Desert Storm Soldier Remembers Schwarzkopf As ‘Unrivaled’ Commander The Courier, in an exclusive interview, spoke with former Naval Intelligence Officer Frank Wuco about serving under Gen. Schwarzkopf. By Matt Lopez America lost one of its most decorated military commanders when Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, ground leader of Operation Desert Storm, died last week at the age of 78. 30-year Naval Intelligence (see ‘SCHWARZKOPF,’ page 7)

By Laura Coleman The Beverly Hills High School Marching Band kicked off 2013 by participating in the prestigious London New Year’s Day Parade on Tuesday. “As the British would say, ‘It was splendid!’” Board of Education President Jake Manaster told The Courier from London, after watching his 10th grade daughter Amanda play the flute as part of the 68-member high school band. Over half a million people turned out to watch the parade from Piccadilly to Parliament Square on New Year’s Day, with millions more watching the broadcast. “I am personally hopeful that this is an inaugural trip to be repeated,” Manaster said. BHHS was one of only 15 schools in the nation to be invited to perform in this year’s parade, an annual British tradition, which featured more than 6,000 performers from across the globe. The band raised over $220,000 to participate in the event as part of a week-long trip to England, band teacher Bill Bradbury said. “Our students enjoyed a spectacular trip, performed well, and above all represented our school and community proudly,” Manaster told The Courier.

GIVING BACK IN GUATEMALA— Nahal Yashar, a junior at Beverly Hills High School, traveled to Guatemala last summer on a study abroad trip to not only visit, but also help out the small villages that are in need. Yashar and 12 other students from the Los Angeles area joined the Walking Tree Travel organization to help rebuild a school in a small town in Guatemala called Santa Clara La Laguna. The school caters to boys and girls of all ages.

Beverly Hills High Teenager Uses Guatemala Trip As Inspiration for More Volunteer Service in 2013 By Matt Lopez While many of her peers were spending their Holiday break relaxing and enjoying their time off, Beverly Hills High School junior Nahal Yashar was busy planning her next big service project for 2013.

16-year-old Yashar, a BHHS Student Service Ambassador, used last summer to take a three-week trip to Guatemala with the Walking Tree Travel organization, which brought together 12 teens from around the Los Angeles area. “Guatemala is a place of

City Offers Tree Pick Up With Regular Collection By Marla Schevker Anyone in the City of Beverly Hills looking to get rid of Christmas trees can dispose of them like they dispose of the trash. The City collects all trees during regular trash pick up and sends them to Crown Disposal to be recycled. To properly dispose of a Christmas tree: remove all the

ornaments and decorations, remove the stand and/or base and place the whole tree next to trash bins for collection. Arnetta Eason, Management Analyst for the Public Works Department, said the City hosts this program every year because it is better for the environment to recycle the trees.

“We have a mixed waste system so all of our trash goes to Crown [Disposal],” she said. “They’ll sort through and it will be recycled with green waste and turned into compost or mulch.” For more information, contact the Public Works Customer Service Department at 310 285-2467.

cer Frank Wuco, served under Schwarzkopf, a four-star Army general, during the initial onslaught of Operation Desert Shield, the decisive Schwarzkopf-led defeat of Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi army in the 1991 Persian Gulf War. Wuco told The Courier America may never see another leader like Schwarzkopf. “He vanquished the stigma of Vietnam... and taught Americans what victory in combat felt like,” Wuco told The Courier. “We hadn’t experienced that since World War II. He destroyed the stigma of the American fighting force as one that couldn’t win wars anymore... and that hasn’t been replicated since.” Wuco, a retired Naval Intelligence Officer, is a former Chief of Intelligence Operations at Special Operations Command CENTRAL and former Chief of U.S. Central Command’s Intelligence Red Team. He was a part of the Schwarzkopf-led allied forces in Saudi Arabia as a petty officer in the Navy Special Warfare Task Unit for eight weeks before being commissioned out and into an officer program. Wuco told The Courier that what was perhaps most impressive about Schwarzkopf’s leadership was his ability to mesh the allied forces together during the Gulf War and build a new kind of military unit. “He had this entirely new type of fighting force to command. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, under a single unified commander.. to integrate and coordinate this massive unit is absolutely unrivaled in the industrial or civilian world.” Schwarzkopf led more than 540,000 American troops and hundreds of thousands of soldiers in an allied force from 28 other countries in air and ground assaults during the lopsided victory over Hussein’s Iraqi army. The conflict boiled over on Aug. 2, 1990 after Iraq invaded Kuwait to seize Kuwaiti oil fields. The United Nations condemned the invasion and demanded an immediate withdrawl. Days later, U.S. troops, Wuco included, arrived in Saudi Arabia. Hussein’s response was to declare “jihad” on the U.S. and Israel. As Iraq continued to ignore

the U.N.’s deadlines for withdrawl and talks between then Secretary of State James Baker and Iraq went nowhere, congress granted President George H.W. Bush authority to wage war on Jan. 12, 1991. Five days later, Schwarzkopf, who had been promoted to general and commander-in-chief of U.S. Central Command in 1988, led Operation Desert Storm, which began at 3 a.m. Baghdad time with scud missile strikes. After continuous refusals to withdraw, the U.S. launched a ground attack on Feb. 24, with Schwarzkopf took a page out of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant’s Civil War campaign in Vicksburg by implementing a “left hook” tactic of placing troops behind enemy lines. Two days later, Hussein withdrew from Kuwait. Nearly 10,000 Iraqi troops were killed when U.S. coalition aircrafts bombed their stolen vehicles in what is now called the “Highway of Death.” On Feb. 28, President Bush announced a ceasefire and Kuwait’s liberation. “The way he led Desert Storm to its success is on par with what [Gen. Dwight D.] Eisenhower did in Normandy,” Wuco said. “Both of them were sort of equally complex, but both were completely new types of warfare.” Wuco said the military leaders who have followed Schwarzkopf have not lived up to his standard. “He hugged real close to the lessons he learned from Vietnam and the (Casper) Weinberger Doctrine, which says you don’t commit American forces to war unless you have a clearly defined objective and a clear path to victory,” Wuco said. “We have almost completely gotten away from that.” Ultimately, Wuco said Schwarzkopf’s legacy may be unparalelled. “(Schwarzkopf’s) results pretty much speak for themselves,” Wuco said. “I’ve served under four (generals)... some may have been great military tacticians or may have been good at certain aspects of leadership, but couldn’t manage their staff and all the moving pieces that go with it,” Wuco said. “(Schwarzkopf) was kind of a triple threat. He had a handle on everything.”

GRIMMETT

(continued from page 4)

1947. He had worked as a mechanic at an old Ford dealership at Rodeo Drive and Brighton Way as early as 1929. After Grimmett died in 1976, his sons Glenn and Thom took over the business. In 1999, it was passed onto Glenn’s son, current owner John Grimmett. “I love it.. I like that I can walk out the door and talk to people sitting at a red light, ask them how they’re doing and how their car is,” Grimmett said. “I just love coming here... it kills me that I have to leave.” Last year, after the death of his grandmother, the property was passed on to her four children, John’s aunt’s and uncles. The four decided it could get fair market value rent for the property, and sold it to a businessman who reportedly plans to turn the lot into an art studio. John said the rent difference between what he can afford to pay and what the family will get from the new owner is “about 75 percent.” So John and his trusty workers, many of whom have worked there for decades, will pack up on Jan. 31 and head 2.5 miles west and into Los Angeles at 11717 Santa Monica Blvd., where he’ll merge with another mechanic to form Baizer and Grimmett Automotive Repair. “There’s no way a little shop like this can afford that kind of a raise in overhead without hammering everyone that comes in,” John said. “I would have to charge my customers way more money and I won’t do that.” John said he saw the writing on the wall.

“It’s not like I’m mad at them, I kind of knew this was coming,” John said. “The family did what they needed to do and I have to move on.” Pictures of the hundreds of celebrities who have visited the shop adorn the worn walls inside the shop’s office. It’s almost a whos who of some of Hollywood’s biggest stars of yesteryear. Everyone from Marilyn Monroe to Lucille Ball visited the shop, along with celebrities like Clark Gable, James Cagney, Charlton Heston, Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Stan Laurel and Boris Karloff. Lauren Bacall once famously made headlines when she shopped her car off for service, but locked the keys inside and took off, leaving the car blocking the entrance for hoards of other customers. “Back then stars drove their cars, nowadays they drive a car and flip it every year, so they don’t need service,” John said. “Back then, they needed service so they came here.” Grimmett said his favorite memories, however, are working with local community members. His shop’s online reviews are almost all glowing experiences from customers. “I know just about everybody in the city,” John said. “I know all the fireman and motor police because they all bring their cars here.” John said councilwoman Lili Bosse visited his shop a couple of weeks ago and has pushed for the City to give Grimmett a proclamation, which will be done at a council meeting later this month. “That’s really cool of her to do that, because sometimes you wonder, do they even care? But I know the people around here care.” John said.

Violin Sonatas With Chalifour Coming To Doheny Mansion Chamber Music is Historic Sites will present virtuoso violinist and L.A. Philharmonic Concertmaster Martin Chalifour and Pianist Kevin Fitz-Gerald in a program of violin sonatas at 8 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 19 at the Dohney Mansion, 8 Chester Place, L.A. The centerpiece of the historic mansion (Hunt & Eisen-

1899) is the Pompeian Room, the setting for the concert. Originally an octagonal patio lined with earth-colored Spanish tiles, it underwent an extensive renovation in 1913 when architect A.F. Rosenheim converted it into a beaux-Arts room for entertaining with marble, glass and gold, topped with a Tiffany gold-glass dome.

On the program will be Johannes Brahms’ Sonata No. 2 A, Op. 100, Felix Mendelssohn’s Sonata in F (comp. 1838) and Camille Saint-Saens Sonata N.1 in d, Op. 75. To buy tickets, priced at $85 and $65, or for more information, call 213-477-2929 or visit www.DaCamera.org.

Next On Tap For Theatre 40 7 Stories, “a comedy that stands tall,” will make it’s West Coast premiere, Thursday, Jan. 24 through Sunday, Feb. 24 at Theatre 40’s Reuben Cordova Theatre, 241 S. Moreno Dr. The title refers to a building where a troubled man climbs out on the ledge, pondering whether to jump off. As occupants become aware of the situation no one seems particularly alarmed by the man’s circumstance: they’re far too engrossed in either their own arguing or partying. The unconventional company with an unexpected ending was a surprise hit in playwright Morris Panych’s native Canada. He is known locally for his play Vigil, which starred Olympia Dukakis at the Mark Taper Forum last year. Bruce Gray, who has directed Theatre 40 productions since 1982, also helms this production. As an actor, the Canadian starred for four years on the

Canadian TV series Traders. American audiences saw him as a recurring character on Falling Skies, Medium, Playmakers and more. He’s also appeared in the films Evan Almighty My Big Fat Greek Wedding, S.W.A.T., Starship Trooper and more. The cast of 7 Stories includes: Greg Barnett, Field Blauvelt, Eric Jorgenson, Jennifer Laks, Richard Hoyt Miller, Flora Plumb and Jill Remez. The crew includes Brigid O’Brien, assistant director; Michael Frank, stage manager, and Michelle Young, costume design. Performances will be at 8 p.m., Thursday-Saturday, and 2 p.m. on Sunday. (The Friday, Jan. 25 performance is by invitation only.) Tickets are $24, Thursday and Friday, and $26, weekends. For reservations and online ticketing call 310-364-0535 or visit www.theatre40.org.

Administrator Bill Crowe said. Crowe said he was honored by the reaction people had to the float, both during the parade and beforehand when visitors toured the facility to see it. “We got a great reaction from the community, people really loved the float and wanted to learn more about it and the foundation,” Crowe told The Courier. “It’s an honor to be acknowledged for our work and effort to raise awareness for pet adoptions.” Crowe said he hoped the float’s lasting legacy would simply be to consider pet adoption when searching for your next pet. “We just want people to keep in mind pet adoption when looking for a pet as opposed to going to a puppy mill,” Crowe said. “We hope this encourages more people to go out and adopt their next puppy.”

Research Roundup...

Prostate Cancer Drug May Fight Detectable By Biopsy Muscular Dystrophy Research by a UCLA team of physicians and engineers demonstrates that prostate cancer can be diagnosed using image-guided targeted biopsy. Traditionally found only by blind biopsy, a procedure that dates from the 1980s, prostate cancer now appears detectable by direct sampling of tumor spots found using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in combination with real-time ultrasound, according to the UCLA study for the January issue of The Journal Of Urology. The study reveals that the MRI and ultrasound fusion biopsy, which is much more accurate than conventional blind biopsy, may lead to a reduction in the number of prostate biopsies performed, and allow for early detection of serious prostate cancers. The study involved 171 men who were using active surveillance to monitor slow-growing prostate cancers or men who had persistently elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA)—a protein produced by the prostate that can indicate the presence of cancer—but had prior negative biopsies.

Drugs are being tested that show promise in treating patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), an inherited disease that affects about one in 3,600 boys and results in muscle degeneration and, eventually, death. Scientists at UCLA have found a drug, already approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, that provides a powerful boost to the therapy currently being tested in clinical trials. They hope this one-two punch used in combination will overcome the genetic mutations that cause DMD, restore a missing protein needed for proper muscle function and allow those affected by the disease to lead relatively normal lives. The drug, dantrolene, was found after researchers examined thousands of small molecules using a high through-put molecular screening technique that allows them to scrutinize many molecules at the same time, said study senior authors Dr. Stan Nelson, a professor of human genetics, and Carrie Miceli, a professor of microbiology, immunology and molecular genetics.

Astrology by Holiday Mathis TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 4). You’re changing and lean into the change, enjoying the process and excitedly anticipating who you’ll be next. This month brings enchanting company. In February, you’ll make something new of old history. Your creation takes on a life of its own in March. May and August are the most lucrative. You’ll travel in June. Cancer and Leo people adore you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Neither time nor money is available to you in infinite quantities, but you do clever things with the resources you have. Bonus: This will impress someone who will be helpful to you at a future date. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Daily living is not an exact science. You’ll do your best. Some will say you prioritized unfairly or illogically. How would they know? Let enthusiasm and curiosity be your guides. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). There’s a huge difference between being

around and being present. The eye contact, physical affection and attention you give loved ones are the keys to happy relationships. ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). It’s strange when you don’t get the response you were looking for. It means something’s a little off. You’ll be inspired to look at your own motivation. Does it hold up? Is it who you really want to be? TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). Though your body seems to be taking practical action, your mind is off on a quixotic adventure. Remarkably, you’re getting so much done in spite of this disconnect. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Be careful whom you confide in, especially about your recent victory. Some people are so interested in their own fears and preoccupations that they’ll have a hard time relating to your success story. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You wouldn’t presume to tell another person what he or she should go after in life, and by the same token, you don’t have to listen to anyone who thinks they know better what you should do. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People are always telling you to slow down,

but they don’t realize that you have to move at your current speed in order to get it all done. You’ll go to bed thinking about what you might cut from the schedule. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Love has a way of catapulting people out of their usual personality and into a new attitude. You may experience this change to some degree today as your fondness for someone grows. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). With the moon in your sign, you have a stronger sense of balance than usual. Pleasure, contentment and connection are more important to your daily life right now than any other goal. Make yourself happy. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). One hipster T-shirt suggested: “If you can’t be a good example, be a warning.” Today, you won’t have to choose. Bad behavior has unexpectedly positive results, so you’ll fit into both categories at once. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When you’re genuinely excited to see your loved ones, you show your enthusiasm as they walk into the room. When you’re not, there’s something wrong. You and yours deserve to be properly acknowledged.

It’s hardly the crime of the century and may not even be a crime at all. But, for the 58 artists whose works have been chosen by the Palm Springs Art Museum and the Rubell Family Collection/Contemporary Arts Foundation of Miami, the title of the exhibition provides an insight into their artistic inspirations. The exhibition, which runs Feb. 13 to June 2, is entitled “Beg, Borrow and Steal;” a title taken from a quote attributed to Picasso who once opined: “Good artists borrow, great artists steal.” Organized in 2009 as an immense annual installation to coincide with the colorful international art scene surrounding the hugely popular Art Basel art festival in Miami, the “Beg, Borrow and Steal” theme resulted from a series of conversations the Rubells had with artists Kelly Walker and Wade Guyton. The frequently collaborative duo noted the generosity of some artists in the nature of their work and further described how Andy Warhol, Marcell Duchamp and Richard Prince opened doors for younger artists like themselves to walk through. “Beg, Borrow and Steal” is the first exhibition to be installed simultaneously at the Palm Springs Art Museum and the Palm Springs Art Museum in Palm Desert's Galen Building. Given the enormity of the original installation, which was made up entirely of works from the Rubells’ permanent collection, the exhibition has been shaved a bit from the 78 artists originally represented and now includes paintings, sculpture, photographs and videos from 58 artists, with an emphasis on those working on the West Coast, particularly L.A. The exhibition presents the opportunity for a visual dialogue among internationally recognized older and younger artists who share a use of appropriated imagery. Their works contribute to the discussion of how borrowing, and stealing, can be a way to comment on the past and still create something new. The Palm Springs Art Museum has two locations in the Coachella Valley. The main building in Palm Springs features compelling art exhibitions and a vast permanent collection housed in a 150,000-square foot, architecturally significant, structure. The Palm Springs Art Museum in Palm Desert is an 8,400-square foot Silver LEED-certified building-- appropriately named the Galen Building in honor of local philanthropist and museum patron Helene Galen. This will house changing exhibitions and collections and is surrounded by the four-acre Faye Sarkowsky Sculpture Garden featuring more than 10 significant works of sculpture. Both museum locations are open to the public with free admission every Thursday from 4-8 p.m. In addition, the Palm Springs museum facility offers free admission and programming the second Sunday each month. ****** Behind every good dancer there is another good dancer. No, I don’t mean your partner who – hopefully–stands ready to pick you up when you fall, I mean the choreographer whose job it is to keep you from falling on your face in the first place. The importance of choreography and a world renowned choreographer will be featured at the 19th Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards on Feb. 9 when one of the headliners will be Ray Leeper, the choreographer for seasons 8 and 9 of So You Think You Can Dance. And, to demonstrate how choreography is a critical part of dance, Leeper will bring along two of his star pupils: Chehon, season 8’s winner and Marko, a So You Think You Can Dance all-star. The entertainment doesn’t stop with dancing. Melissa Etheridge has been already announced as a performer at the gala, along with Broadway stars Stephnie J. Block, who played Elephaba and Megan Hilty in the role of Glinda in the production of Wicked. These two powerhouse stars will again perform together on the same stage at the Steve Chase Gala. Since nothing succeeds like success, this is the awards gala co-chaired by the dynamic team of restaurateur/philanthropist Barbara Keller and Jim Casey, president/CEO of presenting sponsor, Integrated Wealth Management.

Education Partner

From the Publisher CLIF SMITH JOIN THE BEVERLY HILLS EDUCATION FOUNDATION PARTY HOSTED BY FLEMING’S, COURIER, JAN.24

Rabbi Jacob Pressman RESOLUTION OR REVOLUTION By golly, it is now the fourth day of the year 2013. Perhaps you have already made some New Year’s resolutions, some decisions as to future actions. Perhaps, also, you have broken some. The popular knowledge is that the average New Year resolution is broken by Jan. 14, so if you are still carrying out your resolutions you are in good shape. When I was an earnest teen-ager I would spend Dec. 31 writing out my resolutions in all seriousness. They always included my promise to change something in my life drasticly for the better and the nobler. This resolution, of course, dissolved some time after the New Years Day parade ended. This year I did not bother. I am aware that man proposes and God disposes. Que sera sera. On the other hand, there are revolutionary changes in the world which I pray will, at least, begin to take place in 2013. I hope that more serious efforts will lead to reducing those pollutions, including the exhaust from motors, whether mobile or stationary which are leading to the warming of our troposphere, atmosphere, and stratosphere which might make human life on earth impossible. I am anxious that we do not turn the oceans into sewers by thoughtlessly dumping waste into them, threatening sea life. We must reduce the denuding of our forests by turning lumber into paper. This we can do with electronic gadgetry which has already produced the tiniest of tiny handheld little miraculous computers able to compress into a couple of square inches what whole libraries once contained. The fulfillment of our resolutions is bound to create revolutions in our life style, if not this year then eventually but also inevitably. I only wish I could live to see it all happen. Happy New Year!

With the State of California broke and our own schools looking at serious budget shortfalls, what a great time for our newest restaurant – Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse on North Beverly Drive – to welcome itself to Beverly Hills by hosting a great event for the Beverly Hills Education Foundation! Fleming’s will pick up the entire tab for 200 guests for a tremendous five course dinner featuring wines by the Frank Family Vineyards on Thursday, Jan. 24 at 7 PM. The Courier is co-sponsoring the event, which will feature red-carpet arrivals and full news coverage by The Courier’s photographers and Courier TV crew. Every penny of the $175 per person tariff goes to BHEF to support our schools. One of the most wonderful features of Beverly Hills is the way we welcome businesses that participate in our community. Whether they are long-established firms like Mercedes-Benz of Beverly Hills or our newest auto dealership, Fletcher Jones Audi of Beverly Hills, or banks or hotels or retailers or restaurants or anyone else, if you give back and contribute to the life of our City, our people give you their business (of course, you must offer good value and top-notch service). Beverly Hills is full of generous, giving people who constantly “give back” from their pockets An article in The Courier states: “In a sign that Crescent Drive and persons. Businesses that operate on the same principles will be rewarded. could become a more permanent fixture for special events and The Courier is pleased to congratulate Fleming’s for hosting this event.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

PUNISHING PHILANTHROPY AND OTHER GOOD WORKS The rich are evil. That’s certain. Not only must the rich be punished and stripped of a major portion of their own money, but the nongovernment organizations that perform good works must be punished, too, because the evil rich support them. That’s the message—loud and clear— from President Barack Obama and Democrat Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.), the Senate Majority Leader. You see, for all of our readers who have the good fortune to have a fortune, or even a small fortune, or anything at all, you are “hurting the poor and middle class” by donating your money (not someone else’s) to a charity. Did you realize the damage you do by supporting Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, the American Cancer Society, the Sheba Medical Center, the Jewish Home for the Aged, Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles, Good Shepherd School, or Vista del Mar Home, City of Hope and any number of other organizations that rely upon your donations to continue their good works? We’ll bet you had no idea how many people you were hurting. Instead, you should pay that money to the federal government in taxes so that government workers can have higher retirement pay, so that those who don’t work will continue with unemployment payments, so researchers in whoknows-where can study the effects of something or another on the brains of birds. You also need to pay more of your money so that government officials can fly back and forth from Hawaii to Washington for vacations. Above all else, your money must be spent only for activities approved by the federal government. If you wish to support anything else, you must first pay taxes on that money before you can exercise your own discretion. This is what is in today’s headlines. It is what is now in front of the Congress. This is the philosophy behind eliminating deductions for charitable contributions. Above all else, it is the government taking away more

of your discretion to dispose of wealth you have earned as you please. Added to this is the rebirth of the death tax. What you worked for your entire lives (and paid taxes on already) will once again be confiscated from you simply because you died. The point of this is to cede control of more and more of our daily activities to government. This is the “change” promoted by President Obama when he first ran for president and he is accomplishing exactly what he set out to do. So many organizations full of dedicated people doing truly good works will now wither and die. As they die, people will die. Unnecessarily so. The main casualty will be freedom – freedom to choose what to do with your own property, because you have no right to that property. An astonishing and terrible “change.” We don’t think this is exactly what the people voted for, but, then again, with Congress refusing to read what they vote on, no wonder it’s what we are getting.

Cartoon for The Courier by Janet Salter

there” The council might find this a lovely idea, but what could it be thinking? Where is the EIR, the traffic studies which any business would be required to do before corrupting the only easily-driven and flowthrough street in the triangle? This is the most accessible street to Brighton and Dayton that allows residents to shop in the triangle and move through the City. The main special event was always the installation of councilmembers, with an enormous tent. That is no longer necessary as the A.M.P.A.S. Theatre is now used as will probably the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts once it opens. The GMP contract allows for $1 million for the bollard system, though Matt Construction estimates the cost will not exceed $640,000 with a contingency of $60,000. Before the council spendsthe $640,000 maybe it should ask the residents how they feel about this first. That’s what parks and special venues are for–not the middle of a street. Nancy Krasne, Former Mayor of Beverly Hills ****** In 2013, we who live in Beverly Hills should worry most not about the fiscal cliff or debt ceiling limit but about the growing inequality in the United States. I have been to places–Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Montevideo, Uruguay come to mind–where the wealthy live behind bars with security guards at every door or privately funded guards in guard houses every other block. They travel by armored SUV or helicopter if they can to avoid the streets, but still don't feel secure. Even if one could put a gate around Beverly Hills, and rely on BHPD to protect us, eventually we, or our children, or our grandchildren, or friends and other relatives, must eventually leave this secure environment to enter the chaos we have created. In Brazil or Uruguay, one worries about street crime and kidnappings. One cannot put a price on the everyday security we feel as we walk and drive in our wonderful City, and in adjoining cities. So we should be willing to pay–grudgingly, perhaps, but willingly–additional taxes, to the level paid under Presidents Clinton or Reagan, to fund steps which will pay down the recent legacy of debt and economic ruin which have the potential to reduce inequality in income, education, and health status in our country. The danger of not doing so is too great Daniel Fink
