a question and answer portion to end the program.

It was then that Boyle attribut-ed some more of his contentment to the priesthood.

“I’ve been joyful as a Jesuit,” he concluded.

Reflecting on his choices for a moment, Boyle admitted that Homeboy Industries hasn’t all been successful.

“Homeboy Plumbing nev-er caught on … turns out people don’t want gang members in their homes,” he said with a laugh.

Among the many takeaways from Boyle’s visit was his asser-tion that “gang violence is about a lethal absence of hope.” This is something that will surely stay with Palisadians for a long time to come, along with the notion that, at the end of the day, we are all searching for the same thing: a sense of purpose and belonging.

Summer Giveaway

In a surprise announcement of election winners by the Pacific

Palisades Community Council, Steve Cron and Alan Goldsmith were named winners of the Area 2 and at-large representative posi-tions, respectively.

Vote counts are expected to be announced at an upcoming meet-ing on Sept. 13 and candidates will begin their terms on Oct. 11, according to a letter from PPCC Chair George Wolfberg.

“This was a tough election, and I’m glad it’s over,” Area 2 elect Steve Cron said in a state-ment to the Palisadian-Post. “My opponent, Adam Handler, worked hard and ran an effective cam-paign.

“I am so appreciative of all the support I received in our com-munity, and hope that all of us can work together to make The High-lands and all of the Palisades an even better place to live.”

Cron and Goldsmith will join candidates who ran uncontested, including Joanna Spak (Area 1), Haldis Toppel (Area 3), Rick Mills (Area 4), Sue Kohl (Area 5), Da-vid Kaplan (Area 6), Steve Boyers (Area 7) and Reza Akef (Area 8).

“PPCC thanks all the candi-dates for their willingness to par-ticipate in the public election pro-cess and commitment to serving the community,” Wolfberg wrote in the letter. “We also thank the members of the Palisades commu-nity for participating in the elec-

tion process by voting.“Finally, we thank the Elec-

tion Committee, led by David Card, American Legion represen-tative to the board, for its respon-sible management of the election.”

The announcement of winners was scheduled to occur on Sept. 13, but Palisadians were surprised to see election results in their email inbox on Saturday, Sept. 1.

Area 2 runner-up Adam Han-dler’s campaign did not survive the online political attacks of com-munity members accusing him of being responsible for or associated with a fake account that criticized his opponent, causing his cam-paign to be on the defensive for the remainder of the race.

At the same time, At-Large Representative elect Goldsmith was busy making his community presence more visible over his op-ponent John Padden, with heavy social media presence and attend-ing local events.

“I’m very happy to have won,” Goldsmith said in a phone interview. “I’m going to be do-ing a lot of listening. I’m not just hitting the ground with an attack plan like a political candidate for the U.S. Senate … I’ve got to be very cautious and not blurt out and take the long position. I’ve got to know what people want.”

The new board now straps in to lead a new era in the Palisades, including the opening of Palisades Village and an incoming project at the old Jack in the Box site that is setting its heels in the sand to be-come the next local land use battle.

PPCC Elections End, Begin a

New Era

By TRILBY BERESFORDReporter

The 2018 Palisadian-Post Speaker Series on Wednes-

day, Aug. 29, with a powerful appearance by Father Gregory Boyle.

“There just might be lives out there that matter less than other lives.” This was a sentiment that Boyle mentioned several times, declaring it “the opposite of who we are [as a community].”

He emphasized that we must stand with those who are poor, powerless, voiceless, readily left out and easily despised or dis-posed of, and restore the notion that a unified community is based on kinship, justice and under-standing.

This higher awareness is what compelled Boyle to launch Home-boy Industries 27 years ago; an or-ganization that provides job train-ing and essential services—such as tattoo removal, legal advice and educational classes—to gang members in the Los Angeles area.

“We are healing centered,” said Boyle, because “a healed gang member will never go back to prison.” Homeboy offers an 18-month training program and receives 15,000 members a year—men and women who choose to walk in themselves.

During his keynote address,

Boyle described several of the participants, referring to them as “Homies,” and offered a glimpse into how their tragic childhoods led them on a path toward gang activity.

One Homie spent his child-hood drinking out of pickle jars because his family didn’t own any cups or glasses. He would steal ketchup packets from McDon-ald’s and call it “lunch.” He used newspaper as toilet paper.

“No kids are seeking some-thing when they enter a gang,” Boyle said, matter-of-factly. “They are fleeing something.”

Boyle talked animatedly about a Homie nicknamed “Ban-dit” who entered his office one day and proclaimed, “I’m tired of being tired.” As a result of the Homeboy program, Bandit got a full-time job in a warehouse.

Cut to five years later and he is married with three kids. One of his daughters is going to college to study forensic psychology.

“What if we were to invest in people instead of incarcerate

our way out of it?” Boyle gently asked the audience, who remained attentive and still.

“There’s a Buddhist text that says, ‘Remember who you really are,’” he went on to share, ex-plaining that’s really what Home-boy is about. “We invite people at Homeboy to join in exclusive mutuality. There is no ‘us’ and ‘them.’”

Throughout his tenure with Homeboy, Boyle has buried 224 kids who died from gang vio-lence. Naturally, Boyle explained that people assume his job is hor-rible and grim.

But to the contrary, he ex-pressed clearly, “It’s anchored in joy.”

This sense of joy seems partly due to the fact that Boyle does not believe in evil.

“I’ve never met a bad guy,” he said earnestly. “I know, you’d think I would have bumped into one.”

The Blast of the Shofar

Honorary Co-Mayors Janice Goldfinger and Billy Crystal visited the Palisades Jewish Early Child-hood Center – Chabad, including Rabbi Zushe and Zisi Cunin, to extend New Year wishes to the Pacific Palisades Jewish community. The visit concluded with a distribution of honey cake, which signifies a sweet New Year, and a blast of the shofar, a horn played during the Jewish holiday season. Rosh Hoshana will be observed on Monday, Sept. 10, and Yom Kippur on Wednesday, Sept. 19.

Don’t Just Read the Stories,

I hope that this doesn’t sound too much like a commercial, but I feel compelled to publicly acknowledge the Palisadian-Post. Back on April 5 of this year, the Post ran an article about the business I started at the age of 72. It was entitled, “The Personal Trainer Next Door.”

Because of that article my business doubled almost overnight, and my growth hasn’t stopped. It’s been over four months, and new clients still mention that they saw an article about my business in the Post.

What a gift it is to have a great local newspaper serving our com-munity.

Hopeful signs of contributions to fund honoring Marine Lance Corporal Ronald Stouffer, triple amputee from Pacific Palisades, are much in evidence as Honorary Mayor Peter Graves scans mail and Dr. Richard Holmes, chamber president, mans the phone at Santa Monica Bank.

Old GloryI couldn’t agree more with the need to take action regarding the poor condition of the Old Glory in the park. However, I do be-lieve that the pattern and bright colors will render the upkeep in the striking Palisades sun extremely expensive. I would suggest we replace it with the Is-raeli, Japanese or Finish flags, as those are predominantly white.

Palisadians will agree that it was hard to miss Bruce

Schwartz’s pumpkin patch. Ap-pearing along the West Channel in Santa Monica Canyon, it was a project spearheaded for the pur-pose of beautifying the median strip for the BOCA Neighborhood Association and Santa Monica Civic Association.

The patch first took form as a petunia crop in June, and then lo-cal kids started talking about the need for Halloween pumpkins. Their wishes were fulfilled in the form of 100-pound pumpkins: a visual feast for the eyes.

However, on the morning of Friday, Aug. 31, the Street and Tree Division of the City of Los Angeles eliminated the patch, al-legedly due to complaints from residents who claimed traffic ob-struction.

The pumpkins were saved. They currently reside at the house of Sharon Kilbride, who worked with Schwartz to maintain the patch.

Kilbride expressed her disap-pointment, on the phone with the Palisadian-Post.

“The patch was something that brought the community to-gether in a positive way,” she said, in reference to the individu-als engaged with Pacific Palisades

Task Force on Homelessness, who helped with planting and weeding.

Stone, who was featured in a July 19 article in the Post, was one of them. Another helper at the patch was a man named Stars, whom Kilbride talked about warmly.

The supervisor of Street Ser-

vices declined to comment to the Post.

Kilbride is now deciding upon an alternative way to best utilize the pumpkins.

Anyone interested in contact-ing the Street and Tree Division of the City of Los Angeles can call 213-847-3077.

Man Draws HanDgun in Parking Lot skirMisH

Spotted in the Palisadian-Post: August 19, 1982

A handgun was drawn during an angry confrontation be-tween two motorists and a passenger in a Pacific Palisades su-permarket parking lot. As a result, police are looking for a 1974 yellow Volkswagen bug.

The victim, a 19-year-old carpenter from Pacific Palisades, was driving into the parking lot last Saturday at 10 p.m. when he was approached from the rear by two suspects in their Volk-swagen.

Multiple Burglaries in the PalisadesPacific Palisades

Two home burglaries took place on Thursday, Aug. 30, in Pa-cific Palisades, according to Senior Lead Officer Michael Moore.

One occurred on Fiske Street at 10:05 p.m. and involved a group of male suspects who entered a residential home by jumping a fence and smashing a door.

The residents were home at the time, and yelled at the assailants who fled the scene.

The second incident occurred at Camino De Yatasto/Michael Lane at 6 p.m. and involved a 28-year-old male who entered two houses. He stole property, including two vehicles and some alcohol-ic beverages, and was subsequently arrested.

A third incident took place on Friday, Aug. 31, at 3:50 a.m. on Bienveneda, where a suspect entered the victim’s home, removed his clothing and began watching television. This was classified as a trespass only.

Moore noted that the Camino De Yatasto suspect was not asso-ciated with Bienveneda or Fiske, but there is a possibility that Fiske and Bienveneda are the same suspects.

Con man Jeffrey Lash died in The Highlands over three

years ago, but due to the mystery surrounding his life and sophisti-cated weaponry that was left be-hind with no clear purpose, legal professionals continue to deal with the aftermath.

On Friday, Aug. 31, Los An-geles Superior Court Judge David Cowan declined to sign an order that would release Lash’s weapon arsenal—consisting of approxi-mately 850 firearms and over six

tons of ammunition—to a licensed firearm dealer such as Gulf Tacti-cal International LLC.

One of the concerns Cowan cited is that the arsenal could “ulti-mately end up in the wrong hands” and be used to harm others. He also cited “insufficient information” provided by Lash’s attorneys in support of their request.

LAPD Homicide Detective Barry Telis, who provided a state-ment allegedly favoring the trans-fer of Lash’s weapons to a licensed gun dealer, ran a record check with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Database and con-

cluded that the weapons were le-gally purchased and have not been linked to any criminal activity.

“There is no doubt that Telis is an experienced detective; he has not, however, stated that he is an authorized representative of the LAPD for purposes of the chain of command in allowing the release of firearms,” Cowan wrote in his decision.

He requested that a final deter-mination be made by the criminal courts.

City News Service contributed to this report.

Four Mountain Lion kittens Discoveredsanta Monica Mountains

National Park Service re-searchers recently discovered a litter of four mountain lion kit-tens in a remote area of the Santa Monica Mountains. The kittens—two males and two females—are 4 weeks old and now known as P-70, P-71, P-72 and P-73.

Researchers believe that the kittens, part of the fourth litter for their mother, P-19, are the product of inbreeding.

“We have documented multiple cases of inbreeding during the course of our study,” said Jeff Sikich, biologist for Santa Moni-ca Mountains National Recreation Area, in a statement. “The 101 Freeway is a major barrier to movement, which restricts the ability of mountain lions to come into and go out of the area, and unfortu-nately leads to a lack of breeding options.”

On Satur-day, Sept. 1, the Pacific Pal-isades Art As-sociation hosted an opening reception for third generation Palisadian Cort Jen-sen, whose work will be on dis-play at Palisades Branch Library through Sept. 28. “Cort has con-centrated his artwork to draw-ing pieces that use a contrast of vibrant colors and eclectic

designs with tremendous detail and depth,” according to the as-sociation.


French photographer Patrick Curtet moved with his family

to The Village two years ago, and the time has come for Palisadians to get acquainted with his work.

“The 25th Frame” solo exhi-bition runs from Sept. 8 to 29 at Artist Corner Gallery in Holly-wood, and offers an exploration into some of Curtet’s favorite cult films from the 1960s and ’70s, such as “Bonnie and Clyde” and “Bullitt.”

“What I love about these films is that the characters really express themselves and make life exciting,” Curtet told the Palisa-dian-Post, inferring that “excit-ing” includes an element of dan-ger, or at least, adventure.

California also serves as in-spiration for Curtet, who wants to “take advantage” of where he is living.

“At the coast line, there’s a dream and a sense of escapism,” he said energetically. Of course,

everyone can relate to that.But the most important ele-

ment that Curtet emphasized to the Post is the idea of using pho-tographs to create a collection of narratives.

“I want people to look at the pictures and smile,” he said, add-ing that he encourages the viewer to interpret each photograph cre-atively. Explaining that films are usually shot at a 24-frames-per-

second rate, Curtet is using the 25th frame to tell his story.

“[The exhibition] focuses on telling these stories with unex-pected framing, creative lighting and shadows, architectural lines, and an awareness of harmonious design,” according to a press re-lease. “The final compositions are both modern and yet reminiscent of the classic area which they cel-ebrate.”

Throughout the last two de-cades, Curtet has traveled to 60 countries in pursuit of capturing purposeful images. He has, at times, specialized in automotive, reportage, sports and commercial photography.

He and his wife Marlyne op-erate Curtet Photography & Mo-tion, where they work together in “a symbiotic relationship” to ensure each project maintains its intended vision, mood and style aesthetic.

Parenting Advice from Betsy Brown Braun

As the Palisades gears up for the opening of Palisades Village, I’m trying to figure out if I

will be comfortable dropping my kid off at a shopping center with her friends and coming to pick her up later. Do you think that’s safe for my soon-to-be 11-year-old?

It is so exciting that the open-ing of Palisades Village is almost here, at long last. And you are rais-ing an issue that I had not yet con-sidered about this new Palisades destination for us and our kids. Good for you! I am sure there are many parents who will need to address this privilege for the first time.

As I respond to the many ques-tions I receive about a child being ready for a privilege or responsi-bility, it depends on the situation and, most importantly, ON YOUR CHILD!

As charming as Palisades Vil-lage might be, none of us really knows what it will be like as it comes alive with people and cul-tivates a culture of its own. Each major mall seems to develop its own personality, an outgrowth not only of the types of stores, but also of the customers and the people whom it draws.

There are parents who will not allow their tween or young teen to go to one place or another. For ex-ample, they may say no the Prom-enade but yes to Century City. The Melrose area or Westfield Culver City draw a whole different group.

Parents tend to make these de-cisions based on stories they have

heard, rumors that circulate, what they have witnessed and what their kids’ peers are doing. It is perfectly legitimate for a parent to need to feel comfortable with a particular venue.

We certainly can say that Pal-isades Village will attract a lot of families. And there will be lots of eyes everywhere. A great example of “it takes a village” to grow a child!

As important, and likely more, is each child’s particular readiness for independent mall visits. Each child is a completely separate set of moving parts—experiences, abilities, maturity, genes, temper-ament and characteristics. There-fore, a permission can be granted only with each individual child considered, even within the same family.

I can tell you for sure, howev-er, that peer pressure should not be the overriding reason for any deci-sion that you make. Your decisions need to be based on your child—her readiness and maturity—and not what her friends are doing.

To help you gauge your partic-ular child’s readiness to go to Pal-isades Village independently, here are some questions you might ask yourself:

Is your child responsible? Does she complete her basic household responsibilities without reminders?

Does your child follow through with requests you have made?

Does your child follow basic rules without reminders?

Does your child argue with you about your family safety rules

or even break them? For example, does she forget to call you when she arrives at a friend’s house?

What do you allow your daughter to do now? I am not say-ing you should do the following, but they might be good measures. Do you allow your child to go to the library alone? Do you allow your child to go to Palisades Gar-den Café or the equivalent with friends? Do you send her into a grocery store to run a quick errand for you … alone?

While it should not be your sole reason, poll your kids’ friends’ parents to see how they are han-dling the question. They may offer you information you had not con-sidered.

Readiness to be independent at Palisades Village will be a process for a first-timer. It will be a ramp-ing up.

It’s like letting out a leash. As with driving, the newly licensed driver has clear, strict limits, like daytime driving only, at first.

At the mall: You sit separately at the theater. You sit at different tables at a meal. You shop at differ-ent stores and meet up afterward. And remember, it is a privilege to be earned, one that can easily be lost.

Middle school seems to be the age when we begin to allow cer-tain privileges. For some that is the start of seventh grade, for others it is the start of sixth.

Now that many sixth-graders are turning 12 years old (and not turning 11, as in years past), I feel comfortable with some indepen-dence at that age, depending upon the child, of course. And to clarify, I am always a fan of kids traveling with other trusted friends for safe-ty’s sake.

Presumably you have been working with your daughter since she was a toddler about how we keep ourselves safe in public. Hopefully, both you and she feel confident about how she keeps herself safe when out in the world.

On your marks, get set … grow!

Halford Ernest Maninger passed away peacefully at his home

in Pacific Palisades on Aug. 9.“Hal,” or “H,” was born in

1926 on a farm in Harper, Kansas. In 1943, he joined the Navy’s V-12 program at Pittsburgh’s Teacher’s College. He transferred to Notre Dame and graduated from the Na-val Academy (with distinction) in the Class of 1949. He first served as an ensign on the Gearing-class destroyer, Stickell (DD-888).

Hal saw combat during the Korean War and attended Sub-marine School in New London, Connecticut, after which, he was assigned to the Gato-class subma-rine, Grouper (SSK-214).

On July 14, 1951, Hal gave a tour of the submarine base to a young girl named Jean Moody, whom he asked on a date that day. They were married six months later, and over the next few years, Jean followed Hal on various as-signments: Officer’s Electronics School on Treasure Island, Cal-ifornia; the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard; and back to New Lon-don, where their first child was born.

In 1954, Hal left the Navy as a lieutenant junior grade to join Butler Manufacturing Com-pany in Kansas City, Missouri, then New York, before joining Northrop Corporation in 1956 in Los Angeles—having one child in each city.

Hal was deeply dedicated to Northrop, rising from an elec-tronics engineer into long-range planning and advanced systems marketing for the Aircraft Divi-sion. He considered his contribu-tion toward winning the contract

to design and build the B-2 Stealth Bomber to be the highlight of his career.

Hal balanced his work with loving devotion to his family, which settled in the seaside sub-urb of Pacific Palisades. He was active with Indian Guides, Boy Scouts and local baseball.

Hal retired in 1991 and be-came active in the Optimist Club, where he served as vice president and was elected co-Citizen of the Year in 1996 for his efforts to beautify Swarthmore Avenue.

Hal is remembered for his tireless optimism, endless aph-orisms and his love for golf—which was almost as great as his humbling handicap at his favorite course, Pen Mar.

He is survived by his sisters, Ruth and Amy; his wife, Jean; their children, Jill, Linda, John and Sarah “Sal”; and five grand-children. He was predeceased by his brother, Warren, and sister, Betty.

Private family services were held at St. Matthew’s Church in Pacific Palisades.

In lieu of flowers, please con-sider donations to the Palisades Optimist Club, P.O. Box 211, Pa-cific Palisades, CA 90272.

Spencer James Van Duzer passed away in his sleep of

natural causes on June 20 at the age of 22. He lived a full life sur-rounded by a family who adored him, and friends who treasured his enthusiasm and joy for life.

Spencer was the son of Kim and Rich Van Duzer, and grew up in Pacific Palisades with his old-er brother Denton and younger brother Hunter.

He attended elementary and middle school at Frostig School. He then ventured across the coun-try to attend high school and post-high school programs at River-view School in beautiful Cape Cod, Massachusetts, where he made lifelong friends.

At commencement, Spen-cer was awarded the Seth Cutler Award for his excellence in culi-nary skills. Maureen Brenner, the head of Riverview School, said, “Spencer always had a good word for everyone he met. He cared deeply for his classmates, and al-ways provided a helping hand to those in need.”

Spencer attended Cape Cod Community College where he studied landscaping.

Recently, Spencer had moved to a supported apartment in Lagu-na Beach, California, across the street from the beach, which made sense, as Spencer loved every-thing about the ocean and grew up riding the waves.

He was the self-proclaimed “Fish Whisperer” and was happi-est fishing in the ocean, spear fish-ing with his brothers, and fly fish-ing with his family in Sun Valley, Idaho. His passion and interest in the ocean continued as he served

as a docent at the Ocean Institute in Dana Point.

Spencer’s big heart and nat-ural ability to make friends made his transition to Laguna Beach a welcome one. Special Olympics was a very important part of his life, and he competed year round in basketball, softball and floor hockey alongside other amazing athletes and volunteers.

He built a strong bond with his Laguna Hills Hawk teammates, coworkers at Gelson’s and Panera where it felt like family. Spencer’s passion for sports was nonstop as he enjoyed running in local 10Ks and was training for the 2019 LA Marathon.

Spencer had just finished writ-ing a book where he shared his thoughts and reflections on how best to live a successful and hap-py life while dealing with learning challenges.

Spencer Van Duzer brought love and happiness to everyone who had the good fortune to meet him. His sense of humor, easy-go-ing manner and his contagious laugh will be missed.

The best way to celebrate and honor Spencer is to brighten an-other person’s day.

Zachary “Zach” Joseph Ray-mond, a successful investment

banker and finance professional, passed away June 24 at 56.

Zach grew up in the Palisades and attended Palisades Elementary and Palisades High. His father, Jo-seph, was 1977 Citizen of the Year and, with his wife, Alyce, ran a be-loved medical practice in the Santa Monica Bank building.

At Pali, Zach played varsity football and stayed friendly with some teammates for many years. He was also on the swim team, where he was honored as Most Inspirational. His Pali classmates also voted him Best Personality.

Zach went on to graduate from University of California, Los An-geles, with a major in psychology in 1984—and again with a Mas-ter of Business Administration in 1990. He received a Master of So-cial Welfare from Columbia Uni-versity in 1988.

As an investment banker, Zach specialized in municipal finance. He joined Lehman Brothers in 1990 and later moved to Wachovia to run its southeast division from Miami. He established AFS | Lat-in America LLC in 2011 to pursue investment opportunities in Latin America with a principal focus on Colombia.

In 2005, he married Mayerling Martinez, with whom he shared his love of cooking and travel.

Zach also enjoyed outdoor sports in the later years of his life. An expert fisherman and keen golfer, Zach brought the same en-thusiasm and commitment to these pursuits as in everything he did.

Zach is survived by his wife,

siblings An-thea, Toby, Briony, Melis-sa and Joshua, and his neph-ews Peter and Charlie Starr.

A memori-al service will be held at Corpus Christi Church on Oct. 20 at 1:30 p.m. A reception at a private home in the Palisades will follow. Email [email protected] for details. All who remember Zach and the Raymond family are welcome.

Palisadian-Post Thursday, September 6, 2018SportS

By STEVE GALLUZZOSports Editor

The cross country season is a marathon not a sprint and Pal-

isades High’s girls and boys teams hope to be crowned section cham-pions after both finished second to qualify for the state meet last fall.

Palisades’ girls squad enters the season No. 2 in the City Di-vision I rankings behind defend-ing champion Granada Hills, but El Camino Real, San Pedro and Monroe will also be contenders.

The Dolphins return six of their top seven runners from last year (only Kimia Samandi gradu-ated), including reigning City indi-vidual champion Miranda Schriv-er and two-time City 3200-meter champion Sarah Bentley.

Schriver won City in 18:18.30 and was 53rd at the state meet in a shade over 19 minutes as a freshman last fall. Bentley, who was sick but still ran at City finals last year, clocked 20:02.3 at state, the Dolphins’ third scorer behind Schriver and Samandi.

Also back are junior Elisa Kim (17th at City finals last year), senior Brittany Darrow (18th in the City cross country finals and City champion in the 800 meters in the spring), senior Jessica Bier-schenk (21st at City finals last fall) and senior Skylar Smith, the Dol-phins’ sixth runner a year ago.

Palisades’ boys are also sec-ond in the City preseason Division I rankings. El Camino Real, win-ner of three of the last four City team titles, lost reigning CIF state champion Justin Hazell to grad-uation but still enters the season a slight favorite. Granada Hills, which won the frosh/soph title last year, also figures to be in the mix along with Garfield and Marshall.

Despite the graduation of Ben

Hamer, who was runner-up to Ha-zell in the City finals last fall, the Dolphins’ depth gives them an excellent chance to stand atop the podium in November.

Senior Brent Smith, third at last year’s City finals in 15:40.31, has a chance to become only the second male in section history to place in the top 10 in the varsity fi-nals race four years in a row. He’ll be joined by sophomores Mason Cadden and Lucas Schriver and junior Alec Stewart—all of whom ran under 17 minutes at City fi-nals—and senior Ryan Breitman.

The season starts Saturday at the Rosemead Invitational, fol-lowed by the Woodbridge Classic on Sept. 15 at Silverlakes Sports Complex in Corona.


Fourteen seconds are all that the Palisades High varsity football

team needed to take command in last Friday’s annual Charter Bowl against Granada Hills. That’s how much time it took Darion Robin-son to catch the opening kickoff, find a seam and race 90 yards for a touchdown that sent the Dolphins on their way to a hardfought 28-13 victory—their seventh straight win in a rivalry that began in 2006.

On the fifth play of Granada Hills’ first series, junior lineback-er intercepted a pass and returned it 30 yards for a touchdown. Just like that the Dolphins led 14-0.

“I looked at the quarterback when they snapped the ball and I knew the tight end was gone, so I sat back in coverage and he threw the ball right to me,” Riley said. “I almost didn’t realize that I had it. I turned my head and saw a receiver running towards me so I turned on the afterburners. That was my first interception for a touchdown ever in my seven years of football, so afterwards I grabbed the ball, ran straight to my dad [James] on the sideline and jumped on him.”

Riley had a good vibe about the game even before it started.

“Right from the beginning of the JV game when Sloane [Senof-sky] threw that long pass to Justin [Gilbert] I knew it was going to be our night,” he said. “Then, when

Darion took that kick the distance I had a feeling we’d win.People don’t like to give this team credit but we had 14 points before our offense took the field. That shows we’re a well-balanced team.”

After blowing out their first two opponents, the host Dolphins (3-0) needed the full 48 minutes to secure their third victory of the season. There were a few tense moments in the fourth quarter that had fans at Stadium by the Sea on the edge of their seats, but after four straight incompletions, the Highlanders (0-3) turned the ball over on downs with 58 sec-onds left and Pali High Coach Tim Hyde could finally start celebrat-ing his sixth Charter Bowl win.

Pali High Football Hosts South Gate

The Palisades High football team hosts South Gate to-

morrow with a chance to start 4-0 for the first time in six sea-sons under Coach Tim Hyde.

The Dolphins were 3-0 en-tering last year’s game at South Gate and led by 17 points in the third quarter before falling 32-31. It proved a costly defeat for Palisades come playoff time, as the Rams were seeded second in Division I—one spot higher than the Dolphins—by virtue of the head-to-head win.

“South Gate is one of the 10 best programs in the City over the last four years and this team is no different,” Pali High Coach Tim Hyde said. “Tail-back Carlos Sanchez is the best we’ve seen and linebacker Lu-cio Rodriguez is returning All-City and leads a typical Eastern League defense, which is all about attacking.”

South Gate (2-1) has won two in a row since a 50-14 loss at Eagle Rock in its opener. The Rams beat Banning 12-7 on the road Aug. 24 and beat Jefferson 28-10 at home last Thursday.

“This is our biggest chal-lenge so far,” Hyde said. “South Gate comes in battle tested and this will be an early playoff game for both teams.”

The JV game is at 4 p.m. Friday, followed by varsity at 7.

QUINNPERRY

Charter Bowl(Continued from Page 7) “It sounds cliche but the hardest thing to do is win a football game,” Hyde said. “So much has to hap-pen. This our trophy game, we love it and we take as much pride as we can from this game.”

Granada Hills went three-and-out on its second possession, but seemed to settle down after that. Palisades began its first drive near midfield and threatened to break the game open, marching to the Granada Hills 31. However, the Highlanders recovered a fumble on fourth down at their own 35 and proceeded to march inside Palisades’ 10 before settling for a 30-yard field goal by Andrew Pena early in the second quarter.

Palisades drove 67 yards in eight plays on its next possession, capped by a seven-yard keeper by quarterback Daniel Hayes that made it 21-3 with 6:43 left in the second quarter.

Granada Hills punted on its next possession and Palisades took over at its 21. Four plays lat-er, receiver Will Janney caught an underthrown ball up the left side-line and sprinted to the end zone, but the score was nullified by a penalty.

Despite a sack by defensive end Jack Stansell the Highlanders drove to the Dolphins’ 25 before Janney intercepted a badly under-thrown pass in the end zone for a touchback seven seconds before halftime. Hayes took a knee to run out the clock and Palisades head-ed to the locker room with a seem-ingly safe 18-point lead.

“I was a little nervous because they played two Southern Section teams but no City teams so it was hard to gauge just how good they were,” Hyde said. “Then when we scored 14 points in the first cou-ple of minutes it looked good but momentum can swing very fast in a football game. That’s why you have to keep playing like the score is zero-zero.”

Pena booted a 25-yard field goal to cap Granada Hills’ first drive of the second half and forced Palisades to punt on its first drive. The Highlanders drove to the 50-yard line on their next possession before a sack by defensive end Immanuel Newell forced them to

punt as the third quarter ended. Palisades used seven playes

to move from its own 30 to the Gramada Hills 40, but Jalen Kaleb Thompson picked off a pass over the middle and raced 55 yards for a touchdown to cut the Dolphins’ lead to eight points with 9:17 left.

It was the first interception thrown by Hayes in 41 attempts this year.

All of a sudden it was a one-score game and the visitors had all the momentum. Palisades punted from its own 46 on its ensuing possession, but a well-placed punt by Tommy Meek pinned Granada Hills inside its 10 and four plays later the Highlanders punted.

“Our JV got seven shutouts last year so our goal is eight,” said Riley, whose older brother Syr is a freshman offensive lineman at Washington State, which won its opener 41-19 Saturday afternoon at Wyoming. “When our offense is struggling, it’s our job to go out there and make plays.”

A short punt gave Palisades the ball at the Granada Hills 38 and it took the Dolphins just four plays to score, the last a nine-yard run up the middle by Max Palees, who finished with 115 yards in 15 carries.

Now trailing by 15 with under two minutes left, Granada Hills

Kai Forbath Vikings.com

The Minnesota Vikings released vet-eran kicker Kai Forbath two days

after he missed a 41-yard field goal in the team’s preseason game against Jacksonville. He will be replaced by rookie Daniel Carlson.

Forbath grew up in the Highlands and starred at Notre Dame High in Sherman Oaks and UCLA. He made a career-high 32 field goals in 2017, six from 50 yards or more, but missed a league-most five extra points.

The 30-year-old Forbath is the eighth-most accurate kicker in NFL history, with an 85.9 percent success rate on field goals.

The final play of last Friday af-ternoon’s grudge game versus

Granada Hills was a perfect end-ing to a near-perfect 48 minutes for the Palisades High junior var-sity football team.

Freshman Jack Babala picked off a wobbly pass and returned it 35 yards for a touchdown as time expired—the third interception of the day by the Dolphins’ opportu-nistic defense—and he was met in the end zone by a pack of delirious teammates, all of whom contribut-ed to a 42-0 drubbing of the High-landers at Stadium by the Sea.

Palisades (2-1) couldn’t have gotten off to a better start, kicking off and forcing a three-and-outon Granada Hills’ first possession. On the Dolphins’ first offensive play, quarterback Sloane Senof-sky threw a deep pass along the sideline to Justin Gilbert, who was shoved out of bounds inside the Highlanders’ 5-yard line. Tailback Brandon Forrest scored on the next play. Isaias Alegria’s three-yard touchdown run put Palisades up 14-0 late in the first quarter.

“This is like our little Char-ter Bowl,” said Alegrias, a soph-omore from South Central LA who didn’t start playing football until he arrived at Pali High last year. “We don’t get to play for a trophy but the dougnuts we get on Monday will be our trophy. Coach told me before my touchdown if I didn’t get it he was going to give it to Ricardo [Abrego], so I had to do it. What I’m most proud of is how we finished the game. Even when we were way ahead, everyone was pulling for the guys on the field. We’re like one big family.”

Johhny Babala intercepted a pass over the middle but Palisades

had to punt four plays later and the Dolphins recovered a fum-ble on the Highlanders’ ensuing drive. Senofsky completed passes to Jaxon Bell and Barrett Gordon before hitting a wide open Josh-ua Eastland for a 32-yard score. Abrego’s one-yard plunge capped Palisades’ next drive and an inter-ception by Ryan Crayton set up a 30-yard field goal by Sebastian Conway-Burt to end the first half.

Senofsky scored on a keeper to increase the lead to 36-0 early in the third quarter.

There were no surprises when the Palisades High boy water polo team took on Santa Monica in its season opener Saturday at theVikings’

indoor pool. Only weeks before players on both sides wore identical caps as club teammates for Westside Aquatics, but friendships are put on hold once the prep season begins.

“We know their tendencies and they know ours,” Pali High senior Zach Wunder, who scored one of the Dolphins’ goals in their 10-4 loss. “This is a big game because it’s become a neighborhood rivalry. There’s a lot of trash talking beforehand. Today we came in too overconfident and underestimated them a little. Our core group has played together at least four years. Their goalie knows our fakes so it was hard to score.”

Matthew Garcia had a goal and three steals, Luis Urias had one goal and Oliver Grant added a goal and two steals for the Dolphins, who were behind 6-3 at halftime. Junior goalie Stuart Brien made five saves.

Palisades beat Santa Monica twice last year—by six goals in a non-league game in September at Maggie Gilbert Aquatic Center and by one goal at the South Bay Invitational in October.

“Two years ago they beat us early in the year but we destroyed them later on in a tournament, so hopefully we can do that again,” Urias said. “Our club team plays more of a perimeter style where this team is more about movement. We have the potential to be Pali’s strongest team yet.”

Pali High Volleyball Conquers ECR Coach Carlos Gray figured his

youthful squad would take its lumps early in the season while players adjusted to new positions, but so far the Palisades High girls volleyball team has done what the Dolphins typically do—win.

The Dolphins faced their first major challenge of the season last Thursday against El Camino Real and emerged victorious, 28-26, 25-17, 20-25, 25-19. It was a most impressive result given that Pali-sades’ best hitter, senior Alex Lai-ta, was injured and didnt’t play.

However, the Dolphins were just getting started. The next day they journeyed over the hill for the Chatsworth Invitational and went 2-1 in pool play, sweeping Marshall and Canoga Park be-fore falling in three sets to Buena to advance to the Gold Division

bracket on Saturday. After sweeps of Cleveland, Chatsworth and Rio Mesa, Palisades found itself in a rematch with Buena. This time the Dolphins prevailed, 25-22, 27-25. The semifinals pitted the Dolphins against Newbury Park, coached by former Pali High pilot Chris Forrest. The Dolphins rallied for a 23-25, 25-16, 15-11 triumph. Al-though it lost to Westlake in the fi-nal, Palisades defeated every City team it faced while opposite Car-oline Kedeshian and setter Keely McMahon made All-Tournament.

“I love the fact that this group is so willing to work,” Gray said. “This is as good as you can feel after a loss. To get this far without Alex is a feather in our cap. The other girls have really stepped up and when we get her back we’ll be that much better.”

A deep lineup is supposed to be the strength of the Pal-isades High girls tennis team this fall and that depth

was evident throughout last Tuesday’s season opener at Beverly Hills.

Coach Bud Kling began subbing his starters out af-ter the first rotation and by the time the match was over the Dolphins had won 17 out of 18 round robin sets and the younger players picked up valuable experience.

“Between varsity and JV everyone got to play and we only lost one set all day,” Coach Bud Kling said. “So this is a good start.”

Two days later Palisades was back in action against host Santa Monica and the match was much closer, but the Dolphins again prevailed 10-8, even without one of their best singles players, Sophia Amato. Her twin sister Ireland won two out of three sets at No. 1, freshman Iris Berman won two out of three at the No. 2 spot and Noe Winter won two out of three at No. 3 singles.

In doubles, senior captain Alex Miller and sopho-more Halsey Hulse swept 6-3, 7-6(3), 6-0, at No. 1 while Kalea Martin and Emma Akiyama won one set at No. 2.

Charter Bowl(Continued from Page 8)had no choice but to throw and knowing what was coming allowed the Dolphins’ defensive backs to blanket the opposing receivers and prevent any completions.

The Dolphins improved to 9-4 in the Charter Bowl and have outscored Granada Hills 244-107 in the last seven meetings, but be-fore they were allowed to pose for photos with the shiny bronze tro-phy that will remain in Palisades hands for another year, Hyde had a stern message for his team.

“You have to earn victories...they had 10 injured guys and a tight end playing quarterback, so you got lucky tonight,” he said. “It was a sloppy game on our part.

We had about six or seven first-down plays of eight or more yards that were called back on penalties, we had bad turnovers and we gave up a first down on a 4th-and-25 play, so there’s a lot to clean up.”

Hayes completed eight of 13 passes for 117 yards, Jake Nadley had four catches for 71 yards and Cristian Popescu had three recep-tions for 35 yards. Zachariah-Aus-tin Atlantis Hawkins rushed for 105 yards in 25 carries and Dylan Bowman completed seven of 17 passes for 123 yards for Granada Hills, which won four of the first six Charter Bowl matchups.

“The way I look at it we’re up three tiebreakers and that’ll fac-tor in somewhere along the line,” said Hyde, referring to the Dol-phins’ first three wins—all against City Division I teams. “We have South Gate next, then Brentwood up the street, then our bye week, then we host Fairfax in our league opener so we don’t leave Sunset Boulevard for over a month. We really want the next one because the South Gate loss last year was probably the toughest to swallow in my six years here. We’ve never given away a fourth-quarter lead like that.”

Palisades led 24-7 late in the third quarter last September at South Gate, but the Rams rallied to score 25 points in the final 17 minutes to pull out a 32-31 win.

Hyde is Palisades’ fourth head coach in the Charter Bowl era, preceded by Leo Castro, Kelly Loftus and Perry Jones.

Riley, one of the Dolphins’ four team captains, believes unity

has been the key to their success. “The game started with a spe-

cial teams play and it ended on a defensive play,” he said. “We find different ways to win. Last week, the offense was clicking and that got us a huge lead, so every game is different, but we don’t have last names on our jerseys. The only name you’ll find is ‘Palisades’ on the front. That’s all we play for.”

Student Action

Volunteer effort

By CHRISTIAN MONTERROSAReporter

Dr. Marna Geisler first laid eyes on the land and people of Myanmar while on vacation in 2005.

But while many people’s first instinct would be to move to their newly beloved location, Geisler began thinking how she could use her medical expertise to help the underdeveloped country.

After forming a partnership with the Myanmar Compassion Project, a group of local doctors that run mobile clinics, Geisler’s medical mission grew into her own full-blown nonprofit organization, now known as the Student Action Volunteer Effort.

SAVE works to help patients that have limited or no access to doctors and expand the horizons of students who also want to make a difference.

Alison Howard, 18, was one of those students hoping to make a small change in the world and has now been to Myanmar four times and counting. She has learned how to identify and clean fungal infec-tions and can determine certain symptoms that can speed up the process of a medical consultation.

Howard said one doctor can see up to 100 pa-tients in a day, and she helps in any way she can. With trips lasting 10 to 14 days, the organization finds a way for students of every experience level to get involved and safely participate.

“What’s great is that students can be involved at any level,” Howard said in an interview with the Palisadian-Post. “So if a student maybe is not so good with seeing blood, they’ll be in eyeglasses so they’ll help children try on different eye glasses, and look through reading books and help kids who never even knew they had a problem with eyesight.”

Howard graduated high school in El Segundo, but has spent much time in Pacific Palisades with her father who is vice principal at Palisades Charter High School.

Because of her close relationship with Geisler and SAVE, Howard plans to start her own nonprofit one day and organize medical missions of her own, closely following the doctors footsteps. She plans to seek her EMT certification while learning more about finances to be able to coordinate both sides of a nonprofit.

“Dr. Marna Geisler saw that students were needing service hours and they would go on service trips and sometimes come back and tell her about how they went to Uganda and paid all this money and all they did was build one sandbox and the rest [of the time] they went sightseeing,” Howard said.

“That’s still great that they got to experience the culture but something that Marna was really pas-sionate about is that she wanted to make a differ-ence and also show these students in the Palisades and Santa Monica, how they can make a real change and how they can really go into those local and rural areas and see the truth—not just what those tourist sites want to show you.”

Howard said she has always felt safe while traveling the troubled country, all thanks to the co-ordination and planning by Serendipity Travel in Myanmar.

“My mom even says now, ‘Sometimes I think you're even safer in Myanmar with them than if you were going to Downtown LA or going to concerts,’ because it’s just such a family,” she said. Howard keeps in regular contact with friends she has made in Myanmar over social media and has built person-al connections with all of them.

With SAVE, students spend the majority of their time contributing to the cause, visiting different or-phanages and monasteries to set up medical clinics with the help of local doctors.

“We’re creating more long-lasting solutions. Fundraising for two water filters that will help pro-vide better drinking water. Cleaning dishes, clothes and yourself. Making sure that were donating these to orphanages that are in severe need,” she said, noting that dirt brown water and terrible conditions were far too common in Myanmar.

Clearly determined to continue on this path, Howard urges other students to try it too. There is no age limit or previous experience required—just the will to help those in less fortunate situations.

For those with more severe illnesses outside the scope of services offered by SAVE, the organization arranges a hospital stay and appropriate care free of charge to the patient ensuring they get what they need.

“Last year we met a child with a hole in his heart and now he’s being consistently kept up with and he’s seeing a doctor all because Dr. Geisler makes sure that those payments continue to be sent for him,” Howard said.

“My life has been changed because of this or-ganization and I want to help change the lives of others and help others see similar things that I saw.”

Academy where she was respon-sible for recruiting future stu-dents, as well as developing and executing outreach strategies. She also served as a member of the senior leadership and admin-istrative team.

“The Getty is known for its expansive collection, dedication to research and scholarship, and is a beacon of art and culture in Los Angeles and beyond,” Gu shared. “I see museums as among the most powerful aca-demic tools—as communicators of culture and history, and I rec-ognize artists as catalysts for so-cial change.”

Throughout her career, Gu has created programs that cov-ered diversity and inclusion strategic planning for the In-dependent School Alliance for Minority Affairs. She also led a College Partnership Initiative to create a seamless and supportive education pathway for students at KIPP LA Public Schools.

Working as a teacher, Gu “produced culturally relevant curriculum to engage diverse learners through the creation of signature classes utilizing art, hip-hop music, classic literature and philosophy,” according to a statement.

“We are delighted to wel-come Keishia to the Getty Mu-seum,” said Lisa Clements, assistant director, education, public programs and interpretive content. “Keishia excels at con-necting high-level strategic plan-ning, processes and partnerships to very individual educational outcomes of access, inquiry and growth.

“Her thoughtful approach is a good match for the quality and character of our educational programs, which span kinder-garten through university institu-tional initiatives, teen programs, and on-site education for school groups and visitors.”

Gu will assume her role in early September.


Choirs are often underrated and don’t receive enough visibili-

ty, but Angel City Chorale is prov-ing to be leader in community-led musical entertainment.

Founded by singer-songwriter Sue Fink in 1993, this 160-mem-ber choir, comprised of men and women—including Palisadians—who range in age from 20 to 80 has headlined numerous major concerts and events during its 25-year tenure.

“The group’s mastery of a wide range of musical genres—in-cluding classical, gospel, jazz, pop and world music—has become its hallmark,” the website states.

Currently, the choir is com-peting as an esteemed musical contestant on Season 13 of NBC powerhouse TV show, “America’s

Got Talent.” Several proud Palisadians are

in the mix: Adam Wolman, vice president of communications at Pacific Palisades Democratic Club, who sings bass; Norman Helgeson, bass; Harry Eden, ten-or; and altos Cheryl Robinson and Marian Niles.

The choir has received a num-ber of standing ovations and gold-en buzzer hits from judge Simon Cowell, who declared they have a “fantastic combined energy,” as well as copious praise from for-mer Spice Girl Mel B, supermodel Heidi Klum and comedian Howie Mandel.

If you haven’t been viewing the season, many clips of their performances are available on YouTube. Don’t miss their re-markable rendition of Toto’s “Af-rica” (it boasts over 11 million views) and an interpretation of

“This is Me” from the recent film, “The Greatest Showman.”

As well as their AGT pursuits, Angel City Chorale is committed to supporting those who don’t have access to essential needs. They partner with nonprofit or-ganizations such as homeless shelters and crisis centers to pro-vide food, clothing and supplies, samples of their holiday musical repertoire and, often, a portion of concert proceeds.

The AGT semi-finals will air at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 11. The choir is also preparing for their 25th anniversary fall con-cert, “Silver and Gold,” on Dec. 1 and 2.

is excellent.Tratto offers a variety of au-

thentic Italian menu items, in-cluding pastas, salads, chicken, salmon, pork chops, steak, with the veal topping out the price list at around $38.

Currently, only beer and wine are offered, with a mostly Italian list prepared by Bortoluzzi’s som-melier wife, which ranges in price from $12 to $18 per glass, with full bottles of champagne and the higher-end Barolo available.

Finally, as I finish my appetiz-er of calamari and entree of gnoc-chi, I ask Bortoluzzi how he likes the location.

He sat down next to me and said, “We are thrilled about the lo-cation, it’s probably the best spot that we could ever hope for. The Palisades is a fantastic community with real and genuine people that showed us lots of support since day one.”

Bortoluzzi escorted me to the

door and recited a motto that he learned back in his early of days working at his parents trattoria back in Italy: “Let them remem-ber that they are not your enemy. They are your colleagues. When you believe in what you do, the more people will walk in.”

Tratto is located in The Vil-lage at 15300 Sunset Blvd. It is are open Monday through Sunday, from 11 a.m. until 10 p.m. with a special Happy Hour (Aperitivo) from 3 to 5 p.m. Brunch is served Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.


By JAMES BRASHERContributing Writer

Trattoria in English rough-ly translates from Italian to

mean a family-owned, authentic and affordable Italian restaurant. In the place where Tivoli once served the Palisades community, the new—and seemingly true au-thentic—Italian restaurant Tratto was established to be just that, ac-cording to General Manager Enri-co Bortoluzzi.

It doesn’t take long to see that Tratto is just as its name suggests. Instantly, one feels transported to a small yet popular restaurant in a village in Italy.

I felt like I was on vacation in a rustic Italian village, with a warm vibe of light music, wel-coming waiters and local families enjoying each other’s company and the aroma of the open kitchen.

“We are a casual Italian Trat-toria that wants to establish itself as the restaurant where local busi-ness people and families gather to have a great meal and a fantastic glass of wine,” Bortoluzzi told the Palisadian-Post.

A true Italian, Bortoluzzi hails from a small village outside Ven-ice. He grew up working for his parents who owned and operated a small restaurant, which is still run by his brother. Even though he came to the States to be a pilot, fate and a passion for good food and service brought him full circle and back to his roots.

As I enter and sit down to dine, I quickly notice that the in-terior of Tratto has been redone with rustic, wood-lined walls, bar seating, a vaulted ceiling and wine bottles stacked and ready for con-sumption. I’m drawn to the menu and old-fashioned plates, which complete the small town, family vibe.

I also notice the new, open

kitchen, specifically designed for chef Samuele Minin so that pa-trons feel closer to home. Minin grew up working for his family in their local Trattoria in Palmano-va, Italy, where he developed his passion to make authentic Italian cuisine.

“The simplicity of the plate, the quality of the food, plus all the produce, vegetables, meats and wine, was local,” Minin ex-plained.

A quick bite of his insalata or

oven-baked pizzas and one can tell that Minin has a flare for good food. He went to culinary school in Arte Terme and began work-ing his way up from line cook to chef, making authentic Italian cui-sine in places like Arizona, Texas, Beverly Hills and now in Pacific Palisades.

Keeping to the name, Tratto is truly a family run, Italian restau-rant that can accommodate only 50 to 60 people. It’s intimate, rus-tic yet sophisticated, and service

Most people claim to be ei-ther a dog or cat person, but

longtime Highlands resident Janie Crane exudes enthusiasm for both species.

“I just love animals,” she told the Palisadian-Post.

In fact, Crane has such affec-tion for furry creatures that, when she saw a sign requesting “emer-gency fosters” at nonprofit organi-zation Voice For The Animals in 2014, she signed up right away.

Numerous animals have now passed through her home.

“Usually they arrive in a state of distress,” Crane explained. “They’re injured, malnourished, abused, shy, scared—so their ten-der souls need love and care.”

It takes about three months for the animals to be rehabilitated.

Currently, Crane has a Chi-huahua named Rey whom she fostered to adopt.

“He was very mean at first and

bit people,” she said with a laugh. But he’s calmed down. Leader of the pack is an 11-year-old Bichon/Shih Tzu mix named Teddy (not adopted).

Crane pointed out that both dogs get along well with her gin-ger cats from VFTA, Simba and Chester.

“Dogs learn to love cats just fine,” she said matter-of-factly.

Over the years, Crane has wit-nessed the growing friendship of many animals and their owners.

“It’s so rewarding when you find a match,” she said.

Elaborating, Crane shared that once she came across an adorable

dog named Toto, named after his doppelganger in “The Wizard of Oz.” When Toto was eventually placed with a foster, Crane likened it to “Toto being reunited with his Dorothy.”

VFTA specializes in rescuing and finding homes for elderly an-imals, which Crane emphasized, can be ideal companions.

“They are mature, not destruc-tive and generally wonderful com-pany,” she said. “It’s great to have a friend around.”

Crane has “loved every min-ute [of fostering]” and encourages other people to try it.

For convenience, VFTA will soon be setting up an adoption station at the Pacific Palisades Farmers Market.

An abundance of sweet dogs and cats await the next adventure in their lives.

For information about fos-tering, or the variety of other programs that VFTA offers, visit vftafoundation.org.

(310) 454-1321 § www.PaliPost.com

By CARYS THOMPSONJunior Reporter

Do you ever feel like you’re addicted to your phone? I think we all do in some

way. My phone is an iPhone 5SE, which I got for my birthday when I was 10.

Research shows that roughly 50 percent of teens feel they are addicted to their phone.

A fascinating 2016 survey by Common Sense Media also revealed that 72 percent of teens feel the need to immediately respond to texts, social networking messages and other notifications.

With all of this technology it seems as if our entire lives are circled around this tiny piece of metal and plastic that is glued to us night and day. So, if I asked you to give up your phone for a day, what would you say? Yes or no? Or perhaps it’s a maybe?

Either way, I tried it and let me say … it was no easy task.

To start the experiment, I asked some of my friends if they would join me in not us-ing their phones/main electronic device for a day. I was actually surprised when they—and even some of their parents—all said no! So, it looked like it would be just me.

During the first hour of the separation from my phone, I was completely bored senseless.

I had nothing to do except, of course, go on my phone, which I clearly was not allowed

to do. It made me wonder what kids without cellphones did in their free time. Whatever they did I was flabbergasted how they man-aged not to die of boredom.

When I told my dad this he just rolled his eyes and buried himself in his laptop. I could tell he wasn’t going to be much help.

Throughout the day I found out that I didn’t need to use my phone at all. I found multiple ways to occupy my free time. One of them was that I worked on tasks I needed to finish— such as my summer reading list— and I also volunteered at a few places.

It felt good not having to check my screen for any messages or going on YouTube. It was a big change to my whole day.

The day after the experiment when I got my phone back, I felt relieved—but also up-set. I felt relieved to know that I could text my parents and friends, but I felt upset because now I felt more tempted to go on my phone more, which was something that I didn’t want to do.

I don’t use apps like Instagram, Snapchat and WhatsApp to begin with. I mainly use my trusty phone for calls, texting, playing a few games and watching YouTube videos that my dad describes as “junk.”

The entire experience was fun and I really enjoyed it.

Sorry guys, I’ve got to go because some-one’s just texted me.
