School District Edges CloserTo $10 Million EndowmentBy Laura Coleman

Perhaps the best way to un-derstand what’s going on withthe $10 million endowment theBeverly Hills Unified Board ofEducation is in the process ofestablishing–on Tuesday theboard voted yes to a second

resolution authorizing the en-dowment–is how outgoing dis-trict Finance Committee ChairMel Spitz characterized it at hisfinal Finance Committee meet-ing last week: “This has been avery controversial issue.”

Trot, trot, trot. Moving rightalong. Diamonds, emeralds,rubies and sapphires. Gorgeousgems dressed in platinum andgold from David Webb, Tiffany,Cartier, Van Cleef, HarryWinston.

Late afternoon sunshinehopscotched on these blazingjewels accessorizing the best-dressed ladies during the drinkshour in the Sculpture Garden forthe debut of Wallis AnnenbergCenter for the Performing Arts.Formerly the Beverly Hills PostOffice, the Italianate-style struc-ture dates back to the early1930s, and during these past sea-sons the locals put up with thelong architectural transformationby designer Zoltan Pali.

Wallis Annenberg headsthe Annenberg Foundation, amulti-billion dollar charitybankroll, with Wallis contributingthat initial gift of $25 milliontoward the creation of her wel-comed cultural Center. She con-tinues her father’s amazing lega-cy as an ardent public benefactor.Wallis’ late mom was the beauti-ful Ronnie (Veronica)Dunkelman of Canada. A joyousspirit beloved by all.

The fun and games beganwhen donors and invitees werecalled for 6:30 PM last Thursdayto attend the gala presentation. Aweekday night? Shops still open.Restaurants already receiving

diners. Worker bees pouring outof parking lots and headinghome. Traffic was a bitch.

Greeting Variety’s PeterBart, we wondered why a lavishevent for 1,000 guests wasn’tscheduled for a Sunday nightwith its lesser traffic. Peter con-curred.

Considerable bewilder-ment surfaced with the tickets.About where to sit for the pro-gram. Upstairs? Downstairs?Quite a pickle, agreed WendyGoldberg about the confusion.(Wendy and husband Leonardflew with Jane and MarcNathanson the next morning tothe Napa Valley for Fred Rosen’s70th birthday weekend.Perfectly planned by his wifeNadine Schiff for 50 friends atthe Auberge du Soleil).

After much ado, TheCourier’s Marcia Hobbs andyours truly finally were shuffledoff to the balcony in the BramGoldsmith Theatre. The founderof City National Bank, Bram con-tributed $5 million for the nam-ing. High praise prevailed aboutthe theater’s excellent acoustics.A splendid and convenient addi-tion to our town, the theater seats499 guests. One more guest,and the unions take over.

The old Post Office is nowknown as the Paula Kent MeehanHistoric Building, in acknowl-edgement of her $5 million con-tribution. Paula, as the commu-

nity knows, is the entrpreneurialfounder of Redken Laboratoriesand an animal-welfare advocate.

Alas, the gala program wasflat. Some ballet, a violinist anda contortionist. Best of showbeing The Joint Is Jumpin’ num-ber by give-it-all-you’ve-got TerriWhite and her tap-dancingPostmen backed by a live orches-tra.

Directed by New YorkerLeonard Foglia, the performancenodded to the Post Office’s roots,themed around A Dream in anEnvelope. Featuring that classicFats Waller tune from 1935, I’mGonna Sit Right Down and WriteMyself A Letter, later immortal-ized by dozens of artists from Nat“King” Cole to Paul McCartney.

John Lithgow read a WillRogers letter, Kevin Spacey andothers recited wordy correspon-dence from Groucho Marx, PeterTchaikovsky, Tennessee Williamsand Martha Graham. All ofwhich should have been editedto a couple of paragraphs (wecome from the School of Edit).Martha Graham’s modern dancetroupe formally opens the theateron November 8th.

Presented by the SalvatoreFerragamo family, the galawarmed to Ferrucio Ferragamo’seloquent address about hisfather’s love of Hollywood.Custom-cobbling shoes, asSalvatore did, at his 6687Hollywood Boulevard atelier(now the Hollywood CubanBistro). Pola Negri favored hiswhite satin court shoes, otherFerragamo loyalists includedMary Pickford, DouglasFairbanks Sr., Joan Crawford,Garbo, Rudolph Valentino,Gregory Peck, Audrey Hepburn,Marilyn Monroe, Rita Hayworth,the Queen of Romania.

Arriving with Ferrruciofrom Milan was the label’s cre-ative director MassimilianoGiornetti, his arm broken by ahit-and-run biker in Italy. Thosemeeting Massimiliano, whoorchestrated the fashion show,mentioned his fascination withthe art and architecture of LosAngeles.

Co-chairs Brad Pittand Robert Redford didnot attend and were notmissed, with the evening’sother co-chairs beingJamie Tisch and WallisAnnenberg. The Center’sboard chairman JerryMagnin spoke with fervorabout the need for contin-uing support for this newlyacclaimed landmarkdevoted to the disciplinesof the arts. Beverly HillsMayor John Mirisch salut-ed the Center with hisdrink.

Dining at the rightof Wallis Annenberg wasproducer ArnoldKopelson. Rounding outher table were Anne

he was publishing Good Food,with our serving as the wine edi-tor. Midway through oneSunnylands dinner, we discussedPresident Nixon’s 1972 forth-coming “breakthrough” meetingin China. Walter asked for sug-gestions about a suitable gift forthe President to bring to theChairman of the People’sRepublic of China. This wouldbe the first newsmaker visit by anAmerican president since Chinaembraced Communism in 1949.

“Why not a case or twoof one of our finest Californiawines?” we replied to Walter’squestion. Mighty impressed we’dbeen with what winemakers Jackand Jamie Davies, (formerPasadena folks, if you will) werecreating in the Napa Valley withtheir elegant Schramsberg cham-pagne (referred to now assparkling wine for numerous rea-sons). Openly curious, Walterphoned the nearby wine store toimmediately deliver bottles of theSchramsberg wine.

Walter was bowled over.

President Nixon picked upon the recommendation, andafter the ceremonial dinner inBeijing, major newspapers head-lined the excitement aboutCalifornia wines coming toChina. Photographs of thePresident and Chairman MaoZedong toasting each other withour Schramsberg bubblyappeared on front pages aroundthe world. Were French wine-makers envious? Take a guess.

Jack and Jamie Daviesphoned. Expressing proud disbe-lief that this good fortune wasbestowed on them. The suddenglobal demand for Schramsbergoverwhelmingly exceeded theirlimited and controlled produc-tion. How did this happen?

Hats off to AmbassadorWalter. He did it.

Kopelson, Charlize Theron, whoappeared in Arnold’s film TheDevil’s Advocate, Charlize’smom Gerta, Sherry Lansing andBilly Friedkin, Chris Levine, TimRobbins, Kevin Spacey. Is it truethat a private cocktail party con-tained the celebrity contingent,who most of us missed? Andthat Judy Levy arranged the seat-ing, which had its yeas and nays.

We dined with the philan-thropic Renee Kumetz, whoowns the Hotel Carmel in SantaMonica. Daughters LindaWaxman and Nancy Lee were ather table with husbands RobertWaxman, the attorney and JohnLee, the opthamologist who prac-tices in Beverly Hills. Joiningthem was Kay Kimberly Siegel.

Catered by Wolfgang Puck,the filet mignon dinner was a hitwith Courier publisher Clif Smithand wife Candace, finding it“juicy and tender and with theright amount of fire.”

Days afterward, Wolfgangand Gelila Puck co-hosted aSpago dinner with model NaomiCampbell honoring Vogue Italia’seditor Franca Sozzani and bene-fiting African charities. Wolf’slately purchased AnthonyPritzker’s gated Holmby Hillsestate for $14 million, accordingto L.A. Times’ Lauren Beale,describing it as a 1938 villa witheight bedrooms and 11 bath-rooms.

Chatting with GeoffCowan and his politico wifeAileen, now among Mayor EricGarcetti’s team of doers, Geoffinvited us for an upcoming eventat Sunnylands, the WalterAnnenberg “duchy” in RanchoMirage. Geoff presides over theSunnylands Foundation Trust,and we recalled being privilegedto dine, on occasion and withfondest memories, at Sunnylandswith Wallis and family.

averred that it was definitely the betterevening. Indeed, an intimate performance byGrammy-winning Natalie Cole, whose soul-ful tunes carried just as beautifully to those inthe back corners of the partially subterraneantheatre as they did to those front and center.

The unsung heroes of both nights werecertainly the donors–the more generous beingPaula Kent Meehan whose $5 million dona-tion kick-started the renovation of the historic1933 Beverly Hills post office. The Wallis an-chor now boasts the 150-seat Lovelace The-atre and myriad components, and the Gold-smiths’ equally generous gift, –all permanent-ly etched into The Wallis’ fabric with buildingsthat now bear their names. But, also importantwere the scores of donors who gave in excessof $100,000 and those who gave what theycould to make this dream a reality.

“Great places like The Wallis do not get

built today without generous donors like Wal-lis Annenberg, Elaine and Bram Goldsmith,Paula Kent Meehan and the 100-plus othercommunity minded individuals who providedthe funds to build it,” said Chairman of theBoard Jerry Magnin. “Unfortunately, mostcities today cannot afford to finance projectslike The Wallis so it is incumbent on private cit-izens and foundations to provide the support.In Beverly Hills, we are blessed to have thatsupport.”

“The Annenberg Center for the Perform-ing Arts is in many ways transformative for ourCity,” Mayor John Mirisch told The Courier,noting that The Wallis expands the meaning ofculture in Beverly Hills. “From the beginning,our City has been at the center of the movie in-dustry. Now hopefully we’ll also lead the wayin the performing arts.”

When the Martha Graham Dance Com-pany kicks off The Wallis’ inaugural season onNov. 8, it will certainly be just the beginningfor Beverly Hills’ only performing arts venue.

Genetic Mutation Linked To Alzheimer’s DoublesRate Of Brain Tissue Loss, USC Study Shows

People who carry a genetic mutationassociated with Alzheimer’s disease maydevelop the disease three years earlierthan expected, according to a new studyfrom Keck Medicine of USC.

Scientists at the university's KeckSchool of Medicine have mapped theeffects of that genetic mutation, showingfor the first time how the Alzheimer’s riskfactor affects the living human brain.

The discovery was detailed in lastweek’s edition of The New EnglandJournal Of Medicine alongside five otherstudies focused on the TREM2 gene vari-ant, whose link to Alzheimer’s was firstreported in January.

“Our lab studies the rate of brain tis-sue loss in elderly people, trying to dis-cover factors that protect you as youage,” said Paul M. Thompson, Ph.D.,USC professor of neurology, psychiatry,engineering, radiology and ophthalmol-ogy and the study’s principal investiga-tor. “We have never seen such a dramat-ic effect as with this genetic variant. Ifyou carry this genetic mutation, we’vefound that there is this wildfire of tissueloss in the brain.”

Healthy people typically lose lessthan 1 percent of their brain tissue ayear, offset by normal tissue generationfrom mental stimulation, Thompson said.Symptoms of Alzheimer’s begin to mani-fest when approximately 10 percent ofthe brain’s tissue has eroded away.

“This is the first study to use brainscans to show what this gene variantdoes, and it’s very surprising,” Thompsonsaid. “This gene speeds up brain loss at aterrific pace. Carriers of this geneticmutation, who comprise about 1 percentof the population, lose about 3 percentof their brain tissue per year. This is a

silent time bomb in 1 percent of theworld.”

Thompson and colleagues com-pared brain magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) scans of 478 adults (average age76 years old) participating in theAlzheimer’s Disease NeurimagingInitiative over two years.

The group included 283 men and195 women from across North America;100 participants had Alzheimer’s dis-ease, 221 had mild cognitive impair-ment and 157 were healthy elderlyadults.

Keck researchers found that muta-tion carriers lost 1.4 percent to 3.3 per-cent more of their brain tissue than non-carriers, and twice as fast. The lossappears to be concentrated in the brain’stemporal lobe and hippocampus, areasthat play important roles in memory.

“This TREM2 mutation appears tomultiply the risk of Alzheimer’s by threeor four times, which is very useful infor-mation. Enrolling those people whocarry the mutation in clinical trials forAlzheimer’s treatments could help usreach quicker and more meaningfulresults,” Thompson said.

Reagan MedicalCenter HonoredFor Heart Care

Ronald Reagan UCLAMedical Center has received the“Get With The Guidelines–Heart Failure Gold QualityAchievement” award from theAmerican Heart Association.The recognition signifies thehospital has reached a goal oftreating heart-failure patientsaccording to guidelines of carerecommended by the AmericanHeart Association/AmericanCollege of Cardiology.

Millionaire Finds Love? Making Time For RomanceQ: I am a 63-year-old million-aire who just went through aterrible divorce. The kids aregrown and in college. My exfought me over everything.Horrible. I have met and fallenin love with a 34-year-oldsaleswoman in a departmentstore. My kids think she’s aftermy money. I think this is thereal thing. Please share yourthoughts. Rick G.

A: Dear Rick: Go for it! Just besure to get a prenuptial agree-ment. If she genuinely lovesyou and cares about your well-being, she will consent.

A recent survey found that83 percent of divorced malemillionaires want to re-marryversus just 32 percent forfemale millionaires.

I treat many stratospheri-cally wealthy people in my90210 private practice. I findit’s much harder for divorcedmales to be alone than forfemales. Males have a toughertime dealing with the loneli-ness. It makes perfect sense thatmen want to re-marry and assoon as they can find the rightcandidate.

Women, on the other hand,who have been burned by acontentious divorce are moresqueamish to get back on thehorse again.

A survey by AmericanAcademy of MatrimonialLawyers which found that 63

percent of divorce attorneysfound an increase in pre-nupsover the last three years may berelated to the first survey find-ings.

The survey also found thatmillionaire men are also morelikely to date someone who’snot as wealthy, while womenprefer to date their financialequal. A woman’s ego cannotbear or tolerate a man using herfor her money. She needs toknow she is loved for who sheis inside—rich or poor—flawsand all.

Men just assume thatmoney is part of what womenwant. Their egos are less tied upin her expectations of money.No question that people, bothmen and women, who havesuffered the financial cost ofdivorce once do not want to gothrough it again. “Fool meonce, shame on you; fool metwice, shame on me.”

Q: Dear Dr. Fran: My wife andI have two children ages 4 and7. The other night we got intobed and I reached out to offerher a back rub. She knew it was

my way of initiating sex. I real-ized that it had been threeweeks since we last had sex.Exhausted, she turned towardme and responded. I ended upfeeling guilty because I knowhow tired she is. Do you thinkI should feel bad? Leo V.

A: Dear Leo: You sound like agreat guy and compassionatehusband. When it comes tofeelings there are no should’sand should-not’s.

When it comes to sex, youand she should be getting itmore than once every threeweeks. Young parents today areoverly-tired and living with thesecret that they feel stuck insexless marriages.

Your wife sounds like awilling participant. You mayneed to schedule your ren-dezvous to have it more regu-larly. I treat a fabulous youngcouple where the husbandcomes home on his lunch breakand the kids are in school tomutually satisfy each other.

Chat with your wife to cre-ate a plan that works for both ofyou. When you have youngkids, sometimes planning sexworks better than waiting forthat spontaneous moment.

installation of the new equip-ment can begin after the lastsoccer game on Dec. 1, andbe ready for play by mid-March of next year to coincidewith the planned completionof the new Community Center.

Commissioners reviewedfive different parks on a bustour Sept. 26 so they were ableto actually see the equipmentin use and situated in theparks, as opposed to choosingthe equipment from a cata-logue.

The commission selectedan equipment company, Kom-pan, and selected units fortwo play areas, one for 2-5year-olds and one for 5-12year-olds, with a non-tradi-tional element, slides andclimbing structures. The Kom-pan designs are visually ex-pansive units with designmodifications that are forward-looking.

Commissioner SimoneFriedman wanted to incorpo-rate the existing swings. “Yes,If there is any way they can berefurbished,” said Parks andUrban Forest Manager KenPfalzgraf.

“Choosing the right play-ground equipment for Rox-bury is a very important deci-sion and I am pleased to seethe commission give it thetime and consideration that itneeds. We have had severalcommission and council liai-son committee meetings thatfocus on the equipment,which have been open to thepublic. We still have a few fi-nal decisions to make aboutthe equipment, which will bediscussed in an upcoming CityCouncil liaison meeting,” saidPfalzgraf.

The Recreation and ParksCommission also discussedthe possibility of having a dogpark. In an ad hoc meetingwith Commissioner FrancesBilak and Simone Friedmanand Community Services De-partment Director Steve Zoet,said Bilak, they reviewed pos-sible locations for a dog park.

“We recognize that thereis an ongoing community in-terest in creating a dog parksomewhere in Beverly Hills.Staff will continue to look forthe perfect location that meetsall of the needs of a dog parkand that also has support fromthe community, including thenearby neighbors. We are notcurrently considering Roxburyas a location, partly because ofthe ongoing construction andpartly because when we vettedthat location to the communi-ty last year, there was notenough support,” said ThereseKosterman, public informationManager for the City of Bever-ly Hills.

Dean McClure is seeing hisdream come true, much likehis hero Walt Disney.

His new musical, WhenYou Wish: The Story Of WaltDisney is now having its worldpremiere at UCLA’s Freud Play-house.

With a cast of 20, and anonstage orchestra, the storytakes Disney from a young boyin Kansas, focuses on his rela-tionship with his brother Roy,and culminates with the open-ing of Disneyland.

Though When You Wish isMcClure’s first musical, it’s nothis first songwriting. His friendand longtime resident PatBoone recorded and sings inhis shows, McClure’s The ManOn The Road.

When McClure invitedBoone to an early reading, hewent and “was just enchanted.I love how it brings the story tothe stage. It was the most com-mercial and classy music, it re-minds me of The Music Man orgreat Broadway hits that ranand ran,” Boone says. And hesigned on as a producer.

The score has wistful lovesongs, Boone appreciates; and“a masterful” song that cap-tures the headbutting betweenWalt and Roy. “Roy is saying

something is too expensive(like the $1.4 million for SnowWhite) and there’s no convinc-ing Walt not to fulfill hisdream.”

Now that the show’s run-ning, Boone feels “like a prouduncle,” he says. I’m proud ofDean and my involvement. Iknow I and some accom-plished singers will want wantto record songs from this.”

Performances, throughNov. 3, are Wednesdaysthrough Fridays at 8 p.m., Sat-urdays at 2 and 8 p.m. andSundays at 2 p.m. Tickets are$65 and may be purchasedthrough the UCLA Central Tick-et Office at 310-825-2101 or athttp://www.ticketmaster.com/W h e n - Y o u - W i s h -tickets/artist/1909696.—SteveSimmons

on the lower side. Many ofthe residents were older ordisabled and on fixed in-comes. The 10 percent in-crease was hard, but theystayed, with the expectationthat some deferred mainte-nance would improve theirstandard of living.

The new owners, agroup of buyers, began acosmetic face-lift on thebuilding. “I needed to fill va-cancies,” explained MikeSeltzer part owner, of Bever-ly Hills Apartments, LLCwith co-owner, Rohit Mehta,owner of Xenon InvestmentsCorp.

Inside the apartments,residents’ complaints in-cluded leaking plumbing,electrical problems andfaulty air conditioning. Thecomplaints said one resident(who asked to remain anony-mous – we will call her Sal-ly) were not being ad-dressed.

“We did not even knowwhere to send our rentchecks,” she lamented. Af-flicted with severe arthritis,she lives on disability. “Wedidn’t know who to com-plain to.”

On Nov. 1, 2012, thenew owners again raised therent ten percent. Withoutany substantive improve-ment in the standards of liv-ing, the building’s owners

VIOLATION(Continued from page 4)

had increased rents by 20percent.

Sally called the City codeviolations and received littlehelp. Then, this past summer,Los Angeles experienced aheat wave. The building’s airconditioning failed. One eld-erly resident was hospital-ized from the effects of heat.Temperatures inside thebuilding climbed into the90’s.

“I went to the top,” saidSally. She began to dialcouncilmembers. Shereached CouncilmemberNancy Krasne.

Krasne visited the build-ing. “It was 90 degrees in thelobby,” she said. She turnedto Nestor Otazu, code en-forcement manager for theCity’s Planning Department.As temperatures climbed,Councilmember Krasne tookaction. She took severalrooms at the Beverly Hiltonat her own expense and relo-cated at-risk residents to thehotel for relief from the heat.

At the Sept. 10 CityCouncil meeting, Krasne re-quested an inquiry into thelegal rights of tenants as itconcerned their air condi-tioning as an amenity. Thenon Sept. 24 several of thebuilding’s residents com-plaints were heard at the citycouncil meeting. The build-ing was not being properlymaintained.

Some of the residentshad been living in the apart-ments for decades. One cou-ple, 95 and 97 years of age,had lived 38 years in thatapartment.

“We are afraid of beingevicted in retaliation forcomplaints,” said Sally.

“My job is to protect res-idents. I’m their spokesman. Ithink it’s unbelievable,” saidCouncilmember NancyKrasne.

”Their numbers are real

huge,” she said, referring tothe rents. “When you got a95- and a 97-year-old, themove alone could kill them.”

Code inspectors verifiedthe inoperable air condition-ing units. They met withMike Seltzer and discussedcompliance issues.

The owner declared theunits repaired and the cityre-inspected, only to find thebuilding in violation. Theywere issued a violation andgiven 48-hours to comply.

The owners purchasedfour similar units from thesame seller, located at 330and 350 N. Crescent Dr., 415N. Oakhurst Dr. and 231 N.La Peer. Residents at 330 N.Crescent Dr. declined tospeak on record, but Seltzeradmitted that there was a“high turnover rate,” at thebuilding. “We did raise rents.We raised them very aggres-sively,” he admitted. “Butcertain accusations havebeen made and they arecompletely false,” he said.

City staff found little orno air conditioning. Of the44 units, 31 were found tohave “non-critical” repair de-ficiencies, including torncarpet, inadequate waterflow, slow draining sewerlines and mildew or mold inshowers. The LA CountyHealth Department was noti-fied and a Notice to Complywas issued from the CityProsecutor.

A meeting between theowners, CouncilmemberKrasne and the City Staff isbeing arranged. The City hasordered a full building in-spection at 330 N. CrescentDr. next week.

As Nov. 1 approaches,residents fear that the ownerswill once again raise theirrents ten percent.

“I don't know what I amgoing to do,” said Seltzer.

Ever since boardmemberBrian Goldberg made a“friendly amendment” to es-tablish a $10 million en-dowment in perpetuity forthe benefit of Beverly Hillsschools in June, just beforethe board unanimously vot-ed to approve the $56 mil-lion 2013/14 adopted budg-et with a positive certifica-tion, the community hasbeen wondering just howthe district has the money todo such a thing.

“It’s not suddenly there’s$10 million,” Goldberg ex-plained. Rather, it’s a conflu-ence of assessed propertyvalues going up (as a BasicAid district the BHUSD de-rives substantial revenuefrom property taxes); rollingin the district’s basic aid re-serve; money from the pas-sage of Prop 30; and a re-duction in overhead.

The endowment, hesaid, would be critical notonly in generating revenuefrom the interest, but also inallowing the district to bor-row money from itself, asopposed to having to takeout loans from L. A. County’sOffice of Education, which itdoes roughly two to threetimes a year to the tune of$10 million.

“We have an apparatushere in Beverly Hills...to dosomething that is special;certainly unique in this dis-trict,” said Goldberg, whotold The Courier he has beenadvocating for the creationof such an endowment for

the length of his six years onthe board.

“By doing this todaywe’re ensuring that tomor-row is going to be better,” headded.

Still, there’s nothing toprevent future boards fromdismantling any endowmentthis board establishes. AndGoldberg’s attempt to tie upthe endowment by linking itto bond sales gained no sup-port on Tuesday.

Last week, boardmem-ber Lewis Hall–the onlymember not in attendancefor Tuesday’s 4-0 vote on thesecond resolution authoriz-ing and establishing the en-dowment fund–said he wasuncomfortable with the en-tire notion and had only vot-ed yes initially in June be-cause it was tacked on topassing the budget.

Still, the board majorityappears to be united in thebelief that if maintainedproperly the endowmentwill provide BHUSD finan-cial security.

According to boardPresident Jake Manaster,within five years there willbe a “windfall” from howthe money is invested.

“We have an enormousopportunity here, and it canonly get better,” he said.

And there are still a fewhoops to jump through.

Even before it’s been es-tablished, SuperintendentGary Woods said the unionsare jockeying for a piece ofthe pie, referencing a letterBeverly Hills Education As-sociation sent wanting to ne-gotiate with the district.

Although most of the world views the greater Palm Springsarea as a resort destination renown for its numerous golf courses,that number is surpassed by the various not-for-profit charitableorganizations which provide a wide range of services to enhancethe quality of life for Coachella Valley residents.

While some of the entities are affiliated with national organi-zations, Valley residents have preferred to support their own; or-ganizations such as the Stroke Recovery Center, which in its 36years of existence, has developed the nation’s only free, compre-hensive multi-disciplinary rehabilitation program to provide sur-vivors of stroke and traumatic brain injury rehabilitation for long-term recovery. At the center, easy access is provided to skilledstroke rehabilitation care specialists and appropriate, evidence-based therapies to help improve chances of recovery.

The Stroke Recovery Center offers individually specialized re-covery programs to help patients return to meaningful roles in lifeby relearning skills for everyday living. Family is not forgotten inthe rehabilitation process. They are provided with personalizedstroke education and a strategy to help prevent future strokes withall services rendered without charge.

New on the horizon in 2014 is a state-of-the-art exercise cen-ter. The $250,000, 2,000 square-foot facility is made possible en-tirely by private donors, half of whom are patients or family mem-bers of patients. It will feature an outside garden area with a quar-ter-mile meandering exercise track and a shaded area for outdoorexercise including Pilates, yoga, tai chi and - this being PalmSprings - putting greens.

To help pay for a portion of its ongoing activities, the StrokeActivity Center has two upcoming fundraisers.

Presented by the Stroke Activity Center Auxiliary, the firstevent to be held tomorrow Saturday is “truly for the birds, ” host-ed by Lindi and Gino Biggi at the Biggi Bird Gardens. Lindi, theDesert’s premier animal activist, calls herself a “practicing bird-aholic,” as the pampered assortment of birds in the her gardencolorfully attest.

The second major event is the Winter Wonderland Ball, a 34-year-old tradition, to be held Nov. 23 at the Westin Mission HillsResort & Spa. Co-chaired by Desert philanthropists Lee Appel andHarold Matzner, the black-tie event will honor Harvey (formermayor and councilman of Rancho Mirage) and Angie Gerber(board member of various non-profits), Donna MacMillian (busi-nesswoman, art connoisseur and patron) and Dr. Javed Siddiqi, anationally known neurosurgeon instrumental in building the mostcomprehensive neurosurgery, neurology and stroke team in theValley based at Desert Regional Medical Center.

However, for smart shoppers, the Stroke Recovery Center hasbeen, and continues to be, the home of Jackie Lee’s Thrift Shop,established before her death by the “queen of Coachella Valley”philanthropy: Jackie Lee Houston. Here you will find gentlyloved, high-end clothes and an ever-changing assortment of treas-ures at low-end prices.

Information on SRC’s events is available at 760-323-7676.

Memories can besweet and bitter but be-ing able to look back isthe best revenge. RobertClary wrote his bookFrom The Holocaust To Hogan’s Heroes (TaylorTrade $16.95) awhile back, but the story of hisrelatives had not been told until now. His sisterNicole’s story has been written by her daughterBrenda Hancock entitled Nicole Holland OneOf The Lucky Ones (Hanover House $15.95)

Nicole was working for Dr. Albert, aCatholic, who warned her the Nazis were round-ing up Jews in Paris and that she shouldn’t gohome that night. With her cousins she joinedthem to flee Paris and go to unoccupied France.She had the birth papers of a Catholic girl. Theymade sure there were no yellow stars on theirclothes or “Juif” on their identification papers.

Nicole claimed she had lost her papers buthad a birth certificate and was given temporarypapers. This allowed her to move to Marseillewhere she became a messenger for the FrenchUnderground. From there she was assigned toAgen where she lived in a Catholic dormitory.There are photos of her and the girls who becameher friends.

At the end of the war, she returned to Paris,not expecting to see any of her family still alive.Robert Clary told me of his return to Paris from

Buchenwald, when he heard avoice crying out “Robert” and itwas Nicole. The book docu-ments her meeting and marry-ing Bruce Holland, an Ameri-

can soldier from Texas. They returned to that state wheretheir daughters, Barbara and Brenda were born. Nicoleis still living there and every Sunday, she and her broth-er Robert Clary talk. When I asked Robert if he usesSkype, where he could see her he laughed and said hedidn’t have a computer and he still preferred the tele-phone.

******The book that really brings back memories is

Leonard Maltin's 2014 Movie Guide: The Modern Era(Plume $25). Each year the book gets bigger. This time itis 1,644 pages. Lets face it, the first thing one looks forare the films a relative made. When I talked withLeonard last year on 2013 Movie Guide he told me thatthe book was getting so large that he has divided somefilms into “Classic Movie Guide.”

Over and above just listing and capsule reviews,the book has over 25,000 DVD and video listings and alist of mail order houses. Leonard writes and publishesan interview letter where one of his subjects was LeslieMartinson.

In Torn, a terrorist bomb ex-plodes in a shopping mall killing10 people. Two mothers whosesons have died in the explosion,one an émigré from Pakistan, theother born here, meet and form abond each comforting the other.

When the police announcethe Pakistani boy is singled out asthe possible culprit, a strained re-lationship develops between sin-gle mother Lea (Dendrie Taylor)who works for a cleaning serviceand Maryam (Mahnoor Baloch),a real estate agent. Lea breaks offher relationship with Maryam ac-cusing her Mosque-going son ofkilling her only child. After aninquiry it is discovered that Lea’sson had an equally warped rea-son for the bombing and is nowsuspect as well.

The film powerfully exam-ines the reactions of Maryam andLea, as they both adamantly re-

fuse to believe that their respec-tive son is guilty. However, theymust face the ongoing distrust wehave developed after 9/11. Thecommunity– due to our manyschool killings and terrorist activ-ities the past few years–turnagainst them without proof thateither one is responsible.

Maryam’s husband (FaranTahir) who was rounded up withother foreign ‘elements’ after9/11 and later found innocent,passionately decries the injusticein this country and tells his wifehe would prefer living the life ofa poor rice farmer in his nativeland.

The acting is excellent anddirector Jeremiah Birnbaum andwriter Michael Richter do a re-markable job bringing this under$500,000 film to an uncomfort-able reality concerning profilingand the way we Americans arestarting to allow terrorists to moldour lives.

Torn, which opens today, isnot for everyone but if you are

civic minded and open, you willbe enveloped with the power andintensity of each scene.

Counselor, a far more ex-pensive film opens today as welland sports marquee names suchas Michael Fassbender, JavierBardem, Penelope Cruze, BradPitt and Cameron Diaz.

Ridley Scott’s direction ispowerful as always with lots ofgratuitous blood squirting allover the screen, though I foundthe screenplay a bit convolutedand hard to follow. Cormac Mc-Carthy, who received a PulitzerPrize for his novel, No CountryFor Old Men, is credited as thewriter–his first attempt at screen-writing. Perhaps his initial effortshould have been a smaller filmwith unknown actors.

YOUR ‘GOOD INTENTIONS’ ARE KILLING OUR COUNTRYLiberals, including our dearest friends here in Beverly Hills, are getting what they wished for

– a national government imposing state control on virtually all aspects of our lives in the name of“equality.” The “good intentions” have taken over and the mess we see is exactly what we saidwould happen.

For the supposed sake of, at most, 30 million uninsured people in this country, the entirenation is facing a breakdown of our entire healthcare system. Obamacare is a fiasco and will notget better. If it does “improve,” all that means is that none of us will get the healthcare we nowhave.

Remember, not one single Republican in Congress – House or Senate – voted for it. This is100 percent the creation of the Obama/Reid team. We witness daily horror stories of the website,of hundreds of thousands of Americans losing their healthcare, of massive rate hikes all across thecountry.

Every red flag, every warning, every trap exposed by Republicans is now showing up. TheRepublicans were right and every single Democrat was wrong. That is an absolute, proven fact.The Democrats used this supposed “uninsured population” as a smokescreen to capture 1/6th ofthe nation’s economy. For what it costs, the federal government could simply have just paid foreach of these supposed “30 million” to buy a decent Blue Cross policy, created a “preexisting con-ditions” re-insurance pool, and be done with it. Liberals – are you happy now? They parlayedyour “guilt trip” into a giant hole that only promises to get deeper.

“Obamacare” is exposed daily as a fraud and a fake. It is nothing more than a massive powergrab that will kill our nation’s economy and our own people by denying healthcare (except forCongress and government workers who have exempted themselves). Look at where the nation’smoney has gone in the attempt to implement this – over $1 billion to computer programmers con-nected to the Democrat Party as big contributors. Consultants, “experts,” communications people– all being paid to hawk this mess.

Have we forgotten how bad the cars of General Motors were despite hundreds of millions ofdollars of advertising? A lemon is a lemon is a lemon, no matter how fancy the packaging.

This is “good intentions” in action.And . . . no matter what happens it’s the Republicans’ fault. So, anything they support is auto-

matically bad and anything they oppose is automatically good. Since they oppose Obamacare,Obamacare must be good goes the argument. For those controlled by “good intentions,” that’senough to end the argument.

For those of us with Democrat parents – centrist Democrats – we know the difference betweenlegitimate concern for the welfare of others and a phony “concern” that is used to take away ourfreedoms, to spy on us, to take our property and the fruits of our own labors. Liberals – you’re get-ting faked out by your own guys. The “faking out” is getting worse as the Obama/Reid adminis-tration now uses the “shutdown” (which really shut down nothing except what Obama chose toshut down) as an excuse for their own failings. Given their huge Twitter and Facebook and othersocial media machine, they will likely get the younger generation and the “hand out” recipients tobelieve it.

The federal government shutdown was a fiasco. That’s a universal opinion. Opinion is notuniversal on assigning “fault,” but the Democrat propaganda machine has assigned fault to –guess who? – the Republicans. All they did was authorize 100 percent of government operationsminus Obamacare. Good for them. They were elected to do just that. What about thePresident?

A responsible President with true feelings for the American people would have used his exec-utive powers to keep open our national monuments, to honor veterans many of whom will not bealive next year, and make sure that those who protect us are treated properly. Don’t forget, it isPresident Obama who closed the White House to tours by the American people. That’s neverbeen done before, but he did it. His “shutdown” response gave us photos of 80- and 90-year-oldvets arrested in Washington for trying to see “their” monument. We saw vets tear down barriersand dump them at the fence around the White House. We see U.S. National Park Service mount-ed troopers threatening innocent tourists while they shut down private businesses operating innational parks.

If the mainstream media were honest about this, they would be giving us photos and refer-ences to police state tactics. Short of shooting the vets and tourists and beating them up, it is hardto distinguish the photos of last week from police attacks on anti-Vietnam war protesters at suchplaces as Kent State and the Democratic National Convention in 1968 in Chicago. The vets wentquietly into the police vans unlike the students in the ‘60’s, but the police arrested them all for legit-imate exercises in free speech. That is 100 percent the responsibility and doing of PresidentObama. This is just a taste of what is happening to us – dissent, question, disagree and you getthe police and the IRS on you.

The President and the Democrats refused to give one inch to acknowledge that Obamacare isa complete disaster – rejected by the people, rejected by the states. Everyone with a free choicehas said “no.” Our Congress previously made big mistakes like Prohibition and the punitive tar-iffs that brought on the Great Depression. Those actually were the fault of Republicans – the1920’s Republicans pushed for and got both. Disaster followed and the country kicked out theRepublicans. The 2009-2013 Democrats are the sole authors of Obamacare. It is the same kindof big mistake. Like Prohibition and the Great Depression-causing tariffs, Obamacare should berepealed and the Democrats kicked out with it.

Oh, well. Don’t bother. It’s the intentions that count. Right?

What a week! Four out of the six Nobel Prize recipients wereJews, in fact two of them are Israelis! As always, in the glory ofthe prize, there is a flaw. One of the recipients has a hobby andthat is to dislike, demonize and create animosity against the JewishState of Israel. In fact, he has been a voice on intellectual divest-ment from Israel. How does this fool feel now? We can ask him,although most likely he is hiding his hide.

This Nobel prize winner is not unique in demonizing thisamazing Jewish State of Israel. There are governments that do thesame, media outlets, newspapers as well as groups of people(including Jews) who form various divestment groups.

Well, I guess this is another great moment to divest from allthe knowledge that the Jews are adding to the brain data base.Sufficient to say that over 22 percent of Nobel Peace Prize laure-ates are from a total Jewish world population of 14 million. This isincredible, maybe after all, the Jews in fact are the “chosen peo-ple”!

There is another movement trying to convince the non-thinkers that ritual male circumcision (of course referring to theJewish one) performed under the age of 18 violates human rights.I don’t understand how they came up with that theory consideringthe actual and very real human right violations are occurringright now to people around the world... Syria, Africa, North Korea,etc.

What I surmise from the statistics above is that ritual Jewishcircumcision must alert the brain cells to make you alert, smarterand a better human being. Pablo Nankin, MD
