BHUSD Preps Community For Worst
By Laura Coleman
For the past few weeks,
BHUSD Superintendent Gary
Woods has been sharing a “Potential Budget Reduction Plan”
with leadership groups across
the district that reflect $6.25 million in possible education cuts.
The “horrific” draft plan, as
Woods characterized the threetier list of programs and staff that
could get cut if Proposition 30
doesn’t pass in November, reflects a 2012/13 district budget
of $48 million, as mandated by
(see ‘BHUSD’ page 14)
In 2011, Councilwoman Lili
Bosse won election to the Beverly Hills City Council in a landslide. Now that she’s halfway
through her second year, The
Courier sat down with her to discuss exlusively her experience
on the Council so far.
Beverly Hills Courier: How
has your time on the City Council gone so far?
Lili Bosse: I love serving on
the council but we had a number
of divisive issues such as Roxbury Park, MTA and the budget.
Especially when I first came on
the council, I felt my own sense
of personal stress. I felt I had a responsibility to the people who
voted for me that I would be the
council member they believed in.
BHC: The Roxbury Park
Community Center was one of
the first issues you faced after
being elected to council. What

Architectural Liaisons Choose Gidas
Peteris To Join Architectural Commission
Updated from bhcourier.com
By Matt Lopez
Local architect Gidas Peteris is close to replacing Walter B. Meyer on the Architectural Commission, pending a final
official decision by the City
Council.
Peteris moved closer to appointment to the commission at
last Thursday’s City Council
study session when the Architectural Commission Liaisons
Gidas Peteris
(Mayor Willie Brien and Councilwoman Lili Bosse) presented
the council with Peteris as their
favored choice to replace Meyer, whose term ended last
month.
Peteris has done the majority of his architectural work in
West L.A., but also in Beverly
Hills, most recently helping
landscape designer Jim Ply design the City’s 9/11 memorial.

Police are still searching for a suspect
in a string of “smash and grab” burglaries
that took place early Sunday morning in

By Laura Coleman
Beverly Hills will soon
boast it’s own Nespresso store
at 320 N. Beverly Dr., according to BRC Advisors managing
partner Houman Mahboubi,
who partnered with CB

The Nestlé company specialty store will take over the
7,800-square-foot

“It’s an anchor for any
street,”Mahboubi said.
According to Jim Goring of

Perry Opposes Utility Rate Hike
By Courier Staff
Los Angeles City Councilwoman Jan Perry voted against
a proposed 11.1 percent rate
hike for that city’s Department
of Water and Power customers
on Wednesday. In opposing the
rate hike, she broke with other
members of her city council.
“For far too long the DWP
has held rate payers hostage,
hiding its operating costs and
not being honest with the
council,” she said.
Perry cited a recent state of

Report showing labor costs at
the DWP are 26 percent higher

“These pay disparities illustrate that the DWP is simply not

FOOTBALL GAME
(continued from page 1)
Friday night at Titan Stadium in San
Marino.
Ryan Wood led a dominant San
Marino ground attack which tallied 317
total rushing yards.
With the victory, the Titans were
presented “The Courier/Tribune Perpetual Trophy” by The Courier and Tribune’s Publisher Clif Smith. The trophy
was presented in honor of Donald and
Suzanne Crowell. The late Mr. Crowell
was a 1952 BHHS graduate and is in the
school’s hall of fame. Mrs. Crowell
served on San Marino’s City Council
from 1990-1992.
SCHOOL DISTRICTS
not only spark an on-field rivarly between the two teams, but perhaps forge
a closer bond between the two school
districts.
A link is already there, with
BHUSD Superintendent Gary Woods
having previously held the same post in
San Marino, but dignitaries from the
two school districts were able to come
together and “talk shop” on the sidelines during Friday’s contest.
Among the dignitaries making the
trip for Beverly Hills Unified School
District were Woods, whose son Ole is
a star linebacker on the team, along
with BHUSD Board of Education President Brian Goldberg, boardmember
Noah Margo, Beverly Hills High principal Carter Paysinger, Beverly Vista Principal Marty Powers and Horace Mann
principal Steve Kessler.
They were warmly greeted by San
Marino’s VIP’s that included SMUSD
Superintendent Loren Kleinrock, Assistant Superintendent Gary McGuigan
Wood himself gained 180 yards and
two rushing touchdowns on just 19 carries. He helped San Marino jump on
Beverly Hills early, taking a 31-0 lead
into a halftime.
On offense, Beverly Hills was able
to make a few plays, but struggled to
consistently get anything going. The
Normans totaled just 122 yards of total
offense.
One of the few highlights for Beverly Hills came when defensive back Jeremiah Williams intercepted a pass in the

“It was a great start to what I hope
will be an annual event for many years
to come,” Goldberg told The Courier. “I
look forward to returning the hospitality
afforded our students, staff, parents and
supporters by the San Marino community.”
School district members weren’t the
only dignitaries on hand at San Marino
Friday. With the game trophy being given in honor of Donald Crowell and
Suzanne Crowell, the Crowell’s grandson Kristofer was on hand for the opening pregame coin toss before kickoff.
Beverly Hills supporters who made
the trip received a free voucher for one

“It’s always a positive when two
outstanding school districts come together to celebrate student excellence,”
Woods told The Courier.

was that like for you?
LB: Roxbury was hell. That
experience was absolutely living in hell. The numbers [from
city staff] kept changing, the
documents kept changing, the
size of the building, the height,
the uses; they all kept changing. The biggest part of the hell
experience was that this community loud and clear had said
they did not want an enormous
center with a basketball court
and two story facilities with
more intensification of use and
that was the direction the
council had voted go to.
Part of why I think people
supported me when I ran for office was because they had the
opportunity to see how I was
on the Planning Commission.
When I was on the Planning
Commission, I was very factbased and did my homework. It
was really important that when
I would come to a decision, I
would be able to point to how
I got there. When we were
dealing with Roxbury Park, I
wanted every single document
from the moment they started
the survey [in 2006]. I would
look at each document and see
that in one piece of paper, the
size of the multi-purpose room
would be one figure and then
in another that was generated
by the same department, the
figure would be different.
For the first few months of
being on council, I spent nearly every hour of my day going
through the inaccurate numbers and documents and
showed my fellow council
members, the staff and the
community that we were moving in the wrong direction.
I think the biggest betrayal… was when the conversation first started about the Roxbury Park Community Center,
[the community was told] the
difference between building a
new facility and renovating the
facility would be $1 million. It
wasn’t until I looked at the document really closely I saw that
in order to come up with that
figure, they added a $4.675
million multi purpose room in
the total [an 11,000 square foot
room at $425 a square foot],
which was misleading and dishonest.
BHC: Can you give me another example of when City
staff was dishonest?
LB: Another example
where I feel that our staff misled the community and misled
me is the water rate hike. That’s
an issue I wish we could bring
back to the council and back to
the community. My vote was
based on the fact that in our
staff report, as well as at the
meeting when I asked if the
homeowners groups were in
support of it, we were told they
were. Even in my comments I

said that I was supporting the
water rate increase because the
homeowners groups supported
it. Since that issue came to light
and we found out that is not accurate, I would like to see the
issue get brought back to council so we can have an open dialogue with the homeowners
group and the community.
BHC: You read The Courier’s article about the water
rate hike and the City staff’s
false report about the homeowners associations’ points of
view. Do you think The Courier got it right?
LB: Absolutely. No question. I read the staff report and
in my comments when I made
my vote, I said the reason I was
supporting the water rate increase was because the homeowners groups were in support
of it. Had I not been led to believe that the homeowner
groups were in support of it, I
would not have supported the
increase. The Courier absolutely got the issue correct. If anyone were to watch the meeting,
they would see that I discuss
the fact the homeowner groups
were in support of [the increase] for me to make my
findings. I feel that this is an
item that should come back to
the council and that we should
have the homeowner group
discuss with their groups, get a
vote and have a transparent
conversation with the homeowner groups.
BHC: How does this treatment by City staff make you
feel?
LB: It has made me feel
frustrated and defensive. I
would like to feel that I don’t
have to always [have to look
for] another layer. The answer is
in the question that isn’t being
asked and I would like us to get
to a place where everything is
transparent and open. I always
believe that you can get the
community on board with the
tough decisions when you are
honest and open about it the
first time as opposed to saying
half of the story at one point
and half of the story at another
point.

John Mirisch are often in the
council minority. You agree
with each other on major issues including the Westside
Subway Extension, where you
supported a strong approach
to MTA and collaboration
with the Beverly Hills Unified
School District, and the budget, where you voted against
the proposed budget because
of the $10 million public
works warehouse and the increase in new hires. Does that
ever get frustrating?
LB: I don’t think there is
anything wrong with having a
council that isn’t 5-0 all the
time. I think that we are very
individual and we represent
what we think this community
is saying. I feel very comfortable in the votes I have made
in the last year. I feel that I can
look in the mirror at night and
respect myself because I do
feel I kept my word as when I
was running for office. I think
it’s about being able to agree
to disagree and still respect
each other.
BHC: You were absent
during the August 7 study session where the council majority, of Councilmembers Julian
Gold and Barry Brucker and
Mayor Willie Brien, supported
Gold’s proposal to create a
City-run, City-written, Cityproduced “news” broadcast
on cable. The main reason
given was to provide more information about City commission hearings. If you had
been present, would you have
supported the issue?
LB: Had I been at the
meeting, I would have voted
no. At our last budget session,
we all unanimously voted to
spend $200,000 to upgrade
our technology in the commission rooms so that all the commissions can be broadcast live
at any time. We justified the
expenditure as a way for us to
allow for transparent government. The staff report said that
[a news show] would allow for
the community to see what’s
happening at the commission
and council meetings when
just a few months before we
unanimously voted on a way
to allow that to happen. I don’t
feel a City should be creating
its own news show.
BHC: What are your goals
for the upcoming year?
LB: A goal of mine is that
residents feel I’m accessible.
Whenever I get a call or a letter, I have called back [or written back] every single person.
I want our City to be a
place that people from around
the world are going to want to
come to. Even though Beverly
Hills has its cachet, for the last
number of years we’ve sat on
our laurels and I think we
need to invest in our business
community and allow it to
thrive. I want to see if we can
turn southeast Robertson into
another destination place.
Beverly Hills is really going to
be the place on the map
where everyone can find
themselves in the City.

NEW MUSICAL TO DEBUT
SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT
Loving The Silent Tears Brings Poetry To The Stage
L
oving the Silent Tears, a new musical to debut Oct. 27 in Los
Angeles, promises a fascinating
tale of humanity’s search for true happiness, spanning 16 countries on six
continents on a single stage—North
America’s largest stage of its kind, the
Shrine Auditorium.
The new musical will star two-time
Grammy-winning pop star Jon Secada,
Grammy-winning icon Jody Watley,
Broadway stars and Tony-winners
Debbie Gravitte and Kiril Kulish, plus
Emmy-winner and Tony-nominee Liz
Callaway.
“I’m excited to be a part of this
magical experience,” said Watley. “I’m
really looking forward to this spectacular production and event with such an
esteemed and diverse cast and production staff.”
Also in the cast are Grammy-winning reggae legends Black Uhuru, Arab
singer Camellia Abou-Odah, Italian
tenor Mark Janicello, award-winning
Israeli singer Liel Kolet, Irish soprano
Katie McMahon, Korean singer
Heather Park, award-winning Brazilian
singer Fabiana Passoni and Persian
superstar Siavash Shams.
The director is Tony-nominated
Vincent Paterson (Michael Jackson’s
“Bad”
and
Madonna’s
“Blond
Ambition” tours).
“It will be a wonderful evening of
theater – beautiful costumes and great
sets to look at,” said Paterson.
“Audience members are going to hear
great music. They’re going to see great
dancing. There are some beautiful messages here about enlightenment and
self-realization; and that’s always a
nice reminder to have throughout life.”
Also on the production team are
Emmy-winning choreographer, working
with more than 30 dancers, Bonnie
Story (High School Musical); Emmywinning set designer John Iacovelli,
and award-winning costume designer
Sharell Martin
The poetry collection, Silent Tears,
by world-renowned spiritual teacher,
humanitarian and ar tist Supreme
Master Ching Hai, inspired two-time
Oscar-winning composer Al Kasha (The
Poseidon Adventure) to create the
show.
He wrote the music in collaboration with a team of award-winning composers including: Six-time Grammy winner and two-time Oscar-nominee Jorge
Calandrelli (Crouching Tiger, Hidden
Dragon); Emmy-winner Doug Katsaros
(Footloose), two-time Grammy-winner
and Oscar-nominee Henr y Krieger
(Dreamgirls), Tony- and Emmy-winner
Don Pippin (Oliver!), Grammy-winner
Nan Schwar tz (Harr y Potter), and
Oscar- and two-time Grammy-winner
David Shire (Saturday Night Fever).
Jon Secada will also debut a song
he composed for the musical, based on
Supreme Master Ching Hai’s poetry. “I
think the audience will find listening to
Supreme Master Ching Hai
Jon Secada
Jody Watley
the lyrics of the songs, which are from
Supreme Master Ching Hai’s poems, a
transformative and enlightening experience,” Secada said.
“All these composers, who are the
best in the world, and all of these
singers, who won Grammys and Tonys
from Broadway, worked on this piece
because they saw the spiritual nature
of it,” said Kasha. “I think it will lift the
audience up inspirationally, I really do.”
“This is the coming together of
music in the name of a good purpose, a
higher purpose, a spiritual purpose,
that brings out the best in people,”
said Schwar tz. “I think the show
sounds like an incredible event for all
people to attend.”
The one-time red carpet event will
commemorate the 19th annual Supreme Master Ching Hai Day, recognizing her humanitarian works worldwide.

MEETING
into higher tax rate categories.
The idea of staff "reclassifying" a
business's activities into a higher rate
category came from a 2006 consultant's
report on how to raise taxes without going to the voters or the City Council.
The City's first target, Specialty Surgical,
has been sued by the City for $5.5 million in back taxes under the new
scheme.
Community opposition grew last
week when The Courier reported that
an online petition opposing the tax had
reached 372 signatures, many of which
are from prominent physicians and professionals in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles County.
A resident Town Hall meeting will
discuss the issue next Wednesday, Oct.
3 at 7 p.m. at Temple Emanuel at 8844
Burton Way in Beverly Hills. All residents opposed to the tax hike, or simply
interested in learning more about the
case are encouraged to attend. Wednesday’s meeting is organized by Dr. Stella
Sarraf, a lifelong Beverly Hills resident
and professional. Sarraf, a scientist, is a
Beverly Vista and Beverly High graduate
and has been active in grassroots opposition to Metro’s proposed tunnel under
BHHS.
Sarraf said speakers will discuss the
role of surgery centers and legal ramifications of imposing tax hikes through
administrative action instead of the ballot box. One of the main aims of
Wednesday’s meeting is to help educate
the community about exactly what services surgical centers provide to the
community. Surgery centers often provide specific outpatient care for patients
(such as cataracs or colonoscopy’s) so
they don’t need to go to a hospital for a
similar procedure.
As first reported in The Courier, the
City is attempting to circumvent voter
approval of new taxes. The City lawsuit
claims approximately $5.5 million from
Specialty Surgical Center. Specialty has
BHUSD
the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE). By comparison, if Prop.
30 passes, the district will have an operational budget that will range between
$50-$52 million, according to Board
president Brian Goldberg. Last year’s
budget was $52 million.
Woods has discussed the proposed
list with PTAs, the Beverly Hills Education Foundation and the Unions in an
effort to get ahead of expected cuts and
prepare the community for the challenges facing the community’s public
schools.
“The clear message is we need to
immediately begin fixing this for ourselves rather than wait for Sacramento
to tell us what’s going to happen,” Board
VP Jake Manaster told The Courier.
The draft plan, which has yet to be
made public, was made available to the
School Board in anticipation of a board
discussion. Woods calls the draft a
“Restoration List” that reflects what programs and positions the district will be
able to maintain if the Governor’s initia-

BEVERLY HILLS
already paid all of its City taxes calculated under the method used for
decades.
The City's new position asserts that
claims the surgery center’s primary business is renting commercial real estate to
its customers, rather than providing
healthcare. In other words, the City
claims an out-patient surgery center like
Specialty is a landlord and patients and
doctors using the center is a tenant.
This same theory can be applied to
restaurants, retail stores, and any other
facility conducting any business.
Specialty is only one of over 20 surgery centers in the City. If the City staff
wins, the City will seek tens of millions
of dollars from other businesses in the
City. The tax assessments are retroactive.
Another major topic to be addressed is how City staff is ignoring the
overwhelming recent vote of Beverly
Hills residents that rejected the tax hikes
in Measure P. That proposal would have
raised the City tax on physicians and
other professionals in the City.

tive to temporarily increase income taxes on the wealthiest and sales taxes
passes in November.
“This is a local challenge,” Woods
said. “We’re trying to provide excellence. Average is not good enough for
us here.”
If Prop. 30 fails, school districts
across the state will automatically be
forced to cut over $1,000 per student.
Boardmember Lisa Korbatov said
Sacramento had failed the community.
“Cuts that might have to be made
are absolutely devastating to our district
and will eviscerate most of our programming,” she said. “I hope the community
understands that this is not the fault of
the school district or the board or any
one entity.”
Woods said he’s working with the
BHEF to get ahead of the crisis to educate the community on the severity of
the situation in preparation for garnering
67 percent of the vote needed to support a parcel tax increase.
The first interim budget is due to
LAECO in December and slated for Board
review in November.

A SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE COURIER
NFIAS Can Save Clients 40-60% On Insurance Costs
hen you purchase your next
life-insurance plan, there is a
little known way you can get
back 40-60% of the first year’s cost—
through a rebate from the agent. With
annuities you can get back 1-3%. It’s
almost like getting an additional
bonus interest rate in the first year.
Rebating. A very hot topic since
Proposition 103, in 1988, lifted the
restrictions on California insurance
agents and allowed them to rebate
commissions to their clients on a certain number of products, most notably
life insurance and fixed-rate annuities.
New Foundations Insurance &
Annuity Services (NFIAS) has been
offering rebates to its clients on these
products for the past 20 years. This
allows clients to save a substantial
amount of money—thousands to tens
of thousands—on the purchase of
these products, especially if they’re
looking at a high-premium life insurance plan or a large annuity.
“And if you do this through NFIAS,
by no means will you have to give up
quality on the plans you’re looking to
purchase,” says Rick Moncher, NFIAS
president.
As an independent agency, the
company represents more than 100
premier companies in the industry.
The company has the capacity to
shop the market for the best plans,
the lowest prices and the best compa-
W
nies available.
“As independent agents, we can
search all the companies available
and come up with a selection for the
client to choose from,” Moncher says,
“finding the best plan with the best
product for that client and situation.”
This also allows NFIAS to obtain
the most competitive quotes and
rates for those whose health may be a
factor in obtaining such products as
life insurance.
A number of the companies NFIAS
deals with specialize in placing people
with challenging health histories or
medical problems, often offering the
client more competitive rates or even
providing an offer of insurance for
someone who may not be able to qualify at all with most traditional insurers.
Not all companies in the insurance industry allow rebating. Though
perfectly legal by California state law,
some insurers still do not allow their
agents to offer a rebate as company
policy.
New Foundations Insurance and
Annuity Services complies with those
companies’ wishes not to rebate. But
with such a vast selection of companies remaining, NFIAS can still shop
the market for clients and offer them
the best plans, at the best rates with
the best companies available.
The staff at NFIAS is comprised of
agents with a long track record in the
business, many of them more than 20
years. They have a wealth of knowledge and experience in policy analysis
and medical underwriting.
In many circumstances, they have
been able to secure offers of insurance for those who were not able to
buy anywhere else. And with their
streamlined agency structure, they
can often outwork the competition at
a lower rate and cost to their clients.
• Why do they offer a rebate when
most agents do not?
“Most clients come to NFIAS
already with an idea of what company
they want or even which specific plan
they want to purchase,” says Moncher. “Simply put, clients have already
done half the work for us. Why shouldn’t they be entitled to a rebate for
making our job a little easier?”
Moncher asks.
This is not a popular view with
many insurance agents and some
insurance companies. But then again,
as Moncher states, “not to sound
impertinent, but we are working for
our clients, not anyone else.”
• In essence, can a client go to
any independent agent in the state
and find the same products and the
same companies?
Certainly. NFIAS makes no claim
on having a lock on the market, a proprietary product or some magic bullet
that no one else possesses.
They are very clear that anyone
can purchase the same plans and
same companies they offer with many
other independent agents in the State
of California.
• Why then, would you want to
buy through New Foundations Insurance and Annuity Services?
“Only if you want to save a substantial amount on that same plan
you’re going to buy anyway,” Moncher
reports.
“We can get you the plan you
want, with a reputable, highly rated,
quality company; and we are willing
to give back 40-60% of the first-year
commission,” Moncher explains.
For example, if a client buys a
large insurance policy at $10,000 per
year premium, with a commission rate
of 80%, the agent’s commission is
$8,000. On a 50% rebate, the client
would get $4,000 back in the first
year.
“If you would like to save thousands or possibly tens of thousands
on your next life insurance or annuity
purchase—and still receive the highest quality service in the industry—
then give the people at New
Foundations Insurance & Annuity
Services a call.

Managing Your Wealth
BEVERLY HILLS COURIER |SEPTEMBER 28, 2012
MYW 2
Are Your Children Wealth Creators, Stewards Or Consumers?
By Steve Ghysels and Michael Ward
n the wealth-management business,
it’s easy to become overly focused on
transactional oppor tunities—maximizing investment returns, helping
clients get loans and manage cash flow,
consolidating assets for more efficient
management. These opportunities are
critically important both to affluent families and the wealth managers who
advise them.
However, we recognize there is usually much more going on beneath the
surface with wealthy families and much
larger issues they are grappling with,
especially if a first-generation wealth
creator intends to transfer wealth to the
next generation.
These issues are generally more
complex, the conversations are more
difficult, and the payoff is not always
apparent. Accordingly, these issues are
sometimes neglected or avoided by
financial/wealth advisors.
In a December 2010 study from
Boston College’s Center for Retirement
Research, researchers estimated that
Baby Boomers (individuals born
between 1946 and 1964) will inherit
$8.4 to $11.6 trillion. The greater
wealth transfer, from Baby Boomers to
Generations X and Y, is estimated to
include more than $30 trillion of assets
moving from one generation to the next
over the coming 30 to 40 years.1
However, a well-cited study of
3,500 wealthy families found that in 70
percent of cases, wealth failed to transition successfully from one generation to
the next2, with families losing control of
wealth it frequently took a lifetime to
create.
I
Research indicates that most
wealthy families fail in the endeavor of
transferring wealth from one generation
to the next not because they didn’t maximize every investment return or have
the best estate plan; they fail because
communication and trust fails in the
family or because heirs were inadequately prepared to assume such high
levels of wealth.
A new paradigm that is emerging is
for wealth creators to prepare children
to receive inheritances and to implement estate plans in the context of
potential outcomes for their heirs. Are
your children Wealth Creators, Wealth
Stewards or Wealth Consumers?
• Wealth Creators see wealth as
“seed capital” that enables them to
take advantage of oppor tunities to
make more money. They are willing to
take entrepreneurial and financial risks.
Successful Wealth Creators understand
this risk and do everything within their
power to mitigate it.
Second-generation Wealth Creators
have the ability to take a family business to a new level of success. They
have an entrepreneurial spirit and may
have voluntarily entered the family business or started their own business at a
younger age as compared to siblings or
similarly situated peers.
While growing up, Wealth Creators
may have been included in discussions
about the family business. Maintaining a
higher standard of living may not be a
priority.
• Wealth Stewards have less entrepreneurial inclinations and tend to have
a lower tolerance for risk. They frequently have more formal education than their
parents
and
may choose to
enter
legal,
accounting, or
medical professions.
W e a l t h
Stewards live
within
their
means, understand investing
and the time
value of money,
and are not willing to invade
Steve Ghysels
principal to fund
higher standards of living.
While growing up, they were frequently present when wealth was discussed by their parents. However, they
may enter the family business only if
required.
Wealth Stewards are charitably
inclined and understand the impact of
charitable giving on the family legacy.
Wealth Stewards are willing to educate
their children regarding investing, legacy and family values.
• Wealth Consumers frequently
have their own source of income, but
utilize inherited wealth to enjoy higher
standards of living.
In fact, they see the invasion of principal to fund and maintain a higher standard of living as a good use of an inheritance.
Wealth Consumers were not frequently involved in discussions of family
wealth while growing up. If involved in
the family business, they may see inclusion more as a birthright than something that should be earned.
Wealth Consumers sometimes have
more formal education than parents.
With much being made of the current opportunity for high net-worth individuals to give away up to $5,120,000
tax-free before the end of the year, the
stakes have never been higher for families to plan and prepare for major wealth
transitions.
If you can clearly classify a child as
a Wealth Creator, Wealth Steward or
Wealth Consumer, you should consider
using this information to customize your
estate plan to appropriately encourage
purposeful activity and responsible
money management.
More impor tantly, you and your
advisory team should begin to prepare
your children to develop the skills and
knowledge to manage family wealth
based on their natural inclinations and
tendencies.

BROWN
Speaking on the topic “California
Matters,”
Brown
touched on issues ranging from
education to sustainability to
transportation, calling on those
in attendance to join together
for the betterment of humanity
and support Proposition 30 in
November. The sales and income tax initiative is one of two
propositions on the upcoming
ballot to address education
cuts. If the initiative fails, it triggers immediate cuts to the tune
of more than $1,000 per student, forcing BHUSD to cut in
excess of $3 million in programs and positions.
“Proposition 30 is a real

choice,” Brown said. “You say,
‘Yes,’ you stabilize the budget,
inject billions of dollars into
schools and put ourselves on a
path to not only a better credit
rating, but a more productive
and better California.”
Joining Brown on the dais
were Temple Emanuel Rabbis
Laura Gellar and Jonathan
Aaron, Mayor Willie Brien, Vice
Mayor John Mirisch, Council
Members Lili Bosse, Julian Gold
and Barry Brucker, Assembly
Member Mike Feuer, and Israeli
Consul General David Siegel.

dar,” Siegel told The Courier
following the event.
During the hour-long program, the second-time California governor harkened back to
the “Gold Rush” days of the
1840’s, touting the rudimentary
democracy that emerged across
the lawless territory before it
joined the Union.
“It was very democratic,
and that gave it a dynamic quality,” he said of the process for
claiming and working an area,
despite the outlaw character of
the Wild West that sometimes
meant a bullet could end that
claim.
“That dynamism has stayed
with us,” he added. “It is still a
place with gold in our imagina-
tion.”
But the increasing disparity
between the haves and havenots continues to threaten the
state, he said, noting the widening gap. In 1975, when the
state’s collective income was
$150 billion, the wealth was
held by 20 percent of the population.
Today, the 38 millionstrong Golden State, with a collective income of $2 trillion,
maintains its wealth in just 8
percent of the population.
“We have a remedy for that
– it’s called Proposition 30,”
Brown said. “It solves a huge
problem in our colleges and education…If it doesn’t pass, it
won’t be pretty.”

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 28).
You take initiative, refusing to settle for less than you deserve–and
your estimation of what's
deserved is right on. First, you
show you're willing to work hard.
Friends and family gather in support of your quest. Mental clarity
helps you choose new goals in
December.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You
have a different perspective on life
than you did when you were little,
but you still remember your naive
emotional associations. A morning interaction will illustrate the
point.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). For
you, optimism is easy, considering
the alternative. You can think the
best and free up your energy, or
worry about the worst and be
tethered to those fears.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Can a relationship be remade by
remembering things differently?
It's not difficult to imagine interactions from other perspectives,
and now you'll feel willing to try.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Catch wind of an interesting
prospect. It's not too late to make
childhood dreams come true in
some quirky way. Look sideways
at the scene. Ask lots of questions.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
When you bring something to the
table, you'll be more readily
accepted at the dinner. Also,
you'll feel better about all you eat
knowing you contributed in a way
you can be proud of.
PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). You
can't change the cards dealt, but
the way you play today's hand
will be nothing short of brilliant.
You bluff when you think you can
get away with it. That's the fun
part.
ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). This eve
of the full moon in your sign
comes with an irrepressible feeling. Seeing other people achieve
their dreams gives you permission
to dream, –if you didn't feel you
had it already.
TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). Fate is
capricious. What occurs may not
be congruent with your sense of
justice. Then again, you may not
understand the variables. Be willing to hear new sides of the story.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You're
not one to be distracted by every
shiny object in your path–yet
looking for adventure today and
want to be enticed by the enticement worthy of your attention.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). The
way you meet a person sets the
course for your entire relationship, however long-or short-lived
that may be. Follow inclination to
project a sparkling personality.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Changing
your romantic
future is easy.
Do something
different. One
thing is all it
takes to alter
the
course.
Venus in your
sign
keeps
reminding you
have
the
power.
VIRGO (Aug.
23 - Sept. 22).
Parental supervision is a primary factor in
preventing
juvenile delinquency, so is
you-on-you
supervision in
preventing a
fall from intention. Check in
with yourself.
How’re
you
with
your
goals?

TRENCH
The Metropolitan Transit
Authority “Metro“ released a
report claiming that an active
earthquake fault ran under
Beverly High. That report was
based on minimal core samples drilled to a shallow depth.
This forced the District to conduct its own investigation into
the seismic condition of the
property. To ensure safety of
the property, the District elected the “gold standard“ of seismic investigation -- an actual
trench. Geologists reviewing
results in the 100-foot-long by
15-foot-wide trench are expected to conclude that there
is no active fault under the
property. An active fault would

From the Publisher
CLIF SMITH
‘PARTISANSHIP’
“Look at that word, ‘partisanship.’ It’s a dirty
word. It’s why we’re in trouble in this country. If
only we could all just get along.”
News commentators, reporters and analysts all
act like the word means, “mindless bickering” or
“selfish self-promotion.” The “people” don’t like it.
For a nation that prides itself on compromise, “partisanship” is our mortal enemy – or so we are
taught.
Let’s look at “budget cuts.” The truth about
spending is that our government has NEVER
reduced the actual amount of money it spends during the lifetimes of most of us. Instead, government
has convinced us that when someone talks about
spending, whatever amount they talk about
becomes a “budget” no matter what was actually
spent last year. Then, if there is any “push back”
that is a “budget cut.” If the “budget cut” cuts
money for something like the infamous “bridge to
nowhere,” that’s OK. If the push back is for welfare
or food stamps or government pensions or growing
a federal agency, that’s bad “partisanship.”
In the popular press, Republicans are always
evil skinflints trying to starve children and kill old
people. Is that true? Can you find any Republican
who has actually reduced federal spending from
year-to-year? We can’t. They spend more every
year. The Democrats today don’t even pretend to try
to spend within government revenue. They throw
around dollar amounts with no regard whatsoever
for how much money the government actually has
to spend. This goes on and on, mainly because the
national press is completely dishonest when it talks
about “budget cuts.” They refuse to explain that a
“budget cut” never means “spend less money than
last year.”
The truth is that both Democrats and
Republicans strip more and more of our money
from us for their pet priorities. With that money
comes power and that power is used daily to
increase the power of the spenders.
When the taxes don’t raise enough money to
spend what they want, they just borrow it. That borrowing confiscates the equity of the people in our
nation, just like putting a second mortgage on your
house takes out the equity you have in that house.
When you have no more equity to borrow against,
you go bankrupt. You’re broke. Greece is broke.
Spain is broke. Italy is probably broke. (President
Obama says our borrowing “is OK because we owe
the money to ourselves.” Talk about “out of touch.”
That is such utter nonsense that it defies rational
counter-arguments. So what happens when some
day we try to collect from ourselves? Who is going
to pay? Or do we never collect? If we never collect, is the money even there anymore?)
Is pointing this out “mindless bickering”? Is this
“partisanship?”
What if “partisanship” means a contest of
ideas? Policies? Values? Beliefs? What if siding
with one side or the other actually means you stand
for or against something that is real?
In World War II, “partisan” was a positive term
because it meant “guerillas fighting against the
Nazis.” Anti-slavery and pro-civil rights activists
were clearly “partisans.” So were their opponents.
Were they failures because they refused to compromise? Just exactly how do you compromise with
slavery? What about fighting Nazi Germany and
Imperial Japan? Should we have let those fascist
countries keep some of their conquests if they
would give back other parts?
How do you compromise with Al Qaeda when
it murders our ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens?
Should we have just “compromised” and said it was
OK to shoot him but not kill him? Or just kill two of
those Americans instead of four?
The point is that values matter. Values count.
Political positions really can be more than selfish
posturing.
Tragically for our nation, the notion of “compromise” in our daily political life really means “go
along to get along” with bad ideas and failed policies. In many cases it means, “we just don’t want to
hear it.”
Our nation is at a crossroads. We have one
“partisan” party, the Democratic, that is growing
government as fast as it can. We have another “partisan” party, the Republicans, who push back –
sometimes a little, sometimes a lot, sometimes not at
all. Which one is right? Which protects us? Which
turns us into machines to produce for the state? Does
it matter?
With the demise of a truly skeptical, inquiring
national news media, few actually look at the facts
behind the arguments. Talk of “the economy” never
seems to include whether our government has
grown so big that it’s killing our productivity as a
people. Is it “partisan” to say, as Ronald Reagan said
in his 1980 campaign, “Our problem is that the government is too big and it spends too much”? He was
about as “partisan” as you could get. His “partisanship” was not simply conveyed in flowing words
delivered in a compelling manner. He made sense.
The policies he urged were correct. He was fought
hammer and tongs by the Democrats and lamely
supported by his fellow Republicans. He prevailed
and the nation prospered as never before or since.
Today, we really do have a government that is
crushing the private sector. Only the private sector
creates wealth. Government only consumes.
Necessary government spending at a certain level
can be good. But spending at today’s level is fatal to
our nation. President Barack Obama is determined
to spend as much of our wealth as possible. That’s
the evidence. There is no growth. There are no net
new jobs. Middle class wealth has fallen 8 percent
during his four years. Our children have no real job
prospects and the ranks of the “drop outs” from jobhunting grow every day.
Why is it wrong to oppose the policies that create the problems?
It is not “partisan” to oppose bad ideas and
bad policies. It is our duty.
BEWARE OF CARAGGEDON TWO
Cartoon for The Courier by Janet Salter
Rabbi Jacob Pressman
THE LOVE-HATE ANOMALY OF THE U.S.A.
In vivid television news clips and black headlines in the
press we are faced with the love-hate attitude of much of the
rest of the world toward the United States of America. Rarely
a day goes by without pictures of American installations
abroad being picketed or stormed or even torched by mobs
accompanied by screams of: “Americans, go home!” In
Afghanistan recently one man-in-the-street screamed at the
newsman: “We don’t want you here.”
In country after country to which we sent troops and suffered casualties, we hear and see expressions of hostility.
How does it happen that we encounter such hostility?
On the other hand, we have to build humungous barriers
at some American-Mexican borders, and close long underground tunnels to keep aliens from getting in here. There is
a backlog of candidate for entry and occasional citizenship.
We see news stories of roomfuls of new citizens being sworn
in to become one of us. Why this strange anomaly?
Ever since Columbus, America has been the sought-out
destination of millions of foreigners who are now at home
here. Still, that love-hate relationship marks our strange relationship with other parts of the world.
I do not pose as an expert in foreign relations by any
means, but I would guess that some of our readers also find
what I have been trying to describe as confusing but not
amusing. In a few weeks we shall mark Columbus Day and
give a thought or two of gratitude that Christopher got here.
As for how the U.S.A. handles this anomaly, the best I can
offer as a rabbi is: “Let us pray!”
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
I know there are so many pressing issues to think about
daily, but closing our main Beverly Hills Post Office is unconscionable. I have written to Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara
Boxer plus Rep. Henry Waxman. We as a community cannot
allow this to happen and let the postal group shut down the
main post office on Maple and Third.
Every major city has a central post office, and we are not a
small community. Our population increases to more than
250,000 people each day and this deserves a post office. Saying
they will relocate again is not satisfactory–I'm from Beverly
Hills, show me!
Nancy Krasne Former Mayor of Beverly Hills
******
In response to Victor Moss’ letter last week, I must say that
the only thing he is missing is that Metro is hiding facts which
will hurt them and showing so-called facts that will benefit their
reason for putting a subway under BHHS.
As for me, I find it appalling Metro has said nothing about
the recent earthquakes under Beverly Hills.
When it comes to real facts, Metro will either say nothing
or lie. I guess the earth is so mad at Metro that it too is “shaking” its fist at them.
George Vreeland Hill Beverly Hills
******
The demographics of the voting public is shifting. The most
important thing to remember is no matter what demographic
group (i.e. black, white, Hispanic or whatever) mentioned;
when it all comes down to it we are all “Americans.”
The voting control of all these groups is mostly held by the
two major political parties, special interests and the liberalbased mainstream media The establishment’s “divide and conquer” philosophy has caused many Americans to be fooled into
voting for masked and selfish causes. These dynamics have
managed to get control of most of the political process.
The mainstream media feed into this by ignoring third opinions in the public debate. These third opinions need to be
heard if we are ever to stop the political gridlock and out of
control government. The courts of our land feed into this by the
massive denials of ballot access to third political parties.
In this environment, is it any wonder we find our federal
government producing $16 trillion debts? These do not belong
to any specific ethnic or cultural group. This debt belongs to all
“Americans.”
“We the People” are not one specific ethnic group.. We
are first “Americans.” Our founding documents tell us we were
created “equal.”
Until third party opinions get equal treatment as a true
democracy would demand, our massive problems will continue to haunt us. All of us need to wake up, smell the coffee and
truly see what the current environment is leading. There are
good ideas with good solutions out there being ignored by these
establishment agencies.
“We the People” must demand these opinions get equal
treatment in the public square.
