized withthe 2014 Healthgrades SpecialtyExcellence Awards.

“Since all hospitals do notperform equally in all proce-dures, patients can have confi-dence that by selecting physi-cians associated with a hospitalwith a 5-star rating, patients aremore likely to experience betterhealth outcomes, and reducecosts,” said Evan Marks, EVP,Strategy and Informatics, Health-grades.

USC, Buck Institute Launch Biology Of Aging ProgramTo tackle the rising preva-

lence of age-related diseases andthe challenges and opportunitiespresented by a growing elderlypopulation, the USC DavisSchool of Gerontology and theBuck Institute for Research onAging will offer a joint Ph.D. pro-gram in the Biology of Aging, the

first in the nation. The interdisciplinary doctor-

al program will draw on the twoinstitutions’ expertise in under-standing the connection be-tween aging and chronic diseasethrough biomedical research.

Faculty from both organiza-tions will teach courses and

mentor students, with the firstclass starting next fall and stu-dents having the option ofspending time at both the USCcampus and at the Buck Institutein Northern California.

“This unique and transfor-mative Ph.D. program combinesthe resources of two majorresearch institutes and will giveour graduates unprecedentedexpertise in the biology ofaging,” said Pinchas Cohen,M.D., dean of the Davis School.“There is no longer any doubtthat aging is the largest risk factorfor chronic disease. We need aphilosophical change in the wayscientists approach disease andwe believe this program willhelp drive that change.”

“By attacking aging, a com-mon cause of diseases rangingfrom Alzheimer’s to Type 2 dia-betes to macular degeneration,we strive to extend healthspan,the functional and disease-freeperiod of life,” said BrianKennedy, Ph.D., president/CEOof the Buck Institute. “This first-of-its-kind graduate program wascreated to offer a new perspec-tive on medical research, prim-ing students for the near futurewhere aging and its implicationsare the number-one driver ofmorbidity and mortality world-wide.” Read more atwww.bhcourier.com, Health

How To Create Meaningful Holiday ConversationsQ. Dear Dr. Fran: My wife, chil-dren and I are flying east forThanksgiving to be with my sisterand her family. Can you give ussome tips for how to have realconnection with the family wesee only once a year? Richard F.

A. Dear Richard: We are liv-ing in a world and time of light-ning speed. Our schedules areover-booked, leaving us exhaust-ed and, at times, overwhelmed.

Sadly, many of us have short-changed nourishing and nurtur-ing meaningful relationships withthose we truly care about. Thedivorce rate is higher now thanever—up to 50 percent inAmerica and 63 percent in L.A.alone.

We are raising a generationof kids dependent upon electron-ics as a means to communicate.Human-to-human relating hasdwindled down and my large90210 practice is filled with sex-less couples who don’t talk. I seea trend toward kids lackinghealthy, open and honest com-munication skills.

Whether you get together inperson or relate via Skype or tele-phone from hundreds to thou-sands of miles away, here are mysuggestions for creating meaning-ful conversation vs. surfacesuperficial bumping up againsteach other. Top Tips For Nurturing Relation-ships During The Holidays.1. Be curious. Be a “detective.”Ask questions that require morethan a one-word answer. Don’tsimply ask: “How are you?” You

will likely get a quick responseof: “Fine.” Ask thought-provok-ing questions including, “Tell mehow you've been spending yourtime?”; “What are your hopes,wishes, and dreams over the nextfive years?”; “What are some ofthe challenges you’ve been upagainst lately?”2. Share personal struggles. I amnot suggesting you vent or useyour relatives as a receptacle ortrash can. Don’t dump. Behuman. All of us struggle attimes. When you share andexpose your vulnerability theother person feels safe to do thesame.3. Never judge, blame, or bejudgmentally opinionated. Peo-ple will get defensive and imme-diately close up to you.4. Always be truthful. Don’texaggerate or embellish. Peoplewant to connect with the realyou. 5. Don’t over-exude bubbly,syrupy charm. Others will doubtyour sincerity and authenticity.6. Be sure you are in a quietplace with no distractions so youcan focus on the other person.7. Be ready to accept anythingthe other person says. You don’thave to agree, but listen openlywithout becoming defensive.8. Be an empathic listener. If youare shy and don’t know what to

say, offer compassionate reflec-tion of what you hear the otherperson saying. This allows theother to feel heard, validated,and accepted—flaws and all.

Q. Is there any upside to having(or cultivating) low self esteem?Or, conversely, are there downsides to having (or cultivating)high self-esteem? Can shyness orintroversion be utilized or chan-neled in positive ways? Judy T.

A. Dear Judy: The best positionfor self-esteem is always high.Do not confuse self-esteem withhumility. Arrogance can also bemisperceived as confidence.

Shyness and introversion areinnate (born with) personalitycharacteristics. Self-esteem islearned and developed after birthand is relationship based.

Sounds like you might be ashy introverted person. I knowshy introverts who have high self-esteem and are strong in theirquiet way. My training supervisor,the chairman of psychiatry atCedars-Sinai Medical Center, wasa shy, intellectual introvert. I heldthe highest regard for him, as didhis entire staff working underhim. The key, Judy, is for you toknow whom you are, embrace it,and build your self-esteem fromthere.

BEVERLY HILLS COURIER | NOVEMBER 22, 2013Page 21ANOTHERBIRTHDAY!?

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 22).You're not sure what to strive for, butthings get clear in December.Favored activities in early 2014include: teaching, speaking anddeveloping a creative, technical ormathematical idea. In January, some-one who shares your feelings willmake you money. Carefree fun is fea-tured in March and June. Pisces andLeo people adore you.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).Your friends miss you when you'renot there, yet they don't always showlove adequately when you are there.What's this social dynamic all about?You'll investigate tonight.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Is itwrong to want the reward you canget with the smallest energy expendi-ture? No. It’s actually smart.Recognizing what's within yourreach and going for the low-hangingfruit is the order of the day.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Do notdoubt the impact of your sense ofhumor. It’s important to the evolutionof the planet. If you can make oneperson laugh uproariously, it is betterthan having the nodding approval ofthousands. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). Your repu-tation seems to have a life of its own.If people talk about you, it's asthough you are participating in par-ties you haven't even attended. That’spower! ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). You are ver-satile and be around people youdon’t like at all and still find someway to make it work. You will find abrilliant way this evening, which is acredit to your character. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). There arethose who climb mountains and con-nect with their majesty, feeling giftedby the nature, winds and peacefulsunshine. Could you be one of those?You'll wonder about it and plan for it. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Act in aparticular way over and over; soonenough it becomes the way you are.If you want to become brave, actbravely again. If you want to becomeglamorous, act that way. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The daybrings a surge of animal energy, andthis is only healthy. Your species isscientifically classified as such. Anancient part of your brain will leadthe way this evening. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Honest peo-ple tell you that you’ve done well.This is high praise, and you shouldnot take it lightly. It’s better to absorbthe mild, positive and truthfulresponse than be blinded by glim-mering false accolades. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Usually,what follows a gradual climb to thetop is a long tenure in that lofty loca-tion. You’re learning what you needto know to join the upper echelonand stay there. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You aremissing something dramatic, butyou’ll get over it. Your choice torefrain from further involvement is agood one. Out of sight, out of mind isthe motto that will work well for younow.SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Yourconscience is clear, but you still mayhave trouble getting to sleep tonight.The insomnia can be cured by writ-ing in a journal. Empty out the per-sonal baggage that has built up thisweek.

Astrologyby Holiday Mathis Joan Mangum

The invitation read “Almost 65 Years of a Happy Marriage” andJust Past 90 Since His Baby Carriage...Pat and Jerry are at it again...Wedon’t want gifts, we don’t need a thing... Instead you’re going to getsome bling!”...Well, Pat and Jerry Epstein gave us that and muchmore...It was an evening not soon be forgotten–one of the best partieswe’ve ever been to.

Upon arrival, we were given sequined vests in various colors towear...then entered the large patio area where we were surrounded bycarnival games which had us running from game to game to try to winone or more of the 1,100+ prizes which consisted of large and smallstuffed animals, light up hats, glasses, necklaces and rings, plus muchmuch more...

We then entered a beautiful dining room where silver sequinedclothes covered the tables, with centerpieces of purple hydrangea andorchids, and a light box making the whole arrangement glow. Chairswere covered in silver metallic fabric...

Monty Hall was funny as he brought our hosts Pat and Jerry up tothe stage...It is impossible to believe they have been married 65 yearsor that he’s 90... Not only don’t they look and act their ages, their per-sonalities and zest for life is filled with anticipations of the many thingsthey’d like to do in the future. They spoke about their life, family,friends and the business (the ups and downs) that helped them achievethe wonderful life they share together...

After dinner, we enjoyed a fabulous show put on by singer/enter-tainer Lucie Arnaz and her band which flew out from New York for theoccasion. During her performance, she talked about her parents Lu-cille Ball and Desi Arnaz and brother Desi Jr., while pictures of thefamily flashed in the background. Just a truly memorable evening filledwith love and laughter, and enjoyed by all.

The Weissbuch family speaks about the late Joel Pressman: Congratulations on a life well lived! There simply is not enough

kind words to be spoken nor enough loving thoughts to be expressedabout you!

Your sense of humor, quickness of wit, and turn of phrase wereincomparable (and always in good taste). You taught and treated andnurtured and loved our kids as if they were your very own.

You enriched and inspired and delighted everyone touched byyour creative and musical gifts and your kindness. Your choral con-ducting touched our hearts and spines and souls and gave us a sense,a glimpse of what heaven must be like.

You showed us what courage, positivity, hope and love are allabout in your struggle with cancer.

Please, please, please, forgive us now... for simply not having thestrength to hold back the tears now that you are no longer here onEarth. (If there is a heaven...I am sure that Mozart and Bach are nowasking...no begging...you to conduct their music. )

Thank you! Thank you! We will always love you!!!!

Cartoon for The Courier by Janet Salter

We will miss Joel Pressman!! Our community suffered a material loss with the passing of BeverlyHills High School music teacher Joel Pressman. He and his parents, Rabbi Jacob and MarjoriePressman, were and are part of the fabric of our community. Joel’s dedication to his students andhis talent as a performing artist blessed us all. We and many others will miss him. We are thericher for his life and poorer with him gone.

I attended the first public meeting of the Santa Monica BoulevardBlue Ribbon Committee and went on its tour of North Santa MonicaBoulevard. One has the impression the committee and its activities areonly “window dressing” to create the illusion of public input for deci-sions which have already been made.

The City’s consultants seem more concerned about design featureswhich are irrelevant to most of us who live here, as well as the driversand passengers in the 20,000 vehicles which use it daily. Our concernsare generally cost and traffic flow.

Here are my specific concerns:(1) When asked, no one seemed to know what the budget was for thisproject, or where the money would be coming from. It doesn’t matterto us taxpayers if it’s City money, state or federal money. It’s still com-ing from our pockets! (2) No one had any statistics on cut-through traffic on CarmelitaAvenue, Elevado Avenue, or the alleys which run east-west in someblocks. One of the concerns for those living near Santa MonicaBoulevard is whether the proposed so-called improvements will wors-en traffic flow, causing more vehicles to use alternate parallel streets. (3) No one had any predictions as to whether the proposed so-calledimprovements would improve or worsen traffic flow. There should bespecific plans to measure “before and after” traffic patterns, both onSanta Monica Boulevard and on nearby streets, to see if there is animprovement. (4) The proposed bicycle lanes, as with such existing lanes on CrescentDrive and Burton Way, do not connect to bicycle lanes to the west. AndCity parking structures, retail areas, and large commercial buildings,don’t have secure bicycle parking.If the bicycle lanes aren’t useful forcommuting, and there is no place to park bicycles for those who mightuse them, why propose stealing a three-foot corridor from BeverlyGardens Park for these lanes, working at cross purposes with thoserestoring this historic City park, to build “bicycle lanes to nowehere”? (5) Any proposed medians will interfere and slow traffic and should beeliminated. (6) Bus turnouts are going to be reduced or eliminated. This is a badidea. There should be more turnouts so the buses don’t impede trafficflow while loading and unloading passengers. One of the consultantssaid that Metro didn’t like bus turnouts because the buses couldn’t getback into traffic lanes, but alternate solutions, such as blinking lights orsigns stating “Yield to Bus Entering Lane” could be effective in solvingthis problem.(7) Finally, the committee (having three members appointed by eachCity Council person) appeared uniquely non-representative ... mostbeing 60 or older with only two women out of 15 members, and no oneappearing to be of Asian or Persian descent. Because of our increasing-ly diverse community–especially those younger residents who will haveto live with the consequences of whatever design is approved andbuilt–their input should be sought.

IS THIS ‘IRAN NUKE MEETING’ IN PARIS – OR YALTA OR MUNICH?

Iran continues to pull our chain by pretending to meet and negotiate over nuclear weapons.Supposedly, the same mullahs responsible for a good portion of worldwide terrorism and the con-stant demands to cancel Israel have now picked a “moderate” as opposed to the “radical”Ahmadinejad. Really? The Western European nations are agog with offers to compromise and liftsanctions on this renegade country. Of course, we learned when we took Baghdad that SaddamHussein did regular business with our European “allies” despite much stronger sanctions.Money is money, after all, and Iran pays. Europe sells.

Not that history is always a precursor to the present, but go look at some history books.Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini wanted to conquer Ethiopia. No one today can be sure why hewanted it, but he did. They did have a League of Nations back then. We were not part of it, butso what? And progressive history teachers keep reminding us of this, even though we had no realarmy and had dismantled much of our navy, but France had the biggest army in the world andBritain’s navy massively larger than Italy’s. We could not have compelled France and Britain toact, but we had nothing to act with. We were disarmed.

These same Europeans tried the same fix against Mussolini in the 1930s – economic sanc-tions. They were a joke. Mussolini sensed real weakness in France and Britain despite their mas-sive armaments so he switched sides and went with Adolf Hitler. He believed, correctly, thatFrance and Britain would not do anything against him. Hitler believed the same thing untilPoland made ignoring his depredations impossible. We sat by, drowning in our Depression. (Notthat we had the military strength to do anything about it even if we wanted to—which we didnot).

The point is: negotiations that give away fundamental principles to buy time or forge a “com-promise” at best postpone the inevitable. Iran wants nuclear weapons. The more time it has tobuild them, the closer it will come to building them. (Think: North Korea) Iran has suffereddecades of economic depredation to get them. Nothing has changed in the basic aim of theIranian regime. And who is right in the cross-hairs? Same as before: Israel.

The Western Europeans gathered in Munich to proclaim “peace in our time” and surrenderedCzechoslovakia. That Munich deal between France, Britain and Nazi Germany also got JosephStalin to join Hitler for the time being. Poland, the Baltics, Central Europe and six million Jewsdisappeared as a result. At Yalta, we could not free the captive nations, but gave them away for50 years on the pledge by the Soviet Union to join in the war against Japan. The only thing it didagainst Japan was to capture the Japanese Army in Manchuria and give those weapons to MaoTse-tung and Kim Il Sung.

Israel remains the target and the Czechoslovakia or Poland of 2013. Iran wants to reduceIsrael to cinders. That has not changed. The more we talk without doing, the closer to reality thiscomes.

Sometimes, you are better off recognizing reality and acting accordingly. The reality is Iranwants Israel dead. Nukes are the way they will do it. Why are we talking?
