Artist Bringing DreamInspired Works To ‘Affaire’

By Krystal Leach de Amante Adorned with vintage Native American jewelry, cowboy hat, upturned pointed mustache and smoking pipe clenched tightly between his teeth, 94-year old Len Aaron arrives at his canvas every morning with the intent of

transforming last night’s dreams into a work of passion, using untamed strokes of his paintbrush.

“A lot of times I have a dream about the same thing over and over again,” he confessed. (see ‘AFFAIRE IN THE GARDENS,’ page 14)

Teens Host Forum To Quiz Board Candidates On Issues

By Sayeh Mohammadi The Teen Beverly Hills Education Foundation hosted a Candidate Forum in the John Cherney Lecture Hall at Beverly High Wednesday.

These teens launched this forum to “actively engage, identify challenges within the five schools, suggest solutions and advise and confer with BHEF.”

The candidates were incumbent Brian Goldberg, Frances Bilak, Lewis Hall and write-in candidate Noah Margo.

Topics of the forum ranged from campus security to college admission and required candidates to provide timed responses.

Council Still Refuses ‘United Front’ To Fight Subway Courier By

Staff The Beverly Hills City Council rejected repeated attempts by the Beverly Hills Unified School District to create a united front to protect BHHS from a tunnel the Metropolitan Transit Authority threatens to dig under the school and dozens of local homes for its Westside Subway Extension.

The rejection came in a letter sent late last week signed by City Manager Jeff Kolin. The tunnel, pushed by L. A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Third District Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky, reneges on the route supported in 2007 by a Beverly Hills Citywide committee formed to study the subway.

The committee, whose findings were endorsed by the then city council, dealt with the only route proposed through Beverly

Hills—a route that would not approach the high school. The route is subject to approval by the Metro board later this year.

Kolin's letter came as Mayor Barry Brucker continues to complain BHUSD is unwilling to share technical data about the proposed Beverly High tunnel.

The district has continually promised to share data if it is protected by a joint defense agreement.

Last week, the City Council refused to hire experts to conduct its own studies, but instead will rely on a “peer review” by a Northern California firm of the Westside Subway Extension Environmental Impact Report when issued later this year. The City will thus not prepare any evidence or data for defense of Bev(see ‘MTA,’ page 16)

City Shares Helpful Parking Tips

By Krystal Leach de Amante The City of Beverly Hills has identified some helpful parking hints The on-street credit card meter features continuous communication, reporting to City parking operations providing them the ability to quickly identify meter malfunctions.

“If someone’s experienced a problem with the meter and gotten a ticket and they’re very detailed about what occurred, these are things we can look at in the database and adjudicate their ticket,” said Director of Parking Operations Chad Lynn.

The meters also have a

special failsafe to protect the patron by not allowing meter purchases past the posted tow away zone hours.

Another beneficial aspect of the credit card meters is the escrow feature.

“You can actually begin paying the meter a hour before it goes into effect,” Lynn explained.

For example, if meter hours begin at 8 a.m., a patron can deposit money at 7 a.m. and it will save the payment and begin charging at 8 a.m.

City garages offer a credit card payment at entry, exit or (see ‘PARKING,’ page 18)

Great California Shakeout Oct. 20

By Krystal Leach de Amante Beverly Hills is encouraging all local residents, businesses, schools and places of worship to participate in the annual Great California Shakeout Oct. 20 at 10:20 a.m.

The two-minute “Drop, Cover and Hold On” safety drill is the largest in the country with more than 7.9 million registered participants.

The Shakeout’s overall goal is to prevent the next earthquake from becoming a major catastrophe by allowing individuals and businesses the opportunity to test their emergency response preparedness in a controlled environment.

According to seismologist experts, there is a 97 percent chance a 6.7 or above magnitude earthquake will occur in the next 30 years, causing extensive damage and loss of life.

So at 10:20 a.m. on Oct. 20, nearly 8 million participants will drop to the ground, take cover by getting under a nearby sturdy desk or table and hold on.

Individuals, families, businesses and other organizations wishing to participate in the drill can register at www.shakeout.org/resgister/. The website also provides instructions and resources on preparing for the two-second drill.

ALL SAINTS MUSIC PROGRAM BENEFIT—Singer Jan Daley, who sang with Bob Hope on several of his USO tours abroad, gave a performance to an audience of more than 400 including members of the active military, veterans and the USO during a benefit concert for the All Saints Beverly Hills Music Program. Some of her songs were But Beautiful, Till Love Touches Your Life, and one of Daley’s own compositions about a soldier’s girl waiting for him to come home, One She’s Been Waiting For. During the evening, Tony-winner Michael Maguire (Les Miserables) joined her on stage. He sang Music Of The Night was outstanding and then they dueted with All I Ask Of You, both songs from Phantom Of The Opera. The All Saints' Choir added the final touches to a evening. The performers gave thanks to Rev. Stephen Huber for his support. Pictured (from left): Bonnie McClure and Jacque Hom; Steven Huber and Jan Daley.

Citizen-Led Committee On Police Contracts Set

By Krystal Leach de Amante Former two-term Beverly Hills mayor and opthalmologist Dr. Charles Aronberg and attorney Lessing E. Gold announced the formation of a citizen-led committee to expediently moderate contract negotiations between the Beverly Hills Police Officers Association and the City.

Aronberg informed The

Courier the committee plans on asking other civic leaders to join. He also emphasized the committee’s role was to take no particular side on the issue, only aid in achieving a swift resolution.

Long-time residents Aronberg and Gold, also recommended that despite the economic issues, both parties must make a concentrated effort to

reach equally satisfying terms.

This announcement took place 15 days after Police Officers Association attorney Stephen Silver aggressively approached the City Council regarding the proposed salary and pension cuts being discussed during negotiations. .

Aronberg did not return The Courier’s calls for further comment.

Board To Discuss Hiring Library Media Teachers

By Marla Schevker The Board of Education, at the request of President Lisa Korbatov, will be discussing hiring two K-8 library media teachers at its next meeting, Oct. 11.

If approved by the board, the district will begin the

process of hiring the two teachers for the four K-8’s.

Korbatov said she believed reading is an important lifelong skill for school achievement, college readiness and 21st century careers.

“Librarians teach those skills directly and daily while

supporting teachers and collaborating on curriculum,” Korbatov said. “Would the district consider replacing certified classroom teachers with teaching assistants? Would the community allow it? Of course not.

Librarians are teachers with master degrees and expertise.”

AN APPLE A DAY—The Apple Harvest Faire is back for a sixth year Oct, 23, from noon to 5 p.m. on the front lawn of Beverly Hills High School. The fall festival offers food from local restaurants and rides.

Admission is free, but every dollar spent on food or rides goes to the five Beverly Hills public schools.

By Simone Sobel The Beverly Hills City Council unanimously voted on Sept. 27 to sponsor the Gran Fondo USA bike event for a minimum of one year.

Although the council agreed to lend its support, the decision to grant official sponsorship awaits further details about finances and marketing provisions.

By Marla Schevker A pre-trial conference for former BHUSD Superintendent Jeffrey Hubbard occurred last Friday in Judge Stephen Marcus’ courtroom at the Clara Shortridge Foltz Justice Center.

Hubbard’s trial was tentatively set for Nov. 10.

Deputy District Atty. Max Huntsman told Judge Marcus he intends to bring additional charges in front of the Grand Jury against Hubbard. Huntsman said he had not previously been able to present to the grand jury because his witness was “unable to appear.”

In early September, Huntsman told The Courier the additional charges had to do with former BHUSD Human Resources Coordinator Nora Roque. After the grand jury has made a decision on the additional charges, Hubbard’s attorney Salvatore Ciulla said they may be filing a 995 motion, or a request to have a judge review what happened during the grand jury to evaluate whether enough evidence was presented.

Both factors will determine whether the case can be sent to trial. As of now, Judge Marcus

said the trial should begin within 11 days of Nov. 10.

A trial readiness conference for former BHUSD Director of Planning and Facilities Karen Christiansen is tentatively set for Oct. 28 with a tentative trial set for early November in Judge Marcus’ courtroom.

Hubbard’s trial is expected to last seven days and Christiansen’s trial is expected to last up to five weeks.

Christiansen is charged with four counts of conflict of interest and Hubbard is charged with two counts of misappropriation of funds.

You are where you eat.

Impeccable service, celebrated cuisine, legendary atmosphere.

George Christy’s Pick Of The Week: Good Dog

after a puppet that French youngsters gave to American servicemen for good luck, Rin Tin Tin, who became an above-the-titles movie star, was a frightened German Shepherd puppy hidden in a kennel of dead dogs inside a German encampment during World War I. He was found by U.S. Army Corporal Leland “Lee” Duncan, who heard squealing noises.

So author Susan Orlean reveals in her compelling and moving portrait, Rin Tin Tin, The Life And The Legend, published this month by Simon & Schuster.

AFFAIRE IN THE GARDENS

cer of Aaron Brothers Art Marts, an art framing retailer with over 160 stores nationwide.

He and brother Almore started the business with $50 each, earned from selling picture frames out the back of a Ford Model A truck. Nearly 60 years later, not much has changed.

“I sold four paintings out of the back of my car last night,” he cheerfully remarked. “So I’m doing it the same way I started---out of the back of my car!”

Aaron explained how his life’s journey encompassed many unexpected, enriching experiences from hitchhiking around the country riding boxcars during the Great Depression, to serving a tour in the U.S. Army during WWII. However, the one thing that brings him a great deal of serenity and pleasure is for certain.

“I’d like to have people want them (the paintings),” he admits. “It’s what gives me enthusiasm.”

Len Aaron is a resident artist of Arty Gallery located at 634 S. Main St, Downtown Los Angeles 90013.

(Continued from page 1)

“I keep seeing it, so in the morning I get up, go out into the backyard studio and try to paint it. It never comes out the way I saw it in the dream.”

Aaron’s dream-inspired paintings will be featured at this month’s Beverly Hills Affaire In The Gardens Art Show on October 15 and 16. His abstract satire paintings are not actually intended to immediately reveal their true form. For many buyers it’s the specific blend of colors, unique titles that captivate their attention. In fact, the former pulp fiction writer attributes his famously misspelled titles as being one of the big draws for collectors of his works.

“Some people buy it by the name--they simply like the name,” he said while pointing to his latest work entitled “Thee Muscaters”, his rendition of The Musketeers.

Painting is a passion that grew out of his previous business. Aaron is cofounder and former chief executive offi-

Company Brings Revolutionary Technology To BH Pools everly Hills residents are known for being early adopters of new technology. And it looks like swimming pool and spa owners in the area will get another chance to be the first to clean their pool and spa water with new Clean Light Technology by DeltaUV in Gardena.

Used widely in commercial pools where this type of product is mandated by several U.S. states, local manufacturer, DeltaUV, has employed the technology to create a new product specifically for residential swimming pools and spas.

Besides improving the swimming pool water, the product actually helps significantly reduce chemical consumption.

“When customers contact me looking for an alternative to traditional chlorine sanitation, it’s easy to sell them on the benefits of a UV system,” says Torrell Lebron of Crystal Clear Pool & Spa. “We have installed many of these environmentally friendly units on both pools and spas in the greater Beverly Hills area and all our customers are extremely happy with their water quality…not only is their water cleaner and clearer, but they are also pleased with their reduced chemical usage.”

This new technology is being launched to consumers in Beverly Hills this month. Pool owners should

B

look for postcards in the mail offering them a special introductory price to have one of these units installed on their existing pool.

The manufacturer promises that users will not only enjoy cleaner, clearer swimming pool water, but will also drastically reduce their chemical usage—which is better for consumer health and better for the environment Once again, Beverly Hills and the state of California are leading the way in eco-friendly products for every day

life.

Residents can also contact the company directly—whether or not they get a postcard: 866-889-8765 or visit http://beverlyhills.deltauv-.com.

erly High and city homes until it is too late to gather data.

“The City has considered the district’s request for a joint defense agreement and declines to participate...at this time,” the letter stated. “We believe it is important to have the benefit of the information contained in the Final Environmental Impact Report and the technical studies before... consideration of such an agreement.”

The “technical studies” Kolin refers to are Metro's own studies, none of which have been released, despite efforts by the BHUSD to obtain them.

Metro has also firmly rejected requests by the City to see that data.

Mayor Barry Brucker said he was not comfortable with a joint defense agreement at this point, due to what he alleges is a lack of clarity in what the agreement would entail. The City has not requested a draft agreement and has not proposed one.

“Without a clearly defined agreement of roles and responsibilities with respect to who our point person will be, who is charged with speaking on behalf of both entities and how the financial decisions will be made I could not support it,” Brucker said. “Any challenge to a Metro decision must be methodical, professional and well thought out. In my opinion taking a hysterical grenade tossing approach will not advance our ultimate goal and objective.”

From the moment our journey begins, so does our struggle for communicating our needs and comprehending the needs of others. Yet this ability is at times compromised, and the mind becomes trapped in a shell.

The reference was to Brucker’s continued slurs against BHUSD board members for their stance against Metro. The Courier has not found any witnesses to corroborate Brucker’s accusation, which he has made for many months.

While the approaches are different, Brucker tried to claim the City and the district are working towards the same goal.

“The City is taking a ... low key methodical and surgical approach to achieving our mutual goal,” Brucker said. “We are ready and willing to share data with the district at any time. Unfortunately, the district has elected to not share data with us claiming (it) may be privileged attorney work product.”

Data sharing without a joint defense agreement destroys the attorney/client privilege for the information thus allowing Metro full access. The City has no such data to share and has refused to gather any. On many occasions, data and information provided by the BHUSD to the City has

ended up in the hands of Metro and formed the basis for press releases and other countermeasures.

Brucker told The Courier a joint defense agreement may be beneficial in the future, depending on what the “independent analysis comes back with.” The decision will be made after the EIR is reviewed by Exponent and Shannon & Wilson, geotech and engineering firms hired by the City.

“I think (we) just need to wait until we get the independent analysis from our experts and consultants,” Brucker said.

“We have never been closed to communicating and sharing data with the school district.

We’ve offered to send our engineers and City personnel to the school district to... review any technical data thus gathered.”

No City personnel are qualified as experts to testify in court on tunnels and school construction over those tunnels.

Despite the unannounced abbreviated tour with L.A.

LOW INCOME SENIOR HOUSING Opportunity to be added to the Wait List. Single (Studio) and One Bedroom Units. A limited number of applications for Beverly Hills Senior Housing located at 225 N. Crescent Dr., Beverly Hills, CA 90210 will be available starting October 10, 2011 at 9:00 A.M., by calling (818) 972-4410.

Applications will not be available at the property. Applicants must be 62 years of age at the time of application and meet HUD approved income limits, one person $29,900 and two people $34,200. Rent is 30% of qualified tenant’s adjusted income. Applications must have a returned postmark by November 12, 2011 to be eligible. A lottery will determine up to 600 applicants to be added to the wait list.

BEVERLY HILLS County Supervisor and MTA Boardmember Mark Ridley Thomas facilitated by Brucker, Vice Mayor Willie Brien and Kolin, should the City “need to schedule a tour of school district facilities and include information known only to the district and its technical experts” they will “of course, contact the appropriate district personnel,” Kolin’s letter stated.

This latest refusal to form a joint defense agreement was discussed in City Council closed session. Councilman John Mirisch said he felt the City should be doing a better job of working together with the schools. When brought up in open session two months ago, the council voted 3-2 to reject a joint defense agreement.

Brucker, Brien and Councilmember Julian Gold voted to refuse the agreement; Mirisch and Councilmember Lili Bosse voted in favor.

“I’ve never made any secret of it,” Mirisch said. “I’ve been continuing to try to push for more and better communication with the schools. But, the council majority was not in favor of it.”

If a tunnel under Beverly High is “inevitable,” Brucker said he believed it would be “irresponsible” to make certain all safety and construction challenges are mitigated and paid for by Metro. He gave no information on how such a goal could be accomplished. Metro contends their current plans for either tunnel are safe.

Last week, Brucker cited “health risks” in voting to remove the 60-year-old oil wells from Beverly High. None of the councilmembers presented any new evidence of risk to students, faculty or anyone else on the campus.

As Board of Education president at the time, Brucker was adamant Brockovich had no evidence of any harm and there was no risk at all. The Los Angeles Superior Court agreed and dismissed the case.

“If at the end of the day, it is determined that the alignment is going under the high school and there are no remedies left to preclude it from being built, then my goal and objective will be to make certain that the high school has the ability and financial guarantees to modernize and build safely and efficiently so that our kids can be serviced for the next 50 plus years,” Brucker said.

All experts, including the California Division of State Architect, have stated that rebuilding or modernizing a public school above a subway tunnel has never been done in California.

Board President Lisa Korbatov said the district believed a joint defense agreement would be beneficial. “The BHUSD continues to believe that our mutual goal of protecting Beverly Hills High School will be better served by working in unison with the City Council, instead of on two different tracks,” Korbatov said.

Parliament Member At Yom Kippur Service Shlomo Molla, the first Ethiopian member of the Israeli Parliament, named deputy speaker in August, will be a special guest of Rabbi David Baron at Yom Kippur High Holy Day Services at 8:30 p.m., tonight at the Beverly Hills Temple of the Arts at the Saban Theatre, 8440 Wilshire Blvd.

Molla will tell his dramatic story of escape across the Sudan to freedom.

Also speaking at the service

will be the mayor of Ashkelon in Israel, Benny Vaknin, whose city near Gaza has been subjected to persistent missile fire from the Hamas controlled Shlomo Pa l e s t i n i a n Molla enclave.

PARKING (Continued from page 4)

machines installed throughout the facility prior to returning to their parked vehicle.

“You can actually enter and exit the facility with your credit card and not even take a ticket, which is a ‘green’ feature we’ve added,” Lynn said.

Although the new green feature currently works, it is still undergoing network updates. Other green initiatives have recently been implemented at the five parking structures on Santa Monica Boulevard, where receipts are now optional. Patrons can pay for their space at any of the four machines located at each lot.

According to Lynn, the most questions he receives regard parking tickets. Cited in-

dividuals have three appeals for each parking ticket; an initial review, a hearing and a court appeal.

Lynn recommends if opting to contest, do so immediately by mail, online or in person to “stop the clock on the ticket.”

He also recommends providing as much information and documentation as possible to increase the likelihood of receiving adjudication from the city on the ticket.

Contrary to popular belief, the city is not focused on receiving fines through parking citations. In fact, the city offers a courtesy dismal for overnight parking citations.

“It’s about educating people about our program, not about writing a citation,” Lynn said.

campus security, what the policy would be and where the funding for a school resource officer would come from.

“Working with security experts, we’ve began to design controlled entrance points with magnetized gates where only authorized personnel will be able to have access to those gates, while also having the ability to maintain the aesthetic beauty of the campus,” Goldberg said.

A large portion of the discussion was targeted at rewarding good teachers, providing aid for struggling teachers and forming a strategy to eliminate teachers unable to meet the standards.

“One thing I would do is talk to the union about forming a task force that could support teachers who are having difficulties. Students who have difficulties get help, and teachers

BEVERLY HILLS should too,” Margo said.

With the advancement of computer programming and available software, education through technology has quickly become a popular tool for school districts.

“You’ve got to get the iPads, you don’t need to schlep textbooks around anymore. A classroom has to be more interactive, it’s a whole new way of teaching. Technology is a wonderful thing,” Bilak said.

Candidates were also asked how they were going to help Beverly students with college admission.

“Only three students are now attending, from this past graduating class, ivy league schools. A 300 percent decrease from what was happening just a few years ago. (This statistic) compelled me to run.

I’m not a politician; I’m an educator, businessman and technology specialist, and I can help this district,” Hall concluded.

Astrology

By Holiday Mathis TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 7).

You have an instant rapport with people this month. You’ll quickly bond with a group that hangs on your every word and gesture. And though it will be fun to be a star, you’ll also enjoy the escape to a new locale that comes in December. Family additions happen in May. There’s a competition in June, and you’ll take home a prize. Capricorn and Aquarius people adore you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your excellent sense of timing puts your audience in the palm of your hand. Though it probably will be a rather small audience—fewer than three people for most of the day–you’ll be a hit.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Though you are a bit cautious when it comes to new adventures, you will get involved in one and the results are beyond brilliant.

Your surprise will equal your delight.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You relate everyday matters to large-scale philosophical and political issues, and somehow this doesn’t come off as heavy handed at all. You’ll be light and lively as you inspire and educate others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Your hunches will be either ridiculously off target or eerily correct.

Either way, if you follow them, the day’s whimsy will be high entertainment for you and your loved ones.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). No one can convince you to move at a pace other than the rhythm of your own heart. You’ll make a personal commitment when you're good and ready to do so, or not at all.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). You’ll be full of both questions and answers. Once you form an opinion, though, you’ll convince yourself of it so thoroughly that it will only be one more step to convince someone else.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). You will prefer to run the show. You would have made a gifted producer or director, and though today’s task will not be an entertainment vehicle for the masses, it still will be a masterpiece.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). You’re a romantic at heart and have an idealism in matters of love that belies the down-to-earth pragmatism you display regarding almost everything else. You’ll be won over

Sooky Goldman

by a dewy show of affection.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are full of ideas, hardly a practical one in the bunch. That’s what will make you so mysterious and attractive, especially to people who are a little dry in the creativity department these days.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are protective and nurturing, and you’ll thrive when you know it's up to you to take care of loved ones. Could they, in all actuality, care for themselves? Maybe so.

But just for now, it’s nicer for both of you when you take over.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll have a laid-back attitude, letting relationships and business opportunities come to you instead of seeking them out. Because you’re not trying too hard, others will probably assume you already have what you need and want.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Those around you may view you as lucky. Actually, what they see is not luck, but a purposeful and practical sequence of the setting and acquisition of your goals.

SILVER ANNIVERARY–The Nov. 14 gala celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Barbara Sinatra Children’s Center will honor (from left) Helene Galen, Barbara Sinatra and Nelda Linsk.

Photo by Michael Childers

While it may not feel like fall, our postman’s mailbag is getting heavier due to the increase in the number of autumnal, pre-season “save-thedates” he is duty-bound to deliver. One of the earliest gala announcements came from the Barbara Sinatra Children’s Center, which will celebrate its 25th anniversary Nov. 14, at the Hyatt Grand Champions Resort, Villas & Spa in Indian Wells.

More than 17,000 child victims of abuse have been helped since the center, founded and funded by Barbara and Frank Sinatra, opened in 1986, to provide community education and counseling. This year three very instrumental ladies consistently committed to the mission of the center will be honored: namesake, Barbara Sinatra, local philanthropist and major USC benefactor Helene Galen; and, Barbara’s BFF and tireless advocate for the center, Nelda Linsk.

Of course, no event associated with the Sinatra name could be without music, and the gala will feature one of the world’s finest and piano stylists, Michael Feinstein, performing many of songs associated with “Ol’ Blue Eyes.” Sharing the stage will be Luca Ellis, Carol Welsman and Peter Marshall–backed up by Les Brown’s Band of Renown. Tickets for the gala start at $500 per person. More information at 760-837-8337.

BEVERLY HILLS

From the Publisher CLIF SMITH

WE WILL NOT BACK OFF BUT WE WILL KEEP SMILING You know what happens when you go against the “insiders” in Beverly Hills?

Whisper campaign, slurs, allegations that “he’s not one of us,” and non-sequitur arguments that would make a political spin doctor proud. They also start making policy disagreements personal, and find all kinds of faults you probably have but others previously had the politeness not to point out. The reason for this is they don’t have the facts or merits on their side, so they go personal. A personal attack ALWAYS means the person attacked is probably right.

OK. So Beverly Hills has human beings in it. That’s fine. Most of the time–to your face–people here smile and are civil to each other–a characteristic not uniformly practiced elsewhere. Just another reason why we love Beverly Hills.

We invited Mayor Barry Brucker to visit our editorial board to discuss his positions. To date, he has refused to defend our school district from the Metro tunnel under dozens of homes and our high school. He has ordered thousands of dollars of legal work to try to find a way to circumvent the clear requirement of an Environmental Impact Report about the massive new buildings he wants at Roxbury Park. He’s had citizen meetings about the Roxbury building cancelled after City staff promised more sessions.

He and the majority of the council decided that all-of-a-sudden the old oil wells on the Beverly High campus must go–in 2016–because of “health hazards,” hazards that apparently did not exist eight years ago when Erin Brockovich, et al., were suing about them. He OK’d sending our paid staff on our dime to Bell to help them do something (raise salaries to our levels? get them “under control”? turn the lights on/off?) He and Vice Mayor Willie Brien constantly defend City staff–when they can find them–for poor work and bad advice.

According to the mayor, the City has no money for CPR, Rodeo Drive and promotions, but has $4.2 million to recarpet the library. When G&L Realty wanted two hours free parking (like just about everyone else in Beverly Hills), instead of accepting a money-generating compromise he dug in and brought about the Measure 2P/3P election and spent massive amounts in legal fees to fight it.

There is nothing personal about these issues–he’s the mayor and we as the newspaper of Beverly Hills find his reasoning and decisions highly suspect. To us, they signify an authoritarian approach contrary to how he campaigned and previously served. We also believe that every one of these decisions is bad for Beverly Hills. In this, we are joined by thousands. Were it not for his previous record of fine service, we would dismiss these decisions as just plain bad judgment. Since “bad judgment” contradicts his prior record, we’d like him to explain why he has thrown out years of open government to force these things on all of us?

Because of his past record, which his current record contradicts, The Courier invited Mayor Brucker to visit our editorial board. Barry has visited our editorial board twice before–for both runs for City Council. As far as we know, he enjoyed the experience and believed (and said) we were very fair, well-prepared and accurate. We have not changed.

We have an editorial board because we actually have a number of editors, unlike other publications around here. They are skilled, qualified and experienced. They run The Courier and do a great job. “Editorial boards” are the traditional way in which newspapers visit with elected officials and candidates. That means any exchange is truly between the official or office-seeker and the newspaper, not a personal matter.

Mayor Brucker declined our invitation in what is actually a very flattering way: he offered to have a one-on-one with this writer. Now, we in the newspaper business believe we are doing the people’s work, and stand for “reelection” with every issue, but it is seldom that an elected mayor actually offers equal billing on a stage or studio with a newspaper publisher and then wants to provide the stage (the City’s TV studio). That is very flattering. No. We follow the tenets of the newspaper industry and our invitation is to appear before our editorial board. That invitation remains open to Mayor Brucker.

As for our policy, we absolutely will not stop defending Beverly Hills. Our citizens thoroughly vetted the subway proposal and in 2007 endorsed the Wilshire to Santa Monica route. No tunneling under our homes or our schools was ever proposed. Metro is pulling a bait-and-switch on Beverly Hills and the ultimate victim is Beverly High. Brucker refuses to prepare to fight. Brien and councilmember Julian Gold, violating a firm campaign pledge, also refuse to prepare to fight.

Instead of fighting Los Angeles City Hall and Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky for the bait-and-switch, Mayor Brucker attacks our school board and tries to usurp their authority. He plants stories about “hysterical grenades” and perpetuates stereotypes. He throws out arguments based on technical information without having that information, then refuses to fund getting that information. He’s now bringing up the “cost” of fighting, as though the City lacks the funds. Why? We believe the people have a right to know and he’s not telling it straight.

In the meantime, The Courier will not back off. This really is a fight. It is a knock-down political battle with Villaraigosa, Yaroslavsky and the real estate interests of Century City. Pretending it is only a matter of polite conversation, as does Brucker, does not protect Beverly Hills. The future of our City is at stake.

So, we’ll just have to put up with people being people. We’ll just expect more of the same slurs and whispers since they lose on the merits. We can smile, too.

[It must be noted that despite policy differences, the mayor was kind enough to invite this writer to join him on the annual New York City trade and tourism mission to help promote Beverly Hills (I am a director of the Conference & Visitors Bureau and would attend in that capacity as well). We have done that before and, from personal experience, Barry does a fine job representing our interests there as did former Mayors Linda Briskman and Jimmy Delshad.]

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR It is a puzzle how the City Council leaders–who have served years on the BH Board of Education and initiated the most ambitious funding support through a JPA–can be so elusive regarding their decision to refuse to cooperate with the school board’s opposition to the MTA’s plan to tunnel under Beverly High .

The Courier’s article (“Council hires firm for peer review of subway project” on the subject tells all in the last paragraph: “Remaining unanswered is the question of why the Beverly Hills City Council majority refuses to take serious action to oppose the tunnel . . “ So, when can we the voters expect an answer? Either the council leaders think the City cannot fight the MTA on this issue or the tunnel actually is in the interest of the City.

If we don’t get a direct answer or if the answer is not in our interest, the voters will have to select new leaders.

Roy Young ****** I am surprised no one has written to express their concern about the closure of all but daytime ESL classes in the Beverly Hills Adult School.

As a property owner, builder, resident and father here in Beverly Hills, I feel the community has been negatively impacted by closing the longtime, vibrant adult program, which serviced our residents and non-native residents in a meaningful way.

The non-academic classes of

Rabbi Jacob Pressman is taking the week off but wishes you a wonderful New Year (Shana Tova–5772) and a solemn fast. yoga, cooking, art, etc. certainly enhanced the lives of lifelong learners, many of whom are elderly and have paid taxes for many years.

The academic subjects, such as foreign languages and English as a second language, were even more profound in their impact.

I understand the school district has budget concerns, and the non-academic subjects could no longer be sustained, but, in particular, closing the English as a second language program and leaving only a handful of daytime classes simply doesn't make good business sense.

When non-native residents take English classes, they are better able to help their children with schoolwork and boosting test scores. When non-native visitors take English classes, then return to their native countries, they spread the goodwill and good name of our lovely City. They also spend money here, which helps local businesses.

Through my foundation, I have sponsored scores of European young people, bringing them here to study English. It was a joy to know they could take daytime and evening classes in a safe, charming, supportive environment with truly dedicated

teachers. I am shocked there is now only one teacher left, who, luckily, is the former and quite capable ESL Coordinator Esther Caporale, a strong teacher who’s always been an asset to our community and a strong advocate for non-natives.

The young people I sponsored were already college graduates, did not need college credits, and simply needed to learn more English.

Why should I have to send them to Santa Monica or other cities when I am a taxpayer, homeowner and voter here in Beverly Hills?

During these challenging economic times, learning English is more important than ever to make non-native individuals more employable and parents more capable of protecting and educating their children. I hope the Board of Education will consider keeping and expanding the ESL program to provide this vital service to Beverly Hills. Please do not “lump” learning English with learning to do yoga’s “downward dog”– they are not in the same category of lifelong and life-altering learning. I speak for a great many others who lament the closure of the adult program, but perhaps didn’t have the time to write.
