After two years of construction and four years in the making,

Palisades Village opened to much fanfare Saturday morning in the heart of Pacific Palisades’ Village commercial hub at Sunset Boule-vard and Swarthmore Avenue.

Thousands attended the Sept. 22 opening of the $200-million outdoor development, led by de-veloper Rick Caruso, best known for The Grove and The Ameri-cana at Brand, before dissemi-nating throughout the three-acre property to explore the new ven-ue, amid free opening-day treats, including popsicles, pretzels and popcorn near the not-quite-open revived Bay Theatre, Cinépolis’ contemporary multiplex tribute to the beloved original (which closed in 1977 after two decades).

Visitors wandered the new venue, with an upscale tenant mix that includes high-end apparel and accessories Jennifer Meyer Jewelry, Tamara Mellon and Zim-mermann; eateries Hank’s and Blue Ribbon Sushi; and dessert specializers See’s Candies and McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams.

As Caruso noted during the opening ceremony, there are 20 women-owned businesses, includ-ing towne by Elyse Walker, the second local outlet by the name-sake’s Palisades-based owner.

Prior to the ribbon cutting, Paige Laurie ushered in the first wave of shoppers at what is her

third Vintage Grocers, steps away from the latest Amazon Books. Alongside Executive Director Daniel Barth and Store Director Adrian Casso, she welcomed vis-itors with free coffee, pastries and give-away bags—Palisadian Sam Lagana made the first-ever pur-chase at the new store.

“I’m here today because I’m so excited to finally walk in the Village again,” local Summer Saad told the Palisadian-Post.

“I’m just excited to have a good market,” added Palisadian of 40 years Lori Erenberg.

“It’s absolutely exquisite,” said Pacific Palisades Chamber of Commerce Chair Susan Payne, promising the Palisades Village is “revitalizing the entire Pali-sades.”

As an architect, Richard Blu-menberg, who will assume the Chamber chair position in Janu-ary, praised the Caruso touch on the outdoor mall experience.

“His centers are first class in terms of design and construc-tion,” Blumenberg said.

“The attention to detail is [un-paralleled],” Wilson added.

Much mirth unfurled during the ribbon-cutting program, where audience members in-cluded former Honorary Mayors Steve Guttenberg and Kevin Ne-alon, baseball great Joe Torre, and boutique owners Jennifer Meyer and Elyse Walker.

“Welcome to the Palisades Village,” Caruso exclaimed. “I’ve been waiting 15 years to say that.”

From the lectern, the storied developer chronicled his decade-and-a-half journey to establish the development, with the support of wife Tina, who was in the au-dience. After 100-plus communi-ty meetings, 102 engineers, 3,000 construction jobs created and two million hours of work, opening day had arrived on what used to be a parking lot.

After the grand opening of the new Palisades Village,

Palisadians are looking forward to getting some of their old Pal-isades back, starting with the Pa-cific Palisades Farmers Market on Swarthmore Avenue.

One week after the unveiling, there is still no word on the return of the market that has been tem-porarily operating at Palisades Charter High School since Octo-

ber 2016. “The Caruso people said

that they would wait until the crowds at the Palisades Village had dissipated and then arrange for the farmers market to return to Swarthmore,” said Richard Cohen, treasurer of the Pacific Palisades Community Council. “While they did not say so, I as-sumed they meant at least a few weeks.”

Representatives for the Pa-cific Palisades Farmers Market or Caruso were not immediately

available for comment.At the Sunday market on

March 4 of this year, fliers that were handed out said, “The mar-ket is moving back to Swarth-more. We have been told the move will happen in October. We do not have the exact move date as of yet.”

Pali High has not received word of the market moving back and is expecting to host the mar-ket as usual on Sundays, accord-ing to Ashley Austin, Pali High’s communication coordinator.

Farmers Market Return Date to Swarthmore Remains Unclear

The new Cinépolis USA Bay Theatre in Palisades Village

has hit a speed bump obtaining its liquor license after at least three Palisadians filed letters of protest to the California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control, ac-cording to public documents ob-tained by the Palisadian-Post.

Palisadians Ted Weitz, Robin Weitz and Sandra Eddy have each contested the license, citing rea-sons such as an over concentra-tion of liquor licenses in the area, its proximity to residential dwell-ings and Cinépolis’ lack of oper-ating history in the neighborhood.

“I am concerned about the na-ture of the operations; the concept of serving alcohol in a neighbor-hood movie theater that children will frequent, the adverse impact on the surrounding quiet residen-tial area (which includes my own residence) that serving alcohol will have due to the late opera-tion, noise, traffic, parking issues and other related annoyances and interruptions,” said Ted Weitz, a local business attorney, in his pro-test letter.

With at least seven liquor licenses in the Caruso project alone, the protesters are asking for the license to be removed or adjusted to terms they deem “ap-propriate.”

Weitz’s letter laid out seven conditions and restrictions that he is asking Cinépolis to adopt, including no alcohol service after 10 p.m. Monday through Satur-day, or after 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, no “push to call service” from inside the theater and no illumi-nated signs advertising alcoholic beverages.

Cinépolis has not reached out to discuss the letter, according to Weitz, but the theater is well aware of the delay.

“The well-being of our neigh-bors is of utmost importance to us and, since the first of Cinépo-lis USA’s eight luxury cinemas opened in 2011, we have been vigilant about adhering to all Al-cohol Beverage Control regula-tions,” said Luis Olloqui Aguirre, Cinépolis USA CEO, in a state-ment to the Post.

Aguirre stressed that all servers and employees undergo the ABC’s training program on checking identification and “pre-venting improper activity.”

“We are proud to have been in operation without incident since opening,” he said. “We are looking forward to opening in Palisades Village and joining the wonderful, close-knit community.

“It is our hope that this will be resolved quickly to avoid de-laying our opening any further so that we may provide the commu-

nity with the very best moviego-ing experience available as soon as possible.”

Protest letters can delay a li-cense by up to 95 days, according to the ABC, as applicant and pro-testers are given time to resolve the issues between themselves. If the letters are not withdrawn, the matter will go before an ad-ministrative law judge who will then recommend a decision to the ABC where either party can again appeal whatever decision is taken.

Businesses can also be grant-ed an Interim Operating Permit that would allow them to serve al-cohol until the matter is resolved, but Cinépolis has not done so, according to John Carr, public in-formation officer at the ABC.

For Weitz, it is not his first time taking on the Caruso project.

In 2015, Weitz filed a lawsuit in small claims court against Pal-isades Village Co, Caruso Man-agement Company, and American Wrecking Inc. for damages to his property on Monument Street, ac-cording to Weitz, during the early stages of construction. He was awarded $1,160 by the court.

One year later, as an advisory board member of a group called Protect Our Village, Weitz en-tered into a signed seven-page agreement with Rick Caruso, out-lining explicit details of operation for the project.

POV was formed by Palisadi-ans who lived near the project and wanted to reduce the traffic and noise impact of the project. As an act of good faith, Caruso entered the agreement and hoped all con-cerns had been addressed.

“POV also agrees that it will not appeal any interim or final city approval of the project or file litigation that challenges the proj-ect or seeks to unwind such ap-provals … ” the agreement said. Weitz’s protest letter does not mention his affiliation with POV, whose website is no longer active, as it remains unclear if Caruso will use this agreement to appeal the protest.

Cinépolis can still operate with no alcohol service but has not yet announced a concrete opening day with the project still displaying a heavy construction presence.

Renderings of the theater show that the new restaurant/bar, when open, will feature a 3,000-square-foot lobby in a 13,000-square-foot building that will house five auditoriums, re-clining leather seats, and full din-ing and drink service inside each auditorium.

“It’d be more accurate to say we are opening later this fall, rather than mid-October,” said MJ Salcido, a spokesperson for Cinépolis USA. “No specific date is yet available.”

“The thing you wanted the most was you wanted the Bay Theatre back,” Caruso continued.

Caruso thanked his staff and the city agencies who helped make the town center materialize.

“Everyone rallied in a very special way,” the Brentwood res-ident said.

After the mayor was called upon to approach the dais, May-or Eric Garcetti jokingly butted heads for the mic with the Pali-sades’ Honorary Co-Mayors Jan-ice and Billy Crystal.

“This is kind of awkward,” Garcetti said, grinning.

The LA mayor praised the neighborhood’s strong sense of goodwill and hospitality.

“Today is about your back-yard,” Garcetti said. “I hope Pa-cific Palisades will continue to be a welcoming, caring community.”

“Rick did just a phenomenal job,” added City Councilmember Mike Bonin, half-joking how tax generated by spending at Pali-sades Village should be applied to “resurface Chautauqua.”

Many mayoral jokes later, comedian Crystal seized the po-dium, jokingly marveling at the speed with which the develop-ment came together, “It took us a year-and-a-half to put a kitchen in,” he quipped—before calling the Palisades Village “the present and the future of our community.”

As Peter Trepp, who with wife Suzanne has lived in the Pal-isades for 13 years, put it while shopping on Saturday: “Quite clearly, the Palisades is never go-ing to be the same.”

Dear naysayers—including myself (because I don’t want piped in music):

It’s a hit. I don’t like crowds, but I went. I didn’t hate it. Not at all. First I went last night to a soft opening (I’m sure there’s a joke in there with the difference between a hard and soft opening) of the restaurant Porta Via, and ate some delicious bruschetta with drizzled olive oil and just the right amount of sea salt.

Giving Caruso’s design team props: They made great use of the space. I felt like I went to the Hamptons. And, if you were at any of the town hall meetings—and I was—it was the look he was going for.

Also, all the activity at—as in just now, when I walked through for my third time in 24 hours—is sort of thrilling. New York is my fa-vorite city because of the excitement. And, so far—it could be promis-ing. Restaurants to try. And, I will. You know—when they aren’t “fully committed.”

I approve and will start calling it by its given name: Palisades Vil-lage. And, I won’t keep calling it Grove West.

Bravo! P.S. Please don’t park on my block. Embury. Thanks.

Fredde Duke

Bravo

I looked up “obsequious” in the dictionary and it said “see Pali-Post fawning over Caruso on front page of 9/20/18 issue.” When I looked up “genuflecting” I found the same answer.

Annual Bicycle Rodeo Sponsored by Pacific Palisades Optimists will be conducted from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, April 25, at Palisades Recreation Center playground. Bikes will be inspected for safety, just as co-chairman Al Multan is checking out bikes of daughter Regina and neighbor Steven Esposito.

agreeWow! I’m SO glad someone thought to write in about how awful Elyse Walker’s employees are. They really are everything that makes LA hard to love. Snobbery is silly. Everyone should be friendly to everyone! It’s just common courtesy—especially if you are trying to get some commis-sion from my sale. I hope the shops in the newly opened village also take note.

agree iiElyse Walker needs to school its em-ployees in basic humility and respect toward customers. 9/10 times I am shopping in the store I feel as if I am being sized-up and judged and rare-ly will be offered help. I have also heard catty conversations among the employees passive-aggressively insulting customers who are in the store. This behavior goes against the typical welcoming environment I have come to love and expect in the Palisades. I urge Elyse Walker to take note and help keep the Palisades the positive and friendly place we know it to be.

DisagreeIt would have been nice if you would have asked to speak to the manager of Elyse Walker’s store regarding the rude sale staff. How interesting that you chose to publish your complaint in a public forum anonymously, how calculating and petty. You were not giving “advice,” you were taking a cheap shot. I am not a regular cus-tomer in Elyse Walker’s store and sometimes I shop in the store in my workout clothes, but when I do, I am always treated with kindness and re-spect. I think you should take your own “advice” and shop somewhere else and stop trying to tear someone else’s business down. That is com-mon courtesy.

FireworksThe fireworks at 11:15 p.m. on Sept. 20 at the construction site area were very annoying. This is a pet-friendly community, people work and arise early in the AM for commutes—very startling to hear the noise at that time of night and discourteous. Not a great way to open a new center, neighbor.

applauseCongratulations Rick Caruso and our community! My family braved the Disneyland-like crowds of the opening and it was fantastic! Thank you, Rick, for making our village beautiful again. I LOVED the piped in music!

gratefulThank you to the entire Caruso team—some of whom we’ve met at Subway—for your efforts on our be-half and your kindness and patience explaining big machinery and other building concepts.

More MuzakEquating Frank Sinatra to muzak cer-tainly demonstrates a person’s level of sophistication ... or lack thereof. At Caruso’s Calabasas Commons the music of those other muzak hacks Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett, and Nat King Cole is also played during the day. Just slightly better than Pali-sades traffic noise.

BlindersIt’s astounding how people in this town have blinders on when it comes to this new mall. All the way up in The Highlands they are telling the Alphabets to deal with it and down the chain it goes by neighborhood. What will you deal with not living in the neighborhood? The answer is nothing detrimental to your lives. It’s like telling people in Flint, Mich-igan: “Stop complaining, you have water, drink it you whiners.”

Spotted in the Palisadian-Post:

June 5, 1969

Bees were blamed by firemen for a blaze that Monday gutted two rooms in a fashionable Palisades home.

At about 12:30 p.m. sparks from the chimney, which was invaded by a swarm of bees, were blown to the roof.

A member of the house-hold reportedly had shortly before built a fire in the fire-place to evacuate the bees, apparently igniting an ob-ject in the chimney.

Two adult women “became exhausted” while hiking near the 14400 block of Sunset Blvd. in Pacific Palisades at approximately 5:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 24, according to LAFD Spokesperson Amy Bastman. LAFD Station 69 responded to the call, and the pa-tients were hoisted to safety. No injuries were reported. —TRILBY BERESFORD

The city of Los Angeles and Caltrans have been ordered by a jury to pay $9.1 million to Robert Jeffrey Watts, a cyclist who swerved on the PCH to avoid hitting a pile of sand and rocks on the street and was then hit by a truck, according to the LA Times.

The incident, which occurred in July 2014, left Watts with a traumatic brain injury that rendered him unable to continue working at his camera company.

...it’s easy!

By SARAH SHMERLINGEditor-in-Chief

Two days ahead of the Pali-sades Village ribbon-cutting

ceremony, celebrities, community members and store owners gath-ered to celebrate at a black tie gala under the stars at the then-nearly open development on Sept. 20.

Complete with a red carpet, celebrity guests included Charlize Theron, Mindy Kaling, Camil-la Belle and John Legend—who wrapped up the evening with an intimate performance.

After an hour-long cock-tail hour, guests made their way to Swarthmore, where dinner service was interspliced with speeches from local officials and jokes from Master of Ceremonies and Former Honorary Mayor of the Palisades Kevin Nealon.

“This is going to be life-changing, ladies and gentle-man,” Nealon started, “for our credit card debt. It is going to be monumental.

“All I can say is I’m glad it’s here—I no longer have to use the bathroom at Gelson’s,” he joked.

Following the first course, butter lettuce salad with heir-loom cherry tomatoes, avoca-do and fine herbs topped with champagne vinaigrette, Nealon

returned to the stage to introduce Honorary Co-Mayors Billy and Janice Crystal.

“We said, ‘We’re going to de-liver a village,’ so I said, ‘Who can do this?’” Billy said. “And then I met Rick and I sat him down and I said, ‘Listen, here’s $3,500. Just go wild.”

“Do whatever you want,” Jan-ice added, before making jokes about how well the snow removal is going under the mayorship and putting tariffs on Brentwood and Malibu.

After a second course of grilled filet mignon, shrimp scam-pi, sautéed spinach, and summer truffle macaroni and cheese, Ne-alon brought Caruso up to the stage.

“And all of this?” Nealon said, pointing around Palisades Village. “Just a little smaller than

his walk-in closet.”Caruso first thanked the var-

ious mayors of the Palisades—both honorary and Mayor of Los Angeles Eric Garcetti—city offi-cials and city staff for their sup-port during the project.

“There was clarity to what this community wanted,” Caruso said about the 900-person mara-thon meetings that took place at Palisades Charter High School when the project was first coming together.

“I want to thank the city—the city, at the end of the day, when we were moving so fast … they had full-time inspectors here be-cause we were working so quick.”

Caruso then went on to honor members of his staff that helped get Palisades Village up and run-ning, including Michael Gazzano, with Steadfast Awards—named

for the statue that now stands across from Cinépolis.

“I could bring up 1,000 peo-ple—I promise you I’m not,” Caruso said. “But the other thing that that statue represents is the hard work that people do that ac-tually get their hands dirty that create these places. It’s easy for me to get the praise, and I appre-ciate it and I love it, but the reality is there are some people that work really hard.”

After dessert, summer fruit crumble with vanilla bean ice cream, John Legend took the stage to perform hits, including “Love Me Now” and “All of Me.”

After wrapping his set with “Green Light,” fireworks lit up the sky at around 11:15 p.m.—a signature celebratory wrap-up at Caruso properties.

‘Where the Stars Meet the Sea’(Continued from Page 4)

By SARAH SHMERLINGEditor-in-Chief

With new ideas constantly circulating about how to

get the whitest teeth in town—including a recent article that of-fered 30 tips—Dr. Maria Tapia with Dentistry By Design dispels some of the rumors and reveals some truths.

Lights, mouthwash and tooth-paste that promise whiter teeth are all myths, Tapia explained.

“There are three reasons why teeth will get whiter no matter what: concentration of the prod-uct, time of exposure and frequen-cy of use,” Tapia said, adding that most whitening products are per-oxide-based, with different modi-fications and concentrations.

“So in a mouth rinse, the strength of peroxide is low,” Tapia continued. “How long do you rinse your teeth? Less than 30 sec-onds, right?”

Tapia explained that this length of exposure and concen-tration are not enough to produce long-lasting results.

“Whitening toothpaste works for one reason,” Tapia said, “they have baking soda in it—an abra-sive.”

So while someone using whit-ening toothpaste may see results, it’s actually just the toothpaste re-moving surface stains like coffee and tea, but they won’t change the internal color of the tooth, which gets darker as we age.

“The fact is, your tooth col-or will be darker than what your teeth are today,” Tapia said. “It will happen, it’s part of aging beautifully.”

Another trending whitening tool? Charcoal-based toothpastes.

“I am not sure if the teeth re-ally get whiter,” Tapia explained, stating that she has not seen enough clinical evidence that it actually works, but that she has seen patients who have particles of charcoal that remain around the gumline.

“It looks worse than without doing anything,” she shared.

One over-the-counter product that Tapia recommended for those who are looking to whiten their teeth on a budget are strips. She explained that they work because they have a higher concentration of product, but that users should use caution when applying them to their teeth.

“It works but cut down the time,” she recommended. Instead of using the strips for the full 30 minutes, she suggested doing it for 10 minutes per day for a longer period of time to lessen sensitivity.

Dentistry By Design offers KöR Whitening Deep Bleach-ing—“the newest, most revolu-tionary and effective teeth whit-ening system ever developed,” according to the website. The sys-tem is reportedly so effective that it is the only system in the world that will whiten tetracycline (dark) stained teeth, previously thought to be impossible.

The process takes about 30 minutes to an hour, using a hydro-gen peroxide gel that reaches deep layers of the tooth enamel.

O B I T U A R I E S

Mary Cox Huntington had 94 years of a vibrant life, lived

graciously with love and joy. She passed away in Santa Barbara where she recently had moved from Pacific Palisades. She was surrounded by family when her death came two days after suffer-ing a stroke.

Mary grew up in New York City, spending her summers visit-ing Syracuse, which she called the “Aunt Farm” because so many of her aunts lived there.

After graduating high school, she moved with her family to Los Angeles, where her father contin-ued as an executive with Fox West Coast Theatres.

Mary’s next four years were a highlight, when she made many lifelong friends at UCLA. A dear Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority sister, Margaret Wells Gayton, in-troduced her to her cousin, Hugh “Mike” Huntington, Jr.

Mary and Mike married just months later. With early stops in Cheviot Hills and Brentwood, by the mid-1960s they made Pacific

Palisades their longtime home. Their marriage lasted 60 years un-til his passing in 2006.

Along with being a loving and busy wife to Mike and mother to their four children, Mary is re-membered as a “second mom” to many.

She had a successful real es-tate career. She was an avid reader and a great cook and hostess. She loved listening to Frank Sinatra. She enjoyed playing bridge with friends at the Bel-Air Bay Club.

Mary was preceded in death by her husband, Mike, and by her parents, Jesse (née Love) and Henry Cox, and her broth-er, James. She is survived by her children, Daniel (Rosalie), Thomas (Shelly Guyer), Kather-ine Frawley (Joseph) and James (Joyce), nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild. She also leaves nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. All loved her and were loved by her.

In lieu of flowers, please con-sider a donation to Kappa Kappa Gamma/Rose McGill Grants.

Mary Cox Huntington James Dent HughesJuly 24, 1924 – September 13, 2018 July 29, 1932 – September 16, 2018

James “Jim” Dent Hughes, a res-ident of Pacific Palisades since

1960, passed away peacefully on September 16.

A native Californian, Jim was born and raised in Santa Moni-ca and lived in various locations within Southern California before settling down in Pacific Palisades. He graduated from UCLA in 1954 with a degree in political sci-ence and married his high school sweetheart, Jeanne Alsobrook, in January 1955. Jim worked for Massachusetts Mutual for many years before opening his own in-surance agency in Santa Monica

in 1979.Jim was an avid reader, wine

enthusiast and enjoyed a round of golf with friends. As an active member of Calvary Church in Pa-cific Palisades, he served as an el-der and was a regular at the men’s weekly breakfast.

Jim is survived by his wife of 63 years, Jeanne Hughes, daugh-ter Julie Hughes of Santa Cruz, California, son Jim Hughes of Los Angeles and grandson Gannon Hughes of Santa Cruz.

A memorial service will be held at Calvary Church in Pacific Palisades on October 6 at 2 p.m.

After a successful nonleague slate in which it defeated

four City Section Division I oppo-nents the Palisades High football team enters Western League play with something to prove, starting Friday night in its “Football Fest” against defending champion Fair-fax at Stadium by the Sea.

The Dolphins (4-1) had a bye last week, giving them extra time to stew over their 14-13 loss at Brentwood in which the Eagles scored two late touchdowns to win the first “Sunset Showdown.”

Now Palisades turns its atten-tion to a Fairfax squad that won nine games and made the quarter-finals of the City’s inaugural Open Division playoffs last fall.

The Lions (3-2) are led by quarterback Scott Harris, who passed for 1,919 yards and 18 touchdowns and ran for 253 yards and seven scores as a junior last year. He has picked up right where he left off and threw for 727 yards in the team’s first four games this season. Harris is complemented by running backs Kendrell Ross and Jordan Reed and wideouts Andrew Cox and Jesse Ramirez.

Fairfax beat Palisades 14-7 in hardfought battle last fall, but that was then and this is now.

“They have a great returning quarterback and excellent offen-sive skill kids,” Pali High Coach Tim Hyde said. “We have a lot to prepare for this week.”

Palisades is seeking its third league title in six seasons under Hyde. In 2015 the Dolphins fin-ished in a three-way tie for first with Westchester and Venice and the following year they shared the title with Venice after beating the host Gondos 14-7 in their regular season finale. Palisades was third

last year behind Fairfax and Ven-ice, which both made the Open Division. Palisades settled for the No. 3 seed in Division I and lost in the quarterfinals to No. 6 Dorsey, the eventual runner-up.

“They have two receivers who are extremely fast, they eas-ily have the best running back and best quarterback we’ve seen,” Hyde said of Fairfax. “Their of-fensive line averages over 280 pounds and they have two huge huge defensive tackles and the

best middle linebacker in the league. A victory would be a huge accomplishment to start league.”

Palisades has had a balanced attack, led by senior quarterback Daniel Hayes (43-of-72 for 583 yards and five touchdowns) and running back Max Palees (74 car-ries for 519 yards and four scores).

A huge part of the Dolphins’ early success has been the stel-lar play of senior receiver/defen-sive backs Jake Nadley and Will Janney. Nadley leads the team in receptions (16) and interceptions (5) while Janney has 13 catches (three for touchdowns) along with four interceptions and three pass deflections.

Junior linebacker Sy Riley has a team-best 44 tackles (nine for losses) and an interception re-turn for a touchdown and kicker Tommy Meek has made all three of his field goal attempts and is 14-of-17 on extra point tries.

“We face a gauntlet these next three weeks—Fairfax, Westches-ter and Venice all in a row,” Hyde said. “These games are going to decide league so we have to keep a tough mental mindset.”

Palisades’ JV squad outscored its league foes 200-7 last year, in-cluding a 45-0 shutout at Fairfax. The Lions handed Palisades its last league loss in 2016, spoiling the Dolphins’ homecoming, 7-3.

Bud Kling Nets 1,200th Victory

When you’ve coached as long as Bud Kling has, you are

bound to reach a few milestones, but on September 13 he ascended into rarified air breathed by only one other high school tennis coach in America.

In Palisades High’s 7-0 vic-tory at Western League rival Uni-versity, Kling notched his 1,200th career victory—leaving him 22 away from tying the national re-cord held by Robin Adair of Coro-nado High near San Diego.

“It’s not really something I’ve thought about a whole lot,” Kling said. “Of course I’m proud of the achievement, but all of the kids who have played for me over the years are the major reason for my success.”

Kling has piloted Pali High’s boys program since 1979 and the girls for all but eight seasons since 1984. Under his watch the Dolphins have captured 44 City championships (26 boys and 18 girls), including 10 straight boys crowns and five straight girls ti-tles.

In a huge meet involving nu-merous City Section schools,

the pressure was on the Palisades High boys and girls cross country teams to perform well at the annu-al Woodbridge Classic at Silver-lakes Sports Park in Norco.

Leading the way for the boys was senior Brent Smith, who was seventh in the varsity boys Blue B (Division 1) race in a time of 15:21.2. Alec Stewart was one spot behind in 15:27.6 and Ma-son Cadden was 12th in 15:33.5. Rounding out the Dolphins’ line-up were Luca Tagliati (15:56.8), Hunter Steinman (16:22.6), Pab-lo Sandoval Rivas (16:49.3) and Brent Bailey (18:03.8). Palisades was fourth overall.

Riviera Hosts Women’s All-American Tennis Championships Next Week

One of the most exciting annual sporting events in Pacific Palisades returns when the best college players in the country meet at Riviera

for the ITA Women’s All-American Tennis Championships. Pre-qual-ifying begins Saturday at Pepperdine University, with Riviera Tennis Club hosting singles and doubles qualifying Monday and Tuesday and main draw matches next Thursday-Sunday.

In addition to vying for the All-American title, players will compete to secure a berth into the 2018 Oracle ITA National Fall Champion-ships, which takes place November 7-11, in Surprise, Arizona. Singles quarterfinalists, consolation singles finalists, doubles semifinalists and consolation doubles finalists advance to the national championships.

Fernanda Contreras of Vanderbilt won the singles title and Duke’s Ellyse Hamlin and Kaitlyn McCarthy won the doubles crown last year. Former singles champions include Danielle Collins (2015, Virginia); Jamie Loeb (2013, North Carolina); Irina Falconi (2009, Georgia Tech); Raquel Kops-Jones (2003, California) and Jill Craybas (1995, Florida).

Riviera hosted the event for the first time in 1988 when Tami Whit-linger beat Stanford teammate Sarah Birch in the singles final. Admis-sion is free and one of the unique traditions of the tournament is that local residents and Riviera members house many of the players during their stay in Southern California.

Pali High Volleyball Extends StreakThe last time the Palisades High

girls volleyball team lost a Western League match was to Ven-ice eight years ago. Since then, the Dolphins have reeled off 93 straight league victories entering today’s match at Hamilton.

On Monday, the host Dol-phins made sure their streak did not end at the hands of their archrivals, sweeping Venice, 25-11, 25-19, 25-14. Palisades’ last league loss was Oct. 20, 2010 when they were swept at Venice. Earlier that season, on Sept. 27, the Gondoliers handed Palisades its last home loss in league in five sets. That was under former coach Chris Forrest.

Palisades has yet to drop a league match in six seasons un-der Coach Carlos Gray and their streak is the longest active league

winning streak in the City Section. Entering today’s match against Sotomayor, Eagle Rock has won 77 consecutive Northern League matches while Carson entered Tuesday’s match versus Narbonne having reeled off 56 straight Ma-rine League victories.

Still awaiting the return of in-jured City Player of the Year Alex Laita, the Dolphins head to their third tournament of the year this weekend at Crescenta Valley.

The tournament features sev-eral other City teams, including Cleveland, Eagle Rock, Kennedy and Chatsworth. Palisades takes on La Canada, South Hills and Hoover in pool play Friday.

The Dolphins placed second to Westlake at the Chatsworth In-vitational and reached the semifi-nals of the Venice Invitational.

Through its first five matches of Western League play, the Palisades High girls tennis team has been as dom-

inant as ever, winning 34 of 35 sets. The Dolphins have blanked Hamilton, University,

Fairfax and Westchester and beat LACES 6-1. They wrap up the first round of league Monday against Venice.

In between its league matches Palisades has been testing itself against top-notch Southern Section teams. Bolstered by the strong play of twins Ireland and Sophia Amato the Dolphins beat Westlake 5-2 last week.

Playing without the Amatos (who were on a college visit back east) and No. 3 player Iris Berman (who was injured), the Dolphins lost 6-0 to Palos Verdes on Mon-day. Noe Winter fell 8-3 at No. 1 singles, Halsey Hulse lost 8-4 at No. 2 and Sophia Arvin lost 8-4 at the No. 3 spot. Captain Alex Miller and Emma Akiyama fell 8-2 at No. 1 doubles, Kalea Martin and Sarah Slavkin lost in a tiebreaker at No. 2 and Bliss Macdowell and Claudia Goore lost 8-1 at No. 3. Palisades beat Marymount on Tuesday, hosted Windward on Wednesday and travels to San Diego for the Point Loma Invitational on Saturday.

All season long, Palisadian Scott Heineman played with

determination and anticipation, waiting for a call that never came. Such is life in minor league base-ball and after a stellar campaign with Round Rock Express, the Texas Rangers’ Triple-A affiliate, he will certainly be on the radar as one of the MLB organization’s top prospects heading into 2019.

Despite a season worthy of a September call-up, Heineman can hold his head high after batting .295 with a .355 on-base percent-age and .429 slugging percentage, including 11 home runs, 67 RBI, 20 doubles and 16 stolen bases in 107 games since his promotion in April after starting the season with the AA Frisco RoughRiders.

The 25-year-old outfielder ranked 21st in the Pacific Coast League in batting average—just behind the San Diego Padres’ No. 4 prospect Luis Urias. Rangers utility infielder Hanser Alberto ranked fourth in the PCL with a .330 batting average in 101 games. Heineman also ranked 36th in the PCL in slugging percentage.

Heineman turned some heads by stealing the show at the AAA All-Star Game in July in Colum-bus, Ohio. He stole a record four bases, including home, to help the Pacific Coast All-Stars beat the International League, 12-7.

After walking to lead off the fifth inning, Heineman stole sec-ond base, then third, then home on a double steal. He entered the All-Star break on a 10-game hit-ting streak during which he batted .488, with two doubles, a triple, three home runs, 10 RBIs and 10 runs scored.

Heineman played at Crespi

Carmelite High School in Encino, then four years at the University of Oregon. He was picked in the 11th round of the 2015 June Draft and played for the Brewster White-caps in the Cape Cod League in 2013, showing his adaptability by playing all nine defensive posi-tions in his final summer game.

Growing up across the street from Palisades High, Scott and his older brother Tyler (who went on to play at UCLA and is now a catcher in the Milwaukee Brewers organization), learned the tools of their trade. Scott persevered de-spite undergoing four surgeries in his four years at Oregon.

Locals Lead Brentwood Football to 5-0 Start

The Brentwood School varsity football team improved to 5-0 last Fri-day after a 42-9 victory over Maranatha in Pasadena. The Eagles are

off to their best start in five seasons under Coach Jake Ford, with earlier victories over Fillmore, Hueneme, Pasadena Poly and Palisades.

Four Palisadians have contributed to the team’s success. Jack Tobey is the Eagles’ leader in rushing with 234 yards and one touchdown in 43 carries and he also leads the squad with 67 tackles (54 solo, 13 assisted).

Jack Dyett is second on the team in receiving with 16 catches for 216 yards and one touchdown. He also has 26 tackles and four sacks. Johnny Bond has 31 tackles and one interception and backup quarter-back Parker Barnes has completed five of eight passes for 52 yards.

Brentwood hosts Playa del Rey St. Bernard (4-1) on Friday night.

relaxed in their new marketplace. Staff Photographer Rich Schmitt was there to capture it all—from Thursday’s black tie gala, to

Friday’s preview to Saturday’s ribbon cutting. Here is a selection of photos from Friday and Saturday’s festivities.

Hosted by “Saturday Night Live” comedians Michael

Che and Colin Jost, the 2018 Emmy Awards were presented at the Microsoft Theater on Mon-day, Sept. 17.

Proud Palisadian nominees included Larry David for “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” Laura Dern for “The Tale,” Ted Danson for “The Good Place,” Bill Hader for “Barry” and “SNL,” and Dan Castellaneta for loyally voicing every memorable character in “The Simpsons.”

Emerging triumphant, Had-er won Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for “Bar-ry,” the HBO show he created with Alec Berg. This is his first Emmy for acting.

“I did not think this would happen,” Hader announced in his acceptance speech. “I took classes at Second City LA. I was taught there that you should al-ways make the other people look good, so I hired other great ac-tors who made me look good.”

Henry Winkler was among those “other” actors in “Bar-ry”—he won Outstanding Sup-porting Actor.

While Palisadian J.J. Abrams was not personally recognized this year, his show, “Westworld,” was nominated in numerous technical and de-sign categories as well as act-ing. Thandie Newton, who has played an enigmatic brothel madam in the series for two sea-

sons, won Outstanding Support-ing Actress in a Drama Series.

She was one of a small handful of Black actors to be recognized—the Emmy Awards received criticism this year for their luke warm effort to repre-sent a wide range of performers. Most of the TV shows that col-lected awards feature predomi-nantly (and entirely) caucasian casts, such as Best Drama win-ner “Game of Thrones” and Best Comedy winner “The Marvel-ous Mrs. Maisel.”

Sandra Oh became the first Asian woman to be nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, however overall

Asian representation was insig-nificant.

Unsurprisingly, the Emmy Awards also highlighted the fact that complex LGBTQ+ stories have not yet gained their rightful place among mainstream tele-vision offerings. These details may have contributed to the low viewership. Or perhaps every-one just prefers Netflix now.

With unwavering enthusi-asm for the achievements that have taken place and those chal-lenging milestones still to come, the Palisadian-Post congratu-lates every nominee and extends a special shout out to deserving winner Bill Hader.

After witnessing her son Da-vid’s rejection from school

sleep away camps on the basis of being mentally handicapped, Palisadian Pepper Edmiston launched Happy Trails For Kids: a Santa Monica-based nonprofit organization that provides chil-dren like David with adventur-ous and educational experiences to enrich their lives.

That was in 1982. David has since passed away, though he continues to inspire his fam-ily members and friends to live meaningful lives.

Under the direction of Da-vid’s sister, attorney Susan Abrams, Happy Trails now fo-cuses on serving youth—those with and without disabilities—in foster care. Her five broth-ers contribute to the camps and events in various capacities, in-cluding graphic design, musical performance and counseling.

On Saturday, Sept. 8, Happy Trails participated in the annual Cantor Fitzgerald Charity Day to honor victims of 9/11.

“We are honored to be se-lected to participate in this year’s Charity Day,” Executive Direc-tor Lindsay Elliot said in a press release. “It is a deeply moving tribute to the victim of 9/11, and we are proud to be recognized for the work Happy Trails does to support one of the most vulner-able populations, foster youth.”

Australian actress Rose By-rne, who plays a foster mother in the upcoming film, “Instant Family,” attended the event in the role of ambassador. Palisa-dian Goldie Hawn was also in

attendance.“It’s great to have celebri-

ties bring attention to [essential] causes,” Abrams said during a phone call with the Palisadi-

an-Post. She went on to express that Happy Trails has grown considerably in recent years and it has been fortunate enough to expand its team.

The ninth annual Pacif-ic Palisades Hike-A-Thon will take place on Nov. 4 in Temes-cal Gateway Park, where fam-ilies are invited to enjoy a day of outdoor festivities in support of Happy Trails and the positive work it does for children in need.

With a background in film and design, Ellie Smith has

gathered all of her talents into a holistic program that helps wom-en, including Palisadians, change their relationship with style, spending and space.

Through a business she calls The Ladysmith, Smith works to transform the way that women see themselves. Smith’s services are meant to have a long-lasting effect on her customers, giving them the skills to ultimately be self-suffi-cient within the realm of their in-dividual fashion.

Smith began with an inter-est in film, leading her to attend USC Film School in Downtown Los Angeles. There, she gained a better understanding of costume design, which she used to dress actors in many short films.

Around this time, Smith was inspired to create her own busi-ness. She started by selling vin-tage clothing, which ultimately led to the evolution of The Lady-smith.

“It was an evolution––under-standing what my gifts were, what my talents were and how I could use them to benefit other people and not just myself,” Smith told the Palisadian-Post.

To begin the process of re-forming one’s relationship with their style, Smith engages in a 90-minute session, which she calls a personal design consultation. Smith and her client go through a four-part agenda, which The La-dysmith crafts carefully and pre-cisely, including finding out a cli-ent’s likes and dislikes, inquiring

about favorite colors, and getting to know overall taste.

To top it off, Smith has her clients take a look in the mirror to better understand their facial complexities, color composition, bodily curves and more.

After taking a look through her client’s wardrobe, Smith then takes them through shopping sup-port. In this part of her services, Smith helps women be “healthy” shoppers—picking out pieces that not only look good, but suit their character.

Throughout the process, Smith sees herself as a woman’s “cheerleader,” and explained that she is always advocating for what is in her client’s best interest.

Eventually, after sifting through the wardrobe of the wom-an she is working with, Smith “chips away” at what her client does not wear, while also altering other pieces to make them more wearable or fitting for that per-son’s needs.

“[It] gives you a defensible

wardrobe,” she explained. “Every time you put something on, you know you have it for a reason. You chose it for a reason, you kept it for a reason––it shows you’re thinking of these reasons and it gives you a level of confidence when you’re choosing them. So when you walk out of the house, you know you like them.”

With a new version of an old wardrobe set into place, Smith then works to resell her client’s clothing, help them through sys-tematic organization and bud-geting. Smith is partnered with “Rebag” for support in reselling client’s handbags and fine jewelry.

The Fashion Finesse of The Ladysmith

Hard at work

Ever since I was a baby, I’ve been insatiably curious about

everything. I was interested in every little thing going on around me, and once I learned to talk, my parents had to constantly deal with my onslaught of questions.

Looking back at pictures of me as a toddler, you can see that I was almost always engaged in a conversation or even trying to read a newspaper.

Now, as a freshman at Pali High, I am still on my mission to learn as much as I possibly can.

I play clarinet, so at Pali I participate in the Symphony Or-chestra, Wind Ensemble and I’m playing in this semester’s musi-cal, “Sister Act.” In addition to that, I’m a lawyer in the Mock Trial program and a delegate in

the Palisades YMCA branch of Youth and Government. Loading on the extracurriculars during freshman year is just part of my

grand plan to learn all about my new school.

While reading the Palisadi-an-Post on a Thursday night—as any true Palisadian would—I came across an ad for an in-ternship at the Post. I thought, “What better way to learn more about my town and get more ex-perience in the world of journal-ism?”

At Paul Revere, where I went to middle school, I worked on the award-winning newspa-per, which allowed me to learn all of the school’s ins and outs. Revere became my home away from home.

My true home has always been the Palisades. My mom grew up here, my grandparents still live in the same house they bought here in 1960—but I still feel like there’s more to learn about my town.

I’m excited to work with the staff at the Post and make the Palisades my own.

The Post Welcomes Two Fall Interns

Hello Palisades! My name’s Cody Baird and I’m excited

to assist the Palisadian-Post in covering the community. I can’t wait to fully immerse myself in the world of the Palisades with its vibrant communal life and geo-graphical beauty.

A little about me? Well, I’m just your typical recent college graduate. Aside from the Post, I’m piecing together work in human resources, nannying, tutoring and an assortment of odd jobs.

I enjoy reading, watch-ing movies and television, and working my way—alas, all too

slowly—through the various musical eras available at my fin-gertips. (May I recommend pair-ing Charles Bradley with Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings for a de-lightful Daptone Records listening session?)

Some highlights from the summer were reading Leonard Michaels and seeing a pair of films in theater: a retrospective of Bob Fosse’s “All That Jazz,” present-ed by UCLA’s Film & Television Archive at the Hammer Museum, and Edward Yang’s “Yi Yi” at LACMA.

You may see me running on the weekends through Will Rog-ers or along Sunset. If so, please say hello. While I promise I won’t grunt back a hello, I can’t promise I won’t say “morning” when it’s technically the afternoon.

Growing up in Pacific Pali-sades, Tyler Newman en-

joyed making videos with his friends. While a student at Pali-

sades Charter High School, he and his brother would make videos for prospective college athletes.

While his brother moved to Connecticut and became a coast-guard, Tyler went on to be a pub-lic relations and advertising major

at Chapman University’s Dodge College, minoring in entrepre-neurship. He graduated in May.

At 22 years old, Tyler runs a production company—completely by himself—called Pali Pictures. Recent projects include event re-cap videos for Silverlakes Sports Complex and student recruitment videos for Corpus Christi School.

Many of his projects incor-porate the use of drones, which Newman operates with a commer-cial license.

In August, Newman won a Los Angeles area Emmy Award for co-producing the documen-tary, “Making Music, Making Friends.” Available for viewing on YouTube, the 30-minute show documents the musical pursuits of elementary school kids.

This particular project was a family affair, as Newman’s fa-ther Larry executive produced the documentary as Director of Chil-dren’s Music Workshop.

“He’s built such a good busi-ness,” Newman said, clearly in-spired by his father’s work.

As for the future, Newman looks forward to pursuing large-scale projects where he can be involved in every step of the cre-ative process.

“The Palisades has given me so many opportunities to work with great people,” he said, before quickly adding that he’s moving to an apartment in Brentwood.

That’s acceptable, as long as he doesn’t forget his humble be-ginnings.

Can you recall the last time you used a public drinking

fountain? A generation ago, water fountains could be found in every park, school and shopping com-plex, however, as more Ameri-cans reach for the Evian, finding a functional fountain can be almost as challenging as locating a work-ing pay phone.

Luckily, Palisadian water warrior Evelyn Wendel, along with Palisadian environmentalist and LA Deputy District Attorney Lisa Kaas Boyle, has developed a mobile app to help you wet your whistle while cutting down your plastic footprint.

The WeTap app, which is an extension of Wendel’s not-for-profit tap water advocacy orga-nization of the same name, is an interactive, open-source map that allows users to find the nearest working drinking fountain.

Founded in 2008, WeTap works with the city of Los Angeles to revitalize its drinking fountain program through education and the installation of public fountains in LA schools and in underserved communities.

In an interview with the Pal-isadian-Post, Wendel explained that WeTap’s objective is to change the public’s perception on tap water and, as a result, reduce dependence on store-bought, sin-gle-use plastics.

And for good reason too: Last year, Americans consumed about 50 billion plastic water bottles of which only a paltry 23 percent made it back into a recycle bin.

Concern over the safety of tap water has come back into the forefront of national dialogue in recent years after toxic levels of lead were discovered in the wa-ters of Flint, Michigan, and nearly 3,000 other areas throughout the United States.

Fortunately, according to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, LA tap water is, as of 2017, considered “as clean as bot-tled water,” thanks to the agency investing in new infrastructure, including a second ultraviolet disinfection plant currently under construction in Granada Hills.

“Los Angeles has some of the best tap water in the country, yet so many people are completely unaware that it is perfectly safe to drink,” Wendel told the Post. “By renormalizing the use of drinking fountains we believe that we can regain the people’s trust in our city’s clean water.”

The former film producer and mother of two Palisades Charter High School graduates also argues that drinking fountains play an important civic role and, that by asking the city to maintain public fountains we, in turn, request that they maintain municipal water as well.

“Paying attention to our drink-ing fountains serves as an oppor-

tunity to remind water agencies—and the city—that public access to clean tap water should always remain a priority,” she added.

And the hard work is pay-ing off: In 2015, the Los Angeles Unified School District allocated nearly $20 million to eliminate all lead from drinking water at LA Unified schools and, in most city schools—including Pali High—filtered hydration stations have been installed for students to fill up their reusables in-between classes.

Over the next few years, WeTap will continue working with LADWP to install dozens of public hydration stations around the city for the upcoming LA 2028 Summer Olympic Games—until then, don’t be afraid to reach for the tap.

“We’re hoping [LA] be-comes the national standard for drinking fountains,” Wendel said. “We want to make tap water sexy again.”

Reverse Triangle Pose

This month’s yoga posture is Reverse Triangle Pose (Viparita Trikonasana), which I taught to Dr. Philip Kamins, DDS and his daughter, Alana. Kamins has been my family’s dentist in the Pali-sades for over 26 years and works at Pacific Palisades Dentistry. It was so fun teaching this yoga side-bend stretch to him and his lovely daughter.

Benefits of Reverse Triangle Pose: · Opens the chest for better

breathing.· Improves the core and

abdominal muscles.· Improves the flexibility of the

entire spine.· Improves balance with focus,

energizing the mind and body.

Modifications:· Those with a neck, hip or shoul-der injury should practice this pose with extra care.· If you have any medical condi-

tions, talk to your doctor before practicing this or other yoga poses.

Instructions:1. From a standing position,

bring your feet wide part.2. Next, turn your right foot out-

ward to 90 degrees, and bring your left foot inward to 45 degrees.

3. Bring both arms out parallel to the side of your body.

4. Inhale as you raise your right arm above your shoulders and head, and take it backward without bending your elbows. Exhale as you bring your left hand down toward your left knee.

5. Stay in this side stretch for at least five breaths before switching sides.
