Rehabilitation has begun on the historic eucalyptus grove that was established in 1887 in Rustic Canyon Park. For more than 20 years, residents have campaigned to restore the grove, which the State Board of Forestry originated as an experimental forestry station. Many of the trees are dying because the soil is hardpan and the tree roots are skimming the surface underneath the mulch, said Pacific Palisades landscape designer David Card during a presentation at the Santa Monica Canyon Civic Association’s annual meeting on May 19. A subcommittee of the Park Advisory Board at the Rustic Canyon Recreation Center, headed by Norman Cowie and including historian Randy Young, his mother, Betty Lou Young, and SMCCA members has developed a landscape plan for the grove. Card and Robert Oyakawa, L.A. Department of Recreation and Parks landscape architect, provided their design expertise.   The Park Advisory Board, Recreation and Parks, and the Cultural Heritage Commission still have to approve the plan. In November 2008, the city designated the grove as an L.A. Historical Cultural Monument. The grove was granted state landmark status in 1971.   In the past two weeks, Recreation and Parks started some of the preliminary work by pruning the trees and transporting 66 granite boulders from Westchester to place around the grove’s perimeter. The boulders, originally from a quarry on Santa Catalina Island, will prevent vehicles from entering the grove and damaging the trees.   SMCCA President George Wolfberg told the Palisadian-Post that this is a common problem because ‘people come to the park for a picnic and, while they are there, the parking lot gates are closed for the night. They are desperate to get out, so they drive through the forest. Secondly, kids go in and drive around in there at night.’   Park employees also placed one of the granite boulders inside the grove to serve as a bench in memory of Santa Monica resident Scott Gerwehr, who died in a motorcycle accident on Sunset Boulevard in May 2008. A small plaque will be placed on the bench, which can comfortably sit two people, Wolfberg said. Friends and family of Gerwehr have offered to donate 40 trees to be planted in the grove. As part of the landscape plan, the group envisions creating a path made of decomposed granite along Latimer and another from the corner of Hilltree and Latimer to the parking lot at the pool. They also want to design an interpretive map that identifies the different varieties of trees.   Another goal is to loosen the hardpan soil without harming the tree roots. Arborist Carl Mellinger will experiment with an air spade, a hand-held tool that uses a stream of air to dislodge soil, to determine whether this is the best method, Wolfberg said. Otherwise, alternative solutions will be considered.   ’We also really need an irrigation system to get the water where it belongs,’ Card said. In the meantime, Recreation and Parks has trained seven community volunteers to hand-water the trees. If more money can be raised, the group intends to install an arbor at the path entry near the back of the parking lot. ‘We would also like to take some erosion-control measures,’ Card said, noting that there is extensive erosion along Hilltree. ‘Perhaps a little bit of fill or planting will hold the soil together.’   To donate to the project, click on Join/Donate SMCCA under Community Pages on the group’s Web site: www.neighborhoodlink.com/la/smcca. If interested in helping to hand-water the grove until an irrigation system can be installed, contact SMMC member Chris Casady at ccasa@mac.com or (310) 454-5218.
Tom Dawson’s Cookbook Obsession
Photo by Rich Schmitt, Staff Photographer
If you love to cook and are easily seduced by the lore of the kitchen, recipes, photos and history of food, you’re bound to have a cookbook library. This penchant is Tom Dawson’s excuse for owning more than 150 cookbooks that are stashed in the kitchen, breakfast room, and the living and dining rooms of his house in Marquez Knolls, where he and his wife have lived since 1987. No doubt, there are a few more stacked on his bedside table. With no discreet date of when he declared himself a cookbook collector, Dawson says that he was always interested in food. He was born in Jackson, Louisiana (near Baton Rouge) and, even after moving with his family to New Jersey, he continued to spend summers and holidays in Jackson. Southern food’spicy, fresh and sauced’definitely influenced Dawson, whose collection remains loyal to cuisine from the South. ‘Food was always out there,’ he says, adding that his aunt Maida, his father’s sister, was the food editor at the Times Picayune in New Orleans. She was also the first woman to have her own TV show on local WDSU. ‘We were very much into food. One uncle had a vegetable farm, another had a dairy farm.’ The first cookbook Dawson remembers on his mother’s shelf”and the oldest in his collection”was the 1938 edition of ‘Searchlight Cookbook,’ which offered solid basic American food recipes. Originally printed in 1931 by Household Magazine and updated annually for more than 70 years, the books were distinguished by the tab indexes for each category. This book, as well as the ‘Joy of Cooking’ and ‘Fanny Farmer,’ were anchors in the Dawson kitchen. Dawson bolstered his background in hospitality at Cornell University’s renowned School of Hotel Administration. After graduating in 1956, he went to work for Hilton Hotels, where he had been hired for summer jobs. They pulled him into food and beverage at the Boston Statler Hilton, and his path in restaurant management and menu creation began. ‘I was sent to San Francisco to open the Hilton in 1964,’ Dawson says. ‘The day after we opened the 1,000-room hotel, the Beatles arrived on their first visit to the United States. The place was a madhouse, with ‘Today Show’ crews in the lobby. I developed the menu, which included my own creation’Beatle Burgers: four little hamburgers, topped with lettuce, onion and catsup, served on a small plate. We sold over 2,000 the first day!’ Ambitious, and lucky to be in the hospitality business at that time, Dawson was offered a number of promotions that included leaving the Hilton for Radisson, where he was assistant to the president and conducted several hotel development surveys while also presiding over food and beverage. ‘In those days, every hotel had a coffee shop and a super club, which included entertainment,’ Dawson says. ‘I booked the entertainment for the Empire Room at the Waldorf and the Persian Room at the Plaza. In the waning days of the supper clubs in the early 1960s, we could afford a 12-piece orchestra, and book Barbra Streisand or Eartha Kitt for $5,000 a week.’ By the time Radisson had been bought out, Dawson had moved on to work for Continental Airlines, where he stayed for a dozen years, and then with Intercontinental Hotels until he left the industry in 1985. He worked as a real estate broker in Pacific Palisades until he retired from Sotheby’s in January. Despite living the epicurean life, Dawson retained his love for home cooking, reviving favorite recipes and inventing new ones. ‘My favorite recipes are heavily Louisianan,’ says Dawson, who can always muster an appetite for homemade scrapple, biscuits and cane syrup. For years, he and his wife, Barbara, hosted a scholarship dinner for Cornell alumni at their house featuring Southern country food. His cookbook collection does favor Southern fare, with such titles as ‘Southern Cooking’ by Edna Lewis and Scott Peacock (‘really dated, but really good,’ he says.) and ‘River Road Recipes,’ published by the Junior League of Baton Rouge. Non-Southern favorites include an autographed copy of James Beard’s ‘American Cooking.’ He owns two copies: the prized autographed one and the one he messes up in the kitchen. ‘I like Julia Child’s ‘The Way to Cook’ because it has cross references. If you look up hashed brussels sprouts, you learn how to hash everything else too.’ And then there’s ‘Foods of Old New England’ by Marjorie Mosser. ‘I am especially fond of the Chicken and Sauerkraut recipe. You can hate them both, but love this dish.’ Dawson judges a good cookbook on two criteria: clarity and time. ‘There shouldn’t be a rush to judgment,’ he says. ‘That just leads to mistakes.’ He is disciplined in his approach to trying out recipes. ‘I make them for the first time exactly how they say, but it’s amazing how many you stumble across that are missing something. The second time, I adjust for our tastes.’ Every once in a while, Dawson has a craving for an old favorite. He salivates over the memory of the deviled roast-beef bones he enjoyed at the Bull and Bear bar at the Waldorf in the 1970s. Three years ago, when New York Times reporter Julia Moskin wrote about people’s love for old cookbooks, she interviewed Dawson. ‘She said that she’d like to have the photographer shoot me with the original Waldorf-Astoria cookbook that contained the recipe,’ Dawson explains. ‘I didn’t know where my Waldorf cookbook had gone, and the restaurant no longer serves them, so I tried to track down a copy of the original from 1964. I searched online and, fortunately, came up with a bookseller in Long Beach who found a copy, and one day before the Times showed up, the owner messengered the book to my house.’ While he can resist buying every new cookbook that comes out, Dawson subscribes to the premier food magazines, including Savior, Cook’s and Gourmet. He also prowls the garage sales his wife organizes for clients. ‘Now that I am retired, I help Barbara with appraisals and setting up the merchandise, and have first dibs on the cookbooks.’ One person’s discard is another man’s treasure.
Deviled Roast-Beef Bones
(From the ‘Waldorf-Astoria Cookbook’) Deviled roast-beef bones are prepared in this manner. When the roast rib of beef has been sliced and you have used your portions of meat, the remaining bones can be kept the next day or even put in the freezer. Then you take them out and cut the bones so that the piece of meat remains on each side of the bone; in other words, you can cut close to the first bone, skip over the second bone and cut close to the third bone. That gives you a bone in the middle with a wide piece of meat on both sides of it. The usual portion for a woman would be one of these bones, for a man two of these particular cuts of the bone. A few hours before you plan to cook the bones, take them from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature. Mix together 1 cup prepared mustard and 1 tablespoon brown sugar. With a pastry brush, or your fingers, paint the entire surface of each piece of meat and bone with this mixture. Place on a rack over roasting pan and sprinkle liberally with fine dry breadcrumbs. Place in a preheated 450′ F oven for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Some of the roast-beef gravy that you might have prepared for your regular roast can be used with these bones by adding a tablespoon of prepared mustard to every cup of gravy that you have left and heating well. The bones should be served piping hot from the oven with this sauce and it should be permissible, after you have taken away most of the meat with your knife and fork, to pick up the bone to enjoy the succulent close-to-the-bone meat.
PaliHi Teacher Elson Preaches to the Choir
Photo by Rich Schmitt, Staff Photographer
When the Palisadian-Post caught up with Palisades High School music teacher Josh Elson, he was about to embark on a Memorial Day weekend trip to the Bay Area with his 30-plus concert choir students. ’We’re very excited about the trip,’ Elson said. ‘The students did all of the fundraising, through bake sales and putting on an additional concert. This is our first trip. I don’t think Pali Choir has ever been on tour before.’ Elson, 34, is reaping the results of his hard work since arriving on campus in August 2006, after receiving a master’s degree in choral conducting at Cal State Northridge. ’The choral program was nonexistent when I came,’ said Elson, who set about creating awareness for his new elective by walking around campus and passing out fliers. ‘By the end of October, I had about 45 kids, split between two classes.’ ’It’s been really positive,’ said Elson of his multi-tiered choir program. ‘The quality has improved over time.’ In addition to teaching Advanced Orchestra, Beginning Choir, Advanced Concert Choir, and a history class on world music, Elson also conducts what he call the ‘A.M. Orchestra,’ a volunteer class that begins at 7 a.m., before the school day. A singer himself (as well as a piano and guitar player), Elson has been involved with the last three spring musicals. ‘I started with ‘Once On This Island,’ then worked on ‘Thoroughly Modern Millie’ and ‘Honk.” Along the way, he collaborated with wife Mollie on a production of their own: daughter Magnolia, who is now 16 months old. Once in the Bay Area over Memorial Day weekend, the PaliHi Choir performed a 90-minute mix of Italian a cappella, Brahms, contemporary French pieces, the Harry Belafonte tune ‘Turn the World Around,’ the ‘Spring Awakening’ number ‘I Believe,’ and an original written by Elson titled ‘Crossroads,’ which he describes as a reflective song written with commencement in mind. ’The choir will be performing at various places in San Francisco: in the East Bay, at a church, at a retirement center and at Fisherman’s Wharf,’ Elson said before leaving for Northern California. ‘Since this is the first trip of this kind, all the students and the parents are very excited and enthusiastic.’ Next up: the PaliHi Choir will perform in Mercer Hall on Tuesday, June 2, at 7 p.m. The suggested donation is $5-$10. The choir will also take part in a broader concert involving Pali-Hi’s entire music department at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, June 3, featuring music from such films as ‘Fantasia,’ ‘Forrest Gump’ and ‘Lord of the Rings.’
St. Matthew’s Music Presents O’Regan Premiere June 5
Music at St. Matthew’s presents the world premiere performance of Tarik O’Regan’s ‘The Eyes of the Stars,’ commissioned by the St. Matthew’s Guild, at 8 p.m. on Friday, June 5, at St. Matthew’s Church, 1031 Bienveneda Ave. Scored for chamber ensemble and vocal soloists, ‘The Eyes of the Stars’ is based on the luminous poem of the same title by the Anglo-Welsh poet Edward Thomas, best known for his gripping World War I-era poetry. Two-time British Composer Award-winner O’Regan was born in London in 1978 and educated at Oxford University. He completed his postgraduate studies at Cambridge. His 2008 recording for the Harmonia Mundi label, ‘Threshold of Night,’ debuted at number 10 on the American Billboard charts and received two Grammy nominations for Best Classical Album and Best Choral Performance. O’Regan divides his time between New York City and Trinity College at Cambridge, where he is fellow commoner in the creative arts. He previously held the Fulbright Chester Schirmer Fellowship in Music Composition at Columbia University and a Radcliffe Institute Fellowship at Harvard. His compositions have been performed internationally by the BBC Symphony Orchestra, London Sinfonietta, Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir and Los Angeles Master Chorale. The program will also feature a performance of ‘Statuesque’ by composer Jake Heggie. Heggie, whose operas include ‘Dead Man Walking,’ the lyric drama ‘To Hell and Back’ (libretto: Scheer), and the musical scene ‘At the Statue of Venus’ (libretto: McNally). ‘Statuesque’ will feature mezzo-soprano Rose Beattie, who has graced such stages as the Walt Disney Concert Hall, UCLA’s Royce Hall, the Freud Playhouse and who, in 1999, performed on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial for ‘America’s Millennium.’ The Choir of St. Matthew’s Parish and vocal soloists will perform choral and vocal music by Morten Lauridsen, Arvo P’rt and Randall Thompson, and members of St. Matthew’s Chamber Orchestra will present Stravinsky’s Three Dances from ‘The Soldier’s Tale.’ Tickets are $25 for adults; $10 for students are available at the door, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Contact: 310-573-7422; visit the Web site, www.stmatthews.com/musicguild.
Villa Aurora Concert Revisits German Exiles
Villa Aurora and the Consulate General of Germany-Los Angeles will present music from the 1940s by Arnold Schoenberg, Stefan Wolpe and Viktor Ullmann. The musicians will be pianist Eric Huebner and violinist Mark Menzies on Friday, June 5, at 8 p.m. at the Villa, 520 Paseo Miramar. Schoenberg and Wolpe, both Jewish, escaped the horrors of Nazi Germany to settle on opposite shores of the United States; a geographic polarity that can also be said to parallel the aesthetic sensibilities separating them and their influence on young American composers. Schoeberg and his family lived in Brentwood until his death in 1951. His son, Larry, a Palisades resident, taught math for many years at Palisades High School. Ullmann, who was murdered during the Holocaust, had studied with Schoenberg and wrote the last of his seven piano sonatas in 1944 at Theresienstadt, where he perished. The program opens with Ullmann’s 1922 tribute to his teacher. And while Wolpe’s ‘Battle Piece’ was composed as his contribution in the struggle against fascism, Ullmann’s Sonata No. 7 was dedicated to his children, all of whom’including the composer’succumbed to it. Schoenberg’s Fantasie for Violin with Piano accompaniment was composed in the late 1940s for the occasion of his 75th birthday. Pianist Huebner, a former Los Angeles resident and Crossroads School graduate, made his debut with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at age 17 and was recently referred to by critic Alan Rich as ‘the new superstar’ of the 2008 Ojai Festival, where he performed solo music by Elliott Carter and Gy’rgy Ligeti. As a frequent guest pianist with the New York Philharmonic, Huebner has also performed with a number of the world’s leading conductors and has appeared as soloist with renowned orchestras. Since 2001, Huebner has been a member of the Antares quartet. Recently appointed visiting assistant professor of piano at the University at Buffalo, Huebner recorded the piano music of Daniel Rothman (Albany Records), which was met with critical acclaim. He holds a B.M. and M.M. from the Juilliard School, where he studied with Jerome Lowenthal. Violinist Mark Menzies’ extraordinary playing has been described by the Los Angeles Times as ‘riveting.’ For tickets ($15’$20), call 310-573-3603. Seating is limited and RSVP is required by June 3. Shuttle service to the Villa begins at 7 p.m. from street parking along Los Liones Drive, off Sunset Boulevard.
Dolphins Fall One Run Short
Pilots’ Pitcher Hurls Three-Hitter, Gets Timely Defense in City Playoff Opener
Photo by Rich Schmitt, Staff Photographer
Despite how well Banning pitcher Jonathan Hernandez was pitching, it seemed only a matter of time before the Palisades High baseball team touched him for some runs. The sophomore left-hander got himself into several jams but escaped each time thanks to defensive gems and timely strikeouts. In the end, the sophomore lefty pitched well enough for the Pilots to eke out a 1-0 win in the first round of the City Section Division I playoffs Wednesday afternoon at George Robert Field and bring an abrupt end to the Dolphins’ stellar season. Palisades was limited to three hits but had numerous baserunners–and numerous chances to score. “If you don’t score you’re not going to win, it’s that simple,” Palisades Coach Mike Voelkel said. “Twice we had runners on second and third with one out. Twice we had runners on first and second and couldn’t bring them home. The center fielder made a great catch to take away another hit. So we had our opportunities.” Hernandez (8-3) was wild at times, with four strikeouts and three walks, but he made the pitches when he needed them to outduel Dolphins’ ace right-hander Jon Moscot (8-4), who allowed four hits and had six strikeouts. “My plan was to use my fastball and go right after each batter,” Hernandez said. “I was starting to get a little tired in the last inning. When they got a man on I was just trying to make them hit a ground ball.” With one out in the bottom of the seventh inning Ryan Holman drew a walk, then Josh Korn took Hernandez to a 3-2 count before hitting into a 6-4-3 double play. “It’s a tough loss and one that I’m sure our kids will remember for a long time,” Voelkel said. “In a one game situation anything can happen. It’s hard to reflect back now but we had a great season. We accomplished a lot of what we set out to do.” Banning (18-14), seeded 11th out of 16 teams, finished third in the Marine League while No. 6 Palisades (22-10-1) had gone 18-0 in the Western League. “Our schedule definitely helped prepare us for the playoffs,” Banning Coach John Gonzalez said. “We’re used to playing close games like this.” Hernandez singled with one out in the top of the fourth. After a walk and a hit batter, Anthony Salas walked on four pitches to force home Hernandez. One run was all the Pilots needed to end Palisades’ 13-game winning streak and avenge a 3-2 loss to Moscot in the opening round last year. The victory was the Pilots’ 13th in 15 games and snapped Palisades’ 13-game win streak dating back to April 17. Banning was eliminated two days later in the quarterfinals by host No. 3-seeded El Camino Real, which had beaten Palisades 7-2 at the San Diego Lions tournament on April 6. All four teams that reached the City semifinals play in the West Valley League: Granada Hills, Cleveland, ECR and Chatsworth. “Even though we’re the only team [from our league] to make the Division I playoffs four other teams qualified for Division II,” Voelkel said. “I really think the strength of our league as a whole is improving.” Despite its early playoff exit, the Dolphins’ season was all about winning. Palisades captured its sixth consecutive league title–going undefeated in the process–while plating over 200 total runs. The last time the Dolphins failed to win league was in 2003 when they mercied Granada Hills to win the City Invitational championship at Dodger Stadium in longtime coach Russ Howard’s final game.
Swimmers Ready for Finals
Depth is what won the Palisades High girls’ swim team its third consecutive City title last season and the Dolphins were hoping to rely on that strength again Wednesday in the finals meet at John C. Argue Swim Stadium in Los Angeles (results undetermined at press time). For a change the Dolphins were not the favorites coming out of last week’s preliminaries. That distinction went to Cleveland. Still, Palisades Coach Maggie Nance was proud of her team, regardless of the outcome yesterday. “It’s been a good season,” Nance said. “I have one of the best groups of kids I have ever coached. They are responsible and sportsmanlike. They have excellent grades and are great kids all around. We had a lot of new boys come out for the team and that made a big difference in their win/loss record. They swam much better. My girls once again have been undefeated so far.” Palisades’ 400 freestyle and 200 medley relay teams both finished second to Cleveland in prelims. Nance pointed out that the Dolphins won the championship last year without winning a single individual event. The boys’ 400 freestyle relay qualified for finals with a sixth-place swim. “As for City, I am expecting the boys to go somewhere from third to fifth, which is a big improvement over last year,” Nance predicted. “And the girls have an uphill battle to win the championship. It is possible, but they have to swim their best and have a perfect meet. It should be a lot of fun to see how it turns out!”
Rivera Shines at Quiksilver
The Quiksilver/Roxy National Junior Open was held in Palm Springs over Memorial Day weekend and the Palisades Tennis Center entered a record 25 kids in various age groups. Collectively, PTC players won more than 60 matches. Palisades High senior Justin Atlan upset the No. 3 seed in straight sets in the Boys 18s, but the highlight of the tournament had to be Cristobal Rivera. The 14-year-old played ‘up’ in the 16s and knocked off the No. 5 and No. 13 seeds without dropping a set. He finally lost to No. 2-seeded Andrew Korinek of Texas, who went on to win the title. Rivera has trained regularly at the PTC for five years and has been hitting recently with Wimbledon semifinalist Alexandra Stevenson, who has played in the PTC’s Saturday morning workouts. Blake Anthony pulled off a major upset in the Boys 14s, beating the No. 3 seed Yannik Mahlangu of Las Vegas. Mahlangu is ranked No. 73 in the nation but Anthony continued his run by beating two more top players in straight sets. Robbie Bellamy breezed through the first two rounds, setting up a match against No. 2-seeded Jacob Hedering of Phoenix. Bellamy won the first set in a tiebreaker and led 5-3 in the third-set tiebreaker before falling. On the girls side, PTC trainees Sophie Bendetti and Chloe Wright played their best tennis yet. Wright trounced Anna Mogilny of Bal Harbour, Florida 6-0, 6-1, before losing 11-9 in a third set tiebreaker to Bettina Olah of San Marcos. Bendetti played the No. 9 seed Josie Legarza of Las Vegas and lost 12-10 in a third-set tiebreaker.
Jacobson Makes Golf Regionals
Bo Jacobson shot a final round 76 to finish in a four-way tie for eighth place at the City Section Golf Championships last Wednesday at Griffith Park. With a two-day total of 150 the Palisades High senior qualified for the Southern California Regionals to be held June 3 at the Southern California Golf Association Course in Murrieta. Jacobson was in fifth position after firing a two-over par 74 in last Monday’s first round. This year, both rounds were played on the shorter Harding Gold Course (instead of one each on Harding and Wilson) and that was reflected in lower scores. Daniel Slovis, a junior from El Camino Real, birdied the third playoff hole to win the individual title over first round leader Brennan Amirkhizi of Taft after both players finished with a two-day total of 143. The top two teams and top 12 individuals advance to the regional tournament. The last Palisades player to win the City title was Ed Turner in 1999. Palisades Coach James Paleno offered some historical perspective in the clubhouse: ‘When Ed won he shot 153. This year, that score won’t even qualify for the regionals. It just goes to show how much City golf has improved the last 10 years.’ The numbers bear Paleno out. Over one quarter of the field (23 players) shot better than 153 this spring. The cut was 7-over-par 151. Venice won the team title with an aggregate score of 745, with Granada Hills shooting 764 to nab the second regional berth. Palisades was in eighth place going into the final round and was unable to make up any ground, despite improving by nine strokes. After shooting 420 in the first round the Dolphins shot 411 in the second for a total of 831, nine strokes behind seventh-place Taft. Senior Sheldon Roberts was Palisades’ second-best golfer. Like Jacobsen, he shot a final round 76 for a two-day total of 154, tied with JustiN Nakagiri of Venice. Senior Chris Lee, who finished 10th overall and qualified for regionals last year, was the Dolphins’ third man in at 168 and junior Devon Edwards was right behind at 169. Sophomore Jared Rosen shot 190 and freshman teammate Sam Jacoby improved by nine strokes in the final round to finish at 199. Palisades won its last City team championship in 2005.
