A former Beverly Hills Unified School District superintendent was sentenced yesterday to
60 days in jail for misappropriating public funds by authorizing
payments -- including a $20,000
stipend -- to an employee without the school board’s approval.
Los Angeles Superior Court
Judge Stephen A. Marcus also ordered Jeffrey Hubbard, 55, to
pay $23,500 in restitution to the
school district as well as a
$6,000 court fine, and to complete 280 hours of community
service and serve three years on
probation.
“I do think this is an important case because the defendant
violated a position of public
trust,” Marcus said.
The judge said he was

Happy Birthday Rotary International!
Rotary International celebrated its 100th anniversary this
week. After its founding in 1912 by four businessmen,
Rotary has grown to become the world’s largest service
organization.
Today, in more than 200 countries and geographical
areas, more than 1.2 million men and women in nearly
33,000 Rotary clubs carry out the ideal of Service Above
Self. Its campaign against polio worldwide has nearly
completely eradicated this dread disease.
The Rotary Club of Beverly Hills, led by President
Brooke Knapp, has contributed over $1 million to charity and supports good works throughout our community
and the world.
The organization’s motto, “Service Above Self,” is proven
in service every day.

PUBLIC HEARING
Cartoon for The Courier by Janet Salter
NOTICE OF
PUBLIC HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Council of the City of Beverly
Hills, at its meeting to be held on Tuesday, March 6, 2012, 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:
AN AMENDMENT TO THE MASTER PLAN OF STREETS,
ALLEYS, AND HIGHWAYS AND ORDERING THE VACATION OF
AN ALLEY LOCATED BETWEEN 1111 AND 1115 COLDWATER
CANYON DRIVE PURSUANT TO SECTION 8300 ET SEQ. OF THE
STREETS AND HIGHWAYS CODE.
REGARDING FINANCING FOR THE ACQUISITION AND
CONSTRUCTION OF CERTAIN PUBLIC CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENTS
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT, at its regular meeting commencing at seven p.m. (7:00 p.m.), or as soon thereafter as the
matter can be heard, on March 6, 2012, in the City Council
Chambers of City Hall, City of Beverly Hills, 455 North Rexford
Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, the City Council of the City of
Beverly Hills (the “City”) will hold a public hearing at which it will
hear and consider information concerning the approval by the City of
(i) a lease financing by the City and the City of Beverly Hills Public
Financing Authority (the “Financing Authority”) for certain public
capital improvements to be used by or on behalf of the City and the
significant public benefit of such financing by the Financing
Authority in accordance with the criteria specified in Section 6586 of
the California Government Code and (ii) the adoption of a resolution
by the City Council of the City approving the execution and delivery
of two leases to be entered into with the Financing Authority in connection with such lease financing.
The proposed lease financing will provide funds for the acquisition
and installation of pay-by-foot automated machines to be installed in
parking garages owned by the Parking Authority of the City of
Beverly Hills (the “Parking Authority”), and the repair to and rehabilitation of such parking garages, including the re-concreting of the
floors and the replacement and repair of the roofs. Additionally, the
proposed lease financing will provide financing for the Alternative
Retiree Medical Program (“ARMP”), and may also be used to
finance other capital expenditures approved by the City Council if
proceeds of the lease financing remain available after all expenditures for the Parking Authority and the ARMP have been made. In
connection with the lease financing, the City will lease certain real
property to the Financing Authority, and the Financing Authority will
lease such property back to the City.
Those wishing to comment on the proposed lease financing may
either appear in person at the public hearing or submit written comments which must be received by the City Council prior to the public
hearing. Written comments should be sent to the City Clerk, City of
Beverly Hills, 455 North Rexford Drive, Room 290, Beverly Hills, CA
90210.
Alley Proposed
to be Vacated
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, and the project qualifies for a categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15301(c) (Class 1) of the Guidelines.
Specifically, the proposed project would result in minor changes to
the City’s existing circulation system by vacating a small segment of
existing alley. The vacation will not impact circulation patterns and
will not cause any expansion of the existing system.
At the public hearing, the City Council will hear and consider all
comments. All interested persons are invited to attend and speak on
this matter. Written comments may also be submitted and should be
addressed to the City Council, c/o City Clerk, 455 N. Rexford Drive,
Beverly Hills, CA 90210. The comments should be received prior to
the hearing date.
Please note that if you challenge the Council’s action in regards to
this matter 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, Associate Planner in the Beverly Hills Community
Development Department at 310.285.1194 or [email protected].
A copy of the categorical exemption and proposed plans are on file
in the Community Development Department and can be reviewed by
any interested person at 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills,
California 90210.

ho are the mobsters
we meet at the Mob Museum?
• Alphonsus Gabriel “Al”
Capone, a.k.a Scarface. Born
into poverty, he became the
most famous monster of all.
“You can get much farther with
a kind word and a gun than you
can with a kind word alone.”
Died at age 48.
• Lucky Luciano. Born in Sicily
and considered the father of
organized crime. With the help
of Meyer Lansky and Bugsy
Siegel he created the National
Crime
Syndicate,
which
became so powerful that the
U.S. Government asked for its
help during World War II. His
philosophy: “There’s no such
thing as good money or bad
money. There’s just money.”
Died at age 64.
• Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel.
Brooklyn-born, looked upon as
an extravagant visionary. He
oversaw the construction and
operation of the Flamingo
Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
The opening flopped, money
went missing. “We only kill
each other.” Died at age 41.
• Meyer Lansky, a.k.a The
Mob’s Accountant. Born in
Russia.
His mathematical
smarts led to developing gambling operations in New
Orleans, Florida, Cuba and Las
Vegas.
Created an empire
worth $300 million. “We’re
bigger than U.S. Steel.” Died at
age 80.
• Sam Giancana, a.k.a. Momo.
Chicago-born, among the
most violent criminals.
Historians believe his
stuffing of the ballot
boxes led to John. F.
Kennedy’s presidential
election
in
1960.
Enjoyed a longtime livein affair with singer
Phyllis McGuire of the
McGuire Sisters trio. “I
own Chicago. I own

Oscars To Air This Sunday
Sunday’s 84th Academy
Awards ceremony will be held
at the Hollywood & Highland
Center.
Where the Oscars will be
held next year is still a mystery.
Though based in Beverly Hills,
the Academy’s annual gala is
never held in the City.
The Academy opted in December not to renew its agreement to hold the show at the
center. The Academy could,
however, strike a new deal with
CIM Group to remain at the location, or it could try to negotiate with another venue, such as
the Nokia Theatre downtown.
After the Kodak Company
filed for bankruptcy, it asked to
have it’s name stripped from the
theater.
Nominated for best film
this year are: Steven Spielberg’s
War Horse, Alexander Payne’s
The Descendants, Terrence
Malick’s The Tree of Life,
Woody Allen’s Midnight in
Paris,” the civil-rights drama
The Help, the post-9/11 family
drama Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, and Moneyball,
about the successful effort of
Oakland A’s manager Billy
Beane to put together a team
with the help of computer-generated analysis.
The Artist would be the first
silent film to win best picture in
more than 80 years since the
Academy named Wings, a story
of World War I fighter pilots, its
first best picture in 1927.

“floored” by a series of “salacious” emails that suggest that
Hubbard had a “very, very special relationship” with Karen
Anne Christiansen, who received
the $20,000 stipend and a $500
monthly car allowance in what
Marcus called a “sweetheart
deal” that didn’t have “a chance
in hell” of being approved.
Hubbard was convicted Jan.
23 of two counts of misappropriation of public funds involving
the money given to Christiansen,
but acquitted of a third misappropriation count related to another employee.
The judge ordered Hubbard
to be taken into custody immediately after imposing the sentence, while noting earlier that
he would not be shocked if the
former superintendent was
quickly released from jail.

After being asked if he
wanted to give something to
his wife before he was taken
into custody, Hubbard responded that he wanted to give
her “lots of love.”
Hubbard had faced a maximum of five years behind
bars, but Deputy District Atty.
Max Huntsman asked the
judge to impose a county jail
term rather than state prison. In
court papers, he cited the
“amount of loss” and Hubbard’s lack of prior criminal
record.
“I do believe what he did
was grossly inappropriate,” the
prosecutor told the judge.
Defense attorney Salvatore
P. Ciulla maintained that his
client had “no financial gain”
as a result of the money that
was given to Christiansen, urging the judge to consider the
“gigantic” consequences his
client has faced as a result of
his conviction.
“It has ruined him financially,” said Hubbard’s attorney, who called his client “a
good man.”
Hubbard was fired from
his job as superintendent of the
Newport Mesa Unified School
District one day after he was
convicted of illegally authorizing two payments of $10,000
each and a $500 monthly car
allowance to Christiansen, a
former Beverly Hills Unified
facilities director.
Christiansen’s contract had
specified a $150 monthly car
allowance and provided for all
contract changes to be made in
writing.
Hubbard’s attorney said
the defense intends to appeal.
“I don’t think the jury got it
right,” Ciulla told reporters outside court.
Board President Brian
Goldberg said he hoped Hubbard’s sentence would send a
message to public employees
around the state that breaking
the public trust can and will
have consequences.
“While I get no gratification in seeing someone else
suffer, I am pleased that Hubbard will never be able to harm
another public school district
in California, and the parade of
lemons that he was a part of
now ends for him; unfortunately others who participated and
benefited from his malfeasance
still have positions in other districts,” Goldberg said.
Christiansen, who was
tried separately last year, was
convicted of four counts of
conflict of interest for negotiating contracts between the
school district and a firm with
which her company had a consulting agreement, and for
backing a school bond measure that benefited her firm.
She was sentenced Jan. 5
to four years and four months
in state prison, but was allowed to remain free on
$400,000 bail while her appeal is pending.

100 ANNIVERSARY
Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York
City.
“It’s fun,” Rosenzweig told The
Courier. “I think they raise the flag to the
City in both a domestic and international way. We know the viewership of those
events is huge.”
He told the council, “If we ever
were going to have [a float], this would
be the time to do it.”
Beverly Hills will be celebrating its
centennial on Jan. 28, 2014. The celebration will begin mid-2013 and extend
throughout 2014.
The 100th Anniversary Committee
has begun initial brainstorming of possible activities to take place during the
celebration. These possible events include a television documentary to be
sold to the History Channel or Bravo, a
Rose Parade float, a Macy’s Thanksgiving
Day Parade Float, special magazine sections in popular magazines including
Vanity Fair or Travel & Leisure, a Centennial Ball, commemorative merchandise
and even the dedication of a small pocket park as Centennial Park. The events
are still in the early planning stages and
nothing has been solidified.
“(It’s) a testimonial to the strength of
the City and what the City has managed
to do over its 100 year history,” Rosenzweig said. “It is a flag waving event for
our City, good for the City, good for the
City’s treasury, feel good for our residents and all in all it works for us on
many levels. “
Rosenzweig said although the City
will be providing the 100th Anniversary
Committee $250,000 per year for the
next three years, it will also need to raise
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
All residents of Beverly Hills, past
and present, will be welcome to participate. There will be a form on the website
for people who are interested to fill out
and get involved. Rosenzweig said he
envisioned at least two committees, a
work committee and an honorary committee. Interested residents should visit
www.beverlyhills.org.
Rosenzweig recently stepped down
as the executive VP of Playboy Enterprises where he was responsible for all nonmagazine related activities of the company which recently went private. He
also headed its movie production company and has served on many Beverly
Hills civic boards and organizations.

LETTER FROM THE FASHION DIRECTOR
T
here's one word that captures the essence of February in Los Angeles; and that's GLAMOROUS. With the buzz
of award season in full swing, the stores are chock-full of curve-hugging, shimmering, graceful creations reminiscent
of the truly glamorous days of old Hollywood. We're seeing designers like Armani, Chuiri and Piccioli of Valentino,
and Donetella Versace cast their magic and bring updated interpretations of golden era designs worn by such iconic
beauties a Elizabeth Taylor, Rita Hayworth and Judy Garland. A true celebration of the feminine body, and empowerment of the woman within.
Judy Garland will always be known to the world for her contralto voice and award winning acting, but only her
inner circle of friends enjoyed her creative talents as a writer and poet. The poem “My Love Is Lost” is one of the
many treasures she bestowed to upon her friends in a small book she wrote and featured on this month’s cover.
In keeping with our glamorous theme, we take a look at some trend-setting, nostalgic silhou-
ettes, featuring an abundance of pleats and drapes in fabrics that say “touch me.” Dare to be
more creative with your accessories. Try wearing a bracelet or brooch in your hair, let the top
of your silk stocking show and by all means, wear those sexy stilettos.
This season is all about embracing various sides of your personality and no collection exemplifies that spirit better than Lanvin. Once again, Alber Elbaz has given us earthly goddesses the
styles we've been looking for. So go ahead
and dare to be adventurous.

veteran restaurateur Sean MacPherson
believed so when he bought and restored a
1920's Mediterranean former four-plex apartment on 3rd Street, then slowly and lovingly
reinterpreted the building to create an inviting, intimate Southern Italian home and garden. That is il Covo. MacPherson sees the
restaurant as an extension of his own abode

this true labor of love is enjoying a bustling

myriad of vintage treasures. “We put a lot of
work in creating every new detail of this
space,” states MacPherson, “but the concept
for il Covo has always been to produce a
restaurant that would be perceived as a place
that has been around for decades.”
“If the devil is in the details” - then perhaps
it's not surprising to learn that il Covo translated means “den of thieves.” The dark
mahogany wainscoted walls were finished and
refinished repeatedly to achieve the perfect
lived-in patina. The coffered wood ceiling

As you'd expect, the cuisine at il Covo is
superb. Milanese-born Chef Roberto
Maggioni has executed a menu that offers
delicious dishes, all prepared with exceptional
ingredients and designed to satisfy the
straightforward lunchtime diner or inspire a
slow, languid dinner. Night owls can also
enjoy a bevy of supper items.
MacPherson and his partners have earned a
reputation for creating many of the city’s
most influential hotspots, all renowned for
their unique style, quality and probably most
impressively - longevity. His portfolio features a long hit parade of successful eateries,
including Olive, the legendary 90's hotspot
on Fairfax; Swingers Diner, Jones, Good Luck
Bar, El Carmen, Swingers Santa Monica, Bar
Lubitsch, and The Roger Room. Enjoying bicoastal success, he also operates several
restaurants, hotels and bars in New York and
Montauk, equally reputed for their excellence
and creative flair.
Perhaps his magic formula “is” in the details.
MacPherson doesn't hire designers.
Preferring instead to dedicate his time and
talented eye to personally oversee the construction and design himself, and thus creating surroundings known for their combination of delightful style and comfort supreme.

His highly acclaimed "Angels in Hell" collection is
made up of opposing elements; that in the hands
of this genius and powerhouse of talent, work
incredibly well. Elbaz has combined hard and soft
textiles, joining sleek, minimalist silhouettes and
metal and leather accents with soft, flowing fabrics
to create a look that, according to Fashion Etc.,
can be described as “angelically elegant and
demonically chic.” This exciting detour from the
normally well-behaved, perfectly polished aesthetic
enjoyed in Lanvin’s past collections, shakes things
up rather nicely, giving us more than a hint of dark

attitude, gads of architectural tailoring, sublime detailing, and a good measure of plain

collection that give the pieces a raw energy

pencil skirts are rucked up and peek-a-boo

If you let your mind indulge itself you can
recognize Alber's inspirations as they take on

by assisting Geoffrey Beene. “He was amazing”, says Albers of his mentor. “When he
died, people asked, “Did he leave you anything?" I said, “He didn’t leave me any
money, but he left me my profession. He
taught me my work. Everything I know comes
from him.” Alber’s genuine adoration of
women and classical sensibilities also come
heavily into play in his creative process. “I
love and respect women” he told our fashion
director, Tawny Sanders during his recent trip
to Beverly Hills.
“I work mostly with women and you know,
our logo for Lanvin is a mother and a daughter. I’ve always said, ‘It’s not a lion, and it’s
not a horse. It’s a mother and a daughter.’ I
find the logo very emotional. For me, almost
everything we do has to be like a dress that
your mother wore and that you are going to
wear. This is how we bring the emotion into
it.” In keeping with Lanvin’s mother/daughter designs, Alber has created his first line of
children's clothing for his “Petite Fille”
clients which are now available in the
Beverly Hills and Malibu boutiques.

ment Projects.
Bosse and Mirisch caught
the matter, listed as a “consent
calendar” item (meaning no
discussion and no separate
vote).
Bosse objected to the city
manager’s ability to spend that
much taxpayer money without
the express consent of the
council.
Mirisch
questioned
whether City staff negotiated
every project under the larger
contract to ensure the City is
consistently getting the best
value. Maloyan said it does.
After some changes to take
into account these objections,
the council approved the engineering agreement, not to exceed $750,000 over the next
three years.

City staff must return to the
council each year and report
whether the City is still getting
the best rate or if they can find
a different engineering firm
with better prices. In other
words, the agreement becomes
year-to-year.
Bosse amended the consent calendar item to limit the
spending of the city manager to
a $50,000 maximum per project before needing further City
council approval.
Maloyan said the three-year
contract was for “efficiency of
staff” even though the City
adopts a budget one year at a
time.
He said that any time the
council asks for a study to be
conducted, such as when the
council asked staff to look into
bollards when examining if
stoplights needed to be put at
the intersections of Sunset
Boulevard at North Camden
and Bedford and Roxbury Drive, staff can engage one of the
pre-approved consultants.
If City staff did not have this
option available, Maloyan alleged it could take three to four
months to get council’s approval to find a firm to conduct
the studies.
The Engineering Division of
the Public Works and Transportation Department uses consultants like Psomas for professional design services. This
agreement enables staff to initiate projects with Psomas
through Dec. 31, 2015.

Have you ever felt honored
to be among certain people? No,
not celebrities, but people who in
real life made positive, significant
and lasting differences to our
lives.
Such was the feeling experienced by others and me recently
as the Palm Springs Air Museum
held its major fundraising gala
honoring the Tuskegee Airmen …
the all African-American Army
Air Corps unit who saw heavy
action in the skies above Europe
during WWII. They are also the
men portrayed in Red Tails, the
recently released George Lucas
movie.
Named after the Alabama
town where they trained, the
Tuskegee Airmen were a product
of the racial segregation that pervasive at the time. Yet these loyal
men did not desert and deemed it
their mission to serve their country, as it was for the other men of
their generation who took up
arms.
The ranks of the Tuskegee
Airmen have shrunk over the
years, but 10 of these, heroic
individuals were on hand for the
museum’s “Hollywood in the
Skies”gala, which was really
about their courage in the skies
… and on the ground.
In addition, the museum renovated a vintage P-51 Mustang
fighter plane, complete with red
tail and nose art, for the occasion. It was a replica of the actual plane flown by Lt. Col. Bob
Friend and during the pre-dinner
cocktail hour, each airman, felttipped pen in hand, autographed
the aircraft’s tail.
Information about the museum is at 760-778-6262.

NOTICE
TO
POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If
you are considering bidding on this property lien,
you should understand
that there are risks
involved in bidding at a
trustee auction. You will be
bidding on a lien, not on
the property itself. Placing
the highest bid at a trustee
auction does not automatically entitle you to free
and clear ownership of the
property. You should also
be aware that the lien
being auctioned off may
be a junior lien. If you are
the highest bidder at the
auction, you are or may be
responsible for paying off
all liens senior to the lien
being auctioned off, before
you can receive clear title
to the property. You are
encouraged to investigate
the existence, priority, and
size of outstanding liens
that may exist on this
property by contacting the
county recorder’s office or
a title insurance company,
either of which may
charge you a fee for this
information. If you consult
either of these resources,
you should be aware that
the same lender may hold
more than one mortgage
or deed of trust on the
property. NOTICE TO
PROPERTY
OWNER:
The sale date shown on
this notice of sale may be
postponed one or more
times by the mortgagee,
beneficiary, trustee, or a
court, pursuant to Section
2924g of the California
Civil Code. The law
requires that information
about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those
not present at the sale. If
you wish to learn whether
your sale date has been
postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time
and date for the sale of
this property, you may call
714-573-1965 or visit this
Internet
Web
site
"http://www.priorityposting.com" www.priorityposting.com, using the file
number assigned to this
case
2011-CA006158.
Information about postponements that are very
short in duration or that
occur close in time to the
scheduled sale may not
immediately be reflected
in the telephone information or on the Internet Web
site. The best way to verify
postponement information
is to attend the scheduled
sale. If the 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 successful
bidder(s) will have no further recourse. If the sale is
set aside for any reason,
the Purchaser at the sale
shall be entitled only to a
return of the deposit paid.
The Purchaser shall have
no
further
recourse
against the Mortgagor, the
Mortgagee,
or

Mortgagee's
Attorney.

From the Publisher
CLIF SMITH
SPIN, SPIN, SPIN: WHY WON’T THEY READ
President Barack Obama just proposed a massive new tax hike on American businesses – $250 billion over 10 years. That’s a huge hike. How did the “mainstream media” report it? As a tax “reduction!”
The news pages of The New York Times, Los Angeles Times and even The Wall Street Journal hyped
the “rate reduction” rather than netting that against the other provisions. Yes, apparently the President
calls for a small reduction of the tax rate for certain corporations – from 35 to 28 percent – but the rest
of the proposal raises taxes relentlessly. OK. President Obama likes to raise taxes. He wants to hit
everyone in this country who earns money. But his proposal simply did not reduce corporate taxes.
His “fine print” boosts dividend taxation to over 44 percent because of what would become “triple taxation” (the company pays overseas taxes on income, the company pays U.S. taxes on income, and the
dividend recipient pays taxes on the dividends.) U.S. companies which operate overseas and pay taxes
over there, would now get taxed on the taxes they paid “over there.” For every provision the Congress
has written to try to encourage US business, the mainstream media call that a “loophole” or “tax break.”
In fairness, a lot of this does comprise “inside deals” crafted by lobbyists.
But with this particular tax proposal, the net result is a huge increase in taxes. That is the message,
but it is not.
Is the problem that news reporters of the mainstream media cannot read? Or won’t they?
The Wall Street Journal case is particularly interesting. One would think the leading newspaper of
American business would have reporters who read the fine print before going to print. The WSJ’s editorial page writers did that – they read the whole proposal. The whole proposal raises taxes – massively. The front page reporter missed that.
So, is “journalism” a “profession” peopled with people who read the whole story, or just
“reporters” to parrot the spin from the PR guy (or gal) reading the press release?
We believe that most reporters are open or closet leftists whose personal leanings tilt nearly over
backwards to socialism. It’s just the way they are, even those few who vote Republican. It’s the norm.
The Courier could write a ridiculously left-leaning article and never get criticized, but let us print something “in the middle” – or better yet, one where we’ve done our homework – and we’re engaging in
“yellow journalism.” Public officials, big companies and big unions pay big to spin their messages. They
generally don’t like us because we try very hard not to accept the “spin” but rather to research the factual basis of what we’re told. We just don’t take their word for it.
The Courier tries to read the whole story and we anger those who try to get us to buy their story
line.
Right now, of course, our favorite topic is the MTA tunnel under Beverly Hills High School because
it truly threatens the future of this City. The MTA gets apoplectic when we connect the dots. Supervisor
Zev Yaroslavsky singles us out for public criticism. We knew its “seismic study” was “faulty” (excuse
the pun) because we read its methodology and asked questions. We looked beyond their conclusions
to see how they reached those conclusions. We consulted experts in the field who confirmed what we
suspected: the MTA seismic study was not professionally defensible. It was haphazard, incomplete and
failed to employ the best techniques to get the best data. With this kind of testing, there are many levels of inquiry. MTA used the least reliable. The Beverly Hills Unified School District, on the other hand,
is employing about the toughest level of inquiry – expensive trenching.
MTA should have done this, but then that would lead to the result the MTA did not want. Now, the
City of Beverly Hills’ experts have gone over MTA’s work and found it lacking.
So how should The Courier report this? Should we report what MTA tells us or should we look
behind what they did and assess the accuracy and completeness of their findings (which is what we
did)? The Courier always tries to look behind what anyone tells us. That angers some local politicos who
now use every opportunity to trash us, but that’s okay. We’re still telling the truth and when it comes to
readership, we’re far ahead and pulling away.
The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and The Wall Street Journal front pages should have read
the President’s entire proposal. They should have connected the dots. They should have done their
homework and not just relied on the White House spin. This goes for all presidents regardless of party
and for all public officials’ pronouncements. It is what newspapers are supposed to do but seldom do
any more. After all, how many tax lawyers are reporters these days?
But if they’re not, or won’t talk to some, they should not accept spin from anyone. We don’t.
LETTERS
Well here we go again, the
new interest of Brucker’s and
Brien’s (where is Gold?) is the
Greystone mansion. They want to
overload our private streets with
more people, raise the noise
level, increase the number of
tourist buses, as if we don’t have
enough during the day, enhance
the notoriety of the City thereby
increase crime and discomfort
for the residents.
The question is why? Haven’t
they learned enough from the failures at Roxbury Park? What is disturbing is that in both of these scenarios, the trio wants catering
services. Is there is a “caterer
issue” that someone in this
City/Council has something to
gain by it?
We will soon have a theater
in Santa Monica, this should be
enough for our City, or have we
become mama’s boys and need to
be spoon fed in all aspects of life?
The bathrooms in La
Cienega Park, Beverly Hills High
School and Roxbury Park are disgusting. These places need repair,
improvement and security cameras. Streets that not need paving,
get paving, streets like Santa
Monica that are in need of prompt
repair are ignored.
Instead the triumvirate is
looking for massive constructions.
Do we really need another exercise facility or place to eat or
some misguided people are giving them another mission?
There are so many more
urgent needs in the City; for one,
BHFD lacks the equipment or
means to come to our aid in a
large earthquake. Brucker knows
this well. There is no enforcement
of noise as the officers are too
busy.
Issues such as segways on our
sidewalks which are potentially
dangerous was tabled last summer
as a non important issue. We
must wait until someone gets
trampled by one of them. Cyclists
in the triangle are another serious
problem as well as dogs without a
leash or for that matter, dogs in
restaurants. All of these issues are
against the law. Remember.. recall
is an option. Pablo Nankin, MD

I am so pleased the gateway
at Santa Monica Boulevard and
Doheny Drive has been acquired
and will be finally made an
attractive gateway to the City
after years of being a fenced-off
mess.
I am a little disappointed we
are considering constructing
walls and two 22-foot towers
however to mark the entrance.
I’m not even convinced an architectural element is really warranted: trees, landscaping and
the iconic shield sign would in
my opinion not only harmonize
better with the residential character of our side of that intersection but would be far more elegant, serene and representative
of us as “Tree City USA.”
I heard at the study session
our City Council mentioning
Mies van der Rohe’s famous
quote “less is more.” I would
also add Louis Sullivan’s adage
“form follows function.”
Walls and towers don’t say
“welcome,” they say who goes
“there?” But sincere thanks to
staff and the council for moving
forward on upgrading this neglected entrance to the City.

MAY I HAVE A WORD WITH YOU?
Let us take a breather from the wretched news of the day and
think about some of the words we use daily. The fancy name for
such study is called Etymology.
May we start with “hello?” What are we saying when we say
“hello?” My big dictionary doesn’t really know. Let’s call it our
common salutation or greeting. Most languages use something
clearer. In England some say “good day”and pronounce it “goodbye.” The French say: “bon jour” (Good day). Italians say “buon
giorno” and “buona sera.” Spaniards say “buenos dias;” Germans
say “guten morgen” and “guten abend,” etc. We say “hello,” as well
as “good morning,” “good afternoon,” “good evening” and “good
night.” But what is hello? One of my largest dictionaries at least
declares it doesn’t know, stating: “Etymology doubtful.” My amateur etymology guesses that it is somehow connected with “Hail”
or “Heil” wishing the next person good health.
We find that connotation in our casual: “how are you?”
which we contract to “hi_y’all, or just plain “hi!” The polite salutation: how do you do?” Raises some interesting questions, such as:
“How do you do what?” This question is often contracted to
“howdy.”
When we separate, most say “good-by” or “goodbye,” which
is short for “God be with you;” and which we further shorten to
“bye now” or “bye bye,” or even just plain “bye.” Sometimes we
say “so long,” which can either mean: “It has been so long since we
visited” or “Let it not be…” Incidentally, in Italian it is expressed by
“ciao,” pronounced “chow.” Another “good-bye” we often use is
“farewell,” a somewhat archaic use of the word “Fare” for “get
along,” or “have food and drink.”
And then, or course, there is the Hebrew word “shalom,”
which means “peace, hello and goodbye” of which the song suggests “Say hello with a little goodbye in it.
All the above, in which I actually barely touch on the subject
of vocabulary, is only the tip of the iceberg of the idiomatic usages
of the English language. I recommend you take some quiet time to
explore the origins and multiple uses of words that interest you, for
after all, words are what distinguish us from everything else in creation.
Astrology
By Holiday Mathis
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 24). Your flexible attitude helps you move.
Loved ones wine and dine you in the weeks to come, and you deserve
the extra attention. You’ll sign important documents in March. In June, a
fellow adventurer encourages you to move forward into unexplored territory. You’ll make money using new skills. Cancer and Capricorn people adore you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). You have much to give, and there’s a demanding task on the table just waiting for someone to take charge. Self-confidence and dedication will be required, and you have plenty of both.
ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). Avoid the person who insists on helping you
regardless of whether you need or want them to. Notice how this overly helpful energy feels repellent, and heed the warning in that feeling.
TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). You know what you know, and you’re not so
worried about the rest because you also know where you can find out
more if you need to. You show your true intelligence through what you
choose to share (and leave out).
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s better to be real about who you are and
what you can do (and want to do!) than to try for sainthood. A fallen halo
becomes a leash. Avoid over-promising. Don’t give anyone a reason to
have one up on you.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You please people every day, but you’re not
a “people pleaser” who sacrifices his or her own joy to satisfy others. It
just so happens that when you make yourself happy, others smile, too.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). “There is no terror in a bang,” said the suspense
filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock, “only in the anticipation of it.” May these
wise words from a fellow Leo help you stop fretting and move forward.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Instead of laboring over a decision, you
weigh the pros and cons in an instant. You trust your subconscious mind
to pick up the details that you miss with your conscious mind and give
each item the proper credence.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Avoid asking, “Do you know what I mean?”
It’s important that you sound incredibly self-assured. The words you
choose send a signal to others about what you’re trying to say and how
seriously to consider your message.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You eventually will outgrow these conditions that right now feel so much like who you are. Disassociate yourself
from what is happening for a moment, and acknowledge that you’re bigger than this circumstance.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). One way you can tell you are fully
engaged in life is when you move, the world naturally adjusts and reacts,
making way for you. Notice your special power today and enjoy it.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Take pause from striving. You don’t have
to achieve or succeed at anything to be secure in the universe. You
always have a place. Whether feeling it at the moment or not, you fit.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s absurd to avoid reading a story
because you’re afraid how it ends. Equally absurd is not to start a relationship because not knowing how it will end. Go forward in good faith.
