Billy, Billy, Billy! Partymaestro. Artistic genius.A.k.a. Billy Butchkavitz.He’s a “Bash master” head-lines Biz Bash magazine.

It happened in Hawaii.During those ’80s and ’90s,Billy’s designing talents werefully recognized andacclaimed as sensational.After orchestrating a grandslam event for U. K’s PrincePhilip’s wildlife charity, hebecame sought after for majorcorporate and social affairs.

Billy’s party expertiseand exhuberant creativity daz-zles every HBO event we’veattended. Emmys, GoldenGlobes, world premieres, etc.Always original. Alwayssumptuous.

A major thanks to HBOfor introducing Hollywood toBilly and allowing his freereign to wow us time andagain. His admirers includeHollywood Reporter publisherLynne Segall, invariably curi-ous about what designs Billywill mix and match for thenext event.

For HBO’s premiere lastweek of Larry David’s barmyClear History at theCinerama Dome, Billy, hisbrother Brian and sisterPeggy transformed the gar-gantuan parking spacebehind the theater into amerry roar of an amusementpark. Billy waved thatmagic wand, with L.A. TimesIrene Lacher enthusing toSteve Stabler and VivianMayer that we suddenlyarrived in Oz. Agreed.Only Toto was missing.

Hundreds of pre-mieregoers indulged inpartying here, there andeverywhere, with HBOflying in the rattle-and-roll band members ofChicago to perform theirhit songs.

The band figures inthe plot of Clear History’sraunchy madness which fea-tures comedic antics from JonHamm, Kate Hudson (in a not-to-be-missed freak-out scenewhen Larry David puts themoves on her), Eva Mendes,Michael Keaton, DannyMcBride, Bill Hader, J.B.Smoove, Philip Baker Hall,Paul Scheer, Amy Ryan (gos-siped about her carrying-onwith the band). Of course,smart ass Larry never misses abeat, kicking butt and more inevery scene.

Taking a cue from them o v i e ’ splot, Billyirresistiblydes ignedthat hugea m u s e -ment parkw i t hc l o w n sand cottonc a n d y ,photo opsand aF e r r i swheel thata t t rac tedq u e u e spast mid-night. Thec r o w d spa t ien t lywaited fortheir rides,including

our HBO’s Mara Mikialianof Nancy Lesser’s team. Wewonder were HBO majordomos Richard Pepler, SueNaegle, and Len Amato amongthem?

You’ll laugh at the insid-er gag about an infamouspainting of a red supermarketcart. “It’s a Pepler!” Larry yells,and leave it to Billy to gatherdozens of red supermarketcarts out and about. Alsobuilding a platform stage tospotlight The Howard, thenewfangled car in the film that“marketing whiz” Larrydenounces as a clunker. He

wants his investment sharesback. Well … guess what?

Reveling in itsdumb-and-dumber spirit,Clear History premiereson Aug. 10 – a fresh reliefof cool spring water afterour exhausting heat waveof been-there bombs dur-ing this hell of aHollywood summer.

More about blue-eyed Billy of the goldenlocks. Born a farmboy inPennsylvania. Beginningat age 9, Billy planned

and hosted Christmas andbirthday surprises for hisfamily (mom a display artist,dad an architect). Aftergraduating with a degree inbroadcast journalism atPhiladelphia’s TempleUniversity, he hit the surferwaves in Hawaii, served as aradio intern, before design-ing sets for the local resortsand hotels.

How did this loyalconnection with HBOcome to pass? Grinningboyishly, Billy says he metwith the pay channel’sfolks in 1994 in Hawaii,“Serendipitous … don’tthey say success is a mat-ter of preparation meetingopportunity, and being inthe right place at the righttime?”

He admits a lifelongpassion for travel, whichinspires his party themes,be they Asian or Brazilianor whatever in their boldcolor schemes and richtextures. Additionallyconfesses a love for floral

design, personallyarranging thosehumungous creationsat events. He neverdrinks, runs on thehighest energy, relishesoverseeing detail upondetail. We’ve oftenremarked that Billyeven has eyes that arein the back of his head.

to additional funders,” Cook told TheCourier.

As Chairman, Cook said he hopesto focus on program development,branding, forging partnerships withleaders in industry, education and thecommunity, and identifying new poten-tial streams of revenue. Cook empha-sized that achieving quality programingwhich is critical to drawing in new anddiverse audiences.

Cook is a 38-year veteran of TheWalt Disney Company and started thereby working as a ride operator at Disney-land in 1970. Cook worked his way upfrom there to become Chairman of TheWalt Disney Studios. He has overseenmany major motion pictures such as the

Caribbean franchise, the Toy Story trilo-gy, Alice in Wonderland, and FindingNemo. Earlier this year, Cook workedas the executive producer of of box of-fice hit 42. The movie was crowned thelargest debut for a basketball film onrecord and opened at $27.3 million atthe box-office.

“Dick Cook is a very accomplisheddeveloped figure in the entertainmentbusiness here in the west coast,”KCETLink CEO Al Jerome said. “Dick'sexpertise in programing and his expert-ise in branding are going to be of greatbenefit to us as we role out this newKCETLink.”

KCETLink is a national independ-ent, nonprofit, digital and broadcast net-work that provides high-quality cultural-ly diverse, and even international pro-gramming.

COOK(Continued from page 5)

ate the bond sale and asked the schoolboard to send it to a public vote on theNovember ballot. The deadline to add itas a November ballot measure is Aug.9.

On June 26, the Beverly HillsSchool Board voted 4-1 (with BrianGoldberg dissenting) to accelerate thepayback rate of the $334 million Mea-sure E bond. That decision could causeBeverly Hills property taxes to rise up to$114 per $100,000 of assessed valuefor the 2013/14 year.

All five councilmembers statedtheir opposition to that decision andsaid the decision on whether or not toaccelerate the bond should go to thevoters. Only Mirisch, however, waswilling to support the resolution.

“I do believe when you make acampaign promise, it is sacred. I firmlystand by that,” Vice Mayor Lili Bossesaid, adding that she personally didn’tsupport the school board’s decision, butdidn’t see a need for the resolution. “Wehave all individually stated how we feelabout this issue. To me, having a formalresolution if there is no endgame…there is nothing to be gained by this res-

olution. If there was an ability to rescindthe acceleration, then I think it makessense. That’s where I’m having a prob-lem.”

Krasne said she wanted to give theschool board more time to work the sit-uation out and “do the right thing.”

“Can we wait? On one hand, violat-ing the promise (not to accelerate thebond when it originally passed) is sowrong. On the other hand, can we waitand see what they do?” Krasne asked.“Let’s give them a chance to do the rightthing.”

Gold said he didn’t support the res-olution because he didn’t believe theCity Council should involve itself in theaffairs of the school board. Brien saidwhile he opposes the acceleration, hehas already made his personal opinionknown to members of the school boardand didn’t feel a resolution would tellthem anything they don’t already know.

Mirisch said the most importantpart of the resolution for him was simplyasking that the decision be sent out fora vote.

“Don’t accelerate without voter ap-proval. If you want to cull it down toone sentence, that would be it,” Mirischsaid.

MEASURE E(Continued from page 1)

The trio gave direction to ensurethat no Metro permits will be granted forwork in Beverly Hills city limits unlessapproved by the City Council.

“I don’t think Metro should get afree ride,” Krasne said. “When theywant something, they can come in andask for it.”

The item, brought up for discussionby Mirisch, was to review the City’sprocess for viewing and approvingMetro permits. Mirisch wanted thecouncil to be able to review every sin-gle permit request that comes fromMetro for its work on the Westside Sub-way Extension.

The three-phase Purple Line exten-sion includes stops in Beverly Hills atWilshire/La Cienega Boulevard andWilshire/Rodeo Drive. A third phase hasbeen approved to tunnel under BeverlyHills High School for a station in Centu-ry City. The City and School District arecurrently suing to block funding for con-struction of those tunnels.

“Our goals are simply to protect theinterests of our residents and business-es,” Mirisch said.

Mirisch’s request to review Metropermits found favor with Bosse andKrasne. Councilmembers Julian Goldand Willie Brien dissented, saying itwould be too time consuming to reviewevery single Metro permit that came be-fore the council.

METRO(Continued from page 1)

Schulman and Mercedes-Benz ofBeverly Hills donated $100,000 to be-come the official automotive sponsorfor the City of Beverly Hills’ 100th birth-day celebration.

“(Schulman) is always there for ourcommunity, in every way,” Vice MayorLili Bosse added. “I can’t think of anyother business that steps up the way(Mercedes-Benz) does.”

Schulman said it was a “pleasureand honor to have worked in BeverlyHills for the last eight years.”

Hall criticized the dearth of quali-fied candidates, citing only two appli-cants for the position.

“I don’t think he’s an adequate re-placement for Coach Fisher,” Colemansaid.

The position has been vacant sinceJune, when the administration failed torenew coach Jeff Fisher’s contract for an-other year, despite a successful legacy ofhaving coached BHHS runners for fourseasons, which included numerous tripsto the CIF and State Championships.

the only councilmember to supporthaving a formal hand in the hiringprocess.

Department heads are often themost important and highest profile Cityemployees. Examples of a departmenthead would be police chief, fire chief,director of public works and director ofcommunity services.

Currently, as is the case in mostcities with a council-manager form ofgovernment, City Manager Jeff Kolin hasthe authority to recruit and hire depart-ment heads.

Mirisch has said his reason for therequest is not to take power from Kolin,but to allow more community involve-ment into the hiring process of importantCity officials.

Traditionally, a two-member councilad-hoc committee meets vets prospec-tive hires during the process, althoughthat is not currently formalized in anysort of City code. The council did agreeto formalize that process, mandating

that a liaison committee of at least twocouncilmembers must meet with the ap-plicant.

“I thought all councilmembersshould meet the applicants, not justtwo,” Bosse said. “I felt that everyoneshould have all the information.”

Krasne said she was concernedabout privacy issues involved for the ap-plicants in terms of making the processpublic, but said she did want the coun-cil to have a bigger role in dealing withCity employees who have made mis-takes or errors.

“If you’re calling up performance re-views on the basis of a single coun-cilmember, you’re going to be takingover the City Manager’s role as person-nel administrator of the City,” Kolin said.

Councilmembers Julian Gold andWillie Brien said they felt the current hir-ing process was working and didn’t needa change.

The council will re-agendize theitem and discuss how to deal with em-ployee retention at a future meeting.

By Matt LopezMake way for another

landmark property in BeverlyHills.

On Tuesday, the BeverlyHills City Council approved theAnthony-Kerry House at 910 N.Bedford Dr. as the 14th localhistoric landmark in BeverlyHills. The property has beenadded to the local register ofhistoric places.

The two-story home wasconstructed in 1909 by famedarchitects Charles and Henry

Greene. It was originally locat-ed close to Wilshire Boulevardin a then-fashionable neighbor-hood near downtown Los An-geles, but moved to BeverlyHills less than 20 years later.

The home bears all thesimilarities to the GreeneBrothers’ Craftsman-style archi-tecture.

“It really is the high pointof the Craftsman style and wehave it right here in BeverlyHills,” City Urban Planner BillCrouch said.

Leslie Dixon, owner of thehome, has worked hard to keepit in its original form.

“The Greene Brothers wereconsidered the Frank LloydWright of the Craftsman move-ment in Southern California,”Dixon said.

“This is one of only twohomes on the Westside theycreated. This one still looks likethe homes in Pasadena, insideand out. I’ve put quite a bit ofmy soul into protecting it.”

Anthony-Kerry House On North Bedford Drive-Named 14th Beverly Hills Local Landmark

HISTORIC LANDMARK—The Beverly Hills City Council this weekdesignated the Anthony-Kerry House as a historic landmark.

(CNS) Opponents of aplanned Hollywood skyscraperdevelopment accused Los An-geles city officials this week ofcovering up the possibility ofan active earthquake fault un-der the project site, and calledfor an independent panel of ex-perts to oversee a new seismicstudy.

Two weeks after the L.A.City Council signed off on theMillennium Hollywood devel-opment, which would include39- and 35-story skyscrapersflanking the Capitol Records

building, opponents of theproject continued blasting theplans, threatening a lawsuit inthe coming weeks.

Faced with criticism abouta previous study which showedno earthquake risks, the NewYork-based developer, Millen-nium Partners, agreed to do anew study that would involvedigging a trench under the proj-ect site.

Robert Silverstein, an attor-ney for several dozen neigh-borhood council and home-owner groups opposing the

project, called the proposedstudy into question, saying cityleaders should instead form a``panel of neutral experts'” toconduct the new study.

Silverstein said the outsidepanel is needed because of whathe called a “cover-up” at cityhall. The attorney said emailsshow city officials knew in 2012about the project's potentialproximity to an earthquake fault,but failed to disclose the con-cerns in the environmental im-pact report approved by the L.A.City Council.

On Friday, a four-month-long closure of the SunsetBoulevard off ramp on thenorthbound 405 Freeway be-gan its four-month shut down,adding to traffic woes that thealready over-clogged arterialway is known for.

The committee’s proposal includes$150,000 for an outdoor block partythat day at City Hall, which triggeredsome concern among the council abouthow the weather would be.

Councilmember Nancy Krasne saidshe was concerned about rain on Jan.28.

“If we’re concerned about rain, let’spick something we can do where thatwon’t be an issue. Something the com-munity can participate in on the actualday,” Mayor John Mirisch said. “Let’s fig-ure it out. Time is ticking away.”

Another change to the proposal wasto do away with $25,000 earmarked forthe Sister Cities Initiative and direct thatmoney to the Heart of Palms public artinstallation.

There was also some hesitationabout a proposed Beverly Hills docu-mentary for $250,000. CentennialCommittee Chair Dick Rosenzweig saidhe was hoping a documentary would becreated that could be picked up by a na-tional network.

Krasne said she would like to see atreatment of the script before approvingthe money.

tique hotel has been proposedfor development by Sonnen-blick Development.

Mayor John Mirischbrought the topic up for discus-

sion, saying he wanted to get afeel for how the council andcommunity wanted to proceed.Development on that land hasbeen a tenuous topic for manyin the City in the past.

“In times gone by, discus-sion of potential land uses inthe industrial zone were divi-sive in the community,” Mirischsaid. “People felt that we as acity should keep the land in theindustiral zone because wenever knew what we’d need itfor.”

Mirisch, Vice Mayor LiliBosse and councilmemberNancy Krasne agreed that anysuch proposals should come tothe City Council for a publichearing first. In the past, thatwould have been handled byan ad hoc committee.

One reason for the interestin the 9268 Third St. location isbecause of the proposed sale ofthe post office, which sits adja-cent to the property. The staffreport said Sonnenblick isamong those who have re-sponded to the post office re-quest for bids.

“It’s a sensitive piece ofland, so let’s open up theprocess so there’s public in-volvement as to what we dothere,” Mirisch said.

I’ve just read the-ater critic and musicaltheater expert PeterFilichia’s new book,Strippers, Showgirls AndSharks: A VeryOpinionated History OfThe Broadway MusicalsThat Did Not Win TheTony Award. And sinceI, too, am very opinionated, I knowexactly where he is coming from.

Luckily for Filichia and his read-ers, his book has turned up at amoment when theater lovers are recov-ering from the fierce competitionbetween the entertaining and super-sentimental Kinky Boots and the bril-liantly dark Matilda, for this year’s BestMusical Tony Award.

Kinky won out, and as many ofyou think, that particular victory quali-fies as an injustice. The first thingFilichia points out—and hopefully hisrecollection will be of some consola-tion to the maltreated Matilda posse—is the fact that it’s not the first timesuch an event has occurred. Not by along shot.

Unbelievable as it seems, theJule Styne- Stephen Sondheim- ArthurLaurents classic, Gypsy—hailed by for-mer New York Times theater criticFrank Rich and current Times’ man-on-the-aisle, Ben Brantley as the greatest

American musical— not only lostbut lost twice!

And not only that. TheMusic Man vanquished West SideStory ... the forgettable and for-gotten rock musical, TwoGentlemen Of Verona, trumpedStephen Sondheim’s brilliantFollies ... and the pure-of-heartMan Of La Mancha bested BobFosse’s cynical tale of a hooker-with-a-heart of gold, Sweet

Charity.

Filichia concludes: shows thatprovide pure entertainment have amuch better shot at victory than thosewith greater artistic aspirations anddarker storylines.

Are you surprised? I’m not.

After all, the 26 Tony Awards aredecided upon by a mere 868 voters,including a substantial bloc of out-of-town producers and promoters. Andbelieve-you-me, they are going to casttheir ballots for the shows they thinkwill sell the most tickets on the road.

Strippers, Showgirls And Sharks isorganized by themes, “Losers ThatShould Have Won,” “The Best MusicalsTony Losers That Were Too Good forthe Average Man” and “The BestMusical Tony Losers That Were LameDucks on Awards Night,” and the like.The chapter headings trigger a series ofin-depth histories of a number of the-atrical seasons and the musicals they

encompassed, resulting in abook that musical theater fanat-ics will treasure.

Throughout the book, thereare fascinating pieces of trivia aswell. For example, Wicked,greatly favored to beat AvenueQ, ostensibly lost thanks to a ter-rific PR stunt: a pizza party host-ed by the puppets. And perhapsone of the strangest and mostunlikely shows ever to be nomi-nated in the Best Musical catego-ry, The Lieutenant, was a rockopera about Lt. William Calleywho led the My Lai massacreduring the Vietnam War. It onlylasted a mere nine performancesand yet it was also nominated forBest Score, Best Book and BestActor in a Musical!

Or yet again, there’s thecase of David Merrick, the leg-endary producer who ruled theMain Stem from the1950s tothe 1980s, and was labeled“The Beast of Broadway” and“The Abominable Showman,”earned only two Best MusicalTonys? It makes me wonder ifthere are times when personal-ity does count.

Meanwhile, when it’s all said anddone, after reading Strippers, ShowgirlsAnd Sharks… I’ve become a favoredguest at New York dinner parties withall of my newly acquired knowledge ofthe inside story of the Tony Awards.

‘Purging’ Stem Cells May HelpChild Cancer Patients

Judith Villablanca, M.D., ofThe Saban Research Institute ofChildren’s Hospital Los Angeles(CHLA), Susan Kreissman, M.D.,of Duke University MedicalCenter, and colleagues reportedthe results of a randomized,phase 3 clinical trial conductedby the Children’s OncologyGroup examining the effect ofselectively removing (purging)tumor cells from blood stemcells before they are transplant-ed back into patients with high-risk neuroblastoma followinghigh-dose chemotherapy.

This is the first randomizedtrial looking at the effect oftumor selective stem-cell purg-ing on patient outcome. Thestudy was published online lastmonth in Lancet Oncology.

Neuroblastoma is the sec-ond most common solid tumorin children.

Half of all children diag-nosed with this condition havehigh-risk disease, meaning theyare less responsive to treatmentand have less than a 50 percentchance of survival.

Standard treatment includesa course of high-dose chemo-therapy because it is more effec-tive at killing tumor cells, how-ever, it also kills the normalblood-forming cells in the bonemarrow.

To mitigate this effect, someimmature blood cells (calledperipheral blood stem cells orPBSC) are removed before thechild is treated with high-dose

Dr. Fran: My 9-year-old spends a lotof time alone in his room recently.He doesn’t want play dates and does-n’t seem his usual self. I think he maybe signed up for too many differentsummer camps and extra classes.Can you share 4-5 signs that yourchild might be doing too much/tak-ing too much on? William Z.

A. Dear William: It’s really good thatyou are asking this important ques-tion. In their desire to give their chil-dren an enriched summer, many signtheir kids up to attend a few differenttypes of day camps. I always adviseagainst this because it can be over-whelming to get to know your peergroup, make a friend and establishyour social position and then have tostart all over two weeks later. It’s toomuch for any kid to have to transitionthat many times.

Here are a few of the things tolook out for as indicators that yourchild may be doing too much.

1. Any change in sleeping or eat-ing patterns.

2. Mood changes includingincreased anxiety, depression, orworried states may be a sign of over-load.

3. Social isolation. If your childstays in her room, doesn’t want to goon play dates, or hang out at the mallwith friends this is cause for concern.

4. If your child states he hastaken on too much or is over-whelmed, pay close attention andtake his words seriously.

When a child (or adult) is sad,unhappy or depressed; it is commonto see sleep disruption and increase

or decrease in appetite. These aresigns for parents to look for in a childwho may be doing too much.

Some kids can’t express theirfeelings directly to their parents.Instead, we see these children sup-press their emotions and eventuallywe can observe a change in theirmood.

It is extremely important to haveopen dialogue and communicationwith your child. When children are-depressed, they tend to isolate them-selves and not want to be aroundother kids or adults.

Some are able to articulate theirfeelings directly to their parents.Moms and Dads, pay attention.

Listen to your children’s voicesand respond with compassion andempathy. Offer to make changes toinsure success in the activities yourchild chooses to remain committedto.

The best way to ensure yourchild’s life is balanced and manage-able is to include him or her in theplanning process. Don’t force theunwanted activity upon your child.

Today, kids are overbooked withkarate, art classes, tutors, music,sports, and drama classes. Most kidscome into my office in the after-noons, throw themselves onto mycouch and complain about how tired

they are. They simply crave quiettime.

Give your child choices of activ-ities acceptable to you. Let him or herchoose no more than two extra activ-ities per week and help them follow-through with the commitment to thefinish line.

Many parents bring their kids tomy office complaining that they dropout of group activities and do notstick it out to the end. It is importantto help your child follow-through oncommitments.

Naturally, there are a few excep-tions, but in general help your childstay until the series is completed.There is a wonderful feeling of self-accomplishment when you completean activity from start to finish.

The reason simply playing and“being kids” is important is to allowtheir imaginations to develop andgrow. Organized activities usuallyfollow a protocol and do not provideopportunities to enhance a person'simagination.

Our use of imagination helps uscreate in our mind’s eye a vision offorward motion and development ofour life goals and dreams.

Just “being kids” also buildssocial skills when playing in theneighborhood with friends. Everyhuman being needs time to relax andthat is also why simply playing isimportant for children.

chemotherapy and then re-infused after treatment.This procedure is called an autologous peripheralblood stem-cell transplant.

Since neuroblastoma often spreads into theblood and bone marrow, stem cells collected fortransplant may be mixed with tumor cells.

It was not known if removing tumor cells fromthe stem cells would change the outcome forpatients.

To find out, Robert Seeger, MD, Patrick Reynolds,MD, PhD and their team at CHLA, developed a tech-nique for removing or “purging” the tumor cells fromthe blood stem cells.

This technique involved using antibodies thatattached the tumor cells to magnetic beads, and thenwere removed using strong magnets.

Purging stem cells as well as the high dosechemotherapy regimen used in this study were bothfirst piloted in a prior multi-center trial led by CHLAand chaired by Dr. Villablanca.

Keck Medicine department chairs, as well as leader-ship of the Keck Medical Center of USC, USCVerdugo Hills Hospital and the USC Care MedicalGroup (composed of Keck School of Medicine ofUSC faculty physicians), which are all part of KeckMedicine of USC.

“Physicians in independent practice are increas-ingly financially tethered to medical centers,” saidJohn Niparko, M.D., president of USC Care MedicalGroup.

“Our current economics and health reform areaccelerating this trend. These partnerships have manyworking parts, however. With his experience, Dr.McAfee offers insight and flexible thinking in devel-oping well-managed physician foundations.

“He knows how to build these relationships. Hisappointment reflects Keck Medicine's desire todevelop new approaches and an exceptional systemof healthcare for Southern California,” Niparko said.

Studio Brava Excels At Pain Relief, Improving Quality Of Life

At Studio Brava, Physical Thera-pist and Owner Cristina Popescuworks to make sure her clients

are pain free.She took the name of her business

from the Italian “bravo” for good job.And that’s what she’s known for.

When people go to doctors forpain, they often prescribe physicaltherapy. And Popescu is a top choicefor many doctors and nurses she’sworked with because they know theirpatients will get pain and injury solu-tions and compassionate and thoroughcare.

The cozy and homey studio is de-signed to make people feel at home.It’s quiet and private—not like a biggym—with floor-to-ceiling windows andhardwood floors.

There’s no waiting and clients getPopescu’s full attention during theirhour or hour-and-15-minute sessions.

Popescu, who trained in her nativeRomania for four years, and worked formore than 15 years as a physical ther-apist in a full spectrum of rehabilita-tion settings, opened her office twoyears ago.

A star athlete in her native coun-try, Popescu excelled in track and fieldas a hurdler. She was the top runner inher country by age 15 and a nationalchampion.

Then she fell and broke her knee.After more knee problems she decidedto go into the medical field to combine

her interests in physical therapy andsports.

She treats people of all ages,starting from the early teens to theelderly.

Popescu cared for her grandmoth-er and her vast background of workingat skilled nursing homes and hospitals,as well as providing outpatient andhome visits, gives her a solid back-ground in geriatric care.

When patients first come to StudioBravo, they get a complete physicalexam. Popescu checks for such thingsas muscle, joint, mobility and strengthand develops a plan of care.

Studio Brava offers programs thathave proven to be effective for peoplesuffering from all types of pain—in theshoulder, elbow, hand and wrist; hipand knee, jaw, ankle and foot, elbow,neck, TMJ, head and back.

Popescu’s patients often see im-mediate results and they receive train-ing on how to avoid future problems.

Benefits include living life more en-joyably and returning to a more activelifestyle, better sleep, increased flexi-bility and movement and improved corestability.

She has numerous tools at her dis-posal to help patients get pain relief,including:

• The NeuroCom System helps herevaluate a patient’s balance and cre-ate a customized treatment program toimprove walking, equilibrium and inde-

pendence. This program is best for sen-iors; but is often used for people whosuffer a fracture, a hip or knee replace-ment or an ankle strain.

The machine uses a fixed forceplate to measure the vertical forcesexerted through the patient's feet tomeasure center-of-gravity position andpostural control.

The system helps the senses:touch (feet and ankles), sight (eyes)and inner-ear motion sensors work to-gether in harmony with the brain.Repetitive training will re-educate thepatient in how to bear weight, shift thecenter of gravity, increase speed reac-tion and coordination of movement.

Part of Studio Bravo’s Fall Preven-tion and Balance Disorder Program,the NeuroCom System helps peopleavoid hip fractures or head injuries,stay active and safe, and feel stronger.

• The ML830 Laser has proven ef-fective in treating a variety ofaches/pain, injuries, wounds, frac-tures, and neurological conditions.

“Our laser therapy is versatile, con-venient, and effective while producingsafe, significant results,” said Popes-cu.

Compared to the ultrasound modal-ity, the laser provides faster and deep-er stimulation into the tissues, produc-ing instant recovery, reports Popescu.

The 830Laser sends light (pho-tons) into injured tissues and can pen-etrate two inches without being ab-

sorbed by the skin, fat or blood.No heat is generated so it is safe

for virtually anywhere on the body.Once the photons find the injured tis-sues, they stimulate and energize thecells to repair and strengthen at a fastrate.

The treatment does not wear offlike most medicines; and additionalbenefits include better circulation, re-duced inflammation, decreased painand increasing of the body’s own heal-ing process.

• The Kinesio tape program is atechnique designed to facilitate thebody’s natural healing process. It pro-vides stability and support to musclesand joints without restricting thebody’s range of motion.

The wrapping relieves pressure onswollen injured soft tissue.

Popescu has five-star rankings andrave reviews on Yelp.

In glowing testimonials, clientsspecifically cite her customer service,integrity and ability to rid them of nag-ging pain.

One reviewer said, “Cristina hasone goal in mind when she sees her pa-tients: to make them feel better soonand to heal them completely.”

Studio Brava services are accept-ed by 38 different insurance carriers.

SCHOOLS& EDUCATION

Atlanta Country Day School—Elite Accredited Personalized Education

Atlanta Country Day School(ACDS) is making it easy forcelebrity and traveling stu-

dents—or those whose parents justwant to give them a top notch, one-of-a-kind learning experience—to get acustomized, fully accredited education.After opening their highly successfuland popular school in Atlanta, OwnersJan and Mel Cohen have brought theirservices to Beverly Hills and WoodlandHills.

With unprecedented personal at-tention, their highly specialized nicheservices are perfect for students whotravel a great deal, celebrity studentswhose presence would cause a distrac-tion at regular school, and parents whojust want to give their children an edu-cation with lots of personal attention.

A desire for their services fromWestside clients, drove the Cohens toopen a Beverly Hills location at 9701Wilshire Blvd.

They are already meeting theneeds of discriminating, high-profileclients.

The Cohens appeared on anepisode of a highly popular reality showwith two of their clients; and theirteachers work with a hot young heart-throb pop singer and his brother andsister.

The daughter of celebrities, now asought-after model, will be among theschool’s first graduates from California.

The Beverly Hills location offers acomputer lab and individualized train-ing—either in the classrooms or stu-

dents’ homes.A well-known

rapper and musicproducer has hischildren taketheir lessons in aclassroom set upin his home.

The advan-tage of usingACDS is thatbesides all therequired standardacademic class-es, teachers offersubjects not usu-ally offered in atraditional class. They’ve had parentssay, “My children are learning for thefirst time,” reports Jan Cohen.

The music entrepreneur wanted hiskids to have poetry. So the teacherincorporates poetry, along with water-color, drawing and French.

“The kids aren’t bored,” says JanCohen. They’re also taking singing anddancing lessons.

Teachers have to be versatile, ableto cover all courses, be fluent in atleast one foreign language, be availableat all hours and be able to travel at amoment’s notice. They’ve been knownto conduct lessons on planes betweengigs.

One client in Beverly Hills livesdown the street from the local office.The teacher picks up the family’s twochildren in the morning on the way toclass. “The parents just want them to

have a quality, custom education,”says Mel Cohen.

With the philosophy that studentneeds always come first, the schoolhas worked with students who sufferedfrom migraines and couldn’t attend reg-ular school; and “kids who are shy ormay have self-esteem issues and needspecial attention.”

In addition to regional accredita-tion through the Georgia AccreditationCommission, the school and programsare accredited by the Southern Associ-ation of Colleges and Schools.

Students are prepared for college;and at the Atlanta school are requiredto apply; 100 perfect are accepted.

The roots of the current businessbegan 25 years ago when a representa-tive for the band Another Bad Creation,a group of six boys ages 6-12, calledtheir school.

He had contacted “every privateschool in Atlanta,” says Mel Cohen,looking for someone to teach a groupthat was constantly touring.

Cohen met with Motown reps andwas able to find qualified teachers andsupply an accredited education for theboy band.

“We’re in the ‘yes’ business,” saidMel Cohen.

Jan Cohen, with a master’s degreein education, was a teacher inAtlanta’s prestigious The Lovett Schooland wondering if she wanted to “be ateacher there forever or start my ownbusiness.”

So in 1977, she talked to friends

and started tutoring in their home “justhelping students” with speed readingand study skills.

Their success with more and morestudents, led the couple to found theirown school, the Atlanta Country DaySchool (ACDS) in 1996.

Serving students in grades 7-12,the school has a limited enrollment of50, with four to six students in a class.“They love it,” says Jan Cohen. And stu-dents attend 12 months of the year.

And a student’s relationship withthe school doesn't have to end at highschool.

Through arrangements with col-leges like Brigham Young University,students can earn independent studyand college credits. “There are a lot ofoptions,” says Mel Cohen.

Further examples of ACDS’s “yes”attitude are:

• Offering accredited, high-schooldriver training through DriversEd.com,an online drivers’ eduction course.

• Offering a residential one- ortwo-week program where studentswork with animals and trainers learningabout marine biology for high-schoolcredit at Busch Gardens Tampa andSea World Orlando.

• Providing elective credits likethey did for reality-show star clientswho attended New York’s FashionWeek.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have guts today, so do what youlove. Someone will enjoy what you produce and get behind you.Others won’t get it. But you don’t need everyone on your side. Themost important person to have on your side is you.SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your sunny mood has you comingat every problem with optimism. You'll assist anyone who needsit. If you keep lifting others up this way, pretty soon everyone willwalk on higher ground. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You have a flair for communication.It starts beforbegin to build a sense of curiosity and expectation. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Writing and transportation are themesof the day that fit together well.

“Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days.” Ben-jamin Franklin had the wit and wisdom to make this state-ment, but P. S. Resorts–an organization made up of localhoteliers to promote Palm Springs tourism through eventsand attractions–had the foresight that proved Franklinwrong–at least when the guest is Marilyn Monroe.

Just over a year ago, P.S. Resorts arranged for a 26 feettall, 17-ton-plus sculpture of Marilyn Monroe to be placedon a vacant lot in the center of downtown Palm Springs to

serve as a temporary tourist at-traction for one year.

Based upon the iconic Sev-en Year Itch scene where Mon-roe’s skirt billows up while shestands over a subway grate, thesculpture, formally known asForever Marilyn and inspired byartist Seward Johnson is ex-tremely realistic – especially inthe skin tones. Her unique pati-na involves 10 layers of hueswith a matte finish except for theglossy elements of her lips, toe-nails and the pearlized finish onher earrings.

The sculpture was an instanthit with both tourists and localresidents, so P.S. Resorts werepleased to report that ForeverMarilyn had extended her stay,first to next September, and thenagain until mid-November,when the sculpture moves to a42-acre sculpture park in NewJersey.

Last year, P. S. Resorts or-ganized a hugely popular out-door Marilyn Monroe movie se-ries where people could watchher classic films and attend aconcert by an Elton John imper-sonator. This year, the specialevents surrounding the sculptureinclude a Sept. 7 showcase for aBeach Boys tribute band and the“Beatles Experience.”

Forever Marilyn will meetyou at Palm Canyon andTahquitz Canyon Drives indowntown Palm Springs.

who has overseen the leader-ship program for roughly adecade, to continue to helmthe program after three motionsto restructure the positionfailed.

“This is probably the sec-ond hardest decision we’ve hadto make as a board,” Board VPNoah Margo said on Tuesday.“It obviously is not a successfulleadership program.”

Following last spring's an-nual ASB trip to San Diego tovolunteer with Habitat for Hu-manity, over 30 ASB studentsreceived disciplinary actionsranging from detention to five-day suspensions as a result ofvarious infractions that hap-pened under Newman's super-vision, including alcohol con-sumption and curfew violation.

President Jake Manastersaid he was very disappointedthat a leadership program did-n’t bring about leadership.

“This isn’t an easy deci-sion,” he said. “The amount ofembarassment that this hasbrought our community cannotbe diminished.”

On Tuesday, the boardunanimously voted to allowNewman to take a 2/5 leave ofabsence from teaching English,but voted down reassigning herfrom her 3/5 ASB teaching po-sition to English.

“Reassigning our currentASB teacher back to Englishdoes not solve the problem,”said Boardmember Lewis Hall,who emphasized that such a

decision was fiscally irrespon-sible in light of the highschool’s already overstaffedEnglish department.

Hall, Manaster and Board-member Lisa Korbatov all voteddown the proposal that wouldhave definitely ousted New-man from leading ASB.

“What happened in SanDiego was unfortunate, but theadministration is taking more ofa vindictive approach to deal-ing with this,” Hall told TheCourier after the meeting.

Superintendent GaryWoods said that the adminis-tration’s decision is not discipli-nary, but rather reflects a com-mitment to restructuring ASB.

Former schoolboard stu-dent member Jason Friedman,who was among the group ofASB students on the spring trip,urged the board to allow New-man to continue in her capaci-ty.

“Newman positively im-pacts students,” he said.

Boardmember Goldbergsaid that although the board’svote might give the appearancethat Newman’s position withASB would remain “status quo”and she would lead the classon Wednesday when school re-sumes, it was “not necessarily”the case.

Today, the board is expect-ed to once again take up the is-sue in closed session in antici-pation of Tuesday’s upcomingformal board meeting.

WEEK’S PAPER…

more than 100,000 Jews. “It is said that he who saves

a life, it is as if he saved the en-tire world,” Consul General ofIsrael David Siegel remindedthose in attendance, which in-cluded L.A. City Attorney MikeFeuer, Councilman Paul Koretz,L.A. County Supervisor ZevYarolslavky, L.A. County SheriffLee Baca and CongressmanAdam Schiff, in addition to lo-cal Jewish leaders and dozensof Holocaust survivors. “[Wal-lenberg] saved not only indi-viduals, but entire generations,

communities and leaders. Thejewish state will forever en-shrine his legacy.”

In honor of Wallenberg'simpact on the fate of the JewishPeople (Wallenberg wouldhave been 101 on Aug. 4), theCity of Los Angeles memorial-ized last Monday as "RaoulWallenberg Day" in conjunc-tion with a morning ceremonyrededicating a statue of Wal-lenberg 25 years after it wasfirst installed.

“Raoul Wallenberg touch-es this community verydeeply,” Feuer told The Couri-er. “There are so many deeppersonal connections that all of

us have, beyond the Holocaust,and we must recall for the cur-rent generation what it meansto display unimaginablecourage in the face of unimag-inable odds.”

Beverly Hills resident An-drew Stevens, a HungarianHolocaust survivor who aidedWallenberg in his efforts, un-derscored the need for futuregenerations to know the stories.

“Fortunately there are stilla few of us living ones fromthat time and we rememberhim,” he said. “This wonderful man comesaround once in a century.”

through Labor Day, The Couri-er booked a booth to see whatall the fuss was about.

According to new operat-ing partner Mark Joaquin,roughly 180 guests select thethree-course dinner special onSundays - the popularity of

which prompted the restaurantto add Monday nights to themix this week.

Guests who order the mealcan choose from one of threesalads, which includes inven-tive takes on the classic“wedge” and “Caesar” salads,followed by a generous portionof prime rib cooked to perfec-tion (which for a true meat en-

thusiast doesn't extend furtherthan medium rare, if that), anyside, including chipotle ched-dar macaroni & cheese, in ad-dition to a variety of vegetableand potato options, followedby any dessert such as thedecadent, but totally worth it,chocolate lava cake.

the petition say there is neverany available parking in frontof their homes because peoplepark, then walk or ride theirbikes to their place of employ-ment.

Judson Mock, who lives at704 N. Crescent and craftedthe petition, said permittingparking would make the 700block of Crescent “the same asevery other street in the area.”

15 of 23 residents of sin-gle-family homes on the block

signed the petitionUltimately, the commis-

sion decided to table the dis-cussion until staff could do fur-ther research into other alterna-tives. Those could include ex-tending the possible permitzone to longer than two hours,or allowing residents in thepermit zone to have guest park-ing passes for residents.

A traffic study done by Citystaff showed 41 percent ofparking taken up during “peakhours” of 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.The study, however, was done

with Hawthorne School out ofsession, which could effect thenumbers. The commission di-rected staff to re-do the studywhen school starts.

Jay Foonberg, a residentwho lives on nearby RexfordDrive, said he was concernedpermit parking on Crescentwould push all the people whowould have parked there overto Rexford.

“When you close some-thing on Crescent, you’re notsolving the problem, you’resimply moving it,” Foonberg.

There is noappeal from a refusal foran incomplete or lateapplication, but re-appli-cation for a later projectis permitted. Neither theclosing time for submit-ting prequalificationpackages for thisProject will be changedin order to accommo-date supplementation ofincomplete submis-sions, or late submis-sions, unless requestedby the CITY in its solediscretion.

In addition to a contrac-tor’s failure to be pre-qualified pursuant to thescoring system set forthin the prequalificationpackage, a contractormay be found not pre-qualified for either omis-sion of or falsification of,any requested informa-tion.

BEVERLY HILLS, LITTLE TOWN OF GIANTS

Page 30| August 9, 2013 BEVERLY HILLSBEVERLY HILLS

Packed tightly into the little town of Beverly, small in numbersbut enormous in influence, is a prestigious combination of glam-orous residences and high-level businesses. Numbering in thelower 30,000s, its impact is felt far beyond its borders.

Its businesses include some of the finest shops and departmentstores in America, attracting a clientele from far beyond its bor-ders. It boasts a huge number of medical offices where some of thetop medical practitioners serve a wide circle of patients. It offersmany restaurants catering to a large variety of tastes. Many banksand branches of other financial institutions are located there.

It contains the famous Colker swept-wing automobile servicestation opposite the soon to be opened Wallis-Annenberg per-formance center in what was formerly the main post office. If myageing memory failed to include other significant locations, I begyour pardon. It is just that the little island called Beverly Hillsdefies description. Oh, and did I mention our little condo acrossfrom Beverly Hills High School?

Guest Editorial

THE SILENT KILLING OF CHRISTIANSBy David Suissa

The Middle East may be a raging wildfire, butthe eyes of the world are on the revival of theIsraeli-Palestinian peace dance — that all-too-familiar game where the Jewish state makes con-cessions (such as releasing terrorists) for the priv-ilege of talking to an enemy who demonizesJews, glorifies terrorists and has already rejectedthree peace offers.

It’s a testament to the general success of theIsraeli state that after returning from 10 daysthere, I am a lot more concerned with what’shappening in the rest of the Middle East.

After the heady promise of the Arab Springtwo years ago, the situation in the Middle East isnow more like the Arab Volcano — with sectari-an violence erupting in many areas and theIranian nuclear threat hovering like a dark force.Instead of unleashing the power of democracy,the Arab Spring has cooked up a lethal brew offestering hatred, economic misery and viciouspower struggles.

In contrast to that chaos, Israel feels like ClubMed.

But hidden in all the chaos is a monstrousinjustice that has received very little media atten-tion: The rampant persecution of Christians.

“Few people realize that we are today livingthrough the largest persecution of Christians inhistory,” Bruce Thornton, research fellow atStanford University’s Hoover Institution, wroteon the institute’s Web site. “Estimates of the num-bers of Christians under assault range from 100[million] to 200 million. According to one esti-mate, a Christian is martyred every five minutes.”

It’s odd prominent Christians like PresidentBarack Obama and Pope Francis have been utter-ly silent about this humanitarian tragedy.

As Kirsten Powers wrote recently in USAToday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel assert-ed late last year that “Christianity is the most per-secuted religion in the world,” while formerFrench President Nicholas Sarkozy warned in a2011 speech that “Christians face a particularlywicked program of cleansing in the Middle East,religious cleansing.”

The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg told Powers“he is shocked that American Christians aren’tregularly protesting outside of embassies drawingattention to this issue,” and he called the perse-cution of Christians in the Middle East “one ofthe most undercovered stories in internationalnews.”

One Christian who is certainly not keepingquiet is Raymond Ibrahim, a Shillman Fellow atthe David Horowitz Freedom Center and associ-ate fellow of the Middle East Forum.

In a review of Ibrahim’s new book, CrucifiedAgain: Exposing Islam’s New War On Christians,Thornton writes that Ibrahim, who is fluent inArabic: “has been tracking what he calls ‘one ofthe most dramatic stories’ of our time in thereports and witnesses that appear in Arabicnewspapers, news shows, and websites, but thatrarely get translated into English or picked up bythe Western press.”

Most of this persecution, according to thebook, is by Muslims: “Of the top 50 countriespersecuting Christians, 42 have either a Muslimmajority or have sizable Muslim populations.”

By documenting “hundreds of specificexamples from across the Muslim world,”Thornton adds, Ibrahim “shows the extent of thepersecution, and forestalls any claims that it is amarginal problem.”

Muslim attacks, Thorntonwrites: “result not just fromthe jihadists that someWesterners dismiss as ‘extremists,’ but frommobs of ordinary people, and from governmentpolicy and laws that discriminate againstChristians. … These attacks reveal a consistentideology of hatred and contempt that transcendsnational, geographical, and ethnic differences.”

The grand mufti of Saudi Arabia, for exam-ple, announced that it is “necessary to destroy allthe churches of the region,” which promptedThornton to ask, in the wake of Western silence:“Is there no limit to our tolerance of Islam?”

“Tragically,” Powers of USA Today writes:“Christians have been forced to abandon home-lands they have occupied for thousands of years.Up to two-thirds of Christians have fled Iraq inthe past ten years to escape massacres, churchburnings and constant death threats.”

According to Powers, in Iran, U.S. pastorSaeed Abedini has been sentenced to eight yearsin prison for preaching Christianity. In Egypt,Amnesty International blasted the recentlydeposed Islamic Brotherhood government for itsfailure to protect Coptic Christians from discrim-ination and violence. And in Lebanon, once amajority Christian country, the former presidentcomplained of a “genocide” against Christians.

“The future of Christians in the Middle Eastis very bleak,” Neil Hicks of Human Rights Firsttold Powers.

The world media is perfectly OK coveringMuslims killing Muslims, as is happening now inSyria. But why does it clam up when Muslimspersecute Christians? Are we afraid to appear“Islamophobic” or bring back memories of theDark Ages?

As a people who know all too well about“dark” ages, Jews should not stand idly by. Weshouldn’t shy away from unpleasant truths, justbecause the media does. Jews who believe insocial justice should shine a light on the tragicplight of persecuted Christians.

Maybe if we make some noise, the presidentand the pope will follow.

The Courier endorses the views expressed by Mr.Suissa.

Having graduated from BHHS decades ago, I returned to cam-pus recently. My memory of Beverly High was a clean and mani-cured campus, but what I saw was just the opposite.

Walkways are visibly dirty. Drinking faucets are filthy. The land-scape is a heartache with beds overgrown with dried grass and cov-ered with leaves. It is apparent that no maintenance had been giventhe campus in months.

This does not have the image of a top school, unlike when Iattended. There is an obvious problem with the maintenance staffand supervisors not doing their jobs and not performing to the stan-dards that were and still should be expected. The worst part is thissends a terrible subliminal message to the students. If the physicalenvironment of the school does not reflect respect and excellence,then this attitude has to trickle down to the students. New paint andmillions of dollars spent on cosmetics can not mask neglect andsubpar maintenance.

Unfortunately I see this same deterioration on littered SouthBeverly and throughout the City. But then of course, not on Rodeo.One street does not a city make. The standard of excellence whichmade Beverly Hills has been lost and replaced with a mentality thatbelieves all you have to do is spend enough money. I am sorry to saythat is wrong!

The deterioration of the City in general proves it and unless werecapture the attitude of excellence (which does not equate withany dollar amount) that made this city, we will certainly lose it forgood. Christine Skirmuntt Ford

******I have heard of ridiculous, outrageous suggestions but to block

auto traffic on Crescent Drive (or any other main north/south street)with “bollards” is simply outrageous and should never be consideredas a realistic possibility.

Bollards are installed in the street to be automatically raisedwhen you want to close the street to auto traffic. I hope Beverly Hills’elected officials do not consider ice skating as an important reasonto close any main street.

I feel comfortable in saying “no one ever comes to Beverly Hillsto ice skate.” Herb Wallerstein

******The reason given for (former Beverly Hills High School’s track

coach Jeff Fisher’s dismissal is that there is a need for a “change indirection.” What does that mean and how is that going to impact allthe students on the track team?

I would like to let you know of a couple ways that CoachFisher has positively affected me and my track ability. He alwaysencouraged me, whether it was giving a “high five” after I cameback from a run, encouraging me to the best I could because hebelieved in me, or just asking how I was.

There is not a day that goes by where I don't think about run-ning, and it is all because of him.

Leah Wolchin (BHHS student-athlete)******

There are two sides to mass communication. I don’t think the LosAngeles Times’ James Rainey and Martha Groves got it all right. ClifSmith is a brilliant, caring man about our City. He says it like it is,references all of it, and works hard at keeping our community wellinformed.

I’m a Beverly Hills’ girl. I grew up in this City. In the ‘50s and‘60s, this was was truly a village. Now, I feel like we’re living in aMetropolitan city. Buildings are going higher, parking is expensive,and we have some 12 hotels in a five-square mile area.

Thanks to Clif, we are updated, in depth, as to any new devel-opments. He is against the MTA subway to be built under our highschool. The last City Council had a majority vote, and they were okaywith it. I don’t know of a high school that has a subway runningunder it.

The complications and politics in this City are huge. But, now,we have “our” majority who will fight for us. Sherry Tedeschi
