His 44th film opensnationwide this weekend,which we are anxious to see.Count on Woody Allen forsmart dialogue, curious char-acters, the best music (cabaretand classical) and scenic vis-tas.

Not missing a beat,Woody’s already head-over-heels busy in Providence,Rhode Island, directing his“secret” 45th. Written forEmma Stone, who stars in hiscurrent comedy, Magic In TheMoonlight, set in the 1920salong the French Riviera.

Last Thursday, Woodypremiered Magic In TheMoonlight that he wrote anddirected at Manhattan’s ParisTheatre. Dolce & Gabbanasponsored the after-party at theswanky Harlow. “He andSoon-Yi Pevin barely made ithalfway down the rose-bedecked aisle, a nod to theSouth of France’s location,before turning around andabruptly leaving,” reports theNew York Post’s must-readEmily Smith. “It was toocrowded … Woody is claus-trophic.”

In the crowd were thefilm’s Jacki Weaver, who playsa rich doyenne hooked onspiritualism and reaching outto the after-world. Colin Firth,who co-stars as a famed illu-sionist with the stage monikerof Wei Ling Soo, and EmmaStone lauded as a hotshotmedium with Colin convincedhe’ll expose as a fraud.

Woody describes Emmaas a wonderful actress, who hasthat magical feeling of being“beautifully movie star-y.”

“The biggest mystery ofall is falling in love, somethingthat is as real as it is impossibleto fully explain … a naturalhuman condition to wantthings to be a little more magi-cal,” says Emma, “and themagic in our movie is love.Yes, it just happens. It mightnot make sense logically, butthat’s what’s so magical aboutit.”

Adds Woody, “Seeingsomeone and being instantlyattracted to them is an unex-plainable thing. You try to givereasons for it: I like the per-son’s style, I like their sense ofhumor, I like their ideas, I likethe way they look – but in theend, you never really knowwhat it is because someonewith the same style and senseof humor or whatever, you arenot attracted to.

“It is so complex becausethere is something intangiblethere. I’m sure a million yearsfrom now, with computersthey’ll be able to mathemati-cally graph what is going on.But for now and for the foresee-able future, there is no proof itwill ever change. There is acertain magical excitement tomeeting somebody and havingpositive romantic feelings.”

New York premieregoersalso included Emma’s mateAndrew Garfield (who plays apriest in Martin Scorsese’sSilence), the film’s ChristinaHendricks, Katie Couric with

husband John Dolner,Christine Baranski, JeanDoumanian, Vogue’s AnnaWintour, Audrey Tautou, DanaDelany, Josh Lucas, Joy andRegis Philbin, the New YorkPost’s witty and peripateticCindy Adams. Toasting Woodyas the toast of the town, Cindytalked about Woody’s “newestbimonthly film.”

“I’m always thinking upideas,” he confided to her. “Jotthem down on anything. Apaper napkin, matchbox, stickthem in this drawer I keep inmy house … writing’s easy …three weeks … laying on mybed in the bedroom … I writewith a ballpoint pen on a yel-low legal pad. Then it’s typed.

“Maybe it won’t turnout good. Could be terrible. Ifit’s decent, we promote it.Once it’s finished and deservesto be loved, I’m thrilled.”

This past Monday, MagicIn The Moonlight screened atour Linwood Dunn Theatre inHollywood, and for the SanFrancisco premiere last week,Woody prepared this tapedwelcome, along with an apolo-gy for not being there.

“We all worked veryhard on this film, living forthree months in the FrenchRiviera, forced to have mealafter meal of French food andFrench wines. It was hell.

“I hope you have a goodtime with the movie and thatyou like what we did, but in theevent I screwed up and youhate every frame, don’t panic –I’m already at work on another

one, andwho knows,it could turnout better.”

A skedrecently byM a r l o wStern if hebelieves inm e d i u m sand psy-c h i c s ,W o o d yr e p l i e d ,“They’re theacme off r a u d s ,a p p e a l i n gonly to them o s tgullible, sim-ple-mindedpeople. Hey, like Colin Firth inthe movie, I wish they werereal …

“Wouldn’t it be great ifsomeone could predict thefuture, and that there weremore to life than meets the eye… and someone could do aséance and communicate with

someone from another world… it would add enormousspice and hope to life.

“Wishful thinking.Unfortunately.”

Zone Text Amendment. A request for a Zone Text Amendment toamend the Beverly Hills Municipal Code regarding developmentstandards for lot line adjustments. Currently, lot line adjustmentsmay only be requested when the properties involved comply withthe City’s minimum lot standards or the lots are existing, legallynonconforming and the requested adjustment will result in either adecrease or no change in the degree of existing nonconformity. Ifapproved, the Zone Text Amendment would establish a process toallow adjacent lots that are nonconforming with respect to sitearea to adjust property lot lines so that one property wouldincrease in site area and one property would decrease in site area;and

Lot Line Adjustment. A request for a Lot Line Adjustment forthe properties located at 1021 North Beverly Drive and 1054Shadow Hill Way. As proposed, the property line between thetwo sites would be adjusted resulting in approximately 12,000square feet of site area being removed from the 1054 Shadow HillWay property and added to 1021 North Beverly Drive property.

For the community of Bel -Air, July 15 was a day of impor-tant rulings.

That morning, L.A.'sBuilding and SafetyCommission held a hearingregarding a haul route applica-tion for the 10697 Somma Way.After listening to the concerns ofCouncilmember Paul Koretzand the community, rangingfrom street safety to the amountof dirt being removed, the com-mission accepted the coun-cilmember’s request and grant-ed a 45-day continuance, whileinstructing the developer andcommunity to work with thecouncil office on formulatingpotential conditions whichmight be applied for the dura-tion of the haul route.

Later that afternoon, the LosAngeles Department of Buildingand Safety issued a “Notice tostop all construction and noticeof intent to revoke building per-mits” related to the 901 StradaVechhia project in Bel-Air. Thisaction followed directly on theheels of a letter sent by Koretz to

LADBS general manager RayChan, urging him to “put a holdon all project permits and orderall work at this property to ceaseso your department has anopportunity to study the issuesraised by community members.”

In that letter, the coun-cilmember noted: “Compellingevidence has been brought tomy attention indicating that amassive residential projectunder construction at 901Strada Vecchia may have evad-ed multiple required entitle-ments and CaliforniaEnvironmental Quality Actreview as a result of misrepre-sentations in the project’s permitplans.” Koretz added that thedeveloper has appeared toignore Orders to Comply issuedby LADBS. The letter also men-tioned unpermitted grading anddemolishing and the possibilityof excessive numbers of retain-ing walls on the property, andindicated the site’s natural grademay have been misrepresentedto permit a project that exceedsthe Code’s height limit.

Councilmember Koretzadditionally cited slope failuresand landslides, and said: “It ishard to believe that a projectthat looks more like the GettyCenter than a home could havebeen built without a single dis-cretionary entitlement or publicinput. Before the aesthetics andsafety of the surrounding com-munity are further compro-mised, all construction activitiesin the property should cease,”while evidence is being careful-ly studied: “It is one thing for adeveloper to build a large homebecause the code allows him todo so. It is altogether a differentthing when the code may havebeen skirted, with an entirecommunity’s way of life in jeop-ardy.”

Building and Safety’snotice, issued hours later, statedthat: “The height of the singlefamily dwelling exceeds theheight limit as permitted by theL.A. Municipal Code,” and that,“as per the inspection records,as built, construction does notreflect the approved construc-

tion shown on the approved setof plans.” All construction workapproved under the pertinentbuilding permits was thereforeordered stopped immediately.Procedurally, the developer hasuntil July 30 to call the appro-priate people at Building andSafety to address this and pro-vide reasons why these permitsshould not be revoked; other-wise they are to be revoked onthat date.

July 15 was important forBel-Air because of what tran-spired that day, but it is impor-tant to note there have beenmonths and years of crucialeffort, as development hasintensified due to the improvingeconomy and the extraordinarydesirability of homes in thatcommunity. Ongoing construc-tion too often results in a neigh-borhood being flooded withillegally parked cars. The coun-cilmember sought and achievedan increase in the amount of redcurbs near active constructionsites, plus the parking patrol wasincreased to three per week

throughout the Bel-Air commu-nity and signage around con-struction sites was improved.When one project deviatedfrom its haul route, Koretz’office, with the help of Buildingand Safety, was able to gain sus-pension of all activity to that sitefor one week; a substantial,costly penalty for the developerand one that led to corrections.CD 5 also achieved anincreased presence of the LAPDCommercial Unit that inspectsand monitors all commercialactivity taking place in Bel-Air.The CHP has also visited Bel-Air, per the request of CD 5, toinspect the haul routes and thetrucks.

Throughout such efforts,Councilmember Koretz and hisstaff have worked closely withthe Neighborhood Council, theBel-Air Association, and otherinvolved constituents. Hethanks the community and themany who’ve been engaged inthese key issues.

In reading your(Councilmember Paul Koretz’)most recent newsletter, life isabout integrity and truth–lies areunacceptable.

1. Your office did get thecontinuance on Somma Way.The commission did not ask thedeveloper to work with youroffice and the community onformulating potential mitigatingconditions for the project. RayChan (general manager ofBuilding and Safety) offered hisoffice for mediation. The com-munity does not trust you. Wedo not want you or your officeto represent our interests. Onthe contrary, we want no morehauling routes in the hillsideand will do whatever is neces-sary to make our position isunderstood. We are willing tomeet with the developer and arewaiting for him to contact us.

2. It’s good that you took aposition on 901 Strada Vecchia.For years you have ignored callsand emails on that project. Whydo you think it’s so far along?Only the pressure and certainty

of legal proceedings made youresponsive. You were reactive,not proactive.

3. Let’s get to the biggestmistruths in your newsletter:How dare you take credit for theLAPD and CHP in the hillside!That came from my call to ChiefCharlie Beck, who knew noth-ing about the project as youroffice had failed to notify him.The police (eight members fromLAPD) were at my home withintwo days with members of theBAHA board. We then touredthe community. Their view wasthat the hills are dangerous withall the traffic from constructionprojects. One of our supporterscalled the CHP. It was not you oryour office. The LAPD and theCHP communicated with usdirectly. That is why trucks werestopped on Sunset and on the405.

In truth, you had absolutelynothing to do with any of it.Shame on you!

4. You talk about parking…While important, it is not the

central issue to this community.Earth hauling is totally out ofcontrol and that's the real issue.We're building homes, not mili-tary bases. The whole idea ofhauling routes in all the hillsidesof Los Angeles makes no sense.More than 1 million cubic yardsof dirt has been removed fromthe Bel-Air community in thelast three years. You seem obliv-ious to that fact. That's just notacceptable. Does anyone knowwhat the consequences are?During the next three years,more than 250,000 trips will bemade up and down the hills byearth hauling trucks, cementtrucks and subcontractor vehi-cles.

You are blithely unaware. Ifyou are, then you just don'tcare. If this continues, statistical-ly, someone is going to leave thecommunity in a body bag.

You approve projects with-out understanding the conse-quences they generate. We havehad enough. After the tragedieson Loma Vista, it still took you90 days to visit the hillsides! You

should have made the trip thatweek. We cannot afford yourindifference. As WinstonChurchill said: “It’s no use say-ing–we are doing our best.’ Youhave got to succeed in doingwhat is necessary and haven'teven come close.

5. Noah (Muhlstein) waswith me when all the truckswere being staged on StoneCanyon. I brought him thereafter they’d been there for aweek. No one had done any-thing until I pointed it out. Thenyou had to take those steps.Haul routes without enforce-ment, limits on the number oftrucks and real bonds for thedamage they cause are funda-mentally meaningless. Youroffice continues to advocatethis.

6. If not for the efforts of theBel-Air Homeowners Alliance,the status quo would be in placeand remediation would not havehappened. You ignore us andmention the BAHA for its effortsin what? Planting flowers? Youhave allowed our community to

be under a construction bom-bardment. The rights of thedevelopers have overriddenquiet enjoyment and the safetyand security of the residents.

I am sick of hearing thatthe developers are going to suethe city! You are our electedrepresentative and have forgot-ten whom your constituentsare. (360 Stone Canyon provesthat!)

The status quo is unaccept-able. Nor is it acceptable thatyou take credit for accomplish-ments you had nothing to dowith. Respect given is respectearned.

Our organization is work-ing to protect all the hillsidesand the safety and security ofresidents.

In our opinion, yourrecord as a public servant isabysmal. You have significantlyfailed in your responsibility toour community and all the hill-sides.

Utility relocation work in-cludes the relocation and re-arrangement of sewer, water,storm drain and electrical pow-er utilities required for the con-struction of the La Cienega Sta-tion.

The work will primarily belocated at Wilshire Boulevardbetween La Cienega and SanVicente Boulevards. It will takeapproximately 30-months tocomplete.

Two scenarios for con-struction hours will be consid-ered: One includes nighttime

work between 10 p.m. and 8a.m. (midnight to 9 a.m. duringtheatre events) and limited day-time work between 10 a.m.and 3 p.m. Monday-Friday andon weekends. The second isdaytime work between 7 a.m.and 4 p.m. with limited night-time and weekend work.

Residents near currentconstruction at Wilshire/Fairfaxhave complained at publicmeetings about the disturbancecaused by the nighttime work.

If the permits are ap-proved, construction would be-gin no earlier than three weeksafter Metro provides public no-tice to residence and business-es.

Sadka started “Teens Cur-ing Cancer” as a club at BHHSand it has recently been certi-fied as a 501(c)(3) organiza-tion.

“Our goal is throughfundraisers run by teens, wecan encourage other teens tolearn about cancer and supportpediatric cancer research,”Sadka told The Courier. “A lotof people don’t know about pe-diatric cancer, it’s kind of an af-terthought compared to breastcancer or lung cancer.”

The organization hasraised about $11,000 throughservice projects, Sadka said.One such project was a “TeensCuring Cancer Art Gallery”held last May.

Sadka called the award a“huge honor” and said he’s “re-ally grateful to the Diller fami-ly.”

“Our goal is to get this na-tionwide, and we’ve got to startsomewhere. I will be handing itdown to a younger group ofstudents at BHHS and I hope tostay in touch with them andhelp them out,” Sadka said.

Sadka said he plans to pur-sue a biomedical engineeringdegree. Born and raised in Bev-erly Hills by Jewish parents, hesaid his name translates fromHebrew to “repairing theworld.”

“One of the core values ofJudaism is to inspire others tomake a difference,” Sadka said.“I really hope other studentsdoing service projects can ap-ply that to their lives.”

TEEN CANCER(Continued from page 4)

The LADBS came downhard on the property after aneighbor who lives directly be-low the property filed a formalappeal of 901’s permits withthe city. Joseph Horacek’s ap-peal alleges that Hadid’s proj-ect has skirted numerous per-mit processes for grading andother construction-related ac-tivity, and has continuously ig-nored “Orders to Comply” bythe city of L.A. when certain vi-olations were found.

Horacek isn’t the onlyneighbor to take issue with Ha-did’s sprawling mansion. Threeother lawsuits have been filed,although Hadid’s attorneyBruce Rudman confirmed thatone of those suits was recentlysettled. The other two still in lit-igation revolve around StradaVecchia neighbors adjacent tothe property.

The two properties are up-hill from 901 Strada Vecchiaand at one point decades ago,all three were one giant parcelbefore they were split some 80-90 years ago into three separateparcels. Both of the other prop-erties share a common hillsideabove 901 Strada Vecchia andHadid’s attorney Bruce Rud-man claims that when Hadid

purchased the property, therewas an old rock wall holdingup the hillside. Hadid built anew wall, which Rudmanclaims was over the exact foot-print of the previous wall. Theneighbors disagreed, and alawsuit was filed to seek an in-junction by LW PartnershipL.P., representing the home-owner of 890 Strada Vecchiaclaiming the new wall is tres-passing on their land and that alarge eucalyptus tree at the endof their driveway had its rootscut out by 901 contractors.

The other lawsuit, filed byanother Strada Vecchia neigh-bor named Carol Cramer, in-sists that same wall infringes onher property as well, and alsoclaims that in the process of in-stalling the wall, tree rootswere cut that damaged six pinetrees on her property.

LW Partnership’s attorneyDavid Grossman told TheCourier his client did not wishto make any public commentsat this time. Cramer’s attorneyTrevor Grimm did not return acall for comment.

Hadid says in the case ofthose two lawsuits, “it’s a dis-pute over three inches. Whenyou are building, you wish theywould dispute it prior to build-ing the wall, not after.”

Sources tell The Courier

that workers showed up to the901 Strada Vecchia project siteMonday morning but wereturned away by the construc-tion manager, with signs postedby LADBS forbidding any fur-ther work to be done.

Hadid denied any wrong-doing to The Courier this weekand said that he “alwaysworked with the city of L.A.’sBuilding codes.”

“We have paid over$250,000 in fees, permits andbonds. Our commitment is tofinish the project and assist thecity of L.A. with its inquiry,”Hadid said. “All documentsand plans have been certifiedby state certified experts, in-cluding geologists, grading spe-cialists and approved by thePlanning Department and fur-ther signed off on by the citygrading inspector.”

Beverly Hills HomeownersAlliance sources told TheCourier they feel permit feescharged by the city of L.A. donot approach the cost for thecity to enforce the rules and arenot a deterrent to developerslike Hadid not applying for per-mits in advance of work start-ing.

Real estate sources tell TheCourier the home could go onthe market this fall for around$40 million.

YOU FEEL?3-year-Old Hears For The First Time After First AuditoryBrainstem Implant Surgery On Toddler At CHLA

A local team of scientistsand surgeons from USC’s KeckMedicine, Children’s HospitalLos Angeles (CHLA) andHuntington Medical ResearchInstitutes (HMRI) reported thatsound registered in the brain ofa deaf Canadian boy for the firsttime after doctors activated ahearing device that had beensurgically implanted in hisbrainstem.

Auguste Majkowski, 3, isthe first child in the U.S. toundergo an auditory brainstemimplant (ABI) surgery in an FDA-approved trial supported by aNational Institutes of Healthclinical trial grant. Six weeksafter surgery at CHLA, thedevice was activated with posi-tive results at the Department ofOtolaryngology-Head & NeckSurgery clinic at Keck Medicine.

Auguste’s surgery, deviceactivation and future behavioralstudy are part of a five-year clin-ical trial in which 10 deviceswill be implanted in deaf chil-dren under 5 and studied overthree years. The L.A. study, co-led by audiologist LaurieEisenberg, Ph.D., and surgeonEric Wilkinson, M.D., is the onlyone in the U.S. supported by theNIH.

The surgical team that per-

formed the operation atChildren’s Hospital includedWilkinson, HMRI research sci-entist and neurotologist atHouse Clinic; HMRI researchscientist and House Clinic neu-rosurgeon Marc Schwartz, M.D.,and pediatric neurosurgeonMark D. Krieger, M.D., CHLABilly and Audrey Wilder chair,division of Neurosurgery.Attending the surgery was alsoVittorio Colletti, M.D., of theUniversity of Verona Hospital,Verona, Italy, who has per-formed the most ABI surgerieson children overseas and is a

collaborator on the study.“Hundreds of children in

the U.S. can benefit from ABIsurgery,” said Krieger, associateprofessor of clinical neuro-surgery at the Keck School.“These children would other-wise never hear or develop ver-bal speech in their lives.”

Auguste was the first childaccepted into the L.A. study.Thirty-six days after surgery, hisparents watched as audiologistsMargaret Winter, M.S. and JamieGlater, Au.D., from the USCCenter for Childhood Com-

Wedo not know anyone by thisname, but he is saying thesethings and we don’t know why.He does not get spanked? Hehas a schedule and we spend alot of time with him. Is thisnormal or should I be con-cerned: When I really questionhim about it, he will later tellme our dog did it, but she hasbeen outside all day. Should Ibe concerned or is this normalbehavior? Ellen S.

A. Dear Ellen: It is developmen-tally age-appropriate for a 2-year-old to use his imagination.

Imaginative play begins for

toddlers at around that age. Thisis the reason moms and dadsgive their toddlers pots, pans,and large wooden spoons, andthe young child might beginstirring and say he’s makingsoup (or mixing a cake)!

I am more concerned bythe fact that the stories your lit-tle son is “making up” involveaggression toward him.

Here are some of the thingsfor you to consider.: Is it possi-ble that a babysitter or nannytook your son to the park andanother little boy hit or pushedhim in sandbox? Sometimes, it’shard to pinpoint exactly whereyour child met another childwho may have hit or pushedhim when he was with you outin the world.

When your child tells youthat Bryan or Ryan hits or push-es him, does he seem scared oranxious? Are there any changesin your child’s sleeping, eatingpatterns, or mood? Is anyoneyelling at your child?Sometimes, a child will catego-rize anger as hitting. Anotherconsideration is your child’sspeech and language develop-ment. Does he ever get mixed

up when trying to express histhoughts and needs? Could it bethat he’s trying to say somethingdifferent, but lands on thewords “hit” or “pushed”?

If, after exploring theseconsiderations you still feeluneasy, I suggest you reach outto your pediatrician to request areferral to an experienced childpsychologist whose expertise isgetting inside the mind of a 2-year-old. Take a deep breathand try not to worry until youknow for sure there’s a reasonto.

munication activated the deviceimplanted in Auguste’s brain-stem.

When Winter delivered tinypulses of electric current to theelectrodes in his brain, the tod-dler lifted his head indicating heheard a sound.

Auguste has been deafsince birth. At 22 months, heunderwent a bilateral cochlearimplant, which uses electrodesto stimulate auditory nerves, butthe device didn’t help him hearbecause he doesn’t have acochlear, or hearing, nerve.Auguste traveled with his par-ents, Sophie and Christophe,from Montreal to Los Angeles toparticipate in the clinical trial.

During the six-hour surgeryin May, doctors made an inci-sion by Auguste’s right ear andremoved his right cochlearimplant before implanting theABI device on his brainstem.

The ABI device has externaland internal parts. The externalparts, which consist of a proces-sor with a microphone andtransmitter, transform soundinto electrical signals and trans-mit the signals to an internalreceiver that is part of the elec-trode array. The electrode arrayis placed on the cochlear nucle-us of the brainstem.

The procedure is consid-ered revolutionary because itstimulates neurons directly atthe human brainstem, bypass-ing the inner ear entirely.

Goldberg has been vocalin his belief that Paysinger’slawsuit is motivated by hisupcoming book release thatPaysinger co-wrote with formerBoardmember Steven Fenton.

Coincidentally, the book isslated for release on Nov. 4 andis currently available for pre-order online.

Following last week’s newsthat Paysinger’s attorney hadfiled a federal lawsuit againstthe district, hundreds of com-munity members rallied in sup-port of BHHS’s first African-American principal, circulatingan online petition that as ofpress time, had gathered 421digital signatures.

“Some of the comments. . .talked about how you shouldbe recalled,” BHHS 75’ alumand petition originator MichaelSuter told the board atTuesday’s meeting.

A handful of other speakersaddressed the board onTuesday evening to advocateon Paysinger’s behalf. AlanNierob said that “thousands ofCarter supporters were asked tostand down.”

“Mr. Paysinger, the com-munity of alumni, students andstaff have your back,” DevHankin said.

Although Paysinger’s com-plaint does not specificallyelaborate on how he washarmed, the lawsuit seeks anunspecified amount of dam-ages and demands a trial byjury. Paysinger’s attorney ReedAljian did not respond to arequest for clarification.

“Mr. Paysinger used everyinternal nonpublic method toresolve his concerns regardingthe Board of Education’s cam-paign of discrimination andretaliation, but on every occa-sion the board responded withhostility, anger, and increaseddiscrimination and retaliation,creating an intolerable workingenvironment,” Aljian told TheCourier in an email.

The suit alleges thatPaysinger was “threatened,”“harassed” and made the sub-ject of discriminatory remarks,among other allegations.

Hall called the lawsuit“baseless.”

”I made no racist remarksand neither did my colleaguesas claimed in the lawsuit,” hesaid.

“There are no facts that cansupport these charges,”Boardmember Lisa Korbatovsaid. “A reading of his com-plaint reveals that Mr.Paysinger’s allegations them-selves don’t even seem to bebased on facts, but instead arebased on Carter Paysinger’s,‘belief.’ That means his opin-ion. This legalese sleight ofhand is obviously intended tocreate a false impression.Worse, Carter Paysinger invent-ed fictitious comments that Inever said solely to impugn myrecord.”

The complaint alleges that:

“Ms. Korbatov told Mr.Paysinger that ‘one of the prob-lems that you will have is thatyou do not look like what aprincipal of Beverly Hills HighSchool should look like.’”

The suit further alleges thatGoldberg said: “[Mr. Paysinger]looks more intelligent when hewears glasses.”

“The issue of the complainthas now moved from theschool system to the court sys-tem,” Board President NoahMargo told The Courier.“Unanswered questions will beanswered.”

On Monday, the BHUSDreleased a statement affirmingthat Paysinger would be inplace to open the school year.Classes are set to resume onMonday, Aug. 11.

“Some have speculatedthat the BHUSD Board ofEducation intends to placeCarter Paysinger on ‘adminis-trative leave’ as the BHHS prin-cipal for the upcoming schoolyear. This is not accurate,” theBHUSD informed parents andstaff in a message sent out viaPACE Monday afternoon.

On July 8, all five seatedboard members voted to givePaysinger a raise as part of asalary enhancement packagefor BHUSD principals andassistant principals.

Paysinger, who graduatedfrom BHHS in 1974, hasworked for the district since1979. In 2003 he won theApple Award, the district’shighest distinction.

Earlier this year the boardvoted to launch an investiga-tion into Paysinger’s involve-ment with the Beverly HillsSports Academy.

Paysinger repeatedly tolddistrict officials that sincebecoming principal he was nolonger involved with the for-profit sports camp that operat-ed during the summer.Paysinger also failed to report itin his legally requiredStatement of EconomicInterests Form 700.

Goldberg said that launch-ing the investigation, whichconcluded that Paysingerreceived financial benefits fromthe camp, was the district’s“cardinal sin.”

“This board is not racist,”said BHUSD consultantLaTanya Kirk-Carter, who notedthat as an African-Americanwoman she had experiencedracism first-hand outside thedistrict. “[There’s] no racismhere, not a shred, not a lick.Just good people.”

Margo and neophyteBoardmember HowardGoldstein are the only mem-bers of the board not named inthe lawsuit.

Goldstein likened himselfto a modern-day Don Quixote,”on a deeply personal, butquite possibly futile quest torevitalize the BHUSD duringone of its most fraught periodsin its high schools’ history.”

Previously Korbatov andGoldberg voted to make himBHHS principal.

(Continued from page 5)residents voluntarily restrictwatering to three days a week.Residents who live north ofSanta Monica Boulevard areasked to restrict their wateringto Monday, Wednesday, andFriday. Those who live south ofSanta Monica are asked to wa-ter on Tuesday, Thursday, andSaturday.

In addition, the City asksthat watering be limited to thehours between 5 p.m. and 9a.m. to minimize evaporation.The City also asks that no onewater between 11 p.m. and 6a.m. nor on Sunday.

Though not yet compulso-ry, these restrictions may be im-posed at a later date if volun-tary compliance is not enoughto reach the City’s goals.

With California facing oneof the worst droughts onrecord, Gov. Brown joinedwith the state’s Senate and As-sembly leaders to help commu-nities respond to the problems.

The state of California isspending $1 million for a SaveOur Water public awarenesscampaign to inform Californi-ans how they can help save.

The bill also paves the wayfor individual communities tofine those guilty of water wasteup to $500 a day for infrac-tions.

Voluntary restrictions haveresulted in an overall five per-cent increase, according to theWater Resources ControlBoard. Felicia Marcus, boardchair, has warned that Califor-nians should prepare for furtherrestrictions if there is no rainthis fall. The governor’s office isseeking a 20-percent decreasein usage.

Most of the state’s water us-age is in agriculture. But in ur-ban settings, landscape water-ing is the egregious.

State regulators are hopefulthat residents will respond asthey did in the 1976-77drought, when water usagedropped 20-percent. A dirty carand a brown lawn will take onnew meaning as most of thepossible restrictions will targeturban water uses, such as over-watering, irresponsible car-washing, power-washing sur-faces and using potable waterin fountains.

Residents have stepped uptheir complaints to the PublicWorks Customer Service cen-ter. The City has responded todozens of complaints of exces-sive watering, leakage andpower-washing complaints.

An automatic leak-detec-tion program will notify resi-dents if a leak has been detect-ed and urge residents to fixthem as soon as possible afternotification.

Christiansen deserves relief and dam-ages for breach of contract or if sheshould pay back the district all moneythat she and her company, StrategicConcepts, received. BHUSD’s attorneyon the suit Fred Fenster, partner withGreenberg Glusker, estimated thatChristiansen owes the district $3 mil-lion.

“We’re only about $20 millionapart,” Christiansen’s trial attorneyPhilip Kaufler told The Courier.

According to the most recent com-plaint: “The total fees which were to beearned by plaintiffs under the amend-ment, if the bond issued was approvedby voters, were in excess of $16 mil-lion.”

The jury trial is expected to lastbetween two to three weeks. Treu saidthe court would only get involved withthe interpretation of the contract if thejury finds the contracts are void.

“The issue of whether or not thecontract even exists is one to makefirst,” Treu said. “The jury may still voidthe contract.”

Opening statements could com-

mence as early as Monday afternoon.Kaufler said witnesses would be

called to demonstrate that Christiansenserved the district for five years “withan unblemished record” before beingremoved from district premises with apolice escort.

In March, Treu threw outChristiansen’s lawsuit alleging fraud,corruption and malicious prosecutionagainst former BHUSD superintendentJerry Gross, TELACU, two law firmsthat represented the district, and cur-rent and former board members MyraLurie, Myra Demeter, Brian Goldbergand Lisa Korbatov. Christiansen hadsought judgment on the pleadingsbased on the successful appeal of hercriminal conviction, which the courtrejected.

Christiansen was prosecuted bythe L.A. district attorney and fined $3.5million after a jury convicted her ofviolating a California criminal statutethat prohibits public officials fromentering into contracts that benefitthem personally. She was subsequentlysentenced to prison for self-dealing in2012. Her conviction was reversed onappeal in May 2013.

From The PublisherMARCIA WILSON HOBBS

When I was a child, our family shared the usual European foreign-born fam-ilies’ zest for pickles. I would be sent to the market by my grandmother askingme to pick out the best pickles from the barrel. I did not enjoy the thought verymuch of plunging my hand into the brine but such was my assignment and I hadto proceed.

Fortunately I was always wearing a blouse with short sleeves and so there Iwas, reluctantly fishing around in the pickle barrel in the neighborhood grocerystore and not enjoying it one whit. I gradually learned there are smooth picklesand there are those with little bumps on them. My family’s preference was for theones with bumps. These days, when everything is packaged, we are obliged tofind our pickles sealed in large jars and never get to feel them nor smell themuntil we have already purchased them in their jars. But in those days, if a fishedpickle was not to your taste, you could just put it back into the barrel for some-body else to feel. The acidic brine would hopefully kill the germs in the mean-time.

If you share my taste for pickles, you may enjoy the annual Beverly HillsFarmers’ Market PickleFest next week. On Sunday, Aug. 3, the market will host acurated pickle contest with two categories: the “Best Dill Pickle in Beverly Hills”and “I Can Pickle That!”

LETTERS TO THE EDITORCartoon for The Courier by Janet Salter

Lewis Hall would have us nationalize our education system, despite thefact he hasn't read the Common Core textbooks.

One of its major benefactors and supporters, The Gates Foundation, sug-gests a 2-year moratorium on using “Common Core assessments for criticaldecisions” and that the entire program will be administrated, overseen, direct-ed by none other than the same folks who (1) couldn't set up a website; (2)whose financial acumen managed to increase our debt and unfunded liabili-ties to 10s upon 10s of trillions of dollars; (3) caused 1/2 of our population tobe on some form of government assistance while the other 1/2 is workinglonger hours for less wages; (4) made the affordable health care act un-afford-able; (5) do such a swell job of managing the postal authority; (6) were asleepat the wheel while their own agencies committed unconstitutional acts againstthe public and our embassy was attacked.

Nothing political, Mr. Hall, but given the above, I too would be hesitantabout jumping on any bandwagon our country/s current “CEO” supports.

Regarding our book, Where A Man Stands, and the lawsuit that was filedlast week by Carter Paysinger. Brian Goldberg said in The Courier: “This is partof a public stunt to drum up support for the upcoming book release.” In theLos Angeles Times, he said: “It’s to increase interest in the book so hopefullyhe gets a movie deal out of it, make a lot of money, and use Beverly HillsHigh.”

All of this coming from a man who conveniently forgot to tell both news-papers that he’s been intimately involved with our book from the beginning.Enthusiastically, Dr. Goldberg agreed to become one of the first people inter-viewed and–for the past two years–made himself available at every turn tooffer help and support (even agreeing to go on a writers’ retreat with me tohelp write and fact check the book).

Until recently, he had been one of the single biggest champions of thisbook and for him to (now) use as a weapon to challenge our integrity is polit-ically expedient and sad.

Actually...it’s just “Brian being Brian.” Steven Fenton******

So long Robinson’s–sad to say a final good-bye and see ya go. You weretruly the last of your kind as we bid a final farewell to the end of an era herein Beverly Hills. Other big fancy stores remain, but somehow you were differ-ent. Your original store downtown at 7th and Grand was a treasure with it’sescalators that rattled up and down and the Round Robin Tearoom that mymother and I always ate at, on our lunch hour. When we got back to myfather's office, he always asked: “Did you visit Mr. Bullock or Mr. Robinsontoday?!! The pace was slower, there was always someone to help the cus-tomers and it was the same in Beverly Hills with its luxurious surroundings asyou roamed from department to department at your leisure. So thanks for allof the sweet Robinson's memories. It was great fun!

Ari Bussel of Beverly Hills has submitted this powerful treatise on thecurrent and tragic events now happening in the Middle East.

By Ari BusselSeeing the number of advertisements about Israel (JNF, Israel Bonds, ...) in the local

papers, one must surmise there is a strong pro-Israel contingency based in Beverly Hills thatis targeted by these organizations for money.

It is thus surprising that Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills, whose list of members includesmany prominent and highly respected members of our City, is co-sponsoring a panel discus-sion on the challenges facing Israel from both within and without.

The panel discussion is not by ardent supporters of Israel, rather by those usually criticalof the only Jewish state on this planet.

While Operation Protective Edge is in full swing, as Israel must deal once and for all withthe buildup of power–to the tune of 15,000 missiles with range that extends throughoutIsrael–and the strategic threat of offensive tunnels that extend from Gaza into Israel, whatwould the Jewish community do? Gather for an evening of evaluating things in Israel that arenot to their liking?

I know my neighbors and members of our community: They would do everything to sup-port Israel at her time of need. Like members of a family, they will put all differences asideand stand strong to protect the only Jewish state. They will stop all they do and think hard,what can I do to strengthen Israel at her time of need, at our time of need!

What I did not expect is for them to come to a panel discussion that will be critical ofIsrael.

One of the respected members of the panel had advocated in the past the position that itis legitimate to kidnap Israeli soldiers. He may go into an elaborate explanation why his posi-tion is valid, but to me, it is most disturbing.

With the exception of Iran and Turkey, the Arab world at large is in support of Israel andagainst Hamas. It is the Arab world that blames Hamas for shedding the blood of the womenand children of Gaza.

The head of one of the co-sponsoring organization explained to me:Ari, one of Israel's strengths is its free and open community of stakeholders that can freely

advocate, support and constructively criticize. It is this foundation of democracy that allowsIsrael and the US to stand up in the storm in which the winds of extremism blow hard. In thetree of democracy, it remains stable, against these winds, by being fed by the divergent viewsof its community.

This is a panel to hear another prospective, and in no way to bash Israel they way youallude to.

Critical to Israel, but not bashing....A shame, a scandal, a shanda!The building called the Jewish State and the Communal Tent may sustain the winds of war,

but it will not survive when people within start to disassemble its walls block by block. Onebrick at a time, until those inside are left unprotected. Then the winds of hatred and theattempts by a determined enemy to rid the world of Jews once and for all may, finally, be suc-cessful.

As the prophet Isaiah (49:17) said: “Thy destroyers and those who laid you waste willcome out of thee.”

So here is the challenge: If you want to support Israel, now is not the time to criticize her.Now is not a “new normal,” when Israel bashing by Jewish organizations is allowed to be thenorm.

Stand up, speak for Israel. Find the courage to tell your family and friends that you areeither with Israel or against her.

Those who are determined to change the world, go fight the regime in Syria, where150,000 - 200,000 men, women and children were brutally murdered and about half the pop-ulation became refugees.

Those who are still driven to do good, Iran is an interesting challenge.Or champion women's rights throughout the Arab world. And fight the persecution of

Christians in Africa and in areas controlled by Isis. Or possibly address the death of close to300 who perished during a flight, just to make a point.

Israel takes every possible precaution, that no one else in the world would even entertain,to protect the enemy's civilian population. But the enemy holds its women and children ashuman shields. It hides like rats in tunnels underground, storing its missiles under and firingthem from within hospitals and schools, kindergartens and places of worship. True “heroes”who commit crimes against humanity.

The enemy uses ambulances to transport terrorists and weapons of mass destruction.The enemy is cruel and ruthless. They care not about their own, let alone the Jews they

hate and are determined to annihilate.Celebrate and support Israel rather than look for every possible opportunity to stub her yet

again. Elevate all that Israel does and use her actions as an example. Do not sacrifice her on the alter of your lack of courage and conviction to fight the real

fights that need be fought!I expect the Beverly Hills community I know so well to stand up as one and say:

NOT HERE, YOU DO NOT. TAKE YOUR ELEGANTLY WRAPPED HATRED AND CRITICISM ELSEWHERE. WE LOVE AND SUPPORT ISRAEL.

UNCONDITIONALLY. NOW AND FOREVER.

I’M IN A PICKLE
