Arts patron and technology en-trepreneur David Bohnett is fol-lowing his passions.

He’s helping infant tech com-panies take their first steps and artsinstitutions expand.

The arts are a “vital part of thecommunity,” Bohnett says. And hewants people to “pop in to see aplay, experience great music andsee art.”

President Barack Obama ap-pointed Bohnett to the board oftrustees of the John F. KennedyCenter for the Performing Arts inWashington, D.C.; and he takesKennedy’s quote—”Arts definewho we are as a society”–as a per-sonal mission.

Bohnett has put his influenceand financial support behind threebeloved local organizations—TheWallis Annenberg Center for thePerforming Arts, the Los Angeles

Kate Mantilini Gets HistoricLandmark RecommendationBy Victoria Talbot

The Cultural HeritageCommission (CHC) and theowners of GibraltarSquare/Kate Mantilini reachedan agreement today that willadd the historic buildings tothe City’s Local Register of His-toric Properties.

The agreement reflects thecommision’s dedication tostriking a balance between theneeds of the owners and his-toric preservation, and demon-strates adaptability for modern-ization.

Gibraltar Square/KateMantilini at 9101 - 9111Wilshire Blvd. was the 1957-8Gibraltar Savings branch officesteel-frame and glass construc-tion by Pereira & Luckman. Theaddition of a steel-and-glass 7-story tower was designed by ar-chitect Victor Gruen Associatesin 1959.

Then, in 1968, a bank andparking structure were erectedby Maxwell Starkman AIA &Assoc. That building becamethe iconic Kate MantiliniRestaurant in 1985 when Harryand Marilyn Lewis took it over.Seeking to create a “roadsidesteakhouse for the future – with

a clock.” The structure defineda generation of design.

The magic came when ar-chitect Thom Mayne joinedwith Michael Rotondi at thefirm Morphosis. Kate Mantiliniwas one of the first projects torealize their vision.

They surrounded thebank’s exterior with an indus-trial-style steel scaffolding thatrepurposed and transformedthe building.

Filling the interior withsunlight on the east end is a gi-ant orrery with a mechanicalmodel of the solar system thatjuts through a 14-foot skylightand ends with a sundial on theroof.

Inside, the dining hall isdominated by a John Wehrle33-foot long mural entitledKnockout painted on a curvinggypsum cement plaster wall.

The dining room capturedthe 1980’s era of dining, but italso launched an architecturalrevolution.

“By commissioning Mor-phosis, Lewis created a restau-rant where dining out was anexperience that went far

Beverly Hills Education Foundation Appeals ToBusiness Community To Partner With SchoolsBy Laura Coleman

Four years after Audi Bev-erly Hills opened on WilshireBoulevard, the dealership isnow the #1 in the nation. It’s anachievement that Audi GeneralManager Michael Bradfordsaid might very well be linkedto the decision to make a$100,000 multi-year donationcommitment to Beverly Hillsschools.

In fact, that financial com-mitment – Audi just made anadditional $25,000 donation tothe Beverly Hills EducationFoundation – became the firststep in what has shaped up to

be a true partnership. Recently,Bradford joined the BHEFBoard of Directors and hasbeen at the forefront of thenonprofit’s nascent BusinessSponsorship Program.

“What better way to be-come part of the communitythan becoming involved withBeverly Hills schools,” he ex-plained. “I wish the businessesin town realized how muchgood will is there for the takingif they’d just get involved.”

As part of the initiative,Bradford has been approachinglocal businesses, hotels andrestaurants in an effort to en-

gage them in the future of thelocal schools. In addition toculling financial investments,the new initiative strives to linkbusinesses directly with stu-dents.

Last week, for example,Bradford was among 100 localbusiness leaders to speak at theBeverly Hills High School ca-reer day, where he let studentsknow that Audi techniciansmake a six-figure salary. Suchinsight is particularly meaning-ful in a world where not everystudent is destined for an IvyLeague education.

Willie Brien’s Long Goodbye –Promises Letter May 2

By Victoria TalbotCouncilmember Willie

Brien, whose heartfeltfarewells at the installation ofMayor John Mirisch March 16elicited a host of well-wishersand sad goodbyes, has yet tosubmit his resignation.

However, in response topublic comments from resi-dents who asked when the ab-sent councilmember wouldleave so that the City can moveon, Brien, over the phone, in-formed council members Tues-day that he plans to submit aletter with an effective date onor about May 2.

On October 29, the Cityannounced that Brien had ac-cepted a position at St. Luke’sHealth-Baylor Medical Centeras Vice President of MedicalOperations and Chief ClinicalOfficer. St. Luke’s Health–Bay-lor St. Luke’s Medical Center(Baylor St. Luke’s) also an-nounced William Brien, MD,as its Vice President of MedicalOperations and Chief ClinicalOfficer, effective December 9.

It is not known why Coun-cilman Brien continues to re-main on the council. Over thepast year, he has conductedCity Council meetings from aremote location on several oc-

casions, most notably follow-ing the events on Nov. 21-22,when his friend Lyn Konheimclear-cut the trees on parcels12 & 13.

Teleconferencing preventscall-in participation from resi-dents.

When a seat is premature-ly vacated, according to statelaw (Gov. Code Section 36512)the City Council has 60 days todecide if the wish is to have anelection or if the wish is toavoid an election and fill thevacancy.

If no action is taken, therewill be an election. Otherwise,the council may decide tomake an appointment for theunexpired term of the incum-bent.

On Jan. 16, followingBrien’s announcement, thecouncil repealed MunicipalCode Section 2-1-21 that re-quired a special election with-in 30 days of a council vacan-cy to fill the unexpired term -Gov. Code Sec. 46512(b). Thechange aligns the City withstate law and allows the optionof appointment to the unfilledterm.

By Victoria TalbotA report on the City’s Mid-

Year Budget Status Tuesdayshowed weakness in the City’sTransient Occupancy Tax(TOT) which was estimated todeliver $39.140 million but de-livered $38 million.

The mid-year review is ageneral revenue assessmentdesigned to keep City Councilinformed of financial trends.

Revenues from propertytaxes, according to the L.A.County tax assessor, increasedby 9.1-percent, the secondhighest year-over-year percent-age increase assessed propertyvaluation in the county, afterthe city of West Hollywood. Es-timates were originally at 2.5 -percent over Fiscal Year (FY)2014/15. The result is estimat-ed to bring an additional $2.4million more than the originalestimate as home values con-tinue to rise.

Sales tax revenue is esti-mated to increase $2 millionbecause of a state program forfinancing their debt that used aportion of cities’ sales tax willreturn the 1-percent allocationto the City in the last quarter ofthe year. In FY 2016/17, the“Triple Flip” will no longer ex-ist, and the City will receivetheir full sales tax payment

from the state. The Transient Occupancy

Tax (TOT) is showing a slightincrease year over year, but it isnot meeting the projections.

Up $150,000 (0.9-per-cent), the revenue is about 2.9-percent below the original pro-jection.

Don Rhodes, CFO/directorof Administrative Services, be-lieves that two hotels that un-derwent renovations were afactor in the underperfor-mance, and that constructionlocated nearby a third hotelalso played a part, a situationthat will correct itself beforeyear’s end.

The general fund held$33.044 million unallocatedbalance.

The council voted to allo-cate some of those funds forpublic safety – a Mobile Com-mand Center for the BHPD($400,000), and Self-Con-tained Breathing Apparatus($111,000) for the BHFD.Money was also allocated($800,000) for theCabrillo/Coldwater reservoir,and $1 million to the BeverlyGardens Park matching fundsand the purple pipe project onSanta Monica Boulevard ($2.2million).

Beverly Hills Synagogue To HostGourmet Passover Seder For Third YearBy Laura Coleman

For a third year in a row BeverlyHills Synagogue on Alden Drive willcelebrate Passover with a gourmetSeder dinner on the first night of thefestival, Friday, April 22. The evening isbeing catered by veteran gourmet foodpurveyor Jack Abikze.

The annual celebratory feast re-volves around retelling the story of theJewish Exodus from Egypt 3,500 yearsago. According to the Temple’s RabbiPini Dunner, who will lead the Seder,the Exodus of the Jews from 200 yearsof enslavement in ancient Egypt formedthe backdrop for the creation of Jewishnationhood. And just seven weeks afterleaving Egypt, he said, the Jews re-ceived the Torah at Mount Sinai.

“We are absolutely delighted thatour synagogue can provide an upmar-ket Seder dinner for the residents ofBeverly Hills,” Dunner said. “BetweenJack’s incredible food, the selection of

high quality wines, and the ambienceat our beautiful new facility, we knowour guests will have a Seder dinner theywill never forget.”

In previous years Abikze providedthe guests with beef chateaubriand andherb-roasted baby squab. At the Sederthis year the menu will include white-fish in champagne sauce, and rack ofveal - a rare delicacy for kosher foodeaters, all alongside more traditionaldishes, such as matzo ball chickensoup.

The traditions at the Seder includedrinking four goblets of wine; eatingmatzo, the traditional unleavenedbread; and eating grated horseradish,known as “maror”, or “bitter herbs”, tocommemorate the tough times enduredby the Jews during their enslavement bythe Egyptians.

The Bel-Air community spoke loud-ly and unanimously against the BAA’sprevious status quo on March 17, elect-ing a slate of nine new boardmembersand introducing sweeping new, trans-parent bylaws in a special meeting heldat the Bel-Air Country Club.

Since then, the brushback from theousted leadership, including formerpresident Ronald Hudson, has been im-mense.

As the newly-elected leaders begantheir duties working on behalf of home-

First came a request for a TemporaryRestraining Order, which was flatly de-nied by L.A. Superior Court judge, theMitchell Beckloff.

Then, just days after Hudson sent amailer out to Bel-Air Homeowners, er-roneously still representing himself asBAA president and announcing that thegroup’s April meeting would be post-poned, a pending lawsuit Hudson hasfiled against the organization’s newleaders was dismissed.

REAL ESTATEHolmby Hills Neighbors On EdgeDeveloper Labi Proposes Major RevampTo Historic Singleton EstateBy Matt Lopez

As the 7.6-acre Singleton Es-tate in HolmbyHills is pendingHistoric-CulturalM o n u m e n t(HCM) designa-tion, the newowner and devel-oper of the homeis proposings w e e p i n gchanges thathave homeown-ers concerned.

The home at 384 Delfern Dr.,which sold for just under $60 millionlast year, was designed in 1973, and isone of the last originals by architectWallace Neff, for electronics pioneerHenry Singleton, who founded TeledyneTechnologies and was an original Appleboardmember.

Now, the developer Adrien Labi isreportedly proposing a major revamp tothe 10-bedroom, 12.5-bath estate.

W i t hdesignationp e n d i n g ,Labi has re-portedly al-ready be-gun clear-ing trees offthe hillsideon thep r o p e r t y,which appears to be in violation of theCultural Heritage Ordinance.

Labi, based on social media photosof the two together, appears to be an ac-quaintance of Mohamed Hadid, the de-veloper behind the infamous 901 StradaVecchia property in Bel-Air. He is pro-posing a sprawling renovation that in-cludes an underground auto gallery, anight club and gun shooting range inthe home immediately adjacent to Har-

vard-Westlake School.Labi presented his proposed reno-

vations to the L.A. Cultural HeritageCommission Thursday in an informa-tional meeting. One neighbor presentedphotographs that he claims are of pro-tected Oak trees that were removedfrom the property, which if true, wouldprove to be a very serious violation.

In a letter obtained by The Courier,Byran Lourd, a neighbor of the propertywho also lives in a Neff home, wrote tothe commission opposing the proposed

changes.“It is im-

portant thatthe commis-sion knowthat duringthe penden-cy of the pro-posed desig-nation, in vi-olation of

Lourd said he believes the tree re-moval was done to “modify the statusquo at the site before the City Councileven has a chance to impose protec-tions under the Cultural Heritage Ordi-nance.”

The City staff, CHC Liaisons ChairLisa Greer and Commissioner RalphWaldo, and the property owner’s teamworked to achieve preservation andthe owners could work with.

Both sides agreed to the exteriorfeatures, reaching consensus that bothbuildings were historically significantand agreeing to a list of significant fea-tures, up to that point.

When the CHC met in January todiscuss nomination of the property, thecommission felt they had not includedthe groundbreaking historic interior fea-tures that significantly defined the his-toric intent of preservation.

The CHC directed staff to examinethe interior space of the Kate Mantilinibuilding and to list character-definingfeatures of the interior space.

That list included the Wehrle muraland the orrery. It also included the steelbeam and concrete column structuralframing at the west foyer, the steel struc-tural framing, vertical beam and glassblock wall at the east, sculptural medaldoor handles, a metal telephone booth,floor to ceiling proscenium-like wallplanes along south and west sides ofdining hall area, metal coat rack hooksand dowels; and the volume and spatial

relationship of the dining hall and westentry foyer.

Just before Wednesday’s meeting,representatives for the owner delivereda letter rejecting the new assessmentand challenging the legal right of theCHC to determine any interior featuresfor preservation.

It appeared for a moment as if theproject would be continued again, butCommissioner Noah Furie pushedahead. Pursuing common ground, find-ing areas of concession, the commissiontook some hits with the intention ofachieving agreement.

The Commission agreed to includethe mural, orrery, and the volume andspatial relationship of the dining halland west entry foyer, dropping the othercomponents and achieving consensus.

“The Gibraltar/Kate Mantilini proj-ect has, to our delight, now been for-mally recommended for landmark des-ignation,” said Commission Chair LisaGreer. “We are looking forward toadding this important and significantproperty to our ever-growing roster ofprotected properties in Beverly Hills.Because of the joint work of the proper-ty owners, city staff, consultants andCHC task force, we have been able tocreate a win-win result. I hope that thisexperience becomes a model of collab-oration between preservationists andproperty owners – showing that the Cityof Beverly Hills can protect and encour-age property owners while also preserv-ing the integrity of our city.”

The CHC voted 4-1 (RebeccaPynoos dissenting).

Rae andByrd will alternate in the role of Nell.

Rehearsals Begin For Beckett’sEndgame At Kirk Douglas Theatre

His status report: Last season 200performances had a paid attendance ofmore than 50,000 with a third of the at-tendees from Beverly Hills. Fifty studentmatinees served more than 10,000 stu-dents, staff spent 20 hours at 10 partnerschools for music and arts education,and local schools enjoyed workshopsand performances.

Involved with the performing artscenter since its inception, he commit-ted an initial $1 million gift; and waspart of the campaign to raise more than$35 million to build the institution.

“This is a tremendous moment ofopportunity for The Wallis,” saysBohnett, “as we are soon to announceour fourth season with 300 performanc-es across all genres—theatre, music,dance, film, family shows and educa-tion programs.”

Crewes will be bringing back an-other production in collaboration withKneehigh Theatre, which he left to jointhe Wallis, and which presented a high-ly successful production of Brief En-counter in the first season.

“We also have a close relationshipwith the City—they’re our landlord—and we’re looking to develop moreways to serve the needs of citizens.”

Always interested in technology,Bohnett studied computer science andearned a bachelor’s degree from USCand then an MBA from the University ofMichigan. He started his career withAndersen Consulting, which becameAccenture. This background in softwaretechnology led to his founding GeoCi-ties in 1994.

“I was fascinated with early onlineservices like AOL, Prodigy and Com-puServe before the web,” said Bohnett,“and I started reading about the WorldWide Web and I wanted to create a sitethat gave everybody a chance to meetpeople of similar interests.”

He was an early pioneer and cham-pion of the concept of free home pagesand on GeoCities people could createfree pages in communities of interestlike sports, finance and theatre. “Wehad millions of users who set uppages.” Bohnett recalled.

The early social network compa-ny—a forerunner to Friendster, Myspaceand Facebook—went public in 1998.

When GeoCities sold to Yahoo in1999, Bohnett established the DavidBohnett Foundation which has awardedmore than $80 million in grants to a va-riety of nonprofits focused on social jus-tice as well as performing arts, like TheWallis.

His Beverly Hills-based venturecapital fund, Baroda Ventures, focuseson investments in early-stage tech startups, primarily in Southern California.“They submit business plans and wesuggest funding, and help them grow.”

One company the firm is activelyinvolved with is Beverly Hills-based Fil-mOn, providing video streaming andhundreds of video channels across allsubjects.

Bohnett, a former 20-year resident,moved to Roxbury Drive when he co-founded GeoCities, and he’s had hisbusiness and foundation office in hisSouth Beverly Drive building ever since.

The building is home to two retailbusinesses, the Beverly Hills BikiniShop and Cottoniere, selling handmadeclothing from Peru.

He is also vice chairman of theboard of the LA Phil (he was chairmanfor five years) and is heading up the or-chestra’s centennial campaign to raise$400 million, following his own $20million personal commitment.

“We want to continue the traditionas one of the world’s preeminent or-chestras,” reports Bohnett. “We want torecruit the best players and insure wehave the financial capacity to go on tourand fulfill our education mission.”

The Youth Orchestra LA (YOLA)provide free instruments, intensive mu-sic training, and academic support tostudents from underserved neighbor-hoods, teaching hundreds fo kids.

His introduction to LACMA was in1977 when he was tour guide at Univer-sal Studios and attended a double fea-ture as part of the museum’s classic filmseries of Mildred Pierce and WhateverHappened to Baby Jane.

Classic film, dramatic theatre andcontemporary classical composers likePhilip Glass and John Adams remain hispersonal favorites.

Council Votes To Enter Agreement WithTownscape Partners on Gehry ProjectBy Victoria Talbot

The Council voted 4-1with Mayor John Mirisch dis-senting, to approve a depositagreement of up to $1 mil-lion for the public evaluationof the Townscape PartnersDevelopment proposal by ar-chitect Frank Gehry.

The developer is propos-ing a 99-year lease of theCity’s last remaining under-developed land for a mixed-use development including ahotel, residential, office andretail space that would alsoinclude a park on approxi-mately 6.5 acres in the City’sEntertainment District.

The decision authorizesa public review process thatwill allow the developer todiscuss the proposal with thepublic.

The $1 million will be

used to cover the cost of afair-market appraisal of theproperty, economic and fi-nancial studies, land useplanning studies, the cost ofpreparing an RFP if issued,public notice costs, and thelegal and support staff over-time costs.

In a letter to the Council,Beverly Hills MunicipalLeague President ThomasWhite said,”Approval wouldgrant a conspicuously unfairand undeserved advantage toa single developer on a pro-prietary basis. . . The councilwould be providing an im-plied endorsement.”

“Any private developer isat all times free to communi-cate with its own independ-ent advertising, marketingand direct mail campaign,and has unfettered access to

the public… The City simplydoes not need Townscape orany of its associated entitiesto “co-brand” its communi-cations to residents.”

Mayor Mirisch pulledthe item from the consentcalendar. “I agree withThomas White,” he said.“The City owns this property.We should be fronting this;we should do it and fund it,”not Townscape Partners.

“At any point we canpull the plug,” said Coun-cilmember Lili Bosse. “Wehave complete control.”

The council voted 4-1 toenter into the agreementwith Angelo Gordon Real Es-tate, Inc.Townscape Partnersto conduct the evaluationand public process for theproperty at 336 Foothill Roadand 9268 Third Street.

Gibbons said it is critical tostrengthen the partnership be-tween local schools and thebusiness community. Last yearthe BHEF raised $600,000 thatwent directly to programs atBeverly Hills schools.

“It’s very synergistic,” shedescribed. “Even though Bever-ly Hills is known as a touristtown, we are really a small vil-lage and we have a dedicatedgroup of involved people. Ithink parents and grandparentsare motivated when they see alocal business supportingschools to support the businessin return.”

Local philanthropist SteveGordon of Domino Realty re-cently became a new BusinessSponsor and it’s a commitmenthe takes seriously.

“This is our hometown,” hestated, noting that his wife andchildren attended Hawthorne.“We just think Beverly Hills is aspecial place and being a partof it is everything.”

Gordon, who also spoke atlast week’s career days, empha-sized the importance of inspir-ing young minds and givingstudents job experience.

“We don’t have a future ifour kids aren’t educated well,”he added.

since moving into the City withJacob, affectionately known as“Rabbi Jack”, more than 65years ago.

Rabbi Jack, with Margie athis side, served as an assistantrabbi at Sinai Temple beforetaking over as rabbi at theOlympic Jewish Center, whichhe turned into Temple BethAm, a congregation he led for35 years. Rabbi Jack passedaway in October.

Born Marjorie Steinberg inPhiladelphia, Margie graduat-ed from the University of Penn-sylvania before taking on the

role of rebbetzin and movingto Beverly Hills with RabbiJack in 1950.

Margie told The Courier ina 2015 interview that she re-fused to be defined by thestereotypical role of a rebbet-zin.

“Some people said, ‘Youjust can’t do anything else.’ ButI didn’t buy that,” she said. “Inmy case, it was whatever Imade it.”

Through her time in Bever-ly Hills, Margie maintained aclose relationship with nearlyall of the congregants of Tem-ple Beth Am, immersing her-self completely in the syna-gogue life.

Margie remained active inseveral fundraising efforts, in-cluding fundraising on behalfof the Sheba Medical Center inIsrael. She helped bring the Is-rael Expo to Los Angeles.

Margie stood tall throughseveral painful losses in recentyears, including the death of adaughter-in-law and the Press-man’s son Joel, a beloved for-mer Beverly Hills High drama/music teacher.

Pressman is survived bydaughter Judith, son RabbiDaniel Pressman of BethDavid Congregation in Sarato-ga; five grandchildren and fivegreat grandchildren.

“At every meal, there was asalad, a fish course, a maincourse and several desserts,”she recalled.

Her parents, each of whomwas one of seven children, em-igrated from Greece before theNazi’s rise to power eliminatedthe bulk of Jews in Greece.Renny’s great uncle, a wealthyplayboy of sorts, had heardrumblings of what was to comewhile traveling in New York,and her parents’ relatives hadheeded his advice to set sail forAmerica.

“Our life was very familyand temple oriented,” Rennyrecalled of her early childhood,which was punctuated withpainting classes and ballet les-sons.

Until she was 16, Rennywas not allowed to attend aparty where boys were present,and innocent contact such ashand-holding with a memberof the opposite sex was strictlyforbidden. Renny was steadfastin her obedience she re-called–not that she had anychoice as her two older broth-ers were always watching.

An adept sailor, Renny waspart of a club that was hostingthe State Cross Atlantic Cham-pionship Week one year whenshe was 18. A week before thecompetition was set to begin,Renny and her crew sailedtheir boat out on a particularlywindy day that resulted in theboat’s mast being ripped off.Without a functioning boat ofher own, she spent the days ofthe race on the committee boatand it was there she met Harry,her husband of 61 years.

“If I didn’t meet him then,we never would have met,” shesurmised. “Our worlds were sofar apart.”

Their first encounter wasfraught with the romantic un-dertones that make up the bestof love stories.

“Harry took my hand andhelped me go down the ramp,”she recalled.

He was 26 at the time,which she remembered think-ing was “so old”.

Harry pursued her steadily,not put off by her refusal todance with him at the black tiedinners that followed the dailyraces. His calls to her houseasking for a date were routinelydenied, that is, until she agreedto go sailing with him.

“For some reason, we nev-er left port,” she recounted.“We sat around talking andlaughing.”

Today, she counts sixgrandchildren–the apples ofher eye–as a result of theirserendipitous encounter.

Once married, they movedinto a little apartment besideCentral Park and Harry workedas an educationalist psycholo-gist. Then in 1957 Renny’s sis-ter, who had moved to Califor-nia, sent them a picture of herin a bathing suit, enjoying thesunshine on New Year’s Eve.The image embedded itself intheir minds and they set theirsights on moving to California.

“It was predicated on apicture,” Renny exclaimed.“We didn’t know anythingabout California.”

They moved first to a housein Encino Village before mak-ing Beverly Hills their home forlife.

Renny’s sister, a BeverlyHills resident, kept enticing herover the hill–”She said, ‘Oh myGod’ this and ‘Oh my God’that”–but it was ultimately theschools that convinced thefamily to move into BeverlyHills.

“I can’t explain it, but it feltlike home from day one,” Ren-ny described the house that shestill lives in today. “BeverlyHills is a small town in a bigcity. I love the City; I love thepeople; I love the ideals.”

And she loved how herchildren could walk to BeverlyVista from their house.

“Our house was just likemy mother’s,” she described.Her three children alwaysbrought their friends over andRenny was always cooking.

In 1969, Renny decided tostart a recipe of the month sub-scription club. It wasn’t longbefore she had 3,300 sub-scribers for her 18-page book-let, for which she charged 35cents a copy.

In 1971, she became afood columnist for The BeverlyHills Courier, which ran hercolumn for two years. She stillhas a copy of her first recipecolumn, which was for Nut-cracker pumpkin pie with Gal-liano whipped cream.

One day, a friend of herhusband’s suggested she createa cookbook. He promised tohelp see the whole endeavorthrough and had a grand visionfor the book, which he plannedto price at $25. But at the lastminute, the man ended uppulling out. So Renny decidedto publish her cookbook in amanner that aligned with hervision; a paperback priced for$5.95. She had it printed bytwo women who ran a smallpress in Santa Monica and thenset about getting the bookplaced in homes. She still re-members getting Dalton’s onBeverly Drive to carry it andselling out the few copies she’dgiven the bookstore within aday.

And it wasn’t just in Bever-ly Hills that the book became asuccess. She sold 2,000 copiesthe first week after it printed;5,000 were gone within amonth. Soon, she’d sold30,000 copies and the cook-book was on the bestseller listand selling like hotcakes inHarrods in London, shops inParis and all over the world. Itbecame the first of many cook-books she authored.

“I never dreamed that Iwould ever use cooking as acareer,” she said. “The orderswere overwhelming.”

But even more stunningthan her success, Renny said,was the content of the lettersshe received thanking her forpublishing. People would writehow her recipes had savedtheir life; nurtured an ill rela-tive; or even allowed them theability to convince others thatthey were a whiz in thekitchen.

And much like a goodmeal, for Renny, Beverly Hillsremains an epicurean paradisewhere dreams really do cometrue.

RENNY DARLING KLEIN(Continued from page 1)

new BAA could proceed withits important work, undeterred,doing what many in the com-munity felt the previous leader-ship failed to do - protecthomeowners from brazen de-velopers and illegal construc-tion occurring in their neigh-borhoods.

“It is sad that Ron Hudsonand Bruce Kuyper appear to bemore willing to fight peopleelected to protect Bel-Air resi-dents than they ever were tofight developers trying to ille-gally push forward construc-tion,” New Board Chair MarciaHobbs said. “The new Bel-AirAssociation boardmembersplan to continue doing whatthey were elected to do, whichis be the voice of residents inBel-Air who don’t have thepower to speak out against mil-lionaire megamansion devel-opers and to change the rulesthat presently exist in the Cityof Los Angeles that favor exces-sive development over protec-tion and conservation of neigh-borhoods.”

That all changed Tuesday,when it was revealed that afterHudson’s suit was dismissed,former BAA counsel BruceKuyper filed a similar lawsuit inDowntown L.A. Superior

Court, far away from the WestL.A. district where Hudson’ssuit was filed.

The nine newly-electedBAA boardmembers (MarciaWilson Hobbs, Jim Hyman,Maureen Levinson, Dan Love,Jamie Meyer, Steven Myers,Tawny Sanders and Gail Sroloffand Nook Suphamongkhon)are still attempting to regain ac-cess to all the items that weretaken from the organization’sproperty by Hudson and formerExecutive Director PauletteDuBey.

DuBey finally returned herBAA computer on Thursday,but all documents and station-ary are in Hudson’s possessionare still outstanding.

“It’s the same lawsuit Mr.Hudson brought, asking for thesame relief in a different courtin Downtown LA. So simplyput, they did not like the deci-sion, they did not like the Judgeand they did not like the venue- Santa Monica Courthouse - sothey are in essence forumshopping.” said Fred Rosen, amember of the BAA.

Kuyper told The Courierlate Tuesday that the suit “wasfiled to obtain a judicial deter-mination confirming that the‘special meeting’ purportedlyheld on March 17 was com-pletely invalid.”

Any major golf tournament thathas been around for 45 years is sure tobuild up a treasure trove of traditions.But this years’ ANA Inspiration alsocaptured an impressive list of “firsts” aswell.

Previously known as the KraftNabisco Championship, the tourna-ment was founded in 1972 by DavidFoster and Dinah Shore, is reverentlyreferred to by Desert golfers as “TheDinah Shore” and holds the distinctionof being the second oldest tournamentcontinuously held at the same course… Mission Hills Country Club inRancho Mirage.

Last year, All Nippon Airwaysbegan its sponsorship of what is nowknown as the ANA Inspiration, retain-ing two of its unique features: the win-ner’s jump into Poppy’s Pond – thatbody of water surrounding the 18thgreen - and an athletic lure to hun-dreds of female golfers who travel fromall over the world to support, mingleand party with their favorites.

Adding to the ANA Inspiration’slist of first’s was Caitlyn Jenner, the firstopenly transgender woman to play inthe ANA tournament’s one-day pro-am. And, for those who might thinkthat getting Jenner to play was just apublicitystunt, they only had to watchher perform off the first tee, garneringan eagle on the four-par hole.

It was Abby Wambach, who creat-ed the pro-am’s biggest response whenshe was the first non-golfer to defy tra-dition and break the sanctity of Poppy’sPond by taking an unauthorized leapinto the water.

There were tfour additional firsts atthis year’s ANA Inspiration. Theseinclude the winner of the ANA JuniorInspiration receiving the final amateurexemption into the tournament field.

The second new tradition is thatthe world’s best women athletes, notjust golfers, will headline the ANAInspiring Women in Sports Conferenceto be held during Inspiration-week.This year’s participants were MissyFranklin, Jessica Long, Julie Foudy,Lindsey Vonn, Abby Wambach andKristie Yamaguchi.

Thirdly, this year’s tourney featureda new sport: FootGolf. which meldstogether European football with golf. Itis played with a regulation soccer ballon shortened golf holes with 21-inchdiameter cups into the green. Otherthan that the rules of golf prevail.Though relatively unheard of, FootGolfhas more than 460 certified andaccredited participation golf facilities.

The final first: Lydia Ko, the world’s#1 female golfer who strengthened herhold on that ranking with her win atthe ANA Inspiration.

Editor’s Note: In 2008 voters approved an 8-story building on Wilshire Boulevard and MervGriffin Way and an 18-story building on SantaMonica. This new initiative is to move the 8-storybuilding from Wilshire to the top of the 18-storybuilding on Santa Monica. Replacing the Wilshirebuilding will be a 1.7-acre garden with a recordedcovenant that the garden will always be available forpublic use.

******To the residents of Beverly Hills, given what has

been going on in our City over last six to eight months(but actually longer), I have created a new series forthe mass media.

Being a comedy drama, it is a series based uponThe Beverly Hillbillies. However, this one is not abou-ton the people moving to Beverly Hills because themade a lot of money from the oil and gas industry.

No, this one is due to the development over-building of our City that was part of its Centennial andput in place 30 years before by former Mayor RichardStone !!

There are rules and restrictions for buildingheights in Beverly Hills. Now case after case hascome to the City Administration and the City Council(e;g Townscape did last Tuesday at the council meet-ing) that raise questions and issues about the City'srules and restrictions.

And even more since the Hilton “Garden” andWanda Building among others coming. The City hadpassed a Sustainability Plan in 2009 and then furtherapproved in 2014 for the near future when the watercrisis ends. None of this has happened.

So the new comedy drama is “Beverly BuildingBullies” which I have registered.

Stay tuned as this will be a big success for all theresidents. Dr. Woodrow W. Clark II

As residents, the Akhtarzad family is endorsing theBeverly Hills Garden & Open Space initiative on theNovember ballot. We believe it is the right thing for ourCity. The Beverly Hilton site has long needed revital-ization and the prepared initiative greatly improves theplans for the site. Residents have a chance to have asay on what they would prefer–two buildings or onebuilding with a garden. Through this petition, it placesthe initiative on the ballot. That being said, we believewe have nothing to lose and might have something togain.

Kourosh Akhtarzad and Family******

A circulator for the petition to put the revisedBeverly Hilton Plan on the ballot in Novemberknocked on my door yesterday. He told me that thiswould be the tallest building in Beverly Hills and, withthe initiative, the residents can decide if they want this26 story project.

I signed the petition and then asked him why TheBeverly Hilton would want to put it on the ballot andrisk denial when it already had City approval. He didnot know the answer but called someone from mydoorstep to get the answer for me. I was told that theproject has not been approved by the City. Finding outthat my original understanding was incorrect, I imme-diately scratched my name off of the petition.

If you do not want to see a new, 26 story building,then don't sign the petition. Why risk skewed anddeceptive information and downright spin regardingthis project which may lull enough voters to get thisrevised project passed, especially since the City hasnot given its approval.

Have we ever seen a developer present an accu-rate and honest presentation of an oversized project tothe voters? Christine Skirmuntt Ford

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Apr. 8). This will be an ambitious time foryou, as you see gleaming potential in a situation that's just out ofyour reach. Education will close the gap. Put your time andmoney into that in June and don't stop until you have the certifi-cate in your hand. You'll take a road trip, meet like minds andfind much inspiration in August. Libra and Pisces adore you.ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). Go at the project with a mix of twoparts logic and one part intuition. Why so heavy on the logic?Well, you don't want to discount your inner knowing, but youneed to test and measure extra carefully on this one.TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). You're kind to the one who is kind toyou, and also kind to the one who is not. This is further proof thatkindness is who you are, and not the means to an end. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your optimism, based on nothing atall, is nonetheless wholehearted. This blind and buoyant opti-mism is the best kind of optimism you could have today, and youwill be richly rewarded for your faith. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Just because you hold a certain belieffor many years, that does not make it automatically true. Butbecause this belief has been with you so long, even when youdeclare it false, it will take some time to fall out of the rotation. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Keep the receipts, because there's a goodchance there will be some returns later. This isn't about makingmistakes; it is about getting closer and closer to the very specificanswer to your problem. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A feeling about a special relationshipwill come over you this weekend. It may seem to you the wholeuniverse exists just to bring this magic combination together.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Nope, it's not your imagination. Youare being tested, and even scored in some way. When you dowell, you'll be let deeper into a situation or relationship. This iswhere all the gold is, by the way.SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Irritants come in many forms: per-fumes, pollen, people. Ultimately, it doesn't matter what or whois to blame. You still have to rise above the irritant. Tolerance willset you free. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your physical sensations areimportant, but not overly so. Be careful not to magnify theirimpact on the situation at hand. You'll make gains by beingtough, able and focused on the bigger picture. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The worry is positive if it causesyou to make an action plan. For that matter, mistakes can be pos-itive, too, and so can arguments. Forward momentum will becaused by disruption. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There is more around to causealarm than harm. Resolve not to let yourself get so apprehensivekeeping you from exploring exciting new avenues. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). Grass grows all by itself. Good! Youappreciate this landscaping development, but know better thanto waste precious energy focusing on what is out of your control.

Guest Editorial by Robert K. TanenbaumTHE ROAD MORE TIMID

While reflecting on the state of our politics,Winston Churchill quipped that the best argumentagainst democracy was to have a 10 minute conversa-tion with the average voter. So too, one can argue, isto witness how elected representatives become com-promised and corrupted by cronyism and mindlessobeisance to city staff reports.

Recently at City Hall, a confluence of corruptcomplicity has become the new normal. It doesn’ttake a fiery polemicist to be appalled by the dissolu-tion of the Rule of Law – let’s see why.

It’s been four and a half months since 196 treeswere clear cut on the arsenic contaminated soilembracing Parcels denoted 12 and 13, located in thearea between the south side of Santa MonicaBoulevard and Civic Center Drive, stretching out east-ward from City Hall for approximately five acres. Allof the clear cutting was done in violation of the state’sEPA Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC)directives. City Manager Mahdi Aluzri, senior staff,and the city attorney, all were on notice that the DTSCis the lead agency that regulates and monitors con-tamination present on all land, public and private,and is responsible for monitoring the soil conditionsand overseeing any work that takes place on Parcels12 and 13, the arsenic contaminated strip.

From as early as June 17, 2015, up through Nov.18, the city manager and his team were noticed inwriting and verbally by DTSC that No Clean Upwould be permitted on the site without DTSCapproval that would also require its oversight, man-agement, and supervision. Nevertheless, despite theseDTSC admonitions, the city manager permitted theclear cutting to occur on Nov. 21-22. Significant tonote that City Manager Aluzri for the first time finallynotified the members of the Beverly Hills City Councilat 5:22 p.m. on Nov. 20, the early evening before thechop down was to occur. In his after-hours notice, Mr.Aluzri advised that the trees would be cut down soon,knowing that it was to occur the next morning onNov. 21.

In the weeks following the wrongful clear cut-ting, the city manager created and disseminated, inconcert with senior staff, a false narrative that was toldto the public and councilmembers which bespokedeceitful misrepresentations, to wit: “the trees wereon private property and the City had to give a permitto the property owner.” In fact, no permit was evergiven. Both the toxic contaminated private and publicproperty are under the jurisdiction of DTSC which Mr.

property are under the jurisdiction of DTSC which Mr. Aluzri was well aware. Also, in excess of 92 treeswere situated on public property.

The city manager well knew that the public mes-sage was false and disseminated it with reckless disre-gard for the truth.

Yet, in an interview with The Courier thatappeared on March 18, Councilmember Julian Golddescribed, in substance, City Manager Mahdi Aluzrias a “great new leader.” Mr. Aluzri violated andignored state mandates, failed to notice councilmem-bers in a timely fashion about the clear cutting, andthen falsely informed the public about the entire mis-adventure.

On Jan. 5, the city attorney submitted an allegedinvestigative report regarding the matter. When askedto reveal the depth and scope of its investigation, theCity Attorney disclosed that the only individualsinquired of were the lawyer for the property owner,Lyn Konheim, and senior staff members at City Hall.No one from DTSC was spoken to and the CityAttorney report was devoid of the unequivocal admo-nitions and directives issued by DTSC.

At the public hearing on January 5, 2016, andthereafter, Councilmember Willie Brien praised andsupported the city attorney’s report, the City ManagerAluzri, and property owner Lyn Konheim.

Most recently, after a meeting with Mayor JohnMirisch on March 18, residents in attendancerequested a meeting with the city manager in themayor’s office. During the week of March 21, the res-idents were informed by Mayor Mirisch that he hadarranged a meeting with Mr. Aluzri scheduled for 11a.m. on March 30. By week’s end, Mr. Aluzri changedhis mind and cancelled, alleging that a special coun-sel is going to be hired to investigate the matter.

To date, as of this writing, no one at City Hall hasbeen held accountable. It’s just business as usual.Julian Gold’s praise of Mr. Aluzri in The Courier inter-view of March 18, sends a sad message to the publicas does Willie Brien’s comments regarding Mr. Aluzriand his support for the city attorney report of Jan. 5:principles, integrity, and excellence in job perform-ance may be fine aspirationally, but don’t let them getin the way of friendship and cronyism.

Gold and Brien may choose the road more timidbut those committed to the Rule of Law will remainbold and assertive demanding justice.Robert K. Tanenbaum is a world-renowned, best-sell-ing author and former mayor of Beverly Hills
