By Victoria Talbot For almost six decades, La Scala has remained on top. Just named No. 8 in Hollywood Reporter’s 25 Top Power Lunch spots in Los Angeles, the legend only grows with time.

Since 1956, La Scala has been a Beverly Hills tradition. Its popularity has endured through generations, through trends and through time to emerge as a beacon of culinary truth, owning its turf with La Scala founder Jean Leon absolute certainty.

By Laura Coleman On Tuesday night, dozens of armed and unarmed professionals from Beverly Hills and Santa Monica (SAMO) came to Beverly Hills High School for the Norman basketball team’s first home game of the season against Santa Monica High School. The first away game, on Friday, Jan. 31, which the Normans won 67-55, resulted in a BHHS student going to the hospital after a fight with a SAMO student and the authorities and school districts intended to prevent another potentially violent interaction.

“I personally contacted a captain at Santa Monica PD to discuss the upcoming game,” Beverly Hills Police Capt. Mark Rosen said.

In addition to Beverly Hills and Santa Monica police, both schools had their unarmed high school (see ‘POLICE AT BHHS’ page 18)

Beverly Hills Heritage: La Scala BHPD Tells Parents: "Your Still Serves It “Just Like Home” Children Are Safe"

Part 23 in a series on Beverly Hills residents who have grown with the Centennial City.

By Laura Coleman Eunice Markman, 94, has a twinkle in her eye when she shares certain stories that have long stayed hidden in her rat trap brain. For the past 50 years she has been a Beverly Hills renter, living in the same classic French Normandy apartment on Doheny Drive.

The triplex was originally built in 1936 by a widow with three sons who used two of the units for rental income and had a stipulation that the building would not be sold until all three boys were deceased. After the final son died in 2005 and the new owner tried to evict Eunice in an effort to raise the unit’s enviable rent, the City declared her a tenant-for-life. (see ‘EUNICE MARKMAN’ page 2)

By Laura Coleman and Victoria Talbot The Beverly Hills community comprised of parents, Board of Education members Lewis Hall, Noah Margo and VP Howard Goldstein, Superintendent Gary Woods, Councilman Willie Brien and Interim City Manager Mahdi Aluzri, as well as at least 20 police officers, convened last Thursday evening at the City's public library to hear what the Beverly Hills Police Department had to say about safety in schools.

"We have no concerns about the safety of your children," said Capt. Mark Rosen, who as Police Captain of the Field Services Division, manages field staffing. "We will do everything we can to keep the kids safe; to keep the community safe."

Rosen, who served as the main BHPD spokesperson for the evening, is an alumnus of Beverly Hills High School and highlighted that the police force is also made up of parents of students who attend Beverly Hills schools.

The evening was ostensi-

bly intended as a community event to inform parents and allay concerns related to, among other issues, January’s two telephonic bomb threats at BHHS, the lack of private security at the schools, and the absence of constant onsite visible police presence. Police Chief Dave Snowden, who worked as a paid consultant to BHUSD’s previous private security firm EBi, assembled most of his BHPD command staff - including Rosen, Executive Officer Lt. Lincoln Hoshino, Community Relations Sgt. Max Subin, Div. Cmdr. Erick Lee, and Capt.

Tony Lee. The two-hour long meeting was rife with misunderstandings and tangents.

EUNICE MARKMAN (Continued from page 1)

“At the time it was very safe and low key,” Eunice described of the area she, her husband, and four children (her eldest daughter was in Europe at the time) moved into in February 1955. “Doheny....was a very lovely offshoot road, and then it turned into a freeway.”

Back then, there was Mary Ann’s beauty parlor across the street, where she went every Thursday. At the corner of Olympic Boulevard where the Starbucks now stands, there was a gas station; and across the street Roxbury Drug Store was once a beauty store. The fried chicken goodness of Chicken Delite was just a stone’s throw away. Her children attended Horace Mann and Beverly Hills High School and all still today count friends they met while students.

Born Dec. 31, 1920 in Chicago’s Michael Reese Hospital to a butcher who owned multiple shops and a mother who eventually became a travelling saleswoman following her divorce 15 years later, Eunice learned early that she was responsible for her well-being.

In high school, she studied arts, eventually getting a job working for a dentist while still a student. Her mother, an early feminist, travelled by train during the week to sell Wella hair products.

After the 19-year-old Eunice (quite the blonde bombshell) broke her 11 p.m. curfew following a dance at her synagogue, her mother put her on a train to Houston to stay with relatives. What Eunice’s mother didn’t know, was that her cousins were a bit on the wild side, and within two days, Eunice had a date.

As fate would have it, the double date between a pair of cousins and a pair of brothers was a huge success; Eunice ended up marrying her cousin’s date and her cousin married the other brother.

“It happened so fast,” Eunice recalled of their overwhelming love. “He was quite the guy and so smart.”

Manford Susman, whom Eunice married two months after their first date on May 24, 1942, was a wildcatter in the Texas oil business and a captain in the Air Force. The couple had five children: Su-

knew I was really fortunate.”

GiGi is completely unpretentious and at ease in her restaurant. La Scala delivers consistent quality where people can dine in comfort.

“I feel blessed, keeping the tradition my dad started. When people come here, they feel at home. Its comfortable,” she says.

But they all have to wait for lunch; La Scala does not take reservations. “We treat everybody the same. ‘Celebrities, but not celebrity-driven.’”

Jean Leon had a remarkable life, arriving in America as a 17-year-old stowaway on a ship. He soon became a bus boy and then a waiter at New York’s Villa Capri restaurant, where he served celebrities like Joe DiMaggio, Grace Kelly and James Dean.

“Dean was supposed to open a restaurant with him. He believed in my father,” said GiGi, “He was going to be my brother’s godfather.” Then on Sept. 30, 1955, Dean was killed in a tragic accident. Leon found the money, and at 22, he attracted celebrity clients right out of the gate.

“He came from nothing and he ended up serving five presidents. He just did it anyway,” said GiGi. Jean Leon served President John F. Kennedy. Kennedy frequently had Leon and his chef, Emilio flown in for state dinners.

La Scala fans included the iconic and the bombastic. Leon served the Beatles and the Burtons and was one of the last people to see Marilyn Monroe alive - he delivered her food that night.

In the 1950s, after a few years in Hancock Park, the family moved into Beverly Hills. Eunice recalls her dapper husband walking around the City in his Tony Lama boots, bolo tie and a hat. The family then moved to Holmby Hills for seven years, then to Cheviot Hills, where they got involved with Temple Isaiah, becoming one of the congregation’s first families. Three years later, they moved to Palm Springs, largely because of Eunice’s allergies and her sons’ asthma. That penultimate landing spot lasted for two years, until her husband was diagnosed with cancer and they returned to Beverly Hills for his radiation treatment, taking up residence in the Doheny apartment she continues to rent.

Eunice was 46 when her husband died in 1967. She got a job at the Richard J. Levy showroom on Melrose, selling wholesale jewelry. It was the first time since she had worked since her twomonth cameo as a bookkeeper in a root beer factory, between the time she arrived in Houston and got hitched.

Eight years after her husband’s death, one of Eunice’s cousins introduced her to a neighbor in Chicago, Morton J. Markman.

“He gave up his business to move up here and marry a widow with five kids,” she said.

Once Morton moved into the family home, he promptly got a job at I. Magnin’s.

“They were delighted to have him,” she said. And the family was delighted to have the 30-percent employee discount throughout the 1970s and 1980s, until Morton’s death in 1988.

The following year, Eunice started working at Pacific Paper Box, which was owned by her her younger brother by 23 months, Joseph “Bud” Erhardt. She had never once driven on the freeway; and for the next 17 years, Eunice drove 50 miles across three freeways five days a week working in collections.

“I worked there until I couldn’t go to work anymore and couldn’t drive,” she said.

Eunice has 11 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. people became part of the family,” explains GiGi. Besides the chopped salad and the legendary spaghetti bolognese. GiGi loves the beef and cheese lasagna and the mozzarella marinara.

GiGi was a cashier, a server and a prep-chef. Favorite patrons include Suzanne Pleshette (“She was the last of the characters”), David Janssen (“Very Nice”), Julie Andrews (“I was so starstruck!”) and Alice Cooper (“He’d come in and sit with all of us; it was so fun!”).

“Everybody’s been in, from Rhianna to Justin Bieber to Barbra Streisand. And that’s just this week. But the restaurant is the star,” she quips.

“You have to be respectful of everyone,” says Leon’s daughter. GiGi doesn’t reveal that she is the owner when she is inhouse. She goes undercover to see how guests treat her staff. Bad behavior may see you out the door. “Treat people nicely,” she says, reminding us her business is 95-percent repeat customers.

GiGi Leon says that her busiest time is Thanksgiving to Oscars’ season, and “we are crazy-busy.”

Holidays shine at La Scala and GiGi decorates the restaurant herself. Valentine’s Day is her favorite. La Scala is transformed into a romantic paradise, with heartshaped dishes and a festive ceiling in a sea of balloons. “We don’t overbook so people are relaxed,” she says. “It’s really pretty.”

Reservations will require a deposit, but that ensures the quality her customers anticipate. “It’s pretty for people to take pictures,” she says. And that is why they come for Valentine’s Day, year after year. “The formula works. No matter the changes, every decade. We’re bigger than ever. We never go for trendy but for classic.”

Emergency Meeting Could Save Historic Buildings From Developers

WELCOMING THE ROOKIES– The Beverly Hills Fire Department welcomed six new firefighters at a badge pinning ceremony held at Station 1. After completing a 3-week orientation that included live fire training, vehicle extrication and other Beverly Hills specific familiarizations, they received their BHFD badges.

By Victoria Talbot The Beverly Hills City Council called a special meeting Thursday, after The Courier’s print deadline, to decide if they want to file an appeal of the city of Los Angeles approval of a vesting tentative tract map and adoption of a mitigated negative declaration to allow construction of a 31unit condominium project at 332-336 N. Oakhurst Dr. In a case where an historic property is partly in Los Angeles and partly in Beverly Hills, L.A. city planners have determined unilaterally that they can develop the site, overriding Beverly Hills’ request for an Environmental Impact Report.

About 50 residents came to the hastily called meeting to

Way and Third Street, and the north side of North Santa Monica Boulevard between Canon and Crescent Drives in the bus cutout.

The committee will propose a weight limit in the Business Triangle that will effectively restrict tour buses from the area. Said Julie Wagner, CEO of the BH Convention and Vis-

itors Bureau, tour buses bring 24 percent, or 1.5 million of the City’s visitors, who spend an average $137 in their twohour visits. Wagner says tour bus drivers will eliminate the City as a destination, preferring the ease of other destination shopping areas.

Board Of Education Denies El Rodeo Principal Allen’s Request To Implement School Uniforms

By Laura Coleman The Beverly Hills Board of Education shot down a proposal by El Rodeo Principal Kevin Allen to adopt a policy requiring the school's K-8 students to wear uniforms comprised primarily of khakis, spirit wear and shirts in navy, red and white. In order to adopt the policy for El Rodeo, the board would have needed to vote to change the current dress code which now governs all five Beverly Hills public schools.

“There was (previously) horrific backlash in this community to the current dress code we have in place,” said Board President Brian Goldberg, who like the majority of his colleagues, was hesitant to enact a policy that could potentially become a distraction.

Allen, who orchestrated a mini fashion-show at Tuesday night’s meeting of around a dozen El Rodeo students dressed in clothing allowed under the proposed policy, presented the Board with a well thought-out plan for adopting uniforms, which he said would increase academic achievement.

“What we're really getting at [is], do students feel a sense of connectedness and safety at school?,” he explained.

By Laura Coleman The Beverly Hills High School Robotics team, MorTorq, is knee-deep into designing this year’s mechanical contender at next month’s L.A. Regional Tournament for FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology.) For the last two years, the Beverly Hills team has taken the top prize at the regional competition, the prestigious Chairman’s Award, and this year’s 53-member team has every intention of continuing that tradition.

On Jan. 3, the team received this year’s FIRST game, “Recycle Rush,” and has been working furiously to design

and construct a crate-stacking robot from blueprints to final assembly in the six-week time allotment, in addition to crafting a business plan and marketing strategy. And this is the team’s final week to get it right.

“Our robotics program is really unique,” explained Robotics co-president Gabriella Shofet. “We go beyond the robot in multiple fashions.”

Beyond the competition, MorTorq’s primary goal is to spread science and technology to inspire younger generations.

Throughout the year, the team engages in projects that give back to the community, such as a recent visit to the Ronald (see ‘BHHS ROBOTICS’ page 7)

“Students will be thinking less about what they're wearing and more about what they're learning,” said Hall said.

“I think it does promote a professional setting...where the focus is on schools and academic success...It could be very beneficial.”

Before the item came up for discussion, two parents voiced their opposition to the proposed policy, questioning

whether adopting such a policy violated students’ First Amendment rights. (It does not.)

Boardmember Noah Margo pointed out that some students already don't follow the current dress code and he questioned the efficacy of implementing a new policy that might have parents and students willfully refusing to follow the new policy.

“It's a complete culture change in the minds of parents,” he said.

Healthy City Lunch & Learn Series Concludes With Two Final Events: Feb. 18 And March 18

By Matt Lopez Those looking to learn, while enjoying a healthy lunch, should mark Feb. 18 and March 18 on their calendars.

That’s the date Beverly Hills will wrap up its successful “Healthy City Lunch & Learn” series.

The monthly events have been a part of Mayor Lili Bosse’s Healthy City initiative.

Feb. 18’s event will be

themed “A Healthy Mind”, with speakers from the Beverly Hills Public Library and Human Services Division discussing interactive tools, online resources and education and art programs in the City.

That event will meet on the second floor of the library, at 444 N. Rexford Dr. On March 18, Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Alex Stettin-

ski and Beverly Hills Conference & Visitors Bureau CEO Julie Wagner will speak about a “Healthy Business Community.” That workship will be held at the City Hall Municipal Gallery at 455 Rexford Dr. Past workships have included information on heart disease, fitness, stress, finances and emergency preparedness.

‘A Day At AltaSea’ At The Port Of Los Angeles

By Laura Coleman In an age where our shores are sufficiently desirable to warrant traffic jams even in the water, “A Day at AltaSea” was a chance to see a beautiful vision of how the future can be, thanks to the generosity of people such as Beverly Hills’ own Wallis Annenberg, chairman/ president/CEO of the Annenberg Foundation, who Wednesday announced she was donating a $20 million matching gift to help develop the proposed innovation hub in The Port of Los Angeles.

At a luncheon celebration, that included a welcome by L.A. City Councilman Joe Buscaino, L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti enthusiastically dedicated Leonard Aube Way, a path within the planned 35-acre campus that will take over a waterfront pier.

“The ocean may be the most precious public resource we have, a life source unlike any other on the planet,” Annenberg said. “AltaSea is about uniting business, academia, and our scientific community to turn the Port of L.A.’s public waterfront into the mecca for jobs, discovery and sustainability that it should be."

Located in the nation's busiest port, AltaSea is envisioned as a hub for urban, ocean-based businesses that commercialize scientific breakthroughs and emerging technologies to create oceanrelated products and services.

Prior to his work as a fine artist, Overby, who died in L.A. in 1993 from Hodgkin's disease, was an accomplished graphic designer who created logos and other graphic materials for Toyota, Boeing, MGM, IBM and The Museum of Modern Art. It wasn’t until after his death that his widow, Linda Burnham, was successful in bringing him into the spotlight of the artistic community.

Through the Gates at Virginia Robinson Gardens: Tips For Winter Rose Pruning

By Tim Lindsay, Superintendent, Virginia Robinson Gardens and Founder Joan Selwyn As the first lady of Beverly Hills, Virginia Robinson was legendary in an era of formality and glamour. Gardening was her passion, and the elegant rose was predictably among her favorite flowers. Each day a fresh, single stemmed pink rose was picked by the major domo and placed in a silver vase where she dined. Often the rose selected was Old Blush, a pink rose, originally cultivated in China several centuries ago. JOSEPHS COAT Visitors to the 6.5-acre Virginia Robinson Estate in Beverly Hills CLIMBER ROSE— can feast their eyes on not one, but two rose gardens. Some The the distinctively 400 imported hybrid tea roses are cultivated in the “Cut Rose bright colors of this Garden” and over 150 color-themed roses ranging from light rose inside the pink to dark pink with accents of red grow in the “Display Robinson Gardens will Garden.” be in full bloom at this Mrs. Robinson was well known for her gala parties.

Mary Pickford and Mae West were life long friends and regular guests. Call 310-550 2087 to schedule your guided tour.

Tips to Plant Roses: In our mild climate, January and February are the ideal months to prune roses, which stimulates new foliage growth and ultimately results in more roses in May and June. Before pruning, spray your tools with isopropyl alcohol to prevent the spread of disease between rose bushes. When pruning hybrid tea roses, first use loppers to remove unwanted canes. Next, use hand pruners to shape the bush by reducing height and width by about half. Finally, remove and discard old foliage, as it harbors rust, black spot and fungal diseases. When new foliage appears, select an organic and inorganic fungicide to prevent disease; simultaneously, begin your fertilizer program as roses require regular feeding in order to produce abundant flowers. Roses will be prolific bloomers if watered deeply just twice weekly. Water just the roots of the roses and not the foliage in order to avoid leaf diseases and accelerated aging of the flowers. Set your irrigation timer to just before dawn in order to conserve water.

would make a determination about a property located partially in Beverly Hills without the input of the City of Beverly Hills. Whatever the conditions allowed by L.A., Beverly Hills has the right and responsibility to protect its residents,” said Vice Mayor Julian Gold.

“The City, including our planning staff were unaware of the fact the city of L.A. has given their approval of the project,“ said Interim City Manager Mahdi Aluzri.

“The last information we had from their staff before receiving this decision was that the application was on hold at the request of the project's developer pending discussion with our planning staff on how to address the concerns Beverly Hills raised on the environmental assessment. Our planning staff is currently reviewing the decision and we will be discussing the matter with the city attorney's office to determine possible options for response.”

Aluzri put together the meeting Wednesday evening.

The city of Los Angeles attempted to impose its will over

the citizens of Beverly Hills–much as in the days when Beverly Hills opted not to be annexed by L.A. during the water battles early last century.

This time its not water they want. Its Beverly Hills - a City with a reputation so valuable that nearby neighborhoods refer to themselves as “Beverly Hills–adjacent,” to gain cache.

But that's not the only reason to be alarmed. In a formal filing in April of last year with the Los Angeles Department of Planning, the applicant was said to be engaging in irregular conduct towards tenants. “According to present and former tenants of 332, 334 and 336 North Oakhurst, the current applicant and former applicant have taken actions against tenants that are violations of both code and law,” including Ellis Act violations, denying relocation assistance, stakeholder intimidations, and more.

This is the same property where an overly eager developer boarded up the buildings with tenants still residing on the property last month.

Says Mirisch, the developers are probably anxious to capitalize on that but not so anxious to play by the City's rules. “Our code says it may be

historical.”

In fact, the buildings are the work of Edith Mortensen Northman, described in 1937 by the Los Angeles Times as “Los Angeles’ only woman architect.” Born in 1893 in Copenhagen, Denmark, Northmark studied architecture at USC from 1927 to 1930. She built an exceptional career, even during the Depression, designing hundreds of projects.

Working for Union Oil Co., she designed a number of gas stations, as well as single-family homes in Los Feliz, Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Hancock Park. Many of her clients were in the film industry, including as a consultant to Sam Goldwyn when he was producing Dorothy Parker's Woman Chases Man (1937), about a female architect. Northman spent WWII with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Afterwards she worked in Los Angeles and Palm Springs until she was stricken with Parkinson's disease.

The street’s buildings could be part of an historic district; it seems many building owners like their corner of Beverly Hills much as it stands. The survey team for the 2014 Historic Resources Survey identified it

as a potential historic district, “eligible for a listing in the National Register , the California Register and as a City of Beverly Hills historic district,” said consultant Christine Lazzaretto in a May 29, 2014 memo.

Built 1930-1939, the tract was originally laid out by the Rodeo Land and Water Company. “All the residences contribute to the district's significance, making North Oakhurst Residential Historic District a cohesive representation of Period Revival style multi-family residences.”

No such consideration is currently in the pipeline but it is part of the conversation. If the project goes forward, the building will become condominiums, further diminishing the City's rental inventory.

At the Los Angeles Conservancy, Adrian Fine said: “The Conservancy believes an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is clearly warranted in this case as historic resources are significantly impacted by the proposed project. Substantial evidence has been presented that demonstrates that these buildings contribute to a potential historic district, therefore there is a need to consider preservation alternatives.”

“The approval from Los Angeles entitles them to build on the L.A. portion, but it has imposed conditions that they get clearances from Beverly Hills before they start construction. So until the Beverly Hills Planning Commission approves something on the Beverly Hills portion, there isn’t a lot the developer can do. Additionally, we will not issue demolition permits until they have approval from the Planning Commission,” said Ryan Gohlich, senior planner for the City of Beverly Hills.

The City of Beverly Hills must thus approve any demolition or construction within the City. See www.bhcourier.com Friday for any updates.

Stone Canyon Crawls For Kids

By Victoria Talbot Bel-Air residents celebrated the 2nd annual Stone Canyon Crawl, an event to benefit the United Friends of the Children (UFC), raising money to provide enduring change for kids in Los Angeles’ foster care system.

With its financial support, UFC nurtures kids with real, consistent and stable support amidst the uncertainty and neglect that is the fate of children lost in a broken bureaucracy.

Spearheaded by Frederic Rosen and UFC Board Member Nadine SchiffRosen. Crawl participants started the evening with cocktails and appetizers at the home of Laurie and Jon Feltheimer, presented by Chinois on Main.

“Nothing makes us happier than opening our home to benefit the spectacular kids of UFC. And to have our friends and neighbors volunteer to do the same, it leaves us all feeling very blessed,” said Schiff-Rosen.

A bus appeared at the appointed hour to spirit the crowd away to their next stop at the Rosens’ home. There, under a surreal canopy that transformed the space into a five-star dining room, Il Pastaio’s Chef Giacomino Drago presented a superb dinner with wine pairings from Cardinale of Napa Valley.

The Strand House’s Pastry Chef Stephanie Franz provided sumptuous desserts at the final stop, the gracious home of Leslie Weisberg and James Hyman.

All the efforts and food were donated to help some of Los Angeles’ most vulnerable youths get a leg up on the journey of life. The amazing guests who participated in the evening’s grand festivities were contributing a year of college education to at-risk kids who had a tough start in life.

Kids in foster care too often experience abuse, neglect, transience, instability and uncertainty. Most do not have

the most basic skills for life. Starting life without parents is tough.

UFC will bring help to about 1,700 children this year, said Polly Williams, president/CEO, providing them an authentic, stable connection to guide them through the process of becoming adults. In foster care, 50-percent do not graduate high school; 40-percent experience homelessness; 71-percent of girls are pregnant by the age of 21; 81-percent of males are arrested by age 24.

But with an education, everything changes.

For some children, UFC contact begins with the college readiness program from 7-12 grades. UFC provides educational guidance and consistent structured contact with caring and loving individuals over time.

By preparing foster youth to graduate from high school and possibly plan for college, UFC is dramatically improving their chances for success.

DeeDee joined the guests and told her story. In foster care most of her life, she was angry and disconnected by the time of her first UFC contact in 7th grade.

UFC reached out to her and helped DeeDee into the college readiness program – but it was hard. She still faced many disappointments. UFC stuck with her, as did her counselor.

UFC provides up to five years to obtain a 4-year degree, and she made it.

When children in foster care reach 18, they are emancipated. Most do not do well. UFC’s Pathways program provides youths 18-24 with housing, a supportive environment and positive role models to teach skills like budgeting, looking for work, writing a resume and how to behave in a job interview. For Pathways youths, 81-percent leave and find stable housing.

All youths who get four years with UFC college-readiness program will graduate from high school with 97-percent college-bound. An astonishing 78percent of them will obtain a bachelors degree.

“The Stone Canyon Crawl brought together neighbors for an evening of fun in support of a good cause. Every generous couple that attended represents a foster youth who will be able to go to college next year as a result. We’re so thankful to Nadine and Fred Rosen, our hosts, and chefs for a wonderful evening in support of United Friends of the Children.”

ARTS & E N T E RTA I NSupport M EGroup N T 3G At LAMOTH Hosts Museum Fundraiser

HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME–Comedian/civil rights activist Dick Gregory (center) was presented with the 2,542nd star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Monday. He is congratulated by actor Chris Tucker (right) and Jarvee Hutcherson, president of Beverly Hills-based Multicultural Motion Picture Association.

The legendary comic was honored with special tributes by Coretta Scott King, Stevie Wonder, Isaac Hayes and Cicely Tyson at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C in 2000, appearing in numerous films, writing 14 books and completing 15 comedy albums. He is listed as #82 on the Comedy Central network's list of “The 100 Greatest Stand-Ups of All Time.”

Last week, 3G at LAMOTH hosted a silent auction at the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust (LAMOTH),“ A Night of History and Humanity,” the organization’s second event at the museum.

The auction raised more than $1,300 for the Urgent Need Fund through Jewish Family Services. The organization was founded last year by grandchildren of Holocaust survivors seeking to play a direct role in shaping the future of Holocaust remembrance and education.

The organization is housed by LAMOTH and shares the museum’s dedication to Holocaust commemoration. With more than 80 individuals in attendance, “the evening represented the commitment of a younger generation to supporting elderly survivors, and to remembering their stories as a community,” said Executive Board Member Guy Lipa.

“It was great to see so many new faces discovering the museum and the mission of 3G,” Lipa said. “The event was designed to get out the message that LAMOTH is not just a museum that tells the history of the Holocaust, but a place where all walks of life can come to contemplate what it means to be a citizen of humanity. We could not have imagined a better and more receptive turnout and look forward to continuing to engage the community at large.”

To Improve Patient Access To Top Vision Specialists Two of the nation’s top eye institutes have united in an affiliation that will improve patients’ access to leading vision specialists.

UCLA’s Stein Eye Institute and the Doheny Eye Institute — both created by families whose legacies helped shape L.A. — have joined to offer superior patient care, vision research and training for future eye specialists. The affiliation adds 14 clinicians and researchers from Doheny, formerly associated with USC, to the ophthalmology faculty at UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine.

“The Stein–Doheny affiliation is a beautiful fit,” said Dr. Bartly Mondino, director of the Stein Eye Institute and chair of ophthalmology at the Geffen School. “We share similar missions and have a long history of collaboration. This partnership expands UCLA’s footprint tremendously by providing patients with greater access to the top doctors in cornea, retina, glaucoma, neuroophthalmology and oculoplastics.”

As part of the agreement, Doheny’s clinics will join the UCLA Health network. Two Doheny Eye Center UCLA sites will expand community access to specialty care in newly renovated offices in Arcadia and Fountain Valley. A third clinic,

in a new medical–surgical suite in Pa s a d e n a , will act as Doheny Eye C e n t e r UCLA’s primary hub.

E a c h organization will preserve its identity while combining clini- Dr. Bartly Mondino cal and teaching operations. Both institutes have earned international recognition for their patient care and research. U.S. News & World Report’s 2015 “Best Hospitals” survey ranked the combined Stein Eye and Doheny Eye institutes as the No. 5 center for ophthalmology based on feedback from specialists in the field.

“Since our establishment in 1947, the Doheny Eye Institute has worked to become the premier vision research and education eye institute in the world through the discovery of new knowledge, innovative eye-care therapies and the education of the leaders of ophthalmology and vision science,” said Ed Landry, chair of the Doheny Eye

Institute board of directors.

“UCLA and the Stein Eye Institute share our values and high standards for education, patient care and research. We expect that the combination of our Ed Landry programs will result in even greater recognition and accomplishments.”

“We are honored to work with the Doheny Eye Institute to improve patient care throughout Southern California, while simultaneously extending the Stein Eye Institute’s research and educational outreach, which hold immense value for the nation and world,” said Dr. David Feinberg, president of the UCLA Health System, CEO of the UCLA Hospital System and associate vice chancellor of the Geffen School of Medicine. “We appreciate this rare and unique opportunity to strengthen relationships with our distinguished colleagues at Doheny, many of whom have long collaborated with us in serving the Los Angeles community.”

institutional commitment of $50 million to expand its Center for Personalized Medicine. The investment in leading-edge research and innovation will help unlock the human genome’s potential with the goal of making diagnoses more effective, therapies more targeted and health care more personalized for children, says Richard D. Cordova, FACHE, CHLA president/CEO. CHLA’s board recently approved the investment in the center, to be disbursed over the next five years. The institution will seek an additional $50 million in philanthropic funding from the community to support the translation of research outcomes in the lab into bedside care for infants, children and adolescents.

Personalized, or precision, medicine is a revolutionary way of practicing medicine in which a patient’s biological profile, as determined by his or her genome, is used to develop individualized lifelong health care.

“In the near future, a newborn’s genome will be sequenced at birth (or even before), permitting clinicians to plan a lifetime of personalized, preventive health care that focuses on preventing, rather than reacting to, illness,”

executive director of CHLA’s Center for Personal ized Medicine and head of the hospital’s Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine.

“The area Alexander R. Judkins, M.D. where CHLA will be investing its efforts is in taking research outcomes and innovations and translating them into improvements in bedside care.”

The center is led by Judkins and will be part of the hospital’s Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. The Center’s team includes physicians, scientists, genetic counselors and internationally recognized staff in the fields of genomics, clinical genetics, bioinformatics and molecular diagnostics.

CHLA will also explore strategic collaborations with academic, government and health-care organizations to share resources and expand the impact that the center can have on the care of children.

CHLA’s investment in the center will focus on three areas with the greatest potential to impact children’s health: can-

focus on pediatric cancer. The Vision Center and the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at CHLA have already developed a new gene sequencing test that will identify all changes related to the retinoblastoma gene (RB1) in eye cancer patients, using leading-edge genomic sequencing technology and bioinformatics.

The victory pushed the Normans to 20-5 and 9-0 in league, one win away from their first undefeated run through the Ocean League in what Coach Jarvis Turner said was the first time “in a long time, maybe ever.”

Police presence was heavy before, during and after the game, on the heels of an altercation between students from the rival schools after the two teams played on Jan. 23 at Santa Monica. Cell phone video went viral of a brawl between students in the parking lot following the game, that included punches being thrown at BHHS students; headlights and taillights of one BHHS student’s car were broken.

Both Beverly Hills and Santa Monica PD were on the scene Tuesday, and after the game large crowds of students spilled out into the streets near the school, with some students jawing back and forth. There were reports of minor scuffles between students. At least one person was detained briefly for questioning by police, but no arrests were made. As of Wednesday, there was no reported damage to any vehicles or property.

“There were some instances of verbal disputes but no reports of any physical altercations. One juvenile was briefly detained as a result of a dispute but was quickly released when it was determine no crime had occurred.”

BHPD Lt. Lincoln Hoshino said.

The game itself was tight early, although the Normans led wire-to-wire.

The team nursed a 22-16 lead at halftime, but blew the game open in the second half thanks to sharp shooting from players like Trevor Bergher (9 points).

In a much-hyped battle of big men, BHHS’ 6-10 Arizona-bound Chance Comanche went toe-to-toe with Santa Monica’s 7-foot junior Jayce Johnson.

Comanche had 7 points, 7 rebounds and five blocks. Johnson grabbed 11 rebounds but was held scoreless by Comanche.

“These guys have been great all year, and have been committed to the team, they are deserving of all the success they’ve had,” Turner said. “We’ve got a great group of guys who played together and wanted to win.”

Enjoy ‘Wellness From The Ground Up’ With Treatments From The Spa On Rodeo t The Spa on Rodeo, Dr. Bobby Pourziaee has created an oasis based on the idea—“Wellness From the Ground Up.” After moving his podiatric practice from Westwood to Beverly Hills 2.5 years ago, Pourziaee decided to open a spa next door, tucked away on the Garden Level of The Rodeo Collection, where he could share his interest in alternative therapies.

The full-service spa offers foot, hand, massage and skin-revision treatments incorporating aromatherapy, foot reflexology, light therapy and more.

Since he knows the importance of feet, all treatments start with a ritual foot soak with detoxifying chlorophyll and coconut milk. “The benefits of herbal soaking are surprisingly beneficial to overall health,” Pourziaee says.

Skin Revision Treatments “are more than just a typical facial,” Pourziaee adds. Since its a “resultsoriented” spa, clients meet the with Paramedical Esthetician to develop a skincare plan, whether it’s for acne management or anti-aging. “We work to develop a relationship with our clients.” Pourziaee says.

To provide clients the best, the spa is the flagship U.S. carrier for the DMK, Danné Montague-King skincare line. “They’re tested and science based; and I have a scientific back-

ground,” Pourziaee says. “And they really work.”

Popular in Europe and Australia for 40 years, the treatments and products include DMK Enzyme Therapy, Instant Lift Treatment, Pro Alpha Six-layer Peel, Eye Tone Treatment and body treatments including Full Body Enzyme Therapy and Body Sculpting Wrap.

Custom massages mean clients can combine styles—like Swedish, deep tissue, lymphatic drainage, sports massage and more—to met their needs and goals.

The Nirvana experience combines therapies and cranial sacral treatment, “massage of the scalp to open energy channels for healing.”

With all the pedicures, the emphasis, Pourziaee says, is on sterilization and cleanliness, following procedures to prevent infections.

Additional spa amenities include steam rooms and waterfall showers.

Pourziaee, who sees patients for such problems as poor circulation, neuropathy, bunions, and hammer toes, is certified by the American Board of Podiatric Surgery and holds membership with professional organizations including the American Board of Podiatric Sports Medicine and the International Aesthetic Foot Society.

The weekly update of events for the Southland area.

POLICE AT BHHS (Continued from page 1)

security details, along with dozens of administrators from both schools were onsite at the high school and around the campus.

“The last time it wasn't even about the game,” said BHHS Senior Class President Daniel Newman. “I feel like [Tuesday] was much better. We weren't attacking each other or the crowd.”

SMPD Sgt. Rudy Camarena confirmed that his department is currently investigating last month’s situation. SMMUSD publicist Gail Pinsker said her district would decide what to do with the students now under investigation if their actions violate Education Code, as opposed to Penal Code.

BHPD Lt. Lincoln Hoshino said there were no reports of any physical altercations on Tuesday , aside from “some instances of verbal disputes” and one juvenile who was detained. Rosen said SMPD intervened when one Santa Monica juvenile was seen

SCHOOL SECURITY (Continued from page 1)

the topic was dropped since it was not related to specific school security measures.

One mother voiced concern that in fact, BHHS students had not known what to do during last month’s two bomb threats.

Beverly Hills Unified School District Superintendent Gary Woods, who learned about the meeting three days before it occurred when BHPD invited the community to the event via Nixle, assured parents that the school district has properly trained its students and staff in effective evacuation protocols working in tandem with the police.

In both instances, 1,700 students were evacuated without incident in a matter of minutes.

Snowden called the evacuations from the high school a “perfect example” of the cooperation between the school district and the BHPD. Rosen explained that every evacuation is different, and that students are not evacuated to the same location each time. In addition, he pointed out that evacuation is a school board function and police are primarily available to facilitate the school board's plan.

Rosen said that errors made were being used for training and retooling plans. For example, the evacuations highlighted that substitute teachers were largerly untrained on evacuation procedures. Since then, the district has been onboarding them on school evacuation procedures.

One of the evening’s most dissonant issues centered around understanding precisely who is in charge of what. Rosen emphasized that most of the responsibility lies with the Board of Education for making decisions related to safety on campus, including the hot-button issue of a private, armed security team.

Rosen insisted that the School Resource Officer (SRO) details that had been withdrawn in 2011 were not "the best use of resources" for the department and that it was incorrect that budget cuts led to the withdrawal of

BEVERLY HILLS starting scuffles with other students.

Witnesses described the scene outside the game as a cross between mob mentality and effective policing.

“It was just a moving swarm of bodies,” described Maria Belknap, who lives nearby the high school and had gone outside to walk her dog. “It reminded me of Westwood in the riots. It was 45 minutes of brawls, pushing, shouting, shoving ... The energetic sense was very troubling and that made me nervous, because it had the feeling that it could go bad very badly.”

Newman described a similar experience: “Right when we got outside, there was a huge, huge crowd,” he said. “We were all just blindly following others.”

BHHS Sophomore Nathan Anavim, who plays Point Guard on the Sophomore team, said he felt frightened walking home after the game, particularly when he witnessed five SAMO students urinate on a BHHS wall after the game.

SROs. BHPD command staff said it was primarily a tactical decision; Snowden said that some SROs grew too comfortable in their positions and would play computer games with students at the schools while on duty.

Rosen explained that if the BHUSD wants to hire another company, the BHPD will integrate with them cooperatively.

Woods said the school district continues to explore alternatives to update security.

The BHPD has positioned some 300 cameras in strategic locations to monitor the exterior activity, off campus, at all the schools. The watch commander and dispatch can tune in at any time to view exterior conditions.

When the meeting ended, it became clear that the police department is not going to assign individual SROs no matter how many officers are on staff. It was also made clear that the BHPD feels confident they can take care of any incident - but in reality, no one can stop every threat. Recent bomb threats were just threats; there was no bomb. They can, however, respond quickly as evidenced in the recent bomb threats.

Officers of the BHPD are committed to the highest level of security for the students in the BHUSD; that was the clear and consistent message for parents.

Not only are they committed, but they are competent, efficient, skilled and well-trained individuals with detailed plans for any imaginable situation.

That being said, Rosen also reminded parents that the goal is to eliminate every possible security threat.

Clearly, safety matters to the BHPD. The likelihood of a bomb threat materializing in actuality means that every such threat will always be taken seriously and protocol followed. The incidents in January are being investigated to discover the source.

Officers are increasing their patrols at schools during the vulnerable pick up/drop off periods, said Rosen. They are never far from any of the school campuses, parents were assured.

****** Dr. Gary and Mrs. Cherna Gitnick, co-founders of the Fulfillment Fund (www.fulfillment.org), a non-profit that helps make college a reality for students growing up in educationally and economically under-resourced communities, hosted the 18th annual town hall discussion on education at half time of the Super Bowl party at their Encino home.

This annual event gathers the Gitnicks’ closest friends, many of whom are politicos or other influential people in the community. During a town hall discussion, Gary proposed a goal of coming together as one group to unify the local school system, putting the children first rather than political agendas and working to find ways to get students through school by providing scholarships to all in need. ****** Essence kicked off Grammy weekend with its 6th “Black Women in Music” event, sponsored by Lincoln, Colgate Optic White and Glade, and heralding the accomplishments of emerging and established artists and influencers in the industry.

Astrology

By Holiday Mathis TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 13). You believe in family and in sacrificing for love, and that’s the reason for the beautiful event that happens in March. March also brings financial luck. April begins a study that will go on for many years. Practical wisdom will win over fancy titles in June, and you’ll be promoted. Domestic upgrades are worth the cost. Capricorn and Virgo people adore you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). People seem more interested than they should be in your choices, but that doesn’t give them the right to be nosy, bossy or controlling. Follow the old hippie maxim: “It's your thing. Do what you want to do.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). People around you will be making decisions based on the emotional tone they want more of. When you embody that tone, you’ll move them to take action, join your efforts or simply to love you.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). Your work is shaping you in remarkable ways.

It's as though the partition separating you from your work is becoming increasingly porous until you are one and the same.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). For you, territory is about feeling connected. Foreign territory is where the connection is lost. The boundaries are fuzzy at best, and that’s why it’s important that you map them in your own way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). As dangerous as it is to climb Mt. Everest, hundreds of people do it every day. You have your own version of a dangerous quest you’d like to accomplish, and this is a fine time to sort out the details and make a plan.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). In this age of unmanned space missions, drones and the like, you wish you could send a robot to perform some of today’s more tedious duties. Alas, your human touch will make all the difference to someone.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The unfortunate consequences of carrying out bad instructions must always be weighted against the rival set of unfortunate consequences that come with questioning and challenging the one giving the orders.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Even though you are impressively persuasive when dealing with rational people, there are those who can’t be reasoned with. It’s pointless to try! Remain polite, keep your distance and ignore them.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Haven’t you noticed that you often get the thing you were going for? Don’t take this for granted! On the other hand, not getting what you want can be painful, but at least it helps you appreciate your successes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). What if you believed that you are now who you most wanted to be and you knew exactly what you were doing when you decided upon it? How would that change your approach? Have confidence.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Love and happiness are the central point. If you’re not getting enough of a chance to love, be loved and pursue happiness, it’s time to rethink your lifestyle.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The rule is always to dress a step above your rank, and when you apply it, you'll be seen as someone who is going places. Such things matter today, and your execution will be flawless.

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 714-370-2727 or visit this Internet Web site w w w.

MARCIA WILSON HOBBS Another Phobia from Roger Lefkon

THE FEAR OF VALENTINE’S DAY Aside from the craving for a perfectly prepared thin crust pizza or a rich slice of Snickers chocolate cake, love is the strongest passion on earth. However there are some strong fears that go along with this wonderful feeling which emerge every Valentines Day including being rejected by your lover after following the advice of a fortune teller and saying to her “come live in my heart and pay no rent” or receiving a card that reads “Happy Valentines Day” on the front and “What are you afraid of?” on the inside and deciding how much to spend on a box of chocolates…go the drug store route or recognizing that chocolate is an instant love booster, splurge and put your money on Lady Godiva, the inspiration behind Godiva chocolates.

You may recall that in 11th century England, it was Ms. Godiva who in order to win a bet with her husband, Lord Leofric, rode naked through the streets of Coventry on a morning that the pundits at Eyewitness News had issued a “storm watch.” To the surprise of no one, the weather turned out to be sunny and mild and as Lady G. galloped past the broadcast center wrapped in nothing but her lustrous long hair she was heard to shout out to the weather man in true Clint Eastwood fashion: “you made my day.”

Another concern of mine is a repeat of the St. Valentines massacre in which six mobsters were rubbed out in the basement of a Chicago garage. While the Bugs Moran-Al Capone rivalry that sparked the executions is ancient history, I nevertheless have this reoccurring nightmare of being caught in the crossfire as cupcake zealots attempt to cut into the line at Sprinkles. But what a classy way to go, being dispatched while devouring a Red Velvet cupcake!

The thoughtt of a confrontation with Cupid (aka the Roman God of Love), also scares me. I have never understood why Cupid was chosen as the most popular symbol to represent Valentines Day. When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short, chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon! Furthermore, based on the divorce rate, it is clear to me that this fabled cherubic’s marksmanship skills with a bow and arrow were grossly exaggerated.

Flowers were considered love tokens well before St. Valentine ever appeared on the scene. As professional game show contestants know it was Bacchus, the Roman god of Wine and Joy (my kind of guy, loved wine and used Joy to clean his dishes) who linked romance and love with the fragrance of flowers, especially roses. It was Cleopatra who, on her maid’s day off, covered the floor with roses before receiving Marc Anthony and in doing so found out the hard way that roses come equipped with thorns. Elizabeth Taylor fearful of making the same mistake while filming Cleopatra covered her floor with Pussy Willows before allowing Richard Burton to step foot in her house. To show his appreciation, he removed his custom made sandals and proceeded to marry Liz... twice! Since I have a fear of germs, it is logical I would be deathly afraid of contamination from stems that reside in the soil. Consequently, I have now added Anthrophobia, an abnormal fear of flowers (fresh not dried) to my growing list of phobias.

Throughout history, there have been many great lovers; Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy, Scarlet O’Hara and Rhett Butler, Lois Lane and Superman; Napoleon and Josephine, Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley, Robin Hood and Maid Marion, Romeo and Juliet, Fred and Wilma Flintstone, the Mouses– Mickey and Minerva (who, at the urging of her William Morris Endeavor agent, changed her name to Minnie), Tarzan and Jane and when Phyllis Klein realized that she could not have Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio nor George Clooney, she turned to me and the rest is history.

I do, however, fear it is inevitable that we will someday meet the same violent fate as those irresistible lovers, Bonnie and Clyde, and be gunned down by an irate pet shop owner thinking that we were trying to kidnap his Yorkshire terrier when in fact we were simply taking him for a walk.

The terrier was last seen in a Google driverless car heading south on the 405 with the radio on and Patti Page singing How Much Is That Doggie In The Window.

Perhaps the best way to spend Valentine’s Day is at home listening to the Beatles belt out She Loves You while eating heart-shaped ravioli in a candlelit bathtub followed by a screening of My

Cartoon for The Courier

ENJOY A HAPPY AND HEALTHY VALENTINE’S DAY

Bloody Valentine, a flick with ample graphic violence and gore to justify it’s impressive body count of 37 kills and if you need an aphrodisiac to help you fall in love try the Searchers rendition of Love Potion #9. Works for me. As for those of us who have experienced a broken heart on Valentines Day, take my advice and schedule a visit with noted cardiologist P.K. Shah who knows a thing or two about mending broken hearts.

Roger Lefkon is a veteran television writer/producer, former senior executive with Merv Griffin Entertainment, and author of The World Is A Scary Place.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR We live in a litigious society and the BHUSD is not immune to this reality. Not a week goes by that I am not threatened by someone, employee, parent or community member to file a claim against the district. Living in a litigious society means you must hire attorneys to represent you when actions arise. I do not enjoy authorizing legal expenditures but also know it is necessary to defend the district’s positions.

Recently, my record and my votes to spend district funds fighting MTA have come under attack. It is not enough for me to say I oppose tunneling under southwest Beverly Hills and the Beverly Hills High School. I have actually taken action and successfully challenged the false claims by MTA that active faulting exists under BHHS and into southwest Beverly Hills properties. As a boardmember, I have voted to challenge the completeness and accuracy of environmental impact reports in both state and federal courts. It would have been much easier for me to say: “I am opposed to tunneling under the high school but we do not have the funds available to spend defending our rights and those of southwest property owners.” Instead, I backed my words with actions and am confident that the steps I have taken will strengthen our eminent domain case and that the district and Measure E will recover most if not all of the cost associated with challenging the MTA’s false claims.

The Board of Education authorized two mediation attempts with the MTA while I have been a member, the most recent reached a tentative agreement that was accepted by the school board and rejected by the full MTA board; leaving us no choice but to continue spending money on lawyers to defend our property rights. The alternative was to just lie down and allow MTA to move forward with its plans to tunnel under BHHS and accept a seismic map that devalued hundreds of properties in southwest Beverly Hills. Your Board of Education has done more to protect the safety of our school sites and property owner rights in southwest Beverly Hills than any other entity in the City.

Actions speak louder than words. Those actions have consequences that include spending money.

Brian David Goldberg, PhD President BHUSD Board of Education ****** In her anti-Brian Goldberg letter last week, Ilona Sherman cited, among other accusations, salary increases to favored school employees as well as questionable hiring practices to friends of friends in important staff positions as reasons why Dr. Goldberg should not be reelected to the school board. What Ms. Sherman failed to do was provide any information to substantiate these claims. Who are the favored school employees who received salary increases? Who are the “friends of friends” who were hired in important staff positions ?

Ms. Sherman also listed Carter Paysinger as another potential legal lawsuit. Potential? Mr. Paysinger filed suit against the district on July 16, 2014, claiming among other allegations, discrimination and underpayment.

As we are all aware , it takes three votes to pass policy or make personnel decisions . Why is Ms. Sherman laying the responsibility solely at the feet of Brian Goldberg? Could it be that she is part of a group behind a candidate who will be running against him in the upcoming school board race?

Laura Straus ****** I would like to commend and applaud our Board of Education for making the right call by rejecting the proposed policy that would have required that our kids at El Rodeo wear uniforms next year. While uniforms in a public school can sometimes be necessary to protect our children from serious issues that plague some of our nation’s public schools, it was clear there was an insufficient reliable basis for the implementation of a policy that would have affected the rights of children and parents to choose how they dress within the confines of our existing dress code policy. While the birth of this movement to have uniforms in public schools appears to have started with President Clinton’s statement, that “if it means that teenagers will stop killing each other over designer jackets, then our public schools should be able to require their students to wear school uniforms.” it is clear that the Beverly Hills school system does not have this problem or any other serious problem that rises to the level that would support diminishing a family’s right to choose.

Equal applause and commendation should go to Principal Allen.

Despite this one idea of his not proceeding to fruition, his passion for the well being of our children and his quest to provide them with the best education possible is undeniable.
