Prices range from $350, minus the 70 percent dis- count, and up. The entire inventory is 30,000 pieces with 3,000 in the stores. The selection changes weekly with spring and summer items arriving now. Stephenson describes the DL “Luxury D e s i g n e r B l o w o u t ” as a “pop up,” offer- ing its deals until the stock runs out. “This is
a limited time for
great sav- ings,” says S t e p h e n - son. Her example is a $3,000

Page 10 | January 31, 2014 BEVERLY HILLS BEVERLY HILLS plowing through communities, digging up streets and disrupting traffic, spend- ing billions of federal dollars to build light rail and subways, to create bus ex- pressways and to widen the I-405 Free- way. As Beverly Hills gears up for the encroachment of Metro into City streets, the Courier will ask some of those who have walked the road before to talk about what their experiences. The Courier asked outgoing Brent- wood Community Council (BCC) Pres- ident Nancy Freedman what it has been like to deal with Metro for three years. “The presented plan is inevitably not the final,” said Freedman. Freed- man explained, “As an example, a Wilshire designated bus lane along the VA had many alternative plans. The original plan didn’t work for specific reasons not realized by Metro. “The community is against fragmented bus lanes that don’t connect from the ocean to downtown. However, with Federal money burning a hole in Metro’s pocket,” said Freedman, “they found a way to squeeze in the lane. (Beverly Hills has blocked construction in the City.) Now, they have to correct their error in planning.” “For millions of taxpayer dollars, Metro plans to move the planted medi- an on the stretch of Wilshire between the I-405 and Federal, 5-feet to the north! The construction was planned for January,” said Freedman, “but the 405 stalled, and it hasn’t started yet.” Freedman invited Metro to make a presentation to the BCC to explain the median project. She was told they did not have to explain, said Freedman. “It was a done deal.” As BCC president, Freedman was sure that the community required an explanation of years of enduring the I- 405 Widening Project, and the Sub- way-to-the-Sea. Wilshire Boulevard. is the main east-west artery that connects Brentwood and Santa Monica to the rest of Los Angeles. Currently, travel times from Brentwood to Westwood beneath the 405 freeway are entirely unpredictable and can take half an hour on a good day. Construction to move the median will affect thousands of commuters for a year. “It’s only fair,” she said. “I want the community to know what I know.” Ultimately, they agreed to make a power point presentation at the BCC. “People are too tired to fight Metro,” Freedman opined. “They can bully and not have concerns because they are a behemoth organization that does not have citizens on their mind – only roads. In the end, PR is done to say that Metro has improved the lives of mil- lions of Angelenos and we are sup- posed to believe it.” Currently, the project is stalled. “Maybe they will wait until the 405 is finished,” said Freedman hopefully. “Metro is such a monster that nobody can get it right. They make these plans, but they don’t work. It looks good on paper. The lesson is, ‘If there’s money from the federal government, they’re going to do it.” Academic Officer Jennifer Tedford. In an effort to understand how to better enable Beverly Hills students to succeed, the board convened a special study session earlier this month where teachers and principals trumpeted a clear message – reading is key. At the Jan. 21 Board meeting during a discussion on the board policy related to promotion, acceleration and reten- tions, boardmembers directed staff to explore employing additional reading specialists for K-3, in addition to chang- ing the acceptable letter grade to pass from a D to a C. “I think the C should become the D [and] the D should be our F,” board President Noah Margo said. “We’re do- ing these kids a disservice by promoting them.” “We should never have to retain somebody after 3rd grade, if we’re do- ing it right,” he added. Boardmember Lisa Korbatov told The Courier that studies confirm that reading specialists make a difference in students’ success. “All stories show kids who read and read proficiently are more successful,” she said. “We need reading specialists. In theory, one at each campus.” Margo said it was crucial for stu- dents to achieve literacy by 3rd grade. “I don’t think we’re doing our stu- dents any favor by promoting them,” Korbatov said. For you to get an F means you were basically not in class. Although, it does occur retention is more of a rarity in grades 6 to 12. Ted- ford said that last year’s retentions in- cluded one 4th grader, one 1st grader, and 11 kindergartners, four of whom have since transferred. Board VP Brian Goldberg suggested that Moreno, which offers core subject classes that are less rigorous than the UC-approved classes at BHHS, could be a path for students unable to succeed beyond the bare minimum that is re- quired to achieve a D grade. “The best things we can do to help the students be more successful is to get those [K-3] reading specialists,” he said.
