renovated Community Center. “We’re very supportive,” said PETS 90210 Director Bill Crowe, whose organization has helped find homes for over 4,000 rescue animals through adoption events at Roxbury Park the past eight years. The $25,000 budget proposed for the construction of a 14,400-square-foot off-leash enclosure in northeast Roxbury Park, which takes over the croquet lawn, is not part of the City’s $14.4 million redevelopment plan for Roxbury Park, which includes $1.3 million for park site improvement. Many of the roughly 100 residents at Monday's town hall emphasized the need for a dog park in Beverly Hills, which would give apartment-bound neighborhood dogs without access to backyards the opportunity to run free, in addition to serving as the social nexus for pet owners and pooches. “A dog park is probably to-

day's town center,” said Beverly Hills Croquet Club President Xandra Kayden, whose club will take over one of the greens currently used by the Beverly Hills Lawn Bowling Club. City Publicist Jessica Emerson said that of 51 people who responded to a questionnaire at the town hall, 37 supported the creation of a dog park. Although the majority of Monday night’s 34 speakers supported a dog park, some, such as Human Relations Vice Chair Rochelle Ginsburg, voiced concern it could change the character of a neighborhood park. South West Beverly Hills Homeowners Association President Ken Goldman said that all of the members he represented were opposed to bringing a dog park to Roxbury. Lifelong resident, homeowner and dog owner Jackie Kassorla said she was surprised to see the range of emotions. “It’s a sensitive matter, coming up with the best space in Beverly Hills,” she said."

ever L.A. Persian Parade. A formal date for the parade has not yet been set, but Delshad said it will happen sometime in spring of 2014. Delshad, who was born in the City of Shiraz in Iran, is the first Iranian-American to hold public office in Beverly Hills. He said he was asked to be honorary chair by Internationally honored Persian entertainer Mary Apick, who has a big hand in putting the event together. Delshad attended a fundraising kickoff event on Jan. 24 at the home of Apick. “The parade will be nonpolitical and non-religious, it

Chair Brian Rosenstein and Beverly Hills professional Katherine Cohan. The forum will include one-on-one interviews and a panel discussion. It will also include a portion where representatives from the Southeast Beverly Hills Homeowners can ask the candidates questions. Goldman said all the candidates should expect “real tough” questions. “We may ask a candidate, ‘hey, you said this back whenever and you say this now... how do you square the two?’” Goldman said. “It’s not intended to be a ‘gotcha’ thing, but it is intended to get answers.” is about showing the history of Persians,” Delshad explained to The Courier. “There is more than 2,500 years of culture in Iran.” The parade will feature some 20 floats, each representing a city in Iran, as well as Persian history, culture and literature. “We have to coordinate with the city of L.A. and the City of Beverly Hills, where the parade is going to be, where and how it’s going to occur.” “It’s been happening for the past 10 years in New York City and we thought since more Iranians and Persians live in California than New York, why not have one on the West Coast?” Delshad said.

LUSTIG

(continued from page 1)

Day program held at the Writer’s Guild Theatre in Beverly Hills. “I try with everything that I can, I try that people will not forget, that it will never happen again,” Lustig said. The world has avowed that “never again” will the Holocaust happen – indeed, President Barack Obama marked International Holocaust Remembrance Day on Sunday by pledging to “stay true to the principle of ‘Never Again’” and oppose any tyrant or dictator who commits crimes against humanity – but ongoing genocides in Darfur, Sudan and Congo illustrate that 68 years after the liberation of Auschwitz on Jan. 27, where over 1 million Jews were killed solely on the basis of religion, human beings are still slaughtering each other. Roughly 30 minutes before the legendary force behind Sophie’s Choice and Schindler’s List took the stage, Lustig confided to The Courier that he believed the voices of the six million Jews killed in the Holocaust would be stamped out over time. “I’m a very pessimistic person,” he said. “I think 20 or 30 years after we die, it will be forgotten. “People will not remember.” For the past seven years Lustig has been hosting the Zagreb Jewish Film Festival, another example of how the Croatian-born Jew, tattooed in Auschwitz with the number A3317, is committed to preserving the Jewish narrative. Mensch Foundation founder Steven Gieger said the Yiddish word “Mensch” is the best compliment you can give a person. Beverly Hills Temple of the Arts Rabbi David Baron, one of the speakers on Tuesday, said it was critical to keep the memory of the Holocaust etched in the collective mind. Other speakers included Daniel Pearl Foundation President Judea Pearl, Loyola Law professor Stanley Goldman, German Consul General Bernd Fischer, and American Jewish University professor Michael Berenbaum. Branko called his two-part miniseries devoted to World War II, The Winds of War and War and Remembrance his most important work in a career marked by producing stories that underscore the human condition and its intrinsic frailties and strengths. “Day by day we are less and less survivors,” the 80-year-old Auschwitz Concentration Camp survivor told just over one hundred people in the audience Tuesday night. “The problem is that I’m afraid that one day, after all of us will be gone… “I want to ask you, what have you done, that this will never happen again?”

‘Miss Latvia’ Kristina Djadenko Ready To Spread The Word By John L. Seitz She’s a combination figure skater, lawyer, TV hostess, concert pianist, lecturer, image consultant, ballroom dancer and international beauty queen. Put together, Kristina Djadenko has already made quite an impact at the ripe old age of 29 and plans on exceeding that output of activities within the next half decade, if not sooner.

Born in Riga, the capital of her Latvian homeland, she moved to Beverly Hills three years ago, set on making this City her permanent residence and advancing a possible television career. Rather than go the typical “actress route,” however, her ambition is to instruct young women in the art of becoming “real ladies.” (see ‘DJADENKO,’ page 12)

The format will run the gamut of how to dress for job interviews and special events; how to apply make-up and pick out the appropriate clothes; wear high heels; proper table etiquette while dining; and the body language needed to give speeches or simply to relate to other individuals. “Life usually gives a person a few ‘can’t miss’ opportunities but you have to be ready to take advantage of these because they come along so rarely,” states Djadenko. “The show will attempt to bring out the inner beauty of each individual while at the same time restoring some of the glamour of old Hollywood.” While developing plans for the KristiD Show, she is currently hosting on Merci TV’s international satellite while also serving as an image consultant for Global Private Funding.

Of course, during this time, she won the title of “Miss Latvia” and represented her country in both the Miss World competition in southern China and Miss International in Macau. Meeting a number of American contestants in these pageants, Djadenko decided that the opportunities in the U.S.A. were too promising to pass up. Equipped with a temporary visa, she landed at LAX and headed straight to her new home in Beverly Hills. Soon after her arrival, she met her now mentor, Jimmy Sedghi, who has guided her burgeoning career ever since. The latter is a local business consultant and a former diplomat who had established the first Iranian radio station in America. He later became a confidant of the late Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and the royal family. Prior to the Iranian Revolution, he organized a tour to Iran of a number of Hollywood stars including Elizabeth Taylor, Connie Stevens, and Cloris Leachman. While he is currently prepping a new reality series called The Real Shahs Of Beverly Hills; The Pride Of America, his prime focus is on the launching of the KristiD Show. “Kristina is a tremendous talent and has the ability of bringing out the best in those she reaches,” states Sedghi. “It’s her purpose to instruct people to only become winners in their particular careerpaths nd the art of living.” It would seem Kristina Djadenko has been reaching for the stars all her young life, but, now perhaps, the stars are reaching for her.

PALM SPRINGS ART MUSEUM GALA–More than 400 turned out for the annual fundraising gala for the Palm Springs Art Museum which was co-chaired by Jerry and Georgia Fogelson (left photo). In the right photo (from left): Harold Meyerman, the museum’s board chair, is pictured with couture designer Fe Zandi, Photos by Sherman Fridman Kamran Behbenaui and Dorothy Meyerman.

In a city known for the glamour of its lavish black-tie soirées, nothing sets the bar higher for elegance, sophistication and world class entertainment than the Palm Springs Art Museum’s annual major fundraising gala. Just ask any of the 400 guests who paid $750 per person (and up) to attend this year’s SRO event. The evening’s activities were divided into four components. Arriving guests were greeted atop the museum’s grand entrance stairway–enhanced for the occasion by multi-hued carpeting that set the event’s Pucci-design theme–by gala co-chairs Georgia and Jerry Fogelson along with Roberta Holland, president of the Museum Associates Council. First stop for guests: the Houston Atrium and its lavish reception where glamorously-attired art patrons mixed and mingled, barely noticing the troupe of entirely-clad-in-gray mimes roaming through the space, seemingly oblivious to the crowd around them. The museum’s Annenberg Theater was the next stop where guests were regaled with a masterful performance by a quartet called Under the Streetlamp. The name has its origin from the mid1900s, when groups of guys (primarily) would huddle on street corners in New Jersey, New York and Philadelphia – under the streetlamp – and try out their acappella harmonizing of rock ‘n’ roll, doo-wop and Motown hit songs. Under the Streetlamp (Michael Cunio, Shonn Wiley, Michael Ingersoll and Christopher Kale Jones) pay homage to that time more than halfcentury ago with their flawless voices reprising the timeless songs of what they refer to as the “Great American Radio Songbook.” It was a masterful, high energy evening brought to the Desert by four veterans who have stared in various productions of the Broadway hit Jersey Boys, a musical history of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Singing along with Under the Streetlamp and its seven-piece band builds up an appetite, so after the group’s performance, guests returned to the museum’s main level for a sit-down dinner in the main-floor Annenberg Wing, now transformed into an elegant super club featuring Pucci-inspired custom-designed table centerpieces and overhead mobiles. During dinner, violinist Brittany Cottover performed a medley of contemporary hits, making her way among the diners while the Houston Atrium was made ready for the New Sensation Band who provided music to dance the rest of the night away. Want to be part of the fun? The museum’s annual gala may be over until next year, but the ex-

citing fundraisers presented by the museum’s various auxiliary councils are sure to make for a series of upcoming, fun-filled programs. On Feb. 21, the museum’s Architecture and Design Council presents a Mad Men-themed party at the museum’s soon-to-be-renovated Architecture and Design Center in Palm Springs. An Art of Shopping fundraiser featuring fashions, jewelry and lunch at Cuistot, one of Palm Desert’s premier restaurants, will be held on Feb. 25. The Western Art Council always provides unique, impressive funders such as the Mar. 2 dinner in Jim Houston’s home, featuring Robert Redford and honoring artist Dan Namingha. On Mar. 23, Photography Collection Council models its annual fundraiser at a private residence in Palm Springs, after the famous 1966 Truman Capote “Black and White Ball.” If paying taxes will deplete the amount of your disposal income, then the “99 Bucks Art Sale,” on April 13 at Hotel Zoso in Palm Springs, will be just the thing to suit your budget. More information about any of these museum’s events is at 760-322-4814. ****** Along with golf courses, tennis courts, swimming pools and an upscale lifestyle, Coachella Valley is also one of California’s main agriculture centers. But did you know every year, millions of pounds of produce–a quarter of all food crops–are left un-harvested, plowed under or destroyed? The reasons: cosmetic blemishes, overproduction or dwindling market price. In 2001, Desert resident Christy Porter saw this waste of edible, nutritional produce and knowing that about 40 percent of the children in the Coachella Valley live in poverty along with nearly a quarter of all adults, decided to do something to alleviate the problem; and the nonprofit Hidden Harvest was born. The organization collects and distrubutes unwanted produce to Valley agencies to feed the hungry. Using refrigerated trucks, each delivery is tailored to the food bank, soup kitchen or food pantry’s days and hours of service to ensure the produce arrives at its freshest. It has become so effective, (rescuing more than 11 million pounds of produce since 2001), and been recognized by former President Bill Clinton and featured on the Clinton Health Matters Initiative’s web site. A support group, “Friends & Family of Hidden Harvest,” holds its inaugural fundraiser onMar. 20. Call 760-398-8183 or additional information.

SEASON FOR GIVING—In late December, The Women’s Auxiliary at the Los Angeles Country Club held its annual Santa Scramble Golf Tournament with donations benefitting Alexandria House, a community-oriented transitional home for women and children in Los Angeles. The City of Beverly Hills Community Services Department had a personal care supply drive in which nearly 100 items were delivered to the residents at Alexandria House. The BHPD has supported the Women’s Auxiliary for more than 10 years at this event with a K-9 visit. Pictured (from left): Judy Vaughan, csj, founding director Alexandria House; Joan MacLaughlin, president of the Women’s Auxiliary board at LACC; Maida Hastings and Julianne O’Connor, co-chairs of the golf tournament; and BHPD officer Finn O.

BHEF President Annette Saleh said. Just before the event, City Councilmember Lili Bosse and her husband Jon Bosse announced a $100,000 donation to Beverly Hills schools as the first private gift to kick-start the City’s $600,000 “matching” fund campaign. Despite the recent City agreement to funnel $4 million to the Beverly HIlls Unified School district to plug the coming year’s budget deficit, BHEF Chairman of the Board Jonathan Prince said the “new normal” going forward for public education in Beverly Hills will be a $1,000 per student “ask” - which would yield over $4 million annually for schools. The BHEF will also look increasingly to the business community in addition to high net worth individuals. Fleming’s Beverly Hills Operating Partner Tai Nguyen said the new Bever-

pressed a desire to see funding help go to the Beverly Hills Unified School District and supported a plan hashed out earlier this month by the City/BHUSD liaisons to funnel a little more than $4 million into the district. Vice Mayor John Mirisch, who first suggested the idea of using the City’s surplus money to aid BHUSD to crawl out of its budget crisis, spoke of the personal importance funding local schools has to him. “I have a child in kindergarten who has another 12 years of our schools... the schools are in a pickle and it’s not through their own making,” Mirisch said. “We’re committed to not only filling the hole, but to try to figure out long term solultions to make sure kids get a good education.” Planning Commission Vice Chair Brian Rosenstein said the BHUSD/City liaison plan is “a great plan, well thought out... when I walk door to door, I get the same answer when I ask ‘why do you live here?’, it’s the police, the fire and the schools and the schools are absolutely a priority whether you have children or not.”

ly Hills restaurant was particularly excited to help BHEF kick off its 35th year. “Its a fantastic partnership,” he said. “We couldn’t be happier with how the event turned out. “We’re so grateful to the community of Beverly Hills for welcoming us with open arms and we hope to be a positive contributing part of the community.” Fleming’s is now open daily at 252 N. Beverly Dr. Attendees, who paid $175 per person were treated to an exquisite seafood tower, in addition to a complete steak, lobster and wine dinner, with all of the proceeds going to the BHEF. “It’s great to see our community come together for a good cause,” Courier Publisher Clif Smith said. “It’s even better when our newest businesses demonstrate they want to be part of our community and not just a business address.”

Former mayor and former schoolteacher Nancy Krasne called for an “ironclad JPA” and said chided Gov. Jerry Brown’s Prop. 30 fund redistribution effort which ignores cities like Beverly Hills. “Our children have learning disabilities and impairments just like any other area. Our people jus expect more and demand more and want more.” Mayor Willie Brien said he has been a “strong supporter of our schools dating back to when my kids were in school.” Beverly Hills lawyer Katherine Cohan, who has two small children in BHUSD schools, said: “We need to come up with resolutions as to how we can fund schools so we won’t have that problem next year and the year after.” Candidates were also asked by host and Muni League chairman Thomas White about various issues facing the City, ranging from Metro attempting to tunnel under Beverly Hills High School to the T-Zone at Santa Monica Boulevard and Wilshire Boulevard. Other topics discussed included historic preservation and the City’s homeless population.

Women’s Heart Disease And Stroke Subject Of St. John’s Forum

Lives With Berlin Artificial Heart Last December, the FDA approved use of the life-saving Berlin Heart device for children nationwide. Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) now has at least one or two patients on the device at any given time. A recent sucess story is 11year-old Milan McMillan, who suffered from Dilated Cardiomyopathy. A healthy-appearing child, she had complained of abdominal pains and was prescribed an anti-acid medication a few months preceding a family barbecue in July when she was experiencing shortness of breath, chest pain, and abdominal pain. She awoke from sleep with shortness of breath, palpitations, and her “heart racing.” Her parents took her to a local hospital, stating she “didn’t look right.” The emergency physician there detected a heart murmur, EKG abnormality, and decreased heart function by echocardiography and she was transferred to CHLA’s Cardiothoracic Intensive Care

Milan McMillan and her mother, Karen.

Unit (CTICU). “I could never imagine something like this in a million years,” said Milan’s mother Karen. “She was an active member of the YMCA, in water aerobics, karate and basketball.” After four months in the hospital, she had the device implanted in September by Cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Cynthia Herrington. About the size of a softball, the device rests outside the body connected to the heart with tubes and attached to a pump and external drive.

Dr. Herrington also did the successful heart transplant in December and Milan was able to go home for the holidays after being on the heart transplant list for “quite a while.” At the time she was one of more than 250 children nationwide awaiting a heart transplant. “A bridge to transplant,” as Herrington describes it, the Berlin “is an amazingly good device,” she says. “Kids do well and it keeps children alive to get a transplant.” Read the full story at www.bhcourier.com

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not

automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (916)939-0772 or visit this Internet Web http://search.nationwideposting.com/propertySear chTerms.aspx, using the file number assigned to this case CA1200247676 Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not

immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse.

ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT. ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, this information can be obtained from one of the following three companies: LPS Agency Sales and Posting at (714) 730-2727, or visit the Internet Web site www.lpsasap.com (Registration required to search for sale information) or Priority Posting and Publishing at (714) 573-1965 or visit the Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com (Click on the link for "Advanced Search" to search for sale information), or auction.com at 1-800-280-2832 or visit the Internet Web site www.auction.com, using the Trustee Sale No. shown above.

Section 1. On December 13, 2012, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing, which was continued to the following meeting on December 20, 2012, at which the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 1660, recommending that the City Council amend the Zoning Code to establish a process by which deviations from development standards occurring as a result of construction can be approved if certain findings are met. On January 8, 2013, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing, received public testimony, and thereafter introduced this Ordinance. Section 2. This Ordinance was assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City. It has been determined that adoption of this Ordinance would not have a significant environmental impact and is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. The City Council hereby finds that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption and implementation of this Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment.

Section 9. The City Council shall review the impacts of this ordinance and whether to modify or repeal the ordinance within one year after the effective date. Adopted: January 24, 2013 Effective: February 24, 2013

Section 5. The City Council hereby amends Section 10-3-203 of Article 2 of Chapter 3 of Title 10 of the SUSAN HEALY KEENE Beverly Hills Municipal Code by adding the following language, with all other language in that Section Director of Community Development to remain unchanged: “G. Substantial Compliance Determination. An applicant may seek a determination that a project substantially complies with the zoning code if, after a development project has been approved, a building permit has been issued and the City has approved placement of the footing, it is discovered that the project as constructed does not meet the requirements of the zoning code or conditions of approval. A substantial compliance determination may be approved, with or without conditions, for the zoning code standards listed in the table included in this section if the reviewing authority makes all of the following findings: 1. That requiring strict compliance with the zoning code would create substantial financial hardship for the applicant; 2. That the items that deviate from the code would not exceed the permissible deviations stated in the table included in this section; 3. That approval of a substantial compliance determination would not result in substantial, adverse impacts to neighboring properties; 4. That approval of a substantial compliance determination would not pose a threat to life or safety; 5. That the circumstances surrounding the request for a substantial compliance determination do not indicate that the applicant intended to deviate from the zoning code standards. Nothing in this section shall allow the amount of front yard paving, the floor area of a building, or the height of a building to exceed the limitations in the zoning code. Nothing in this section shall authorize any encroachment onto the public right-of-way or onto neighboring properties. The reviewing authority for a substantial compliance determination shall be the director of community development. If, in the opinion of the director an application merits review by the planning commission, the director may refer such application to the planning commission and the planning commission shall serve as the reviewing authority for such application and shall conduct a noticed public hearing regarding the requested substantial compliance determination.

Education Partner

From the Publisher CLIF SMITH

CONGRATS TO FLEMING’S, BHEF AND US... THE COURIER Last week, Beverly Hills’ newest restaurant threw a “welcome” party that met or exceeded the highest standards and expectations of our community. Fleming’s newest outpost, on North Beverly Drive, generously funded a sold-out event for the Beverly Hills Education Foundation. The evening raised $45,000 for our public schools. The Courier jumped in with both feet as media sponsor, providing coverage, promotion, video and photography. We were proud to do it. The evening’s entry price was substantial, but everyone we spoke with said “The price was worth it.” To make no mistake, Fleming’s paid for all food, beverage and service (all were absolutely outstanding). The excellent dinner wines were a gift from the Frank Family Vineyards, headed by former Disney television chief Rich Frank. He and his wife, KABC’s Leslie Miller, both attended. The red carpet arrivals, the standing-room-only crowd, the beautiful new restaurant–and the fabulous hors d’oevres and dinner–all combined to make it a magical evening. BHEF President Annette Saleh thanked the supporters, Fleming’s partner-owner Tai Nguyen and chef partner Brandon Powell, and The Courier for their support. The event was a huge “win” for Annette who fought hard for the event along with executive director Matt Zarkufsky. Kudos as well to the entire BHEF board and dinner committee. Applause all around. The evening proved that when new businesses come to Beverly Hills to be part of Beverly Hills, they are welcomed enthusiastically. We thank Fleming’s for its generous gesture of good will and commitment to be part of our City. ******************************

INVESTIGATIONS VS. LOBBYISTS

The past two weeks The Courier published – without editorial comment – the actual cost to Beverly Hills taxpayers of our City government staff. What we have not yet published is what all of the categories of pay and benefits actually add up to. We’re trying to do the arithmetic. “Math is hard” when you are trying to interpret bureaucratic gobbledygook about pay and benefits. We’ve asked the questions, but the answers we received were not particularly helpful. What is The Courier now doing? By next week, we will have done the math. We will report the totals. In the meantime, we caution our readers during this election cycle to look to the sources of information. The Courier follows the practice of “double sourcing” all our information, or, as in the case of city finances, reporting directly from official documentation we believe to be trustworthy. When The Courier reports facts, they are facts. We believe that the straight facts we have published prove that the employees of the City of Beverly Hills are not poor, underpaid “civil servants” who have given up a financial pot of gold to serve us. They are well paid, given amazing benefits, awarded a huge pension and lots of time off. We have more staff in this City per capita than any other in California (in this calculation we exclude police, fire and paramedic – this City demands and gratefully pays for the best in public safety). We support top pay for public safety. We do not support featherbedding and massive pensions that will consume all our money within the next 10 years. The pay and pension issue is serious, as is the battle against the Metropolitan Transit Authority’s two tunnels underneath Beverly Hills High School. The outcome of both issues will determine the fate of our City. Unfortunately, we have some paid lobbyists in and around our City who keep attacking those who defend us while they promote those who would sell us out. (Just look at who paid for what.) The Metro tunnels are not an issue for Beverly High only. Just this past week, neighbors of the proposed La Cienega and Wilshire station – touted by Mayor Willie Brien as being “without controversy” – are now learning that their very existence is threatened by the massive excavation planned by Metro at that location. According to Metro, an open trench nearly 2,000 feet or more long and nearly 100 feet wide will take all of Wilshire for up to seven years. Plus, the big dirt haulers 24/7 in and out. How will our signature “Restaurant Row” fare? How will the adjacent medical buildings fare? How will the historic Fox Wilshire – now the Saban Theater – survive? Metro told these people there would be no open ditch, no damage to foundations – that it will all be just fine. That is not true, as they are now learning. With Metro, when certain council candidates say: “Oh, pooh, pooh, there’s nothing wrong,” you need to look at who is supporting them. Where does their campaign money come from? Are they running to represent Beverly Hills or running “for the greater good of the region”? These are fair questions. The Courier endorsed Vice Mayor John Mirisch last week because we know for a fact where he stands. We also know where at least one of his opponents stands on this, and it is not with Beverly Hills. That conclusion will be obvious to all readers in the next few weeks, if not already obvious, based on that candidate’s own statements and votes. None of this will be spun, invented or made-up by The Courier. What we can expect, however, is that the paid mouthpieces of Beverly Hills will chime in. What you will not see, however, is any facts coming from them to back up the pandering. Our City faces these two controversies that will determine our future as a City. The Courier asks that you truly look at the facts. The Courier welcomes “Letters to the Editor.” (1)The shorter the better; (2)Refrain from personal attacks or insults; (3)Keep to one topic; (4) Do not send letters appearing elsewhere.

Rabbi Jacob Pressman THE HONEYMOON IS OVER! The millions who packed the Washington mall to witness the swearing-in of President Barack Hussein Obama for a second term have returned to their usual routines. The cleaning crew has picked up the trash left by the cheering crowd. The Democrats, Republicans and what have you have resumed their bickering about the policies of our government and plans are being laid out for the next national elections two years ahead. The unwieldy wheels of governing this great republic have returned to their grinding, and the citizens have now turned their attention to the sports, market, Oscars and climate, which regularly claim our attention. What a wonderful country is ours! We never seem to lack some national issue to command our attention so we can choose up sides and take opposing positions to those of us who care. The statistics of the percentage of us who engage in these activities vary little. There is a huge body of our citizens who never seem to get involved and leave it to the rest of us to make the decisions that affect their lives, seemingly confident that the activists will do the right thing. One statistic, which encourages me, is the age of the activists seems to be dropping. The young adults who register and become involved in the political process are increasing in numbers. Candidates are no longer simply senior citizens already entrenched in politics. I see more fresh-faced and college bred politically active younger candidates surfacing to take the place of some who have been in office too long. I see the emergence of people of all the races and colors eager to serve in the public arena. Unless the Old Guard stonewalls them, we shall soon find them a majority among our political leaders. The above gives me hope for our great republic and regret I shall be here to witness it. But – carry on without me!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR On behalf of the board of directors of the Beverly Hills Education Foundation, we want to acknowledge and thank all of those who made the recent grand opening of Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar in Beverly Hills a great success. Proceeds from the evening topped $45,000, all of which directly benefits our children and their schools. The evening would not have been possible without the support and generosity of Fleming's B.H.’s Operating Partner Tai Nguyen, Chef Partner Brandon Powell, Rich Frank and the Frank Family Vineyards, plus the support received from The Courier, our media partner and co-sponsor. A special thank you also goes to all of our attendees for their continued and steadfast support of the BHEF in our pursuit to fund a well-rounded, robust public education for all students in Beverly Hills public schools. We could not do the work that we do without all of you! Annette Saleh, BHEF President Matthew Zarcufsky, BHEF Executive Director ****** I want to sincerely thank Lili Bosse and John Mirisch for doing an incredible job of looking out for Beverly Hills and its residents. A few weeks back I received a letter from the BHPD regarding the City's possible intention to install an AT&T Outdoor Distributed Antenna System. The letter explains AT&T would not be installing just one antenna but close to 100 all over our neighborhood. (I wonder what other cell companies have done in B.H.). An attached map indicated where the installations would be placed. When I read point #14, I grew quite alarmed as it talks about the RF Radio Frequency fields, and the radiation exposure of just one antenna. Well, if one emitted radiation how much radiation exposure would 100 be doing? Shouldn't this be considered a health concern since it is the cumulative effect of radiation whichposes health risk. Lili Bosse and John Mirisch really listened and are now researching my inquiry. They deserve a great deal of credit for making sure we are living in a healthy, safe environment. Rachel Kashi ****** Reading the entire pay/benefit packages of employees of the City of Beverly Hills which includes the unbelievable retirement packages of every City employee,(3 percent of the average of the highest 3 years multiplied by each year of service up to a maximum of 30 years service or 90 percent of salary), is both disgraceful and shocking. This is especially so knowing Beverly Hills renters and property owners will ultimately carry the burden of paying these pension benefits that dwarf the retirement of all but the very richest private citizens. To me it brings to mind the lyrics of the song Everybody Knows by gifted singer/songwriter Leonard Cohen: “Everybody knows that the dice are loaded....Everybody knows the good guys lost....Everybody knows the fight was fixed....The poor stay poor, the rich get rich....Thats how it goes....Everybody knows.” To correct these unaffordable, unfair benefit packages will not be easy. The entire City bureaucracy with few brave exceptions will fight against any lessening of these golden packages on steroids. They will use disinformation, threats, work stoppages and God knows what else in this coming fight. They will be aided by their usual City Council allies who always seem to know what is best for the City, the cost be damned.Thank heaven The Courier continues to expose important issues like the Roxbury Park boondoggle and this even more important issue threatening to bankrupt either the City or its citizens–or perhaps both.
