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.
