renovated Community Center.“We’re very supportive,”

said PETS 90210 Director BillCrowe, whose organization hashelped find homes for over4,000 rescue animals throughadoption events at Roxbury Parkthe past eight years.

The $25,000 budget pro-posed for the construction of a14,400-square-foot off-leashenclosure in northeast RoxburyPark, which takes over the cro-quet lawn, is not part of theCity’s $14.4 million redevelop-ment plan for Roxbury Park,which includes $1.3 million forpark site improvement.

Many of the roughly 100residents at Monday's town hallemphasized the need for a dogpark in Beverly Hills, whichwould give apartment-boundneighborhood dogs without ac-cess to backyards the opportuni-ty to run free, in addition toserving as the social nexus forpet owners and pooches.

“A dog park is probably to-

day's town center,” said BeverlyHills Croquet Club PresidentXandra Kayden, whose club willtake over one of the greens cur-rently used by the Beverly HillsLawn Bowling Club.

City Publicist Jessica Emer-son said that of 51 people whoresponded to a questionnaire atthe town hall, 37 supported thecreation of a dog park.

Although the majority ofMonday night’s 34 speakerssupported a dog park, some,such as Human Relations ViceChair Rochelle Ginsburg,voiced concern it could changethe character of a neighborhoodpark. South West Beverly HillsHomeowners Association Presi-dent Ken Goldman said that allof the members he representedwere opposed to bringing a dogpark to Roxbury.

Lifelong resident, home-owner and dog owner JackieKassorla said she was surprisedto see the range of emotions.

“It’s a sensitive matter, com-ing up with the best space inBeverly Hills,” she said."

ROXBURY(continued from page 1)

Day program held at theWriter’s Guild Theatre in Bever-ly Hills.

“I try with everything that Ican, I try that people will notforget, that it will never happenagain,” Lustig said.

The world has avowed that“never again” will the Holo-caust happen – indeed, Presi-dent Barack Obama marked In-ternational Holocaust Remem-brance Day on Sunday bypledging to “stay true to theprinciple of ‘Never Again’” andoppose any tyrant or dictatorwho commits crimes againsthumanity – but ongoing geno-cides in Darfur, Sudan and Con-go illustrate that 68 years afterthe liberation of Auschwitz onJan. 27, where over 1 millionJews were killed solely on thebasis of religion, human beingsare still slaughtering each other.

Roughly 30 minutes beforethe legendary force behind So-phie’s Choice and Schindler’sList took the stage, Lustig con-fided to The Courier that he be-lieved the voices of the six mil-lion Jews killed in the Holocaustwould be stamped out overtime.

“I’m a very pessimistic per-son,” he said. “I think 20 or 30years after we die, it will be for-gotten.

“People will not remem-ber.”

For the past seven yearsLustig has been hosting the Za-greb Jewish Film Festival, an-other example of how the Croa-tian-born Jew, tattooed inAuschwitz with the numberA3317, is committed to preserv-ing the Jewish narrative.

Mensch Foundationfounder Steven Gieger said theYiddish word “Mensch” is thebest compliment you can give aperson.

Beverly Hills Temple of theArts Rabbi David Baron, one ofthe speakers on Tuesday, said itwas critical to keep the memoryof the Holocaust etched in thecollective mind.

Other speakers includedDaniel Pearl Foundation Presi-dent Judea Pearl, Loyola Lawprofessor Stanley Goldman,German Consul General BerndFischer, and American JewishUniversity professor MichaelBerenbaum.

Branko called his two-partminiseries devoted to WorldWar II, The Winds of War andWar and Remembrance hismost important work in a careermarked by producing storiesthat underscore the human con-dition and its intrinsic frailtiesand strengths.

“Day by day we are less andless survivors,” the 80-year-oldAuschwitz Concentration Campsurvivor told just over one hun-dred people in the audienceTuesday night. “The problem isthat I’m afraid that one day, afterall of us will be gone…

“I want to ask you, whathave you done, that this willnever happen again?”

portion where each of the can-didates is free to ask each oth-er any questions they wishabout issues facing the City.

“There’s no question thisgroup will be polite and cour-teous, but they can ask toughquestions in a courteous fash-ion,” Goldman said “Theyhave different viewpoints, butall are well qualified.”

Five of the six electioncandidates have confirmedtheir attendance. That list in-cludes Mayor Willie Brien,Vice Mayor John Mirisch, for-mer Mayor Nancy Krasne,Planning Commission Vice

Chair Brian Rosenstein andBeverly Hills professionalKatherine Cohan.

The forum will includeone-on-one interviews and apanel discussion. It will alsoinclude a portion where repre-sentatives from the SoutheastBeverly Hills Homeowners canask the candidates questions.

Goldman said all the can-didates should expect “realtough” questions.

“We may ask a candidate,‘hey, you said this back when-ever and you say this now...how do you square the two?’”Goldman said. “It’s not intend-ed to be a ‘gotcha’ thing, but itis intended to get answers.”

Delshad, who was born inthe City of Shiraz in Iran, is thefirst Iranian-American to holdpublic office in Beverly Hills.He said he was asked to behonorary chair by Internation-ally honored Persian enter-tainer Mary Apick, who has abig hand in putting the eventtogether.

Delshad attended afundraising kickoff event onJan. 24 at the home of Apick.

“The parade will be non-political and non-religious, it

is about showing the history ofPersians,” Delshad explainedto The Courier. “There is morethan 2,500 years of culture inIran.”

The parade will featuresome 20 floats, each repre-senting a city in Iran, as well asPersian history, culture and lit-erature.

“We have to coordinatewith the city of L.A. and theCity of Beverly Hills, wherethe parade is going to be,where and how it’s going tooccur.”

“It’s been happening forthe past 10 years in New YorkCity and we thought sincemore Iranians and Persians livein California than New York,why not have one on the WestCoast?” Delshad said.

Next week she is shootingthe pilot for her KristiD Show.

“We will explore the ‘whysand wherefores’ of how youngwomen can become successfulnot only in their professionalcareers but their personal lives,as well,” said Djadenko.

The format will run thegamut of how to dress for jobinterviews and special events;how to apply make-up andpick out the appropriateclothes; wear high heels; prop-er table etiquette while dining;and the body language neededto give speeches or simply torelate to other individuals.

“Life usually gives a persona few ‘can’t miss’ opportunitiesbut you have to be ready totake advantage of these be-cause they come along sorarely,” states Djadenko.

“The show will attempt tobring out the inner beauty ofeach individual while at thesame time restoring some ofthe glamour of old Holly-wood.”

While developing plans forthe KristiD Show, she is cur-rently hosting on Merci TV’s in-ternational satellite while alsoserving as an image consultantfor Global Private Funding.

Djadenko herself couldcertainly be described an over-achiever.

She attended Baltic Russ-ian Institute, earning a bache-

lors degree in foreign affairsand international law in 2006.Moving over to Baltic Interna-tional Academy, she took amaster’s degree in civil law twoyears later while working con-currently in a media agency.

Of course, during this time,she won the title of “MissLatvia” and represented hercountry in both the Miss Worldcompetition in southern Chinaand Miss International inMacau.

Meeting a number ofAmerican contestants in thesepageants, Djadenko decidedthat the opportunities in theU.S.A. were too promising topass up. Equipped with a tem-porary visa, she landed at LAXand headed straight to her newhome in Beverly Hills.

Soon after her arrival, shemet her now mentor, JimmySedghi, who has guided herburgeoning career ever since.The latter is a local businessconsultant and a former diplo-mat who had established thefirst Iranian radio station inAmerica.

He later became a confi-dant of the late Shah Moham-mad Reza Pahlavi and the royalfamily.

Prior to the Iranian Revolu-tion, he organized a tour to Iranof a number of Hollywood starsincluding Elizabeth Taylor,Connie Stevens, and ClorisLeachman.

At approximately 6:50p.m. on Jan. 25, a male and fe-male entered the store posingas customers looking at jewel-ry.

When the retail employeeopened the jewelry case to letthe suspects look, a third sus-pect appeared brandishing ahandgun and demanded jewel-ry from the retailer.

Hoshino said the thievesmade off with a load of miscel-laneous jewelry items and thestore reported losses of $1.43million to the BHPD.

All three suspects are be-tween the ages of 25-30 andare African-American, accord-ing to Hoshino, who said theBHPD is “actively working” onthe case but would likely notbe releasing surveillance tapeor photos.

Hoshino confirmed Thurs-day that the BHPD is still pur-suing the case but has not yetmade any arrests.

Hoshino said he “can’tthink of a loss that big” in re-cent memory regarding retailrobberies in Beverly Hills.

In a city known for the glamour of its lavishblack-tie soirées, nothing sets the bar higher for el-egance, sophistication and world class entertain-ment than the Palm Springs Art Museum’s annualmajor fundraising gala. Just ask any of the 400guests who paid $750 per person (and up) to at-tend this year’s SRO event.

The evening’s activities were divided into fourcomponents. Arriving guests were greeted atopthe museum’s grand entrance stairway–enhancedfor the occasion by multi-hued carpeting that setthe event’s Pucci-design theme–by gala co-chairsGeorgia and Jerry Fogelson along with RobertaHolland, president of the Museum AssociatesCouncil.

First stop for guests: the Houston Atrium andits lavish reception where glamorously-attired artpatrons mixed and mingled, barely noticing thetroupe of entirely-clad-in-gray mimes roamingthrough the space, seemingly oblivious to thecrowd around them.

The museum’s Annenberg Theater was thenext stop where guests were regaled with a mas-terful performance by a quartet called Under theStreetlamp. The name has its origin from the mid-1900s, when groups of guys (primarily) wouldhuddle on street corners in New Jersey, New Yorkand Philadelphia – under the streetlamp – and tryout their acappella harmonizing of rock ‘n’ roll,doo-wop and Motown hit songs.

Under the Streetlamp (Michael Cunio, ShonnWiley, Michael Ingersoll and Christopher KaleJones) pay homage to that time more than half-century ago with their flawless voices reprising thetimeless songs of what they refer to as the “GreatAmerican Radio Songbook.” It was a masterful,high energy evening brought to the Desert by fourveterans who have stared in various productionsof the Broadway hit Jersey Boys, a musical historyof Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.

Singing along with Under the Streetlamp andits seven-piece band builds up an appetite, so af-ter the group’s performance, guests returned to themuseum’s main level for a sit-down dinner in themain-floor Annenberg Wing, now transformedinto an elegant super club featuring Pucci-in-spired custom-designed table centerpieces andoverhead mobiles.

During dinner, violinist Brittany Cottover per-formed a medley of contemporary hits, makingher way among the diners while the Houston Atri-um was made ready for the New Sensation Bandwho provided music to dance the rest of the nightaway.

Want to be part of the fun? The museum’s an-nual gala may be over until next year, but the ex-

citing fundraisers presented by the museum’svarious auxiliary councils are sure to make for aseries of upcoming, fun-filled programs.

On Feb. 21, the museum’s Architecture andDesign Council presents a Mad Men-themedparty at the museum’s soon-to-be-renovated Ar-chitecture and Design Center in Palm Springs.

An Art of Shopping fundraiser featuring fash-ions, jewelry and lunch at Cuistot, one of PalmDesert’s premier restaurants, will be held on Feb.25.

The Western Art Council always providesunique, impressive funders such as the Mar. 2dinner in Jim Houston’s home, featuring RobertRedford and honoring artist Dan Namingha.

On Mar. 23, Photography Collection Coun-cil models its annual fundraiser at a private resi-dence in Palm Springs, after the famous 1966Truman Capote “Black and White Ball.”

If paying taxes will deplete the amount ofyour disposal income, then the “99 Bucks ArtSale,” on April 13 at Hotel Zoso in Palm Springs,will be just the thing to suit your budget.

More information about any of these muse-um’s events is at 760-322-4814.

******Along with golf courses, tennis courts,

swimming pools and an upscale lifestyle,Coachella Valley is also one of California’s mainagriculture centers. But did you know every year,millions of pounds of produce–a quarter of allfood crops–are left un-harvested, plowed underor destroyed? The reasons: cosmetic blemishes,overproduction or dwindling market price.

In 2001, Desert resident Christy Porter sawthis waste of edible, nutritional produce andknowing that about 40 percent of the children inthe Coachella Valley live in poverty along withnearly a quarter of all adults, decided to dosomething to alleviate the problem; and the non-profit Hidden Harvest was born. The organiza-tion collects and distrubutes unwanted produceto Valley agencies to feed the hungry. Using re-frigerated trucks, each delivery is tailored to thefood bank, soup kitchen or food pantry’s daysand hours of service to ensure the produce ar-rives at its freshest.

It has become so effective, (rescuing morethan 11 million pounds of produce since 2001),and been recognized by former President BillClinton and featured on the Clinton Health Mat-ters Initiative’s web site.

A support group, “Friends & Family of Hid-den Harvest,” holds its inaugural fundraiser on-Mar. 20. Call 760-398-8183 or additional infor-mation.

“He came at a difficult time and re-ally helped steer the district in the rightdirection and now it’s our time to sort ofpick up the ball and run with it.”

The superintendent said that

Cayab, who joined the BHUSD in2009, had proved “instrumental” inproviding greater accountability to thedistrict after former Facilities DirectorKaren Christiansen’s had tried to exploither district position for financial gain.

Woods estimated it would takethree months to fill the position.

pressed a desire to see funding help goto the Beverly Hills Unified School Dis-trict and supported a plan hashed outearlier this month by the City/BHUSDliaisons to funnel a little more than $4million into the district.

Vice Mayor John Mirisch, who firstsuggested the idea of using the City’ssurplus money to aid BHUSD to crawlout of its budget crisis, spoke of the per-sonal importance funding local schoolshas to him.

“I have a child in kindergarten whohas another 12 years of our schools...the schools are in a pickle and it’s notthrough their own making,” Mirischsaid. “We’re committed to not only fill-ing the hole, but to try to figure outlong term solultions to make sure kidsget a good education.”

Planning Commission Vice ChairBrian Rosenstein said the BHUSD/Cityliaison plan is “a great plan, wellthought out... when I walk door to door,I get the same answer when I ask ‘whydo you live here?’, it’s the police, thefire and the schools and the schools areabsolutely a priority whether you havechildren or not.”

Former mayor and former school-teacher Nancy Krasne called for an“ironclad JPA” and said chided Gov. Jer-ry Brown’s Prop. 30 fund redistributioneffort which ignores cities like BeverlyHills.

“Our children have learning dis-abilities and impairments just like anyother area. Our people jus expect moreand demand more and want more.”

Mayor Willie Brien said he hasbeen a “strong supporter of our schoolsdating back to when my kids were inschool.”

Beverly Hills lawyer Katherine Co-han, who has two small children inBHUSD schools, said: “We need tocome up with resolutions as to how wecan fund schools so we won’t have thatproblem next year and the year after.”

Candidates were also asked by hostand Muni League chairman ThomasWhite about various issues facing theCity, ranging from Metro attempting totunnel under Beverly Hills High Schoolto the T-Zone at Santa Monica Boule-vard and Wilshire Boulevard.

Other topics discussed includedhistoric preservation and the City’shomeless population.

SEASON FOR GIVING—In late December, The Women’s Auxiliary at the Los AngelesCountry Club held its annual Santa Scramble Golf Tournament with donations benefittingAlexandria House, a community-oriented transitional home for women and children inLos Angeles. The City of Beverly Hills Community Services Department had a personalcare supply drive in which nearly 100 items were delivered to the residents at AlexandriaHouse. The BHPD has supported the Women’s Auxiliary for more than 10 years at thisevent with a K-9 visit. Pictured (from left): Judy Vaughan, csj, founding director AlexandriaHouse; Joan MacLaughlin, president of the Women’s Auxiliary board at LACC; MaidaHastings and Julianne O’Connor, co-chairs of the golf tournament; and BHPD officer FinnO.

BHEF President Annette Saleh said.Just before the event, City Coun-

cilmember Lili Bosse and her husbandJon Bosse announced a $100,000 dona-tion to Beverly Hills schools as the firstprivate gift to kick-start the City’s$600,000 “matching” fund campaign.

Despite the recent City agreementto funnel $4 million to the Beverly HIllsUnified School district to plug the com-ing year’s budget deficit, BHEF Chair-man of the Board Jonathan Prince saidthe “new normal” going forward forpublic education in Beverly Hills willbe a $1,000 per student “ask” - whichwould yield over $4 million annuallyfor schools.

The BHEF will also look increasing-ly to the business community in addi-tion to high net worth individuals.

Fleming’s Beverly Hills OperatingPartner Tai Nguyen said the new Bever-

ly Hills restaurant was particularly ex-cited to help BHEF kick off its 35th year.

“Its a fantastic partnership,” he said.“We couldn’t be happier with how theevent turned out.

“We’re so grateful to the communi-ty of Beverly Hills for welcoming uswith open arms and we hope to be apositive contributing part of the com-munity.”

Fleming’s is now open daily at 252N. Beverly Dr.

Attendees, who paid $175 per per-son were treated to an exquisite seafoodtower, in addition to a complete steak,lobster and wine dinner, with all of theproceeds going to the BHEF.

“It’s great to see our communitycome together for a good cause,” Couri-er Publisher Clif Smith said. “It’s evenbetter when our newest businessesdemonstrate they want to be part of ourcommunity and not just a business ad-dress.”

CHLA SavingLives With BerlinArtificial Heart

Last December, the FDAapproved use of the life-savingBerlin Heart device for childrennationwide. Children’s Hosp-ital Los Angeles (CHLA) nowhas at least one or two patientson the device at any giventime.

A recent sucess story is 11-year-old Milan McMillan, whosuffered from Dilated Cardio-myopathy.

A healthy-appearing child,she had complained of abdom-inal pains and was prescribedan anti-acid medication a fewmonths preceding a family bar-becue in July when she wasexperiencing shortness ofbreath, chest pain, and abdom-inal pain. She awoke fromsleep with shortness of breath,palpitations, and her “heartracing.”

Her parents took her to alocal hospital, stating she “did-n’t look right.”

The emergency physicianthere detected a heart murmur,EKG abnormality, and de-creased heart function byechocardiography and she wastransferred to CHLA’sCardiothoracic Intensive Care

Unit (CTICU).“I could never imagine

something like this in a millionyears,” said Milan’s motherKaren. “She was an activemember of the YMCA, in wateraerobics, karate and basket-ball.”

After four months in thehospital, she had the deviceimplanted in September byCardiothoracic surgeon Dr.Cynthia Herrington.

About the size of a softball,the device rests outside thebody connected to the heartwith tubes and attached to apump and external drive.

Dr. Herrington also did thesuccessful heart transplant inDecember and Milan was ableto go home for the holidaysafter being on the heart trans-plant list for “quite a while.”

At the time she was one ofmore than 250 children nation-wide awaiting a heart trans-plant.

“A bridge to transplant,” asHerrington describes it, theBerlin “is an amazingly gooddevice,” she says. “Kids do welland it keeps children alive toget a transplant.”

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 1). You’ll reinvent your-self and make a comeback this year. This month, seekexperts and listen to them. The next six weeks bringan interview process–sometimes you’re asking thequestions, other times you’re answering. You’ll nab asweet job in May. June and October bring travel, pas-sion and fun. Cancer and Leo people adore you.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your life’s work does-n’t culminate in a day. The projects you’ll be knownfor will happen over the course of months or years.So forget about the long term, and settle into whatyou must accomplish today. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). Someone likes the wayyou laugh at jokes, forward conversations in interest-ing directions and add to collaborations in unpre-dictable ways. Do you know who your fan is? ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). As your guiding planet slipsinto a water sign, you may feel as though the ideasyou spark are being quickly extinguished. That’s whyyou need to surround yourself with similarly brightand hopeful creative people. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). Is consistency too muchto ask from people? You’re rock solid when it comesto keeping your commitments that you can’t wrapyour head around the flakey way some people live.Just know they have their reasons.GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your popularity secret issimple: You’re looking for ways to add value to whatothers are doing. And you take just enough to let oth-ers know that you’re participating in appreciation. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re usually most com-fortable in your own space. So when you feel verymuch yourself in a place outside your home, it willget the wheels of your mind turning. Can you bringelements of this place into your abode? LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s no such thing as toomuch loveliness, and you’ll quest to fill your senseswith the beauty you know is out there. But where isit? You’ll have to branch out to find it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). As you traverse new ter-ritory, be wise and bring a machete. Whackingthrough weeds and brush will be hard work, but onlyonce. Next time your way will be clear. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The moon in your highlyaesthetic sign gives a silver glow to all you do. Don’tbe surprised if people want to take your picture,scribble notes when they talk to you or documentyour presence in other ways.SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Sometimes it feels asthough if you don’t get the privacy you need, you’llgo bonkers. The human animal can be as territorial asa bear, and it’s only natural to fight for your space.Just try not to eat anyone. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Tom Jones insisted,“It’s not unusual to be loved by anyone...”And yet, ifyour nearest and dearest enjoys amorous attentionthat's not coming from you, it’s also not unusual tobecome seriously annoyed. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s not like you tounthinkingly jump into speech, but an unusual envi-ronment can inspire you to make that leap. Likely, itwill feel as though there’s no time to sort things out;you just have to act.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. On December 13, 2012, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing, whichwas continued to the following meeting on December 20, 2012, at which the Planning Commissionadopted Resolution No. 1660, recommending that the City Council amend the Zoning Code to estab-lish a process by which deviations from development standards occurring as a result of constructioncan be approved if certain findings are met. On January 8, 2013, the City Council held a duly noticedpublic hearing, received public testimony, and thereafter introduced this Ordinance.

Section 2. This Ordinance was assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in theCalifornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental reg-ulations of the City. It has been determined that adoption of this Ordinance would not have a signifi-cant environmental impact and is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of theCalifornia Code of Regulations. The City Council hereby finds that it can be seen with certainty thatthere is no possibility that the adoption and implementation of this Ordinance may have a significanteffect on the environment.

Section 3. This Ordinance is consistent with the objectives, principles, and standards of the GeneralPlan. The contemplated deviations from zoning code standards that would be authorized through theproposed substantial compliance determinations involve minor changes to the City’s development stan-dards, would not alter or change designated land uses, and would not be contrary to any of the goals,policies and programs in the General Plan.

Section 4. This Ordinance is consistent with the recommendations of the Mayor’s Task Force onGovernmental Efficiency as presented to the City Council on December 19, 2011. In its report, the TaskForce included a recommendation to establish a procedure through which minor deviations from zon-ing code standards that occurred as a result of construction could be approved in certain instances.

Section 5. The City Council hereby amends Section 10-3-203 of Article 2 of Chapter 3 of Title 10 of theBeverly Hills Municipal Code by adding the following language, with all other language in that Sectionto remain unchanged:

“G. Substantial Compliance Determination.

Asubstantial compliance determination may be approved, with or without conditions, for the zoning codestandards listed in the table included in this section if the reviewing authority makes all of the followingfindings:

1. That requiring strict compliance with the zoning code would create substantial financial hardship for the applicant;

2. That the items that deviate from the code would not exceed the permissible deviations stated in the table included in this section;

3. That approval of a substantial compliance determination would not result in substantial, adverse impacts to neighboring properties;

4. That approval of a substantial compliance determination would not pose a threat to life or safety;

5. That the circumstances surrounding the request for a substantial compliance determination do not indicate that the applicant intended to deviate from the zoning code standards.

Nothing in this section shall allow the amount of front yard paving, the floor area of a building, or theheight of a building to exceed the limitations in the zoning code.

Nothing in this section shall authorize any encroachment onto the public right-of-way or onto neighbor-ing properties.

The reviewing authority for a substantial compliance determination shall be the director of communitydevelopment. If, in the opinion of the director an application merits review by the planning commission,the director may refer such application to the planning commission and the planning commission shallserve as the reviewing authority for such application and shall conduct a noticed public hearing regard-ing the requested substantial compliance determination.

Notice of a public hearing, an intended decision and a final decision shall be provided in accordancewith Section 10-3-3602 of this code.

The applicant or any person aggrieved by any decision regarding a substantial compliance determina-tion may appeal to the planning commission, if the original decision was made by the director, or to thecity council, if the original decision was made by the planning commission, as provided in title 1, chap-ter 4, article 1 of this code.

THE HONEYMOON IS OVER!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

CONGRATS TO FLEMING’S, BHEF AND US... THE COURIER

From the PublisherCLIF SMITH

The millions who packed the Washington mall to witness theswearing-in of President Barack Hussein Obama for a secondterm have returned to their usual routines. The cleaning crew haspicked up the trash left by the cheering crowd. The Democrats,Republicans and what have you have resumed their bickeringabout the policies of our government and plans are being laid outfor the next national elections two years ahead. The unwieldywheels of governing this great republic have returned to theirgrinding, and the citizens have now turned their attention to thesports, market, Oscars and climate, which regularly claim ourattention.

What a wonderful country is ours! We never seem to lacksome national issue to command our attention so we can chooseup sides and take opposing positions to those of us who care. Thestatistics of the percentage of us who engage in these activitiesvary little. There is a huge body of our citizens who never seem toget involved and leave it to the rest of us to make the decisionsthat affect their lives, seemingly confident that the activists will dothe right thing.

One statistic, which encourages me, is the age of the activistsseems to be dropping. The young adults who register and becomeinvolved in the political process are increasing in numbers.Candidates are no longer simply senior citizens alreadyentrenched in politics. I see more fresh-faced and college bredpolitically active younger candidates surfacing to take the place ofsome who have been in office too long. I see the emergence ofpeople of all the races and colors eager to serve in the publicarena. Unless the Old Guard stonewalls them, we shall soon findthem a majority among our political leaders. The above gives mehope for our great republic and regret I shall be here to witness it.But – carry on without me!

The Courier is proud to be a Education Partner

On behalf of the board of directors of the Beverly HillsEducation Foundation, we want to acknowledge and thank all ofthose who made the recent grand opening of Fleming’s PrimeSteakhouse and Wine Bar in Beverly Hills a great success.Proceeds from the evening topped $45,000, all of which directlybenefits our children and their schools.

The evening would not have been possible without the sup-port and generosity of Fleming's B.H.’s Operating Partner TaiNguyen, Chef Partner Brandon Powell, Rich Frank and the FrankFamily Vineyards, plus the support received from The Courier, ourmedia partner and co-sponsor.

A special thank you also goes to all of our attendees for theircontinued and steadfast support of the BHEF in our pursuit to funda well-rounded, robust public education for all students in BeverlyHills public schools. We could not do the work that we do with-out all of you! Annette Saleh, BHEF President

I want to sincerely thank Lili Bosse and John Mirisch for doingan incredible job of looking out for Beverly Hills and its residents.A few weeks back I received a letter from the BHPD regarding theCity's possible intention to install an AT&T Outdoor DistributedAntenna System. The letter explains AT&T would not be installingjust one antenna but close to 100 all over our neighborhood. (Iwonder what other cell companies have done in B.H.).

An attached map indicated where the installations would beplaced. When I read point #14, I grew quite alarmed as it talksabout the RF Radio Frequency fields, and the radiation exposureof just one antenna. Well, if one emitted radiation how much radi-ation exposure would 100 be doing? Shouldn't this be consid-ered a health concern since it is the cumulative effect of radiationwhichposes health risk. Lili Bosse and John Mirisch really listenedand are now researching my inquiry. They deserve a great deal ofcredit for making sure we are living in a healthy, safe environment.

Reading the entire pay/benefit packages of employees of theCity of Beverly Hills which includes the unbelievable retirementpackages of every City employee,(3 percent of the average of thehighest 3 years multiplied by each year of service up to a maxi-mum of 30 years service or 90 percent of salary), is both disgrace-ful and shocking. This is especially so knowing Beverly Hillsrenters and property owners will ultimately carry the burden ofpaying these pension benefits that dwarf the retirement of all butthe very richest private citizens.

To me it brings to mind the lyrics of the song EverybodyKnows by gifted singer/songwriter Leonard Cohen: “Everybodyknows that the dice are loaded....Everybody knows the good guyslost....Everybody knows the fight was fixed....The poor stay poor,the rich get rich....Thats how it goes....Everybody knows.”

To correct these unaffordable, unfair benefit packages will notbe easy. The entire City bureaucracy with few brave exceptionswill fight against any lessening of these golden packages onsteroids. They will use disinformation, threats, work stoppages andGod knows what else in this coming fight. They will be aided bytheir usual City Council allies who always seem to know what isbest for the City, the cost be damned.Thank heaven The Couriercontinues to expose important issues like the Roxbury Park boon-doggle and this even more important issue threatening to bankrupteither the City or its citizens–or perhaps both.

Last week, Beverly Hills’ newest restaurant threw a “welcome” party that met or exceeded thehighest standards and expectations of our community. Fleming’s newest outpost, on North BeverlyDrive, generously funded a sold-out event for the Beverly Hills Education Foundation. The eveningraised $45,000 for our public schools.

The Courier jumped in with both feet as media sponsor, providing coverage, promotion, videoand photography. We were proud to do it.

The evening’s entry price was substantial, but everyone we spoke with said “The price was worthit.” To make no mistake, Fleming’s paid for all food, beverage and service (all were absolutely out-standing). The excellent dinner wines were a gift from the Frank Family Vineyards, headed by for-mer Disney television chief Rich Frank. He and his wife, KABC’s Leslie Miller, both attended.

The red carpet arrivals, the standing-room-only crowd, the beautiful new restaurant–and the fab-ulous hors d’oevres and dinner–all combined to make it a magical evening.

BHEF President Annette Saleh thanked the supporters, Fleming’s partner-owner Tai Nguyen andchef partner Brandon Powell, and The Courier for their support. The event was a huge “win” forAnnette who fought hard for the event along with executive director Matt Zarkufsky. Kudos as wellto the entire BHEF board and dinner committee. Applause all around.

The evening proved that when new businesses come to Beverly Hills to be part of Beverly Hills,they are welcomed enthusiastically.

We thank Fleming’s for its generous gesture of good will and commitment to be part of our City.******************************

INVESTIGATIONS VS. LOBBYISTSThe past two weeks The Courier published – without editorial comment – the actual cost to

Beverly Hills taxpayers of our City government staff. What we have not yet published is what all ofthe categories of pay and benefits actually add up to. We’re trying to do the arithmetic. “Math ishard” when you are trying to interpret bureaucratic gobbledygook about pay and benefits. We’veasked the questions, but the answers we received were not particularly helpful.

What is The Courier now doing?By next week, we will have done the math. We will report the totals.In the meantime, we caution our readers during this election cycle to look to the sources of infor-

mation. The Courier follows the practice of “double sourcing” all our information, or, as in the caseof city finances, reporting directly from official documentation we believe to be trustworthy. WhenThe Courier reports facts, they are facts.

We believe that the straight facts we have published prove that the employees of the City ofBeverly Hills are not poor, underpaid “civil servants” who have given up a financial pot of gold toserve us. They are well paid, given amazing benefits, awarded a huge pension and lots of time off.We have more staff in this City per capita than any other in California (in this calculation we excludepolice, fire and paramedic – this City demands and gratefully pays for the best in public safety). Wesupport top pay for public safety. We do not support featherbedding and massive pensions that willconsume all our money within the next 10 years.

The pay and pension issue is serious, as is the battle against the Metropolitan Transit Authority’stwo tunnels underneath Beverly Hills High School. The outcome of both issues will determine thefate of our City. Unfortunately, we have some paid lobbyists in and around our City who keepattacking those who defend us while they promote those who would sell us out. (Just look at whopaid for what.)

The Metro tunnels are not an issue for Beverly High only. Just this past week, neighbors of theproposed La Cienega and Wilshire station – touted by Mayor Willie Brien as being “without contro-versy” – are now learning that their very existence is threatened by the massive excavation plannedby Metro at that location. According to Metro, an open trench nearly 2,000 feet or more long andnearly 100 feet wide will take all of Wilshire for up to seven years. Plus, the big dirt haulers 24/7 inand out. How will our signature “Restaurant Row” fare? How will the adjacent medical buildingsfare? How will the historic Fox Wilshire – now the Saban Theater – survive? Metro told these peo-ple there would be no open ditch, no damage to foundations – that it will all be just fine. That isnot true, as they are now learning.

With Metro, when certain council candidates say: “Oh, pooh, pooh, there’s nothing wrong,” youneed to look at who is supporting them. Where does their campaign money come from? Are theyrunning to represent Beverly Hills or running “for the greater good of the region”? These are fairquestions. The Courier endorsed Vice Mayor John Mirisch last week because we know for a factwhere he stands. We also know where at least one of his opponents stands on this, and it is not withBeverly Hills. That conclusion will be obvious to all readers in the next few weeks, if not alreadyobvious, based on that candidate’s own statements and votes. None of this will be spun, invented ormade-up by The Courier.

What we can expect, however, is that the paid mouthpieces of Beverly Hills will chime in.What you will not see, however, is any facts coming from them to back up the pandering.

Our City faces these two controversies that will determine our future as a City. The Courierasks that you truly look at the facts.The Courier welcomes “Letters to the Editor.” (1)The shorter the better; (2)Refrain from personal attacksor insults; (3)Keep to one topic; (4) Do not send letters appearing elsewhere.
