The Poisoning of Beverly Hills High School
July 18, 2008
Thank you to all of you who filled the Vet’s Rotunda Room last night for the L.A. County Workshop. It was a typical example of the outstanding community involvement our residents engage in. We must continue to put pressure on the County to listen to reason about the approval of the EIR.
Here’s a follow up to the information mentioned last night about the appearance of Joy Horowitz discussing her book on the Beverly Hills oil issue.
AUTHOR TO SPEAK ON THE POISONING OF BEVERLY HILLS HIGH SCHOOL
Joy Horowitz , author of “Parts Per Million, the Poisoning of Beverly Hills High School,” will speak on Thursday, July 24 at 6:00 PM at the Culver City Library. Her book examines the disproportionately high rate of cancer suffered by the teachers and students of Beverly Hills High School which was blamed on the oil pumping operation adjacent to the school. The case was made famous when Erin Brockovich filed a lawsuit against the School District. The topic is especially relevant today in Culver City, in view of the recently released Environmental Impact Report of the Baldwin Hills oil field.
The event, sponsored by the Culver City Friends of the Library, is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing.
The Culver City Julian Dixon Library is located at 4975 Overland Avenue, Culver City, CA 90230. Overflow parking is available next door to the North of the Library at 4909 Overland Avenue. For more information, go to our website, www.ccfol.org. For ADA accommodation, call (310) 830-0231 (voice) or (310) 830-4532 (TTY) Monday – Friday at least 6 days prior to event.
The Crest View is going Internet
June 1, 2008
In as much as it’s been a pleasure providing this newsletter to the residents of Culver Crest, we sadly announce that this will be the last edition. However, it is for a very good reason. Our new website, skillfully and professionally created by our C.C.N.A. Board Member Antoine Durr, eliminates the need to create and distribute a hard copy of what will be posted on the internet. It will reduce costs and imagine the number of trees we’ll save. The website will keep you abreast of events affecting the Crest and in a more current manner. In addition, it provides the ability to post your own news and comments and is therefore a working tool to keep us all more involved and provide better communication.
The C.C.N.A. will still provide news bulletins on an as needed basis via internet. If you currently don’t receive our notices, it means we don’t have your email address on file. Please send us your email address to Mike Bauer at culvercity99 (at) aol (dot) com.
