School Board Invites Mayor, Council On VIP Tour - No Reply Beverly Hills Unified School District Board of Education President Lisa Korbatov, acting on behalf of the Board, invited Beverly Hills Mayor Barry Brucker, Vice Mayor Willie Brien, and members John Mirisch, Lili Bosse and Julian Gold to join a VIP tour of Beverly Hills High School next Tuesday as the board hosts key decision-makers and leaders from Washington, D.C. The tour is the latest in a series of top-level meetings the

school board has held to argue the case to save Beverly High. As of press time, only members Gold and Mirisch had responded. Member Bosse is known to be out of town that day. Brucker and Brien have not responded.

Brucker and Brien have used “meetings” as the basis for refusing to join with the school board to defend Beverly High. Brucker has claimed that MTA officials and other decision makers refuse (see 'TOUR,’ page 24)

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING The City Council of the City of Beverly Hills, at its adjourned regular meeting to be held on Tuesday, September 27, 2011, at 7:00 p.m., in the Council Chambers of the City Hall, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, will consider: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS TO PROHIBIT DRILLING AND EXTRACTION OF OIL, GAS AND OTHER HYDROCARBON SUBSTANCES FROM SURFACE LOCATIONS IN THE CITY, AMENDING CHAPTER 5 OF ARTICLE 10 OF THE BEVERLY HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE On January 25, 2011, the City Council adopted an interim urgency ordinance to prohibit drilling and extraction from surface locations in the City. Pursuant to State Law, the interim ordinance was effective for an initial period of 45 days. On March 1, 2011, the City Council extended interim ordinance for a period of 10 months and 15 days to allow the City’s Planning Commission to consider the proposed permanent ordinance. On September 8, 2011, the City’s Planning Commission considered an ordinance and recommended that the City Council adopt permanent regulations prohibiting drilling and extraction from surface locations in the City.

The Commission also recommend that proposed ordinance include modifications to the conditions to be imposed on drilling from locations outside of the City to require surface facilities to be located a minimum distance from schools and parks.

The proposed ordinance has been environmentally reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), (Public Resource Sections 21000, et seq.), the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15000 et seq.), and the City’s Local CEQA guidelines and has been determined to be exempt pursuant to the Guidelines Section 15061 (b) (3) in that it can be seen with certainty that prohibiting drilling and extraction within the City will not result in an potentially significant environmental impacts.

All interested persons are invited to attend and speak on this matter. Written comments may also be submitted and should be addressed to the City Council, c/o City Clerk, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Room 290, Beverly Hills, CA 90210. The comments should be received prior to the hearing date.

Pilot Program For Historic Preservation Approved

By Marla Schevker The Beverly Hills City Council approved the structure for the two-year pilot Mills Act Program, in an effort to incentivize historic preservation in Beverly Hills. Once a property is enrolled in the program, it will provide a property tax break to owners who preserve, maintain and rehabilitate their historic properties.

Historic preservation consultant Jan Ostashay said this program has been successful in communities like Long Beach,

San Diego and Los Altos.

“Property values go up,” Ostashay said. “Even if you’re not in the Mills Act Program, your neighborhood starts to be revitalized.

Because the Mills Act Program will reduce the amount of property taxes individuals have to pay, the Beverly Hills Unified School District will see a loss in funding of up to $40,000 annually. As a basic aid district, the BHUSD receives most of its funding from Beverly Hills property taxes.

“Of major concern to any school board member as a trustee of the district is trying to preserve the amount of revenue we receive,” Boardmember Jake Manaster said. “As one school board member and resident, I am interested in the preservation of the things we hold as historically important… The Mills Act was put into place for a particular purpose, but that doesn’t mean the City couldn’t come up with something similar that doesn’t (see ‘PRESERVATION,’ page 22)

LYMPHOMA–BHHS junior Anton Saleh and Dr. Lauren Pinter-Brown at the UCLA Lymphoma Program are teaming up for “A Celebration Of Survivorship, On Track For A Cure.” to raise awareness and funds for research. Saleh has suffered from the disease since he was 13.

Saleh, UCLA Doctors Work To Fund Lymphoma Research

By Marla Schevker When Beverly High Junior Anton Saleh was 13, he began to develop strange patches on his skin. After seeing several dermatologists, Saleh was sent to see Dr. Lauren Pinter-Brown at the UCLA Lymphoma Program who confirmed that Saleh had lymphoma.

Pinter-Brown, also a Beverly Hills resident, said lymphoma does not get the financial backing that research for other types of cancer does. Although the number of lymphoma patients goes up, the research and trials go at a star-

tlingly slow pace.

In an effort to raise money, raise community awareness and bring those with lymphoma together, Pinter-Brown and the three other doctors at the UCLA Lymphoma Program have organized “A Celebration Of Survivorship, On Track For A Cure.”

The event will take place from 10 a.m.-2 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 9 in UCLA’s Drake Stadium. The day will include food, music and a track walk-a-thon on the Drake Stadium Track.

Help Develop Well-Rounded Students

By Krystal Leach de Amante Nowadays sending your children to the best schools is not necessarily going to guarantee their chances of future success. However, incorporating additional activities outside of their daily school curriculum will likely make them a more well-rounded individual both academically and socially.

The City of Beverly Hills and Star Education Program have teamed again this season to help parents with achieving this goal. The team will offer their After School Enrichment activities class-

es beginning Oct. 3.

As usual, the classes are being offered to students attending any of the four Beverly Hills elementary schools, grades K through 8, and range from high-energy activities like gymnastics and soccer sessions to more hands-on creative endeavors like theatrical and artistic workshops.

Two of the newer programs to the fall line-up include the “Beverly Hills Academic After School Tutoring” and “The Chess Focus: From Basic and (see ‘ENRICHMENT,’ page 22)

Parent Shares His Affirmations For Kids

By Marla Schevker Beverly Hills resident Moses Gottlieb cares what his kids think. He began telling his three Beverly Vista students positive information, such as how much he loved them, every night before they went to sleep. It became a habit and he began to see results.

“It’s amazing how their personalities have changed,” Gottlieb said. “They used to be very shy and now they are very outgoing.”

Gottlieb decided to take the positive messages one step further and created colorful posters with the messages that he put up around their rooms. He

has since packaged these messages, called the FosterMind, and they are available for other parents to share with their children.

“This could be a great product for parents because our society is surrounded by negative,” Gottlieb said.

“Kids are getting bullied at school; and there’s a lot of negativity out there. Kids see it; they repeat it and they know it by heart. If a child is saying to himself every morning he’s capable, he will be capable. He’ll have the mind of a capable person.”

The FosterMind won two awards (see ‘AFFIRMATIONS,’ page 22)

erformed to standing ovations on opening night at the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion, Eugene Onegin dates back to 1877 when opera diva Yelizaveta Lavroskaya suggested to Tchaikovsky, her dinner companion during a Moscow party, that he create an opera based on Pushkin’s legendary poem of unrequited love. He scoffed, totally disinterested, embarrassed to take on Pushkin’s literary masterpiece.

NOISE (Continued from page 1)

Voting 3-2, the council adopted a new ordinance in attempt to make all members of the community happy. This new ordinance clearly states that starting at 10 p.m., seven days a week, amplified sound must be controlled so that it is not distinctly audible to neighbors. In addition, the city council elected not to increase the current penalties for noise violations.

“After hearing hours of comments from the public, and from police officers about enforcement, we did what we could to clarify and update the ordinances,” said Mayor Brucker. “But, at the same time, real harmony can only be achieved by a positive dialogue and better understating between neighbors.”

Experts Now Advise Flu Shots For Broader Spectrum Of Population Yearly flu vaccines were once urged only for high-risk groups, but now experts say the preventative shot is advisable for nearly everyone 6 months and older at the beginning of each flu season.

“We recommend near-universal vaccination against influenza for two reasons,” says Todd Spector, M.D., a family physician at UCLA-Santa Monica Bay Physicians. “The first is to create ‘herd immunity’ and stop the spread of influenza throughout the community.

The second is to prevent the serious illness, hospitalizations and even deaths associated with influenza.”

Flu season generally begins in September or October, and an average of 25,000 people die in the U.S. each year of flu-related complications and more than 200,000 are hospitalized, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Countless others suffer at home, missing days of work or school.

Moreover, notes Dr. Spector, the benefits of the vaccine – prevention of influenza’s most common strains – have no downside. The flu shot contains a “killed” virus. “You don’t get influenza from the vaccine,” Dr. Spector says.

“You can still get other viral syndromes, like a cold, or you could get a type of influenza not covered by the vaccine, but you won’t get any of these symp-

toms from the flu shot itself.”

Spector notes the vaccine is especially important for those at highest risk for serious flu-related complications: the elderly, children under 5, pregnant women and people of any age with chronic medical conditions that contribute to immune or respiratory dysfunction (including diabetes, HIV, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), as well as anyone in close contact with these individuals, such as family members and healthcare workers.

Each year, the vaccine is developed based on what research predicts will be the most common strains of influenza in the coming season. This year’s vaccine will be the same as last year’s, says Zachary Rubin, M.D., an infectious-disease specialist at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. However, Dr. Rubin notes, “Even if you got last year’s shot, you need to get it again.” That’s because the effects of the influenza vaccine wane with time.

In fact, for some individuals the immunity lasts only a few months.

In recent years, the nasal-spray vaccine has become available as an alternative to the needle vaccine for healthy people 2-49 who are not pregnant.

Studies have found the nasal vaccine is somewhat more effective than shots for children, but slightly less effective than shots for adults, notes Dr. Rubin

PATIENT & VOLUNTEER—Helen Baker (third from right) was recently honored for her volunteer efforts on behalf of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and for being the hospital’s oldest living patient. Honoring Baker are (from left) Bonnie McClure, hospital board of trustees member and chair, Hospital Associates & Affiliates; Baker’s son Steve and daughter Susan; CHLA President/CEO Richard Cordova; and Monrovia Mayor Mary Ann Lutz.

CHLA Honors Oldest Living Patient In 1917, a 3-year-old child from Pasadena named Helen Baker came to the recently opened Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) for successful minor neck surgery. Now 94 years later, Helen returned to the hospital as its oldest living patient to be honored for her lifelong support of the institution and take a tour of the newly opened high-tech patient tower.

“As a little girl having surgery, I was extremely emotional about being in the hospital,” said Baker. “I remember being so scared to get on the gurney on the way to surgery when one of the orderlies scooped me up and personally carried me

to the surgical ward. He did the same thing for me when the surgery was over. I was so grateful to everyone at the hospital for their kindness. It was an experience that has shaped my entire life.”

In 1948, she co-founded the Monrovia Guild. Today, the organization continues to raise awareness and support for the hospital in the San Gabriel Valley.

To recognize a lifetime of fundraising and volunteering, the hospital held a ceremony to honor Baker. Part of the festivities included touring the new Marion and John E. Anderson Pavilion, a 317-bed patient tower in the same place where Bak(see ‘PATIENT,’ page 13)

Walk Raises Funds For Mental Illness Awareness The L.A. County chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness will hold its NAMI Walk at 9 a.m., Saturday, Oct. 1 in the Santa Monica Promenade, between Wilshire Boulevard and Arizona Avenue on 2nd and 4th Streets.

The Walk’s goal is to fight stigma and raise awareness that brain illnesses are biologically based and recovery is possible and real.

Walkers—individuals or team mem-

Statistics show that 18.6 percent of Americans suffer from anxiety, 6.7 percent suffer from depression and 6.6 percent have bipolar disorder.

Yet the stigma of mental illness prevents many from psychiatric evaluation and/or real treatment. Suicide is the leading cause of death in universities and colleges, mainly from unrecognized and untreated mental illness. Self stigma produces so much internal guilt and shame that young people feel reluctant to tell anyone how they really feel.

People stigmatized with brain illnesses have low selfesteem, despair, shame, guilt, anger, and selfdestructiveness.

They also suffer social exclusion, isolation and feelings of hopelessness.

Evening is chaired

by Gina Furth.

“We are honoring Dr. Phillips for his outstanding work as a physician and surgeon, and also as one who has touched the lives of so many of his patients,” said Lorette Gross, Women’s Guild president.

Founded in 1957, Women’s Guild is a volunteer group of

I M P O R TA N T If you are a connoisseur of baseball statistics or like good acting, you will love Moneyball. If you enjoy drama and humor, excitement and the harsh reality of the game, you are going to sing the praises of director, Bennett Miller (Capote). And if it’s intelligent, ascorbic and humorous writing you crave, Steve Zaillian (Schindler’s List) and Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network) will more than fulfill your desires.

Moneyball is not only about human foibles, emotions, successes and failures it is one of the best buddy movies you will ever see. Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill are brilliantly paired as the Oakland Athletics’ general manager and his assistant, who literally picks and chooses baseball players by the numbers.

Pitt (Billy Beane) is a young phenom who is drafted by the FILM NY Mets early in his career.

Unable to make the grade, he is let go and eventually winds up as the A’s boss He is cold, calculating and superstitious with an underlying warmth and understanding of his players.

The film opens in the midst of the 2001 American League pennant race between the A’s and the feared Yankees. The payroll of the former is a piddling 39 million dollars compared to 114 million for the New Yorkers. Beane is frustrated as other big budget teams are signing his few big name stars leaving him with leftovers who are as cold as yesterday’s potatoes and an ownership refusing to part with big bucks.

He hires Hill (Peter Brand), a statistician extraordinaire who is an employee of the Cleveland Indians and who chooses ballplayers, not by their name power, but by the number of times they throw strikes or get on base during a nine-inning game.

Philip Seymour Hoffman is terrific as Art Howe, the no-nonsense manager of the A’s who disagrees with Beane and Brand’s brand of baseball wisdom.

Based on a book by Michael Lewis, Moneyball should entertain everyone from the statistical braniacs to those with a limited knowledge of America’s pastime.

Pitt and Jonah are two wonderful actors who give outstanding performances. The picture feels like an extra inning game coming in at 2 hours and 13 minutes. But why quibble? It is an engrossing and enjoyable film.

More than 20 members of the current Monrovia Guild attended the ceremonies where hospital President/CEO Richard D. Cordova, FACHE, and Bonnie McClure, chair, Associates & Affiliates and hospital Board of Trustees member, presented Baker with a commendation for

September 23 | Page 13 her six decades of philanthropic and volunteer efforts. Monrovia Mayor Mary Ann Lutz also presented Baker with a certificate from the city.

“When Helen came here in 1917, CHLA had just opened its new 100-bed hospital. Helen is now our oldest living patient – so we must have done a good job with her care back then,” quipped Cordova.

WFHC Introduces New Mobile Medical Unit L.A. County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky will join Santa Monica Mayor Richard Bloom, Assembly Member Betsy Butler and other community and philanthropic leaders on Monday, Sept. 26 for the launch of Westside Family Health Center’s new Mobile Medical Unit (MMU) at the WFHC, 1711 Ocean Park Blvd.

There will be a program from 6:30- 6:45 p.m. and the festivities last until 8 p.m.

Reaching 1,475 new patients in the first year of operation, the 36-foot vehicle will allow WFHC to provide comprehensive health and educational services in local neighborhoods, schools and work sites.

The launch will feature tours of the center and the unit, which has two exam rooms, a clinician

area, small lab, a vaccine freezer and refrigerator, and a small waiting room.

“We are excited to offer this new service to our community,’’ said Debra A. Farmer, WFHC president/CEO. “Staffed by WFHC’s professional staff including a health care provider and a member of the community outreach and education team, the vehicle is essential to the community given the increasing numbers of uninsured, underinsured, and the decline of employer-funded health insurance— and furthers WFHC’s commitment to community health since 1974.

“By situating the MMU in high-traffic areas near well-traveled bus routes, access barriers to Westside Family Health Center, such as the obstacle of trans-

portation or simply not knowing that WFHC’s services exist, will be greatly reduced,” Farmer added. “People don’t understand that freeways act as mountain ranges in Los Angeles. Even though we have this massive transit system, taking two or three buses [especially] when you have kids is really hard.’’

The MMU was purchased with an American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) grant, whose funds were for the purchase only. WFHC will raise funds for the unit’s operational costs from individual and institutional funders.

For more information about the WFHC or the new MMU, contact Sandra Mendez , 310 450-4773, ext.

“We think the appropriate venue for the community to participate is at the City Council level.”

Councilman John Mirisch said he believed more community input would be valuable.

“But, unfortunately City Hall is not listening to the residents,” Mirisch said. “I will make the suggestion we let the residents decide. We should sponsor a referendum allowing the residents to give direction to the council as to what they would like to do.”

If the council is unwilling to let the community decide as Mirisch said he heard certain residents are prepared to gather signatures to try and allow the

people of the City to have their say.

Former Recreation & Parks Commissioner and Spalding Drive resident Kathi Rothner said there has not been a community meeting for the residents that live directly adjacent to the park and she believed there should be. Although the area is technically a part of the Southwest Homeowners Association, Rothner said the City should be a contacting resident on the streets directly as most of the southwest residents live a quarter mile or more away from the park.

“I think the homeowners on Spalding Drive and Roxbury should have input,” Rothner said. “I think the City has to put out a little bit more effort, put a note in all of our mailboxes and

call a meeting for us.”

Councilwoman LIli Bosse, who was at the Roxbury Park meeting in May said she remembered promises for another meeting and she believed residents deserve to have their questions answered.

“There were a lot of questions that were not answered at Roxbury Park,” Bosse said. “I think this is a very big commitment of taxpayer funds and we as a City owe our community more time to have public input.”

Kolin said the proposed Roxbury Park project would come before the council in late October or early November and that will be the earliest planned time for additional community input on the project.

The Walk of Style award, also designed by Graham, is a miniature model of Torso.

Iman and Missoni will be

the 16th and 17th recipients inducted into the Walk of Style.

“What a privilege it is to honor Iman and Missoni, two of the most influential figures in fashion,” says Rodeo Drive Walk of Style Selection Committee Chairwoman Wanda McDaniel. “Iman has been the voice and role model for women around the world.”

“Missoni is a symbol of Italian luxury,” says Peri Ellen Berne, chairwoman of the Walk of Style. “The Missoni family has always amazed us with their beautiful color combinations woven throughout signature zigzag patterns. These characteristics are present in their ready-to-wear collections for men and women, as well as their home collections. This has their creations a favorite among Hollywood’s elite and socialites across the world.”

Fashion News & Notes Roberto Cavalli to Launch Home Collection The Roberto Cavalli Group said Tuesday it plans to launch a home collection in April during Milan's Salone del Mobile, the city's international furniture and design exhibition.

Cavalli has signed four five-year licenses for the development, production and distribution of furniture and furnishing accessories with JC Passion; wallpaper with Industrie Emilina Parati; tiles with Gruppo Ceramiche Ricchetti SpA, and textiles, bed, table and bath linens with Caleffi SpA. The company said it plans to further expand the line with other home products and licenses.

WWD Pucci Outlines Plan for U.S. Expansion The opening of a new shop-in-shop at Saks Fifth Avenue is only the first step in Emilio Pucci's expansion in the U.S. "The U.S. market is excellent for Pucci, one of the markets that is growing the most, as it showed 20 percent gains year-to-date, " said Alessandra Carra, who joined the company in March as its new chief executive officer. "We didn't used to have shop-in-shops in department stores, as it was a conscious decision in the past to focus on building our boutiques, but we thought that with Saks, it was the right moment to change our strategy."

WWD Prada Charts Retail Growth Prada SpA plans to open 80 stores a year over the next three years as investments in its own retail network drive the company's growth. Spurred

by a 33.4 percent increase in its retail channel in the six months ended July 31, the Italian fashion house posted a 74.2 percent jump in net profits, and aims to expand to a targeted number of 550 directly operated stores worldwide by the end of 2013. Prada expects that about half the new stores will be in Asia, with around 50 in China. Investments are also earmarked for Russia, the Gulf region and Latin America.

Councilman John Mirisch and Mayor Barry Brucker suggested the Joint Powers Agreement negotiation team discuss how the City could recoup any losses the district might face.

The City itself could face losses of up to $50,000.

Staff estimates initial participation in the Mills Act Program will cost approximately $15,000. However, they also recommended the City subsidize the initial application fee up to 90 percent, for a total of $1,500. Ongoing fees are estimated to cost approximately $800 annually.

of this year’s election. But according to Los Angeles County Registrar Recorder’s office spokesperson Marcia Ventura, Licht’s name has already been printed on the sample ballot and will remain there.

Since Licht’s name will stay on the ballot, it is still possible for him to win this year’s election.

However, if Licht is elected, and remains unwavering in his decision not to serve, then other boardmembers will appoint one of the remaining candidates to fulfill the two-year obligation.

Had Licht withdrawn prior the filing deadline, there would have been no election. As of press time, Beverly Vista PTA President Noah Margo was se-

In addition to the Noble

Prize, Dr. Ignarro has received numerous awards and recognition for his work to include 11 consecutive UCLA Golden Apple teaching awards and named a 2008 American Heart Association Distinguished Scientist.

He also stated that proceeding for the upcoming election would be a breach and misuse of the community’s trust.

“I regret this and deeply regret that I cannot fulfill the expectations of my friends and supporters,” he told The Courier.

“I hope to continue to serve the community in many capacities as a private citizen. I will be refunding all of the campaign contributions received and humbly thank everyone who has worked, believed and supported me.”

A Mills Act contract will last for approximately 10 years after the contract has been severed either by the homeowner or the City. At that point, the Los Angeles County Assessor office will begin raising the property taxes back up to the full value.

As well as approving the Mills Act Pilot Program, the council also agreed to set aside $25,000 for a historic consultant to help the City staff, architectural commission and council on successfully implementing the program. The Mills Act Program will come back in the form of a public hearing and then after public input will go back to the council for formal vote.

By Holiday Mathis TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 23).

You approach many areas of your life with a strong sense of professionalism. Because you accept the trials and hard work, you will also accept the rewards.

In October, you’ll connect with someone in a fleeting moment and turn this connection into a bond that lasts years. There’s a move in March. You’ll learn a new skill. Leo and Gemini people adore you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll feel empowered to take on the world, and yet you’ll wisely realize the world doesn’t always need to be “taken on.” Things are already leaning in your direction, so all you have to do is go with the flow.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You always try to leave things better than they were when you found them. This is difficult when others around you are messy and thoughtless. You may be the only responsible one, but keep up the high standards.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Learning to think differently can be the most difficult habit to change. But it doesn’t have to be so hard. Mostly, you will dwell on the lovely thoughts you prefer, and the shift happens quite naturally.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Create an emotional climate around you. It will be as though you have your own personal weather system following you wherever you go. It’s quite sunny and fair where you are.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

The chatter in your head is as distracting as a television blaring when you’re trying to read or converse. You can quiet the mental noise by telling someone trustworthy what’s on your mind, or by writing in a diary.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20).

Meetings are often unnecessary, and today is no exception.

However, unnecessary things can still be quite helpful. And today it will benefit everyone to get together and make sure

you’re all on the same page.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). You’ll apply yourself in all sorts of unusual ways to please the powers that be. It works especially well when the one who happens to be in power is you. And you are certainly worthy of a pleasing effort.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). You will see a relationship from the other person’s point of view, which makes you a kind of emotional genius. The ability to leave yourself and see things as another person might is a rare gift.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You probably won’t feel like taking a direct route. Wandering around requires a great deal of time, but it’s worthwhile. You’ll have different thoughts along this meandering path.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Cupid’s arrow hits. You’re likely to fall in love and stay in love.

You may not be falling for another person, though—it will probably be a project or an area of interest that captures your heart.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll enjoy a day of clear-headedness and ordered thinking. You will be decisive, partly because you feel there’s no time to waste and partly because the right answers seem so obvious to you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

When you’re not sure what to do, you will make the effort to appear knowledgeable. You will be convincing in this endeavor, making others feel at ease.

People will believe what you say.

Joan Mangum Last Sunday Paula Kent Meehan opened the Japanese gardens at her spacious Beverly Hills’ home for a reception in support of the UCLA Division of Digestive Diseases. The event, co-hosted by Barbara Davis and Candy Spelling, featured a performance by Elizabeth Pitcairn on the legendary “Red Violin.”

September 20, 2011 Dear Mayor Brucker, I would like to invite you and Vice Mayor Brien and the entire City Council to meet with an interested party at the federal level in regards to MTA and the proposed tunneling under Beverly Hills High School.

The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, September 27, 2011, at 9:30 am. This scheduled meeting is the latest in a series of high level meetings that the Board of Education has arranged with various decision makers and stakeholders related to our effort to educate and inform others of our position.

Sincerely,

Lisa Korbatov President, Board of Education Beverly Hills Unified School District

BEVERLY HILLS school area and Century City without telling the school board or fellow councilmembers.

They defended their actions in open session in answer to Korbatov’s protest of this breach of protocol and show of disrespect for other governing bodies. The school board, not the City Council, has jurisdiction over the high school campus. (See copy of Koratov’s letter on left.)

Korbatov’s invitation is the most recent effort by the Board of Education to present a united Beverly Hills front on the MTA/BHHS tunnel.

Reports in Los Angeles media Thursday surfaced that L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who snubbed Mayor Brucker recently about the tunnel, failed to obtain a meeting with House Speaker John Boehner in Washington after multiple attempts.

BHUSD representatives have held a number of meetings with Boehner and his staff.

to meet with BHUSD representatives because of the district’s opposition to the Beverly High tunnel plan.

The Courier’s investigations show that not to be the case. School board members and representatives, often joined by Councilmember Mirisch, have held multiple meetings with nearly all MTA directors, federal and state officials, and citizen groups.

BHUSD has publicly challenged MTA to justify the unprecedented tunnel under a public school. The MTA claims it will do so in the future but refuses to release any technical data to support its decision.

Brucker and Brien have insisted on holding unannounced meetings with some MTA directors and others, not even notifying their colleagues on the council. They caused a firestorm by hosting L.A.

limit, suspend or rescind the prequalification rating based on subsequently learned information.

Contractors whose rating changes sufficiently to disqualify them will be notified, and given an PROJECT 12-09 opportunity for a hearing consistent with the hearDue Date: ing procedures described 2:00 pm Tuesday, below for appealing a preSeptember 27, 2011 qualification rating.

Submit Statement to: City Clerk City of Beverly Hills 455 N. Rexford Drive Room 290 Beverly Hills, CA. 90210 Identify Statement Package as: Confidential Prequalification Statement for the Construction of the Roxbury Community Center PROJECT 12-09 CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS PROJECT ADMINISTRATION 345 FOOTHILL ROAD BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA 90210 REQUEST FOR PREQUALIFICATION OF BIDDERS AND PREQUALIFICATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR: THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ROXBURY COMMUNITY CENTER IN THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS Notice is hereby given that the City of Beverly Hills (“CITY”) has determined that all bidders for the construction of the Construction of the Roxbury Community Center in the City of Beverly Hills (“PROJECT”), must be pre-qualified prior to submitting a bid on that PROJECT. It is mandatory that all Contractors who intend to submit a bid, fully complete the prequalification questionnaire, provide all materials requested herein, and be approved by the CITY to be on the final qualified Bidders list.

No bid will be accepted from a Contractor that has failed to comply with these requirements. If two or more business entities submit a bid as part of a Joint Venture, or expect to submit a bid as part of a Joint Venture, each entity within the Joint Venture must be separately qualified to bid. The last date to submit a fully completed questionnaire is the date shown on the cover page.

Contractors are encouraged to submit prequalification packages as soon as possible, so that they may be notified of omissions of information to be remedied or of their prequalification status in advance of the prequalification deadline for this PROJECT. Answers to questions contained in the attached questionnaire are required. The CITY will use these documents as the basis of rating Contractors with respect to whether each Contractor is qualified to bid on the PROJECT, and reserves the right to check other sources available.

The CITY’s decision will be based on objective evaluation criteria.

The CITY reserves the right to adjust, increase,

While it is the intent of the prequalification questionnaire and documents required therewith to assist the CITY in determining bidder responsibility prior to bid and to aid the CITY in selecting the lowest responsible bidder, neither the fact of prequalification, nor any prequalification rating, will preclude the CITY from a post-bid consideration and determination of whether a bidder has the quality, fitness, capacity and experience to satisfactorily perform the proposed work, and has demonstrated the requisite trustworthiness.

The prequalification package should be submitted under seal to the City Clerk at the address shown on the cover page.

That page also indicates how the package should be identified.

The prequalification packages submitted by Contractors are not public records and are not open to public inspection. All information provided will be kept confidential to the extent permitted by law.

However, the contents may be disclosed to third parties for purpose of verification, or investigation of substantial allegations, or in an appeal hearing.

State law requires that the names of contractor applying for prequalification status shall be public records subject to disclosure, and the Contact Information page of this questionnaire will be used for that purpose.

Each questionnaire must be signed under penalty of perjury in the manner designated in the Certification, by an individual who has the legal authority to bind the Contractor on whose behalf that person is signing. If any information provided by a Contractor becomes inaccurate, the Contractor must immediately notify the CITY and provide updated accurate information in writing, under penalty of perjury.

The CITY reserves the right to waive minor irregularities and omissions in the information contained in the prequalification application submitted, and to make all final determinations.

The CITY may also determine at any time that the prequalification process will be suspended for the PROJECT and the PROJECT will be bid without prequalification.

Contractors may submit prequalification packages during regular working hours on any day that the offices of the CITY are open. Contractors who submit a complete prequalification package will be notified of their qualification status no later than ten business days after

Frances Allen Desert Roundup

For at least the past decade, the Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards gala presented by the Desert AIDS Project as been on the short-list of the very best (think fashion, think fun and think auctions) Desert-based charitable events. Don’t take my word for it, the more than 1,000 guest who fill the Palm Springs Convention Center each year would resoundingly agree.

However, next Feb. 11, under the co-chairmanship of philanthropists Barbara Keller and Jim Casey, this season’s Steve Chase mega-gala is ramping up it’s A-List of performing entertainers.

While celebrity names are still being added (some secretly), either as performers or honorees, we can announce that Joan Rivers, a woman who looks gorgeous in red … black … or anything she wants to wear, will be on her dissing-best behavior as she emcees the evening.

While Joan may want to talk, there are at least four other headliners who would rather sing for their suppers, leading off with the royal talent of Golden Globe and SAG Award winner, as well as being a committed AIDS activist, Queen Latifah.

The hugely popular TV series Will & Grace, made Megan Mullally, who portrayed the boozy, hysterically funny Karen Walker on the show, a recognizable household name as a comedic actress; but as a singer she is a multiple SAG and Emmy winner, a talent she will put Joan Rivers on display at the Steve Chase.

There are a handful of performers who, just by the mention of their name, conjures up Country music. Five-time Grammy-winner Wynonna Judd is one of them as she will remind the audience at the Steve Chase.

If you know Broadway and the theater, you will surely know the name and work of David Burnham. He’s played Fiyero in Wicked and replaced Donny Osmond in the title role of Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. He, too, will be showcasing his talent at the Steve Chase in February.

Earlier this year, with half the talent, the Steve Chase gala raised more than $1.33 million to support Desert AIIDS Project and its work of providing comprehensive support, including free HIV testing, medical care and case management, to persons suffering with HIV/AIDS. The 2012 gala is expected to surpass this record.

You can find out more by calling 760-969-5750. ****** Also absent from the Desert for more than the last two years are hotair balloons, those colorful, teardrop-shaped balloons carrying a wicker basket in which passengers floated over the Coachella Valley for a literal birds’ eye view of the Desert.

The superficial reason for their disappearance is no mystery, but the underlying cause is still shrouded in speculation and intrigue.

About two years ago the corporate owners of an east-valley olive grove sued the approximately 12 hot-air balloon companies then operating in the Coachella Valley claiming that their balloons flew too low over the olive grove, causing a nuisance. Of course, this raised the question: How can a hot-air balloon cause a nuisance to a field of olives?

But, the plaintiffs were vigorous (and well-funded) in the prosecution of their lawsuit, and some local residents wondered if the underlying motivation for the law suit had to deal with the olive grove’s walled, pristine stucco compound which, from the air, looked like a very luxurious and ultra-private retreat, with the olive groves’ primary purpose being to mask the real uses of the property.

However, while most people who followed the case believed that it was the plaintiffs who were generating the hot air, the cost of defending the lawsuit was high enough to cause most local balloon operators to move elsewhere or to stop flying locally altogether.

Then local attorney Robert Gilliland, Jr. agreed to represent the balloonists on a pro bono basis, and finally, after multiple defendants had been sued, including the FAA, which investigated and found that the balloonists had committed no air-safety violations, the plaintiffs dropped their lawsuit.

So now the hot air of the past two years will be transferred from the courtroom to the gas-bags of hot-air balloons, and color will return to the skies above the east end of the Coachella Valley.

As for the olives, they’re still growing unmolested.

LETTERS Publisher Clifton S. Smith, Jr *******

I understand the MTA has three “excuses” why the subway has to go under Beverly High.

Associate Publisher Marcia W. Hobbs • It’s the “best possible” Senior Editor John L. Seitz route to get to the twin tower Special Sections Editor Steve Simmons office buildings in Century City; ******* • It want to avoid a major Fashion Director Tawny Sanders earthquake fault on Santa Joan Mangum Society Editor Monica Boulevard in front of Century City; ******* • Century City landlords Founding Publisher March Schwartz (Publisher 1965 - 2004) are more persuasive than all The Courier is proud to be a Education Partner.

Beverly Hills voters combined.

If those are the reasons for not going straight out Santa Monica Boulevard then they should go the “other” route that has not been mentioned: Go west on Santa Monica through Beverly Hills and tunnel south under Century Park East with a right turn under Constellation to go west, then a final right turn back down to Santa Monica.

DO WE BLEED THE PATIENT MORE TO HEAL HIM?

Rabbi Jacob Pressman WAITING FOR THE OTHER SHOE It was in my pre-teens that I first heard the expression: “Waiting for the other shoe to drop.” We lived on the second floor of a three story family building. On the third floor, directly above us we had a “roomer,” an elderly gentleman affectionately called: “Artie the Deaf” because, indeed, he was stone deaf. His habits were rigidly regular. At 10 p.m., he undressed and went to bed. In the course thereof he removed his shoes, very slowly, it seemed. At 10 o’clock, I scurried to my room to await the familiar thump-thump as he removed his shoes. For some reason, I know not why, he always removed one shoe, and then there was a long pause before he removed the other. Nightly, I waited expectantly for the thud when he finally removed the other.

Please understand, this was before TV and radio was a squeaking crustal contraption. There was no diversion for this pre-teener other than to wait for the other shoe to drop.

The expression stuck with me and provided me with a handy figure-of-speech to describe many situations. Today, I have the eerie feeling that at a time when so many of us stay glued to our television sets, our news radios, the headlines of the daily press, we are incessantly waiting for the other shoe to drop. Will the floodwaters rise still higher, break their dams, and devastate entire areas? Will the tinder-dry lush forests be leveled by relentless firestorms0? Will nations, having developed atomic generators, actually and recklessly “nuke” other nations? Will national economies here and in many countries around the world go broke and wipe out the savings of their populace? Our nerves are constantly set on edge waiting for that other shoe.

In retrospect, what did we all do about Artie the Deaf? We finally learned to live with him. What do I suggest for our present anxieties? Let us not waste our lives living in fearful expectation of the worst. Let us do what we can to cope with our problems and when we have done that, live with hope and without fear…and smell the roses. erty from victim’s office suite.
