Manaster Vows To Continue Goldberg’s Legacy As New School Board President

By Laura Coleman Board of Education President Brian Goldberg is expected to pass the gavel to Board VP Jake Manaster on Tuesday.

“I’m hopeful that as president, I’ll be able to sit back and guide the process, but not influence the outcome,” Manaster told The Courier. “I’m going to continue to do what I think Dr. Goldberg did very well, which is to kind of let it happen, and not

“It is vital that property owners return the protest form to stop this additional tax,” Antonovich said in a written statement.

CHLA Again Ranks Among Safest Hospitals In Nation

By Steve Simmons For the fourth consecutive year, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) has earned the “Top Hospital”` designation from The Leapfrog Group, which annually recognizes the best hospitals in the nation for providing the safest and highest quality health-care services to patients.

CHLA is one of only 12 children’s hospitals nationally to receive this honor and was the only children’s hospital in California to earn the top award.

“This has been a tremendous year for Children’s Hospital,” says CHLA President/CEO

Richard D. Cordova. “In June, we were recognized as one of the top five children’s hospitals in the nation by U.S. News and World Report, a bellwether accomplishment one year after the opening of our new 317-bed hospital. Now we are a Leapfrog award winner for the fourth year in a row.

“I want to thank the doctors, nurses and staff, and especially our Quality Improvement and Patient Safety team, all of whom have worked extraordinarily hard during 2012 and made this Leapfrog honor a true acknowledgement of our outstanding efforts,” Cordova added. “The Top (see ‘CHLA,’ page 21)

Bosse, CVB Rally to Help Crescent Merchants Who Say City Staff Failed To Warn Of Holiday Ice Rink

By Matt Lopez As most of Beverly Hills enjoys the City’s Holiday Ice Rink in front of City Hall, a group of small business owners on Crescent Drive are worried the rink might send their business into a deep freeze.

Councilwoman Lili Bosse, along with representatives from the Conference & Visitors Bureau, have come together in the last week to help make sure that doesn’t happen.

The issue centers around the closure of Crescent Drive for the rink. It was originally supposed to go in Beverly Gardens Park, until nearby residents complained that City staff didn’t give them any advance notification regarding placing the rink there.

The problem appears to have arisen with staff’s communication on Crescent where a group of small business owners (see ‘CRESCENT’ page 12)

The drill site would be located in Los Angeles and drill

dents, whose grandparents live in the district. The cost to the district is approximately $11,000 per student. The other seven students are under “opportunity” permits, details of which the district cannot disclose for privacy reasons.

Board President Brian Goldberg said his vote was a “political decision” in the wake about 500 feet south of city limits. One proposed well would be drilled just below city limits near Rexford and Whitworth Drives.

A small group of nearby residents spoke at Tuesday’s meeting, concerned about losing royalties if drilling is not approved.

Bosse told The Courier she supported drilling, but was concerned about some of the

The code says the engineer has the ability to evaluate the facility “from time to time”. When Bosse asked City staff if they had looked at the proposed site, they said they had never been.

Block was one of seven applicants who interviewed on Nov. 28 with a panel that included councilmembers Lili Bosse and Barry Brucker, as well as Planning Commission Chair Craig Corman and Vice Chair Brian Rosenstein.

Block will be sworn in at the Dec. 18 council meeting and will join the commission at its first meeting in January. He told The Courier he had been closely following several planning-related projects in the City that he’s looking forward to digging into once he joins the commission.

“I’m very interested in the gateway projects, the re-delineation of the 9900 Wilshire project and the public hearings on revising R1 standards in residential neighborhoods,” Block said.

Block has made a living as a land use real estate attorney, experience that should serve him well with the Planning Commission. He worked for the Los Angeles Bureau of Engineering and Attorney General’s office. He eventually became lead attorney for the California Coastal Commission, where he says many applications came before the group and he was present to give advice at hearings.

Costume Council Celebrates Fashion

By Laura Coleman The Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s Costume Council celebrated the transformative world of fashion with a Jerrell Scott couture show in the Los Angeles pied-à-terre of philanthropist Valerie Sobel on Wednesday.

“Fashion is one of the most popular arts now,” Council chair Cindy Canzoneri said at the intimate soiree.

In addition to a “sizzle” of Full Frequency Media’s documentary on Scott, the “Project Runway” star whose cutting-edge fashions are making waves throughout the scene, attendees viewed models clad in everything from tribal chic designs to Hollywood glamour.

CRESCENT

including Beverly Hills Market, Pioneer Hardware, Beverly Cleaners, Pascal’s Salon and Kabuki Salon say they received no advanced warning ahead of time from City staff. Representatives from each business indepenantly told The Courier they received no communcation from the City before the street closure on Friday, Nov. 23.

“I have one customer today,” Pascal Salon owner Heidi Novian said. “I had nine on this day last week.”

City Council Ice Skating liaisons Lili Bosse and Barry Brucker said at the council meeting two weeks ago when the rink was approved that they were told by City staff that the Crescent merchants were on board with the rink location. Brucker said he was told they were “thrilled”.

The Courier has learned that City

staff only reached out to Joe Tilem, whose son Jeff owns Pioneer Hardware.

Shawn Saeedian of the Beverly Hills Market learned of the plans after Joe Tilem told him what he had heard.

When Bosse found out that was in fact not the case, she reached out to Saeedian, then fired off an e-mail to City staffers urging them to get the local merchants involved.

CVB Executive Director Julie Wagner told The Courier she has been in contact with the merchants and plans call for signage around the Ice Rink for Beverly Hills Market, Pioneer Hardware and Pascal’s by early next week.

Wagner Holiday lights will also be provided for eight sidewalk palm trees on Crescent and “Joy to the Hills” banners will be placed on light poles from Little Santa Monica to Wilshire. The signage is expected to be in place on the rink as early as today.

run, we can’t provide a quality education,” said Goldberg, who assumed the presidency during the first year of his second term. “It starts at the top and trickles all the way down and permeates throughout the district.”

For example, during his board tenure, all five school principals were replaced in order to catalyze a trend toward increased excellence.

In addition to nurturing the community’s renewed trust in the board, the incoming president must still contend with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s push to tunnel underneath Beverly Hills High School, oversee Measure E-related reconstruction at the schools, encourage the com-

turning their protest form or protesting at the public hearing at 9:30 a.m., Jan.15 in the Hearing Room of the Board of Supervisors at the Hall of Administration in downtown Los Angeles.

According to the notice, the proposed fee would generate over $200 million annually and be “dedicated funding for reducing pollution from storm water and urban runoff in Los Angeles County waterways.”

The proposed fee would be

munity to support accelerating the bond payback rate and potentially support a parcel tax, amidst the need to shepherd the board through discussions that will increasingly focus on budget concerns.

“I respect Dr. Goldberg’s courage and organization during a very difficult time for public education,” Superintendent Gary Woods said. “He helped create an efficiency in the board structure while being bombarded by so many meaty topics.”

Manaster said as president he was committed to increasing efficiency in terms of how the board makes decisions.

“I think it’s very important when you’re sitting as chair to take a very specific role and that is to lead a discussion, not be the discussion,” he said. “I paid by property owners within the Los Angeles County Flood Control District and is determined by “the average amount of runoff that properties generate based on parcel size (but not property value) and land use classification.”

If a majority of property owners do not object, supervisors can approve a mail-in-ballot to be sent to all property owners in March. Passage requires only a simple majority.

tend to be long-winded. I tend to express myself a lot. That will not be happening anymore.”

Husband to a third generation Beverly Hills resident, Manaster told The Courier he became involved with the schools as a way to feel more deeply connected to the City.

“It was important to me to feel attached to the community,” he said. “When I moved here, because I hadn’t lived in Beverly Hills prior, I thought, this is one way for me to do it.”

Manaster originally became involved with the district when his daughter started Horace Mann for kindergarten, the very school he had attended in the 1960s for a computer class. Motivated by what he saw as an opportunity to influence change, Manaster eventu-

ally joined the Facilities Planning Committee and later the School Site Facilities Committee.

“I am intent on making sure that buildings that have been around for 80-plus years are not looking like buildings that have been around for 80plus years,” he said. “The schools desperately need our attention.”

Manaster credited previous boardmembers Steven Fenton and Myra Lurie with having motivated him to join the board. “[Lurie] said, ‘You need to pay it forward, and run.’ And I said, I’m really not into that,” Manaster said. “It took me nearly 11 years. It’s a longtime waiting.”

2013 will be his final year on the board, he said.

CITY HALL

It has become one of the more iconic buildings in Beverly Hills. The facility underwent massive renovations in 1982.

The only fiscal impact associated with the plan, outside of staff administration costs, is approximately $5,000 needed from the General Fund to cover the cost of a historic survey for the building.

Mirisch talked to The Courier about the importance of recognizing City Hall as a local landmark.

“City Hall is in many ways the face of Beverly Hills, beautiful, historic and well-known

(continued from page 4)

could then get the ball rolling on considering it for inclusion on to the Local Register as a Landmark Property.

At its Oct. 9 meeting, the Cultural Heritage Commission asked that their support of City Hall as a potential landmark nomination be passed onto the City Council.

City administration moved into the eight-story Spanish style building at 455 N. Rexford Dr. in 1932, just 18 years into the City’s existence.

BEVERLY HILLS “To do a really good job, you have to be pretty intense for the four years, otherwise you burn out, unless it’s in your blood,” Manaster said. “ And I will say, for my colleague Dr. Goldberg, it’s in his blood.”

Both Manaster and Goldberg told The Courier they currently spend roughly 30 hours a week on their duties.

“I always say, ‘I’m going to be brief, and I’m not brief, because it’s kind of funny by now,” Manaster said. “And that’s the point. I’ll be happy not to be brief outside of a meeting.”

Manaster’s transition to president continues the tradition of the vice president taking over the leadership role, as stipulated by the board’s bylaws for succession. The board will vote on Tuesday.

from film and TV,” Mirisch said.

“It represents local government by and for the people–and hopefully we will never forget that and live up to its promise. Placing our own City Hall on our register of historic buildings reminds us of the importance of local government and connects us with our past, while looking towards our future.”

“Designating our iconic City Hall an historical landmark is something we should have done long ago.”

PETITION

(continued from page 1)

help fund the Beverly Hills Unified School District.

“This is different... the other (petitions) were things that could kind of divide the community,” Sarraf told The Courier. “This is an issue that should bring the entire community together.”

Since going live last Monday, the petition has already garnered 686 signatures. It will be presented to the City Council at its Dec. 18 meeting. The petition is located at www.change.org/petitions/bev erly-hills-city-council-supportour-schools-our-communityour-children-our-future and

hospital designation also recognizes the great work by our hospital board of trustees and its Safety, Quality and Service Committee, which oversees quality management at our hospital.”

CHLA was selected as a “Top Hospital” among the 1,200 nationwide that completed the survey, including 38 children’s hospitals.

The Leapfrog Hospital Recognition Program uses standards from the Leapfrog Hospital Survey to calculate an overall quality score for each hospital.

simply asks the City Council to “support our schools, community and future” by approving Mirisch’s funding request.

The school community rallied together after Mirisch pushed the idea two weeks ago of using $4 million of the City’s $10 million surplus to help fund a district currently facing $3.5 million in cuts. The money could be given either as a loan, or through the Joint Powers Authority agreement.

After Sarraf got off the phone with Maybaum, she called BHEF president Annette Saleh and the two worked on a plan to figure out how to create the petition and present it to the City Council. From there, they immediately got to work

on the wording of the petition, enlisting the help of fellow parent and activist Alma Ordaz.

“There is a unique opportunity for our community to make a powerful impact on our schools right now just by signing the petition urging our City Council to allocate a portion of the $10 million city surplus to our schools,” Saleh said “This would be an investment in our public school district to help offset drastic cuts that are imminent despite the passage of Proposition 30.”

While Sarraf was traveling to Houston to tend to her ill mother, she and Ordaz went back and forth via e-mail and phone, sending revisions of the text back to each other before

the petition finally went live later that day.

“Our schools are in trouble because of what Sacramento has failed to do,” Ordaz told The Courier.

“When your neighbors house is on fire, you don’t ask them how they’re going to pay you back for the hose. That’s where we’re at, our school house is on fire, and right now the City of Beverly Hills can come to our aid.”

After Sarraf and Ordaz were done, BHEF Executive Director Matt Zarcufsky got involved and made some revisions to the petition to put the finishing touches on it. From there, the BHEF, PTA Council, Board President Brian Gold-

The quality score, which is a numerical value from 0 to 100, focuses on four critical areas of patient safety: the use of computer physician order entry (CPOE) to prevent medication errors; standards for doing high-risk procedures such as heart surgery; protocols and policies to reduce medical errors and other safe practices recommended by the National Quality Forum; and adequate nurse and physician staffing.

In addition, hospitals are measured on their progress in preventing infections and other hospital-acquired conditions and adopting policies on the handling of serious medical errors, among other things.

“For Children’s Hospital Los Angeles to be named one of the safest children’s hospitals in the country is testimony to the great work and effort by our dedicated staff of physicians, nurses and quality control team,” says Cathy Siegel Weiss, co-chair of the hospital’s board of trustees. “To receive a high quality score demonstrates our strict adherence to Leapfrog’s high safety and quality standards.”

“I’m honored to work in a medical facility that is recognized as one of the best children’s hospitals in the country,” says James E. Stein, MD, CHLA associate chief of surgery and chief medical quality officer.

“This is again a reflection of the culture of our entire staff here at Children’s Hospital. We have the best people caring for kids, from the board of trustees right through the entire organization. I see it every day and hear it from the families we care for; we just treat kids better.”

The Leapfrog Group’s annual class of top hospitals was announced Dec. 4 in Baltimore, Md., at its 12th anniversary meeting.

In addition to CHLA, the other 11 children’s hospitals to receive The Leapfrog Group’s Top Children’s Hospital designation include: Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, DC; Boston Children’s

December 7, 2012 | Page 21 berg and hosts of other parents blasted out e-mails to garner support for the petition.

“I’m very pleased to see this grassroots effort come together to rally around our district,” Goldberg told The Courier.

“It’s fantastic... but what’s most important to remember is these types of things are shortterm band-aids, not long-term solutions,” Zarcufsky said.

Residents To Share Sugar Plum Fairy Role In Marat Daukayev’s Nutcracker It’s that time of year. Productions of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker abound.

When the Marat Daukayev Ballet Theatre’s production takes the stage later this month at Cal StateLA’s Luckman Theatre, three Beverly Hills residents will share the coveted role of The Sugar Plum Fairy along with two other dancers from their midWilshire school Matisse Love and Alexandra and Elizabeth Del Rosario will perform the the prima ballerina role, accompanied by that famous celesta music.

Best friends in and out of the studio, the girls, who enjoy occasional sleepovers, say there’s no competition. They plan to be backstage lending support at each other’s performance and for and the other two students dancing the part.

• Love, an eighth-grade honor student at Horace Mann, has been studying at the Marat Daukayev Ballet School since she was 7. “Every little girl wants to be a ballerina,” says Love, so she asked her mother if she could take lessons.

After competing in the Youth America Grand Prix in 2010, Love “saw all these incredible dancers and that inspired me to work harder and push myself.”

She placed in the top 12 that first year, and the following two in L.A. and was invited to the world finals in New York City all three years.

When the producer and writers of the new ABC Family Show Bunheads visited Marat Daukayev looking for dancers and extras, Love read some lines. She now plays the recurring role of “Matisse” a student at the fictional Paradise Dance Academy.

The Del Rosario sisters also dance on the show as extras.

• 15-year-old Alexandra Del Rosario, a BHHS sophomore, has been dancing at the Marat Daukayev School of Ballet for nine years.

She has performed several roles in the school’s Nutcracker from Teddy Bear to the solo roles. She was also part of other Nutcracker productions— Universal Ballet of Korea at the Shrine Auditorium and with All American Ballet.

She is excited to be selected as one of the Sugarplum fairies, “knowing this experience will bring priceless memories I will treasure—it’s a dream come true.”

• 14 year-old Elizabeth Del Rosario (Alexandra’s younger sister), a BHHS freshman, has also been a ballet student for nine years.

She also competed in the Youth America Grand Prix as a soloist and also as part of an ensemble that qualified in the finals in New York City, and was awarded a scholarship by a ballet school in Pennsylvania.

This will be her 9th Nutcracker. She has danced

S U G A R P L U M FA I R I E S — Dancing the prime role of the Sugar Plum Fairy in the Marat Daukayev Ballet School’s five performances of the T c h a i ko v s k y classic at Cal State LA’s L u c k m a n Theatre will be, front from left, Misako Benso and Matisse Love, and back, Alexandra Del R o s a r i o, Nicolena Farias Eisner and Elizabeth Del Rosario.

many roles in the holiday classic including Masha, Spanish, Snow Queen, Gigue and Dew Drop.

“Ballet is my life; it is where I express my love and gratitude to the art and everyone,” said Elizabeth.

In addition—the Del Rosarios are a dancing family.

The eldest, 17-year-old Ysabella, a BHHS senior, danced the Sugar Plum role last year. This year she will be dancing two solo roles: Arabian and Dew Drop Fairy.

The youngest sibling, the family’s son—4-year-old Momo,

who attends pre-school at Hawthorne, is dancing as a Big Sister/Little Brother and in the Chinese entourage.

Artistic Director Marat Daukayev, a former Kirov ballet star, opened the doors at the Dance Arts Academy on LA Brea (south of Wilshire) 10 years ago and offers training in Russian classical ballet to children 3 and up.

Many of the school’s graduates have distinguished themselves at national and international ballet competitions and have joined internationally

renowned ballet companies in San Francisco, New York, Vienna, Zurich and Stuttgart.

Performances are 7 p.m., Friday, Dec. 14; 2 and 7 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 15, and noon and 4 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 16.

Tickets, at $33, may be purchased by calling the Luckman box office, open noon-6 p.m., Tuesday; 10 a.m-6 p.m., Wednesday, and 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Saturday. Marat Daukayev Ballet Theatre and School, 323-9650333, www.maratdaukayev.com.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. Notice is hereby given that RECONTRUST COMPANY, N.A., as duly appointed trustee pursuant to the Deed of Trust executed by LAURENT CARACO, AND FLORENCE CARACO, HUSBAND AND WIFE, dated 12/21/2006 and recorded 12/29/2006, as Instrument No. 20062893741, in Book , Page , of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of Los Angeles County, State of California, will sell on 12/20/2012 at 9:00AM, Doubletree Hotel Los Angeles-Norwalk, 13111 Sycamore Drive, Norwalk, CA 90650, Vineyard Ballroom at public auction, to the highest bidder for cash or check as described below, payable in full at time of sale, all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust, in the property situated in said County and State and as more fully described in the above referenced Deed of Trust. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 500 NORTH FLORES STREET, WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA, 90048. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. The total amount of the unpaid balance with interest thereon of the obligation secured by the property to be sold plus reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $1,094,718.83. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due.

In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept cashier's checks drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. Said sale will be made, in an ''AS IS'' condition, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereunder, with interest as provided, and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, plus fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created

by said Deed of Trust. If required by the provisions of section 2923.5 of the California Civil Code, the declaration from the mortgagee, beneficiary or authorized agent is attached to the Notice of Trustee’s Sale duly recorded with the appropriate County Recorder’s Office.

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 a 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 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 1800-281-8219 or visit this Internet Web site www.recontrustco.com, using the file number assigned to this case 120001988.

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.

MENORAHS AND CHRISTMAS TREES FOR THE HOLIDAYS How many of us will sit through another rerun of It’s A Wonderful Life? Will we attend “Christmas parties” – called that even though most of the attendees are not of that faith? What about seeing the beautiful menorahs and Christmas trees?

Even if we call the season the “Winter Solstice,” that brings in the religion of the Druids and who-knows-who-else. “Holiday Season” itself recognizes that the holidays exist, which to some means “violating the separation between church and state.” (The trees originally were German tradition from their former pagan faith, so it’s certainly ironic that they are now lightning rods for atheists.)

Granted, “Nativity scenes” can be over the top, but why is allowing a display recognizing a major holiday celebrated by most our people a Constitutional violation? Maybe it’s a wise decision in order to avoid needless controversy; maybe its taking the “separation of Church and State” argument to extremes. Whatever.

We seldom seem to trace where this comes from. Usually, it’s attributed to Thomas Jefferson.

That would be incorrect if one studies Jefferson’s actions. On nearly the same day as he wrote his “wall of separation” letter, he commended a pastor officially and recognized his church. Few read that Jefferson’s “separation” letter was in reply to a demand for free land in the District of Columbia to build a church. Other churches had to buy their land, so was Jefferson setting Constitutional precedent or was he just turning down a churchman with his hand out? You decide.

Constitutionally, there was never anything deemed “unconstitutional” about public prayers, prayers in schools, Christmas and Easter pageants in public schools, posting the Jewish Ten Commandments, or federal holidays timed to allow observance of religious holidays. It all began when the Supreme Court decided that prayer in school somehow was an “establishment of religion” in violation of the First Amendment.

That amendment reads, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.”

Those words had specific meanings: “Establishment of religion” meant an exclusive, state-supported church complete with bureaucracy and hierarchy. It never meant a public prayer.

Jefferson had authored a law in the state of Virginia (ex-colony) to “disestablish” the Anglican Church (the Church of England) as the only

allowable and state taxpayer supported church in the colony/state. If you worshiped otherwise, you could go to jail. Was there a practical reason for the “disestablishment”? Yes. Because most of the soldiers in Washington’s army from Virginia were Baptists. The returning soldiers faced jail by worshipping as Baptists, not Anglicans. Anglicans were often Tories who supported the British in the American Revolution.

So, Virginia would be jailing its successful soldiers to benefit the turncoat Tories for not turning on England.

Long after the First Amendment was adopted, the New England states had their own “established” churches – the Puritans, or as they became, the Congregationalists.

New Hampshire continued official state support of its church until the 1820s or later. By then, so many other denominations existed that the Congregationalists just couldn’t keep their monopoly. The demands on the state treasury from so many other religionists grew so large, that the legislature – not wanting to raise taxes – said “no more ‘established’ church.”

That ended the debate until Chief Justice Warren decided that any sort of acknowledgement of religious faith somehow transgressed the Constitution. Since then, in one case after another that corruption of the Constitution has become an article of faith – faith promoted by schools and government and media that faith is prohibited from public display or acknowledgement.

Ask anyone about the “separation of church and state” and they’ll tell you “no prayer in school.” Ask them what “establishment of religion” means (which is how the Constitution actually reads), and you will get blank stares.

This history won’t matter, we’re sure. Public displays of faith are gone and the courts make sure of it.

That was not what was intended, but that’s why we don’t have them.

This may be a wise outcome. It certainly can eliminate a handful of hurt feelings, but it deprives the vast majority of the people of recognition of their faiths. This doctrine only became “constitutional” because of a corruption of that document, but that’s where it came from. To the extent that truth matters, this is the truth. Sorry.

Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukkah. Enjoy them while you still can. We intend to.

Rabbi Jacob Pressman OPEN YOUR DRAWERS Yes, I suggest you open your drawers, or closets, or crowded garages, and you shall find there the long forgotten treasures of years of saving stuff. Not all garages are the same, however. I find they take many different formations.

Noblest among storage places are the garages with absolutely nothing within them but the family auto or autos.

They take on the pristine beauty of the original showrooms in which they were first offered for purchase. All that seems missing are some pictures on the walls, a fine mirror and some floral bouquets. Such garages, rare as they may be, deserve to be reserved for guests. The second category may not only house the family cars but also some closets, or a woodshop table, or golf bags, skis, tennis racquets and other large pieces of sports equipment, even some small pieces of furniture one might want to use again some day. There still may be room for the cars. It may still be possible to open the doors of the auto and still be able to squeeze in or out.

The final stage is that there is no longer any room for automobiles and the family vehicles are parked just in front of the garage doors and in time everyone has forgotten what is inside since they rarely peek into it.

Ask yourself if you fall into class A, B, or C. If it is C, then take comfort in the realization that someday you may move, and the husky movers will open those doors and pull out that stuff, and you will experience some delightful surprises and sweet memories. You may be forced to decide what may now be discarded and beg your children, grandchildren or other relatives to give them a new home and a fresh start.

Or, just stay where you are and sell the contents of your garage sight unseen to your friendly liquidator and move the autos back in again.
