alongside his comrades, butthe battleground has changedand the enemy is woundedboth visibly and invisibly.

“He was riding on anincumbent bike,” said Gold,“surrounded by his colleagues.It was very impressive. Theseguys stepped up to the plate todo something commendable,not only for the soldiers, but fortheir families.”

John Wordin is the execu-tive director at Ride2Recovery.The organization began with aphone call when a sharp thera-pist thought maybe this profes-sional fitness expert and cyclistcould help his clients.

Comeback kids. Thosecockamamie road warriorshuddled on a dilapidated bike(not built for two) take over thebig screens next weekend.Zanier than ever, and raisingholy hell. Yes, you know them.Renegades we’ve met andlaughed with for 20 years fromthe 1994 cult classic DumbAnd Dumber, a boxofficesmash grossing more than$250 million worldwide.

Lloyd Christmas, alias JimCarrey, and Harry Dunne, aliasJeff Daniels, rip into Atlanta,Georgia in Dumb And DumberTo. And “get it up,” in the parl-ance of James “Brand NewBag” Brown. “Georgia folksare fun and so nice you can’tget enough of them,” admitsJim Carrey. A fashion cynosurein a sparkle-plenty Tom Fordjacket of lemony yellow pail-lettes, Jim greeted the crowd atthe Napa Valley Grille afterUniversal’s world premiere ofDumb and Dumber To inWestwood. Jeff Daniels deliv-ered his own fashion statementin a Tom Ford sparkle-plenty

powder blue blaz-er. May we allhave this fabulouswardrobe.

As fanboysexited the VillageTheater, the street

scene hangers-onrepeatedly askedhow’s- the-movie .Consensus: “crazy,stupid, funny, great… more dumb anddumber, if possible.”

Which is what the fanboysexpect from our cinemafarceurs, Peter and BobbyFarrelly, also known asHollywood’s Raunch Masters.In Dumb And Dumber To, theyintroduce new characters –Nobel Laureates, a toe-suckingbitch, and a romp from theembraceable Kathleen Turner asthe “Titanic whore!”

“Somebody had to do itand why not me?” Kathleenhowled. God love her. “Theysent the screenplay, I couldn’tstop laughing, and right off saidit’s a go. I’m probably the onlyanchor to normalcy in themovie.” Jeff Daniels claims hehad the best time “doofusing”with Kathleen – “even gettingher to laugh insanely on cam-era.” He considers her“American acting royalty.”

Partying hearty withKathleen and the cast’s RobRiggle, Laurie Holden, RachelMelvin were the original DumbAnd Dumber producers BradKrevoy and Steve Stabler. Theyare now executive producers onDumb And Dumber To. It was

they who supported, inspiredand launched the young imagi-native talents of the Farrellys,who leaped to grandiose famewith Dumb and Dumber,There’s Something About Mary(remember the “gel scene”between Cameron Diaz andBen Stiller?), Kingpin, Stuck OnYou, etc.

Brad Krevoy’s mom Cecileand dad Norm joined him,along with wife Susie (in aAzzedine Alaia frock) and theirbeautiful daughters Alex, Oliviaand Sophia. Olivia, 16 and aCourier intern, is writing inform-ative articles for The Courier.

How Beverly Hills Voted In The2014 Midterm General Election

record for the highest-priced residentialproperty in Beverly Hills with “LePalais,” listed at $58 million.

The Manor in Holmby Hills, former-ly owned by Candy and Aaron Spelling,is being offered off-market at $150 mil-lion. Coldwell Banker also listed a homeearlier this year in Hillsboro Beach,Florida at $139 million. The Versailles-inspired property on Millionaire Rowknown as Le Palais Royal, tops the for-

mer Beverly Hills home of WilliamRandolph Hearst offered at $135 mil-lion.

Hadid told The Courier, he is “superproud” of the home because “I built itfor the owners and their needs. If theywere satisfied, I am satisfied. With 25acres, an 8-acre vineyard, the theatreand everything else, you just can’t builda house like that today.”

FRESH LOOK AT WORLD OF HIP HOP—How does a petite, blonde,New York City socialite go from being head of the women’s division ofthe Anti-Defamation League (ADL), to publishing one of the first maga-zines to cover the world of hip hop music. That’s the story of GloriaGoldwater’s new book SuperFly, My Untold Story Of Hip Hop. The out-going Goldwater always secretly loved the passion, storytelling andbeat of hip hop music. “All I know is I would get up and turn on the ra-dio, hear the music and start dancing all over the place,” says Goldwa-ter. With help from her first husband, John Goldwater, creator of ArchieComics, who had national and international distribution for his maga-zines, she launched the first issue of SuperFly in February 1991, andGoldwater soon found herself interviewing such hip hop stars as BigDaddy Kane, Masta Ace, Queen Latifah and YoYo. At the recent launchof the book at the Capital Grille, are, from left: Goldwater, play-wright/producer Don B. Welch, and Goldwater’s husband, Lew Wein-traub.

‘Run For Her’ Sunday To Support OvarianCancer Research, Awareness

Run for Her is celebrating “10 yearsof teal” at this Sunday’s upcoming 5K Runand Friendship Walk to support ovariancancer research and awareness.

Motivated by her mother’s battle withcancer, Kelli Sargent started Run for Herin 2004, initially creating a marketing andoperations plan for an ovarian cancer 5krun/walk as her master’s degree thesis andthen later partnering with Cedars-Sinai inLos Angeles to create the inaugural eventin 2005. Today, it is among the largestovarian cancer run/walks in the nationwith more than 5,000 participants andSleepwalkers in 2013.

“It’s pretty surreal that in 10 years weare looking at a $1 million goal and haveraised almost $7 million to date,” Sargenttold The Courier.

Funds raised go toward the Cedars-Sinai Women’s Cancer Program at theSamuel Oschin Comprehensive CancerInstitute. Ovarian cancer is the fifth-lead-ing cause of cancer deaths amongwomen, mainly because women aren’taware of the common symptoms, includ-ing consistent bloating, pelvic pain andfrequent urination. Early diagnosis saveslives—as does raising awareness and es-sential research funds.

For more information about theWomen’s Cancer Research Institute orRun For Her, call 310-423-5800 or visitwww.runforher.com.

The event takes place at Pan PacificPark - 7600 Beverly Blvd. Registration be-gins at 7 a.m. with opening ceremonies at8:30 a.m.

GETTING READY TO RUN—Leading up to the Sunday’s 5K Run and Friendship Walk apilates event was held at The Grove with support from with Pilates Platinum and BurnThis.

CHLA Researchers: Obese Youths WithLeukemia Have Worse Outcomes

Obese youths with acute lym-phoblastic leukemia (ALL) are known tohave worse outcomes than their leancounterparts. To find out why, investiga-tors at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles(CHLA) studied patients who were obeseat the time of their diagnosis with ALL todetermine if body mass index (BMI)impacted response to initial chemothera-py. This response to initial chemotherapy(or induction therapy) is measured by theabsence of leukemia cells in the bonemarrow. Called minimal residual disease(MRD), in which residual leukemia cellscannot be seen under microscope butcan be detected by more sensitive meth-ods, it is among the strongest predictorsof long-term survival and disease recur-rence. As reported in the journal Blood,

following induction chemotherapy,obese patients were more than twice aslikely to have minimal residual disease,than non-obese patients.

“Induction chemotherapy provides apatient’s best chance for remission or acure,” said principal investigator Dr.Steven Mittelman of CHLA’s SabanResearch Institute. “Our findings indicatethat a patient’s obesity negativelyimpacts the ability of chemotherapy tokill leukemia cells, reducing the odds ofsurvival.”

The study looked at 198 patients,diagnosed with ALL and between theages of 1 and 21 years. Each patient’sBMI was converted to a percentile andclassified according to CDC thresholds

(see ‘LEUKEMIA,’ page 15)

In a 100-square-foot office on NorthCamden at the corner of Santa Monicathere is a special team working to savethe lives of women in developing coun-tries through cervical cancer screeningsand treatments.

CureCervicalCancer.org (CCC) is a501c3 non-profit organization foundedin October 2013 with the mission state-ment: “Dedicated to the early detection,treatment and cure of cervical canceraround the globe for the women whoneed it most.” Founder/Executive Direc-tor Dr. Patricia Gordon, MD, a BeverlyHills radiation oncologist who recentlyleft a thriving practice to lead the groupfull time, believes that “with our earnestwork and attention we can dramaticallyreduce the number of women around theworld who suffer from this devastatingdisease.”

CCC is devoted to saving women’slives by creating sustainable clinics indeveloping countries where cervicalcancer is the leading cause of cancerdeath for women of reproductive age.Local healthcare providers receive train-ing in a technique called “See and Treat,”in which women undergo a screeningprocedure where vinegar is applied to

the cervix. Pre-cancerous changes on thecervix are identified and the women areimmediately counselled and offered aprocedure called cryotherapy, wherethese bad cells are frozen off. The proce-dure has a 90-percent cure rate at revers-ing these pre-cancerous changes, andblocking the progression to cervical can-cer.

Since March 2013 when the groupmade its first international trip, Cure-CervicalCancer.org has succeeded infounding 25 sustainable clinics in fivedifferent countries on three continents.

Founding Boardmember and thegroup’s medical director, GynecologicOncologist Dr Jennifer Lang, MD, ex-plains they have developed a novelmodel for training and opening clinicscalled “Clinic in a Suitcase.” Essential-ly, everything needed to provide the“See and Treat” procedure can fit into arolling suitcase that can literally be tak-en anywhere. “As long as we have localhealthcare personnel open to learningthis technique there is no limit to wherewe could take this model and the num-ber of women’s lives we could positive-ly effect,” states Dr Lang.

for overweight (85 to 94 per-cent) and obese (greater than 95percent). Patients at less than 85percent BMI were considered“lean”. About one-third of thepatients were obese or over-weight at the time of diagnosis.

Investigators found thatlean patients with minimalresidual disease had similar out-comes to obese patients withoutevidence of residual disease.Obese patients with residualdisease had the worst out-comes. Additionally, althoughnearly a quarter of the patientsinitially deemed “lean”” gainedweight and become obese dur-

ing the first month of treatment,these patients still showed simi-lar outcomes to those whoremained lean.

“In addition to increasing apatient’s likelihood of havingpersistent disease followingtreatment, obesity appears toadd a risk factor that changesthe interaction betweenchemotherapy and residualleukemia cells,” said the insti-tute's Dr. Hisham Abdel-Azim.

Findings from the studyoffer new avenues for investiga-tion that include modifyingchemotherapy regimens forobese patients and working tochange a patient’s weight statusbeginning at the time of diagno-sis.

Metro Celebrates Pricey ‘Subway To TheSea’ At LACMA TodayBy Laura Coleman

This morning at 9 a.m.,civic leaders will gather at theLos Angeles County Museum ofArt for the kick off constructionon the Purple Line extensioninto Beverly Hills.

Yet again, the L.A. Metro-politan Transportation Authoritywill celebrate a business dealthat proposes spending at least$200 million more than it has toif it opts to follow up theWilshire/La Cienega station witha segment that rolls underneathBeverly Hills High School andinto JMB’s planned City Centerin Century City at Constellationand Avenue of the Stars.

The proposed $1 billionPurple Line segment to reachConstellation from La Cienega,(as opposed to the $800 millionprice tag to build on Santa Mon-ica Boulevard), may also faceunknown additional costs astwo tunnels wend underneathBHHS through unknown aban-doned oil wells and fields ofmethane, according to BHUSDconsultant Tim Buresh. No few-er than five studies have dis-proved Metro’s primary ration-ale that earthquake faults madeit necessary to route the subwayto Constellation, he said.

Together, Beverly Hills Uni-

fied School District and the Cityof Beverly Hills have filed a Na-tional Environmental Policy Act(NEPA) suit and a California En-vironmental Quality Act (CEQA)suit (now in appeal) in order toget Metro to examine documen-tation showing that running thesubway along Santa MonicaBoulevard, as Metro originallyintended, is a safe alternative.Metro has argued that runningthe Purple Line beneath the highschool is the “safer” alternativeto an original proposal that hadthe subway running along SantaMonica Boulevard.

Today's ceremony isscheduled to include U.S. De-partment of Transportation’s Fed-eral Transit Administration topofficial Therese McMillan, aswell Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Rep.Henry Waxman, Rep. KarenBass, L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti,Metro representatives and otherlocal officials. Mayor Lili Bosseand councilmembers JohnMirisch and Willie Brien all con-firmed they planned to attend.

"We as a City have said wesupport the subway coming toLa Cienega and coming to Bev-erly Hills; What we don't sup-port is going under the highschool," Bosse said. "It stops atLa Cienega. They haven't ap-

proved the next route. Theyhaven't gotten the funding.We're in lawsuits."

Vice Mayor Julian Gold saidthis segment’s construction willlikely serve as a test of how wellthe City and Metro work togeth-er. He said the City has beendiligent in constructing ways tomonitor and mitigate the im-pacts of the construction aboutto start on Wilshire Boulevard.

Bosse touted an agreementthe City reached with Metro thatmitigates impacts from the utili-ty phase and will continue toensure that all phases of con-struction proceed as smoothlyas possible for the community.

“This is proof positive thatBeverly Hills is supportive of theroute going into Beverly Hills,”Board VP Brian Goldberg saidabout this morning’s ceremony.“The problem is the routeplanned beneath the highschool.”

"We should be glad they’redoing a project, but at the sametime, it reminds us that there’s amajor arrogance on the waythey’re acting,” City Coun-cilmember John Mirisch said.

The three-phase extensionproject will eventually stop inWestwood.

“The Black & White Galawas a huge success,” saidBHPD Chief Snowden. “Theroom was filled to near capaci-ty with caring citizens andbusiness people who were hav-ing a great time. It was anhonor to be able to share ourdepartment's accomplishmentsover the past year and presentawards to so many very deserv-ing members of our depart-ment. It was a time to remem-ber Det. Gabe Coyoca, wholost his life this past year in theline of duty. A perpetual awardfor Community Service wasnamed in his honor. The firstaward was made posthumouslyto Paula Kent Meehan for her

continual support for ourdepartment. I am looking for-ward to next year’s gala."

Mills Act Contract. They havefully restored the property.

Under the terms of thecontract, the City of BeverlyHills grants the property own-ers property tax reduction touse the savings to restore andrehabilitate heritage properties.The Mills Act is the most signif-icant incentive for historicpreservation, realizing truevalue in exchange for land-mark status.

The term of the contract isfor 10 years. Property ownersagree to restore, maintain, andprotect the property in accor-dance with historic standards

and the contract is trans-ferrable to new owners.

This brings the total num-ber of Mills Act Contracts tothree, including the FoxWilshire – Saban Theatre andthe Beverly Hills Post Office,approved in 2013.

The City is currently recal-ibrating the Cultural Heritageordinance. In addition to limit-ing the definition of an historicproperty, the PlanningCommission, which is exercis-ing its oversight capacity, hasdetermined that incentives thatinspire residents to voluntarilylandmark their properties areimportant. The Mills Act is oneof those incentives.

Last month Hurun con-firmed 358 billionaires in Chi-na - a number that Hogewerfestimated was actually a thirdof the actual total.

“2014 is the first year of theChinese entrepreneur going

global,” he said, noting that ed-ucation is driving real estatepurchases across the county.

Hurun estimated that 80-percent of Chinese high-networth families are looking tosend children abroad to study -with roughly a quarter eyeingthe U.S. In addition, Hurun’smost recent data show that 64 -percent of millionaire Chinesemillionaires are looking to em-igrate; and an even higher per-centage of Chinese super richare looking to leave.

representatives at the media-tion.

“We feel the agreementbrokered by the mediator wasboth reasonable and fair to allsides,” said Beverly Hills MayorLili Bosse. “We were veryexcited at the conclusion of themediation that we had reacheda framework for settlement andequally disappointed by itslater rejection by the MetroBoard.”

BHUSD president NoahMargo, who also participatedin the mediation session, said,“Although we have at timesbeen unfairly portrayed in thepress as unreasonable, wewere willing to work with the

mediator to broker a solutionthat represented a true compro-mise. We continue to be com-mitted to working out a solu-tion that allows Metro to fulfillits goals, while protecting ourschool’s future.”

“We have always preferreda negotiated solution to litiga-tion,” Margo added. “Themediator, along with the repre-sentatives from Metro, FTA andDOJ did a good job listeningand working things out. It is ourhope that the Metro Board,which now includes three newmembers, will also come to therealization that a mediated set-tlement is in the interest of theentire region.”

about Beverly Hills. “Theyknew what was happening, theeconomy, the Wallis, the com-munity, the investments inexpansion and remodeling andthat the residential communityis vital and alive.” Businessesare eager to become a part ofthe City today, but it wasn’talways that way.

“We had some times thatwere… less enthusiastic, dur-ing the recession,” he recalled,remembering the vacancies onBeverly and Rodeo Drive. “Weexpanded opportunities, likethe growing the restaurants inthe community, providingmore options to dine. Nightlifeis expanding with Spaghettini,a restaurant and Dave KozLounge.”

The Courier asked whatwas the low point in his tenure.

“That first year or two,dealing with the economicslowdown, adjusting toreduced revenues in hotel andretail sales. We really had totalk to our employees, which isnever an easy thing to do, andtell them we’re going to have todo some things together likefurloughs, to help the City.”

What, we asked, is thehigh point?

The high point was totallyunexpected said Kolin. It hap-pened when Steve Gordon,president of Domino Realty,came into his office and beganto tell Kolin how unhappy hewas with the condition of theBeverly Gardens Park.

“He was quite critical andashamed. I have an internalcalculator and began to add upall the improvements he wastalking about. Then he said ‘Iwant you to say ‘yes’ to lettingme raise the money…what acommunity!”

That partnership is a highpoint for Kolin, who only has togaze out at the Lily Pond to seehow successful that has been.“One of the things in myresume I enjoyed thoroughly… to put those partnerships

together.” As for accomplishments,

Kolin feels he is leaving theCity significantly better thanwhen he arrived. “The reces-sion was not easy. Not everycity is able to emerge as strong;the fiscal condition, reserves,revenues, improved govern-ment services, improved infra-structure.”

Kolin named a long list ofprojects that the City hasundertaken, including RoxburyPark, Public Works Warehouse,the Santa Monica Boulevardoffice building, water andreservoir infrastructure, build-ings and renovations for park-ing, streamlining permits andplanning, e-government andhistoric preservation – to namea few.

Kolin is not that concernedwith the deficit in unfundedmandates.

“Most cities’ post employ-ment benefits are greater thanpensions.

Kolin believes that with theincreased contributions and astrengthening economy, overtime, PERS is going to benefit.He sees that as lowering theburden for the City.

Kolin started his career inL.A. County, working in therecreation and parks depart-ment, and continued in recre-ation and parks with the citiesof Orange County for the next15 years before moving to thecity of Santa Clarita and tobecome deputy city manager.Following that, he served ascity manager in Pittsburg(Contra Costa County) andSanta Rosa before coming toBeverly Hills in 2010.

Kolin’s contract was set tobe up for renewal in January.

“Leading Beverly Hills hasbeen the high point of mycareer,” Kolin said. “This is acity with outstanding employ-ees, engaged and sophisticatedresidents and a dynamic busi-ness community.

“Beverly Hills has theresources to meet every chal-lenge with innovation andstrength. It has been a privilege

to work alongside so many out-standing and caring people.”

“We are very grateful toJeff for his skilled leadershipover the past five years,” saidBeverly Hills Mayor Lili Bosse.

“Beverly Hills is in excel-lent financial health and he hasassembled a team of strongleaders and an outstanding staffwho will carry on the BeverlyHills tradition of excellence. Iwish both Jeff and Patty thevery best in their new life.”

Mayor Bosse said the Citywould soon commence asearch for Kolin’s successor.

“It has been an honor toserve as city manager.”

Beverly Hills High Girls Tennis Team Wins In First Round Of CIF PlayoffsBy Matt Lopez

Fresh off capturing anOcean League title, the BeverlyHills High girls tennis team gotoff to a successful start thisweek in the CIF playoffs.

Powered by a strong sin-gles performance from OceanLeague Individual ChampionMartina Bocchi, BHHS beatWest Ranch 11-7 in the CIF

Southern Section Division IIfirst-round match Wednesdayat Beverly High.

Bocchi led the way bysweeping all three of her sin-gles matches for the Normans.

“(West Ranch) is a prettygood team, but we didn’t playup to our potential,” BHHScoach Mike Margolin said.

BHHS’ doubles teams did

come through in a big way.Jackie Hasuer and Sabrina Sait-ta won two out of their threedoubles sets.

BHHS won four out of thenine doubles sets in the match.

With such strength in itssingles players, Margolin saidjust about breaking even indoubles play would be key forBHHS if it hopes to continue in

the playoffs.“That is pretty good, if we

can do that every match wemight be able to do somethings,” Margolin said.

BHHS gets a big test todayin its second round match,packing up for a long road tripto take on Temecula Valley.

“It’s going to be a lottougher, it’s going to be tough

on the kids with the long roadtrip,” Margolin said. “But we’vedone it before, and we’ll go outthere and try to get it doneagain.”

Today’s match is at 2 p.m.at Temecula Valley High.

Beverly Hills Football Shut OutIn Loss To Santa MonicaBy Matt Lopez

Beverly Hills High’s foot-ball team hit the road for thefinal time this season lastFriday, and came back homewith a tough loss.

The Normans were shutout in a 41-0 loss to host SantaMonica in an Ocean Leaguematch.

Santa Monica, which istrying to hold off Lawndale forsecond place in the OceanLeague, scored early and oftenin its rout of the Normans (1-8,0-4).

The Normans didn’t haveas much trouble as they’ve hadwith turnovers in the past, butdid lose possession once on aJoe Kolko fumble.

Despite that, the Normanswere simply unable to movethe ball against a stingy SantaMonica defense that includes afew highly-rated blue-chipfootball prospects.

Passing-wise, quarterbackJake Wolken was only able tomanage 49 passing yards on 9-of-17 passing.

Even in a rough season forthe Normans in the win col-umn, the running game hasalways been a bright spotthroughout the season, buteven that didn’t have muchsuccess Friday.

Joe Kolko was only able toget 18 yards on 16 carries,good for just over 1 yard percarry. Rashard Ysaquirre ranthe ball only once for fiveyards.

Solomon Nwankwocaught four of Wolken’s passesfor 29 yards. Mike Massiecaught three for 18 yards.

The Normans have one lastshot to pick up their firstOcean League win in twoyears on Friday when they takeon Culver City in a 7 p.m. sea-son finale at Nickoll Field.

Culver City won theOcean League last year, buthas struggled this year losingkey players as transfers to otherschools. In fact, the Centaursfinally won their first game ofthe season last Friday in a 35-10 win over Hawthorne.

VOLLEYBALL—Pictured above: HaRim Lee digs down tohit the ball in the Beverly Hills High girls volleyball team’s 3-0 loss on Nov. 4 at Culver City. It was the final regular sea-son match for both teams and Culver City, who is this year’sOcean League champions, won 25-9, 25-21, 25-12. Picturedright: Doris Woods serves the ball for BHHS in a 25-12, 30-28, 25-12 loss at Brentwood on Nov. 11. Prior to that, theNormans took a set from Santa Monica on Oct. 30 beforefalling in a 25-17, 27-25, 22-25, 25-22 loss to the Vikings.The Normans end their season with a 5-15 overall recordand 2-6 in Ocean League play. CIF playoff seedings for girlsvolleyball are announced later today, although it is unlikelythat BHHS, which finished in fourth place in the OceanLeague this year, will earn a playoff berth.

school. He recalls the economy wastough in the 1930s and 40s and, duringsome years, his father would close hisbusiness at the end of the day, then goon to a night job at the nearby Goodrichtire plant. He said his mom “couldstretch a dollar farther thananyone...and she had to.”

When Spitz was 15 he and fivefriends pooled their worldly possessionsand came up with $12 to buy the rem-nants of a 1922 Model T Ford from ajunkyard. They restored it in the autoshop of Garfield High School, butcouldn’t buy gas because they didn’tqualify for gas rationing stamps.

“My dad had 20,000-gallons of gasunder the ground, and because we did-n’t have gas rationing stamps, he would-n’t give us a drop,” he said. “He was avery patriotic guy.”

Fortunately, the engine ran oncleaning solvent, which was plentiful,but not strong enough to start the car, sothe boys had to push it to get it to run,whereupon it exhausted billowingwhite clouds of smoke.

At UCLA, Spitz learned that his bestaptitude was in Science, especiallyphysics, but he decided to prepare for abusiness career, and graduated with amajor in accounting. After graduationhe was hired by a CPA firm Harris, KerrForster, which specialized in hotels andrestaurants. Six months later he wasdrafted and served two years in the

Army finance department, in Washing-ton D.C., St. Louis and Indianapolis. Af-ter his military service Spitz was hiredas a trouble-shooting auditor of HiltonHotels. Nine months later he was pro-moted to chief accountant of Hilton In-ternational with an office in NYC’s Wal-dorf Astoria. In that capacity Spitz hadbrief assignments in London andMadrid before spending 16 months inIstanbul fulfilling advisory responsibili-ties in the final construction of the firstmodern hotel in Turkey.

After completing his assignment inthere, he returned to L.A. for a visit.While there he met Barbara on a blinddate arranged by mutual friends. Shelived with her family in Beverly Hills,and had attended Horace Mann, Bever-ly High and UCLA. Spitz remembersthat his first impression of Barbara wasthat she was beautiful, warm and smart.After a whirlwind week of dating in-cluding dinners at the Miramar Hotel inSanta Monica and the Santa Inez InnSpitz returned to New York, and wroteto Barbara inviting her to visit. Her par-ents didn’t approve at first, but Barbaraprevailed. Spitz recalls meeting her atIdlewild airport, kissing her and fallingin love with her on the spot. One weeklater she accepted his proposal.

Spitz recalled: “I phoned her Dadand before giving us his blessing, heteased me by saying you are 3,000miles away – what will you do if I sayno?”

They eloped and were married inNew York by a rabbi set up by the moth-

er of the friend who had arranged theirblind date in Beverly Hills. The nextday they flew back here to honeymoonat The Beverly Hilton which had justopened. A highlight of their was a“smashing” wedding reception that Bar-bara’s parents hosted with no more thanone week’s notice for planning it. Thenewlyweds then took up residence inNew York. Shortly afterward Spitz de-cided it was time for a career shift.

They moved into an apartment inBeverly Hills, and Spitz accepted his fa-ther-in-law’s offer to join him in his met-al bedframe manufacturing business,known at the time as Central Welding.During five years of working togetherthey expanded the product line by ac-quiring a manufacturer of similar prod-ucts in the Bay Area, and becoming li-censed by a St. Louis firm to producesofa sleeper mechanisms. They changedthe name of the company to BedlineMfg. Company and moved from a 5,000-square foot building to one of 35,000.

Once again in 1960 Spitz shiftedcareers, accepting an appointment asVP of Hilton Credit Corporation, opera-tor of the Carte Blanche credit card.Three years later, upon the death ofSpitz’s father-in-law, Spitz left Hiltononce again and assumed managementof Bedline, further expanding it, andeventually purchasing and occupying a250,000-square foot plant on 13 acresin Whittier and opening a satellite as-sembly plant in Cincinnati in order todistribute the products nationwide.While in the manufacturing business,Spitz was able to capitalize on his apti-tude for physics, designing products andauthoring 25 patents. Spitz sold thecompany in the mid-1980s to Leggett &Platt, a Fortune 500 company.

While Barbara was pregnant withtheir first son, Steven, the Spitzes pur-chased their first home on the 2300

block of Coldwater Canyon. Five yearslater in 1963 after the birth of their sec-ond son, Ken, they moved to their cur-rent home in Beverly Hills. Spitz’s firstconnection with the community wasseveral years of membership on theboard of directors of the MunicipalLeague. In 1970 he was elected to theBHUSD Board of Education.

Spitz served nine years on theschool board, including a year that wasadded in 1979 when the voting datewas changed. From 2000 to 2004 Spitzserved as president of the Beverly HillsCommunity Sports Center; from rom2002 to 2004 he served on the GeneralPlan Update Community CharacterCommittee; and in 2010, Spitz was ap-pointed to the school district’s FinanceCommittee where he served for threeyears.

These days, Spitz spends much ofhis time overseeing his and Barbara’s in-vestments, doing his own bookkeeping,playing tennis, supporting his favoritecharities – The City of Hope and JewishVocational Services, attending UCLAathletics, hanging out with 9-year oldgrandson, David, with whom he wentfishing in Alaska last July, and annuallyre-visiting New York with Barbara.

Spitz remembers that Beverly Hillswas much more “villagey” in the olddays, citing the local hardware store onRodeo Drive as an example. He stillmisses his and Barbara’s favorite localrestaurants–Swiss Cafe, La Scala Bou-tique on Little Santa Monica, The Luau,RJ’s for Ribs, Richlors, and Trader Vics.

His favorite rum-based drink therewas the Tortuga. “I never met anyonewho could handle two of them” he said,“I tried it on our first wedding anniver-sary, and Barbara had to drive home,help me up the stairs to our apartmentand into bed!”

When you’re gettingto know someone truly interesting and well-matched for you, it’s as if each thing you knowcomes with a door to the unknown that you can’tresist opening.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). As your sign-mate the novelist Jane Austen said: “Why not seizethe pleasure at once? How often is happinessdestroyed by preparation, foolish preparation!” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Just becauseyou’re amazingly capable doesn’t mean youshould volunteer for every task the people aroundyou need handled. There are other things that areimportant to you these days.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You may be opti-mistic, but that doesn’t mean you’re naive. Whenthe odds aren’t stacked in your favor, you often goforward anyway because it’s the thing you’re mostcompelled to do. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). You’re often so con-cerned with the comfort of others that you forget tomake yourself comfortable. Don’t be so selfless.When you love yourself, you are loving others bygiving them the best you. ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). You may not feel youhave adequate options for the deal at hand. Don’tgive your trust to someone you’re not sure about;hold off. The decision doesn’t have to be madenow.TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). In some ways, it seemslike you’ve come a long way, although mid-morn-ing may bring an incident making you feel likeyou’ve actually come a short way considering howlong there is still to go.GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You’ll engage others incompelling conversation, either because things getso deep or stay so light. Exchange information andstay in touch, because you need more of this kindof fun in your life.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s been said that thereare no so-called “normal” people, although thismay be an exaggeration. The people around youtoday may be the rare exceptions. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

would have saved Ehrenpreis’ life, butthat Ehrenpreis “deserved a chance tofind out.” Herzog said that incident hap-pened approximately 100 yards from a“fully-staffed Santa MonicaConservancy Ranger Station with anEMT peace officer on duty” and saidthey did not respond to the incidenteither.

Captain Jaime Moore, public infor-mation officer for LAFD, said an investi-gation is indeed underway regarding theincident and the department’s responsetime.

Moore noted that emergency calls

from OnStar can be delayed because itis ultimately a third party relaying infor-mation to the dispatcher about an inci-dent they aren’t on the scene of.

Moore said other 911 calls werereceived on the incident, but the callershad difficulty describing their locationin Franklin Canyon.

Moore said the investigation wouldlook into everything from how the callwas dispatched to where the respondingunits were when the call was sent out.

“We are taking this seriously,”Moore said. “We want to look into allthe facts and can’t come out arbitrarilyand say we’re sorry for what you thinkwe did, without really knowing.”

From The PublisherMARCIA WILSON HOBBS

What do the Boycott Divestment Sanctions (BDS) movement and the “Jewish” Voice for Peace(JVP) have in common? Both the BDS and the JVP are trying to stir up hatred towards Jews and Israelby provoking acts of divestment from Israel with the premise that it is responsible for the suffering ofthe Gazians and West Bankers. In reality, the Gazians and West Bankers are responsible for their ownstate of affairs due to their terrorist foundations.

BDS began in South Africa, a country which came out of apartheid, and has also decided thatIsrael was/is an apartheid state. The unemployment in South Africa is 24.5-percent, and GDP a neg-ative 4-percent. In other words, the economy of the country is in shambles. So what do all thesegood-for-nothing BDS individuals do? They boycott Israel/Jews instead of focusing on improving theirown conditions. However, Israel’s GDP is 3.4-percent and its unemployment rate is 6.5-percent.Israel is a small country which has independently prospered beyond anyone’s imagination. The BDSand JVP are intent on taking Israel back to the middle ages and have co-signed the BDS’ destructiveproposals. Both groups are enjoying what is happening in the universities where Israeli guests areblocked by these groups or causing continued anxiety to universities by pushing their “Divest fromIsrael” rhetoric.

One JVP boardmember tells it all: “The last 12-years, he has helped build Jewish Voice for Peaceon the theory that transforming US Jews into a force for liberation would be an excellent first step.”

During these months of the horrendous killings of children and civilians by Hamas and present-ly from the West Bankers, BDS and JVP continue to blame and bash Israel as if they were the onlyactors in the arena. In fact, regardless of what the West Bankers or Gazians proclaim, it is clear theyare coaxed to love the terrorists (who kill kids), be proud mothers of suicide bombers, and enjoypraises by Abbas. Even with the rebuilding of the tunnels in Gaza for terrorist purposes and Hamas’use of resources for a 4-story radio building and not for their own people, BDS and JVP persist ontheir attack of Israel and the Jews.

Presently, Israeli Arabs or so called “Palestinians” are rioting in Jerusalem, with part of this beingat the Temple Mount, the oldest site of the Jewish religion where important Islamic sites are alsofound. However, the issue is that Muslims do not want the Jews to go pray at the Temple Mount.Therefore, when Abbas speaks of East Jerusalem as their capital, he is also implying that no Jews arewelcome. Similarly, Jordan has also banned Jews from Jerusalem and destroyed all the synagogueswhen they were the legal owners and governing body of the West Bank. The BDS and JVP are seek-ing for a repetition of this by wanting to give East Jerusalem to the West Bankers.

Instead, the BDS and JVP should consider at least the following: (1) Israel spent $320,000 Shekelsto care for Syrians who have been wounded; (2) Israel is sending medical personnel to Africa to helpcombat Ebola; (3) Helping California helping with the worst drought (JVP are located in Oakland);(4) Israel’s physicians just took care of the daughter of Haniya’s, the master of Hamas.

Instead of accepting responsibility and looking for solutions, the Board of Education and admin-istration went into damage control mode after California put our high school on academic probationtwo weeks ago. The Courier reported Superintendent Woods’ stunning reaction as: “it doesn’t meanmuch beyond a bit of bad publicity.”

Well, to residents, parents, and students it does mean much beyond a bit of bad publicity. Itmeans that proficiency rates in English and math have plummeted the past few years under the stew-ardship of Dr. Woods and his Chief Academic Officer Jennifer Tedford.

Dr. Tedford’s highly publicized remarks amount to a shameless public relations campaign. Shecalled the CAHSEE test, which had been administered for 10-years a “pop quiz.” She also said thatbecause she didn’t know the test would be used this year to measure adequate yearly progress, “Wereally were encouraging our students to simply pass.” How can any adult tell a student simply topass? How can any student possibly know how much effort is needed just to pass? What kind ofmessage does that send to our students and teachers? Don’t do your best, just pass. This is outrageous.

Last week, Board President Noah Margo wrote to The Courier, bemoaning this year’s proficien-cy standards being raised to 100-percent. Full proficiency is a high bar, but Margo overlooked thecrucial fact: Had the lower proficiency standards remained intact, Beverly High still would not havecome close to meeting them. So the 100-percent standard is an empty excuse.

Since then, Mr. Margo has doubled down, writing on Facebook about how “we’re in good com-pany because other districts have been placed on academic probation also.” Have our expectationssunk so low that instead of offering solutions, our school leaders justify the status quo by crowingabout poor performance in other districts?

Boardmembers and staff may try to deceive, but numbers don’t lie. Beverly’s CAHSEE scoresplunged from about 90-percent proficient in math and English to about 80-percent after the boardunanimously voted to adopt Common Core. District administrators are directly responsible for thisdecline. Their policies, rubber stamped by this board without any serious due diligence, have dumb-ed down the curriculum while grouping all students together regardless of ability. This one-twopunch has proven academically disastrous.

Just to give one example, here are some of this week’s Common Core 4th grade spelling andvocabulary words: put, year, jaw, wood. As a comparison, here are a few real vocabulary words fromCharlotte’s Web: rummage, phenomenon, veritable, pompous. Amazingly, BHUSD urges elementaryparents and students to choose “Good Fit Books” that don’t contain new vocabulary words. The idea,evidently, is that children won’t love learning unless all difficulty is leached out.

The Board of Education should instruct Superintendent Woods and CAO Tedford to restore a rig-orous, academically challenging curriculum immediately. Separate honors classes must be reinstat-ed. If administrators refuse or drag their feet, they must be replaced. This is no time for excuses. Thecasualties aren’t bruised egos of adults who want to veil their mistakes. The casualties are our stu-dents who are being denied a first-rate education. Isabel Hacker & Steve Spitz, Concerned Parents

LARGEST NATIVE AMERICAN ARTS FAIR

Last Tuesday, Californian voters rejected a proposition thatwould have allowed a Native American tribe near Fresno to builda Las Vegas-style casino on land nearly 40 miles from its reserva-tion.

It is a pity that gambling is often the only way we think aboutNative Americans. This weekend, the Autry Museum in Griffith Parkis offering us a more interesting and beautiful opportunity toapproach that culture, by organizing the largest Native Americanarts fair in Southern California. From more than 40 tribes, 200Native American artists will show their amazing jewels, pottery,textiles, paintings or beadwork. The program also promises per-formances and activities for the whole family.

Before the Spaniards arrive, the Tongva tribe inhabited BeverlyHills. They named the beautiful place we live in “the gathering ofthe waters,” which was translated later into Spanish–El Rodeo deLas Aguas. This weekend might be a good occasion to learn moreabout the first people who dwelled in Rodeo Drive.

And now a repeat of Janet Salter’s annual rant about theexistence of Daylight Saving Time. . . .

HOW MANY DIGITAL CLOCKS ARE STILL?HOW MANY KOO-KOOS NO LONGER SHRILL?

HOW MANY TIMEPIECES REMAIN UNCHANGED?AS THEIR OWNERS WANDER DERANGED?

ONLY THE SUNDIAL KNOWS FOR CERTAINWHEN IT’S TIME TO DRAW THE CURTAIN,BUT WE POOR FOOLS, ALAS AND ALACK

KEEP LEANING FORWARD, THEN FALLING BACK!WHEN WILL WE CITIZENS STAND-UP AND SAY,

“LET’S MAKE IT LEGAL AND LEAVE IT ONE WAY!”. . . .And she’s never giving up!!
