Just five-and-a-half months after its grand opening, Vintage Grocers employees are

under the impression that the store will be taken over by Erewhon Market.

On Tuesday afternoon, a statement from Erewhon and Vintage Grocers regarding the takeover was reportedly being finalized.

Rumors of a takeover began circulating in the store last week, according to multiple em-ployees who were unsure what was to come of their future.

A meeting for employees on the subject was expected to take place on Wednesday where some expect to be told if their employ-ment will be transferred over, or if they will be terminated completely.

Erewhon currently operates four locations across Southern California: Santa Monica, Calabasas, Venice and Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles.

“We strive to sell only the purest, ethically and sustainably produced foods, wellness and beauty products, and household items,” the Erewhon website states.

“Our mission is to make healthy, pure, nutrient-rich foods and products available to all and to inspire people to eat better, eat less and live longer.”

Founded in 1968, Erewhon was purchased by Tony and Josephine Antoci in 2011. Ac-cording to the website, the stores offer brands and items that are free of artificial preserva-tives, synthetic pesticides, ripening agents, growth hormones and other additives.

The Erewhon website lists store depart-ments, including a Tonic and Juice Bar, Su-perfoods, Wellness and Beauty, Kosher, Mac-robiotics and Café.

“You can enjoy breakfast, lunch and din-ner at one of our café tables or take it home for a truly special meal,” the website says.

If confirmed, this would be the first Ere-whon Market to open in a Caruso develop-ment.

Vintage Grocers, owned by Walmart heir-ess Paige Laurie, was one of the first tenants confirmed to open in Palisades Village, secur-ing a 12,000-square-foot space facing Sunset

Boulevard.The Palisades iteration marked the third

Vintage Grocers location, following Malibu in 2014 and Westlake Village in 2016 at Caruso’s The Promenade at Westlake.

As the Post went to print Tuesday night, it was unclear if the alleged takeover would affect the other Vintage locations.

Representatives from Caruso did not re-spond to requests for comment, and Erewhon neither confirmed nor denied the takeover at press time.

Set to a backdrop of fog-covered mountains, The Highlands

Farmers Market officially opened to the public on Sunday, March 3.

The new produce option for residents at the top of Palisades Drive makes the second farmers market operated by Raw Inspira-tion in Pacific Palisades, joining the market at Palisades Charter High School.

Close to 20 vendors set up shop at the Casa Nostra parking lot, selling everything from fresh avocados to homemade bread and fresh coffee from vendors like Ace Farms, Topanga Grain Company, Vision Sprouts and Me Gusta Mexican Food Specialties.

Vallee Westland, who was raised in the Palisades, stood at the new market selling fresh eggs from Kaliko Farms. The farm, which has been recovering from the Woolsey fire, houses free-range chickens to produce top-quality eggs specifically for local farmers markets.

“These eggs are only three or

four days old, so they’re collected from the hens, hand washed and packaged to come to the farmers markets,” Westland explained.

On a larger scale, businesses like the Dry Dock Fish Co. was selling “fresh never frozen” fish. The family-owned operation can be found at close to 30 different farmers markets each week, and will now be a regular at The High-lands market.

“We get a lot of local options when it’s in season, but when it’s not, we’ll get halibut from Alaska or New Zealand or wherever it’s best in season,” said Tori Bieder-mann, who showed off her inven-

tory of live spot prawns and su-shi-grade fish.

“Rain or shine, we’re at the market.”

Significantly smaller than the beloved 80-vendor Pali High market, the new location has been deemed a “very small, boutique market” and will be open every Sunday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 1515 Palisades Drive.

The market currently oper-ating at Pali High continues to search for a location big enough to house its return to The Village area of the Palisades, with Swarth-more Avenue deemed no longer an option.

After 15 years of serving Palisa-dians Italian dishes, Giuseppe

“Pino” Barravecchia is closing Pi-nocchio in Cucina.

“I put my soul into this place,” Barravecchia told the Palisadi-an-Post on Monday, March 4. “I have to say, the reason I was able to last and make it [is because] there is a soul in that place.”

Hailing from the Sicilian town of Piazza Armerina, Barravecchia shared that he learned his work eth-ic from his parents, waking up as early as 4 or 5 in the morning to put 15 hours in at the restaurant.

“That’s how they ran their busi-ness,” he said, “seven days a week.” When Pinocchio’s first

opened, Barravecchia had part-ners, but for the past several years, it has been just him, includ-ing through a remodel.

Since revealing that he would be leaving the Palisades, Barra-vecchia said the response from customers has been unbelievable, adding that he has watched some customers literally grow up—from when they used to come in with their parents to bringing a significant other in for date night.

“I’ve been feeling love,” Bar-ravecchia said. “People come in and cry—you don’t see that any-where else.”

Barravecchia shared that the cost of operating Pinocchio’s and the competition have gotten high-er and higher over the past few years. But he understands that people need new things.

“When you have 28,000 peo-ple and 15 restaurants, [and then] the same amount of people and new places, it doesn’t take much to figure out, some of the business will go to other businesses,” Bar-ravecchia explained.

He had the option to renew the lease, but decided that it was time to move on.

“[I had to] figure out the less

painful thing for me to do … don’t renew my lease, finish my term,” Barravecchia said. “Let’s see what life brings me after, what is next.”

Those who want to say fare-well to Barravecchia will have an opportunity between now and mid-March, when the store is ex-pected to shutter for two to three weeks before reopening with a new name under the ownership of Palisadian Gianbattista Vinzoni.

“I’m not leaving rich,” Barra-vecchia shared, “I’m leaving full of love … thank you so much, everybody, for the support that Pinocchio’s has been receiving.”

Barravecchia added that he is looking for his next opportunity, and anyone interested in contact-ing him for work or to say good-bye may do so at 323-369-2116 or [email protected].

Highlands Farmers Market Officially Opens

Chautauqua Repaving Slated for April

New City Official Promises to Work With PPCC


The repaving of Chautauqua was addressed yet again by

the Pacific Palisades Communi-ty Council on Thursday, Febru-ary 28, when Adel Hagekhalil, the executive director and gen-eral manager of the Bureau of Street Services, gave an update on city initiatives for road im-provements.

“My commitment to the may-or and to you all is that we want to transform our streets to world-class streets,” said Hagekhalil, who mentioned that Coun-cilmember Mike Bonin reached out to him directly to “take care of Chautauqua.”

The executive director men-tioned his team’s focus on spend-ing money on street rehabilitation instead of injury claim payouts, which amounted to about $55 million in the last year.

Hagekhalil also brought along his team of city employ-ees from different departments who oversee projects related to infrastructure to introduce them-selves to PPCC and answer any questions, and in some cases, complaints.

“I would like to see the util-ity companies get fined for ru-ining our streets,” said Area 8

Representative Reza Akef, who claimed those companies were not held to the same standards as everyone else and hiring sub-contractors that improperly fill potholes.

Hagekhalil also touched on efforts to incorporate a new ma-terial to replace asphalt in the future that is “10 times stronger than asphalt, cheaper, and more environmentally safe.”

On the topic of street furni-ture, Treasurer Richard Cohen drew a firm line in the sand and reminded the new official of the Palisades’ fight—and victory—in the past to keep city-issued street furniture out of the Palisades.

“We do not want commercial signs, we don’t want movie post-ers that are illuminated on public right of way in the center of our beautiful little community,” Co-hen said.

“We urge you, all of you who might be involved in this, to check back with us before you go ahead and start to make plans on any of this because otherwise we’re going to be fighting,” he said, assuring them that the Pali-sades community would be hap-py to work with the city.

In response to Chautauqua’s planned repaving from Sun-set to PCH on April 27 and 28, Hagekhalil said, “I’ll get it done.”

We are responding to the re-cent 2 Cents commentaries about jet noise over the Palisades.

First, some background: The Santa Monica Canyon Civic Asso-ciation has been fighting the FAA for three years over this issue.

We first noticed an increase in jet noise in 2016. The noise was coming from flights arriving at LAX. We contacted the FAA, who denied that there had been any change in flight patterns.

It soon came out that the FAA was introducing a new arrival and departure regime called LA Metro-plex. LA Metroplex would change flight paths at every major airport in SoCal as part of an effort to up-date the airplane navigation system nationwide.

An Environmental Assessment (EA) process had been completed with local stakeholders. Why hadn’t the Palisades been included? The FAA said they determined there would be “no significant impacts” for us, so they were not required to

include us.They also insisted the Palisades

area would actually experience a de-crease in noise levels. As we now know, this was not true.

SMCCA filed a lawsuit chal-lenging the EA, as did other local neighborhoods. The suits were com-bined and transferred to a Washing-ton, D.C., court, and the case was heard in 2018.

Unfortunately, we lost, with the judge ruling that the FAA had complied with the minimum EA requirements.

Fast forward to today: Loud overflights are now routine, a harbin-ger of things to come as the Metro-plex allows the FAA to increase the number of flights at LAX, creating “a superhighway in the sky” (quot-ing from the EA) over our neigh-borhood.

The good news is our elected officials—from the local to federal levels—agree there is a problem. It is a national issue with the FAA involved in litigation in each of the

20 metropolitan areas where Metro-plex has been introduced. Senators and congress members are paying attention.

You can help. Below is a list of your representatives that are working on the issue. Contact them now and tell them that concentrating flights over our neighborhood is unaccept-able.

There are alternatives the FAA needs to explore. Please note LAX is owned by the city of Los Angeles. For more information, contact Deb-bie Warfel at [email protected].

BookstoreThe Amazon bookstore is the most cluttered, uninviting “bookstore” that I have ever seen. Just look-ing in the front window makes me want to walk away. I have photos of some cozy ones if they would like ideas.

norrisI’m going to be so upset if a real estate office moves into the Nor-ris space. I want something use-ful! No more real estate or coffee shops please.

Flight iLast week’s writer should know that a dedicated Santa Monica Canyon resident, Debbie Warfel, has worked since October 2015 to fight the noise. She organized a campaign to contact elected of-ficials and the FAA and attend air-port meetings. Contact the Santa Monica Canyon Civic Association for information on their lawsuit etc. I agree, we in the Palisades did not choose to live next to the airport. The noise IS hideous, but community efforts have been un-derway for years.(Editor’s note: See this week’s let-ter to the editor from Debbie for more information.)

Flight iiMany people are noticing the ex-tremely loud noise from the fre-quent and low flying aircraft. Go to SMCCA.org website, scroll down and click on the tab entitled “Help End Aircraft Noise Over Our Can-yon.” This article contains all the links and information you need to let the elected officials and LAX’s noise management team that the noise is significantly impacting our neighborhood.

Flight iiiOh wow—I thought I was go-ing crazy! So all that increased jet noise is really happening. My husband barely hears it, but it is driving me batty, and I hear it in Malibu and Rustic Canyon too. It’s awful!

Flight iVI am 100% with “Flight Corridor.” I have found myself browsing real estate listings for nearby neigh-borhoods not affected by the new nonstop airline noise. And I know of at least one other neighbor who contemplating a similar move. Can’t believe this happened to the westside.

Thank you to Mike Tomas, the tennis contractor in the Pali-sades Park, for bringing “Super Saturday”—Tennis in the Park on March 2.

Mike brought in a terrific pro-gram of professional players, an outstanding emcee, the father and

coach of the champion Bryan broth-ers, great discussions with the pros, and awards to participating kids.

Mike prepared for the rain by protecting two courts with huge tents; enough to allow the kids to hit with the pros and for specta-tors to watch, but unfortunately not

enough for the planned professional exhibition matches.

Hopefully there will sunshine for the next Tennis in the Park. It is great for the community and great for tennis.

Thank you again.George Wolkon

Hundreds of students, parents and teachers gathered on the

blacktop of Palisades Charter Ele-mentary School Monday morning to celebrate Read Across America Day—an annual event where stu-dents reflect on the importance of reading and read some of their fa-vorite books.

This year’s Read Across Amer-ica campaign celebrates our nation of diverse readers, with books from authors around the world.

Pali Elementary Principal Gary Saunders, sporting a red-and-white top hat à lá “Cat in the Hat,” took the stage to address the crowd.

“Good morning, boys and girls,” Saunders said. “Happy Read Across America Day celebra-tion. We’re here today to remind ourselves how important reading is. Reading is so important—I couldn’t get where I am without reading. I learned all the major truths I need to know about this world through reading.”

Saunders introduced several guest speakers who explained what reading meant to them, beginning with LAUSD Board Member Nick Melvoin.

“Good morning everyone—it’s very nice to be back at Pali Ele-mentary. I always get out-hatted by Principal Saunders,” Melvoin joked. “I am so excited to be here today.”

Melvoin asked the students to

raise their hands if they liked to read. Many hands shot up. When he asked if there were any stu-dents who didn’t like to read, a few raised their hands.

“I knew there’d be a few hands that didn’t like to read,” Melvoin said. “That’s OK. We want to be honest … if you don’t like reading, you just haven’t found the right book.”

Captain Erik Schneider, En-gineer Steve Shelp and firefighter Kristine Priebe from Los Ange-les Fire Department Station 69 stopped by and shared the impact reading has had on their lives.

“I want to share with you guys—I actually have dyslexia and ADHD,” Priebe explained to the audience. “I used to go all around the country and we used to mentor kids just like you who

had a hard time reading—and I have a hard time reading.”

The Palisades Charter High School Marching Band, led by Alex Dale, played Bruce Chan-nel’s “I Wanna Know if You’ll Be My Girl.”

Pali Elementary librarian Jane Jaffe took the stage next.

“There’s a German author named Heinrich Mann who said, ‘A house without books is like a room without a window,’” Jaffe said. “Books feed our imagina-tion and, as I’ve told you a mil-lion times, you’re only limited by your imagination. So let’s grab a book.”

The Pali High Dance Team performed with choreography set to a hip-hop song. The marching band followed up with a spirit-ed rendition of the school rouser

accompanied with impressive moves from the dance team.

After the performance, stu-dents filed out by grade to dif-ferent classrooms where guest speakers read to them and dis-cussed with them the joys that reading offers.

In the computer lab, Melvoin read students “Green Eggs and Ham” by Dr. Seuss.

“Why do you think the oth-er guy doesn’t like green eggs?” Melvoin asked the students. Hands shot up.

“Because they’re past the ex-piration date!” was one answer.

“That could definitely be—you always want to check the date,” Melvoin replied.

Pali elementary Celebrates read Across America day


Local families filled the com-munity room at Palisades Vil-

lage for the Wendy Walk Carnival, a fundraiser for sarcoma research in honor of Palisadian Wendy Landes who passed away in 2013 after a battle with liposarcoma.

Children of all ages were elat-ed to find various games like ring toss and a bean bag toss, snacks including candy and popcorn, a face painting booth, and costumes to bring some light to what was shaping up to be a rainy Sunday.

Ali Landes, daughter of Wen-dy and executive director of Wen-dy Walk, was behind the organi-zation’s 10-year celebration and was responsible for bringing the community together for a good cause.

“We wanted to do something different and do something to celebrate where we started and

where we came from, and since we are a Palisades family, this seemed really appropriate,” said Ali, who was 22 when her mother was diagnosed with sarcoma can-cer, a disease that attacks bones, and connective tissues such as fat

and muscle. “Over the years, the Palisades

has been super supportive ... I feel like this is a culmination of 10 years of support behind my mom and my family and sarcoma can-cer,” she said.

Wendy Walk has been busy fundraising for treatments and research of the rare disease, and is now looking to partner with “like-minded organizations” to get matching grants to make their dollar go further, according to Ali.

“We’re looking for innovative doctors, and we want to be a place to support more patients and more families as much as possible.”

The director was thankful to the community for “showing up and supporting our family and supporting this cause and caring about a rare disease because it needs funding and it’s also a very prevalent pediatric cancer, which people don’t know about, so it’s good to know about it and to get involved because kids do get sar-coma.”

For more information about the next Los Angeles Wen-dy Walk, scheduled for June 9 at Hotel Casa del Mar, visit wendywalk.org.

I want to take my two boys, 4 and 6, on a trip out of the country—we’re thinking maybe

France, Italy or Greece. Do you think this is a good age or will they not appreciate it?

Seeing the world can be an incomparable educational experi-ence. It provides a brand of learn-ing like no other, one that is all encompassing.

Without question, however, there are certain ages that lend themselves to travel and others that do not. And there are also different kinds of trips that work better for certain age children.

Traveling from city to city—in and out of airports and hotels—is one kind of trip. Settling into one destination and having a home base as you explore your destination is a whole different kind.

Before I answer your question, I need to ask you why you feel the need to take your boys out of the country. Do they need to see the world at their young ages or do you have a hankering to go to France, Italy or Greece?

Vacations have really changed since I raised my kids. These days it seems that taking one’s children of all ages to exotic, foreign or fan-cy places is what you do.

In fact, the family vacation has evolved from a weekend in Vaca-tion Village in San Diego (!) to two

weeks in the British Virgin Islands. A day of skiing at Big Bear has morphed into a week in the Swiss Alps.

Here is what I hear from par-ents: “I don’t get to see my children that much. So I take them on va-cations where we can be together. And I want to go where I want to go.”

And here is my reply: “Do you know the difference between a va-cation and a trip? You take children on a trip. Adults go on a vacation!”

Truth be told, young children do best when they are at home, in their familiar and predictable en-vironment, where they will sleep and eat best. It’s parents who need vacations, who need to get away from the grind.

Adults adapt more easily than most kids. Do children need trips to foreign lands? I don’t think so. But I digress.

In deciding if you should take your 4- and 6-year-old on a trip to Europe, you need to consider not only their ages but also their de-velopment, maturity and individ-ual temperaments. Much of what makes a trip to France special (all the amazing sites to be seen) would be lost on a 4-year-old, for exam-ple.

However, if you are planning on renting a chateau, some place he can dig in and call home for a month, eat croissants daily, go on one adventure a day, that’s a dif-

ferent story. Some children are more adapt-

able than others. Some require more regularity than others; some have short attention spans; some need always to be on the move.

In planning your trip, you would need to hone your expecta-tions of each child, keeping their needs in mind. Otherwise, it will be torture for you.

Of course it can be done. There are those parents who carefully orchestrate their trips considering what the children can endure, re-searching the best way to visit the Musee d’ OrSay, planning a speed tour of the Louvre and lots of play time in between. Is that you?

Would your children appreci-ate the experience? If you mean will they know how fortunate they are to have parents who have taken them to France, then, probably not. Not now anyway.

But when they are much older and are looking back on all that you did with them and for them, or when they have kids of their own, then they just might.

If by appreciate you mean will they grasp and value the ex-perience, then I am sorry to say, probably not.

I have the feeling that you and your husband are overdue for a trip to Europe. Are your 4- and 6-year-old children old enough for you to go and leave them with family or a sitter? Absolutely! Bon voyage.

Robert W “Bob” Joyce passed away peacefully at home in Pacific Palisades on Monday, December 31, at the age of 93.

Born in Boston, Massachusetts, on June 16, 1925, he served in the United States Navy in World War II as a signalman on a destroyer escort seeing action in the Atlantic, Mediterranean and Pacific theaters of operation.

After being discharged from Navy in 1946, he attended the Uni-versity of Massachusetts, Amherst earning a BA in history. While at-tending college, he played on both the ice hockey and golf teams.

Shortly after graduation, Bob

took a job in the retail food industry as a sales representative for Amer-ican Home products working the greater Boston area.

In 1951, he decided to move west, and soon after his arrival in Los Angeles, Bob took a position as a sales representative with the Wil-bur Ellis Co., a large food commod-ities company working primarily in the frozen seafood division.

After a few years, he moved on to K&C Foods and then in 1963, founded the R W Joyce Company known today as the Joyce Company, which remains engaged in the im-portation and distribution of frozen seafood products.

In 1953 he met his future wife Ann “Toni” Beck at a seafood trade event while she was working in Hollywood as an actress and mod-el. They were married in 1954, and after living in a couple of locations in the west side, moved to Pacific Palisades in 1965.

Bob enjoyed golf, travel and spending time with his family whom he dearly loved. While his two grandsons were playing baseball in PPBA, you would always find Bob and his wife Toni at the games cheering on their boys. He was a longtime member of The Riviera Country Club and in 1972, he won the club championship, first flight.

Bob was preceded in death by his parents, John and Lena Joyce, and his brothers, John and Paul. He is survived by his son Kevin P Joyce, his daughter-in-law Antoinette P Joyce, and his two grandsons Kevin R Joyce and Dylan M Joyce of Pacific Palisades.

Bob was a curious and gener-ous man who adored his family, and enjoyed all things regarding sports, news and history. Until the end, he continued to come into the office for half a day and in his words, “play the game.”

God bless you Bob, Dad and Poppy. We have the watch.

Robert W Joyce

Listen, alone beside the sea, Listen alone among the woods; Those voices of twin solitudesShall have one sound alike to thee: Hark where the murmurs of the thronged men Surge and sink back and surge again,Still the one voice of wave and tree.

Gather a shell from the strewn beach And listen at its lips: they sigh The same desire and mystery.The echo of the whole sea’s speech. And all mankind is thus at heart Not anything but what thou art:And Earth, Sea, Man are all in each.

By STEVE GALLUZZOSports Editor

The stars showed up, the rain stayed away and by Sunday

evening everyone involved in the first-ever Riviera Tennis Classic showed that ingenuity and action can make a world of difference.

Tennis stars Maria Sharapo-va, Andy Roddick, James Blake, Venus Williams and Monica Puig answered questions from former pro and coach and Tennis Channel commentator Paul Annacone at a VIP reception in the clubhouse, then took to the courts for an hour-long clinic where ticketholders got to exchange volleys, ground-strokes and verbal jabs with all five champions. Finally, former Davis Cup partners Roddick and Blake faced off in a friendly sin-gles exhibition, Williams and Puig followed with a singles match of their own, then Roddick paired with WiIlliams to take on Blake and Puig in doubles. When the last ball was struck, everyone was a winner and a check in the amount of $50,000 was presented to the American Red Cross and Los An-geles Firefighters Foundation.

VIP guests were invited on to the stage for photos with the players and live auction items included four-night French Open and Wimbledon packages (each valued at $22,000), a Rolex watch costing $7,850 and a weekend Porsche Driving Experience (val-ued at $3,800).

Winning the Wimbledon trip with a bid of $13,000 was Riviera

member and Marquez Knolls resi-dent Mark Rosenthal, who played in Sunday’s clinic and whose wife Laurie use to coordinate the host families for the ITA Women’s All-American Tennis Champion-ships, which were played annually at Riviera through 2018.

“We love tennis, we’ve never

been to Wimbledon and our prop-erty in Malibu was significantly affected by the fires, so we’re sup-porting the cause,” he said.

Roddick, who was known for his booming serve and inside-out forehand, competed on the ATP Tour for 15 years, won the 2003 U.S. Open title, made it to four

Grand Slam singles finals and was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2017.

“James and I became close as teammates on the Davis Cup team and we’re still good friends.” said Roddick, who won the 10-game pro set 10-5, ending it with one of his vintage aces off the center line.

“We’ve played each other a lot over the years,” added Blake, a former 14-year ATP Tour veteran who was ranked as high as No. 4. “Andy’s won more than me and he widened the gap today, but this was about giving back. Everyone who lives here in L.A. saw the damage the fires did.”

Sharapova was No. 1 on the WTA Tour for 21 weeks and first attained that ranking at the age of 18. She has won each of the four major singles championships and owns 36 career titles.

“Growing up my goal was to become a tennis champion—that’s what I woke up every morning and trained for,” she said. “There are so many roads you can take. I love to eat, I love food and I can’t do the gluten-free or dairy-free thing. I know diet is a big deal for an athlete, but I prefer to work out a little extra and eat what I want.”

Along with her younger sister Serena, Venus Williams grew up in Compton and played in a clinic at Riviera as a child. Also a former world No. 1 player, she has won seven Grand Slam singles titles, 14 Grand Slam doubles crowns and four Olympic gold medals.

“What keeps me going? Play-ing for Olympic glory or just to be there, to be honest,” Williams said. “I love my job, it’s fun and I can’t think of anything else I’d rather do. Serena has a kid and a husband so if she can keep going, I have no excuse!”

Puig made history at the 2016 Summer Games in Rio, becom-ing the first Puerto Rican athlete to win an Olympic gold medal. She beat Williams 8-6 in the ex-hbition, but Williams got revenge when she and Roddick won the doubles match in a tiebreaker.

Seal, the Grammy Award-win-ning singer/songwriter, played in the clinic and Oscar-winning ac-tress Jodie Foster also attended.

Pali High Tennis Second in FresnoBy STEVE GALLUZZO

Sports Editor

Facing its first big challenge of the season, the Palisades High boys tennis team went 1-1 at the California Tennis Classic in Fresno and

finished runner-up in the highest division following two tension-filled matches last Friday at Clovis North High.

In the Division 1 semifinals against Granite Bay, the Dolphins pre-vailed 4-3 thanks to straight sets singles wins by Lincoln Bellamy and Danilo Milic and doubles points from the duos of Noah Zaret/Landon Cronin, who won 6-4, 6-4 at the No. 1 position, and Adam Glickman/Souma Hayakawa, who won 10-6 in a third-set super tiebreaker.

In the final versus top-seeded Brophy College Prep of Phoenix, the second-seeded Dolphins battled to the end before falling 4-3. Milic overcame an 8-4 deficit in the super tiebreaker to stun Brophy’s Andrew Chong at No. 2 singles, Michael Kaplan was victorious 6-2, 6-3 at No. 4 singles and Glickman paired with Luke Shuman to win 5-7, 6-4, 10-6 at No. 2 doubles. Four of seven matches came down to super tiebreakers.

On Monday the Dolphins improved to 5-1 overall, 2-0 in Western League play with a 7-0 rout of visiting Westchester, dropping a total of four games in seven pro sets. Zaret and Cronin won their singles sets 8-1, Glickman won 8-0 at No. 3 and Nick Arvin won 8-2 at No. 4. All three doubles duos won by 8-0 scores.

It’s one thing to have a blazing fastball, but being able to throw

it where you want to is another. So far this season, Palisades High

senior right-hander Wyatt Loncar is showing why he has already signed to play with Ohio State next year. In his first three starts he

posted a 2-1 record with 34 strike-outs, but what impressed Coach Mike Voelkel most about his ace is that he issued zero walks—a sign he has speed and control.

Loncar’s outing last Friday at Santa Monica was a pitcher’s duel and despite his 12 strikeouts it looked like he might be tagged with the loss after the host Vikings scored two runs to take a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the sixth inning.

However, Cord Vanley scored the tying run on an error and Miles Kirshner scored the go-ahead run on a passed ball, then Vanley came on in relief for the final three outs, the last on a strikeout, as Palisades rallied to win 4-3.

Palisades hosted LA Marshall on Tuesday and Granada Hills yesterday in nonleague games.

Softball Shows Power at Plate

After being kept off the scoreboard in its season opener at Culver City, the Palisades High softball team sought to

score some runs in its home opener last Friday against Vista.The Dolphins did just that, hitting three home runs and

scoring 10 times, but it wasn’t enough in a 14-10 loss to the Panthers from the San Diego Section.

Outfielder Ella Edwards had a huge day at the plate. In her first at-bat she ripped an RBI double over the third base bag. The next time up she smacked a two-run homer to give the Dolphins a 6-3 lead in the third inning. She added an in-field single in the sixth and a three-run homer in the seventh. Fellow sophomore Peyton Pollard belted a a two-run homer to give the Dolphins their first lead, 4-3, in the third inning.

Third baseman Heaven Alvarez, yet another sophomore, hit an RBI single in the sixth to cut Palisades’ deficit to 14-7.

“We always start slow... especially this year with all the rain and no field to practice on,” Pali High Coach Tori Dario said. “Defensively it’s been rough. We’re a new group with three transfers, so we need to build team chemistry.”

Not even the rain could damp-en the enthusiasm or spoil the

fun Saturday afternoon at the Pal-isades Tennis Center, where pro players Mardy Fish, Sam Querrey and Bradley Klahn hit with local kids and played an exhibition un-der the tented Courts 1 and 2.

Called “Super Saturday,” the event was hosted by Wayne Bry-an, father of Mike and Bob Bry-an (the most successful doubles team in history) and featured food trucks, a live DJ and discounts on LiveBall and Summer Camps.

Fish retired after the 2015 U.S. Open and is now captain the U.S. Davis Cup team. Querrey holds the record for consecutive service aces in a match with 10. Klhan was an NCAA champion at Stanford and turned pro in 2012.

Every team wants to be play-ing its best at the end of the

season and Palisades High’s girls basketball squad seemingly peak-ed at just the right time.

Despite being seeded sixth in the Southern California Regional Division III playoffs the Dolphins entered the tournament confident they could make a deep run. Three wins later they found themselves a win away from the state finals.

“I knew from the jump that we had a great chance—we never gave up and never give in,” junior guard Hayley Amador said after Saturday’s 59-48 triumph over San Marcos—Palisades’ second trek to San Diego in three days. “The long road trips and team din-

ners brought us all closer together. We trust each other.”

Palisades jumped ahead 21-8 in the first eight minutes and led by 17 points entering the fourth quarter. The Knights cut their defi-cit to eight with under one minute left, but Sammie Arnold made a free throw and a layup off an in-bounds pass to put the game out of reach. Nine Dolphins scored, led by Arnold’s 13 points, 10 by freshman center Janelly Portillo, eight apiece from Jane Nwaba and Demoni Lagway, seven by Sofia Canter and six by Alexis Pettis.

“Palisades played hard, smart and together,” San Marcos Coach Roger DiCarlo said. “They found a way to beat Carson in the City final after trailing the whole game. I knew they would be tough. They answered every run we made.”

Last Thursday the Dolphins traveled to third-seeded Poway for the regional quarterfinals and found themselves in a tight strug-gle before surviving, 41-38. Ar-nold’s putback with 40 seconds left put the Dolphins up 40-38 and she added a free throw 20 seconds later that closed out the scoring.

“I wasn’t sure how we would do at first but as time went by we really bonded,” said Nwaba, who led the Dolphins with 19 points. “We’re just having fun on the bus, eating together, playing together. We want to win for each other.”

Palisades began regional play at home last Tuesday in the Sunset Showdown versus Brentwood and prevailed 59-55—a bittersweet win for Coach Adam Levine, who was an assistant for three years under Eagles Coach Charles Sol-

omon, his good friend and mentor. Nwaba was unstoppable with

28 points, 15 rebounds and four blocks. Palisadian Sammy Wadler scored 15 points for Brentwood.

Palisades faced McFarland on Tuesday and the winner plays Oakland or Union Mine for the state title at 2 p.m. tomorrow at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento.

Artist and Pali High Alum Premieres First Solo Exhibition in Santa Monica


Los Angeles-based bespoke artist and Palisades Charter High School alum Alex Kling (daughter of Pali

High tennis coach Bud Kling) premiered her first solo exhibition, “Grazing the Sur-face,” last month at the Thomas Hayes Gallery in Santa Monica.

The exhibition features fabric paint-ed with her original artwork, along with hand-painted textiles used as upholstery for select design objects (with furniture from the Thomas Hayes Studio).

Inspired by Kling’s own memories, the pieces in “Grazing the Surface” are meant to depict exploration and escape through medium and content.

“Growing up I’ve always been drawn to art and design—creating with my hands,” Kling explained to the Palisadi-an-Post. “I took art classes as a kid, and I’ve always done little crafts and projects.”

Graduating Pali High in 2007 (as tennis team captain), Kling enrolled at the University of Wisconsin, Madison in the Textiles and Apparel Design program where she explored a variety of materials and mediums.

“I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do in terms of career—I knew I had an interest in design,” Kling said. “A lot of the classes involved with the program included paint-ing, illustration, weaving—I was able to push my boundaries as an artist.

“I ended up focusing on textiles over apparel—I wasn’t as interested in the sew-ing aspect—wasn’t as good at it, maybe.”

Kling began creating textiles and sur-face designs for fabrics while in school, developing and refining her aesthetic and establishing what would later become the foundational motifs of her work.

“What I most enjoyed was creating the patterns and designing the clothes in my head,” Kling shared. “While I was at Madison, I created some of the patterns I still use today.”

Kling’s oeuvre focuses mainly on hu-man shapes—on the topography of faces and the contours of the naked human body

in repose, in dance, in sex. Nature also seeps into her work, with artichokes, blos-soms, folias, koi, lemons and honey leaves swirling in colorful, uncluttered patterns on her fabrics.

Her style, hard to typify, is something like a minimalist rococo combining the whimsicality of Chagall with the pop-art motion of Haring. Her designs dance with empty space, imbuing her chosen lines with a careful-but-playful quality reminis-cent of Hirschfeld.

Mischievous, seductive, feminine, Kling’s art is also somehow wistful, seri-ous—halfway between feyness and feroc-ity.

After graduating in 2011 with a de-gree in textiles and apparel design, Kling worked as an assistant designer for Run-way Textiles while interning for designer Mara Hoffman.

“I was really brought into that world,” Kling said. “It was a great experience, but I didn’t get to be that creative. The company only made designs for women’s clothing, mostly floral prints, so it wasn’t as fulfilling for me to work on that. But it was a great eye-opener, being able to see what the textile industry was like in LA at that time.”

Kling took a job in New York City in 2012 as an artist for designer Wendy Nichol, constructing handmade luxury leather handbags, sculptures and other merchandise.

“On the side, I’d always be painting, drawing patterns,” Kling said. “I’d do it as a hobby—at that time, I wasn’t thinking about turning it into a business. I was just young and trying to work out my niche.”

Kling returned to LA in 2013 to work in the entertainment industry as a recep-tionist for International Creative Manage-ment Partners.

“I’ve always been passionate about film. Half of my focus in school was in film,” Kling said. “For my senior thesis in college, I picked several movie directors to inspire all my handmade artwork.

“It was my opportunity to get my foot into the door of the entertainment world. But I didn’t want to be an agent—it wasn’t

for me, the corporate structure. I craved to be back in a creative environment.”

Kling then worked for several interior designers and furniture designers in Los Angeles, including Estee Stanley Design and Spark and Dowel. Her close friend, designer Jake Arnold, was the one who originally encouraged her to create her own company after seeing her collection of textile and wallpaper patterns.

“He told me, ‘You could do this as a business.’ It was always something I’d done casually—I never imagined I’d be where I am now.”

Kling’s company, AK Design LA, sells original hand-painted and hand-drawn artworks, wallpapers, prints, textiles and more. She digitally prints her wallpapers in LA using sustainable UV-curable inks on non-woven matte paper and her fabrics, which are all linen or linen blend, can be used for upholstery, drapes or lampshades. Soon, her product line will include bed-ding, apparel and other accessories.

Her interior design work has also gained a cult following on the AK Design LA Instagram, where she posts pictures of the spaces she organizes for her 8,500 followers. Kling artfully crafts spaces that play with light, texture, depth and decor to create timeless interiors that feel as easily at home in a seaside Victorian or Spanish colonial as they do in a glass-and-steel Mid-century.

For those in the LA art scene, Kling’s career, still in its nascence, will be one to watch closely—she has only just begun to graze the surface.

“I’m inspired by what’s around me, by different artists that I love, by shapes and objects,” Kling said. “It’s when I’m play-ing around that I’ll suddenly find a pattern that I love.

“With everything I do, I want there to be a handmade quality to it. Whatever it is, I want there to be something personal about it.”

Kling’s work will be on display through April. For more information, visit akdesignla.com. Follow Kling on Insta-gram@akdesignla. Photos courtesy of Alex Kling

Full disclosure: The Sushi Roku on Ocean is a desti-

nation that I have visited before over the years since its 1999 opening. It was a place I first ate at in 2004, back when I worked for a Brentwood-based auction house. I last returned there for a media dinner in 2015, when cer-tain new menu items were being highlighted.

That said, this recent visit to Sushi Roku was not only my deepest dive yet into the charms of Innovative Dining Group’s flagship concept (IDG also owns BOA steakhouse, including one across the street from Sushi Roku in Santa Monica, another Roku inhabits the former Hamburger Hamlet on Sunset Boulevard, Katana in West Hollywood, and Robata Bar in West Hollywood and Santa Monica), it was a powerful reminder of how much I have always loved this location in terms of ambiance and interior decor, which skews sleek Japa-nese contemporary with stacked-stone walls and stylish faux wa-terfall in the covered patio bay we dined at, replete with Pacific Ocean views.

There’s a simple reason I ha-ven’t been to Sushi Roku very often—the restaurant is pricier than average. However, the surf and turf offerings are unim-peachable; not a bad dish in the house.

Salmon Carpaccio, slices of fish dotted with caviar and mar-inated with soy and truffle oil, disappeared fast, as did a Chil-ean Sea Bass, on a bed of truffle miso and spinach with a curly mop of fried onion strings on top.

A-5 Japanese Wagyu Ishi-Ya-ki, served on a hot stone plate and divided into six thick cubes, is a meat-lover’s delight of a starter and definitely tastes like a million bucks—quality Japanese beef, perfectly grilled and smoky without tasting burnt.

Grilled Lamb Chops, dabbed in soy, garlic and ginger, makes for a succulent row of bites. In a different direction, Lobster Gar-lic Noodles offer said udon with a substantial hill of lobster meat on top, lightly soaked in sesame and sake, and colorfully flanked by the hollowed-out crustacean shell.

There is, of course, a vari-ety of sushi and sashimi made here, spanning from Kani (crab), Ankimo (monkfish liver) to Tai (sea bream).

One of my go-to rolls is made of unagi (freshwater eel) and avocado, so I could not re-sist trying this popular, perfect-

ly tangy Eel Avocado roll here, which is generous and sliced into six hefty pieces.

The house also serves a hand-ful of signature rolls. We opted for the eight-piece White Lotus, morsels of popcorn shrimp tem-pura with avocado that is topped with albacore tuna and crispy onions.

My personal highlights ar-rived by land and by sea. The former, Prime Ribeye Steak “Ja-ponais”, saw a gratuitous wagyu steak arrive (as hinted by the entree’s name) with a touch of French preparation in the pre-sentation of the Japanese-style potatoes and garlic green beans that accompany the 14-ounce main attraction. More seasoned than the wagyu appetizer, this charbroiled dish is a must-try and won’t disappoint any lover of quality steak.

As for the seaworthy part, we ordered Matsu, an eight-piece selection of the master su-shi chef’s custom creations that made for one smorgasbord of an omakase platter—sushi made of uni (sea urchin) from Santa Bar-bara, Nova Scotia salmon, Japa-nese snapper, blue fin, toro (tuna belly), hamachi (yellowtail) and ahi tuna. Each piece, smooth and sublime. Bouche amuses, Ja-pan-style.

As for dessert, Chocolate Volcano Cake is not a genre of confection I would normally seek out after a large meal, yet the way it was prepared here was so delicious—legitimately light, moist and flavorful—there was none left to take home.

Of course, we had to pair our appetizers and entrees with some of Roku’s specialty cock-tails, which range from solid to phenomenal. Roku Fusion—by far the most popular adult bever-age—has Svedka Vodka packed with pineapple, honeydew, can-taloupe and watermelon flavors, and it’s a sight to behold.

We also tried the Ginger Snap, a fist of a drink packing a Wild Turkey Honey Whiskey

punch, with ginger, Peychaud’s bitters, lemon and mint bright-ening up the palate. The Wes Anderson film-referencing Dar-jeeling Express contains Dar-jeeling-infused Knob Creek Rye, Cia Ciaro Amaro, Angostura bit-ters and Islay Mist.

Presentation of cuisine here is taken as seriously as its quality. Yet for all of its fusion accents, the restaurant appears very dedicated to certain Japa-nese traditions.

For instance, Roku serves a vast variety of cold sake (as op-posed to the hot variety of rice wine served at most sushi hous-es in Los Angeles), which is the most authentic way to consume the rice vodka with your rolls.

A sensational nexus of qual-ity food, attentive service and oceanside atmosphere, Sushi Roku is where you go for a reli-able restaurant experience.

also featured no comedic skits, though it did include a perfor-mance from rock band Queen, who played “We Will Rock You” and “We Are The Champions” with special guest singer Adam Lambert.

Palisadian Bradley Cooper also took the stage with pop-star Lady Gaga for a duet of the Os-car-winning song “Shallow” from Cooper’s 2019 remake of “A Star Is Born.”

The film was nominated for Best Picture, Best Cinematogra-phy, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Sound Mixing, and also earned Cooper and actor Sam El-liott nominations for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, re-spectively.

Lady Gaga would win the award for Best Actress for her per-formance as Ally in the film.

Cooper’s steamy duet with Gaga had fans speculating if the romance between the two was strictly on-screen, though Gaga shut rumors down when she ap-peared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” rolling her eyes at the notion.

“People saw love, and guess what—that’s what we wanted you to see … This is a love song … ‘A Star Is Born’ is a love story … I’m an artist, and guess we did a good job, and fooled ya!” Gaga said.

Palisades Charter High School alum Peter Ramsey be-came the first African-American winner of the Best Animated Fea-ture award for “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.”

Five-time Oscar nominee Amy Adams, who got her start at the Pierson Playhouse in Pacif-ic Palisades, was nominated this year for her performance as Lynne Cheney in “Vice.”

This year’s ceremony, which clocked in at 20 minutes over the promised three-hour mark, pro-vided little in the way of mem-orable moments, save for Spike Lee’s lemur-like leap into the

arms of Samuel Jackson (and his back-turning snub when the award for Best Picture went to “Green Book”).

There was also Melissa Mc-Carthy and Brian Tyree’s playful presentation of the Best Costume Design award, which had the audi-ence cackling as they approached the microphone in ostentatious-ly long-trained Victorian dresses (frankly, not too dissimilar from winner Ruth E. Carter’s outfit).

The Academy is struggling to reach a symbiosis between

mass appeal and critical integrity with the Oscars. The nomination of “Black Panther” for Best Pic-ture drew ire from film buffs who perceived it as a cheapening of the award category, while others thought the idea of a Most Popular Film award was antithetical to the idea of the Oscars in general.

With the looming future of streaming services replacing big studios, one wonders if the host-less Oscars is not symptomatic of a greater change in Hollywood—a “new normal.”


REEL PALIPalisades Connections

to Film and TV


The 2019 Academy Awards were something of an anom-

aly: This year’s awards were the first to forego a host since 1989 af-ter controversy surrounding Kev-in Hart’s old tweets precluded his candidacy.

The 2018 awards drew an all-time low of 26.6 million view-ers—a 19 percent dip from the 2017 ceremony and a nearly 40 percent plummet from a high of 43 million viewers in 2014.

Many expected this year’s rat-ings to tank, though they took an unexpected 11 percent upswing, securing 29.6 million viewers in the 18 to 49 age demographic.

With ABC charging $2.5 mil-lion for 30-second ads during the ceremony and a deal worked out to keep the Oscars on the net-work through 2028 (with Disney dishing out $75 million per year to the Academy for the rights to broadcast the Oscars), this year’s ratings bump was manna from heaven.

After significant public back-lash, ABC reversed its proposals to change the show’s telecast for-mat, including its proposal to add a widely ridiculed “Best Popular Film” award, drop several song performances and do non-live pre-sentations for certain categories.

Palisadian Caleb Deschanel, who was nominated in the Best Cinematography category for

the film “Never Look Away,” skewered the Academy in an open letter after the organization announced it would move four awards in Cinematography, Film Editing, Makeup and Hairstyling, and Live-Action Short to com-mercial breaks. The Academy lat-er reversed its decision.

Deschanel’s famous daugh-ters, Emily and Zooey, came to the awards ceremony to support their father.

“Sister Emily and I on our way to the Oscars! Getting ready to root for our dad!” Zooey tweet-ed on February 24, garnering 656,000 likes.

Caleb Deschanel’s next big project is the upcoming live-ac-tion version of “Lion King” slated

Public figure and President of the Pacific Palisades Demo-

cratic Club Erika Feresten was reelected to represent California’s 50th Assembly District as a dele-gate to the Democratic Party in an election held January 27 at Santa Monica College.

The 50th Assembly Dis-trict stretches from Agoura Hills through Malibu, Pacific Palisades, Brentwood and Beverly Hills to West Hollywood, and is repre-sented by Assemblymember Rich-ard Bloom.

Feresten won key endorse-ments from Congressman Ted Lieu, Councilmember Mike Bo-nin and LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva.

Feresten first ran for office as a delegate in 2016. She was elected that year, in 2017 and in 2018. She is also the founder of Champion for Leaders, a political leadership training program with a client roster that includes mem-bers of the United States House of Representatives, political candi-dates and Fortune 500 executives.

“I wanted to run to ensure our party takes action turning plat-form policy into legislation that serves the common good,” Ferest-en said in a recent interview with the Palisadian-Post. “One of the reasons I ran for reelection is that I believe the Democratic Party has the most progressive platform in the country, and I wanted to be a voice for democratic principles.

“It’s more imperative than ever that we stand strong in our values and be active, aware, edu-cated and engaged citizens.”

Fereseten has been president of the Democratic Club and an as-sembly delegate since 2017, and has actively advocated for quality public education, a ban on frack-ing, affordable housing, campaign finance reform, criminal justice reform, protecting immigrant rights, ending homelessness and poverty, and healthcare for all.

Her political career began as a phone banker for John Kerry’s campaign after George W. Bush’s reelection.

“I saw on the news they had a phone bank for John Kerry at the Union office, so I just showed up,” Feresten said. “The Iraq War was

going on. I was making my own picket signs, and getting involved with local marches and rallies.”

Feresten had her first child in 2008, and that same year hosted a fundraiser for Barack Obama at her Brentwood home, organizing a handmade jewelry sale and do-nating the proceeds to the Obama campaign. Two years later, she took another break from politics when she had her second child.

During that time, a friend of Feresten’s hosted a fundraiser for Emerge California, a program that trains pro-choice democratic women to run for office in Cali-fornia. Past alumni of the program include San Luis Obispo Mayor Heidi Harmon, San Diego City Attorney Mara W. Elliott and San Francisco Mayor London Breed. Feresten applied and was accept-ed for the seven-month program, graduating in 2015.

Soon after, Feresten joined the Pacific Palisades Democratic Club as a recording secretary. By 2017, she was elected president.

As president, she has brought an action-oriented approach to the club, organizing panel discus-sions, movie screenings, a speaker series, and public outreach events like beach clean-ups and pub-lic education seminars. Feresten even organized bus transportation downtown for Palisadians to at-tend the March for Our Lives rally last year.

The first thing Feresten has

taken on as assembly delegate is rallying California Governor Gavin Newsom to approve safety testing of Diablo Nuclear Unit I at the Diablo Canyon Power Plant in Avila Beach while it is shut down for refueling, and make the results publicly known.

“The testing can only be done before the unit is refueled,” Ferest-en said. “Therefore, we have only days to accomplish this goal.”

In 2005, the Nuclear Regula-tory Commission Warned Diab-lo Nuclear Unit I was among the most embrittled reactors in the U.S. The safety testing Feresten advocates would inspect for em-brittlement, cracking, waste man-agement and seismic stability.

“Because of PG&E’s cur-rent bankruptcy and criminal proceedings, it gives the gover-nor wide-ranging powers to act,” Feresten said. “A Fukushima-like meltdown would cause a mass migration out of California, and because coastal winds always blow inland, Diablo’s radioactive clouds would irradiate and poi-son the fruits and vegetables that flourish in our fantastic Central Valley.

“Diablo’s radioactive clouds would also contaminate the drink-ing water that flows from the Sierra Mountains, through the Central Valley, and into cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles. If there is a meltdown at Diablo, much of California and its econo-

my would be gone.”Feresten is petitioning the

governor to conduct the safety tests. Some of those who have signed her petition include State Senator Ben Allen, Lance Sim-mens and Pamela Conley Ulich.

The Los Angeles County Democratic Party passed an Emer-gency Resolution the night of Tuesday, February 12, calling that refueling of Diablo Nuclear Unit I be contingent upon “subjecting the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant to a wide range of independent in-spections.”

“The Democratic Party is a big umbrella, but I want to focus on all the values we have in com-mon,” Feresten said. “I want to focus on issues that unite us, like gun control and protecting the en-vironment.

“I’m very excited by all the

democrats in the field this year. I’m honored to be able to run for public office, to stand up for our values and represent people of all backgrounds who want to keep our democracy strong.”

The next Democratic Club speaker series event will take place 6 p.m. on March 26 at Pali-sades Branch Library, with a close look at how the opioid epidemic is affecting the city.

Tasked with the important re-sponsibility of molding the

minds of tomorrow, elementary schools often assign students proj-ects that could influence their paths forever. Turkeys drawn from hand outlines might help a child discov-er their passion for art, or a house built from popsicle sticks could in-spire the Frank Gehry of tomorrow.

And at Marquez Charter Ele-mentary School, teachers, wanting to get a jump on inspiring the next generation, have started a robotics

program.Headed by science teacher

Akiko Arevalo, close to a dozen students gathered last year to build robots, working on their projects every day during recess and lunch breaks.

Since then, the program has proven successful, taking students to the VEX IQ Challenge, a na-tional competition organized by the Robotics Education and Com-petition Foundation that scores stu-dent built robots based off of skills performed and awards the highest score.

For students like Aiden Pierce,

the program serves as an outlet for all of his science and technology interests, and builds skills from them.

“I think it’s amazing that [a ro-botics program] is available at his school,” said Aiden’s father, Seth Pierce, who expressed nothing but gratitude for Arevalo and the teach-ers at Marquez who invest so much of their personal time to make the program happen.

“The kids are really loving it,” Pierce added. “They spend their recess time and lunch time work-ing on their robots, perfecting them and engineering them, making

them better and practicing for the tournaments.”

The Marquez Yellow and Blue teams have qualified for the state championship in early March and nationals in Iowa for being the highest scoring team in a feeder competition and winning best de-sign and the best engineering note-book award.

“I cannot commend the teach-ing team enough,” Pierce said. “They are spending a lot of their own time working with the kids and attending weekend events ... The kids are amazing, but the teachers no less so.”

Dear VanyJunior Reporter Vanessa “Vany” Masterson answers

some Palisadian-Post readers’ questions.

Dear Vany,

I really want a dog. How can I convince my parents to get me one?

Thank you,Anonymous

Dear Vany,

Should you invite everyone in your class to your party or just the people you feel close to?

Anonymous

Dear Anonymous,

To get a dog, this is what I think you should do:

1. Do things around the house. If your mom or dad asks you to do some-thing, never moan or whine about it. Just do it, and when you are done with the task, ask them “anything else?”

2. DON’T BEG. This is one of the big-gest ones. If you lay on your knees and start crying for a dog, then you’ll never get one. It would be much bet-ter to ask them a couple of times.

3. After you have completed steps 1 and 2, you should find a weekend when you have no plans, and ask your mom or dad, “Can we go to the pet shelter?” Then you and your par-ents will be more familiar with dogs.

4. Write a contract. If you write a con-tract saying that you (and your sib-lings if you have any) will take the dog on walks, feed it and pick up its poop, then your parents will feel less pressured and more giving.

If you apply these tips, then you may get a dog!

Thanks,Vany

Dear Anonymous,

Let me put it this way: If you have a summer birthday, then you can invite only a couple of people from your class and a couple of people from a different class—basically anyone you want.

Now, if you have a school year birthday, then you can:

Option 1: Invite everyone in your class. You will have a lot of people at your b-day party, but at least no one’s feelings will get hurt.

Option 2: Invite everyone that is your gender in your class, or invite everyone in the opposite gender of your class. This way, if all the girls are talking and all the boys are talking and someone brings it up, you can avoid someone being mad at you.

Option 3: Only invite the people you feel close to. This may be risking some-one being mad or sad, but you may have a better party. I asked my brother about this because he has a school year birthday, and he says inviting everyone in your class is something you do not have to do, but you are taking a risk.

In conclusion, I think age matters. If you are under the middle of third grade, then people are more sensitive about parties. If not, invite anyone you want! I hope you will be able to decide on who to invite to your party!!

Thanks,Vany
