Movie night: The legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright.
In honor of the great master American architect, we will be screening an acclaimed 1998 documentary film by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, “Frank Lloyd Wright.” A leading and iconic figure in American architecture, Wright’s life is divided in the film into 10 periods that span his 91 years. Share some beer and popcorn and enter the world of this extraordinary designer through the lens of a master filmmaker. Plus, take this opportunity to test drive DWR’s new Frank Lloyd Wright Collection.

The Home-buyers Credit just passed through Congress. The credit has been extended and expanded. The bill is on its way to the President and still needs to be signed into law. However, as far as we can tell, the credit will be available till April 30th, 2009.
Here is the press release from CAR:
NOVEMBER 5th -
"More good news for consumers, our members, and the housing market recovery. Following the Senate’s favorable vote yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives just voted 403 to 12 to extend the home buyer tax credit, expanding the parameters to include existing homeowners and not just first-time buyers. As you may know, C.A.R. and our partners at NAR have worked for months urging Congress and the Senate to extend and expand this crucial piece of legislation. We expect President Obama to sign the legislation in short order.
As it now stands, the federal tax credit will be extended through April 30, 2010, with a 60-day extension if a binding contract is in place prior to the deadline. First-time home buyers will continue to be eligible for a tax credit of up to $8,000, while existing homeowners will be eligible for a reduced credit of up to $6,500. To qualify for the $6,500 credit, existing homeowners must have lived in their current residences for at least five years. The bill also increases the qualifying income limits from $75,000 for single tax filers and $150,000 for joint filers to $125,000 and $225,000, respectively. The purchase price of the home is capped at $800,000 in both instances.
Under additional provisions included in the bill, taxpayers can claim the credit on purchases completed in 2010 on their 2009 income tax returns. The legislation maintains the provision that home buyers do not have to repay the credit provided the home remains their primary residence for 36 months after purchase, and waives this requirement for active duty military personnel who move due to a military order."
A Public Symposium is being organized by the Sierra Club's Endangered Species and Wildlife Committee and WE WANT YOU TO BE INVOLVED. Contributing to the discussion will be the Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks (LADRP), Los Angeles Wildlife Officers, City Council members, including Tom LaBonge and Staff, California Wildlife Center, Duane Tom, DVM, Wildlife Rehabbers and many other experts including interested community members.
The Symposium is not designed as a defense or as a condemnation of recent incidents occurring in Griffith Park, our large Urban Recreation Area, which resulted in 8 Coyote deaths by the Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services. What we want in this meeting (or meetings) is to generate interest from all entities and to go forward to formulate guidelines for State and local wildlife and animal control entities which will equally respect the needs of both human and animal species. The LA Recreation and Parks Department has already identified some actions which they hope to initiate, such as more bi-lingual signs, new trash receptacles which have firm lids and are placed in different locations, and a bi-lingual program of education for children and adults.
As this notice goes to press, we hope that Representatives from the Chumash Tribe, the Humane Society of the US, a concerned citizenry and other experts will join in the much needed discussion.
The Symposium will be held on Saturday, November 14, 10 AM until 2 PM, at the Griffith Park Ranger Station Auditorium on Zoo Drive in Griffith Park. We expect a large turn-out, so come early.
Requests for further information or questions should be directed to Dr. Rosemarie White, Chairperson for the Endangered Species and Wildlife Committee, at 818-769-1521
