Live well and thrive
Nathaniel Trives, 75, receives a radiation treatment on the Varian Linear Accelerator at Kaiser Permanente on Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles on Friday, April 30, 2010. Trives had prostate cancer surgery in 1997. Well after 13 years his PSA has risen from 0.00 to 0.24 which would be nothing if he had a Prostate Gland. But since he don't, the Urologists felt that it would be wise to take an aggressive preventative medicine approach and eradicate any possible threat of cancer in the area by use of radiation therapy. Trives therapy takes place at 7:30am five days a week through May 14, 2010, and will receive a total 39 treatments. He is a member of the Santa Monica 2010 Relay for Life Committee and the committee is putting up a link on their website urging support of him in his fight against possible recurring cancer.
Trives has dedicated his life to helping others and he has come to be known as 'Mr. Santa Monica,' a Man of Many Hats; because of the high number of roles he fills or has filled in our community from police officer to Mayor of Santa Monica to College Administrator. He currently serves on countless boards and community organizations. Nat has done it all. Nathaniel Trives is a family man, married to his childhood sweetheart Ida and father of the talented linguist, Dr. Toni Trives, professor of Spanish at Santa Monica College.
ATTACK OF THE ZOMBIES

Club participants set up colorful booths across the Library Walkway, where they discussed their activities to prospective members and attract a multitude of students with promises of food and prizes. The event turnes out new club devotees and at least a spark of interest in many others.

Rx for Love
They had planned to marry in a surprise ceremony during a backyard barbeque for family and friends at their Mar Vista home on April 24. Then fate intervened.
Beattie, who’s expecting twins, began pre-term labor and was admitted to Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center and Orthopaedic Hospital for monitored bedrest. The wedding appeared to be off.
But Beattie and DeGeorge had their April 24 wedding after all, thanks to plan B – a wedding in the hospital’s chapel. Beattie and DeGeorge exchanged vows in a brief ceremony. Beattie was wheeled on a gurney for the nuptials in front of family and friends before returning to the hospital’s Antepartum Unit for high-risk pregnancies.
Beattie wore a maternity dress that served as her wedding gown and her brother, Elliott Beattie, and sister, Betsy Kortebein, flew in from Detroit and Little Rock, Ark., respectively, to walk her down the aisle and serve as her maid of honor. Beattie jokes that her wedding party’s colors were navy blue – the color of scrubs worn by her nurses!
About 20-25 guests attended the wedding. “We counted the number of chairs in the chapel and that seemed like the most it could hold,” she quips. Among the guests were her obstetrician, Dr. Khalil Tabsh, who has ordered continued bedrest for Beattie immediately following the ceremony.
“It’s not the picture I would have painted for my wedding day,” says Beattie, a freelance prop master who was working on the “Hannah Montana” television show prior to her hospitalization. “But I still feel like I’m the luckiest woman in the world.”
Beattie is expected to remain in the hospital for the rest of her pregnancy. Her actual due date is July 26.
