NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING DATE:

January 10, 2013

TIME:

1:30 PM, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard

LOCATION: Commission Meeting Room 280A Beverly Hills City Hall 455 North Rexford Drive Beverly Hills, CA 90210 The Planning Commission of the City of Beverly Hills, at its REGULAR meeting on Thursday, January 10, 2013, will hold a public hearing beginning at 1:30 PM, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard to consider: A request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow a new, approximately 3,500 square foot exercise club (Soul Cycle) to be located at 9465 Wilshire Boulevard. Operation of an exercise club does not require issuance a Conditional Use Permit; however, an exercise club may not be located on the ground floor of any building located within the Business Triangle, nor occupy more than 25 feet of ground-floor street frontage within the Pedestrian Oriented Area without the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed exercise club would be located within the Business Triangle and occupy a portion of the ground floor of the building, and would occupy more than 25 feet of ground-floor street frontage within the Pedestrian Oriented Area. Therefore, a Conditional Use Permit is required for the abovementioned aspects of the project. In addition to the request to allow a portion of the exercise club to be located on the ground floor of the building, the applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow a shared parking arrangement between the exercise club and the office uses within the building. The Planning Commission may issue a Conditional Use Permit to allow up to 50% of the required parking for the office uses to be used by the exercise club if it can be demonstrated that sufficient parking is available and that the exercise club operates at different peak hours than those of the office uses within the building. This project has been assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City. The project qualifies for a Class 1 Categorical Exemption for operational changes and minor alterations within an existing commercial building, and the project has been determined not to have a significant environmental impact and is exempt from the provisions of CEQA. Any interested person may attend the meeting and be heard or present written comments to the Commission. According to Government Code Section 65009, if you challenge the Commission's action in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the City, either at or prior to the public hearing. If there are any questions regarding this notice, please contact Ryan Gohlich, Senior Planner in the Planning Division at 310.285.1194, or by email at rgohlich@beverlyhills.org. Copies of the applications, plans, and Categorical Exemption are on file in the Community Development Department, and can be reviewed by any interested person at 455 North Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Council of the City of Beverly Hills, at a regular meeting to be held on Tuesday, January 8, 2013, at 7:00 p.m., in the Council Chambers of the City Hall, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, will hold a public hearing to consider:

The Council of the City of Beverly Hills, at its regular meeting to be held on Tuesday, January 8, 2013, at 7:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, in the Council Chambers of the City Hall, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, will hold a public hearing to consider:

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS REVISING THE SEPARATION REQUIREMENTS BETWEEN OIL WELLS AND SENSITIVE USES, REQUIRING REGULAR INSPECTIONS OF OIL WELLS FOR SUBSIDENCE, AND REQUIRING AN ANNUAL REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS AMENDING THE MUNICIPAL CODE TO ESTABLISH A REVIEW PROCESS TO DETERMINE SUBSTANTIAL COMPLIANCE WITH CERTAIN ZONING CODE STANDARDS BASED ON SPECIFIC FINDINGS.

The proposed ordinance would clarify the Beverly Hills Municipal Code to make clear that new oil wells may not be drilled into Beverly Hills from another city if the drill site is within five hundred feet (500') of any school or park site located in the City of Beverly Hills and that the prohibition does not apply to schools or parks in other cities. In addition, the proposed ordinance requires the City Engineer to inspect for subsidence from oil wells at least once every two years and would add a provision requiring the Director of Public Works or designee to annually request documents from pertinent regulatory agencies indicating dates of inspection and notices of violation with regard to oil wells in the City, and thereafter present a report to the City Council regarding the results of the request. This Ordinance has been assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City, and is categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301. At the public hearing, the City Council will hear and consider all comments, and may introduce the ordinance. All interested persons are invited to attend and speak on this matter. Written comments may be submitted and should be addressed to the City Clerk, c/o City Clerk, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210.

This Ordinance has been assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City.

This Ordinance is therefore exempt from the environmental review requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.

Similar to the booming retail market, Segal, president of Partners Trust Real Estate Brokerage & Acquisitions, said the desire to be in Beverly Hills and the shortage of inventory was continuing to drive prices up. “The school system and all the services of Beverly Hills are tremendous and people what to take advantage of that,” he said. “Beverly Hills is the platinum name and it sells itself.” “I think the biggest problem for 2013 is getting inventory on the market,” Segal added.

The commission also directed the applicant to do more to draw attention to the store’s corner, which will be the first thing most passersby see.

WALLENBERG

(continued from page 5)

Mirisch suggested a day of remembrance, perhaps in association with the local schools. Mirisch said that even though Wallenberg had no direct connection to the City, he was an important figure for many jews in Beverly Hills. Councilmember Julian Gold suggested contacting the Simon Wiesenthal Center at 1399 S. Roxbury Dr. in L.A. about setting up some sort of tribute to Wallenberg. Councilmember Barry Brucker di-

rected staff to reach out to Beverly Hills clergy to solicit ideas on what might be appropriate. Councilmember Lili Bosse, daughter of a holocaust survivor, supported one idea floated regarding placing an exhibit in the Beverly Hills library. “There are plenty of people, me included, who have been touched by the holocaust,” Bosse said. Staff was directed to reach out to communicate with local clergy and museums to reach a consensus on a plan to bring back to the City Council.

puter lab, Grijalva said the remaining working computers will be distributed to classrooms throughout the school. “It’s neat that we can then take the 26 functioning computers and distribute them throughout the school,” former Horace Mann PTA president Howard Goldstein said. “So everything kind of pays forward.” During the past two years, the schools’ PC com-

puters had increasingly been breaking down and requiring parts that were no longer being manufactured – necessitating a restock of the school’s PC computer lab. “It’s been a long time in the making until we could find the right quote,” Goldstein said. “Given that the resources are finite, we tried to find the best quote we could.”

ROXBURY

in the Roxbury Park Auditorium. The City Council has previously discussed plans to place the dog park on a quarter of an acre stretch of lawn on the north side of Roxbury facing Olympic Boulevard. The area was previously used for croquet, although Recreation Services Manager Teri Angel said the Croquet club has “kind of dissolved” after not paying dues the last two years. Zoet told the commission that an “aggressive” outreach campaign would begin to notify residents about the meeting. Outgoing Commissioner Alan Block, who is set to join the Planning Commission, advised City staff to go beyond just the nearby residents and contact as many people as possible throughout the City. “You should contact the general public, not only residents around the park, because we want to get this out to all the dog owners,” Block said.

DRILLING

require the City Engineer to inspect the oil wells for subsidence at least once every two years. Subsidence is a gradual caving in or sinking of an area of land that can often be found at drill sites. At the request of community member Jody Kleinman, who has been outspoken in the past about drilling in Beverly Hills, the commission added a provision requiring the Director of Public Works or a designee to annually request documents from regulatory agencies that include dates of inspection and notices of violation regarding oil wells in the City. Those results would then be presented to the City Council. Corman abstained from the vote, citing a lack of information regarding the science behind the potential hazards of oil drilling. “It’s a bit of a controversial issue in that there are views on both sides. Evidence on one hand states there could potentially be impacts, but there appear to be many experts on the other side that state there are no impacts...” Corman said. “I don’t feel I have enough information to vote one way or the other.” Commissioner Dan Yukelson recused himself from the discussion because he owns an apartment in Los Angeles that receives royalties from Breitburn, which is now Pacific Coast Energy Company (PCEC). Rosenstein also noted that he owns a commercial office

In October, Horace Mann joined the ranks of the state’s top tier schools with a 10-point increase on the mandated test used by the California Department of Education to measure academic alignment with state standards for English/language arts, mathematics, science and history. The scale ranges from

CITY COUNCIL FORUM (continued from page 1)

Muni League chairman Thomas White told The Courier all six candidates have confirmed they will appear at the forum in which White serves as the moderator. The six City Council election candidates are Mayor Willie Brien, Vice Mayor John Mirisch, former Mayor Nancy Krasne, Planning Commission Vice Chair Brian Rosenstein, and City residents Michael Talei and Katherine Cohan. “We’ve got kind of an interesting field with two incumbents and one former councilmember,” White said. “At least it’s not 11 people like we had in 2005... this way it’s easier for voters to focus on a few, rather than a very diluted field.” White appeared before the City Council at its last meeting to request

building that receives royalties. With both commissioners having potential conflicts, the commission would have legally not had a quorum to make a vote, so Rosenstein and Yukelson drew straws to determine who would stay for the discussion and vote. The issue came before the commission after it was learned during discussion regarding PCEC’s application to drill two new wells under Beverly Hills, that one of the drill sites (on Pico Boulevard and Doheny) was about a half block from a school in Los Angeles. Councilmember Lili Bosse expressed concern over language in the ordinance stating City Engineers would check the site “from time to time.” When pressed by Bosse, City staff admitted they had never actually visited the proposed drill site. The commission discussed how schools would be defined in the ordinance, meaning whether it extended beyond the commonly assumed four K8’s and the high school in the City. The commission ultimately decided to leave that language up to the City Attorney. Senior Planner Michele McGrath said private schools were included in the definition and told the commission it essentially covered “commonly understood idea of a school being for general educational purposes.” McGrath said the ordinance would likely come before the City Council at its Jan. 8 meeting.

200 to 1,000 and schools that score over 900 are regarded as among the best in the state. Kessler said activities such as crafts, movies, computer and sports play were intended to allow students to have fun while rewarding them for their hard work on scoring over 900 on the API for the first time in the school’s history of taking the test. Overall, the district has a score of 891. “Our eyes are set on figuring out how to get into the ‘900 Club’ as a district,” Superintendent Gary Woods said. once again using the council chambers to host the forum and was praised by councilmember Barry Brucker for his even, unbiased approach to the questions he asks at the forum. “We really try to create a level playing field for all the candidates,” White said. “It’s an expectation in the democratic process that everyone has a fair chance based on their ideas.” White said the forum has been held in different formats in the past and that a typical question-and-answer portion should be expected this year. Financial issues facing the City should be one of the main talking points of the evening, White said. “These choices are extremely important to our residential quality of life,” White said. “If voters have an orientation they want to see implemented in Beverly Hills in terms of general policies, they need to be proactive.” with Wisconsin taking part today. Wisconsin is looking to win backto-back Beef Bowls after eating 723 pounds of prime rib last year to beat Oregon. The all-time record is 734 pounds, set by Purdue in 2001. The winner of the Beef Bowl has gone on to win the Rose Bowl 39 out of 56 times.

BIRTHDAY GREETINGS—Denzel

Kristina Djadenko

ASTROLOGY by Holiday Mathis

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 28). Your efforts to develop a career won’t work out exactly the way you plan, but will work brilliantly when you stay aware of the opportunities around you and roll with the opening and closing doors. January sparks an exciting relationship. February brings family growth. March–a boost in income. Cancer and Scorpio people adore you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Don’t make a big fuss about giving your talents and love. Those things can’t help but leak out in every small thing you do. The insightful person sees you in action and knows immediately who you are. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). With Mars newly in your realm, a strong motivational force is churning at your core. You can make fast progress on a project. Onward with velocity! PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). You’ll pay close attention to what oth-

ers are doing and gain a competitive edge. You’ll see beyond the mechanics of a situation and into the soul of it. You’ll ponder the purpose and come up with an answer. ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). You’ll be inspired to share what you find funny, helpful or heartfelt. And if it’’s not received exactly how you expected, at least you’ll know your crowd a little better. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). You have charisma and don’t have to push or persuade to get your way. Relax and be who you are. Those uncertain will gradually come around to your way of thinking. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Good fortune in the early stages of a project doesn’t promise a happy ending. You’ll figure out the essential steps and continue steadily on until you get results. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The full moon in your sign brings an emotional fullness. You’ll express your feelings with ease in their

own language, which probably has very little to do with words. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Don’t stand on the edge watching everyone else have a good time. This moment is for you, too. Claim it. The full moon close to your part of the sky is a push onto the dance floor of life. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s easy for people to get so preoccupied with what they want out of a situation that they lose perspective. You don’t want anything, and that gives you a definite advantage. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The word “karaoke” means “empty orchestra” in Japanese. If you’re not singing, the orchestra around you mourns the loss. Nothing will seem complete until you add your voice. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Most of the pains of life fade naturally with time. Toothaches are the exception as they don’t go away on their own. You’ll be a hero, solving a problem for someone is the emotional equivalent of a toothache. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). As is the case with most pre-

sentations, there is much to be worked out behind the scenes before the show is ready to bring to an audience. If you do the work right, the result looks effortless. Don’t be fooled.

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 ASHA DHILLON, A SINGLE WOMAN, dated 11/17/2005 and recorded 11/30/2005, as Instrument No. 05 2908062, in Book , Page , of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of Los Angeles County, State of California, will sell on 01/17/2013 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: 146 NORTH ALMONT DRIVE #7, 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 $662,360.11. 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 120077613. 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.

BEVERLY HILLS PROJECT 13-22 CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS PROJECT ADMINISTRATION 345 FOOTHILL ROAD BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA 90210 REQUEST FOR PREQUALIFICATION OF BIDDERS AND PREQUALIFICATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR: CIVIC CENTER SIGNAGE PROJECT Notice is hereby given that the City of Beverly Hills (“CITY”) has determined that all bidders for the fabrication and installation for the Civic Center Signage Project (“Project”) must be pre-qualified prior to submitting a bid on that Project. It is mandatory that all Contractors who intend to submit a bid, fully complete the prequalification questionnaire, provide all materials requested herein, and be approved by the CITY to be on the final qualified Bidders list. No bid will be accepted from a Contractor that has failed to comply with these requirements. If two or more business entities submit a bid as part of a Joint Venture, or expect to submit a bid as part of a Joint Venture, each entity within the Joint Venture must be separately qualified to bid. The last date to submit a fully completed questionnaire is 2:00 PM Thursday, January 10, 2013. Contractors are encouraged to submit prequalification packages as soon as possible, so that they may be notified of omissions of information to be remedied or of their prequalification status in advance of the prequalification deadline for this Project. Answers to questions contained in the attached questionnaire are required. The CITY will use these documents as the basis of rating Contractors with respect to whether each Contractor is qualified to bid on the Project, and reserves the right to check other sources available. The CITY’s decision will be based on objective evaluation criteria. The CITY reserves the right to adjust, increase, limit, suspend or rescind the prequalification rating based on subsequently learned information. Contractors whose rating changes sufficiently to disqualify them

will be notified, and given an opportunity for a hearing consistent with the hearing procedures described below for appealing a prequalification rating. While it is the intent of the prequalification questionnaire and documents required therewith to assist the CITY in determining bidder responsibility prior to bid and to aid the CITY in selecting the lowest responsible bidder, neither the fact of prequalification, nor any prequalification rating, will preclude the CITY from a post-bid consideration and determination of whether a bidder has the quality, fitness, capacity and experience to satisfactorily perform the proposed work, and has demonstrated the requisite trustworthiness. The prequalification packages should be submitted under seal to the Office of the City Clerk, City of Beverly Hills, 455 North Rexford Drive, Room 290, Beverly Hills, CA 90210. The following should be clearly marked on the outside of the package “CONFIDENTIAL PREQUALIFICATION STATEMENT FOR THE CIVIC CENTER SIGNAGE PROJECT” The prequalification packages submitted by Contractors are not public records and are not open to public inspection. All information provided will be kept confidential to the extent permitted by law. However, the contents may be disclosed to third parties for purpose of verification, or investigation of substantial allegations, or in an appeal hearing. State law requires that the names of contractors applying for prequalification status shall be public records subject to disclosure, and the first page of the questionnaire will be used for that purpose. Each questionnaire must be signed under penalty of perjury in the manner designated at the end of the form, by an individual who has the legal authority to bind the Contractor on whose behalf that person is signing. If any information provided by a Contractor becomes inaccurate, the Contractor must immediately notify the CITY and provide updated accurate information in writing, under penalty of perjury.

P U B L I C N OT I C E S The CITY reserves the right to waive minor irregularities and omissions in the information contained in the prequalification application submitted, and to make all final determinations. The CITY may also determine at any time that the prequalification process will be suspended for the Project and the Project will be bid without prequalification. Contractors may submit prequalification packages during regular working hours on any day that the offices of the CITY are open. Contractors who submit a complete prequalification package will be notified of their qualification status no later than ten business days after submission of the information. The CITY may refuse to grant prequalification where the requested information and materials are not provided by the due date indicated above. There is no appeal from a refusal for an incomplete or late application, but re-application for a later project is permitted. Neither the closing time for submitting prequalification packages for this Project will be changed in order to accommodate supplementation of incomplete submissions, or late submissions, unless requested by the CITY in its sole discretion.

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. On January 03, 2013, at 9:00am, C a l - W e s t e r n Reconveyance Corporation, as duly appointed Trustee under and pursuant to Deed of Trust recorded July 25, 2007, as Inst. No. 20071755190 in book XX, page XX of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of Los Angeles County, State of California, executed

December 28, 2012 | Page 19 property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $3,167,762.79. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. 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

SUDOKU

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 (619)590-1221 or visit the internet website www.r ppsales.com, using the file number assigned to this case 1 3 6 8 6 4 0 - 3 9 . 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. For sales information: (619)5901221. Cal-Western Reconveyance Corporation, 525 East Main Street, P.O.

From the Publisher CLIF SMITH

THE YEAR ‘13’ Do you avoid the 13th floor (if you can find one)? Do you note each “Friday the 13th”? Do you bet on or against #13? Well, by Tuesday morning at 12:01 a.m., we are in the year 13. This is only the third 13 we’ve experienced in annual numbering system. China and the Jewish people use a different system, but all acquiesce in noting that next year is 2013. So, will it be bad (the common fear of “13”) or good (for contrarians)? Right now, the trends are not good – in fact, they’re worse than they have been since 1980 when the Soviet Union was on the march, the U.S. economy was crushed by bureaucratic rules, taxes, restrictions, inflation, high interest rates, a decrepit military and Jimmy Carter’s “malaise.” (He had it; in general we the people did not.) We face the death of our economic system. The cause should be obvious – the government is too big and spends too much. No matter how much American government takes in, it spends massively beyond its means. It does not seem to matter to most that the government rake-off from private activity is at an all-time high. The government has never taken as much as now. We had to fight a war all over the world in 1941—1945 to spend as much, and then our very existence as a nation was threatened with military destruction. Today, we are threatened by the cancerous growth of government spending driven by massive takings from producers and transfers to nonproducers. This column wrote a few months ago that “Ayn Rand Used to Be Crazy.” What she predicted is now accelerating. Not only is government at all levels taking more every day, but that same government stifles, strips and destroys producers. What is worse is that the amount of money we as a nation owe to others is accelerating, too—beyond comprehension. Our debts expand—not because we build roads or bridges or launch space rockets—but because government gives the money to nonworkers. The most heavily-funded class, the public retirees, take more and more every day. The say, “this is the deal” city councils, state legislatures, and the Congress cut. The companion fact is that there is no possible way for this nation to pay for the accumulating benefits and obligations owed to people who are not working whether they were government workers or not. The vast majority of federal and state government spending is on its own activities and payments to people not working. Whether it is government pensions, government retiree health care, Social Security, federal disability payments (now paid to nearly nine million Americans and growing), free health care and education for millions of illegal immigrants, Medicare, SSI, food stamps or whatever, the amount taken by those recipients today vastly exceeds their contribution to the common kitty. It just does. Funding this behemoth today comes from borrowing. Did anyone notice that we ran out of lenders? Now, under President Obama’s Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, the U.S. Treasury just prints more money. (Well, they invent money on their computers, to be more precise, rather than simply run the printing presses.) Beyond the financial aspect is the moral one: is it moral to take forceably from one person to give that money to another? We believe it is not and never has been. That is the philosophy that

narrowly reelected President Obama in November, tragically. In 1980 former California Gov. Ronald Reagan reflected an opposite moral imperative of the American people -- an imperative to produce, create, and reap the benefits of their own labors, not someone else’s. Reagan was elected and reelected in landslides. He fully vindicated the people’s belief in themselves and in his leadership. In 2013, the majority of presidential voters opted for a president whose campaign was based almost entirely on attacking the producers, of accusing those who pay over 90 percent of American taxes of “abusing the middle class.” Talk about a diversion. Just attack the good guys—the producers, the inventors, the risk-takers, the successful—and make them look evil while you’re ripping off everyone else. It’s the burglary scam – dress up in a utility worker’s uniform, keep the residents at the front door while your partner steals everything out the back door from the rest of the house. Today, we have this “fiscal cliff” talk. What it means is that the tongue-tied Republicans are getting blamed for resisting President Obama’s latest attack on production, work and earned reward. President Obama will simply surf Hawaii or golf in Maryland until the Republicans cave (forgetting that they were reelected by a strong majority to control of the House of Representatives). We wish they would simply walk away and let the Democrats propose and pass everything. Instead, they will “compromise” just enough so they get the blame when everything really does finally collapse. It’s President Obama at the wheel with the Democrats cheering him on and he will drive us over that cliff. He and his party will blame the Republicans and the Republicans will stand there looking guilty. They always do. In the meantime, the really rich—mainly Democrats—will cut their deals and grow their wealth even more. If this were a cartoon, it would be the Road Runner vs. Wiley Coyote. And we know how that always turns out. But it is not a cartoon and we the people—the nation—will suffer, not some cartoon character. We hope and pray we are wrong. Happy 2013.

Cartoon for The Courier by Janet Salter

Rabbi Jacob Pressman AVE ET SALVE! Ave et salve! Hail and farewell! In five days it will be the first day of a new year: 2013. We shall have taken leave of the old year –and I must say: “good riddance!” You read and heard the news of 2012. I need not recite the litany of its disasters. It was mostly bad, from hurricanes to floods to droughts, from civil wars to mass murders, to assassinations, to gunning down children in their classrooms. In America, only a peaceful election and bit of an upturn in the economy gave us good news. But: “Ave” hail, let us look forward optimistically. Maybe Congress will act to assist the economy. Maybe the Dodgers and Lakers will come out on top. Maybe the salubrious weather pattern of Southern Cal will persist. Maybe the post-season bargains will put a few pennies back in our pockets. Maybe many of those who found temporary employment will hold on to their jobs. Maybe the Messiah will come – but that’s in another department. There is one area in particular which commands our attention. The several mass murders, especially in the public schools, have been a heartache. Beyond beefing up police protection, we have to do more in inculcating in the generation coming up a distaste for the casual snuffing out human lives. Especially here in Hollywood, we must call for their taking responsibility for in what their films and video are drowning for profit. The drift back to life as a jungle must be stemmed. Otherwise we might as well shed our civilized apparel, wriggle into our tiger pelts and go around smashing one another in the head.

A Very Special LETTER TO THE EDITOR As this year comes to a close, I am reminded of many things I wanted to accomplish and didn't get to. I am woefully aware of loved ones who are missing from the holiday table and the heartache their absence creates. It's perfectly natural, or at least I tell myself this, to feel a deep sense of melancholy at the holidays, depending on the year that you have had. Then I am reminded of Bedford Falls, or in my family's case, Bedford Drive, where our humble home (an apartment) is located near. The movie It's A Wonderful Life has been playing on TV a lot this month. I often think of its themes and how timeless and uplifting they are this time of year. More specifically, I think of how Beverly Hills to me presents a similar lesson and backdrop as it did to Jimmy Stewart's “George Bailey” in that iconic film. I walk over to the Swim Gym at Beverly Hills High School and see the actual locale of the famous dance floor scene, where former Little Rascals actor Carl Switzer (“Alfalfa”) pulls the rug out, well wood floor out, from beneath his classmates at the holiday dance. This is one of two remaining locations from the film. The main sets were at RKO Studios in Culver City and the outdoor town of Bedford Falls was actually in Encino, at RKO’s former movie lot there near where Balboa Park and adjacent homes stand today. My journey with my daughters Sofia and Olympia (now 6 and 4 years old) continues north up Roxbury Drive to the iconic Micky Fine Pharmacy, where my wife Brigitte meets us for lunch at their phenomenal and very nostalgic lunch counter. So reminiscent of the drug store scene in the film, where George averts disaster for the grief stricken pharmacist. After lunch, we take a stroll down Rodeo Drive and are bedazzled by so many things in the windows that despite their allure, I just can't afford right now. Then I am struck by the true meaning of my journey. Beverly Hills is an incredible City to live in, because of the people here, the quality of life, the outstanding public schools and city services like police and fire departments. It's not about the razzle dazzle for so many of us who live here, or the “prestige” of the zip code. It's an appreciation for a more nostalgic, small town way of life that most of the time only exists in the movies today it seems. Well, in Beverly Hills, or my own little Bedford Falls, it exists every day. I now hear the soothing sound of the beautiful fountain in our apartment building's courtyard as we walk through the gate with the girls. I see the holiday flowers our meticulous landlord brings us each year. As my wife heats up the Ovaltine for the girls and I help choose a book to read with them, (the classic Little Golden Book (Frosty The Snowman) I am overtaken with a sense of wistful simplicity and fulfillment. It’s truly A Wonderful Life for us residents here in Beverly Hills and we're all in the same movie. Hal Lifson
