ADOPTION OF THE FINAL MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR

THE BEVERLY HILLS DOG PARK PROJECT

The City of Beverly Hills has prepared a Mitigated NegativeDeclaration (MND) for a proposed dog park located at the south-east corner of the intersection of Foothill Road and Alden Drivein Beverly Hills. Mitigation measures have been identified toreduce potential impacts associated with Air Quality, CulturalResources, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, and Noise to a lessthan significant level.

The proposed project would involve demolition of an existingasphalt-capped surface parking lot and construction of a new off-leash dog park on the site, with possible internal separation bychain-link fence to differentiate areas of use for large and smallanimals. The project would involve improvements including newsurface materials; benches; shade canopies; trash receptacles;water fountains; and related basic support needs.

This project is being assessed in accordance with the authorityand criteria contained in the California Environmental QualityAct (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmentalregulations of the City. The City prepared an Initial Study todetermine the proposed project’s potential impact on the environ-ment. After reviewing the Initial Study, the City determined thatthis project may have a significant effect on the environment, butby implementing certain mitigation measures, the project’s poten-tially significant effects could be reduced to less than significantlevels. Accordingly, a Mitigated Negative Declaration has beenprepared.

The MND was previously circulated for a 20-day public reviewperiod, from July 31, 2015 to August 20, 2015. Responses to thecomments received during this time will be provided in the FinalMitigated Negative Declaration Document.

By Laura ColemanFor two years, documentary film-

maker Amy Ziering, who grew up inBeverly Hills, went around the countryrecording the stories of military sexualassault victims. The result, 2012’s doc-umentary The Invisible War, garneredan Academy Award nomination andprecipitated reforms intended to curbsexual assault in the U.S. military.

But even if her interviews withthose victims had not ever been used tocraft the groundbreaking film, Zieringlearned that the process of sharing theirstories had been truly cathartic forthose whom she spoke with; those whotime after time when they finished toldher: “Thank you for listening.”

The importance of bearing witnesscannot be minimized, Ziering said atlast Thursday’s Maple Counseling Cen-ter’s Light Up The Night Gala, whichwas held in the Montage.

Ziering, whose documentary TheHunting Ground about rape on college

campuses was released earlier thisyear, was honored by the Maple Centeralong with actor Trai Byers andsinger/songwriter Aimee Mann for theircontributions to mental health aware-ness in the community.

“Raising mental health awarenessis bringing attention to something thatis often fraught with stigma,” saidMaple Center CEO Marcy Kaplan.

For the past 43 years, in addition toserving as a resource for mental healtheducation, prevention, and interven-tion, as well as crisis support, the non-profit community mental health centerhas provided low cost psychologicalcounseling for people in need. Lastyear, the Maple Center provided30,000 hours of counseling to 3,500people.

“All of us at some point need help,but would have no place to go if itweren’t for the Maple Center,” saidTemple Emanuel of Beverly Hills RabbiJonathan Aaron.

By Laura ColemanOver 70 years ago, the Holocaust

ended and the world became aware that6 million Jews had been systemicallymurdered for one simple reason: theywere Jewish.

At the start of Sunday evening’s LosAngeles Museum of the Holocaust 2015gala “The Legacy of Woman in Gold,”actress Helen Mirren reminded those inattendance in The Beverly Wilshire ofthe need for “present witnesses.”

This year’s gala theme, (a nod toWoman In Gold, in which Mirrenplayed the Austrian American Jewishrefugee Maria Altmann who successful-ly recovered family artworks stolen bythe Nazis, including a Gustav Klimt por-trait of her aunt), was particularly fittingbecause like the film, the museum is in-tegral to preserving the memories of thepast. The museum, whose permanentcollection contains some of the mostvaluable Holocaust materials in the

world, last month opened the exhibit“Woman in Gold” with additional rarememorabilia.

“Our memories of family, our iden-tity, our culture, as expressed by ourfamilies, is what makes us able to carryon through the world,” Mirren shared.“The film (shows)...the cruel brutal tak-ing away...not just of lives...but of peo-ples memories.”

“As time travels on and as we aresadly losing that generation...we needthat present witness,” she added.

Today, there are far too few remain-ing Holocaust survivors, and thus, itfalls on us to be the witnesses to the wit-nesses, to carry on their legacy and ed-ucate others about the truth of the Holo-caust. Since 1961, LAMOTH, whichwas founded by Holocaust survivors,has partnership with schools, communi-ty organizations, artists, filmmakers and

The controversial megamansionhas been a thorn in the side of Bel-Airresidents for the better part of the lasttwo years.

The nearly 30,000 square foothome, designed by celebrity developerMohamed Hadid, has come under firefrom City officials, thanks in large partto the tireless work of Joseph Horacek,a neighbor who lives directly below the

project.After months of documenting pho-

tos and video of illegal work beingdone at the project, the LADBS finallycracked down in earlier this year, re-voking permits and demanding the re-moval of all unapproved construction.

The case was forwarded to the L.A.City Attorney for prosecution over thesummer, but the arraignment has yet tobe officially heard after a couple of de-lays.

“Sinatra’s voice wentthrough range changes … ‘Thevoice itself would evolve overthe years, from a violin to aviola to a cello, with a richmiddle register and dark bot-tom tones,’ claimed journalistPete Hamill. “In the late con-cert years, biographer ShawnLevy believed he heard a tuba.”

“Sinatra was famous, ornotorious, for insisting ondoing his movie scenes in onetake. He felt that repetitionwould diminish his spontane-ity. First take was the ‘besttake.’ And as he grew in fameand power, ‘One Take Charlie’would get his way more oftenthan not, and if not he had nohesitation of walking away.”

“In 1954, Frank helpedJoe DiMaggio break and enterMarilyn Monroe’s apartment …One of the men carried a flashcamera. Joe’s marriage toMarilyn had hit the rocks …they kicked in the door, but theterrified woman in her night-gown inside was Florence

Directly and after everybaseball game at YankeeStadium, the public addresssystem plays Sinatra’s signaturerecording of Kander and Ebb’sNew York, New York, withlyrics by Bettty Comden andAdolph Green from the musi-cal On The Town.”

When bandleader HarryJames discovered Frank as asinging waiter at the RusticCabin in New Jersey, Frankjoined the James band. Harrywanted him to change hisname to Frank Satin. No way.Years later when asked aboutthe name change, Frank shotback, “If I had done that, I’d beworking cruise ships today.”

“The early evidencemight not have suggested thatSinatra’s posthumous destinywould be so prolific … he wasshrewd enough not only tosing new songs, but what wehave come to call ‘standards.’”Embraceable You, How DeepIs The Ocean, Night And Day,The Song Is You, Stormy

Kotz, a secretary by occupationwho eventually brought suitand settled out of court for$7,500.”

“Sinatra and Peggy Leeliked each other a lot – and it issaid by Sinatra’s former valetGeorge Jacobs – that they hadsex as often as possible …What we have here is PrimalMasculine and PrimalFeminine – yin yang to themax. And what deepens it isthat Sinatra also had deep vul-nerability and Peggy had realtoughness – all of whichhelped make their performanc-es so rich. No wonder theywere a mutual admiration soci-ety. They lived the whole con-tinuum of sexual energy. Yearslater, when Peggy was hospital-ized in New Orleans, Sinatrasent his plane to pick her upand bring her to her L.A.house, where he had an air-conditioning system installed.”

“Frank attractedwomen. He couldn’t help it.Just to look at him – the wayhe moved, the way hebehaved – was to know hewas a great lover and true gen-tleman. He adored the com-pany of women and knewhow to treat them.”

Barbara Sinatra contin-ues, “I’ve had friends whosehusbands were ‘players,’ andevery time the husbands hadaffairs my friends were show-ered with gifts. Well, I wasconstantly showered withgifts, but no matter what temp-tations Frank may have hadwhen I wasn’t around, hemade me feel so safe andloved that I never becameparanoid about losing him.”

2015 is hailed as the Yearof Ole Blue Eyes, the hun-dredth year of Frank Sinatra,born in Hoboken, New Jersey,

to Italian immi-grants Natalina and

Antonino Sinatra onDecember 15, 1915. Heweighed 13.5 pounds, requir-ing delivery with forceps, thatcreated severe scarring to hisleft cheek, neck and ear, perfo-rating damage to his ear drumthat he suffered from all his life.

Appraisal Event Wednesday To BenefitHeroin Addiction Vaccine Research

The Scripps Research Institute(TSRI), one of the foremost re-

search institutes in the world(www.scripps.edu) has developednovel vaccines to treat addictions.One that has proven successful be-yond expectations is the vaccine thatwill provide relapse and overdose pro-tection for heroin users.

Most deaths from heroin occurafter a period of abstinence followedby a relapse. The reason being thatthe heroin user needs the sameamount of heroin to get high as theywere using before they stopped.However the body can no longer toler-ate the high dose and the user oftendies from an overdose.

The heroin vaccine developed byDr. Kim Janda works by creating anti-bodies to heroin molecules so that,upon a relapse, the antibodies attachto the heroin molecules making themtoo big to pass through the bloodbrain barrier and they evacuate thebody through urination. The result isno high, no overdose, no death, and inpre-clinical trials, a reduction or com-plete elimination of cravings.

So why haven't you heard aboutthis? Why is the vaccine not out inthe market saving lives? The simple,but sadly correct, answer is money.Getting funding for research into adisease that many people see as achoice is a constant uphill battle.

There is also a tremendousamount of money to be made in theworld of addiction. Instead of embrac-ing this life-saving research, manypeople are afraid this vaccine will neg-

atively impact their livelihoods. The real truth is that this vaccine

is not meant to replace A.A., therapyor rehab. Since it only targets theheroin molecule it can be used withsuboxone or vivitrol or methadone. Infact, if you need an opiate for surgerythis vaccine will not interfere. Thisvaccine is another tool in the arsenalin the fight against addiction.

So many people think addictiondoesn't affect their lives. The truth is,one out of every three families eitheris or will be impacted by addiction.While there may be debate as towhether addiction is a disease or achoice, there is almost no disagree-ment in the scientific communityitself; it is a brain disease. Plus thereis a genetic component which is whyit often runs in families.

There have been many importantadvances in the treatment of addic-tion in the past few years. Yet despitethe advancements and constant pushfor education of parents and children,the rates of addiction continue toclimb. It is long past time to bring thisvaccine to the people and familieswho need it. It has global implicationsas it will reduce the spread of bloodborne diseases like AIDS and Hep Cwhich can be spread by sharing nee-dles.

Join us at our fun, fabulousfundraiser, Wednesday, Nov. 11. Allmonies raised go directly to Scripps(a 501c3 organization) to fund Dr.Janda's heroin vaccine research.

On A Tyrannical 3-Year-Old, ‘Ghosting’ After DatesQ: Dear Dr. Walfish: I’m taking a longshot here and just hoping for someadvice? I’m a single mum of two boysaged 12 almost 13 and 2 almost 3–so,quite an age gap. My eldest son is won-derful with his little brother, but this isnot returned. My little one is a tyrantwhen it comes to his big brother. He iswillful and determined— all of which Iembrace (or try to :-) however it is gettingto where my eldest son now stays at hisdad's for longer periods as he doesn’t feelhe belongs or is wanted by his littlebrother. As you can imagine this situationis killing me as I feel like I’m losing mybig boy. I've tried talking to him toexplain it’s not him; that his little brotheris willful and he loves him, but lashes out.I try to discipline my little one and havezero tolerance when he hits his big broth-er, but it’s becoming like a battle stationso I can understand my older son stayingaway. I would be so grateful for yourthoughts. Mary from the UK.

A. Dear Mary: Your situation soundsaggravated by you needing strong parent-ing education/input regarding how tosocialize a toddler. An almost 3-year-oldsimply should not be given the power torun his family. You have inadvertentlydone so. Unless there is something devel-opmentally or neurologically wrong withyour youngster and his constitution can-not stop himself from aggressing upon hisolder brother, then it is a discipline issue.

Make an appointment with your pedi-atrician to first rule out any neurologicalor physical reason for his behavior. Then,ask your pediatrician for a referral to agood child psychologist who can help youlearn better discipline strategies with yourtoddler and repair communication andthe bond between you and your almost13-year-old son.

Q. Dear Dr. Fran: I‘m 25 and online inthe dating scene. I am awkward when Imeet a girl I clearly know I don’t want tosee again. I don’t know what to say ordo, so I find myself just disappearing.Can you give me some suggestions forhow to get out of those sticky situations?

Max M.

A. Dear Max: “Ghosting,” or never con-tacting you again after a date, is truly thehardest response for someone to dealwith. It is felt as an abandonment andrejection.

A blank screen, or non-response,leaves us nothing but the worst to projectonto the blank screen. In other words, it’shuman nature to think there is somethingwrong with “me,” and that is why he did-n’t call again.

The best things to say to someone ifyou know you’re not going to call again issomething along these lines: “You are alovely person, but I feel we are not theright match (or fit).” If the person persistsby asking why or pressing to try again,you can say, “I’m not comfortable goingforward.” No decent, caring person candispute your comfort level. If they do,you can point to that as the reason whyyou wouldn’t be prepared to proceed in arelationship.

some homes in the community.Hacker, who has long been in-

volved in some form or another in vari-ous City Council and School Boardcampaigns, finally took the leap to runfor office herself this year and success-fully ran on a campaign of independ-ence and fiscal responsibility. Hackerhas spoken strongly of the need for theimplementation of a District Plan andfor Beverly Hills Unified School Districtto model itself after more successful dis-tricts in Los Angeles.

Spitz, a former boardmember forseveral years in the 1970’s, carried hisstrong voter-base to re-election afternearly 40 years out of office. Spitz hasstayed involved in community andschool affairs since then and hopes tostrengthen the District’s financial stand-ing.

Said Spitz: “I am humbled by thetrust placed in me by the voters, and Iwill do my utmost to merit that trust.During my term of office there will becomplete transparency and opennesswith the community. My constant ob-jective on the school board will be toachieve consensus on plans and proce-dures to improve the organizational andfinancial condition of the District, andto enhance the educational program.”

Margo, a former teacher, won re-election with his “Education First!”campaign which aims to improve per-formance in Beverly Hills classrooms.

"I am honored to once again havethe opportunity to serve the studentsand stakeholders of this district,” Margotold The Courier. “It is gratifying that

this community recognized my inde-pendence, my integrity and my unwa-vering advocacy for putting educationfirst."

As a boy, Samson collected postagestamps (a hobby he continues today),and drew cartoons and paintings. Whilein his third year studying engineering atNortheastern University in Boston,Japan bombed Pearl Harbor and he im-mediately felt compelled to fight on be-half of his country. Samson enlisted inthe Army on Feb. 15, 1942, where hesubsequently trained at the Enlisted Re-serve School before joining the ArmySignal Corps Electrical where he helpedset up radio stations. Although trainedas a sharpshooter, it was his technicalexpertise that made him so valuable.

“I’m proud of my Army career,” herecalled. “People today don’t rememberWorld War II.” He sure does. It was anera of hand-to-hand combat which heendured two battles while in Germany,both in the Rhine and the Bulge.

And when the U.S. dropped thebomb in Japan, thus ending the war,was running a radio station from Gen.Douglas MacArthur to command. Afterseveral months in Europe, he arrived inCalifornia via boat, and decided toforego the opportunity to become an of-ficer in favor of civilian life. For a brief

spell, he rented a room in Bellflower for$6 a week nearby a shop where hefound employment bending dies.

Samson decided the Golden Statewas home and phoned his family that hewas coming to get them and they wouldall move out to California.

The family subsequently bought a$17,000 house in Larchmont Villageand together with his father, Walter,opened American Cutting Die Companyin Commerce, which he ran until 15years ago. Then one day in 1962 hewent to a backyard party in Beverly Hillsfor a man who was running for CityCouncil; Walter was dressed in a tuxedo(having served as best man in a friend’swedding earlier in the day), when hemet Ilene.

“I fell in love at first sight,” he saidof the woman who captured his heartand to whom he has now been marriedfor 53 years.And while their romanticnights spent dancing at The BeverlyHilton’s Star on the Roof to a live bandare now a thing of the past, the longtimecouple currently enjoys spending timeat Beverly Canon Gardens or with theireight grandchildren.

“Beverly Hills really means every-thing to me,” he said. “It’s the best placein the world. We’ve got the weatherhere –everything I need now is in Bever-ly Hills.”

that Venoco must have the site cleanedup by Mar. 31, 2017.

The letter states: “Up until that time,Venoco had a good faith belief that thelease would be extended.”

In January, The Courier attended anad-hoc committee meeting at City Hallof Mayor Lili Bosse, CouncilwomanNancy Krasne, Board of Education VPHoward Goldstein and BoardmemberNoah Margo where the elected leadersmet with City staff to discuss ways tosupplement the loss of oil well revenuefor the school district. Present as wellwere Venoco representatives who snick-ered during the meeting, talked amongstthemselves while City and district lead-ers were speaking and generally gavethe appearance that what the electedleaders were saying quite clearly (i.e.“The lease will not be extended.”) wasup for debate.

On a daily basis, the City’s one op-erational oil well sucks roughly 300 bar-rels of crude oil from beneath theground at BHHS. Even at today’s dra-matic low trading value of $45 a barrel,that averages out to around $5 millionof annual income for Venoco.

In 2011, the City passed an ordi-nance prohibiting oil extraction fromwithin the City, but allowed the BHUSDto continue its lease with Venoco. Ac-cording to City officials, it is entirely upto the school district whether or not toextend the lease.

“We know the board’s wishes; to getour land back and have them leave thepremises,” affirmed SuperintendentSteve Kessler.

At January’s meetings, Venoco rep-resentatives estimated that the remedia-tion process would take significantlylonger than their contract’s three-monthprovision. Kessler said that it is estimat-ed to take a year to remediate the prop-erty, which is why the district is makingsure the process stays on track.

In an email to Kessler, Vinnick high-lighted to the district leader that “con-spicuously absent” from the letter is arepresentation that Venoco will complywith the section of the lease that statesabandonment and remediation must becompleted by the end of 2016.

Vinnick, a BHHS alum, previouslyserved as the lead attorney for the dis-trict after Erin Brockovich filed a lawsuitalleging the BHUSD was harming stu-dents by allowing an operational oilwell on the campus.

“Venoco is trying to delay cleaningup our site and returning it to districtcontrol per the terms of our lease agree-ment,” stated Board President BrianGoldberg. ”I have fought hard to ensurethat the oil drilling is stopped as soon aspossible.

The drugstore chain proposed theinstallation of six potted trees in theparking lot, painting the parking stair-well and lower level, replacing lightbulbs and enhancing security with un-manned cameras.

Complaints that lines at the phar-macy mean 30-45 minute waits, thatparking would be more difficult withpotted trees and no less uninviting onthe lower level with new light bulbs andunmanned cameras, Gordon was the

“Get the store to improve what theyhave before they put in another medicalfacility,” suggested Gordon. The Coun-cil agreed, referring to it as “six treesand a paint job.”

Though discomfort over the medicalmodel was expressed, both Mayor JulianGold and Councilman Willie Brien ex-pressed support for the doctor-light clin-ic as a cost-efficient alternative to doc-tors, emergency rooms and urgent carevisits for minor health issues, such ascommon colds and flus.

football team picked up thesecond win of the CharlieStansbury-era on Friday,knocking off visiting SantaMonica 25-17 on homecom-ing night at BHHS.

The win certainly didn'tcome easy for the Normans (1-8, 1-3), which opened up an18-0 lead early in the game be-fore almost watching it slipaway.

Solomon Nwankwocaught a Jake Wolken touch-down pass early in the first halfand scored twice more in thehalf on a touchdown run byRashard Ysaguirre and aWolken TD pass to PJ Goolsby.

Santa Monica was able tocut the lead to 18-7, but theNormans re-opened the leadback up in the second half on

a Joe Kolko TD run in thefourth quarter.

Both teams entered thegame winless, but Santa Moni-ca picked up its first win of theseason last week after it waslearned that Lawndale, whichhad previously been undefeat-ed in league play, would haveto forfeit four victories becauseof its use of an ineligible play-er.

The Normans defense wasstout Friday, forcing SantaMonica quarterbacks into fiveinterceptions.

The Normans close out the2015 season tonight at CulverCity (6-3, 3-1).

With Lawndale’s forfeitureof four wins, Culver City nowfinds itself in the drivers seatfor the Ocean League title andcan clinch that crown with awin over BHHS.

Michael Armand Hammer Elected To ThePetersen Automotive Museum Board of DirectorsBy Laura Coleman

When the Petersen Auto-motive Museum reopens nextmonth, it will usher in a wholenew era for car-lovers. Thanksin part to newly elected Boardof Directors member MichaelArmand Hammer, the museumwill also elevate automobilesto artworks in a manner thatwill be accessible to all whovisit.

“We’re rebranding the mu-seum,” the noted philanthro-pist and Hammer Museum co-founder explained to the Couri-er. “We’re trying to find a wayto get people who never getinto that museum.”

Within the Armand Ham-mer Foundation Gallery in thetransformed museum, whichopens to the public Dec. 6, vis-itors will have the opportunityto explore (for its inaugural ex-hibition) automobiles from the1920s and 1930s alongsidecontemporary works of artfrom Hammer’s collection,such as a Monet or a Renoir,

while simultaneously viewingold film reels about what washappening in the era. Hammersaid he is in talks with BeverlyHills jeweler Michael Kazan-jian to loan iconic pieces fromhis collection to the exhibit.

“It’s an opportunity toshow that cars are more thanjust cars, they’re art pieces,” heexplained. “Designers of carswere real artists.”

Hammer, who drives allthe cars that comprise hiseclectic collection, first be-came involved with the Pe-tersen through the museum’sCheckered Flag 200 group.

Beverly Hills car legendBruce Meyer, one of the Pe-tersen’s founders, started theelite group 23 years ago in or-der to support the museum’sfoundation and future opera-tions. The idea was to get 200people to give $1,000 a year;today, Meyer said there are 505members who give $1,500 ayear.

“Our membership is thewho’s who of the automotiveenthusiast,” he described theexclusive group which holdsmonthly events across the U.S.

Hammer’s artistic sensibili-ty is expected to help the mu-seum achieve an unprecedent-ed convergence between fineart and automobiles.

“I’ve been around art allmy life,” said Hammer, whohas been the driving force be-hind his family’s work in non-profits in Los Angeles andaround the world. “This will bean unprecedented way to con-nect fine art and automotivecreativity.”

NOTICE OF COMPLETION OFA DRAFT EIR FOR THE BEVERLY HILLS HIGH

SCHOOL, HAWTHORNE K-8SCHOOL, AND EL RODEO K-8

SCHOOL IMPROVEMENTPROJECT

The Beverly Hills Unified SchoolDistrict (BHUSD), in accordance withthe California Environmental QualityAct (CEQA), is the Lead Agency andhas prepared a Draft EnvironmentalImpact Report (EIR) for the projectidentified above. The Draft EIRincludes a project description plusan analysis of potential adverseenvironmental impacts that could begenerated from the proposed proj-ect. The BHHS and El Rodeo K-8School were opened in 1927, whilethe Hawthorne K-8 School wasopened in 1914. Recent surveys atthese facilities indicate the architec-tural, structural, mechanical, electri-cal and plumbing systems are out-dated, do not meet current instruc-tional requirements, do not meet cur-rent building codes, and in somecases are failing. The proposed proj-ect is designed to rehabilitate theexisting structures at each campusthrough architectural upgrades, seis-mic upgrades, mechanicalupgrades, electrical upgrades, tech-nological upgrades and plumbingupgrades. Additionally, the proposedproject includes the demolition ofsome buildings and construction ofnew buildings, as well as newperimeter fencing for additionalsecurity and access control. The pro-posed project also includes modifi-cations to existing and new athleticfacilities, and new parking facilities.Finally, hazardous materials, prima-rily asbestos and lead paint are inmany of the buildings and will beremoved, as well as soil contamina-tion at BHHS and El Rodeo, as partof the proposed project."Aesthetics, "air quality," "culturalresources", "greenhouse gases","hazards and hazardous materials",

"noise," and "transportation/traffic"are the environmental areas thatmay be adversely affected by theproposed project. The analysis ofimpacts indicates that air quality, andnoise impacts due toremediation/construction activitiesmay exceed the significance thresh-olds and are potentially significantafter mitigation. Additionally, signifi-cant and unavoidable impacts areexpected for cultural resources assome existing historic buildingswould be demolished. Trafficimpacts during remediation/con-struction activities and hazard andhazardous material impacts areexpected to be mitigated to less thansignificant. The analysis of impactsindicate that aesthetic, air qualityduring operations, agricultural andforestry resources, biologicalresources, energy, geology andsoils, greenhouse gases, hydrologyand water quality, land use and plan-ning, mineral resources, populationand housing, public services, recre-ation, solid/hazardous waste, andtraffic impacts during operationswere concluded to be less than sig-nificant.Copies of the Draft EIR can beobtained at the BHUSD, 255 SouthLasky Drive, Beverly Hills, CA90212, or by calling (310) 551-5100,ext. 2210 or at the following websitewww.bhusd.org.

LETTERS TO THE  EDITOR

AstrologyBy Holiday Mathis

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 6). Inspiration strikes this month. All youhave to do is relax and listen to others with an open mind. Perfectsolutions will come. In December you’ll fulfill someone else’s needswhile trying to fulfill your own. The new year brings romance and fire-works. You’ll be acknowledged for a professional achievement inJune. Capricorn and Sagittarius adore you.SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll get more than one chance tomake a deal, though you should know that it is more favorable to acton the first one. Fresh enthusiasm will create momentum. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Relationships are your gold. You’relike an artist creating a masterpiece of personal connection. Tonight,new ideas will pop over your head like bubbles in a glass of cham-pagne. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). In those moments when you feel lost,try to remember that even the most confident people are not certainall of the time. Pause for a breath. It won’t be long before you realizethat you know more than you thought. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You expect something else from lifethan others are hoping for–nothing better, just different. Regardless ofthese differences, your interests will coincide nicely with the interestsof those around you. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). Only time will tell whether today’s movewill bring you closer to the goal, but it won’t matter. Either youbelieved in it or you didn’t. You won’t do anything until you’reabsolutely sure you can stand behind it. ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). You need to relax, but not completely. Rightnow one eye needs to stay wide-awake, focused on your next move.Otherwise, you’ll miss a rare opportunity.TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). If you have many hobbies it’s easier tofind ways of distracting yourself from negativity. That's why, eventhough there is little negativity in this day, it's still a fine time for cul-tivating new hobbies. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You need a bigger team. This is the bottomline, the top line, and everything in between today. Get more people.You support so many! You deserve your own cheering section, too. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your fantasy life is rich now, but insteadof planning your escape to a paradise island, use the augmented pow-ers of imagination that are currently available to you to see somemagic and wonder in your current scene. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s something you used to love, follow orritualize that no longer seems to have a natural place in your life. Ithappens. You’re different, it’s different –things change. This is a goodday for moving on. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your mind drifts to things you said and didlong ago. For better or worse, these cannot be changed. When a lovedone needs you in the moment, you’ll snap right back to the now.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Venture out alone and you’ll succeed.Listen up and you’ll hear the powerful and knowing voice of yourown instinct. There’s another voice around you now, as misguided asit is prolific. Block that one out.

POLICE BLOTTERThe following assaults, burglaries, and grand thefts have been reported by BHPD.

Streets are usually indicated by block numbers. Losses in brackets.

In recent months, leaders across Los Angeles haverenewed their commitment to ending the crisis of vet-eran homelessness. As part of the effort to combat thiscritical issue, the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA)has launched a new master plan for its West L.A.Medical Center, in large part, aiming to give shelter tothousands of vets who have served our country brave-ly. For anyone in the veterans’ community, this is awelcome and long-awaited endeavor.

The discussion about land use on the sprawlingcampus cannot end at housing. Shelter for homelessveterans is a top priority, as it should be. But the truthis that we should be thinking about a multitude of usesto meet the diverse needs of more than 300,000 veter-ans in the L.A. region.

The development of permanent housing that cancoincide with an array of supportive and therapeuticservices would serve as an ideal environment for allveterans to thrive in. Creating a community that notonly offers a home, but also fosters mental healing andphysical vitality is central to a well-rounded, intelli-gent approach to land use on this campus.

Research suggests that isolated housing does notpermanently resolve homelessness, nor create the nec-essary foundation for a strong community. This is espe-cially true when considering the countless displacedveterans who struggle with mental health issues suchas PTSD. Many experts, including at the DVA, nowsuggest that holistic healing and communal rehabilita-tion can be incredibly important avenues to recovery.Therapies like meditation, recreation and communalinteraction are some of the programs the Veterans ParkConservancy (VPC) has supported alongside the DVAon this property.

VPC is committed to improving the lives of all vet-erans. We have long maintained a focus on enrichingthe mental, social and physical wellbeing of the dis-placed, disabled and the large group of retired servicemen and women who do not confront either struggle.For 30 years, our mission has been to protect, preserveand enhance the open environment of the West L.A.VA campus. By creating a socially uplifting atmos-phere through projects like the Historic WomenVeterans Rose Garden and the Hollywood CanteenHealing Center, VPC has offered a wholesome oppor-tunity to heal outside a hospital setting, and has pre-served its underlying goal to make resources availablethat can enrich the spirit and well-being of every vet-eran. Our efforts have also included maintenance tothe National Cemetery and much of the landscape out-side the 16-acres which is directly entrusted to us.

During this master planning process, we haveshared our unique perspective on enhancement of ahousing system with much-needed recreational andtherapeutic services. Our goal is to integrate these ele-ments into the larger vision of the campus’ redevelop-ment strategy to be accessed by all veterans. We are atwork on plans that will provide additional fitnessresources to veterans on campus and we are eager toput them into action.

As details of the master plan that will foreverchange the W.L.A. VA are discussed, the primary focusshould undeniably remain on shelter for veterans inneed. But we should not lose sight of the features thatwill make the difference between a bare cluster ofhousing units, and a sustainable, nurturing communi-ty. VPC is encouraged by the dialogue currently takingplace on this issue and we look forward to the ongoingdiscussion, understanding that there is much morework to be done. We are excited about the possibilitiesthat will emerge. Curtis Mack

Is anyone else bothered by the autopsy scene inthe Paley Center window? I know the CSI series hasbeen a hit for CBS, but having a pretend corpse mid-way through an autopsy in full public view is upsettingto me and probably to many others. I’ve seen enoughautopsies and pathology conferences and pronouncedenough people dead, but I’m an internist and not apathologist and the display bothers me.People walking in the Business Triangle, including

children and international visitors, shouldn’t have tosee this in the Paley Center window display. Bill Paleywas a classy man. I’m sure he’d be appalled.

Daniel Fink, MD******

What happened last week in a South Carolinaschool between a police officer and a student shouldput us all on notice. It is a warning sign of many trou-bles we need to address.

The courts have taken away so much of theteachers ability to discipline students today. Societyand the home have broken down. Respect for schooland the law has diminished and so we have the sortof incident that happened in South Carolina.

When it happens like this did, we blame thepolice and the system. No, we need to blame the par-ents, the courts, political correctness and the softnessof this country.

The officer was extreme and should be fired.However, the student who started this mess with hor-rible and out of control behavior, should be expelledfrom school and also arrested for hitting a police offi-cer.

Of course, we know the student will not be pun-ished in any way. We are afraid of the backlash itwould cause.

That my friends, is the reason we have problemslike this. It is time this country stops running fromproblems and confronting them.

What happened in South Carolina will neverhappen in Beverly Hills, as our police are too welltrained and, in fact, are a part of the best policedepartment in the country.

Our school system is second to none and ourleaders value students because they and our commu-nity demand it.

However, we must not turn away from eventsthat happen elsewhere as there are always lessons tobe learned. George Vreeland Hill

******Less than two months have passed since the

USA and its “partners” gave Iran a pass to increaseworld-wide terrorism and other destructive actionswhen the ayatollahs decide to test a ballistic missilewith the blessings of all the signatories.

Recently, The Courier published a letter of minewherein I said that Russia would never respect dealswith the USA but will with Iran. Now that theRussians control Syria, this makes them a very unlik-able and dangerous partner. Of course they had noproblem crossing President Obama’s red line.

Less than 60 days have passed since the UNallowed the poor West Bankers and Gazians to flytheir flag (although they are not a state) among thoseof “civilized” countries. This also gave a platform todecry the Oslo accord and basically make sure thatthey were “blessed” by the UN to begin again themurders of Israelí civilians.

Not only the UN and the US, but these peopleare to be blamed. These same ones decry being lim-ited in movement considering their children areyoung. All they do is teach them to hate and killIsraelis. When a 13 year old child goes out and stabsanother 13 year old and now they want their ownstate?

Unfortunately, I hope Israel has learned onceagain and plans to build a longer barrier and makesure that the East Jerusalem towns are out of Israel.

There is no reason for any human to act in thematter the “West Bankers and Gazians” are doing.

Pablo Nankin, MD******

Your articles on the Beverly Hills Post Officeremind me of my experiences with the same service.Some of my neighbors have occasionally brought memy mail delivered to them by mistake. I have donethe same for them and for people on La Peer, SwallDrive and even some streets further west. I have triedto complain about this and the delivery times whichare sometimes as late as 9 p.m.

Another issue I have had was how the mail wasdelivered. Sometimes it is placed in the mail slot sothat it all goes through and lands on a counter.

Many times some mail goes through properlyand some mail is stuck in the entry to the slot. Manytimes the mail has been folded up and placed in theslot so that it is stuck in the slot. Many times the mailhas been folded up and just placed in the openingwithout any attempt to have the mail go all the waythrough! I have not had such experiences when Iresided in Los Angeles or other cities. Why BeverlyHills? Solomon Fingold
