The future of finances inBeverly Hills was a hot topic ofdebate at last Thursday’s South-west Homeowners AssociationCity Council election forum atCity Hall.

Candidates were grilled bySouthwest HOA President KenGoldman on a variety of top-ics, but much of it centered

around City salaries, pensionsand how the candidates wouldfund many of the ideas theyhave for the City moving for-ward.

There were, however,plenty of solutions. When ViceMayor John Mirisch spoke ofhis priorities, including rejuve-nating the Southeast of BeverlyHills and continuing to be ag-

gressive in the fight againstMetro, Goldman simply askedhow the City could pay for allthat.

“One thing you can do isyou get (City) employees tostart contributing to their ownpensions,” Mirisch said. “Ouremployees don’t pay a pennyto their own pensions, so that

“Shall we be honest?We need young people tobring the vision of the city tothe next level. This is why Isupport Brian Rosenstein andhis candidacy for the BeverlyHills City Council. Brian’s inhis mid-thirties, and I washappy to host a reception forhim at my home. I’m contin-ually impressed with Brian,with what he does, and myguests were grateful to meetand know him. Brian thinksoutside the box. His viewsare not black and white.How refreshing that is,” saysTom Blumenthal, the much-liked president/CEO ofGeary’s in Beverly Hills, thefriendly and elegant empori-um with its collection of unri-valed luxury brands.

“Brian’s been involved

with the city for fifteen years.He deeply respects the resi-dents, as we all do, but it’simportant to understand thatbusiness keeps the city alive,”continues Tom. “As past pres-ident of our Beverly HillsChamber of Commerce andthe Rodeo Drive Committee,I’ve observed Brian’s loyalactivism regarding the bestsolutions.”

Having known Brianfrom his childhood, Anne andKirk Douglas co-hosted areception for several dozenfriends, along with VickiReynolds, our former BeverlyHills Mayor, her husbandMurray Pepper, and Brian’sparents, Anita and ArnoldRosenstein, at the Rosensteinresidence.

“Brian kept watchingmy golf game when he wasten or eleven,” reminiscedKirk. “I’m in the drivingrange one weekend, and thiskid comes up and hits theballs over the fence! Ouchand wow! In no time Brianbecame a champion golfer.The more I got to know him,the more I realized how muchhe cared about the communi-ty he was growing up in. Heintroduced me to our Chief ofPolice, and I was bowled overthat Brian knew everyonefrom all the different depart-ments. And they loved him.”

“He cares about theresidents, having attendedmore City Council and schoolboard meetings than manymembers,” added VickiReynolds, “and let’s remem-ber he served with distinctionon the Traffic & ParkingCommission and on thePlanning Commission. Thatexperience is invaluable.”

We’ve long admiredBrian from his school days.Mom Anita’s the sought-afterinvestment adviser for fami-lies that she prefers remainanonymous, and dad Arnoldhas graced our communitywith beautiful architectureand environmentally greensurroundings.

After graduating fromCal State Northridge where hemajored in U.S. studies, Brianjoined the public relationsdepartment at ColumbiaPictures. Soon enough wefound ourselves in a workingrelationship whenever werequired facts or photographsfor our thrice-weekly column,“The Great Life” in TheHollywood Reporter, whichwe wrote for 25 years. Brianwas at the ready, and wecommended him for his car-

ing, commitment and hardwork. We experienced thisfirst hand.

“As a youngster, Brianwas a very giving child,” saysAnita. “He insisted on donat-ing his toys for others to playwith. After inheriting somemoney at age 21, he set up afoundation rather than buy aslick car, as some of his con-temporaries did. I realizedthen that Brian has a greatsense of fiscal responsibility.Buy on credit, pay the bill,and avoid the late 17 percentfee. I can’t tell you how manyyoung actors, who haveearned huge salaries frommovies and television, squan-dered everything and arebroke.

“My grandparents,Anita and Tom May, whofounded the May Company,were devoted civic citizens,teaching us time and againabout the blessing of givingback. Not just with funds, butwith time and energy andwork. Not many know thatBrian’s volunteered hundredsof hours with the policedepartment, which endorseshis City Councilcandidacy, asdo theFi re f i gh te r s .Brian knowshow to dealwith pressure,as he doeswhen hereaches the18th hole in agolf game.”

“B rianbegan golfingat age eight,”adds Arnold.“He patientlytook time todevelop hisgame andbecame a top

competitor. He has a greathead for business, invest-ments and real estate, andboth Anita and I remainamazed at how well-informedhe is.”

While he loved golfing,and still plays, Brian’s passioncenters on “being there” forBeverly Hills. His philanthro-py is evident with TempleEmanuel, and with the CPRorganization that he sponsors,with classes in administeringvital first aid, among otherprojects.

When we wonderedwhy Brian attended all theCity Council and Board ofEducation meetings, heanswered, “That’s the onlyway you learn.” He’s proudof the 911 Memorial near theFire Station, having con-tributed funds and advised onthe design.

Amiable and good-look-ing and with a generoussmile, Brian’s hangout is Nate’n Al’s, where he dresses up

Beauty Brief

Former Gov. Gray Davis moderatedthe debate which was emceed by KNXNewsradio host Frank Mottek. Eachcandidate gave an opening and closingstatement, plus two minute responses toa series of questions. The main topicwas economics – the city’s deficits andunemployment.

Frontrunners Perry, Gruel andGarcetti touted their records in officewhile James and Peitez blamed “the in-siders” for the city’s fiscal problems.Perry is best known for her key role inbringing the L.A. Live complex to life,along with new hotels, restaurants andresidents into the central city. Garcettitouted new development in his district,which includes Hollywood, while Gru-el focused on her record of fiscal auditsand management.

Still, all candidates cited necessary

reductions in city employee pay andbenefits. Today, Los Angeles police andfire contribute 10 percent to their ownhealth care and 11 percent to their ownretirement. All candidates stressed theneed to bring all city employees up tothat level of contribution.

Perry denounced the maneuver bycurrent Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa ear-lier this year to “close the deficit” in LosAngeles, initially $1.2 billion, by simplytransferring 1600 city employees to De-partment of Water and Power payrolls.The L.A. DWP then awarded raises tothem. The move simply transferred theliability to a city-owned agency, but didnothing to control the cost of govern-ment.

In contrast, all Beverly Hills cityemployees pay nothing towards theirhealthcare of pensions.

UCLA Study Shows Promise, OffersHope For Brain Hemorrhage Patients

A new endoscopic surgical proce-dure has been shown to be safer and toresult in better outcomes than the cur-rent standard medical treatment for pa-tients who suffer strokes as a result ofbrain hemorrhages, UCLA neurosur-geons have announced.

Findings from their potentiallygroundbreaking, randomized, con-trolled phase 2 clinical trial, which wasconducted at multiple medical centers,were presented last week at the Inter-national Stroke Conference in Honolu-lu.

“These exciting results offer a glim-mer of hope for a condition that mostdoctors have traditionally consideredhopeless,” said principal investigatorDr. Paul Vespa, professor of neuro-surgery at the UCLA’s David GeffenSchool of Medicine and director of theneurocritical care program at RonaldReagan UCLA Medical Center. “That isa big deal in medicine.”

Stroke is the leading cause of deathand long-term disability in America.During a stroke, bleeding becomes tox-ic and deadly in the brain. Brain hem-orrhage that causes stroke is a devastat-ing, critical condition with a mortalityrate of 75 percent. If a patient does sur-vive, he or she could face a life of se-vere disability. Nearly 800,000 Ameri-cans suffer strokes each year.

The new study, led by Vespa andDr. Neil Martin, chair of neurosurgeryat the David Geffen School of Medicineat UCLA, in conjunction with JohnsHopkins University, set out to deter-mine the safety and effectiveness of re-moving blood using a “keyhole” inci-sion—smaller than the size of a dime—with the aid of an endoscope.

During the procedure, the endo-scope, a tiny probe with a light andvideo camera on the tip, is used to nav-igate with GPS-like precision. The im-age-guided system displays CT scans ofthe brain on video monitors, allowingsurgeons to immediately pinpoint andremove the blood.

Nicole Partovy, 18, ofBeverly Hills will be among theUCLA students taking part in the26-hour “Dance Marathon” thisweekend to raise money andeducate people about pediatricHIV and AIDS.

The event, Feb. 16-17, issponsored by the school’sPediatric AIDS Coalition.

“After I learned about all the

great work the Pediatric AIDS Coalition does andabout how successfully Dance Marathon con-tributes to the cause, I became very passionateabout staying on my feet for 26 hours to promotethe cause,” said Partovy.

The largest student-run philanthropic organi-zation on the West Coast, the coalition has organ-ized the dance marathon every Presidents’ Dayweekend for the last 11 years.

So far, the organization has contributed morethan $3 million toward beneficiaries including theElizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation,Project Kindle, a free camp for children affected bythe disease; and the UCLA AIDS Institute.

Last year alone, Dance Marathon united morethan 3,000 supporters and grossed $450,000 incontributions.

The daughter of Ramin and Kathrine Partovy,Nicole attended El Rodeo and while at BHHS tookpart in a Service Learning class.

“We had an annual World AIDS Day event,and one year we had children with AIDS come andspeak to the student body about the impact thatpediatric AIDS has had on their lives,” Partovyrelated. “I’m passionate about this cause because itis close to my heart and I feel that awareness is keyto putting a stop to AIDS and supporting all thosewho are affected.”

Partovy is preparing for the event with cardioand weights; “but I don’t know if I will ever befully ready for a straight 26 hours of dancing,” shesaid. “I’m hoping my passion for the cause and themomentum of the event will keep me going. I’mreally excited because I will be challenging myself,having fun with my friends, and raising money for,and awareness about, a really amazing cause.”

Resident Jason Naziri is also planning on tak-ing part.

‘7 Secrets Of Happy People,’ Dealing With JealousyQ. Dr. Fran, recently I’vebeen getting caught in argu-ments and power-struggleswith my husband, children,and co-workers. I’ve neverthought of myself as an an-gry person, but lately I’mwondering because I feelfrustrated much of the time.What can I do to turn thispattern around? Jennifer S.

A. Dear Jennifer, firstself-examine by asking your-self these questions. Is any-thing in my life different orparticularly stressful or wor-risome? Could I be experi-encing hormonal, medical,or physical changes?

Try your best to identifythe underlying factors con-tributing to your short fuse.Then, follow my “7 Secretsof Happy People” tips below.

1. Give up trying to con-trol other people. We can’tchange others, but with greatmotivation and hard workwe can change ourselves.

If you’re having troublewith your kids don’t let itbuild and fester. Consult achild psychologist to learnbetter parenting tools andstrategies.

2. Praise every incre-ment in yourself toward in-dependence and movingoutward into the world.Cherish your ability to stand

on your own. Autonomy andself-reliance directly targetself-esteem.

3. View people as gooduntil they demonstrate other-wise. Most people are good.Those who are not will re-veal themselves in time andyou can weed out the oneswho are unworthy of yourfriendship.

4. Do not strive for per-fection. Be “good enough.”

5. Build self-esteem to-ward self and others by usingwords that support and moti-vate with empathic attune-ment, rather than criticize.

Many of us can beharshly self-critical. Becomea benign self-observer ratherthan self-judge.

6. Express your feelingsin the moment. Do not allowanger and disappointment tobuild up inside you. Saywhat you feel clearly and re-spectfully. It will free you.

7. Give yourself “specialtime.“ Take 15 minutes eachday to be with yourself andchill. You’d be surprised howchallenging this is when youhave a spouse and childrentugging at you 24/7. Giveyourself short, undivided,positive attention each dayto nourish and fortify you.

Q. Dr. Fran, my 8-year olddaughter is jealous and envi-ous of her friends. How can

I help my child dealwith envious feelings shehas? Are these feelings nor-mal in grade school? Sam R.

A. Dear Sam, I defineenvy as “wish I had it andshe didn’t.” There is ill-will inenvy.

This is different fromjealousy which I define as “Iwish I had it, too.”

It is absolutely normalfor grade-school children(and adults) to feel jealous.

Envy has a tinge ofmeanness and needs specialattention to help get to theroot cause.

Often, envy is sourced inthe attachment relationshipbetween infant and motherthat went off-track.

The way to help a childdeal with jealous and envi-ous feelings is to first em-pathize out loud in a narra-tive style about her feelingsand wants.

For instance you mightsay, “Sally has red shoes andyou wish you did, too. It’s

hard when you can’t havethe very thing you want rightnow.”

The key is for you to de-liver this compassionate re-flective statement with gen-uine empathy.

You can offer yourdaughter a plan in which shecan work to earn and saveenough money to participatein buying red shoes.

We can’t always havewhat we want and that is adisappointment. Each timeyour child experiences dis-appointment you are givingher an opportunity to grow.Praise your child for express-ing envious feeling to you.

Envy can destroy friend-ships. Help her learn to ac-knowledge, validate, and ac-cept herself—flaws and all

A Good Day To Die Hard–ConvolutedScript Saved By Creative Heroics

A comic once said on hisdeathbed: “Dying is easy, com-edy is hard.” I have just seen AGood Day To Die Hard, the fifthinstallment of the Die Hard filmseries and, believe me, dying is-n’t easy, especially, when beingriddled with many bullets upset-ting your digestive track.

A convoluted script, py-rotechnics, lots of noise, lots ofassault rifles, lots of bullets, lotsof car crashes, lots of bodiesadds up to little entertainmentunless, of course, you are aproduct of our young hell-bentsociety and enjoy waste.

Set in Russia, director JohnMoore spends a good portion ofthe opening sequences with an-other wild and destructive carchase…. a necessary elementfor films of this genre.

Our hero, John McClane(Bruce Willis) goes to Russia tolocate his wild and reckless son,Jack (Jai Courtney). When he lo-cates him, Jack is on trial in aheavily guarded courtroom witha brilliant scientist. John seemsthunderstruck as the two prison-ers escape through the artistryand maniacal imagination ofthe writers and Moore.

With guns blazing, bloodgushing and every seemingly

metal object crushed, John joinsin the melee even though hisson is not that thrilled to seehim. We soon understand why,but please, when you are fight-ing off hundreds of upset armedRussians, one would think Jackwould welcome any and allsupport. Talk about unapprecia-tive kids!

As the film continues sodoes the violence. In this mod-ern age with the accessibility toshoot‘em-up videos, toys,games, movies and the like,some of the mentally chal-lenged need not be filling theirsordid imaginations with addedbrutality. The continual thirst forbodies and blood should andmust be curtailed by conscien-tious producers. The pace in AGood Day To Die Hard and un-believable heroics coupled withcreative escapes are sufficient tokeep a moviegoer’s attention inthis latest Willis venture.

Documentary Following Lives OfNazi Descendants Opens Today

German-Israeli documen-tary filmmaker Chanoch Ze’evi’sHitler’s Children, following thedescendants of top Nazi com-manders as they struggle toaccept and live with the “sins oftheir fathers,” opens Friday, Feb.15 at Music Hall Theatre, 9036Wilshire Blvd. for one week.

Featuring the grandchildren,children and godchildren ofAdolf Hitler, Hans Frank,Hermann Göring, Rudolf Hoess (commandant of Auschwitz) andothers, the film in English,German and Hebrew withEnglish subtitles, and was shot inthe U.S, Germany and Israel.

Ze’evi has been makingfilms for the past 17 years,including a number of filmsabout Holocaust survivors andtheir families. He also becameinterested in the flipside of the

equation: the descendants of theinner circle of Nazi perpetrators.He found similarities betweenthe two groups. In his words,“Neither wanted to talk. TheGermans for obvious reasonsbecause of their desire to startnew families, without referenceto the shady pasts of their fami-lies and without removing theskeletons from the closet. Onour side, the children of sur-vivors had grown up in homes ofpeople who ‘had been there’and they too were silent.”

However, as Chanochimmersed himself in these com-munities he discovered, “thethird generation on both sideswant to re-open the story.” Hebegun to seek out the second-and third-generation descen-dants of the Nazis’ inner circle,and his documentary was born.

creates immediate savings and createssome fiscal leeway.”

Former Mayor Nancy Krasneechoed similar sentiments and said theCity needed to change its policy onpensions.

“They are collecting pensions at 50(years old), if you’re a City employee,police and fire, you don’t choose to stayon if you’re making only 10 cents forevery dollar they earn,” Krasne said.“Retirement age needs to be bumped upand no money from any retirement fundunless you’re disabled should be takenout of fund until 65... or 70”.

Mayor Willie Brien said that contin-uing on the path the City has been on isthe best way to get out from under theCity’s current $116 million unfunded li-ability debt.

“We need to continue working onthe same type of things.. convertingfrom defined benefit to defined contri-bution,” Brien said. “What we’re doingby paying down liabilities is protectingthe future interests of the community.”

Each candidate spoke on a topicthat had not yet come up in previous fo-rums, regarding whether they wouldever consider a project that would in-crease the City’s three-story height limitor exceed the 2-to-1 Floor Area Ratio(FAR).

Planning Commission Vice ChairBrian Rosenstein gave an example of aproject the Planning Commission is cur-

rently looking at regarding the iPicMovie Theatre on Canon Drive, whichwas previously approved at 60-feet tall.

“We’ve heard from hundreds of res-idents they want this movie theater onCanon,” Rosenstein said. “It fits wellwith the community.. it’s not near resi-dential, doesn’t abut any residential, inthe business triangle and is traffic neu-tral compared to the prior project...that’s an example where I would be OKwith it.”

Mirisch said it wouldn’t depend onthe project and how supportive thecommunity was of it.

“I wouldn’t say never, there wouldhave to be tremendous public benefitsand community buy-in” Mirisch said,giving the example of a museum. “Or ifit produces a tremendous amount ofrevenue and neighbors are not con-cerned by it.”

Krasne disagreed.“The answer is no,” she said. “The

community put in a general plan andworked on it for 10 to 11 years, this waswhat we can up with... we need to stickwith the general plan.”

Beverly Hills lawyer and residentKatherine Cohan said she’s “pro devel-opment.”

“One of the reasons we’re here isbecause we’re constantly developing,”Cohan said. “I’d like to hear from resi-dents first about whatever is being de-veloped and see what the residentsaround the development are thinking.”

to issue a Request for Proposals for pub-lic relations services. Boardmember LisaKorbatov voted against and Boardmem-ber Brian Goldberg abstained, followingan earlier motion he made to table anRFP, at least until May when the districthas its revised financial prospectus.

While the board emphasized theRFP issuance was only exploratory, ac-cording to the submitted timeline, theboard could approve the $50,000 posi-tion in late March. The Beverly Hills Ed-ucation Foundation has said that it willsplit the cost for the position.

The board’s decision to issue an RFPfor public relations services comes in re-sponse to the district Finance Commit-tee’s recommendation at the Jan. 22board meeting to enact a comprehen-sive communications program in orderto better inform the community aboutBHUSD endeavors and prepare resi-dents for a likely property tax increase.

As the Board of Education preparesto vote on accelerating the $334 millionMeasure E bond payback rate – a votethat does not require constituent ap-proval under Proposition 39 – theBHUSD has been challenged to garnercommunity support.

Accelerating the payback rate is ex-pected to save the property owners up-wards of $2 billion over the life of theMeasure E school building bond, whichvoters approved in 2008 predicated onthe promise that property taxes wouldnot increase beyond $49.71 per$100,000 of assessed valuation.

Property owners now pay $52 per$100,000 of assessed valuation as a re-

sult of economic changes that affect therate, evidence of what boardmembersand Finance Committee members callthe “lie” that the community was soldon.

At a poorly attended Town Hall onJan. 15, Board VP Noah Margo laid outa plan to roughly two dozen communi-ty members that would raise the tax rateto $111 per $100,000 of assessed valu-ation in 2014 and progressively rachet itdown to $60 in 2034 for the final 20years of the bond payback, in order toshave 22 years off the life of the bond.

Last Friday, during a two-hour pres-entation evaluating Measure E bondsales made by Keygent Advisors to theFinance Committee, the committeewrestled with figuring out a way to edu-cate the community that acceleratingthe bond payback rate is necessary toensure that there is sufficient funds tosupport the current school-buildingprojects, in addition to saving the com-munity vast sums on property taxes.

“We have to explain to the commu-nity…what was unrealistic about thatpromise,” Finance Committee Chair MelSpitz said.

Despite the board’s unified direc-tion to staff last month to explore creat-ing a public relations position, this weekboth Korbatov and Goldberg questionedif actually hiring for the position wouldsend the wrong message to the commu-nity by expending money on public re-lations.

“Our first PR blunder might be hir-ing this position,” Goldberg said. ”Ithink this is something that is needed inour district, again, I just don’t knowabout the timing.”

With Lower Gas & Electric Bills, And get a FREE 10 Year Warranty! (But you must act now while the special circumstance that created this unique offer is still available.)

Dear Friend,

Right now I have a program that will allow a 41 customers to buy a new central air system with no moneydown and as low as $24 per week. Actually, with this program homeowners will probably be able to buy anew system without taking any money out of their pocket. I'll explain later.You may be thinking...WHY WOULD ONE HOUR MAKE THIS INCREDIBLE OFFER?The answer is simple, I bought too many air conditioning and heating systems this winter and I haven't beenable to sell them all.Most people wait for their system to break before they think of buying an air conditioner or furnace. Even ifyou weren't having problems with your air conditioning or heating until last year, or if it is just old and ineffi-cient...The questions you should be asking are, “Is this the year I have to replace it? Will I get caught in theheat or cold? Are my utility bills too high?” If the answer to any of these questions is yes, let me turn...MYPROBLEM INTO YOUR OPPORTUNITY!Every year I have to guess how many air conditioners and heaters to buy to meet the demand. Of course I'mnever exactly right. And this year again I'm way off because of the "crazy" weather and I have 41 "extra" sys-tems sitting in our warehouse in the four most popular sizes.These 41 systems are brand new 2013 models and have full factory warranty.They are NOT seconds or "blems" or standard "builders" models. They are factory fresh "high efficient" air con-ditioners and furnaces that I bought at a much reduced price because of the large size of my order. I havebeen able to sell almost all of the systems, but I have these 41 left and I am willing to sell them at a sub?stantially reduced price to make room for new inventory. I need to sell these systems now!HERE'S HOW YOU BENEFIT FROMMYPROBLEMIn order to create a demand for these 41 systems, I lowered the price and negotiated a plan with my financecompany to give you a financing program with a low monthly payment that would be irresistable to those whowould normally wait to install a new system. Right now, you can buy a new high efficiency air conditioner orfurnace with NO money down and as low as $24 per week!THERE IS ANOTHER REMARKABLE ADVANTAGE!If your central air system is over 8 years old, the money you can save on the utility cost could be enough tooffset monthly payments on your new system. Imagine that..."Buy a new central cooling and heating systemwithout taking any money out of your pocket!" It's like having the utility company help buy you a new airconditioner and heater.Here's the best part.IRONCLAD GUARANTEEI'm so confident that you will save at least 25% on your monthly cooling bills, (I'm projecting more like 30%to50%) that I will pay you "THE DIFFERENCE" if you don't the first year. There is no way you can lose. If thesehigh efficiency systems were not among the best on the market, I couldn't afford to make such a promise.BONUSNO REPAIRS FOR 10 YEARS!! If you act now we will include a FREE 10 Year Warranty on all of our DeluxeSystems. This excellent warranty covers all parts and labor for a full 10 years!HERE'S HOWJust call Jen at 310-275-6257 anytime and she will set up an appointment for your FREE survey.

With the March 5 primaryfast approaching, Smith is in ahard fought battle with incum-bent Carmen Trutanich andtermed-out local assemblymanMichael Feuer for the city attor-ney’s position. (The latter previ-ously ran for the same job in2001 but was defeated byRocky Delgadillo.)

“I feel that I bring rare ex-

pertise to the race after beingon the other side of the fencelitigating against the city for thepast two decades. I already per-sonally know many of thedeputies, where their weak-nesses and strengths lie, andwhat the L.A. needs to do in itscivil division.”

As for his other opponent,Smith says: “Mike Feuer has

EDITORIAL BOARD(continued from page 1)

attorney Katherine Cohan waskind enough to attend an edito-rial board session with us. Wecommend her for stepping for-ward in the election, but shewas not familiar with the is-sues, so we do not report onour interview with her.

WATER RATE INCREASES:The City Council raised waterrates about 50% over the pasttwo years. Staff reports attrib-uted the rate increases to high-er prices charged Beverly Hillsby the Metropolitan Water Dis-trict, our main supplier. How-ever, the City boosted waterrates at least 40% more thanthe price hike. What is yourview on the water rate hikes?

Willie Brien (voted "for"the rate hikes): "The communi-ty is smart and gets it," he tellsus. "I have to pay the same in-creases everyone else does."He attributes the 40% sur-charge to what he views is theCity's need to provide infra-structure and investments inthe water reservoir system. Heterms it as "an insurance poli-cy." "Nobody is happy payingfor health insurance until youneed it" and this is analogous.He observed that a majorearthquake in Northern Califor-nia occurs, we could be cut offfrom their water supply. Hesaid he formed a liaison com-mittee with Councilmember Ju-lian Gold to examine the City'sWater Enterprise Fund, in partto determine if Beverly Hillsshould build its own water pu-rification plant, conduct ourown drilling and have our ownreservoirs.

John Mirisch (voted"against" the rate hikes): Thewater rates hikes were uncon-scionable. The staff made no

case for the excessive ratehikes. The argument that theyare "pass throughs" was not thetruth. This is another exampleof treating the people like anATM machine.

Nancy Krasne: "I'm verydistressed at the surcharge andthe way it was handled. This isanother example of the peoplenot being consulted." The ratehike was presented as a pass-through of costs, when it wasnot. It is unfair to use city feesand markups just to get moremoney from the residents andbusinesses. I would like toknow how much of the exces-sive rate hike now goes to pen-sions for city employees.

Brian Rosenstein: "I don'tbelieve it's fair to the citizenswhen the City marks up cost in-creases. We may have no con-trol over what others charge us,but we do not need to make itworse by using it as an excuseto get more money." He saidthat if costs must go up, thenthey go up, but that he wouldbe much more open aboutwhat is being done with themoney. "This is part of ourproblem about transparency --we just are not. We need to be.This is not just about the mon-ey. It's also about being honestwith the people."

METRO SUBWAY TUN-NELS UNDERNEATH BEVERLYHILLS HIGH SCHOOL:

The Courier asked eachcandidate the following ques-tions: If the choice we face isbetween subway tunnels un-derneath Beverly Hills HighSchool, or no subway at all,which will you choose? If theanswer is "no subway," whatwould you do to oppose it?

Willie Brien (voted to"fast-track" permits for Metroto drill in Beverly Hills): May-or Brien refused to oppose theMetro subway if it routes un-derneath Beverly Hills HighSchool. He said he "supportsthe Santa Monica route" whichhas been conclusively rejectedby Metro. We asked pointblank what it meant when hesaid he opposes tunneling "un-der the historic core of the highschool." He said the "historiccore" was considered the olderbuildings. When asked if hewould oppose tunneling underthe entire high school, he re-sponded by saying he support-ed the Santa Monica alignmentand wants to sit down andwork this out with Metro.When the Editors pointed outthat Metro has made its finalchoice of route under BeverlyHigh, he responded that "noth-ing is off the table." He did notexplain why the City has failedto file its lawsuit yet under theNational Environmental Pro-tection Act. When questionedwhether Cedars-Sinai MedicalCenter where he is employedwill get a benefit from a stationat La Cienega and Wilshire, hesaid he did not recognize anybenefit. He was asked why herefused to require Metro tobring drilling permits to thecouncil for approval. He gaveno answer.

John Mirisch (proposedand voted to require all Metropermits to come to the Citycouncil for approval; the pro-posal failed with Brien voting"no"): Mirisch firmly opposesany subway tunnels under-neath Beverly Hills HighSchool. He supports filing suitimmediately against Metro un-

der the National EnvironmentalProtection Act. He supportsjoining the Beverly Hills Uni-fied School District in its effortsto stop the tunnels under Bev-erly High. He proposed requir-ing Metro to bring all applica-tions for drilling, excavatingand coring permits to the coun-cil so the people could beheard.

Nancy Krasne: "My an-swer is 'no subway if they tun-nel under Beverly Hills HighSchool.' I served on the Plan-ning Commission and I knowwhat they [Metro] are up to.""We need to support the schooldistrict and defend the highschool." "We should have beenshoulder-to-shoulder with themfrom the start."

Brian Rosenstein: "If theironly plan is to tunnel underBeverly High, then my positionis 'no subway.'" "Unless some-one can give me a really goodreason, I do not understandwhy we have not sued Metroby now under [the National En-vironmental Protection Act]NEPA." "I support the schoolboard in every effort."

The Courier's editorialboard is comprised of Publish-er Clif Smith, Associate Pub-lisher Marcia Hobbs, SeniorEditor John Seitz, Special Sec-tions Editor Steve Simmons,and Beverly Hills High SchoolStudent Representatives AntonSaleh and Jason Friedman.Courier staff writers LauraColeman and Matt Lopez con-tributed to this report.

Next week, we report thecandidates' answers aboutschool safety, school funding,transparency in governmentand pay and pensions.

never even set foot in a court-room. His claim that he su-pervised 1,000 lawyers andoversaw 50,000 lawsuits whileat Bet Tzedek Legal Services isludicrous, even for a profes-sional politician who wants tojump from one job to the next.”

Smith attended the Univer-sity of Colorado before earninghis J.D. at the University of LaVerne’s College of Law andmasters’ honors at the Universi-ty of Pacific’s McGeorge Schoolof Law.

A S T R O L O G Y by Holiday Mathis

Recently, professional per-forming magicians and aneclectic list of celebrity guestslaunched a year-long celebra-tion of the Magic Castle oniconic Hollywood landmark’s50th anniversary.

In November 2009, a L. A.

historic structure, once knownas the Lane mansion, celebrat-ed its centennial. On Jan. 2,1963, that same structure be-came this world renownedclubhouse for the private magi-cians club.

The Magic Castle has beenan internationally revered gath-ering place for the magic broth-erhood since opening its doors.Located in historic Hollywoodin an elegant, Victorian-eramansion, the castle is an expe-rience within itself – a remark-able meeting spot which cap-tures a lost era and is timelessin its appeal, having hostedgenerations of magic enthusi-asts from around the globe.Leading the Academy of Magi-cal Arts, housed there as presi-dent of its board of directors isEmmy-winning actor NeilPatrick Harris. The Magic Cas-tle was founded by writer, actor,

gathered to celebrate the gold-en anniversary were Tippi He-dren, Michael Learned, DawnWells, Kate Linder, Dee Wal-lace, Gabrielle Stone, Cassan-dra Peterson, Seth Green, GayBlackstone, as well as celebrat-ed Magician Siegfried Fis-chbacher, one of the Castle’searliest members, Rose Marieand the gala’s host, StevenValentine.

The Magic Castle, Inc.signed a global licensing agree-ment with Creative ArtistsAgency. “We are excited aboutthe future of The Magic Castle,”says Milt, referring to not onlythe new brand, but the releaseof his new book entitled MyMagical Journey: The First30,000 Days and the pendingproduction of a new movie,(from producer Ted Field) basedon the mysteries and mythsthat have built up about thislegend over the years.

“Magic is the world’s sec-ond profession,” says MiltLarsen. “It has been a sourceof fascination to the publicsince before the pharaohs ofEgypt, was a popular past timefor the kings and queens of Eu-rope and has been a staple inAmerican entertainment sincethe days of the vaudeville.

Joan Mangum Rabbi Jacob PressmanMAKE SOMEONE HAPPY

For some unknown reason there popped into my memory thisweek a voice I haven’t heard for 40-years: the voice of Jimmy Durante,the gravelly voiced star of stage, screen, television and radio who diedin 1980. It happened because I was planning to write an article onmaking someone happy. This triggered my memory of Durante whomI remembered singing the song: Make Someone Happy, which began:“Make someone happy, Make just one someone happy. Make just oneheart, the heart you sing to. One smile that cheers you; one face thatlights when it hears you; the one you’re everything to.

“Fame if you win it comes and goes in a minute. Where’s the realstuff in life to cling to; “ and ended: “Love is the answer. Someone tolove is the answer. Once you’ve found her, build your world aroundher.” and ends: “Make someone happy, make just one someonehappy, and you will be happy, too.”

Durante, who was the least romantic looking comic brought tearsto my eyes then when he sang it, and does even now. Romantic loveisn’t reserved for the svelte siren and the gorgeous hunk. The plainlooking, sometime ugly ordinary folk, (and that is most of us) are alsocapable of it. They say love makes the world go round. So, pleasedon’t stop lest the world does stops spinning and I would have noth-ing about which to write!

LET THERE BE MUSIC–Rotary Club of Beverly Hills held it's annualmusic competition finals at The Beverly Hills Hotel. Students from localhigh schools auditioned with three were invited by a panel of judges toperform. Kevin Kojoian of Hamilton High was chosen to represent theclub in a district contest.

of South Swall Drive to includethe west side of the block. Themodification will include a reg-ulation for “One Hour Parking,9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Mondaythrough Saturday, Permit ‘K’ Ex-empt”.

The issue came to the com-mission after a resident petitionstarted to get the parking zoneon the west side of the block.Currently, there is an existingzone on both the east side ofSwall, as well as the neighbor-ing 200 and 300 blocks ofSouth Clark Drive.

Residents sought to estab-lish no parking due to spilloverresulting from business activityon Robertson and Olympic. 21of 32 single family homes onSwall signed the petition.

Although the original re-quest of the petition was for noparking, City staff recommend-

ed a one-hour parking limit.“One hour parking may be

a good compromise,” Friedmansaid.

A few business ownerswith locations along Olympicspoke out against the parkingrestriction, saying it would hurttheir business.

“How do you deal with thebalancing issues? This is proba-bly the toughest one, I’ve beenstruggling with this for a num-ber of weeks now,” Licht said.“I think staff has come up withthe fairest and best balance.There are solutions for the busi-nesses, maybe not perfect ones,but parking on La Peer orOlympic for part of the day. It’snot what anyone wanted butnot what anyone doesn’t wanteither.”

Deputy Director of Trans-portation said the matter wouldhave to go before the CityCouncil, likely at its Feb. 19meeting, for official approval.

the authority to approve con-tract or change order increasesunder $15,000 with the caveatthat the board is subsequentlyinformed.

“It’s very easy to suddenlydrag work to a screaming haltabsent that kind of confirma-

tion,” Buresh said. “Essentiallywhat this does is give usenough of a bridge to get tothat next board meeting.”

Under state law, until theboard acts to approve the ex-penditure, a contractor cannotproceed.

“I’m not sure where thebreakdown in communicationwas,” Boardmember BrianGoldberg said.

Buresh said that the previ-ous design insufficiently im-proved the perimeter withoutputting a large fence across thefront of the school and was ask-ing the board to expend rough-ly the same amount in design

fees in anticipation of the re-bid.

In response, the boardagain directed Buresh to returnwith updated plans that did notrequire a sizeable design ex-penditure.

“The hardest thing aboutbeing an artist is getting recog-

Perez, who plans to majorin anthropology when she at-

tends college next year, saidshe won a spot for a whimsicalshort story she submitted aboutPeter Pan in Los Angeles.

“This is the next generationof artists,” YoungArts Vice Pres-ident of Artistic Programs LisaLeone told The Courier. “So tonourish them is really an amaz-ing gratifying experience. Theycome and find a home andfriends and recognition.”

Margo said he had “deep

concern” about the current jobdescription, which did not re-quire applicants to hold a gen-eral contracting license.

Korbatov said such a quali-fication was “extra and won-derful,” but should by nomeans be a “deal-breaker” thatcould shrink the candidatepool.

Therefore, it was only fittingthat this year’s “Reach for theStars” black-tie or dress-uniformgala, presented by the PalmSprings Air Museum, honored the

two brothers as part of the museum’s year-long “Heroes Among Us”programs.

One of the brothers’ greatest achievements occurred in the1980s, when they, along with Jeana Yeager, conceived and devel-oped the Voyager around-the-world project, resulting in an aircraftknown as “Voyager,” taking off from Edwards Air Force Base withDick and Yeager aboard, and remaining aloft for nine days, threeminutes and 44 seconds. It was the world’s first non-stop, un-refueledflight around the world.

In the late 90s Dick flew around the world again in a Rutan-de-signed aircraft and in 2005 he set a record for the longest distanceflown in a ground-launched, rocket-powered aircraft.

While Dick was going for horizontal distance records, Burt’s at-tention was focused on vertical distance, designing Space Ship Onethat in 2004 became the first privately funded, privately developedand privately piloted craft to make a flight into space and back.

Truly, the Rutans are remarkable aviators, and the Palm SpringsAir Museum provided the perfect backdrop for honoring their ac-complishments.

The museum contains one of the world’s largest collections offlying World War II military aircraft, with an average of 29 vintageplanes on display daily–all displayed within 70,000 square-feet of in-terior, pristine, temperature-controlled hangers.

Benefiting from the event was the museum’s children outreachprograms, raising over $100,000 from individual donors, an amountmatched by local philanthropic organization, The Berger Foundation.

The museum is located on the eastside of Palm Springs Interna-tional Airport with information at 760-778-6262.

The Courier is proud to be a Education Partner

Thanks to The Courier for its news and editorial coverage of ourCity. For those of us who don’t have the time to follow City politics ona daily basis—and who sometimes make the mistake of assuming thatour elected representatives are working for us instead of for their pri-vate goals—your coverage is invaluable.

Keep up the good work! Daniel Fink******

We are writing as involved parents and community members.This election can be a transformative one if we elect a City Councilmajority responsive to the needs of the schools and community.

The struggle against MTA has been difficult and lonely. Parentsand residents were left without the full support of the council.Jeopardizing the health and safety of our students and compromisingthe long-term sustainability of our only high school campus is not anacceptable option.

The countless hours that went into organizing a grassroots cam-paign to raise awareness about the detrimental impacts on BHHS wasignored by the current council majority.

This council majority undermined and dismissed these efforts ofparents and teachers and marginalized our legitimate concerns.

Our schools are the heart of our community. The success of ourschools are directly tied into our property values. Everyone whetherhomeowner or renter has a vested interest in protecting our one highschool. Most significantly our high school serves the needs of ourentire community in that it is our primary Disaster Recovery Center.

This election must not be about business as usual. We cannot putregional and partisan agendas above the welfare of our entire commu-nity and generations to come.

There are those who maintain, that to oppose Metro’s plans early,to condemn our only high school and tunnel under the heart of thisiconic campus would have jeopardized meaningful negotiations lateron. Nobody suggested that our elected leaders walk away from thetable, but as President Harry Truman said: “One should go to thetable, but not be out on the table.”

True leadership means the needs of your community come first.We need to elect people on March 5, who have demonstrated theircommitment to the safety and well-being of our students and entirecommunity through their actions and votes, not just empty words andcampaign slogans.

******I wish to comment on the Feb. 8 headline article entitled “City Of

Beverly Hills Short $106 Million for Pensions, Mayor Willie Brien’s“Surplus” Fake; Debt Jumps $23 Million Since 2009.”

There was a $10 million surplus at the end of fiscal 2011-2012;Beverly Hills revenues exceeded expenses by more than $10 millionduring the year. The $23 million jump in “unfunded pension obliga-tions” from 2009 through 2012 is also accurate per the City’sComprehensive Annual Finance Report (CAFR). Blending these num-bers is terribly misleading...

...[T]he City of Beverly Hills realized a $10 million surplus in2012 even as future obligations were reduced by $90 million since2009. The $23 million increase in estimates of future CalPERS pay-ments was beyond Beverly Hills’ control. The City of has done a greatfiscal job as evidenced by its ongoing Triple-A credit rating. The peo-ple deserve open, straightforward, non-political news reporting. Theydid not get it from The Courier on Feb. 8.

Eliot M. Finkel, Treasurer, City of Beverly Hills

Editor’s Note: We thank Mr. Finkel for his letter. To quote his ownreport from 2011 quoting the state’s Little Hoover Commission:“Pension costs will crush government.”

******In your Feb. 8 issue, the lead story on pensions atop the front

page were incredibly unfair. A casual reader would make the assump-tion that Willie Brien is responsible for a shortfall of $106 million inpensions and there is a clear implication the pension debt increase of$23 million since 2009 was Brien’s fault. That ignores two facts.

1. Pensions generally reflect accumulated debt over a period ofthe last 30-40 years to the present and is the responsibility of all mem-bers of the City Council, at least since the 1980s, and probably backto the 1970s when I was still on the council.

2. The increase in debt of $23 million the last four years is alsoattributable to votes by a long line of council people going back to the1970s. It can hardly be blamed on those councilmembers who servedthe last four years unless they made changes during the period whichincreased the pension burden. Fair is fair.

Richard A. Stone Former mayor, City of Beverly Hills

Editor’s Note: Hon. Richard Stone served as mayor in 1972 and1977. In 1999, the City’s pension obligations were OVERFUNDED by$56 million when the Hon. Thomas A. Levyn was mayor. The Cityboosted employee pensions in 2001 when the Hon. Mark Egermanwas mayor and we have had unfunded liabilities ever since. We notethat Mr. Egerman is a strong supporter of Mayor Willie Brien.According to Treasurer Finkel’s 2011 report (not his “letter to the edi-tor”), City payments to cover unfunded liabilities have grown about20 percent per year. They now approach $20 million a year and willsoon exceed 10 percent of the City’s annual budget. For the year2013-2014, Finkel reported the payments already consume 8.7 per-cent of the budget and growing.

To The Courier, the main issues in this elec-tion are the Metro subway tunnels under BeverlyHills High School, public employee pay andpensions, and transparency in government.

We believe the Metro subway tunnels under-neath Beverly Hills High School threaten not justthe safety of our children and teachers, but thevery existence of Beverly Hills. We asked all thecandidates: “If the choice is between a subwaywith tunnels underneath our high school, or nosubway at all, which would you choose?” MayorBrien tried to dodge the question – he told us hewanted to “negotiate” more. When we pointedout that Metro’s decision is final; that there is no“negotiation,” he refused to fully oppose the sub-way.

Mirisch, Rosenstein and Krasne all unequiv-ocally told us: “If the tunnels go under the highschool, then no subway.” They also pledged tojoin with the Beverly Hills Unified School Dis-trict to stop the tunnels. Mayor Brien has stalled,delayed and prevented effective opposition bythe City. As of press time, the City of Beverly HillsSTILL has no lawsuit against Metro under the Na-tional Environmental Protection Act to stop thetunnels. Only our school district has.

Where does Mayor Brien “stand”? Answer:Watch the video. Mayor Brien stands side-by-side with Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosato praise the subway (see The Courier’s video ofthis event). Today, when Metro wants to bore atest hole or conduct pre-construction activities,the Willie Brien-led council OK’s the “rubberstamp” for the requests. Mirisch tried to bringMetro’s permit applications to the council tomake sure our residents were not abused. May-or Brien, Brucker and Gold turned down his mo-tion. We believe that’s wrong.

As for transparency in government, Mirischin particular has been relentless in promotingpublic participation and transparency.

Krasne, when she served on the council, vot-ed “for the people” each time. She continuallyprotested the “fast track/fast vote” proceduresthat froze out the people.

Rosenstein has proven himself to be a vocalproponent of transparency as well. We know Bri-an Rosenstein well. He has satisfied us that he isextraordinarily knowledgeable, well-preparedand has the time to study issues and consult withthe people.

The three all object to the current “fast track”system headed by Mayor Brien to pass resolu-tions, make decisions and spend money. As itnow stands, the councilmembers receive a staff-prepared information packet Friday afternoonsfor the following Tuesday’s “study sessions.”Then, they vote that same night. The public isfrozen out of the process and the council itselfgets little time to study anything. When Mirischproposed changing this to allow public input andconsideration, he was voted down—the “no”vote led by Mayor Brien.

With Mirisch, Krasne and Rosenstein wehave a good idea of how they would perform inthe future. All three have actual public votingrecords—Mirisch and Krasne on the council, andKrasne and Rosenstein on the planning commis-sion. We urge our readers who intend to vote toexamine their actual records and compare themwith Willie Brien’s record.

All three agree on the need for public em-ployees to make significant contributions to theirown pensions and health care. Mayor Brien, onthe other hand, has resisted meaningful reform.

Why is it that even Los Angeles public safety em-ployees pay 10 percent and 11 percent respec-tively to their own healthcare and pensions,while Beverly Hills’ City employees pay zero?

The City’s main collective bargaining con-tract with its employees comes up in the nextcouncil term. The taxpayers need councilmem-bers on OUR side, not the side of “staff.”

With Mayor Brien, we get a promoter of“staff,” not an advocate for the people. Under hisleadership, taxpayers give and give and give—through water rate hikes, attempts to tax retroac-tively most of the physicians in town, eliminatefree parking, tax oil royalties a second time.When the people have a voice in the matter, thepeople say “no.” When it’s up to the councilonly, the Brien-led council has consistently said“yes” to new taxes.

This is the record. All these votes are in pub-lic. So, what is the comparison with “private”when it comes to pay and pensions?

Every privately-employed person pays his orher share of social security. Why should BeverlyHills government workers pay nothing? That’sright—our City employees pay ZERO towardstheir benefits.

We the taxpayers pay it all. That is not fair toour taxpayers and bodes trouble for our financialfuture. Mayor Brien has blocked meaningful con-tributions by public employees. Mirisch hastried, but he’s been outvoted by Brien, Bruckerand Gold. We believe that this will change ifMirisch and Lili Bosse are joined by NancyKrasne and Brian Rosenstein.

On issue after issue, we find ourselves inagreement with Mirisch, Rosenstein and Krasne.They not only pledge to protect the people,schools and businesses of Beverly Hills againstgovernment overreach, fiscal damage and abuseby Metro —they have voting records that proveit. Mayor Brien, despite his genteel, courteouspersonal manner and his excellent medical cre-dentials, sees Beverly Hills differently than wedo. He stresses regional interests, bigger govern-ment, bureaucratic dominance, spending moneywe don’t have on things we don’t need, unfund-ed pension liabilities, and keeping the people inthe dark.

The Beverly Hills Courier endorses JohnMirisch, Nancy Krasne and Brian Rosenstein forBeverly Hills City Council. Please vote Tuesday,March 5.
