By Danny and Jina Tabarzia. Dear Friends: Allow me to take a few minutes of your time. Rabbi Noam Capri, the second grade rebbe (teacher) at Emek Hebrew Academy in the Valley, is in need of a heart transplant.

By Keith Johnson. Hello, Everyone: I am often asked, why do you and your wife work so hard for a youth football and cheer program? Why do you and your wife put in so much of your own resources?

By Robert Zirgulis. It has come to my attention that School Board President Kathy Paspalis has a website (paspalisforschoolboard.com) promoting her re-election next November.

Being a member of the Compton community and living in this city, I have yet to find out who has won the election for mayor, or if there is even a declared winner at all. I'm concerned for this city in the future if we do not get things going. The fact alone that the average age of most residents of Compton is very young is something we should take advantage of. But the lack of progress is seriously affecting this city in many ways.

By Rebecca Rona Tuttle. Dear Friends: Please make sure to cast your ballot today for Nancy Pearlman, who is running as an incumbent. Our votes will enable her to continue serving as a trustee on the Los Angeles Community College District Board.

By Jeannine Wisnosky Stehlin. On Saturday, June 9, United Parents of Culver City is hosting a fundraising party to honor the candidate(s) we will help elect in the November School Board elections. This is a wonderful opportunity to join JOIN UPCC, or renew your membership and spend an enjoyable evening.

Regarding George Laase’s series this week, let’s not begrudge Culver City teachers and classified employees a 2 percent raise. For gosh sakes, they haven't been given a raise for the last three years.

Editor’s Note: United Parents of Culver City, which marks its first birthday this month, has not yet endorsed this year’s School Board candidates. and Ms. Wisnosky Stehlin is the President.
