Palisades Charter School High School officials have begun the search for a new principal and will soon interview candidates. They hope to replace retiree and interim principal Marcia Haskin, who filled the position last fall after principal Gloria Martinez left in June to work as an education consultant at Loyola Marymount University. If the school does not find a highly qualified candidate, then Haskin has agreed to serve as interim principal again in 2008-09. She has also indicated she’ll stay this fall to mentor the new full-time principal if one is selected. In that capacity, her schedule and pay would be based on need. ‘I felt a connection with this school from the start,’ Haskin, 65, said of her decision to stay. ‘I feel good here. This job motivates me and keeps me young.’ Executive Director Amy Dresser-Held believes Haskin’s presence next school year will provide consistency and stability. ‘She has been very successful in her short time at Pali in building trust among all stakeholders and in increasing accountability across the board,’ Dresser-Held said. Haskin coaches teachers and evaluates their performance in the classroom. In addition, she assists parents with their concerns. Her goal this year is to close the achievement gap between African-American and Hispanic students compared to white and Asian students. She also hopes to improve communication between staff, parents, students and departments. This fall, the school may have a higher staff turnover than usual. In 2003, 92 of the school’s 235 employees took a five-year leave of absence from Los Angeles Unified School District to work at the charter school, and they must decide by April 15 whether to stay at the school or return to LAUSD. With Haskin at the school, she will be able to train new hires. ‘She has tremendous experience in selecting and mentoring educational leaders,’ Dresser-Held said. Haskin, who commutes from Marina del Rey, worked as a principal for Palms Middle School for three years and was the director of secondary services for LAUSD for two years. In that role, she supervised principals at five schools. She retired in 2005 after working in education for 38 years. If Haskin continues as interim principal in 2008-09, her salary will be based on whether she can receive an emergency exemption from the California State Teachers’ Retirement System. In order for retirees to receive their benefits, they can only earn an annual salary of $27,900. However, they can apply for an emergency exemption that allows them to make half the annual salary of a high school principal, who typically earns around $110,000. CalSTRS will allow Haskin to earn the higher salary in 2008-09 if school officials can demonstrate that they made reasonable efforts to recruit a principal with the experience and credentials of Haskin and could not find such a school leader, Dresser-Held said. Last August, Haskin was hired to work at the $27,900 salary. In January, she realized she qualified for the emergency exemption for 2007-08 because the school did not have much time to replace Martinez, who submitted her resignation in May. Haskin began making the higher salary this month. Haskin will help to select the new principal as part of a hiring committee consisting of teachers, parents, classified staff, administrators, board members, community leaders and students. The committee will consider candidates’ instructional expertise, leadership skills and their track record of successfully leading large secondary schools, Dresser-Held said. The candidate must have at least four years’ experience as a principal. ‘Because we have so many veteran teachers, it would be difficult for a new principal to get the same level of respect as someone with more experience,’ said Colleen McCarthy, human resources director. McCarthy has posted the job opening on the school’s Web site, www.palihigh.org, and has attended job fairs to recruit candidates.

Junior Women Give $104,040 in Local Grants

The Junior Women’s Club announcement of grant awards is eagerly anticipated in Pacific Palisades. This year proved to be no different as the group awarded a record amount of money ($104,040) to a record number of groups (37). ‘It’s an exciting night for the club and the community,’ Club President Annie Barnes said. ‘It brings joy to be able to do so much for the community.’ The nonprofit organization raises money from the annual Holiday Home Tour, the boutique and the ads sold for the event. They also sponsor Fiesta Night and Casino night. Barnes was quick to thank the community for its support, which in turn makes the grants possible. ‘The purpose of life is to live a life of purpose,’ Barnes said before introducing Christine Bishop, grant chairperson. ‘This year we had more applicants than we’ve ever had,’ Bishop said. ‘The diverse groups who are receiving funds support our community in so many ways.’ The recipients were divided into four groups: beautification, education, arts and recreation, and community and charitable groups. In the beautification category, a total of $11,000 was awarded to five groups. Palisades Beautiful received money for tree planting; Palisades PRIDE for additional sidewalk benches, Palisades Garden Club for money for speakers; and the Village Green Committee for motion sensor lights for nighttime security. The Rotary Club received a one-time grant to install a solar-powered irrigation control system for watering new plants that will be grown at the corner of Temescal Canyon Road and Pacific Coast Highway. Junior Women gave $24,000 for various projects at local public schools. At Canyon Elementary, the grant will fund a new kindergarten playground structure and landscaping. Marquez’s money will help fund two additional teachers to lower class size, and Palisades requested money to complete renovations in its library. Paul Revere Middle School received grant money for new computers, and Palisades High got money for its college center. Arts and recreation received $43,100 and included grants to the Palisades Recreation Center for refurbishing the little gym’s floor; Palisades-Malibu YMCA for beautification of the Temescal/Sunset corner; and the Maggie Gilbert Aquatics Center at Palisades High. ‘The pool will be a tremendous boon to the high school, but also a tremendous boon for the community,’ Beverley Auerbach said in accepting the grant for the aquatics center. Movies in the Park received money in order to keep the program free to the public and possibly purchasing new equipment. Chamber Music Palisades and Palisades Symphony Orchestra both received grants to continue their programs. The Palisades Art Association received money for its speaker series and Theatre Palisades will use its grant to complete the building of the storage facility. ‘Thank you no only for what you do for us, but what you do for the rest of the community,’ Theatre Palisades acceptor Eva Holberg said. ‘We have set aside 100 tickets for the Junior Women to use for a fundraiser.’ Local AYSO Commissioner Debbie Held received money to investigate putting artificial turf on the PaliHi baseball field, and Calvary Christian School received money for benches for its athletic field. The Historical Society received money to continue preserving Palisades historical photos, and the Camp Josepho Scout Facility in Rustic Canyon was awarded money to refurbish the barbecue area with gas grills. The Palisades Community Center, a nonprofit organization that funded the building of the Field of Dreams, received money for its newest venture: stairs from the parking lot on Frontera to the baseball fields. Dubbed ‘Stairway to the Field of Dreams,’ the project completion date is August, according to Rick McGeagh, who accepted the award. Recipents of the $25,940 that was given to community and charitable groups included the Woman’s Club, Chamber of Commerce holiday decorations and disaster preparedness, Boy Scout Troops 223 and 400, The Kris Kelly Foundation, Nature of Wildworks, Meals on Wheels, the Wellness Community and Palisades Hunger Walk. Palisades Cares received money to buy recycling bins for the Rec Center and playing fields. In accepting the grant for the Palisades Americanism Parade Association, Rich Wilken said, ‘This is helpful in kicking off our fundraising campaign. We are going to need about $80,000 this year, so this will help.’ Firemen from Stations 23 and 69 were grateful to the Junior Women’s Club and thanked them not only for this year, but for their past grants. Firefighters at 69 will use their grant for equipment for the weight-training room, and Station 23 will use its money for landscaping at the station. ‘On behalf of all the members of Station 23, thank you,’ Captain James Varney said. ‘I’ve never seen such a closeness in a community as there is here in the Palisades.’ ‘It is so neat to support your own town,’ Christine Bishop said in summing up the evening.

Three-Car Crash Snarls PCH Traffic

A week ago Thursday, Pacific Palisades residents driving on Pacific Coast Highway between 7 and 8 p.m. were caught in a traffic snarl because of a three-car accident in the 400 block (near Back to the Beach Cafe), located between the California Incline and the Beach Club. According to Santa Monica Public Information Officer Lt. Alex Padilla, a 2008 Toyota Corolla headed southbound in the number one lane and driven by a 27-year-old male, veered into the number one northbound lane, colliding head-on with a 1992 Toyota Camry, driven by a 19-year-old female. The Camry was driven back into a 2001 Honda, driven by a 30-year-old female. All three drivers, as well as a 19-year-old passenger in the Corolla, were transported to local hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries. The crash closed traffic both ways on PCH as well as on the Incline. Cars northbound on PCH between the Incline and the accident scene were forced to make U-turns and exit by the Pier. Traffic was heavy on side streets and through Santa Monica Canyon, and was backed up past the McClure Tunnel onto the 10 Freeway. Coincidentally, at about the same time, the California Highway Patrol was involved in a westbound car chase on the Santa Monica Freeway. Due to McClure Tunnel traffic, the suspect’s car, as well as the patrol cars, came to a complete stop. The suspect was forced out of the car and taken into custody. Padilla did not know what the driver was charged with. An earlier accident on Sunset Boulevard, just east of Palisades Drive, closed two lanes of traffic. Theresa Heim-Kilkowski, the Palisadian-Post’s Highlands correspondent, reported that the accident occurred around 5:30 p.m. ‘I was turning right onto Sunset, going to the Spectrum Club, and I saw the flares up, but I couldn’t see much because they were in the opposite direction.’ Fire Station 23 Captain Bill Ernest reported that a woman in her 60s, driving west, lost control of her late-model Jaguar, which hit the right embankment, flipped and landed on the roof. The car was totaled and the woman was transported to St. John’s Hospital with what firemen termed ‘non-life-threatening injuries.’ Two westbound lanes of Sunset were closed.

Fifth Annual Pacific Palisades Film Festival Launches March 6

Filmmaker Loren Mendell really appreciates the Fifth Annual Pacific Palisades Film Festival, which begins tonight at Pierson Playhouse. ‘Living in Los Angeles, it’s always nice to have a hometown crowd for a documentary,’ says the Santa Monica-based filmmaker, whose ‘Adjust Your Color: The Truth of Petey Greene,’ will close out the three-day event on Saturday at 8 p.m. Mendell, whose 2005 short, ‘Our Time Is Up,’ received an Academy Award nomination, has fond memories of when he showed ‘Bad Boys of Summer’ at last year’s Festival. ‘The crowd was really receptive,’ he says. ‘It was really a good experience. It felt like a small-town festival as opposed to a huge corporate festival.’ Kicking off the Festival will be ‘Fields of Fuel,’ a documentary exploring America’s addiction to oil and its consequences, that drew attention at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. Directed by another PPFF alumnus, Josh Tickell (‘Veggie Van Voyage’), ‘Fields’ will screen at 7 p.m. tonight. If the subject of Mendell’s profile, Ralph ‘Petey’ Greene, rings a bell, that’s because Don Cheadle portrayed the controversial African-American radio talk show host”who overcame drug addiction and an armed robbery prison sentence, to become one of Washington, D.C.’s most revered broadcasting personalities”in Kasi Lemmons’ recent feature ‘Talk to Me.’ Pelagius Films wanted Mendell’s film to coat-tail ‘Talk to Me”s July 2007 theatrical release. Then ‘Adjust’ was set to be a bonus film for the ‘Talk’ DVD. ‘My goal was to always have it be a stand-alone,’ Mendell says. ‘Adjust’ became its own project when the producers found 30 hours of television footage of Greene that had been assumed destroyed. Once the pressure was off on piggybacking ‘Talk”s release, ‘we made it pretty quickly,’ Mendell says. ‘We started production in June and it took about six months. ‘Petey was such a dynamic personality. There’s no one in the media like him right now. If you were a fake or a phony, he exposed it on the show.’ It didn’t take much arm-twisting to bring the biopic’s star aboard as narrator. ‘Don loves Petey,’ says Mendell of Cheadle, a Palisades resident. ‘He does a fantastic job.’ After playing Slamdance in January, ‘Adjust’ will make its West Coast premiere at the PPFF. ‘The producers are still talking to distributors,’ Mendell says. ‘We don’t have a deal in place yet.’ Translation: the PPFF is your only chance to see ‘Adjust’ in the near future. Mendell, producer Bob DeMars, and executive producers Joe Fries and Joey Rappa will answer questions following tonight’s screening. Tickets (454-1970) are $15 tonight; Friday and Saturday $10. For the Film Festival schedule, visit www.FriendsOfFilm.com. Actors Seymour Cassel (‘The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou’) and Robert Guillaume (‘Benson’) will receive the Festival’s Lifetime Achievement Awards at a private ceremony on March 6.

Cinematic Love for “Yiddish Theater”

Yiddish actress and firebrand Zypora Spaisman lights the menorah as Yiddish theater actor Felix Fibrich watches in a scene from “Yiddish Theater: A Love Story”

‘I never saw a play in Yiddish and, to be honest, I never thought I would,’ says Dan Katzir, expressing a sentiment not uncommon among many young Jewish people. Yet unlike the situation of most Jews, that changed for the Israeli-American filmmaker after he met Zypora Spaisman, a vivacious octogenarian. His resulting film, ‘Yiddish Theater: A Love Story,’ is an English language documentary about one little old lady’s fight to keep her Yiddish theater open against all odds and, by extension, keep a moribund culture alive. ‘Yiddish Theater’ plays this weekend in Santa Monica. ‘I was vacationing in New York and I met Zypora by chance,’ Katzir tells the Palisadian Post. ‘She was the grand dame of Yiddish theater. She did everything to keep her show going”from acting to sweeping the floors.’ The 80-minute ‘Yiddish Theater’ follows Spaisman through a hectic week during which she must raise enough funds to keep her production of Peretz Hirschbein’s classic Yiddish-language play ‘Green Fields’ going, or see the theater that she started, the Yiddish Public Theater, come to a close’in tandem with her acting career. Filmed during Chanukah 2000, which that year culminated on New Year’s Day, the Jewish Festival of Lights adds meaning and structure to Katzir’s real-life drama. Ostensibly, the filmmaker uses the eight days of Chanukah as a device to provide suspense”each lit candle calibrating a day”as viewers sit at seat’s edge to see if Spaisman’s cast will prevail. They encounter extreme highs (The New York Times gives the production a glowing review) and lows (a severe snowfall slams New York). Obstacles materialize in between, from potential investors flaking, to the attendance-draining Christmas holidays. The movie culminates on New Year’s Eve 2001, nine months before the events of September 11, adding an unintended layer of poignancy to the viewing; ‘Yiddish Theater’ gives a glimpse of a more innocent, bygone Manhattan in more ways than one. ‘Everything what I do is Yiddish,’ Spaisman says in the film. ‘I live Yiddish, I eat Yiddish, I breathe Yiddish.’ In the 10th century, Yiddish became the official language of Central and Eastern European Jews (Ashkenazi Jews). A hybrid of medieval German and Hebrew, the Yiddish language, written in a Hebraic alphabet, also borrowed some English. Today, even non-Jews pepper their vocabulary with this expressive dialect; words such as schmooze, kibbitz, schlep, putz, and chutzpah have entered our lexicon, thanks largely to our country’s long tradition of Jewish entertainers. Yiddish culture also consists of a theatrical tradition that bridged the shtetls (Jewish villages) to early 1880s American life at a time when pogroms in Russia and Eastern Europe caused Jews to immigrate to the United States. By 1924, two million Jews had arrived, bringing with them a rich culture. When the Folksbiene Theatre was founded in 1915 on New York’s Lower East Side, 14 other Yiddish theater companies existed. But as the U.S.-born children assimilated into the mainstream, this theater audience dwindled with Yiddish culture among the new generation. ‘There’s one thing that can be said about the Yiddish theater that can’t be said about any other foreign-language immigrant theater,’ says Palisades resident Marvin Zuckerman, a Yiddish culture authority. ‘It’s the longest-lasting.’ ‘The Yiddish theater is generally thought to be started in Romania by Avrom Goldfadn,’ explains Zuckerman, dean emeritus of Los Angeles Valley College. ‘Goldfadn [1840- 1948] is considered the guy who tied it all together. He wrote Yiddish operettas. The Broadway of Yiddish theater was Second Avenue”Yiddish art theater, vaudeville, musicals.’ Yiddish theater enjoyed a respectable reputation in its 1900-1950 heyday. Lincoln Steffens called it the best theater in New York. The genre, which peaked in the 1940s, coincided with Yiddish cinema (i.e., ‘Yidel Mitn Fiedl’ with Molly Picon) produced in New York and pre-war Poland. Hirschbein wrote ‘Green Fields’ in 1908 in Odessa, and a 1937 film version was shot in upstate New York. ‘He happens to be buried in Los Angeles behind Paramount [at Hollywood Forever cemetery],’ says Zuckerman of Hirschbein, who died in 1948. ‘He was a world traveler, he wrote for travel books, and he wound up in L.A.’ ‘A lot of famous American actors came out of the Yiddish theater,’ continues Zuckerman, husband of Kathy Kohner Zuckerman, the real-life ‘Gidget’ recently profiled in the Post. ‘Edward G. Robinson, Paul Muni, our very own Palisadian, Walter Matthau.’ Joel Grey’s father was renowned comedian Mickey Katz, who incorporated Yiddish into his act. The grandfather of conductor Michael Tilsen Thomas was the great Yiddish actor Boris Thomashefsky. One of Thomashefsky’s rivals was Jacob P. Adler, whose wife, Sara, was a prominent Yiddish theater actress. If his surname sounds familiar, it could be because his daughter was Stella Adler, whose acting disciples included Marlon Brando. The unspoken irony for the filmmakers is that Spaisman’s mission is a metaphor for their movie”itself a valentine to the culture and something of an underdog. ‘Yiddish Theater’ has squeaked by from screening to screening since its 2006 premiere in San Francisco. ‘It’s sad,’ Katzir notes, ‘that after 1,100 years, just as Hitler lost in his attempt to destroy this Yiddish culture, it’s fading away in the secular world. I’m Israeli. For Israelis, Yiddish is even more foreign than it is for Americans.’ In Israel, Yiddish culture has not been preserved among the overwhelmingly secular youth. As if to make that point, the lead in Spaisman’s play, a young Israeli, ironically shows off armfuls of tattoos (a corporeal desecration forbidden in the Jewish religion) after acting in Hassidic garb. But Eric Gordon, director of the local Yiddish culture society, The Workman’s Circle/Arbeter Ring of Southern California, quibbles with Katzir’s premise that Yiddish culture and theater is dying. ‘The movie has a kind of quality of lamentation about it that I take issue with,’ Gordon says, pointing out that the Folksbiene remains vital. mount major annual productions and stages plays in both English and Russian translations. Gordon’s own Workman’s Circle chapter celebrates its centennial this year, while California’s oldest Workman’s branch, in San Francisco, turns 101. What’s sure about ‘Yiddish Theater’ is the passion for Yiddish culture exuded by both Spaisman and the filmmakers. Another Palisadian, Los Angeles Times movie critic Kenneth Turan, called the film ‘charming and disarming.’ ‘Nothing can take away from the flavor of being caught up in the battles and dreams of a formidable group of people,’ Turan continues in a November 2007 review. ‘For a brief moment in time, we share their struggles, and that feels like a privilege.’ There’s something wonderful about seeing these dedicated actors, young and old, partaking in their uphill production. ‘Yiddish Theater’ is as much survival story as it is love story, and tenacious firebrand Spaisman’s spirit is entertaining, contagious and ultimately inspiring. ‘We live in a Seinfeld society where everything is fast, edgy, funny, but also smells a little cynical and jaded,’ Katzir says. ‘Yiddish has a lot of heart and emotions.’ ‘Yiddish Theater: A Love Story’ screens Saturdays and Sundays at 11 a.m. at Laemmle’s Monica, 1332 Second St. Katzir and Markus will speak following each screening. For tickets, call (310) 394-9741 or visit laemmle.com/viewmovie.php?mid=3304. The movie’s Web site: yiddishtheater.net.

Dolphins Cover All the Bases

It’s that time of year again. Time for the Palisades High varsity baseball team to make another run at the Western League title. The defending champion Dolphins have a new head coach, a bevy of new players and, most important, a whole new mindset. “Overall we have less experience but we’ve raised our level of competitiveness and I like what I’ve seen,” Coach Mike Voelkel said. “Our biggest question will be pitching. So far, they’ve held together pretty well.” Of the eight players who will take their turns on the mound, seven are right-handers: Marlon Zamboni, Elliot Engelman, Adam Flores, Zach Dauber, Riley Evans, Jared Sklar and Jonathan Moscot. The lone lefty is Buck Traweek. Moscot, a junior, has emerged as one of the Dolphins’ aces. He has a variety of pitches in his arsenal, mainly the slider, changeup and fastball. “We had a great veteran staff last year and I learned a lot from those guys,” Moscot said. “I’d say my biggest strength is knowing how to control the game. Not to let the crowd affect my concentration.” Adjusting to a new coach is often difficult for returning players and Moscot is no different. “I was a little skeptical at first because you’re never sure what a new coach is going to be like,” he said. “But Coach Voelkel really knows what he’s doing and he’s helped all of us become better ballplayers.” Returning behind the plate is Garrett Champion and backing him up at catcher is Damon Ray. Lucas Berry and Zach Dauber will play first base, Flores and David Skolnik will play second, Moscot and Ray will play third and shortstop will be shared by Zamboni and Julian Barzilli, Patrolling the outfield will be Jared Sklar and Ryan Holman in left, Brett Whalen (the Dolphins’ leadoff batter) in center and Alex Meadow and Jake Kramer in right. Palisades lost its first two games last week by scores of 5-0 and 6-0, but Voelkel is confident his team will turn it around. “We’re going to start hitting, trust me,” he said. “We had chances in the first two games where some of the kids were a little out of their comfort zone. The main thing is we made some errors that really hurt us.” Champion believes defense and pitching will be the keys to the team’s success. “We’ll be really good defensively and our pitchers do a good job of keeping it low and getting ground balls,” said Champion, who bats in the clean-up spot. “Jonathan [Moscot] has really good location and throws all his pitches right where he wants them.” Monday’s practice was fill of pep and if Palisades brings the right attitude and work ethic to the field every time it stands a good chance to win yet another league title. “We’re still getting into the groove offensively,” Moscot admitted. “Coach likes to bunt a lot so we’ll do that but we’re going to have our share of home runs, too.” Emblazoned on the Dolphins’ practice jerseys is the phrase: “Get to the yard early, leave late” and that’s been Voelkel’s mantra since he arrived. Station-to-station workouts consist of numerous hitting, throwing, pitching and fielding drills, many of them conducted by assistant coach and former Dolphins’ catcher Nick Amos. Six errors led to four runs in Palisades’ season opener at Sun Valley Poly, but Voelkel was pleased with Zamboni’s pitching. “For a first game I thought Marlon was outstanding,” Voelkel said. “He really picked it up, threw very well and didn’t walk anyone. In other phases of the game maybe we were a little too excited but I think we have some gifts in disguise.” Palisades played Panorama on Wednesday and hosts Marshall on Tuesday. The Dolphins then travel to Rancho Buena Vista March 19 before opening Western League play against Venice March 24 at George Robert Field.

Pali CaTigers, Rox! Win Cactus Classic

The Pali CaTigers, a local U12 girls AYSO all-star team that won the Area 1-P title, roared to another tournament victory this weekend, taking first place at the Cactus Classic in Phoenix, Arizona. Coached by Corinne Briers (of the Pali Blues) and David Schneiderman, the CaTigers posted 3-0, 5-0 and 2-1 victories in pool play. In the championship game, Lil Seeley scored her third goal of the tournament on a direct free kick from outside the penalty area to tie the game 4-4 and force penalty kicks. Goalie Maddie Oswald kept Pali in the shootout until Sydney Golden made the game-winning kick. Strong defense throughout the tournament by Ashley Volpert and Emily Cooke kept challenges to keepers Seeley and Oswald to a minimum. Goal scorers included Darby Caso, Emily Segal, Lauren Ketterer, Oswald, Golden and Sarah Mitchell with help from Kathryn Johnson, Kayla Javaheri and Seeley. Maya Schneiderman provided statistical analysis and cheering as the CaTigers brought home the first-place medal. Also emerging victorious in Arizona was Pali Rox!, coached by Phil Pecsok. The Rox!, a squad consisting entirely of 11 year olds, won their first match, 6-0, over Mesa Arizona as Taylor Pecsok, Elizabeth Seaman, Izzy Rosenstein and Laila Touran each scored. A 4-0 victory over the Arizona Bulldogs followed, with Kaitlyn Nyman and Emma Seaman scoring and Brooke Reese making a key defensive play to secure the shutout. Next up were the state champion Bandits for first place in pool play. Cassie Jernigan score nine seconds into the game and Seaman added a goal. Hannah De Silva won the game with her goalie heroics as the Rox! Escaped with a 2-1 victory. Rox! played a U12 club team in the finals. Jernigan scored twice and Nyman once for a 3-0 victory. Rox! led all teams in the (boys and girls in U10,12 and 14) tournament, allowing the fewest goals while allowing only one in four games. The defense, led by Izzy Rosenstein, Natalie Messing and Jules Barlow, was so dominant that the Rox! goalie never touched the ball in the second half.

The Palisades High boys tennis team made it two for two at the California High School Tennis Classic on Friday and Saturday in Fresno. After capturing the Division III title last year, the Dolphins moved up to take the Division II crown, much to Coach Bud Kling’s delight. “Considering we lost three of four singles players from last year, I’m thrilled that we did as well as we did in a higher division,” Kling said. “Everyone played really well.” Playing all of their matches at Clovis North High, the Dolphins beat Piedmont Hills of San Jose and Mill Valley Tamalpias on Friday to advance to Group A (the highest in Division II). On Saturday, Palisades (5-1) beat Clovis East, 6-0, Bakersfield Stockdale, 4-2, and Clovis Buchanan, 5-1, to finish first in the round robin event. Also participating in the tournament were two other City Section teams, Eagle Rock and Taft, which each lost matches Friday to drop down to lower groups. Comparatively, Pali came out smelling like a rose. “This should help us in the [City] seeding meeting,” said Kling, always looking ahead to potential playoff matchups. “To be fair, Taft was missing its top two players. But based on what I saw if they’re better than us it’s not by much.” Going undefeated in singles were freshmen brothers Oliver and Trinity Thornton and going undefeated at No. 1 doubles were Matt Goodman and Jeremy Shore. The victory helped ease the sting of Palisades’ 12-6 loss to Mira Costa in a intersectional match last Wednesday’a match in which, according to Kling, “seven sets could’ve gone either way.”

Revere Teachers Run Marathon

Teachers from Paul Revere Middle School’s Physical Education Department ran the Los Angeles Marathon on Sunday, finishing in 3 hours, 48 minutes and 55 seconds. As a four-person relay team, Revere teachers Holli Omori, Justin Koretz Paul Foxson and Michelle Hernandez each ran a little over six miles. Entered under the name ‘Revere PE,’ they passed off the timing chip from running shoe to running shoe at specified intersections. Koretz had run the marathon the previous eight years. Seven of those years he ran it alone but last year he tapped Omori to run the first 13 miles, while he ran the second half. The pair finished in four hours and 45 minutes. This year’s newcomers, Foxson ran at a six-minute mile pace and Hernandez was happy to be the person that crossed the finish line. ‘I decided to get more of the teachers involved to set a good example for the kids,’ Koretz said. ‘We make the students run every week.’ [The legendary one-mile Sunset run, as well as the Around the World, Big Bear and Grass Mile, are required of all students at least once a week.] This year he enlisted the entire department for the marathon, including Marty Lafolette and Ray Marsden, who both begged off at the last minute. One had family reunion to attend, the other a Bar Mitzvah. ‘We tried to get them to change the date of the L.A. Marathon,’ Koretz joked. ‘How are you coming with that?’ Foxson asked. The boys’ P.E. office at Revere is a gathering place not only for students, but parents as well because of the quick wit, the easy-going personalities and the optimistic nature of the teachers, who last year were the recipients of the Lori Petrick Award for Excellence in Education. To train for the marathon, Koretz arrived at the school by 6 a.m. ‘I run to the beach and back,’ he said. ‘It takes about an hour.’ More often than not, he was accompanied by one of his teammates. In addition to setting a good example, the teachers sought sponsors with all proceeds going D.R.E.A.M.S. (Developing a Responsible, Educated and Moral Society) Foundation, a non-profit organization that Koretz started 10 years ago to provide scholarship assistance to high school seniors. ‘I had a student whose father passed away at an early age with a brain tumor,’ he said. ‘I wondered how could I help him?’ Since 2000, 24 students have been selected to receive a $5,000 scholarship, including three students from Palisades High School, Lillee House-Peters (George Washington), Christine Kalinowski (UCSC) and Danielle Rochlin (Princeton).
