Pali’s Schwartz Debuts “Winter in June” Album

Lucy Schwartz stands expressionless under a green umbrella. No, it’s not raining. It’s the cover of ‘Winter in June,’ the second album from the Palisades Charter High School junior, which features nine original songs written by Lucy and recorded in her backyard studio. Lucy, a Palisades resident who has played the piano and sung since she was little, began writing her own music in fourth grade after attending a piano recital in which many of the performers had written their own songs. She was so inspired by them that when she got home, she wrote her first song. ‘I’ll start playing around on the piano,’ she says, ‘and if something sounds nice musically, I’ll go with it, humming and using nonsense words until eventually, it turns into a story.’ As a ninth grader, Schwartz won the PTA Reflections competition for music composition in California high schools, in 2006 she was a semi-finalist in the International Songwriting Competition in the teen category, and this spring her song ‘I Don’t Know a Thing’ won first place. The ISC is an annual competition for professionals and amateurs whose songs are judged by a prestigious panel of music-industry professionals such as Tom Waits, Brian Wilson, Jerry Lee Lewis and Rosanne Cash. As her prize, Lucy received $3,000 in merchandise and services, including a full scholarship to Berklee College of Music’s five-week summer performance program, which she will attend this summer in Los Angeles. Lucy’s songs have been featured on several television shows, including ‘South Beach,’ ‘Runaway’ and ‘Arrested Development,’ on which she also provides the voice for the character, Mr. F. Most of Lucy’s songs come to her ‘out of the blue.’ However, she admits that her song ‘Paper Plane’ was written about her boyfriend. ‘He likes it, but I didn’t tell him until way after he had heard the song that it was about him.’ Lucy’s boyfriend is not the only one who enjoys her music. In March, at a CD release party at Village Books on Swarthmore, so many of Schwartz’s friends and fans came that they could barely fit in the store. ‘It was a really supportive audience,’ Lucy says. ‘Katie [O’Laughlin, the owner] said that she had never had so many people in the store. Luckily we managed to squish inside.’ At Village Books, Lucy played six songs from her album as well as a song she recently wrote called ‘Dover.’ Her father, David Schwartz, a TV and film composer, played bass and two backup singers accompanied her. ‘It was really great to be able to perform the songs live after recording them in the studio,’ Lucy says. This summer she plans to perform at music clubs around L.A., and on August 12 she will sing at the Harlem Meer Performance Festival in New York’s Central Park. As a result of her MySpace page (www.myspace.com/lucysong), Schwartz’s music has reached a world wide audience. ‘It’s so amazing how the Internet can connect you to people around the world!’ she says. ‘People just e-mailed me from Japan and Holland to tell me that they bought the CD.’ Lucy is unable to choose a favorite song from her album, but says that different listeners favor different tracks. ‘It’s too hard to choose a favorite song. It’s like choosing a favorite child,’ she says. ‘Everyone who listens to the CD has a different favorite. It’s interesting that people relate to different songs.’ Lucy’s ‘Winter in June’ is available at Village Books, myspace.com/lucysong, cdbaby.com/cd/lucysounds and iTunes.

Take A Journey on Noah’s Ark

By

With our earth dangerously heating, humanity struggling for community and transcendence ephemeral, Noah’s Ark has floated into our presence at just the right moment. Inspired by the ancient flood story, Noah’s Ark at the Skirball Cultural Center, with its motifs of destruction and new creation, invites visitors to experience a voyage from catastrophic flood to the prelude of a better world under the hopeful arc of a rainbow. Skirball’s ambitious undertaking, five years in the making and opening June 26, consists of two rooms wrapped in the body of a huge wooden hull occupying an 8,000-sq.-ft. gallery space. ‘There are really two arks, but the visitor is made to feel like it’s in one room,’ says architect Alan Maskin of Olson, Sundberg, Kundig, Allen (OSKA). ‘We are attempting to make this ship in the bottle really big.’ The Noah’s Ark galleries were designed by Jim Olson, OSKA’s founding principal, in consultation with Skirball’s designing architect Moshe Safdie and the museum’s in-house team, with Marni Gittleman as exhibit developer. In an almost prescient way, Skirball founding president and CEO Uri Herscher had always intended to build a children’s educational component and set aside territory on the Skirball campus, off the 405 freeway at Mulholland, for his dream. Seven years ago, when receiving Lloyd Cotsen’s Noah’s Ark folk art collection, Hersher decided to use the Noah’s Ark theme as a metaphor to explore central themes in Noah’s story: storms (meeting challenges), arks (finding shelter and community) and rainbows (creating a more hopeful world). The project intercepts the Noah narrative as the animals are progressing toward the gigantic wooden ark. Visitors are welcomed into a pre-flood zone, where they may participate in making thunder, rain and wind using mechanical sound devices and invented instruments, created by Foley artist Tony Palermo. They then help load the hand-size animal pairs onto a conveyor belt that ferries the animals–from five continents–up into the ark. Once aboard, visitors help the animals settle in, easing the critters’ uncertainty and fear of the unknown. While the ark has been conceived for children, the experience is appealing for adults too because of its simplicity and inspired creativity. Eschewing all references to ‘children’s’ museums or anthromorphized cartoon animals, project architects Olsen and Maskin have integrated materials of the natural world with scavenged items from the built environment to fabricate the menagerie. The ark is made of fir, and the ‘furniture’ within’tables, hammocks, benches, animal perches’are made of unpainted wood, hemp and found objects. But the true genius shines in the animals themselves, created by Brooklyn-based designer/puppeteer Chris Green and OSKA principal Maskin, all of which are constructed using found objects. Green’s pink flamingo stands on a pair of extended flyswatters, its long, flexible neck created from spools of thread, each in a shade of pink. A pink hobo purse, found on eBay, forms the body. The Asian elephant stands on four sturdy Thai rain drums, while a Japanese gong becomes its stomach. Maskin has populated the ark with 160 different species, some unknown, some endangered, and some with ‘bad PR”snakes and spiders. Meant to be more evocative than realistic, the animal puppets magically bring found objects to life. The hedgehog’s quills are surgical tubes, the lamb’s ears are rearview mirrors, and the alligator’s mouth is a violin case, while the ram’s head and horns have been transformed from a bicycle seat and handlebars. The animals from Africa are designed to look familiar to the indigenous inhabitants. ‘Transforming objects is the root of any inventive thinking,’ Maskin says. In fact, his Seattle-based firm was chosen for ‘thinking out of the box,’ according to Robert Kirschner, Skirball’s vice president for special projects and Noah project manager. ‘Sundberg gave us a heart and soul response when bidding for the job,’ Kirschner says. ‘Along with their proposal idea and the usual drawings, they sent a vial of water containing a live olive twig. The funny thing is that since they couldn’t find an olive tree in Seattle, they found the specimen in Southern California, had it FedExed up north, and they in turn FedExed the entire package back to us. I think this said so much about their sensibility.’ Olson and Maskin approached the ark with Noah in mind. What would Noah have done? ‘He would have been practical and simple because he had to get the job done,’ Olson says. This principle is evident in figuring out how the public could enjoy the adventure. The circulation leads through the center of ark, parallel to the lofts to the right and left. Mirrors are placed behind the lofts to give the allusion that the ark really goes on forever. The exhibit designers recommend 120 visitors maximum with seven staff members, who will serve as interpreters, storytellers and puppeteers. The voyage is estimated to take about 90 minutes. In the second half of the ark, the animals are beginning to settle in and have found new friends. The penguins have adopted birds of another feather, and the bunnies have multiplied. In this section, children are free to ‘feed’ the hippos and walruses by tossing balls into their mouth. Children may want to put the animals to bed on a hammock provided with a pillow and blankets. In run-throughs, Sheri Bernstein, the Skirball’s director of education, said that her 3-year-old found endless fascination with the rainbow at the end of the voyage, which can be seen from inside the ark. The glass bridge that connects the sections of the ark offers a time-out area for kids, a sort of Zen experience, says Maskin, as a rest from the densely packed rooms. Project teams members were determined to make the ark adventure more than just entertainment. ‘Kids get a lot of entertainment, but we want to move and inspire them on a visceral level,’ says the Skirball’s Kirschner. Visitors may wonder why there is no Noah aboard, and the answer is that we’re all Noahs, Kirschner explains. He hopes that the lessons, while subtle, will be remembered. ‘The ark symbolizes the earth, and we need to learn to protect and preserve it. We need to learn to get along with each other to preserve life on earth.’ At the end of the voyage, a rainbow arcs across the sky and Noah hopes for dry land. In the biblical version of the flood story, Noah first sends out a raven to see if the waters have abated,’ Kirschner says. ‘When the raven doesn’t return, Noah sends out a dove, and on its second try the dove returns clutching an olive branch. One interpretation of this detail of the story is that the raven, once free to leave, was happy to be on its own. It forgot about the animals still huddled aboard the ark. But the dove did not forget those it had left behind. It returned to the ark, because it recognized an obligation to the community of living creatures. It is that concern for the community’s welfare that is at the heart of the Skirball’s mission.’ Noah’s Ark opens June 26 to the public at noon. Advance tickets ($10) will be available June 1 at Skirball.org or .

It All Starts in the Kitchen for Jake Kalb

By

Ever since turning on the Food Channel at age 11, Palisadian Jackson (Jake) Kalb, 16, has been a committed chef. Kalb tuned into the popular how-to cable program Food Channel for a year and cooked dinners for his family before creating a catering business with his friend and classmate P.J. Fielding at Brentwood School. The catering company served several small dinners before Kalb moved onto cooking in a restaurant, starting in the summer of 2004 after 7th grade. Kalb, now a sophomore has been working at M’lisse Restaurant in Santa Monica since he was 13. An acquaintance of Kalb’s offered to introduce the young chef to Josiah Citrin, owner of M’lisse in Santa Monica, the Zagat’s Guide’s top American-French restaurant in Los Angeles. Kalb met Citrin, and began working at M’lisse ‘five seconds later,’ according to Kalb. He continued to work at M’lisse that summer, and has been doing so for over three years. Kalb works every Saturday from 3 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., and on busy nights and holidays. ‘I just help out with whatever needs helping,’ he says. Dinner preparations start at 3 p.m., but the first diners arrive about 5:45 p.m. Kalb works in the kitchen from the moment the first guests arrive until clean up is complete, usually after midnight. Working at M’lisse has been a tough commitment for Kalb, since it means sacrificing time every Saturday. However, he says that he enjoys his time there. ‘I learned a lot about the restaurant business,’ says Kalb, who would love to own a restaurant in his future. ‘M’lisse is such a good experience because they teach me how to pay attention to detail so closely. For example, we pull the stems off the spinach leaves because they can be fibrous, and we take the skin off of peas because they can be unpleasant to the palate. No other place I know of cares so much for its food.’ Kalb describes the kitchen during busy hours as ‘controlled chaos,’ but he feels comfortable working in the kitchen. When he first came to M’lisse, he worked on preparations for dinner. He moved around the kitchen, doing an assortment of jobs, including the pastries, and currently cooks and arranges many of the dishes, particularly the fish dishes. ‘He’s great’ a hard worker, really dedicated,’ says Chef Citrin about Kalb, who is the first and only young chef to work with Citrin. While Kalb does not get paid, he has benefited from the job. ‘I mess up all the time,’ he admits, ‘but every time I mess up, I know not to do it again.’ Working at M’lisse is demanding, but Kalb is up to the challenge. In addition to cooking, Kalb is also a drummer, and has been taking lessons for six years. M’lisse is located at Wilshire Boulevard in Santa Monica, and was founded by Citrin in 1999. Since then, the restaurant has won several awards, including: Zagat’s #1 American-French Restaurant for Food in Los Angeles for the last five years, Zagat’s #1 Wine List in Los Angeles for the last two years, and a Mobile Travel Guide 4-Star Restaurant since 2001. Kalb plans on working at M’lisse through high school and the summers between grades.

Boxer Receives Ambassador of Excellence Award at Riviera CC

It’s been over a decade since Sugar Ray Leonard fought his last professional fight and yet the Hall of Fame boxer is as recognizable now as he was during his prime in the 1980s when he traded punches with fellow greats Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns and Marvin Hagler. Yes, even in retirement Leonard draws a crowd. The charismatic personality that helped make him one of the most popular champions ever is still there and perhaps that is why so many people flocked to Riviera Country Club on Monday to participate in the LA Sports & Entertainment Commission’s 8th annual Golf Classic and honor Leonard with the Ambassador Award of Excellence. “I had a great career but now I enjoy spending time with my family,” said Leonard, who celebrates his 51st birthday on Thursday. “I truly believe that a champion is defined by what he does outside the ring.” Leonard lives a short walk from Riviera with his wife Bernadette and their children Daniel and Camille, who were there to share the honor with him. He was recognized not only for his 20-year pro career, which included titles in five different weight classes, but also for his subsequent work as a boxing analyst with HBO and as host of “The Contender,” a reality boxing show now in its third season. “It’s great to be a part of this celebration in Ray’s honor,” said fellow Palisadian Sam Lagana, a member of the LASEC Advisory Board. “He is not only one of the best fighters of all time, he’s also a great spokesman for boxing. He’s all about giving back to his sport and to the community.” The day began with a round of golf, followed by a silent auction and an autograph session at which Leonard, donning a St. Matthew’s cap to promote the school’s Town Fair, signed boxing gloves and chatted with invited guests and sponsors. That evening, a reception was held in the clubhouse dining room, where Leonard was presented with his award by LASEC president Kathy Schloessman after a 10-minute highlight video of Leonard’s boxing career that drew oohs and aahs from the audience whenever one of his flashy knockouts was shown. Past winners include UCLA basketball coach John Wooden, TV play-by-play broadcasters Al Michaels and Dick Enberg, Grand Slam tennis champion Pam Shriver and longtime Los Angeles Times Sports Editor Bill Dwyre. After thanking the LA Sports and Entertainment Commission, Leonard began his acceptance speech by saying he had tried to convince some of his peers to participate in the golf tournament. “I called Tommy Hearns and he said he wouldn’t come unless I gave him a rematch,” Leonard joked. “I called Roberto Duran but he had a stomach ache.” Leonard went on to explain that the reason he became a boxer is because his older brother Roger used to beat him up “just because I was there.” He also revealed that he used to sing in church as a young boy and is named after singer Ray Charles. “A lot of people like to size me up, some of you may be doing it now,” Leonard said. “But the reason I was able to prevail over fighters who were bigger and stronger is because I was able to psyche them out. I beat guys with my mind as well as with talent.” Leonard has no regrets about his career, but admits that like so many great fighters before him, he did not know when to quit. “I came back too many times,” he said. “The fights I lost were because the other guy didn’t follow the script. By the way, I own the rights to those fights so you’ll never see them.” Asked what he thought of the Oscar de la Hoya-Floyd Mayweather megafight on May 5, Leonard claimed there was something missing. “It lacked any moments. A big fight has to have memorable moments.”

Palisades Falls Short in Bid for Third Consecutive City Section Tennis Title

Defending a championship is often more difficult than winning it. Palisades High’s boys tennis team found out the hard way last Friday at the hands of Woodland Hills Taft, which derailed the Dolphins’ ride to a third straight City title with a convincing 21-8 1/2 victory in the finals at Balboa Sports Center in Encino. The balls that seemed to bounce Palisades’ way in last year’s final fell on the other side of the net this time around and by the end of the second rotation of round robin, Coach Bud Kling sensed it might not be the Dolphins’ day. “This is deja vu, only backwards,” Kling said. “Today, Taft did exactly what we did to beat Granada Hills [in the finals] last year. In the first two rotations, we had big leads in four sets. We didn’t play that badly, they simply outplayed us in clutch situations.” Justin Atlan, Kyung Choi, Ariel Oleynik and Matt Goodman each won one out of four singles sets for top-seeded Palisades (22-4), not surprising given the Toreadors’ superiority in singles. Doubles was supposed to be where the Dolphins held a decided advantage. Knowing that, Taft Coach Tom Wright gambled by having his best singles player, sophomore Josh Tchan, play doubles with senior Aaron Teitelbaum. “We’d lost to Palisades in the semifinals the last two years, and we only won one doubles set in those two matches,” Wright said. “I was expecting their doubles to be dominating again, so I dropped Josh down thinking that if he could win two sets that was all we’d need in doubles.” Not only did Tchan and Teitelbaum sweep all three of their sets (each worth 1 1/2 points), so did the Toreadors’ No. 2 team of senior Ben Black and junior A.J. Minasian. Trailing, 4-2, against Palisades’ top duo of Mason Hays and Sepehr Safii, Tchan and Teitelbaum reeled off four consecutive games to give third-seeded Taft an 8-4 lead. “Tom did exactly what I would have done with his lineup,” said Kling, who has led the Dolphins to 16 section titles since he took over the program in 1979. “He’s done a great job with that program and I’m happy for him. I’ve won plenty of times.” Taft clinched the match when the line judge overruled Jeremy Shore’s “out” call with Teitelbaum serving on set point, giving the Toreadors 16 points — one more than the 15 needed for victory.

Oliver Goulds and Garrett Champion hit back-to-back doubles in the bottom of the sixth inning to plate the 10th run, bringing an abrupt end to Tuesday’s game against Fairfax and to a regular season in which the Palisades High baseball team went 15-0 on the way to its fourth consecutive Western League championship. Players gave Coach Tom Seyler a Gatorade bath on the pitcher’s mound at George Robert Field after winning for the 56th time in 60 league games since he took over the program from longtime coach Russ Howard. “Going undefeated in league is something to be proud of and it’s definitely ammunition I can take with me to the seeding committee,” said Seyler, who will represent the league at Saturday morning’s meeting. “As soon as they start, I’m raising my hand to nominate us for the No. 1 spot in the playoffs. We may not get it, but we belong in the conversation.” If domination in league is a factor at the meeting, Seyler has a strong argument. The Dolphins (21-9 overall) outscored their league opponents 123-26 this season and won six games by 10 or more runs. Individual stats resemble those in a Playstation game. Cole Cook pitched 35 innings in league, with six wins, 22 hits, seven earned runs, 63 strikeouts, eight walks and a 1.4 earned run average; Johnny Bromberg pitched 26 innings with five wins, allowing two earned runs on 11 hits, 39 strikeouts, 19 walks and a 0.5 ERA; Rob Rosenberg pitched 20.2 innings with 20 hits, 14 strikeouts and a 2.7 league ERA. Reliever Austin Jones did not allow a run in six innings and struck out 10. At the plate Jones batted .537 in league with 22 hits and three home runs, Garrett Champion hit .513 with 20 hits and nine doubles, David Skolnik batted .500, Andy Megee batted .444 with 16 hits, Eric Verdun batted .421 with 16 hits, Oliver Goulds batted .303 with 10 hits and Zach Dauber had nine hits in 16 at-bats for a .563 average. The playoffs begin next Wednesday at 3 p.m.

Golf Third After 1st Round

With 18 holes left in the City Section boys golf championships, Palisades was sitting in third place, 16 shots behind frontrunner El Camino Real, after Monday?s first round at Harding Golf Course in Griffith Park. The Dolphins? score of 397 was five fewer than Granada Hills and LACES, who were tied for fourth heading into Wednesday?s final round on the longer Wilson Course. “We?ve come back from a bigger deficit than this,” Pali Coach James Paleno said. “It?s not going to be easy, but if everyone shoots what they?re capable of we?ve got a shot.” Sophomore Sean Goldberg was the Dolphins? low scorer with a five-over-par 77. Ashton Roberts, who won the 6A League championship with a 73 at Hansen Dam, fired a 79 along with fellow senior Jason Weintraub. Sophomores Chris Lee and Bo Jacobsen each finished at 81 while junior Zach Sklar carded a 84. The top five scores each day are counted towards a team?s total. Palisades must finish at least second to qualify for the Southern California Regionals May 31 in Murrieta. Softball Palisades advanced to the semifinals of the City Invitational draw with a 5-4 victory over 19th-seeded Sun Valley Poly on Tuesday. The 27th-seeded Dolphins (15-6) upset 22nd-seeded Van Nuys Grant 4-2 in the second round last Thursday. Palisades plays Lincoln Thursday at 2:30 p.m. at South Gate Park.

Third Time Is a Charm

Loftus Hired to Coach PaliHi Football

Patience is a virtue and nobody knows that better than Kelly Loftus. After being “passed over” for the job twice, Loftus was named the new varsity head coach of the Palisades High football team last Friday afternoon. “I’m very excited about this opportunity,” Loftus said. “I understand there were some very good candidates and it’s a pleasure to have been chosen.” A seven-member committee, consisting of PaliHi teachers, administrators, students and a community member, voted 5-2 to hire Loftus, formerly a teacher at Pali who now works in the dean’s office. Loftus started coaching at Pali in 1998, when he served as an assistant to junior varsity coach John Kucher. The next year he was promoted to offensive line coach for the varsity under Ron Price. He then took a year off from Pali to coach the lines at Pierce College. When Price resigned after the 2000 season, Loftus became the line coach for PaliHi’s new coach Carter Austin. He first applied for the head varsity position in 2002, but it went to Jason Blatt. “They made the right choice hiring Jason,” Loftus admitted. “I wasn’t ready then. But I was his offensive line and linebackers coach for two years and it was a great experience. I learned so much. In fact, when Jason left he told me I should apply again so I did.” Once again, Loftus did not get the job, which instead went to PaliHi’s athletic director Leo Castro. Loftus, meanwhile, coached the varsity baseball team for three seasons with Tom Seyler after longtime coach Russ Howard stepped down. The football coach position opened up again in March after administrators informed Castro that his yearly contract was not going to be renewed. Castro’s subsequent appeal for reinstatement was denied by the PaliHi Charter School board and he chose not to re-apply for the job. Aaronn Castro, Leo’s son, was earlier relieved as assistant coach and offensive coordinator by Charlotte Atlas, PaliHi’s assistant principal in charge of athletics. His decision to forfeit with 5:35 left in Pali’s regular season finale last November prompted an investigation by City officials. Palisades was 9-22 in three seasons under Leo Castro. Loftus is looking forward to meeting with his new and returning players. “I can’t wait to get started,” he said. “Being a rookie head coach, this first year is all about earning respect. I’ve adopted John Wooden’s philosophy that winning and losing is merely a byproduct of what you do all week.” Loftus was one of eight people interviewed for the job. The others were Ramon Hurst, a coach for the L.A. Predators semi-pro team; Travis Clark, the defensive coordinator at Inglewood High; Bill Coan, who coached at Chatsworth High from 1998-2005; Paul Blair, an assistant coach at Hollywood High; Douglas Bledsoe, an assistant coach at Granada Hills High; Napoleon Banks, a wide receivers coach at Venice; and Stewart Roper, a football and track coach from Arizona.

Spikers Bounced Out of Playoffs

Just when it looked like it was gaining momentum, the Palisades High boys volleyball team was swept out of the City Section playoffs by second-seeded Taft, 25-22, 25-12, 25-16, Tuesday night in Woodland Hills, ending a promising season under first-year coach Chris Forrest. “In my two years, that is definitely the best team we’ve played,” PaliHi sophomore outside hitter Jordan Cohen said. “The first game was one of the best we’ve played all year and if we had won it that would’ve fired us up.” The 15th-seeded Dolphins needed four tough games to finish off late-arriving Franklin, 25-17, 25-22, 22-25, 25-22 in the first round last Thursday. “Our energy, our passing, our talking’ everything was great the first two games,” PaliHi Coach Chris Forrest said. “Whenever they [Franklin] hit it into the net it made me mad because we weren’t earning our points. I knew Taft would make us earn every point we got.” Despite being down two games, 18th-seeded Franklin rallied to take a 7-1 lead in Game Three. Palisades reeled off six straight points to tie it but the visitors used a late run to steal the game. Spurred on by a noisy home crowd, the Dolphins responded with several well-placed kills by Jordan Cohen to finally put away the pesky Panthers. Boys Tennis The top-seeded Dolphins routed No. 4 Eagle Rock 21-8 1/2 in the semifinals at Balboa Sports Center on Wednesday to move within one victory of their third consecutive City championship. Ariel Oleynik won all four of his singles sets at No. 4 and Kyung Choi won three out of four at No. 2 for Palisades, which won eight out of nine doubles sets. The Dolphins will play Taft of Woodland Hills in the finals Friday at noon. The third-seeded Toreadors (14-1) knocked off No. 2 Granada Hills 16 1/2-13 on Wednesday. Softball Palisades was seeded 27th out of 32 teams in the City Section playoffs and traveled to Carson for a first-round game Tuesday, which the Dolphins lost 14-3. Stephanie Torres hit a run scoring triple in the fifth inning for Palisades, but the sixth-seeded Colts (21-12) put the game away half an inning later with a grand slam home run by Valentina Nabayan. The loss dropped Palisades (12-6) to the Invitational bracket, where they played No. 22 Grant on Thursday.
