There are few people who are
iconic in Los Angeles fashion.
Angela Missoni, an Italian
designer, is one of those greats.
As the current creative head
of both the women and men’s departments of Missoni, her
knitwear embodies the true spirit
of Los Angeles transgenerational
fashion- a sophisticated nomad
with relaxed sensibilities.
“We can dress people my
mother's age and my daughter's
age,” says Missoni.
With her only U.S. store in
New York, a West Coast fashion
house has been long overdue. But
finally Angelenos can take a sigh
of relief, because Missoni has arrived on Rodeo.
The Courier had an opportunity to speak exclusively with An-
gela Missoni on Wednesday at her
home in Northern Italy about
opening her 7,500 square-foot
store on the corner of Rodeo Drive and South Santa Monica
Boulevard.
“L.A., California is the perfect market for Missoni," she said.
"We have the DNA to house the
right spirit for California. Even
though the collection is very sophisticated it is always very relaxed, which is what I see for
L.A."
Almost four years ago, Missoni called designer and friend
Patrick Kinmonth to start the
process of opening a West Coast
flagship.
"We looked around for different places," said Missoni. "Rodeo

The woman was robbed at

the block of 9595 Wilshire Boulevard on Feb. 9, said Sgt. Dennis
Lynch of the BHPD.
The suspect followed the victim as she got off an MTA bus in
Beverly Hills. She stated the sus-

Are Measure E funds being
spent as effectively as they could
be? The Measure E Citizens Oversight Committee issued their first
report of 2010 to the BHUSD
Board of Education Feb. 10.
The findings, which evaluate
a period of expenses from March 3
through Dec. 31, 2009, indicate
several areas of concern said the
COC, but no misdeeds on behalf
of the Beverly Hills Unified

Plush Ultra Lounge, Beverly
Hills’ only nightclub and its adjacent Bar 210, featuring cuisine by
Top Chef Alum Marcel Vigneron,
open this weekend in a 7,000
square-foot-space at The Beverly
Hilton.
What most people adore
about living in Los Angeles are
rooms with rich colors accentuated
by contemporary fixtures, hidden
enclaves in an already masked locale serving teasingly delicious
bites coupled with habit-forming
cocktails, that mix all the right elements to create the perfect spot
after dark.
Unfornutely, this was not
something an Angeleno would
find in Beverly Hills, until now.
Plush and its adjacent lounge,
Bar 210, open Saturday at the Beverly Hilton on the corner of Santa

City Hosts Utility Workshop
The City of Beverly Hills is
hosting a community workshop
on utility bills to help customers
understand their statements and
water use at 7 p.m. on Feb. 24 at
City Hall.
Last year, the City installed
over 11,000 new water meters,
which have already detected over
6,000 leaks. Staff, however, determined an issue with some of
the meters which resulted in
billing errors. The City immediately delayed the billing process
in order to ensure that what customers were receiving was an accurate reflection on their water
usage. A compacted billing
schedule is nearly complete.
Customer service representatives
will be available to review the
bills and provide assistance on
billing options.

WELCOME TO BEVERLY HILLS—Beverly Hills hosted
a welcome reception for new City Manager Jeff Kolin at

Beverly Hills Welcomes New City Mgr. Jeff Kolin
By Abbey Hood
Beverly Hills welcomed new
City Manager Jeff Kolin in a special reception at the Beverly Hills
Municipal Gallery on Tuesday.
He shook the hands of more than
50 attendees who included current councilmembers, former
Beverly Hills Mayors Joe Tilem,
Donna Garber, Vicki Reynolds
Pepper, Les Bronte, Mark
Egerman and Linda Briskman
and City Treasurer Elliot Finkel.
Mayor Nancy Krasne welcomed Kolin, who officially took
over for Rod Wood on Jan. 20.
Prior to joining Beverly Hills, he
was city manager for the California cities of Santa Rosa and Pittsburg and deputy city manager for
the city of Santa Clarita.
“The reception was another
example of the incredible welcome I have received since join-
ing the City team and I was honored to have so many community
leaders in attendance,” said
Kolin.
“It was a pleasure to have
family and friends join me and
share in my excitement on coming to Beverly Hills. I’m looking
forward to getting to know the
community and working with the
council on moving forward with
their priorities.”

With the anticipation of the
new club SoHo House at the West
Hollywood former Luckman
building, the City Council voted
unanimously to implement permit
parking that along the 800 block
of Cinthia Street and the 700
block of North Oakhurst Drive,
this proposal had previously been
denied by the Traffic and Parking
Commission by a 4-3 vote last
December.
The permit, requested by the
residents living on the two
streets, allows for two hour free
parking from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and
no other parking any other time,
daily, except by permit from 8
p.m. to 2:30 a.m.
“As you have stated the
Soho House nightclub is working
feverishly to open by March 7 for
the Academy Awards, Boa Steakhouse is already open and is already causing cars to park in front
of our house parked late into the
night, and another nightclub will
open soon on north side of Sunset,” said resident Deedy E. Oberman, who was the first of approximately 20 speakers advocating
the permit. “West Hollywood already has a permit parking only
on all residential streets near Sunset this causes patrons and employees of these establishments to
park on our streets.”
“Overwhelming the residents
of the 800 block of Cinthia want
evening permit parking only. The
staff of Parking and Traffic continues to recommend this. Please
help keep our street safe and quiet at night, we don’t want to be
parking lot for West Hollywood.”

Early last night, news circulated that Candy and Candy may
deed the property back to the
lender instead of losing the property through the foreclosure. If
so, then the public sale scheduled
for 10:30 am today would not be
held. The sale can be called off at
any time prior to it actually taking
place.
There are significant legal
differences between the lender
accepting the property back instead of foreclosing. If the property is foreclosed, then any mechanics liens or materialmen liens
would be wiped out, as would the
liens of any lenders subordinate
to Banco Imbursa. If Banco Imbursa forecloses and purchases
the property itself by using some
but less than all of the amount
owed by the owners, it could have
grounds to sue the owners for the
difference. The owners could
then claim an unfair sale and defend against the suit for the difference. In addition, if the lender offers the full amount owed, it
would trigger property taxes
based on that amount making it in
the interest of the lender to bid a
lower amount. Any other party
may bid on the property if the
foreclosure actually goes ahead.

Technology Fair Updates Classes With High End Tools
By Amanda Peabody
A committee of teachers, administrators and technology specialists gathered to review the latest in educational technology
trends and offerings Feb. 11.
The committee reviewed
products available for integration
in the classroom to improve instruction and modernize learning
environments.
“It is absolutely key to update technology because it is constantly changing,” Steven Rubenstein, Beverly High English
teacher, technology teacher on
special assignment and organizer
of the technology fair.
Teachers and administrators
from all five school sites were invited to test and learn about new
developments which will be recommended to the Beverly Hills
Unified School District Board of
Education and staff in March.
The committee worked together to evaluate Smart Boards,
Smart Slates and Clicker/response systems presented by various vendors and evaluated the
items against a rubric to determine what is appropriate for
classrooms. It looked at durability, ease of use, integration with
other classroom technology, as
well as content offering, support
and professional development.
The committee also determined
appropriateness for classrooms at
the K-12 levels as well as the cost
of equipment and the cost of installation.
“We looked at interactive
white boards specifically,”
Rubenstein.
“There are a whole range of
really terrific things that can be
done. The board can take screen
shots to upload directly to the
web, as well as project. Some
even have touch screens so that
elementary school children can
participate.”
El Rodeo Gets Kids Reading With Book Bowl Comp.
TEACHERS RING IN MARDI GRAS WITH ‘THANK YOU TUES.’–Let
the good times roll, or as they say at Mardi Gras, “Laissez les bons
temps rouler!” The teachers, staff, cafeteria workers and custodial staff
at Beverly High celebrated Mardi Gras at Tuesday's "Thank You
Tuesday” event. As they entered the room, they were given Mardi
Gras’ beads to wear as they feasted on cupcakes and coffee donated
by Peet's Coffee on Beverly Drive. “Thank You Tuesday” is a monthly

Ready, set, go! El Rodeo is
currently underway hosting their
own version of the reading
Olympics: the Book Bowl.
The Book Bowl is a fun,
competitive event that challenges
students in grades six through
eight to read great books, all
while testing reading comprehension and developing further
skills. Students who compete are
required to read three teacher-
chosen books over a four-week
period. Students are then tested
on the books and placed on
teams, depending on who scores
the highest. Teams then have six
to eight weeks to become experts
on the competition books and
compete in three semi-final
bowls and one final book bowl.
“Being in a competition
makes reading more fun,” said
eighth grade student Shana Kheradyar.
Echoes sixth grade student
Eric Ross: “I’m having fun reading these books and I look forward to the competitions.”
Prizes include extra credit
for scores of 70 percent or higher,
a t-shirt and a $20 Amazon gift
card.
The winning book bowl
team will receive a trophy, a $50
Amazon gift card and an outing
of real bowling with their English
teachers.
BHHS Gears Up For L.A. Surf Bowl
By Amanda Peabody
Is Beverly High about to
coast to a scientific victory? Students with a strong interest in
marine science will participate in
the Los Angeles Surf Bowl
March 6 at USC’s Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies.
The Los Angeles Surf Bowl
is an annual regional ocean science bowl comprised of high
school teams of four or five students. The winning team will
then head to the University of
South Florida to compete against
24 other regional champions in
the 13th annual National Ocean
Sciences Bowl. This year, 2,000
students from over 300 high
schools are expected to participate.
The National Ocean Sciences Bowl is a program, part of
the Washington D.C.-based Consortium for Ocean Leadership,
which seeks to engage students
interested in pursuing the ocean
sciences professionally. Through
their educational forum, the
NOSB encourages future generations of marine scientists, policy
makers, teachers, explorers, researchers, technicians, environmental advocates and informed
citizens.
Participating from BHHS
are Trudy Pham (team captain),
Joon Ha Lee, Rebeccah
Stromberg, Sang Yom Kim and
Kevin Cruz. The team will be led
by teacher and team coach Emily
Smith.

Robert Redford Honored At Inaugural Gala Fundraiser
The USC School of Theatre launched a new tradition by honoring actor/director Robert Redford with the newly established “Robert Redford Award for Engaged Artists” at
an inaugural gala fundraiser on Feb. 10 at The Beverly Wilshire.
To be presented annually, the award was created to recognize those artists who have distinguished themselves not only in the exemplary quality, skill and innovation of their
work but also in their public commitment to social responsibility, to increasing awareness of global issues and events and to inspiring and empowering young people. This is the
first award named after the actor.
The event drew more than 550 people and raised $200,000 for scholarship support for the next generation of artists at the USC School of Theatre.

PLUSH continued from page 1
PLUSH LOUNGE
DNA is owned by
Rodney Franks and Dan
D'Agostino,
who
have
launched and managed
nightclubs in Las Vegas,
produced hundreds of special
events and live performances.
A day before its soft
opening on Thursday, I was
given
an
exclusive
opportunity to tour Plush and
Bar
210
with
DNA’s
spokeswoman Rachel Krupa.
The 7,000 square-foot
space
has
undergone
aesthetic upgrades in the past
few years to best utilize it as a
private event space. It was the
site for the Weinstein Golden
Globes party this year.
Entering through Bar
210’s doors, my eyes were
immediately drawn to the
elaborate handmade ball
chain gold chandelier in the
center of the room hung
above a long cocktail table.
Designer Thomas Ford
creates a sultry ambience for
Bar 210 through his use of
lavish plum, black fig and
byzantium for his fabrics that
are accompanied by Spanish
goat hair pillows.
Mimicking the gold leaf embedded on the tabletops is a glass-like leaf
skeleton aligning the left wall of the lounge. Off the main room of the lounge is
a private area with its own DJ meant for VIPs.
Equally as salivating as the interior is the pairing of its menu by Chef
Vigneron.
Vigneron, a celebrity chef featured on Bravo’s Television Show Top Chef, is
creating for Bar 210 what he has dubbed a menu of modern global tasting. This
includes small, moderately priced plates of such delectables as pork belly
sliders, mushroom tart and tiger prawn ravioli.
Ford’s sultry ambience spills over to the lounge’s nightclub next door, Plush.
There is a separate entryway for Plush on Santa Monica Boulevard.
Beverly Hills’ only nightclub, Plush will host a DJ in a custom designed
sound system, European bottle service and an outdoor patio area with a fire pit.
Chain graphics laminate the walls that are juxtaposed to antique gold medals.
The mixtures of texture form to create an environment that is everything “plush.”
Bar 210 is open Monday-Saturday from 5 p.m.-2 a.m.; Plush is open
Thursday –Saturday from 10 p.m.-2 a.m.

Did you drive through Hollywood last week and notice anything different?
Perched on the same, iconic piece of land known as Cahuenga Peak since what
seems like when the dinosaurs roamed the earth, the Hollywood sign is a bit of history unable to be recreated. And folks, it’s in danger.
Last week, the Trust for Public Land (TPL) covered the sign to read “Save the
Peak” in an effort to raise funds. You see, 138 acres of Cahuenga Peak, the land directly behind the “H” of the sign, will be up for sale beginning April 14. The TPL
has made it their mission to purchase the land in order to save developers from
building behind the sign and thus changing the view forever. Currently, the land is
zoned for four luxury home sites.
The fundraising “stunt” raised almost $2 million for the cause. The TPL is said
to have another $6 million on hand, leaving $4.5 million still needed to hit their goal
of $12.5 million.
The Cahuenga Peak partnership includes TPL, LaBonge, the Hollywood Sign
Trust, the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority, the Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks, the Los
Angeles Parks Foundation and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce.
The land will be added to Griffith Park.

When the Opera Buffs hold
their Performance Showcase next
weekend, 50-year residents Dick
and Lenore Wayne will happily
be in attendance.
They are both actively
involved in the group that helps
young singers who are making a
career of opera with financial
help and performance opportunities.
Wayne is a board member
and chair of the scholarship committee. He retired nine years ago
after 25 years as a stockbroker
with Merrill Lynch and joined the
group 24 years ago—a year after
it was founded.
He and is wife, who’ve
always loved opera, are thrilled
with the group that has made 40
grants, totaling $56,600, to 40
young Southern California
singers just starting their careers.
Soprano Juliana Di Giacomo, featured in the Met’s recent Saturday
broadcast of Stiffelio, and tenor
Charles Castronovo, on the cusp
on international careers, were
helped by the group.
Another goal of the group is
to expose everyone, especially
younger people, to opera. “If I’m
walking down the street and I
hear someone whistling The
Toreador Song, I tell them, ‘I
know of a great group you can
join,’” Wayne said. “We would
like more young members.”
The group has provided performance opportunities to 16
singers, paying them a total of
$6,900, at its two Performers
Showcases; the next one of which
is Saturday, Feb. 27 when the
group presents “Brush Up Your
Shakespeare,” at 2:30 p.m. at the
Colburn School of Performing
Arts’ Thayer Hall.
The program will feature
arias from operas based on
Shakespeare’s plays with a bit of
Broadway, like Kiss Me, Kate,
thrown in.
Tickets are $25 for non members, $5 for students. To order,
call 818-348-3391 or send e-mail

Scorsese’s Shutter Island—Scary And A
Tour De Force For Leonardo DiCaprio
I do not like to be manipulated. However,
when the manipulator is Martin Scorsese, the
effect is not so bad. In fact, it’s almost a feeling of
a tempered serenity when the final credits appear
on screen.
Leonardo DiCaprio, who is excellent as
Marshal Teddy Daniels and an equally fine, Mark
Ruffalo (Chuck Aule), are two U.S. marshals sent
to a remote, eerie island off the coast of
Massachusetts to investigate the sudden and inexplicable disappearance of an insane woman who
killed her three children.
The island is a throwback to the dark movies
of the ’40s and ’50s when unrelenting rain and
howling winds set the tone for a film destined to
play havoc with our sensibilities.
Production designer Dante Ferretti, does a
great job offering up a Dante inferno which wreaks
havoc with the prison staff, inmates, marshalls and
us. The island is a fortress-like hospital for the
criminally insane. Daniels, one of the GI liberators
of Dachau, is beleaguered by flashbacks, nightmarish dreams and ominous characters in the persons of Ben Kingsley (Dr. Cawley) and a sinister—and no one plays more sinister than Max Von
Sydow as Dr. Naehring. Daniels’ fears and distrusts the German trained physician.
Adding to the macabre setting is a fierce storm
making it impossible for the two marshals to leave
the island and Robbie Robertson’s impeccably
supervised soundtrack foreshadowing evil happenings calculated to keep us on the edge of our seats.
Some scenes will play unevenly and a few of
the matching sequences are a bit sloppily handled
Jerry Cutler
On Film
by the film editor. Michelle Williams, Emily
Mortimer, Patricia Clarkson, Ted Levine and Elias
Koteas round out the terrific cast.
Shutter Island is best reserved for the adults.
It is scary and there are sequences that might prove
to be too frightening for the younger set.
DiCaprio’s scenes are an indication of the powerful range of his performances and the reason for
his incredible success as an actor.
The manipulation comes at the end of the
movie after over two hours when we could almost
see the smile on the master director’s face and hear
him say: “Gotcha.” And he has.

Dear S.G.,
Board Certified
Internal Medicine
Actually, none of them. My approach to problems
related to E.D. is to treat the underlying cause. The first thing is to eliminate
drugs that may be causing it, such as anti-depressants, prostate medication,
and certain anti-hypertensive’s (especially beta-blockers). There are natural
alternatives for all the above medications.
If drugs are not interfering, the next area to look into is hormones. Starting
at the age of 20, men’s level of testosterone drops every year. By the age of
50, there has been a significant decline. The best way of determining a
deficiency is not by blood testing but by history – a lack of or a decrease in
morning erections is strongly suggestive of a low testosterone level.
The benefits of replacing testosterone include:
1) prevention of Alzheimer’s
2) prevention and treatment of osteoporosis
3) prevention of cardiovascular mortality – almost 100% of men who have
heart attacks have a low testosterone level
4) prevention of muscle loss
5) prevention of depression – men with low levels lose their joie d’vie
6) prevention of loss of sexual performance
The best approach to replacing low levels is using a bio-identical cream
from a compounding pharmacy. When using the cream, certain measures
should be utilized to prevent testosterone from converting into estradiol, the
cause of prostate cancer. These measures could include the use of
aromatase inhibitors that prevent testosterone from
converting into estradiol. Examples would be Chrysin, as
well as zinc. The correct placement of the cream is
important as well.

George Christy’s Pick Of The Week: Capriotti’s
ayle King, the best
friend of Oprah Winfrey, was
among the first to stop by, and
will Oprah be far behind? Newly
opened, Capriotti’s Sandwich
Shop on Wilshire Boulevard,
across from Neiman-Marcus, is
drawing regulars from talent
agencies such as William
Morris-Endeavor. Staffers from
neighborhood business offices
pack in at lunch, also frequently
order takeout.
U
naware we were of
Capriotti’s until Crystal Rose
Bryan brought it to our attention, noting as she did that there
were 26 (!) Capriotti’s in Las
Vegas, plus locations in
Delaware where it birthed,
Florida, Arizona, Maryland, New
Jersey, Utah, Pennsylvania.
The most popular item is
the Bobbie sub on a fresh roll –
home-cooked turkey, cranberry sauce, and stuffing
with mayonnaise (small,
$7; medium $8.50; large
$12.75).
“We cook our
own turkeys,” informs comanager, Edwin Robbins,
a football champ from
Western Pennsylvania who
previously managed a Starbucks
in Los Angeles. (Co-manager is
Larry Keys) “The turkeys are
slow roasted overnight for more
than 12 hours … we hand pull
the light meat with the dark meat,
and it’s the dark which keeps the
meats moist.”
S
omewhat like a diner, but
not quite, Capriotti’s has a simple
unobstrusive look, with Edwin
noting that other popular subs are
the prosciutini and Capastrami
(both cold) and the cheesesteak
(served hot). More “hot stuff,” as
Edwin calls it, includes the homemade meatball, sausage, eggplant
Parmesan subs, also a cheeseburger. Cold subs on the menu
are the favorite Bobbie, and
Capriotti’s homemade roast beef.
Also: ham and cheese, tuna, capacolla, Genoa salami. “We bake
our Italian-style rolls every morning,” adds Edwin. “Additionally,
we have a vegetarian menu.”
Along with the subs are sandwiches that are modest in size.
Considering Beverly Hills rent,
the price is modest, too ($4.75).
H
ot soups vary from day to
day. Chicken with wild rice,
chicken noodle, chicken tortilla.
The day when we visited regular
customer Stacey, an agency associate who asked that we refrain
from mentioning her last name,
said, “I’m here at least twice a
week, if not more. What I like is
that everything’s fresh. You can
taste the freshness.”

G
D
esserts are home-cooked
cookies (oatmeal with raisin,
peanut butter, chocolate chip),
and a series of bundt cakes ($4)
made fresh locally. Marble,
lemon raspberry, lemon, chocolate-chocolate chip, white-white
chocolate, cinnamon swirl.
“Whenever we have the red velvet cake, it leaps out of the
place,” claims Edwin.
C
apriotti’s dates back to
1976, based in the Little Italy
area of Wilmington, Delaware,
when Lois Margolet quit her
full-time job, borrowed money,
and purchased a boarded-up
building on Union Street.
Lois moved in upstairs, partnered with brother Alan, and
they opened their sandwich
shop downstairs, naming it
after grandfather Philip
Capriotti, who loved cooking for them.
Like many Europeans and
Asians, grandpa Philip bought
only fresh ingredients from markets that he would cook that day.
“He spoiled us,” Lois has com-

sandwiches.
mented, “and how grateful we are
that he refined our taste buds.
“O
ur original concept was
to capture the hearts of the turkey
lovers,” Lois confided, “by roasting 10 to 12 turkeys every night,
and then make our sandwiches to
order during the day.” In little
time, Capriotti’s became a household name, with cousin Diane
Rizzo coming aboard as partner,
while they developed their signature Bobbie, named after Aunt
Bobbie, with whom they celebrated Thanksgiving dinner every year.
“H
ey, where else can you
find party platters that feed ten
people for 40 bucks?” asks
Edwin. The Zagat Guide rated
Capriotti’s as “best buy,” and
Frommer’s Travel Guide cites the
sandwiches as a “best inexpensive meal.”
“W
e’re confident that our
Los Angeles customers will not
be disappointed,” says CEO
Ashley Morris.
“Trying is
believing, and I’m convinced Los
Angelenos will be joining our
fans across the nation.”
O
pen daily, Capriotti’s is at
9683 Wilshire Blvd. Public parking available on Roxbury and
Bedford Drives. Telephone: 310858-1383.

PROUD MOTHERS—At the BHHS Soccer team’s Senior Night, the last game of the season, departing seniors took time to pose with their moms. From left are: Jacqueline and Parsa
Peykar, Sheryl and Spencer Weissberg, Ellen and Aaron Horwitz, Lynne and Zach Fiedler/Gallagher, Taly and Yonaton Ginsberg, Colleen and Russell Sternshein, Sabin and Jonas
Brock, Caroline and Aaron Soleimani, Melanie and Willy Cook/Woods, and Carolyn and AJ Karon. The team ended its season on a high note beating Culver City at home, 2-0. “The
good news is that both goals and assists were by seniors,” said Coach Steve Rappaport. The first goal was by Soleimani, assisted by Peykar and the second goal was by Brock, assisted by Sternshein. Rappaport summed up the season saying, “It was an unlucky season. We didn’t give up a lot of goals, but we didn’t score enough either.” The team ended the
season 9-10-4 and finished fourth in league. “It basically boiled down to one more tie or win and we would have been in the playoffs,” Rappaport said. “As Coach (Jason) Newman
said, I should have scheduled a few easier games.” The team fell 1-0 to three schools all ranked in the final top 10 for division 1. “We played well, but those loses hurt a lot.” To earn
a playoff spot, the Normans needed to finish fourth or better and with a .500 or better record. “We did the fourth,” Rappaport. “We had a lot of 0-0 games or 1-0 loses. We were in
every game.” The only exception was a 5-1 loss during winter break. “Otherwise we could have won every game; it’s tough, we came so close. The seniors leaving are a great bunch
of kids,” Rappaport said. He singled out Brock, Woods and Weissberg who “controlled the back field. I’m proud of how this team fought, and how they ended the season,” Rappaport
said. Eliminated in the next-to-last game and denied the playoffs, “my kids didn’t give up and went out and played well in the last game,” Rappaport said. “They have that to remember, they went out winners.”

Frosh Basketball Takes League Title
Wrestlers Travel To CIF Tourney
The BHHS freshman basketball team earned league championship honors by posting an 8-2
record in Ocean League play.
In addition to claiming a
league title, the team shone in tournament play, competing in
Pasadena, Manhattan Beach and
Redondo Beach, where it earned
tournament honors.
Overall the team boasted an
18-7 record, earning recognition
across the Southland.
Head Coach Joe Stern
preached a physical, up-tempo
brand of basketball, and his freshman class delivered.
The team was led by a starting
five, which included center Jared
Forman, forward Nick Reskin,
swing man Alex Rohani, and
guards Jack Ross and Kalen
Dinwiddie. The team was sparked
by consistent strong play from
Guillermo Montero III, Keimon
Downey, Joey Leifer, Kevin
Saghian and Arya Yashar, while
Andreas
Breliant,
Jack
Sternshein, Ariel Rafalian, Jacob
Rost and Chanan Batra contributed to the successful season.
“This was a deep and extremely talented group,” Stern said,
“which made for a memorable season. These players will produce
many Norman victories as they
move on to higher levels of play.”
Six members of the BHHS wrestling team will be going to the
CIF tournament tomorrow at Whittier High School.
The six include the winners of the team’s trip to El Camino
College in Torrance for league finals on Friday, Feb. 5.
Those winners who will advance are: Heavyweight Romeo
Soofani who placed first; Matt Flagel, 160 lbs., who was second
and Armand Farrokh, 140lbs. and Josh Rezvani,145 lbs., third.

The virtual Desert’s gentlemen’s uniform during the local social season--a tuxedo designed by
Armani or Rosenthal of Palm
Springs--gave way to the stylings
of a different clothier, (Uncle
Sam), as the Palm Springs Air Museum honored Maj. Gen. Kenneth
P. Miles USAF (Ret.) as part of its
black tie gala celebrating the
“Greatest Generation II.”
The invitation read “black tie
or uniform” and many of the male
guests reached into the back of
their closets to pull out uniforms
from a different era that still fit surprisingly well and attested to the
fact there is more brass in the
Coachella Valley than in a 25-cent
gumball prize dispenser.
Held in two impeccably clean
aircraft hangers on the east side of
Palm Springs International Airport,
guests were met at the canopied,
red-carpeted entrance and escorted
to the hosted reception area by uniformed military cadets and a
marching band.
It was a moving sight to see
generals and colonels exchanging
salutes as they mingled with sergeants and corporals, all of whom
had served or were serving this
country. And their commitment to
duty, pride and accomplishments
were all exemplified in the career
of Gen. Miles, the honoree.
Beginning his military career
at about the time of the “forgotten
war” in Korea, Gen. Miles has
flown 337 combat missions and
earned the Silver Star, the Bronze
Star, three Legion of Merit citations, two Distinguished Flying
Crosses, 17 air medals ... all before
managing, among other programs,
the AWACS acquisition program
and serving as the senior United
States military advisor to the Shah
of Iran, in which capacity he was
responsible for all U.S. Defense
Department activities in Iran, including $18 billion of military
sales; and this was at the time when
a billion was really worth a billion.
Gen. Miles exemplifies the
spirit of the Palm Springs Air Museum: to preserve, educate and honor those who have allowed us to be
the beneficiaries of the gift of the
“Greatest Generation”–freedom.
More information about the museum is at 760-778-6262.

If you’re a dedicated tennis
fan, you know when the Australian
Open concludes, and the ‘grumbling from down under’ ceases,
world class tennis will soon arrive
at the Indian Wells Tennis Gardens,
as the BNP Paribas Open brings
with it international excitement,
record-breaking crowds and the
best tennis on the planet.
For years we have been telling
readers the BNP Paribas Open, (and
its previous incarnations), is the
most attended tennis tournament in
the world, outside of the four major
Grand Slam events.

But this year there is a back
story that played out well before
the tournament’s first match this
year.
Larry Ellison, co-founder and
CEO of software giant Oracle Corporation, has purchased all the assets, including the total 55-acre
Tennis Garden site, for an undisclosed sum, rumored to be about
$100 million.
Ellison, who according to
Forbes, is the fourth-richest person
in the world, purchased the tournament and its assets from the previous 32-member ownership group
which included tennis legends Pete
Sampras, Chris Evert and Billie
Jean King, and majority owners
Charlie Pasarell and Raymond
Moore.
Having weathered some rough
financial times and rumors–quite
founded it turns out–of the tournament’s considering a move to Asia
or Middle East, BNP Paribas Open
is reported as having made a profit
each year since 2006.
That was the good news; but
behind the good news was the fact
that the tournament continued to receive lucrative purchase offers that
would have resulted in a move
abroad, and the investors were get-
ting restless about wanting to cash
out.
The solution: one welledheeled buyer, who according to
Moore is purchasing the tournament with personal funds, not
through his company. This fact,
plus the quality of the high-quality
of PNB Paribas Open and that “he
doesn’t need the money,” Moore
believes, will ensure the tournament remains in the Coachella
Valley.
One thing is certain: this
year’s BNP Paribas Open will be
played Mar. 8 to 21, and information is at 800-999-1585.

With markets so rapidly changing, it's easy to
imagine
how
property
appraisers might sit in a darkened room, waving their
hands over a crystal ball, and
producing the mysterious and
all-powerful document of a
home's value. Let's dispel the
notion of magical figures and
look more carefully at the
process.
When comparing against
similar properties, it's not just
the final price that counts.
Appraisers also factor in any
"incentives" offered, such as
sellers who pay closing costs or
remodeling allowances.
Perhaps the most important
factor that lenders review in an
appraisal is the closing dates of
the "comparables" (other
homes by which yours is measured).
Unfortunately, with
today’s stricter lending requirements, most "comps" must
have sold within the last 60 or
even 45 days to carry weight.
Markets change so quickly that
any sale price over two months
old may be completely irrelevant.
Now a few words about how
foreclosures in a neighborhood
affect determination of value.
Technically, appraisers shouldn't consider them, because they
don't
fit
the Appraisal
Institute's definition of "a prop-
erty reasonably exposed in a
competitive
market."
However, if several area
homes have been abandoned,
we know the negative effect
that can have on a home's
“perceived” value.
If you're planning to sell,
express your concerns about
the appraisal process to your
representative, who will offer
explanations and suggestions
for improving your report’s
results.

short sale and foreclosure

REAL ESTATE
By John L. Seitz
Despite all the doom and
gloom reflected in the overall
economy these days, business still
goes on and a new firm called R7
Real Estate has emerged on the
scene last month with some very
different approaches based upon
the reality of the 2010 marketplace.
R7 specializes in the third
party management of commercial
properties as well as commercial
leasing and project/construction
management, primarily in Beverly Hills and the Westside. Its aim
is to protect the property owners’
assets in both good and bad times
while at the same time helping
these clients and their tenants
weather the current economic
challenges.
“We’re attempting to deliver
a premium level of hospitality by
creating partnerships with our
clients, tenants and service
providers,” stated Managing Director Stephanie Abel. “Our
team’s entrepreneurial style caters
to a cross section of realty owners
from private investors—small and
mid-level—to large institutions
holding office, retail and industrial properties.”
The company’s services include accounting, consulting, cost
containment, die diligence, financial analysis and reporting, lease
renewals and operations.
The name “R7” was inspired
by two film epics: The Magnificent Seven and Seven Samurai. It
also represents the number of
partners in this boutique venture,
which was the merger of a 10year old business (C-Lease) with
a group of other highly credentialed professionals, all with deep
ties to the community.
Besides Abel, the management team includes Stan Yoshihara, chief visionary officer, and
Karnis Wong, director (all formerly of CB Richard Ellis), plus
Karinna Cassidy, president, and
Ashley Arthur, chief operating
officer (both from C-Lease), plus
Arlene Camacho, controller, who
has more than a quarter century
in corporate accounting.
“With collectively have
more than 100 years of direct
commercial real estate expertise
among us, we picture ourselves
as problem solvers, able to embrace any challenge quickly, efficiently and thoroughly.” explained Abel.
“It gives us the opportunity
to deviate from the way things
have always been done in the
past, and offer solutions specifically tailored to the needs of the
client in this ever-changing environment. After all, we’ve all been
there and done that.”
The firm’s Web site is
r7re.com and phone: 310-3737200.

was the best spot we found, it had everything we were
looking for. It’s fantastic, with the best labels (on the
block). We’re in good company."
Working with Kinmonth, his design partner Antonio
Manfreda and the architectural firm SPaCe, Missoni
created a remarkable, modernistic building that uses its
exterior facade to mimic the woven fabrics Missoni is
known for.
"We wanted it to feel like we had pulled a Missoni
sweater over the building," said Enrico Como, partner of
SPaCe Architects.
The exterior is comprised of (4") aluminum ribbons
by Marzorati Ronchetti that allow light to dance out of
two-millimeter voids between weaves.
"On the whole, people design buildings as glass so
you can see everything inside," said Kinmonth. "We
made the glass building protected so you cannot see
inside when you are outside, or outside when you are
inside. You concentrate only on the clothes."
And the clothes inside are indeed worth noticing.
On Rodeo, there is an array of swimwear, women's,
men's, evening wear, accessories
even a special edition of children’s
wear, according to Missoni.
Seven skylights inside create a
street that builds a procession
throughout the store until you come
to the end of the road: Missoni's
exclusive imprint on L.A., the home
collection.
For her L.A. customer, Missoni
said she would create "special
projects" that might include an
exclusive garment or accessory,
maybe even something in home
furnishings.
"I want to have something
unexpected and special (on Rodeo),"
she said. "I always think every shop
around the world should have
something
special.
I
hate
globalization, I want to go back to the
idea of souvenirs. So if you are going
to L.A., you can’t find it in Capri.
Otherwise, why would you enter
every shop?"
So, what's next for Missoni?
Hopefully a small boutique in
Santa Monica, said the designer.

Talks Books
Eric Puchner has written
Model Home (Scribner $26), a
novel taking place in 1985.
Warren Ziller had made some
money in Wisconsin and his
friend, Larry, convinced him, not
that there was gold in the streets
of California, but there was a fortune to be made in building housing developments. Warren moves
his wife and three children to a
gated community with a tennis
club in the Southland.
But today is the day that his
’85 Chrysler le Baron has been
picked up for lack of payments.
Warren’s home development was
built in the hot Antelope Valley
and neither he nor his partner had
been aware that a waste dump was
being built by the county. Not
only has Warren lost his investment but has poured good money,
all that he had held out, into this
losing investment. He had been
brought up with a father who lost
everything, and yet here he was
repeating the same behavior. He
has been unable to tell his wife,
Camille, who believes he must
be having an affair.
No one has been happy with
the move to California. Lyle, the
daughter, has no friends until she
starts a romance with Hector, the
Mexican guard at the gate house,
Dustin, the son, is handsome and
popular with the rich kids at
school and Jonas, who is 11, is a
mixed up kid who dresses all in
orange. Life gets worse when
their furniture is taken back and
they lose their house. Even
Hector’s mother won’t buy one of
Warren’s cheap homes.
At one point Lyle is at the
beach and pretends she doesn’t
see Hector and his mother sitting
there. He is furious and, when the
family is away from their gated
home, steals in to get even and
leaves the gas on the stove leaking. When the family returns, the
house explodes and Dustin is
burnt beyond recognition. He will
spend years in the hospital and in
surgery, but never be the same.
In the end, the family is
reduced to living in one of those
homes in Antelope Valley with the
fumes from the burnt waste permeating the house. Camille and
Lyle are living in West L.A. and
Warren is taking care of Dustin
and Jonas in the model home
while he sells a collection of
kitchen knives door to door to
make a living. In this book
Puchner has, like a Russian novelist, captured the tragedy of the
American ego with its false belief
in instant gratification and success
of wealth.
I must say Eric Puchner, an
assistant professor of literature at
Claremont McKenna College and
recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts grant, has created a 1980s version of Willie
Loman in Warren Ziller.

ASTROLOGY
by Holiday Mathis
won't have to fight for it, either. So
be patient, modest and laid-back.
When it's your turn, you'll step up
and deliver with great charm.
ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19).
There's a temptation to put the cart
before the horse. It's great to superimpose yourself onto your fantasy future, but you still have to do
the work in the present in order to
get there.
TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). If
you're too careful, you won't be
able to accomplish what you need
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Feb.
19). You will show the world that
there's even more to you. You increase your self-discipline and become stronger emotionally, physically and financially. March
brings a new and influential friend
into your life. June introduces a
different line of work. September
features family additions and celebrations. Aquarius and Virgo people adore you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). You'll
get your moment to shine, and you

for
your
to do. Make “quick and dirty”
your mantra. You'll be amazed at
the quality of work you can put
out when you just let yourself dive
in without a care.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Find the time to write something
down about your day. This turns
into an adventure as you uncover
thoughts and feelings you didn't
even know you were having. What
a discovery! Like a treasure
tucked away in a mysterious cave.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You're a bit of a provocateur these
days. Make this work to your advantage. Create a stir just for you.
Get some hype going for your
project, business or personal interest.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). As a situation grows more convoluted by
the hour, you're finding it increasingly difficult to keep your mouth
shut. You add your two cents and
it amounts to a lot more than that.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Someone is trying to impress you
with status. Too bad this person
hasn't figured out that you could
care less about how important other people think they are. You want
to connect with someone as downto-earth as you are.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There
are those around you who can't
help but stir things up. It's their job
to challenge the status quo. You
will somehow find a way to conduct yourself with grace even
when the boat is rocking.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It's
true that part of your identity is
tied to what you do. And lately
that's a big part of you. But you're
not about to let that become your
whole identity. There is so much
more to you. Explore new extracurricular activities.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). To say that you are merely talented would be an understatement.
You could become a master, with
the right training. Consider getting
a teacher. You might be able to
barter to obtain someone's mentorship.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Keep doing the right thing. You
are moving toward a state of
grace. Others can sense that you're
headed for a sweet position, and
they will want to get closer to you,
just hoping the good fortune will
rub off on them.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You may be affected by someone's
mistake or oversight. This small
slight doesn't have to ruin your
day, though. In fact, it might be
the best thing to happen to you, as
other opportunities spring up.

Mrozek stated the office

the US Attorney’s Office. “Both
profited handsomely for their corrupt services, although neither
Grasso nor Rizk benefited in the
same manner as the main fraudsters. Grasso and Rizk were, in a
“big picture” view, similarly situated in the fraud scheme, and
should receive comparable sentences from this court.”
The office is also objecting
to Grasso’s request for home detention, said Mrozek.

to the very people that make and
implement educational policy her
in the City.
Called a night of “appetizers
with no main course” by emcee
and BHEF Vice President of Development Jonathan Prince, questions ranged from the simply answered (“Why is there so much
homework?” “What is Moreno or
continuing education?”), to more
complex issues including perceived administrative instability,
the necessity of tutors at all grade
levels, constant negativity within
the district and at Board of Education meetings and whether or
not the district’s move into basic
aid funding is truly a benefit to
the district.
Questions also included the
sometimes tumultuous transition
quer” in a culture of excellence.
Board member Myra Lurie
said that by allowing students to
learn from their mistakes and take
home exams, the need for tutors
might be minimized.
Another slightly contentious
issue was the impending potential
for teacher layoffs at all school
sites. Parents and students fear
that the quality of programs, or
even the programs themselves,
may suffer or be entirely cut with
each teacher reduction.
Teen
moderator
Nikki
Sedaghat commented that the
broadcast journalism class, which
also provided televised coverage
of the event via KBEV, has greatly lacked continuity and quality
as new teachers constantly rotate
in.
“We made it a point that we
will not cut programs,” said
BHUSD Director of Human Services Alex Cherniss. Cherniss
also explained that layoff notices
are issued based on teacher seniority and not recommended if the

“It isn’t necessarily the
coursework (that makes the transition difficult),” said Beverly
Hills High School Principal J
Guidetti, who suggested that connecting to an activity, utilizing intervention, using the available
counselors and perhaps attending
summer school might help to ease
student anxiety.
A hot button issue for the audience was the increasing necessity to employ private tutors.
“It’s a fact of life,” said
BHUSD Superintendent Jerry
Gross. “The bar is so high in high
school and the competition is so
stiff at the college level.”
El Rodeo Principal Pat Escalante suggested that tutors were

A series of questions were
posed regarding the status of
Measure E, the $334 million facilities bond voted into effect by
residents in November 2008.
“We’re attempting to get this
train back on the rails,” said Manaster. “We think it’s important to
have an advocate for ourselves,
for our tax payers and for our district. That means we need a facilities director employed by the district and a permanent Superintendent. I would look to see some action in the next 90 days.”

event will be available in coming

COC
According to the COC, the
Board of Education has already
drawn $72,044,664 from the total
$334 million Measure E bond, approved by voters in November
2008.
“What is a concern right now
(to the COC), is that the School
Board has drawn $72 million and
we have no projects,” said COC
President Les Bronte. “If it doesn’t get spent, it goes to arbitrage.”
Of the $72 million-plus draw, the
district has spent a little less than
$8 million.
Per the COC’s report, the district has completed only small
projects, including the demolition
of the Horace Mann Building E
Annex, structural testing at all
five sites and begun consultation
for new entry building projects at
Beverly High, but not much else.
The COC also raised concerns regarding the lack of a clear
and specific master plan for the
Measure E building plans and
goals.
“The COC is concerned that
architectural firms have been engaged to perform work and paid
over $4 million to design buildings without a clear vision and
plan put forth to the citizens of the
community,” said the report.
The COC notes that by sitting
on Measure E monies, as the district is doing now, the district will
not be able to utilize discounted
construction rates currently in effect, thanks to a down economic
climate.
Other concerns include the
on-going litigation with Strategic
Concepts LLC, the company
charged with helming the construction management of the bond
monies, and payment for potential
settlements.
According
to
Bronte,
BHUSD attorneys advised the
board that any and all monetary
action the court may decide to
take not in favor of the district or
costs of litigation can come from
Measure E funds.
“It is the belief of the Committee that Measure E funds
should not be used for current litigation or to pay any and all settlements, legal fees and costs associated with it,” said the COC.
Bronte does note: “There has
been no outright misappropriation
of funds in our view. We believe
that the Measure E bond money is
going to be spent totally for the
benefit of all campuses and we
feel that they won’t spend all $334
million.”

SHEEP TO BE SHEARED
This past Tuesday, Beverly Hills greeted our new City Manager
Jeff Kolin (formerly of Santa Rosa) at a very nice gathering featuring many former mayors and a few guests to make sure that he feels
welcome. He is in fact very welcome in our City. We respect those
who serve in City administration and reward that service very well.
We are proud to do so and it is our way.
Kolin did not have to wait long to be treated like one of the
family. At Tuesday night's City Council meeting, he had to face the
consequences of a tricky maneuver foisted on the council by the
Rod Wood staff in order to drag more money out of us. The immediate issue was city parking fees.
Immediate past City Manager Wood drove City revenues to
new heights and always bragged that his motto was, “You’ve got
money, I want it.”
One thing that really got to him was “free” parking. When the
council restored our cherished two hours free parking two years
ago, instead of promoting that fact to the retail and dining public,
not one word appeared anywhere touting our many free lots and the
convenience of shopping in Beverly Hills. Through various agencies, the City spends over $4 million a year promoting Beverly Hills
in one way or another, yet not one word about parking. Neighboring
Century City, The Grove, Beverly Center and Santa Monica all feature free parking and promote it heavily. Not one word from us.
Why? A subject for another day.
But getting back to Kolin and his initiation into City politics,
City parking staff slipped by the council a plan to raise parking fees,
charge people to “pay to pray” for parking near churches, temples
and synagogues, and took away all free parking at the new Beverly
Gardens/Montage structure that was approved by the voters with
free parking in mind.
Who did this? Director of Parking Operations Chad Lynn was
apparently the ring leader. It was Mayor Nancy Krasne who spotted
the maneuver. Other council members had no idea they had rubberstamped this back-door reversal of City policy at the previous council meeting and were appalled when they found out. Krasne tells us
she caught the scheme when she read the actual resolution she was
asked by staff to sign. She refused. Game over.
[It must be noted, as we did in last week's edition of The
Courier, that Wood was just named “city manager of the year” by
his peers. That is an extraordinary honor and we congratulate him.
But we're not sure that means he was recognized for being good for
residents and businesses, or that he is admired by his fellow bureaucrats for extracting as much money as he could from all of us
sheep.]
We are encouraged by the different attitude expressed so far by
our new city manager. We are optimistic that he will stop the “hide
the ball” game played so often by his predecessor. Beverly Hills
generates huge funds for the city government. It is enough already.
Tell staff to “live within our means.” Stop driving businesses away
(just look at our vacancies). Stop taxing and charging the people and
businesses every chance you get. We hope that matters of money
and other significant issues will be brought forward well in advance
of council votes and that the citizens will truly get a fair chance to
learn what happens before it's a “done deal.”
We will not be sheep. We don't like being sheared.

SUPER SENIOR OLYMPICS
The Winter Olympics Games now in progress
have motivated me to get into gym togs and stand
before a full length mirror and ponder the challenging question: why am I not up in Vancouver going
for the Gold?
I flexed my remaining muscle, (I only have one
left and need it because I do a lot of sitting) and I
realized there is no such muscle called for by any of
the sports in the competition. This was a blow to
my ego. So I began to consider what great sport
could be introduced as early as the Summer
Olympics which would call for the exercise of my
Gluteus Maximus.
First of all I do believe there should be a category called “Super Seniors” for the growing number of people 90 years and older.
The first contest involving the Gluteus
Maximus would require little equipment. Ten rocking chairs would do it. To qualify contestants who
present the proper age credentials would be clocked
for how many minutes it takes them to rock 500
units (back and forth).
Contest two would be the 100 yard amble, limited to the top 10 qualifiers. From a standing start
they would amble down the course, trying to break
the record of 15.27 minutes set by “Speedy” Joe
Rappoport in 1936 in Berlin. The record was contested on the basis of his having been pursued by
some Nazi Storm Troopers, but it still stands until
today.
The final contest would be the “Wheelchair
Relay.” 16 “wheelies” in four teams of four would
pass the batons every 100 yards, and the final
homestretch would decide who gets the Gold
Wheelchair, the Silver and the Bronze. The roar of
the crowd would be enormous as the medics rush
out to claim their patients.
Perhaps there will be a ”Super Seniors” division in 2012. If so, I am applying right now, and if
I don’t make it, please start without me.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
I have tremendous respect for
Richard Stone as someone I have
called on for counsel as a past president of the School Board and past
mayor of our City. While I agree
with Mr. Stone that our district has
slipped and educational excellence
should be the priority here, I think
it is important to read all the articles which have appeared in The
Courier regarding the state of our
district to get a full picture of the
situation.
First, it is 80 percent not 85
percent of our budget dedicated to
staff salaries and benefits.
Second, Dr. Jerry Gross provided the entire School Board a formula for determining the amount of
additional funds that would be
available for resident students without opportunity permits. Based on
his formula, it is $5 million for the
2010-2011 school year. This figure was reported in The Courier
and at a regular scheduled board
meeting so to say no figures have
been presented is just not accurate.
Third, I continue to maintain
teacher layoffs should be the lowest
priority for cuts in our district, not
the top priority. As a basic aid district, less students does not necessarily mean fewer teachers--this
was also reported in The Courier.
Fourth, if we were not a basic
aid district, BHUSD would be
looking at $3.5 million in additional cuts for the current school year,
and more than $5 million for the
2010-211 school year, as reported.
Fifth, close to $1 million of the
proposed $1.3 to $1.6 million in
cuts is the result of accounting
errors made by the administrative
staff (no longer employed by the
district), as reported.
Sixth, resident enrollment is
up, as reported.
Seventh, lower total student
enrollment because of non-renewal
of out of district permits means
smaller class sizes, lower counselor
to student ratios and the ability to
redeploy teachers to provide more
support for struggling students,
provide additional course offerings and restore program cuts
made by previous boards. This
would be a good first step in putting us back on track towards
excellence in education.
I also believe what this community wants and deserves from
its current and former elected
officials is honesty and integrity.
All of the points listed above can
be verified by third parties,
whether it is the staff of The
Courier, Los Angeles County
Department of Education or the
Department of Education for the
State of California.
I look forward to working
with Mr. Stone and the entire
community on our common goal
of returning BHUSD to its place
among the elite public school districts in the nation, as it was just
over three decades ago.
Brian David Goldberg, PhD
******
It is disheartening that Jerry
Gross, the BHUSD's interim
superintendent, has yet again
managed to cast Beverly Hills
and our schools, in a less than
favorable light.
It wasn't enough that he had
his hands fully entrenched in the
Measure E, Strategic Concepts,
LLC debacle, or did a less than
lackluster job defending a smear
campaign, during the student
permit tornado. But now with
reckless abandon, he has managed to give the BHUSD and
our community, another great big
black eye .
With what appears to be a
personal agenda guiding his poor
decision making, Mr. Gross
altered the grade of a student at
BHHS. Does he have the right to
unilaterally do this? Does he
wield unbridled and unchecked
power? Is he like the president
while exiting the oval office,
granting pardons? With the
BHEA doing a thorough investigation, and with Mr. Gross ignoring all attempts to prove the grade
appropriate, he determined the
teacher was in error. Really?
Yes, we all agree we need
change, and we want change, but
not this kind of change. Mr.
Gross is being paid $1,100 a day,
and we have two assistant superintendents also on staff.
I am sure I am not alone
when I say pick either one to sit
in while you find a permanent
replacement. We could save
some money which will definitely come in handy, in the wake of
Mr. Gross' departure, and all the
lawsuits pending, as a result of his
visit. Oh, and kudos to the
teacher who stood steadfast to a
higher committment. I admire
your integrity.
Red Richmond

Kerry Hersch Berger’s recent
letter (Feb. 5) described the wonderful City of Beverly Hills years
ago. Every word was true and the
same could be said about our state
and country.
People in foreign lands were
not plotting to come to the country to blow up buildings and kill
citizens.
No one else spends zillions
of dollars on an army, navy and
air force which tries to police the
world for the protection of everyone and to help after earthquakes
and other disasters.
The citizens of Beverly Hills
can only control what happens
locally. Hopefully, we can continue to protect the standards we
have set for our schools, business
district and our tree-lined residential areas.
