Election Day Tuesday: TAXES, TAXES, TAXES, TAXES!

By Matt Lopez and Marla Schevker Tuesday is Election Day and when Beverly Hills residents step up to the ballot box, they might also be stepping into a world of seemingly never-ending tax

hikes.

Tax increases are a common theme of this year’s election, with several measures and propositions aimed at increasing taxes, with threats to cut funding from important areas like public

education if these tax hikes are not passed.

Beverly Hills residents will be asked to vote on Measure J, a 30-year extension of the halfcent sales tax called Measure R that voters approved in 2009 and

is set to expire in 2039. Measure J, if approved, would expire in 2069.

Proponents of Measure J include Metro and the Los Angeles (see ‘TAXES’ page 8)

By Laura Coleman The Board of Education voted 4-1 on Tuesday to expend over $350,000 from the general fund on food services through June. Board president Brian Goldberg was the lone ‘no’ vote at the Oct. 31 special board meeting where the board spent less than an hour deciding to expend up to $180,000 more to have Choicelunch provide food service at the K-8 level than it unanimously voted to do on Oct. 23.

Beverly Hills Post Office Moves Forward With Relocation Plans

By Matt Lopez The United States Postal Service (USPS) inched closer to relocating its Beverly Hills office to a smaller building somewhere in the City.

USPS spokesman Richard Maher confirmed to The Courier that USPS has been given authorization to move to sell its 167,000 square foot property at 315 North Maple Drive.

Maher said the property is currently up for sale through

CBRE Group, Inc. While that property holds roughly 7,000 post office boxes, Maher said the USPS is scouting nearby locations, looking for a much smaller 10,000 square foot building that would hold only 3,500 P.O. boxes.

That number, however, is much more than is currently being used at the 315 N. Maple Drive location. Maher said the (see ‘USPS’ page 20)

Fashion News & Notes MOCA, Levi's Tie Up for T-shirt Project Fashion, technology and art converged to brew a creative collaboration between Levi’s, Intel and Los Angeles’ Museum of Contemporary Art and young talent from the entertainment and art worlds.

At a party Tuesday night at MOCA, the museum unveiled $34 T-shirts that were designed by actor Gael García Bernal, singer Santigold and artists Mariko Mori and Xu Bing. The tops will be sold starting Nov. 4 at MOCA, on Levi’s Web site and through its stores in the U.S., Asia, Australia and Europe. Intel and Levi’s pledged to contribute $100,000 from the T-shirt sales to the museum’s educational programs.

MOCA director Jeffrey Deitch is also eager to work with brands from the fashion industry. Past collaborators include Chanel, MAC Cosmetics and Fendi, the latter of which he’d like to link with again. “Decades ago, it would be banks that funded museums,” he said. “They don’t do that anymore. Now, we’re collaborating with brands like these.”

By Matt Lopez In an effort to bridge the gap between athletics at Beverly Hills High School and the four K-8 schools, the Beverly Hills Unified School District is set to start a middle school sports program.

The fall program will begin with tryouts on Nov. 5 for boys and girls varsity and junior varsity basketball. The season will begin on Nov. 15 and run

through Dec. 8, when the playoffs will begin at the Swim Gym at Beverly Hills High.

“We are promoting excellence with this league,” Horace Mann principal and league commissioner Steve Kessler told The Courier. “This is just another gap we think we can close between the middle schools and the high school.”

groups impacted by Metro's projects.

“There is no accountability whatsoever in Metro. The passage of Measure J would give MTA unlimited amounts of leeway to first ignore the community concerns and continue with [the] destructive projects that both Measure R and Measure J are pushing for,” Bus Riders Spokesperson Sunyoung Yang has previously said.

“Metro has ignored BHUSD's concerns regarding safety, noise, vibration and our future development plans on the site,” Board of Education President Brian Goldberg told The Courier. “By passing Measure J, we'd be providing a blank check to Metro to accelerate those plans to disrupt our

high school and our students education process.

Antonovich said he was against the Meausre J because it doesn't meet the needs of the community including bus routes, cheaper fairs or convenient rail connections.

“It has no rail connections to our airports,” Antonovich said. “The Green Line won’t go to LAX because the funding is not adequate in Measure R. The (Gold Line) will not go to Ontario Airport because it doesn’t go to Claremont. The Blue Line doesn’t go to Long Beach Airport, or Bob Hope or Palmdale (Airports).”

Outside of Measure J, Propositions 30 and 38 are the big tax increases voters are being asked to decide on. Prop.

30 is Gov. Jerry Brown’s massive tax hike, a $50 billion tax increase that will impact residents statewide, that threatens “trigger cuts” to public education if not passed. The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, one of the strongest opponents of Prop. 30, isn’t buying it.

“It’s a scare tactic,” said David Wolfe, legislative Director of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association (HJTPA) told The Courier. “If you look at the language, the trigger cuts are not in Prop. 30. Where are they? In the budget. There’s nothing stopping the legislature when they reconvene in December or January from going back and figuring out how else they want to make $8 billion in cuts.”

BEVERLY HILLS Tuesday’s tax-increasing propositions come on the heels of an announcement from the Los Angeles City Council Wednesday that it will move forward with drawing up four new possible tax hikes to put on the March ballot.

Chief among those is a half-cent sales tax increase.

“That really kind of sums up the entire problem Californians have,” HJTPA Executive Director Kris Vosburgh told The Courier. “What has happened in L.A. and most of California is government is stepping forward as militant special interests and looking after the caring and feeding of their own, giving that a higher priority than the welfare of the community at large.”

to $800,000 or $900,000.”

The agreement comes on the heels of current provider Chartwells’ decision to terminate its contract with the district, effective Nov. 16.

Chartwells has been criticized for decreasing food quality in an effort to remain profitable and last month asked to be paid an additional $25,000, after having asked and received an additional $75,000 above what was specified in the contract. The district refused and Chartwells exercised it’s 30day out clause, leaving the board with a month to decide how best to feed approximately 800 K-8 students and 400 high schoolers every day.

Goldberg said the board’s decision to negotiate with Choicelunch to provide food service beyond the price point approved last week will have a direct impact on the programs and positions the district will be able to maintain.

The board must submit a 2013/14 budget to the Los Angeles County Office of Education in December that reflects up to $6 million in cuts, if Proposition 30 fails to pass on Tuesday.

“I can’t imagine that parents, knowing that we’re going to have to make the choice between cutting programs and teachers, would make the choice to waste money on food

services,” Goldberg said.

The school district is mandated by state law to provide free and reduced lunches to its students in a manner that does not identify the students who make use of the program. Approximately 6 to 8 percent of Beverly Hills students qualify for the program.

One option the board examined was, for example, reducing the 16 food service employees at the high school to four part-time employees.

Murakawa-Leopard is currently working with Choicelunch to see if it can also provide delivery service to the high school. Choicelunch currently serves 250 K-8

schools throughout the state and offers 16 organic entrée choices daily, including sushi.

On Wednesday, the board also approved the elimination of 14 food services postions and the reduction of an additional three positions. The layoffs will become effective at the end of December. By law, classified employees must be given 45-days notice before a layoff can go into effect.

Murakawa-Leopard told The Courier that costs related to layoffs were not taken into account in food services program costs.

Goldberg estimated that total costs could stretch beyond what the board approved.

The money raised towards Measure J would go for Metro to fund transportation projects throughout the county. According to Metro, Measure J is projected to raise $90 billion over to accelerate projects including the Westside Subway Extension.

The district has already spent $75,000 on food service this year. Under the revised service model presented to the board on Wednesday, the district will now spend an additional $200,000 to $280,000 from its general fund through June.

“It could be a much worse situation,” Board VP Jake Manaster said. “It could be back up

The celebrating will feature live cooking demos, passed hors d’oeuvres made by students, music and much more. Smith founded the program as a way to give back to the Beverly Hills

community.

“When I came to Beverly Hills High School, I started from scratch,” Smith said. “We turned the program around and it is now the number one elective.”

The course, “Instruction to Culinary Arts”, provides students in grades 10-12 with a balanced program that provides both culinary and life skills.

“Darrell’s dedication to this program is undeniable,” BHHS principal Carter Paysinger said. “He came in and revamped everything.”

From there, discussion will move to the municipal gallery.

The meeting comes after last Tuesday’s council meeting, when the approval of a $331,637 purchase order with Willy Bietak Productions for the rink was tabled after residents voiced concerns about possible impacts to their neighborhood.

Residents were concerned about parking impacts, as well as noise, loiterers and trash.

Although the rink was approved on Aug. 7, the neighbors said they received no communication from the City until a letter dated Sept. 28.

The rink was scheduled to open Nov. 18 and run for seven weeks, from 2 to 8 p.m. Monday-Friday and noon to 8 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Bosse said if the residents don’t want the rink at the park, it would likely be placed at the “boat court” at City Hall between the City Hall building and the Fire Department building.

“We’re definitely going to have ice skating in our city,” Bosse said. “But the residential impacts are more important than the location.”

The Normans will close the regular season next Friday at 7 p.m. at Culver City.

KCET Documentary Highlights Actions Of Brave Army Team During World War II To kick off its Veteran’s Day programming line-up, KCET will air the feature-length documentary, Honor Bound: A Personal Journey, Monday at 9 p.m.

The film tells the story of Wendy Hanamura, a news reporter, who chronicles the history of her father, Sgt. Howard Hanamura, and his military unit: Company L, First Platoon, of the highly decorated yet controversial 442nd Regiment of the U.S. Army.

These Japanese-American soldiers fought with legendary courage during World War II, while their families were forced into internment camps at home.

The award-winning documentary follows the Hanamuras throughout Europe, where they retrace the steps of the 442nd.

Sgt. Hanamura and his fellow soldiers detail their battles, the hardships of wartime travel as well as life as a Japanese-American during WWII. Veterans also recount the 442nd’s rescue of the “Lost Battalion,” an operation the Army calls one of the top 10 battles of all time.

Special KCET Veteran’s Day programs on Sunday, Nov. 11 include: • Defending the Homeland: Native Americans In The United States Armed Forces (1:30-2 p.m.) The documentary tells the stories of Native Americans who have participated in the US military, from the American Revolution to present day Iraq, showcasing their emotional

battles both overseas as warriors and at home as veterans.

• California At War (2-3 p.m.): Discover how World War II impacted California more than any other state. This documentary connects California’s past to its present and reveals that many of the opportunities and challenges of today are rooted from WWII. • Tragedy Of Bataan (3-3:30 p.m.): Narrated by Alec Baldwin, the program chronicles the fall of the Philippines and the Bataan Death March in the early months of World War II. It contains firstaccount interviews with more than 20 former survivors, several unpublished diaries, rare photos and drawings and never before seen Japanese propaganda film footage.

• Angle Of Attack (3:30-5:30 p.m.): Uncover the 100-year history of Naval aviation. The two-hour documentary interweaves archival footage, interviews with historical and military experts, contemporary footage of aircraft and insights from today’s “top gun” fighter pilots in the Marine Corps and Navy.

• 44nd: Live With Honor, Die With Dignity (10:30 p.m.-midnight): This film shares the unsung heroism of the 442 Regiment, formed in 1942 from “Nissei” (second-generation) Japanese in internment camps and officers discharged from the U.S. Army subsequent to Pearl Harbor. Sen. Daniel Inoue and actor/activist George Takei appear.

CHLA Names Jonathan Finlay Head Of New Neuro-Oncology Program Jonathan Finlay, M.D., director of the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) Neural Tumors Program in the Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Diseases, has been named to an endowed chair as director of the hospital’s newly-established inter-departmental neuro-oncology program.

Finlay, a leading international authority in the management of the brain tumors of children, adolescents and young adults, will conduct research and education activities to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to treat brain cancer in children.

“This multi-disciplinary collaboration under Dr. Finlay’s direction will lead to the development of innovative treatment strategies for childhood brain cancer,” says D. Brent Polk, M.D., department of pediatrics chair and CHLA VP of academic affairs.

Finlay’s work in the field of pediatric hematology-oncology has been recognized around the world. He pioneered the approach of using high-dose, marrow-destructive chemotherapy with autologous peripheral blood-cell transplantation to improve both the cure rates and minimize the adverse neurocognitive effects of radiation therapy in preschool children with malignant brain tumors.

Internationally, he is creating a firstof-its-kind care model for improving early diagnosis and the triaging of the treat-

ment of children with brain tumors in under-developed nations.

Finlay, a professor of pediatrics, neurology and neurological surgery at USC’s Keck School of Medicine, arrived at Children’s Hospital in 2003 as clinical director of the Neural Dr. Jonathan Finlay Tumors Program.

His work has always been at the forefront of the field.

He was a co-leader in a cancer study that connected an otherwise rare childhood malignant brain tumor, choroid plexus carcinoma, with a mutation of the P53 gene responsible for the Li-Fraumani Family Cancer Predisposition Syndrome.

The findings concluded that children with this rare brain tumor should be tested for the P53 mutation, and if present, family members should also be tested.

Finlay’s group has shown that implementing appropriate cancer screening strategies improves the cure rates for patients with cancers diagnosed early through such surveillance screening.

consulting its full body of members.

Among those endorsements was public support of Measure J, an endorsement that directly attacks the Beverly Hills Unified School District and its opposition to Measure J. If Measure J passes, a halfcent sales tax approved by voters in 2009 is extended 30 more years to end in 2069.

Many have called this measure a “blank check” for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

According to a survey conducted on 32 local Chamber of Commerce’s, five of the 23 that responded opposed J while six supported. 10 took no position on the measure. For the most part, the six that supported (Beverly Hills, Culver City, LAX Coastal Area, Pasadena, Redondo Beach and Santa Monica) are near rail lines. Carson, Lomita, Long Beach, Palos Verdes and Torrance opposed J. The chamber’s political stances were discussed at its Government Affairs Committee meeting on Aug. 23. From there, the executive committee made recommendations to the Board of Directors. Mark Egerman, a member of the

As a special bonus for shoppers strolling along the world’s most prestigious threeblock strip, six haute couture designs by Dior’s Raf Simons graced the window display against a backdrop of fresh flowers during its first few days after reopening. Among the couture pieces, which departed Saturday evening on a private jet to Paris, is a gorgeous flower-like dress made from hand-frayed pieces of chiffon and organza that were handstitched onto the gown. That particular dress took 700 hours to make.

Chamber’s Board of Directors, said the Measure J consensus was taken from an e-mail vote.

The Courier has confirmed that at least one member of the 30person board did not partake in the e-mail vote on the measure.

Calls to Executive Director Alex Stettinski for numbers on the final vote and how many members actually voted were not returned.

Egerman said it’s not unusual for the board to vote via e-mail rather than in person at a formal meeting.

“I’ve conducted business both ways and both ways work,” Egerman said.

Egerman said it took a twothirds vote of support for the Chamber to endorse it.

Egerman acknowledged none of the more than 600 individual Chamber of Commerce members were not polled for their thoughts on the ballot measures. He said it was strictly a stance taken by the Board of Directors.

“We don’t speak for individual members,” he said.

Egerman averred the “consensus was that (Measure J) is beneficial to our City.”

In addition to Measure J, the chamber supported Proposition 30, a massive tax hike for California residents. he told The Courier.

The event kicks off at Beverly Hills High School at 11 a.m. and goes until 4 p.m.

For more information, call 310-557-0651.

The event will begin at 10:30 a.m. on Nov. 4 at The Globe Theater at Universal Studios Hollywood. The day will include brunch, a presentation by campers and families, and tickets to Universal Studios.

Tickets are $300 for adults and $150 for children 15 or younger. Visit jbbbsla.org for more information. drive comes on the heels of the foundation’s “Rescue Dog” fundraising gala held on Thursday evening at 2 Rodeo.

RENT

(continued from page 1)

who opened Lucerne Hardware store with his late brother before merging it with Pioneer, told The Courier the structure was built with a bond floated by the City, the purpose being to open stores that were “covenience commercial”.

“Because the rents for the rest of the City were escalating, services that were needed to survive were being forced out,” TIlem said. “They wanted to put stores that would accommodate residents and businesses needs.”

In Pioneer’s original lease with the City, it reads: “As part of the consideration for rental, City leases Premises to Leasee to provide convenience sales and services at prices affordable to persons of low to moderate income which otherwise would not be available or affordable to many citizens because of high rentals for similar space.”

Owner Jeff Tilem said that restriction in the lease, along with construction of the nearby Annenberg Center and closures on Crescent Drive for construction of a parking garage, have contributed to a decline in revenue that Pioneer and other tenants in the building have never recovered from.

City spokesperson Therese Kosterman said that the City

has “never enforced” that portion of the lease and is “open to changing it”.

Pioneer had originally been paying about $9,858 per month but after the construction and closures, tenants of the building received rent reductions.

In June 2010, Pioneer had its rent reduced to its current number of $7,299.72.

Come January 1, 2013, the lease ends and the rent jumps back to $9.389.27, a number Jeff Tilem says would put him out of business and “on Obamacare”.

Pioneer currently occupies 4,155 square feet of space. It was originally only 2,482 square feet, but it expanded to take over its current footprint when it took over the vacated space from a vitamin shop that closed some years ago.

The Tilem’s have offered to shrink the footprint of their store close to the original footprint to keep the current rent, although Jeff says that would be difficult for the store to do.

“If I shrink the store, I would be the only hardware store in the world without hardware,” Jeff Tilem said. “I wouldn’t have space to sell a lot of the screws, bolts and keys I sell now.”

City Manager Jeff Kolin confirmed to The Courier that discussion of shrinking the space and giving the City the

November 2, 2012 | Page 15 option to find a new tenant for the rest of the space will take place on Nov. 13 in closed session by the City Council.

There will also be discussion on a proposal to extend the current agreement through May of 2014, with the City having the option to terminate at any time with a 120-day notice.

“That’s just delaying the inevitable,” Jeff Tilem said. “That would be in place while they try to get a higher paying tenant to give me the boot.”

Pioneer serves not only the community, but also the nearby Sunrise Assisted Living Center.

Tilem said that during recent power outages in the City, Pioneer assisted seniors at the facility in fixing flashlights and canes, free of charge.

“I don’t want to be antagonistic, I just want to continue the hardware store and continue to make the City proud,” Jeff said.

A grassroots campaign among residents has started online, with a support page on Facebook and an online petition.

E-mails have been going around between customers of the store, many of whom are planning on attending the Nov. 13 formal council meeting and voicing their support for Pioneer during the public speaking period.

Joan Mangum The John Wayne Cancer Institute Auxiliary honored Gloria Gebbia, president of the Associates for Breast and Prostate Cancer Studies (affiliated with the institute), with the “Angel” award; and Col. Alexander Stojadinovic, M.D., FACS with the “Public Service” award at its annual Membership Luncheon/Holiday Boutique, in The Beverly Hills Hotel. Nancy Heim and Paula Pinhas cochaired with Laura Baron, host/life coach of VH1’s You’re Cut Off and A&E’s Monster In-Laws, emceeing.

JWCI Chairman Patrick Wayne presented the award to philanthropist Gloria, who founded Blondes Have More Fun Productions and was executive producer of the syndicated program Talk Of The Town. Currently, she and her family are owners of a successful B.H.-based brokerage firm, StockCross Financial, Inc. She was surrounded by her husband John, their sons John Michael, David and Richard and their wives, Elisa, Carlton and Kimberly and granddaughter Madison.

Col. Stojadinovic received his award from Anton Bilchik, M.D., JWCI’s chief of Medicine and the Gastrointestinal Research Program. The honoree is also professor of surgery at the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences in Bethesda and Gastrointestinal Cancer Program Leader at the U.S. Military Cancer Institute.

As JWCIA President Anita Swift said: “Each honoree has demonstrated a long-standing commitment as role models and dedicated supporters of cancer research around the globe.” She, along with treasurer Martha Harper, then presented a check for for $432,811 to Pat Wayne and Maureen Chung, MD, director of the Margie and Robert E. Petersen Breast Cancer Research Program at JWCI. The program included an educational presentation by Amy Rosenman, MD, gynecologist/urogynecologist at St John’s Health Center, entitled: “Things Your Mother Never Told You.” Prior to the luncheon, guests partook in the Holiday Boutique featuring fine and costume jewelry, clothing and accessories, stationery, as well as items with the vendors donating a portion of the proceeds to JWCIA. Also, I can’t forget Sister Marueen Craig’s invocation… which, per usual, was terrific… and funny.

Since 1981, the Wayne family has been committed to groundbreaking cancer research and education in memory of their father, who died of the disease.

A year later, two breast cancer survivors, Noreen Nelson and Sandy Cohen, began an auxiliary of volunteers to help fund research at the John Wayne Cancer Institute. The original group of 14 women invited to lunch that first year has grown to 800 members, who have raised more than $18 million for research, equipment and fellowships at JWCI. Those interested in supporting the institute’s efforts should phone 310-829-8324 or visit www.jwci.org. ****** The weather, well it couldn’t be any more perfect for The Rape Foundation’s yearly brunch held at Greenacres, the magnificent home of Ron Burkle, who for 18 years has donated his abode to this organization. The 800 supporters, who turned out, couldn’t be more appreciative of his beautiful surroundings.

The event honored founding boardmember Norman Lear, who for over a decade, personally raised a major portion of The Rape Treatment Center’s funding.

What followed was a lasting collaboration and an event that changed the nation’s consciousness about the crime. The result was an Emmy-winning All In the Family hour special called “Edith’s 50th Birthday.” During the production, many women who worked with Norman came forward and told him about being rape victims. He was profoundly moved by the devastation these women described and when The Rape Treatment Center needed support to serve the growing numbers of victims, they turned to Norman for help. He has been there ever since.

David Schwimmer (right) introduced Oscar nominee/Tony-winner Viola Davis, who hosted the brunch. She spoke movingly about when she was a child and her younger 8-year old sister was raped. She told what her sister went through emotionally and how indifferent people were and also revealed her mother had been a rape victim.

Lear spoke compassionately about the foundation and the wonderful work it does. Incredible as it seems, 1 in 6 women are rape victims while 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys are sexually abused before reaching age 18…The foundation funds needed services for victims and prevention/education programs in our community and across the country. It supports comprehensive treatment for such victims, such as emergency medical care, forensic services, professional counseling, advocacy and court accompaniment, sexual abuse prevention proPlease Call grams, educational films and brochures and Stuart House, a 310.278.1322 model facility serving sexually abused children.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 2). This year brings a surge of personal power, and you’ll conquer the fear holding you back. December sees you rise up the chain of command. January bonds you with a group of like minds–together unstoppable. You’ll invest in your appearance or transportation in March.

May brings a windfall. Capricorn and Aquarius people adore you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The one who finds the gold doesn’t have to start the rush. You’ll find a kind of treasure with great value to you. You’ll also be smart about what to share and when.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll learn from someone else, possibly someone intimidating. Having more knowledge doesn’t make a person better than anyone else, but it sometimes makes one believe this is true.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). In regard to a certain relationship, you make it seem like you are letting things unfold according to their own timeline.

Truthfully, you’re playing it cool, very much in control of the pacing.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A healing process is underway. You can’t speed it along, but you can take good care of yourself, putting yourself in the kind of supportive environment that will allow nature to take its course.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). A loved one may openly disagree with you, starting a lively debate. You may actually enjoy the argument and gain something valuable from it. Diverse opinions and talents make a relationship strong.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). Someone is waiting for you to make the first move.

Once it’s made, sparks will fly, and there will be no going back. So be sure this is really what you want.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). What should be familiar territory doesn’t seem to be at all because a new person is involved, who changes everything.

Pause to come up with an approach that will better suit the current scene.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You know you’re in love when no matter what a certain someone does, you think it’s just adorable. Others may not share that, but being so enamored they’ll think you’re “just adorable,” too.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You got where you are making a series of choices. Break them down in your head to figure out the particular choices that were the most effective. You want to repeat them to get to the next place.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll probably need to bounce from Plan A to Plan B. And be sure to make a contingency plan if that one doesn’t work out, either.

Luckily, whatever happens will be more fun than any previous plans.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ve always sensed being the rock in someone’s life, but you feel it more now that he or she is leaning on you. Ground yourself, as this feeling could last through the weekend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Being nice is important to you, not only because you think it’s the right way to be, but also because you know kindness is contagious. With your graceful handling of a situation, you’ll teach compassion.

Betty White Brings Down The House At BHHS Alumni Hall of Fame Betty White (‘39) walked into a packed ballroom in The Beverly Hilton and took her place in the history books as the inaugural inductee of the BHHS Performing Arts Alumni Hall of Fame.

Moments after Hall of Fame Chair Steven Fenton slipped the HOF letterman’s jacket on her, the indomitable White, 90, broke into an impromptu rendition of the Beverly High fight song.

She had the entire ballroom on its feet applauding

as she hit every note of the song.

Two separate power outages throughout the night couldn’t stop what many felt was the best Hall of Fame dinner in the six-year history of the Beverly Hills Athletic Alumni Association (BHAAA), Fenton said.

Without a microphone or lights, emcee Leeza Gibbons took to the stage with a bullhorn and flashlight to start the evening.

A short while latter the lights came back on, and

Ambassador Nicole Avant, Mayor Willie Brien, Horace Mann Principal Steve Kessler, Sandy Marks, Keri Frankenstein, David Weber, Rick Cunninghan and Betty White were the eight inducted into this year’s Hall of Fame.

Profits from this year’s event went to the Beverly High athletic and performing arts departments as well as the alumni association.

only difference residents will notice is having to travel for a different location to access their boxes. The USPS is proposing letter carriers relocate to the L.A. West Branch office at 820 N. San Vicente Blvd.

“Our intention is to maintain the same service to the community, with no closure or reduction in service,” Maher said.

The USPS has been in an uphill financial battle recently, citing continuing challenges battling e-mail technology. In a September presentation to the City Council, USPS representatives reported a 25 percent decline in first-class mail volume since 2008.

The USPS has reported a net loss of more than $25 billion over the last five years.

One major issue the USPS has had to battle is a future retiree health benefit prefunding obligation the company is forced to pay into. Congress passed a law in 2006 requiring the USPS to prepay 75 years worth of future retiree health benefits in an accelerated formula aimed to prepay the employee in just 10 years.

That means the USPS owes these employees roughly $5.5 billion each year.

For the first time this August, the USPS defaulted on that $5.5 billion payment to the U.S. Treasury.

With the announcement of the relocation now official, residents have 15 days to mail an appeal to the USPS at: Vice President, Facilities Pacific Facilities Service Office 1300 Evans Ave. Ste. 200 San Francisco, CA. 94188-0200.

Horace Mann Celebrates Halloween

Frances Allen Desert Roundup

What’s billed as the “biggest holiday event in the Coachella Valley,” attracting residents and tourists alike? According to local hoteliers it’s the annual Festival of Lights Parade, this year to be held Dec. 1 in downtown Palm Springs. The parade starts at 5:45 p.m. and begins at Palm Canyon Drive and Ramon Road, ending at Tamarisk Road.

Legendary movie producer Jerry Weintraub will serve as grand marshall of the parade,while a new position, that of the parade’s “Guardian Angel,” was created for local community leader and philanthropist Helene Galen.

Special attractions of the parade this year will be holidaythemed floats, giant Macy’s-style balloons along with ol’ Saint Nick and his reindeer riding aboard the Jackie Lee Houston Santa Claus Express, in honor of the woman who,throughout the years, made so many days seem like Christmas for so many people. ****** Graduation occurs about five times a year, and that’s a lot for any school. But class-size at Guide Dogs of the Desert is small and the graduates are eager to get on with their lives of assisting their blind companions; their two-legged classmates are excited as well. The only thing missing from this year’s event was prom night.

Since 1972, Guide Dogs of the Desert, a non-profit located in the small community of Whitewater to the north of I-10, has offered increased freedom, companionship and safety to the blind through the use of a guide dog. It breeds, raises and trains guide dogs for the blind and trains their sightless clients to work with their dogs – all at no cost to the people they serve.

The organization also provides accommodations for 12 students at a time in a dormitory that offers single bedrooms for each student and a shared bathroom for every two students. There is also an auditorium, kitchen and dining room, plus a recreation room equipped with a ‘talking’ computer with Internet access, exercise equipment, musical instruments and a television.

Microwaves and laundry equipments are also available.

Since its inception 40 years ago, Guide Dogs of the Desert has graduated nearly 1,100 student/dog teams, providing mobility, loving companionship and the “miracle of independence.” But with its services being supplied without costs to its students, public assistance is necessary.

For information about making a donation, being a volunteer or applying for a guide dog, call 888-883-0022.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (916)939-0772 or visit this Internet Web http://search.nationwideposting.com/proper tySearchTer ms.aspx, using the file number assigned to this case CA1200245706 Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the

public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call FOR SALE INFORMATION, PLEASE CALL (855)986-9342, or visit this Internet Web site H Y P E R L I N K "http://www.superiordefault.com" www.superiordefault.com using the file number assigned to this case 2012-1315 .

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. THE PROPERTY IS BEING SOLD SUBJECT TO THE NINETY DAY RIGHT OF REDEMPTION CONTAINED IN CIVIL CODE SECTION 1367.4(c)(4).

Founding Publisher March Schwartz (Publisher 1965 - 2004)

From the Publisher CLIF SMITH

THE ELECTION–TAX, TAX, TAX, TAX, TAX Tuesday’s election proves beyond any reasonable doubt that the main goal of government is to the tax the people.

For Californians, we are threatened with losses to our schools, but the money demanded by Gov. Jerry Brown is for GOVERNMENT. Government has an insatiable appetite for our money. Government has changed from our collective provider of services we request and pay for, into a swarm of public employees with large salaries, short work weeks and pension and healthcare benefits no one else has.

In all of this, we are to pay and pay and pay.

Not one word from Gov. Brown tells us how “just another tax increase” is going to fix the problem. No. Instead, government will add more workers, government officials will collect more campaign contributions from government employee unions, and we will be called upon to cough up even more in order to receive less. While Gov. Brown tells us the “government” has imposed “spending cuts,” what he really means is that in his face-to-face backroom deals he cut with the major government worker unions, this is all he could get them to agree to.

In fairness, at least he asked. He got what they would give him. Now he tells us all “this is not enough.” He means: “Not enough to pay for the deal I cut with the unions.” So, if we pass Prop 30 the unions will rake off the money, put it into their pension funds, pay for their time off, their union dues, and pay hikes.

For our readers, the pro- tax measures on the ballot Tuesday promise that we will have the following: the highest sales tax in the nation, the highest income tax in the nation, the most gridlocked transportation in the nation. None of these measures will fix one single problem. They will only cost us money. They will also take the pressure off government to reform. How can that possibly be a good outcome? Are we crazy?

Metro is a good example. Four years ago we voted to give the Metropolitan Transit Authority over $30 billion. That’s now not enough. They want another $90 billion–more taxes through 2069. For what? Same projects they sold to us four years ago, but now they say they need TRIPLE the amount of money to pay for them. Metro now wants about the same amount of money as it cost to fight World War II for two years. Where does the money go? It does NOT go to “jobs” in the community. It goes to consultants, lobbyists, union dues, political advertising, major construction firms, lawyers and “experts.”

The Courier has tried to present fact after fact after fact. Follow the money. Don’t take our word for it.

Go look it up yourselves. It’s on-line at the Metro

website. It’s all there if you take the time to check for yourselves.

And do we get subways or rail to our airports?

No. Do we relieve traffic congestion? No – that’s what Metro ITSELF says, not The Courier. After Measure J, how to we get to the airport? Same way we do now – we drive.

For California, why must we have the highest sales tax and income tax rates in the entire United States? Are our streets cleaner? Are our parks prettier? Are our schools better? No. In most cases, they are worse than in states where they spend dimes where we spend dollars.

Prop 30 is nothing but taxes. It does not lessen the appetite of government, it just feeds it. Prop 38 supposedly goes to schools, but what will the schools do with that short burst of money? They will use it to pay unfunded pension liabilities mainly and then a few pennies for the kids and teachers.

Let’s think about school funding. We’re told we’re “47th in the nation.” (How they concoct that number, which is not accurate, is another story.)

Right now, Californians pay about $11,000 for each student enrolled for about eight and a half months. Let’s see how that works. Figure about 25 per classroom, that’s $275,000 for each classroom operation. Even if the teacher is paid $90,000 in salary and benefits (most teachers would love that much), that leaves $185,000 for operating overhead – all other programs. The buildings are paid for separately through bond funding. There are no taxes on them. Insurance is pretty cheap. With an average K6 school, with the usual two classes per grade, that’s 14 classrooms generating $2,590,000 to run each school in addition to paying the teachers with zero paid towards building the buildings. Why is this not enough?

Government today in California is totally unaccountable for its spending. We have not heard one word from Gov. Brown about efficiency or running the government on the money they have. No. It’s all “doom and gloom.” If any of our children came to us and begged for money like this, we would laugh at them.

The unassailable fact is that higher tax rates result in fewer tax dollars to the state. High taxes chase away business and destroy government revenues. In two years, the same Prop 30 and Prop 38 and Measure J people who are demanding more taxes today will be back telling us the same thing – we’re going to collapse unless we give them more of our money. Except we won’t have any more money.

The Courier urges every one of its readers to vote “no” on every single tax increase.

Prop 30, Prop 38 and Measure J make things worse, not better.

Rabbi Jacob Pressman THE HEARTACHE OF HURRICANE SANDY

HALLOWEEN MEMORIES and don’t forget to vote Tuesday Cartoon for The Courier by Janet Salter

I am writing in the glorious climate with which we are blessed, but my heart is aching from the images we are all watching from the devastation of Hurricane Sandy.

My memory races back to my happy early childhood in Philadelphia, to vacations in Atlantic City whose boardwalk my wife and I walked on our honeymoon; of Seaside Heights in whose open-air dance pavilion I once danced; of Manhattan where I attended the seminary, and Forest Hills in Queens where I served my first pulpit; of the tranquil ferry rides to Staten Island and visits to the Statue of Liberty. When I view the stunned faces of the victims of “Sandy” and try to wrap my mind around the sheer magnitude of this tragedy of nature, the blue sky I see out my window reminds me that there, but for the grace of God and moving there go I, and whatever I can do to help I must do, and so must you.

Guest Editorial VOTE ‘NO’ ON MEASURE J– IT CHEATS ALL OF US

By Lisa Korbatov Measure J is the latest sleight-of-hand trick that L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, L.A. County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky and local Assemblyman Mike Feuer have come up with to give MTA a blank check to the tune of $90 billion over 60 years, and taxing those yet to be born.

Measure J burdens us with higher sales taxes until 2069. It extends Measure R, passed four years ago with many promises–all broken. This is a tax on your children, grandchildren and on your great grandchildren for transportation projects that will likely be obsolete or not meet their needs. How could any logical voter, especially one who resides in Beverly Hills, owns real estate or businesses here, seriously consider voting for J, giving a blank check to the very agency that the Beverly Hills Unified School District and the City of Beverly Hills are suing for using its tax monies to run roughshod over this community?

Before you take a vote on Measure J let’s review how Metro has treated this community.

The facts are well known and not up for debate. They form the basis of our collective lawsuits against Metro. The fact is the residents of Beverly Hills value the education of their children. The Beverly Hills High School, built in 1929, must be renewed and must grow. If not, it cannot serve future generations.

Metro could easily run the subway right under Santa Monica Boulevard like Metro originally said and not hurt anyone. But Metro would rather spend an extra $100 million to take care of a couple of developer friends who bundle and give large political donations,and enrich them with a vanity station. Instead of the Santa Monica route, Metro’s tunnels will run down the very heart of our tight campus, directly under our major instructional buildings, and endanger our children, our staff and financially our bond measure. (Who will buy bonds from a school district whose principal campus is endangered?)

When this community came together to protest Metro’s plan, Metro spent millions of taxpayer money to create a seismic bogeyman. They found “faults” that thorough trenching proved did not exist. They located other faults where the city of Los Angeles said there were none.

Yes, “junk science” and dubious experts were put up as irrefutable evidence in numerous dog-and-pony shows at the Metro “Taj Mahal” downtown. The fact is Metro has not just wasted its own pool of money; it has wasted ours.

Metro is neither omnipotent nor omniscient, and nobody can guarantee our students’ safety on that campus if two electrified, oxygenated tubes are running through a methane field while 2500 staff and students reside above. If you vote “yes” on Measure J, you will be granting Metro an extension of the war-fund it is using to wage war on Beverly Hills. A “yes” vote on Measure J is a vote against Beverly Hills–plain and simple.

Metro desperately wants Measure J. Why? Because Villaraigosa and Yaroslavsky are searching for their legacy as their time in public office comes to an end.

Their grandiose rail projects are all way over budget. Not one gets you to any airport in the Los Angeles area–not LAX, not Burbank, not Long Beach, not Ontario. How do you spend $90 billion and not even go to an airport?

When Measure R was put to the voters in 2008 and barely passed, the duo promised billions in matching federal funds. No matter how many times the mayor of L.A. goes to D.C. and lobbies furiously up and down the halls of Congress, he cannot find more federal funds for these projects. Metro wants $50 billion more in local funding to deliver less than what was originally promised.

The program is not moving forward. It is not moving anywhere.That is the legacy these politicians face without Measure J. Who wins if Measure J passes? JMB, Century Plaza, Westfield, Parsons Brinkerhoff, AEG, and any other friend of Villaraigosa or Yaroslavsky who feed at the public trough.

Who loses if Measure J passes? We do. The black community loses. The Latino community loses. The San Fernando Valley. The San Gabriel Valley. In fact, the entire county of Los Angeles loses. We will be stuck forever with one plan and no more money–and that plan fails utterly to provide for regional and local transportation needs.

“No On J” is sending a message to the powers that be that corporate welfare, crony capitalism and back room deals are not acceptable.

On Nov. 6 please vote “No on Measure J.” If Metro comes back with a fair plan that truly addresses our need for transportation, we will be among the first to vote for it. This is not it.

Lisa Korbatov is a member of the Beverly Hills Unified School District Board of Education.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR I hope and pray every Beverly Hills’ voter votes against Measure J until the Metropolitan Transit Authority agrees in writing that it is never going to install a subway under Beverly High.

If you decide to vote in favor of this measure, don’t ever complain that Metro should not have goner under our 100-year old high school.

This will probably be our last chance to vote on this matter.
