NATIONAL OBITUARY Walter Oppenheimer The Oppenheimers collected LOS ANGELES (AP) Walter art by Georges Braque, Oppenheimer, an art collector and philanthropist who co-founded Helga, a line of women's special-occasion clothing, has died. He was 92. Oppenheimer died Aug. 1 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center from complications from a heart condition, his brother Peer said. With his wife as the designer of suits, dresses and evening clothes sold in specialty stores, Oppenheimer launched Helga Inc.

in 1947. He managed the business until the couple sold it in 1986. "Walter was of a different stripe. He was very courtly," said Sylvia Sheppard, West Coast fashion editor for Women's Wear Daily in the 1950s. "The rest of the Los Angeles market was full of aggressive young people.

Walter and Helga were more traditional." TV icon Merv Griffin dead at 82 By KAKIE URCH, BRUCE FESSIER and ERICA SOLVIG The (Palm Springs, Calif.) Desert Sun Merv Griffin, the entertainment mogul, singer, talk-show host, horseman, and creator of "Jeopardy!" and "Wheel of Fortune" died Sunday after a bout with a recurrence of cancer. Spokeswoman Marcia Newberger confirmed Griffin's death in a statement issued Sunday morning. Griffin, 82, was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles in mid-July after a recurrence of the prostate can- GRIFFIN cer he battled in 1996. It was found during a routine examination. After an initial upbeat news release confirming that the star was battling cancer, there was no further word from the Griffin camp until Sunday.

The Emmy-winning creator of "Jeopardy!" "Wheel of Fortune" and the host of the iconic "The Merv Griffin Show" talk program kept a 250-acre ranch in La Quinta, Calif. He fell in love with the desert after visiting Johnny Carson in 1986 to see Jimmy Connors play tennis. Jack Jones, the noted vocalist and desert resident, mourned Griffin's death. He was "not only a good friend and compassionate man for so many people and SO many causes, but also one of the finest interviewers who ever hit television. He listens," Jones said.

"So many talk show hosts don't listen. But that was the key to his success. He listened to everything every guest had to say." Locally, Griffin was an active desert resident who was a supporter of the La Quinta Arts Festival, the owner of the Merv Griffin Givenchy Resort Spa in Palm Springs, Calif. and most recently, the developer of an upscale horse community on a section of his The following people were convicted in Licking County Municipal Court on the listed charges and fined as listed the weeks of July 23 and 30.

Nolen, James E. 38, 1258 Actress Kaye Ballard, who lives in Rancho Mirage, said Griffin never changed in the 57 years she knew him. "He's an icon, really, as far as television is concerned," she said, adding, "He was always the same.

He never changed with all his wealth and all his success. He was just as great now as he was then. That's saying a lot." As a savvy producer who made megamillions, Griffin's "impact is huge," said Kevin Belinkoff, vice-president of production for the Game Show Network. "If you look at 'Wheel of Fortune' and those are the two most successful shows in syndication." Though he moved to the desert at age 61, Griffin vowed to never retire and he never did. "Retirement is death.

I do not want to check into a house on a golf course," he told The Desert Sun. He planned a big horse farm and kept producing TV ideas and making real estate deals. As a horseman, he was well-respected at racetracks throughout the nation. He owned Stevie Wonderboy, which earned a Breeder's Cup Juvenile win and an Eclipse Horse of the Year award before injury forced the horse to stud in Kentucky. He was a frequent sight on Millionaire's Row at the Kentucky Derby.

Mervyn Edward Griffin was born in San Mateo, on July 6, 1925. He got an early singing job on nationally syndicated KFRC in San Francisco in 1944, later joining Freddie Martin Big Band, one of the era's top swing ensembles. recorded, "I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts," which would become his signature song, in 1950. Griffin married Julann Wright in 1958 and had a son, Anthony Patrick. He and Wright divorced in 1976.

In 1986, Griffin sold his Merv Griffin Enterprises to Columbia Pictures Entertain- GRIFFIN MUNICIPAL COURT REPORT COURT REPORT ment for a then-astounding figure of $250 million, making him one of the richest men in show business. He then continued to run it. The sale put him in a rare position. "You're presented with every possibility in the world," he said in 1987. "You could go mad from it all.

You wouldn't believe the proposals that come across my desk ships, shopping centers, hotels." He bought one of his favorite hotels, the Beverly Hilton in 1987, which he later sold in 2003. He operated the Merv Griffin Givenchy Resort Spa in Palm Springs and other properties in locales ranging from Arizona to Ireland. He also bought the Resorts Casino in Atlantic City from Donald Trump. The latter soon plunged into Chapter 11, but Griffin continued his enthusiasm. "I'm having the time of my life," he said in 1992, while preparing a New Year's Eve show.

"I love putting on these shows." That enthusiasm came partly from his plush situation. "One of the cool things about Merv is that he's in a position to produce shows just for the love of TV," Ray Brune, the television chief of Merv Griffin Entertainment, said last November. "Making money is not the priority Every day is like being in graduate school watching him work, negotiate, produce, create and manage Griffin remained the executive producer of "Wheel of Fortune" and "Jeopardy!" and of course continued to earn royalties every time the "Jeopardy!" theme, which he composed, was played. In 2006, he estimated those royalties for the 30-second "Final Jeopardy!" theme at $70 million. A collection of Griffin's interviews with celebrities through the 1962-86 run of his talk show was released within the last year.

Memorable interviews include: Martin Luther King Orson Wells, John Lennon, Laurence Olivier and four different presidents. Belden Road, Columbus, hit-skip (highway), $175.
