A new semester of tai chi classes taught by Matt Rand meets every Monday night from 7 to 8:30 p.m. and Friday morning from 10 to 11:15 a.m. in the small gym at Palisades Recreation Center, 851 Alma Real. The fee for one of the classes is $35 a month; $60 a month for both classes. All ages are welcome although children under 12 should be accompanied by a parent. T’ai Chi Ch’uan is an ancient Chinese internal martial art that has been refined to a slow, graceful, rhythmic exercise. It has the effect of promoting good health for young and old, strong and weak. Students begin by first learning the 37 original movements of the Yang Family style, also known as the ‘slow set’ of the ‘long form.’ After practicing the slow set for a year or two, beginning students learn a ‘fast set’ to build strength, endurance and aerobic fitness. As students progress, instruction will include push hands and tai chi application. ‘One thing I would like to emphasize is that in my approach to teaching, every student is a beginner for the first five years, and beginners are welcome at all my classes,’ Rand says. To sign up, contact the Recreation Center at 454-1412.
Robert Frick, 94; Engineer
Robert Frick, a longtime resident of Pacific Palisades, died after a massive stroke January 28 at St. John’s Medical Center. He was 94. Robert was born in Minnesota. He and his parents moved to Nooksack, Washington, when he was two years old. Working towards his degree at the University of Washington, he took jobs in restaurants and fraternities as a waiter. After graduating, he was hired by Douglas Aircraft in Santa Monica as an aeronautical engineer. He worked at Douglas for 40 years, then retired. While a student at the University of Washington, Bob met Betty Lou Carpenter, a teenager growing up in Seattle, at a dance. They were married on March 30, 1937 at his parents’ home in Nooksack. After moving to Santa Monica, Robert later recalled, “We only had enough money to pay for our food for two weeks and that didn’t include a place to live. We found a little motel where the owner let us stay until I had my first paycheck, but we stayed there for a year–until we had a baby and the owner suggested we move because the baby was crying too much.” Robert designed and helped build a home on Temecula in Pacific Palisades. He and Betty Lou bought a Mediterranean-style house on Erskine in 1955, which Robert improved with his handyman skills. He loved working in his shop with a lathe, saws and drills. He also enjoyed research and investing in the stock market. The Fricks enjoyed one of the longest marriages in town history. When a Post reporter asked them the secret to their marital success, Betty answered, “We had similar interests and we’ve lived pretty simply. We also had a big backyard for family games like croquette and badmitton.” Robert was preceded in death by his son, Miles. He is survived by his wife Betty; daughter Mary Lou; son Robert; three grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
Charlene Smoot, 78; Journalist
Charlene Smoot, a former editor at the Palisadian-Post, died February 3 in Santa Monica after a courageous battle with leukemia. Daughter of the late Hope Michael and the late Frank Contival, Charlene payed her way through UC Berkeley, working on the Daily Californian and graduating with a degree in journalism. She worked as a reporter at the Napa Register covering St. Helena, where she had the opportunity to be introduced to Clark Gable. Charlene married Michael Ahern in 1953 and they moved to Southern California, raising four daughters in Pacific Palisades. After Michael’s death in 1969, Charlene returned to her journalism roots and worked at the Post as the women’s editor from 1974-76. She married Fred Smoot in 1976 and they retired, first to Palm Desert and then to Santa Monica. Charlene enjoyed global travel, chocolate, tennis, sports watching in general and Frank Sinatra in particular. She was an avid reader and bridge player. Charlene served as a Eucharistic minister for St. Monica Catholic Church. She was known for her fabulous style even during the most difficult parts of her illness. She is survived by her beloved husband Fred; devoted daughters Alston, Nancy, Charlene and Michele; brother Del (wife Joan); sister-in-law Alston Horrocks, stepchildren Susanna (husband John), Miller (wife Conchita) and Kathleen (husband Wally), eight grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. In life she was sustained by her faith, her family and her dear friends. Her memory will be cherished and her spirit missed by all who knew and loved her. In lieu of flowers, donations are suggested to the City of Hope. A funeral mass will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, February 10, in St. Monica Church in Santa Monica.
Gazing Out Over the Edge
A new Santa Monica Mountains book explores the juxtaposition of the range’s natural and urban environments
Photos by TOM GAMACHE We Los Angelenos have been fooling ourselves for far too long. We thought we were popular because we are “home to the stars.” Because Ronald Reagan used to lived in the house down the street, Tom Hanks lives next door, and Jaime Lee Curtis goes to our gym. But thankfully, writer Matthew Jaffe and photographer Tom Gamache have set the record straight: Our claim to fame is that we are home to the Santa Monica Mountains. And if it weren’t for them (the mountains), the stars might not even be here. In a new book entitled “The Santa Monica Mountains: Range on the Edge” (Angel City Press), Jaffe and Gamache explore the natural and cultural history of this 46-mile-long range–the only mountain range in North America that bisects a major metropolitan city–with a fresh focus on the interaction between the natural and urbanized environments. In some parts of Pacific Palisades, it’s almost as if residents are living on the back of a whale that is the Santa Monica Mountains (Jaffe actually describes the range as whale-shaped). They can literally say they are at “home on the range,” though not everyone can spot deer from their backyard. Many people may know the range because they’ve hiked its bucolic trails, stopped to photograph its ephemeral waterfalls, or driven through its windy roads on the way to someone’s house. But establishing the name of the mountains, which have long been misidentified in print and conversation, was important to Jaffe and Gamache, who both live in Calabasas. “Generally speaking, what happens with the Santa Monicas is that they’re not taken as a single entity,” says Jaffe, a senior writer with Sunset Magazine in Los Angeles. “People talk about the ‘Hollywood Hills,’ and I’ve been seeing references lately to the Malibu Hills. “We tried to take the mountains as a single thing and, when you do that, you really can see just how much is played out here and how diverse the mountains are. You go to Point Mugu and see how wild the mountains are, versus the developed areas in Hollywood. It’s a remarkable contrast.” Determining which areas and points of interest were actually included in the range proved to be time-consuming, which confirmed to Jaffe and Gamache that there was some clarifying to do. “Is Dodger Stadium in the Santa Monicas?” they asked the National and State Parks services. The answer is yes. “It took a year or two before we finally got consensus from everybody,” says Gamache, who was surprised that these details weren’t readily accessible. In the process of creating the book, Jaffe and Gamache spent four years revisiting and re-experiencing parts of the Santa Monica Mountains. Gamache, a renowned landscape-art photographer who has spent much of his career photographing the Santa Monicas, reshot about 40 of the 140 images that appear in the book. “In order to appreciate the Santa Monicas,” Gamache says, “you have to come back again, again, again and again. And you have to be very discerning. You have to remember what it was like before and you have to experiment–with words and film.” Jaffe agrees: “I think what was critical, especially when we had a little bit of extra time, was getting back out to places I had been before–even a local trail right by my house–and being able to see things at different times of year or in different conditions.” In the last sequence of the book, for example, Jaffe describes coming down the Backbone Trail during the particularly wet year two years ago. “I had hiked that trail maybe 10 times before, but I’d never seen it in a huge rain year,” he says. “So instead of things maybe being a little bit scruffy, all the sage was fully bloomed out and the smells, everything, was at its absolute peak. You don’t always get to see the Santa Monicas like that.” The book takes readers on three different routes through the unique east-west range. Chapters on “Mulholland Drive,” “Pacific Coast Highway,” and the “Backbone Trail,” represent distinct personalities–edgy, quirky and untamed. In the “Pacific Coast Highway” section, Jaffe devotes several pages to the eclectic individuals and groups–including a large number of Europeans emigrants–who settled in Santa Monica Canyon and Rustic Canyon in the early 1900s. A parcel of land in upper Rustic Canyon was transformed in the 1940s from a Nazi enclave, designed to shelter a group of Nazi survivalists, to an artists’ colony established by grocery heir Huntington Hartford in 1950. “Among the final artists in residence was a nun named Sister Gladys Ann, a 20-year member of the order of Sisters of Loretto,” Jaffe writes. “Hipper than your average nun, she drove from the canyon to Mass on Sunset Boulevard in a Thunderbird loaned to her by Jewish friends in Beverly Hills. While at the colony, she worked on such non-traditional works as a bronze of a skiing nun and the Marcel Duchamps-inspired ‘Nuns Descending the Stairs.'” Jaffe admits he was struck by “the sheer amount and the quality of cultural activity that’s gone on in the mountains,” especially with regard to architecture. Beginning in the 1920s, Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra and Rudolph Schindler began building hillside homes that complemented the landscape. Jaffe and Gamache feel indebted not only to the 20th-century artists whose works have taught them to value the landscape of the Santa Monicas, but also to the people and organizations that have worked hard to protect the mountains over the years. The Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, led since 1980 by Palisades resident Joe Edmiston, is one of the groups that has helped acquire land for and protect the Santa Monicas, which now encompasses 70,000 protected acres. With this book, Jaffe and Gamache aimed to bring awareness and a better understanding of the Santa Monica Mountains to readers in order to inspire conservationism. “There have been these huge environmental battles fought over the past century all around the country, and they’ve tended to be the big glamorous spots–the Redwoods and The Grand Canyon,” Jaffe says. “Obviously, those are incredibly important, but now people are beginning to look at what’s literally in their own backyard. The Santa Monicas offer an opportunity to begin to learn about the intricacies of nature in a different way.” As Jaffe points out, their book coincided with the culmination of two decades-long battles: the defeat of the Ahmanson Ranch development and establishment of the 2,983-acre Upper Las Virgenes Canyon Open Space Preserve in 2003, and the acquisition of the King Gillette Ranch in Malibu Canyon in 2005. Gamache, who lives at the entrance to what was “the Ahmanson Project,” shudders at the pollution that the development would have caused in the drainage system of Malibu Creek and Las Virgenes Creek. He remembers that L.A. Country Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky “came out to a meeting [about the project] and called Malibu Canyon ‘our Yosemite.’ That rallied some people.” Both wilderness advocates, Jaffe and Gamache met over a decade ago and have collaborated on countless assignments in Southern California and the Southwest. Their inspiration for this book began with the Old Topanga Fire, which broke out on November 2, 1993. “That was the first time I had seen a really big wildfire in the Santa Monicas,” Jaffe recalls. “It blew me away’the power, the devastation but then also the recovery afterward. There is no better education to the whole cycle of burn and recovery than what I was able to see that year. It just got me more interested in the Mountains. And Tom [Gamache] is so plugged in out here that he just began taking me to different places; he was key to my education.” Gamache, who has lived in the Santa Monicas since the early 1970s and worked in more than 100 other national parks throughout the country, has photographed many fires. “The first time I covered a fire, I stood looking at a V-shaped canyon, photographing as fire went down one side,” he recalls. “It took maybe 2 to 2-1/2 hours to descend and it took 12 minutes to cover the same area going up. These are things you don’t think about. “You don’t think about the fuel that’s out there,” he says, referring to the chaparral of the Santa Monica Mountains, “the amazing volatility of it, the oil that’s in this stuff. This is designed to burn.” Jaffe adds, “What we have now, they’re not quite natural fires in the way they once were, but it is still part of the process of clearing things out. And I guess you just have to accept that this is a stage in the continuum that the mountains are going through at any given time.” One of the many unusual and interesting details that Jaffe includes in the book tells of a Santa Monica Mountains blaze that changed the plotline of the final MASH episode. The Korean War-era series was filmed on location in Malibu Creek State Park, and the fire destroyed its outdoor set. Gamache, remembering the real fire and the TV episode, says, “You can actually see that they used a third camera unit and they had stand-ins–people running back and forth between the tents as the whole place was burning. Then the story was written that they got bombed.” For decades, the Santa Monica Mountains were an anonymous backdrop for many movies and TV shows. Now, Gamache and Jaffe are bringing the mountains to the foreground and raising the curtain for all the world to see and applaud. “If there’s one thing that people get from the book, I would like them to maybe look at a place that they’ve taken for granted, look at a place that is, in some cases, literally in their backyards, and to see it in a different way, with appreciation,” Jaffe says. “In a really urbanized world, to know that you can have this connection to the natural world, is valuable. In the Palisades, people can have that connection a little bit more directly than in other parts of Southern California.” Published by Paddy Calistro and Scott McAuley of Angel City Press, “The Santa Monica Mountains: Range on The Edge” is available at Village Books on Swarthmore. ———– Reporting by Associate Editor Alyson Sena.

PALIHI SPORTS ROUNDUP
Girls Soccer Falls to University
Photo by Rich Schmitt, Staff Photographer
Just five days after its biggest win of the season, the Palisades High women’s soccer team suffered one of its most disappointing losses Monday afternoon at Los Angeles University. An early goal gave the Dolphins a quick lead, but the host Wildcats answered 10 minutes later and added a pair of second half goals to win 3-1 and hand Palisades its first Western League loss. Last Wednesday night, Palisades (8-5-5 overall, 5-1-5 in league) beat previously-undefeated Los Angeles Hamilton 3-1 at Stadium by the Sea. Needing to win to secure a playoff spot, the Dolphins struck first when Kate Rosenbaum scored on a shot from the edge of the 18-yard box. Rachel Fuhrman scored Pali’s second goal off a crossing pass from Kelly Mickel and Palisades led 2-0 at halftime. Hamilton opened the second half with an all-out assault, but defenders Jazmyn Anderson, Halie Cole, Brittany Johnson and Sarah McNees, turned the opposition away. Palisades goalie Allison Kappeyne also made several key saves. Fuhrman scored again on a penalty kick before Hamilton tallied a late goal. Boys Soccer Palisades nipped host Los Angeles Hamilton 1-0 last Wednesday and defeated Los Angeles University 2-0 on Monday at Stadium by the Sea. Against Hamilton, Chris Diaz-Najal scored the only goal on an assist by David Linares in the 36th minute. Against University, Osbaldo Garcia scored off an assist by Carlos Arteaga in the seventh minute and Eric Rosen scored on a corner kick from Arteaga in the 78th minute. Garcia leads the Dolphins (9-3-1 overall, 8-2-1 in league) with 15 goals and four assists. Palisades could gain a share of first place in the Western League with a win over LACES on Wednesday (result unavailable at press time). Girls Basketball Palisades outscored host Los Angeles Hamilton 13-4 in the first quarter on its way to a 45-30 victory last Friday night. Tuekeha Huntley had 10 points, four steals and three assists and Mariah Lyons added nine points and five steals for the Dolphins (9-15 overall, 5-5 in league). Against Fairfax last Thursday, the Dolphins were outscored 36-16 in the second half and lost 54-44 despite 14 points, 11 rebounds and five blocks from Huntley, 10 points and four assists from Lyons and six points from Dominique Scott. Palisades traveled to Venice on Wednesday and closes the season on Friday at Los Angeles University. Boys Basketball The Dolphins (16-9 overall , 6-4 in league) defeated Hamilton, 74-56, last Friday and wrap up league play against university on Friday.
Paly Swims Second at Home Meet
The Palisades-Malibu YMCA swim team held its annual invitational meet last weekend in El Monte, taking second with 2,576 points behind winner Crescenta/Canada (3,258 points). Paly was 350 points better than third place Westchester Family. The meet was held at the El Monte Aquatic Center because two years ago swim officials deemed Paly’s pool in Temescal Canyon unsafe to accommodate the 350 + swimmers at such a large meet. Through a massive effort, parents were able to transport all the necessary equipment, as well as t-shirts and enough food to stock the snack bar for two days, from Pacific Palisades to El Monte. The event is called a ‘regional’ meet because the format is different from most meets because swimmers 11 and up swim preliminary heats in the early morning to see who qualifies for the finals which are held at the end of the day when the top 16 swimmers in an event swim again. The top eight swimmers complete in the finals and the next best eight times place swimmers in a consolation heat. Midday is reserved for the younger swimmers and all of their events are timed finals. ‘It was fun to do a pre-finals format,’ Paly Head Coach Brian Timmerman said. ‘It was tough on the older kids because they had a lot of swims, but the point of the meet was to give quantity over quality’swimmers working on good swims and good efforts, rather than peak performance, but despite that a lot of kids still got personal bests.’ The meet also allowed the eight-and-under swimmers to compete in relays, which is something that usually doesn’t happen at a regular meet. ‘It was good experience for them,’ Paly assistant coach Eric Butler said. ‘Eight and under relays are an event in Y champs, but there’s never a meet for them to swim it before then.’ At this meet, for the first time in three years, there were swimmers from Paly in all age groups and they did well across the board. Points are given to the first 16 place finishes and Paly had so many swimmers scoring that space dictates mentioning only individual swimmers who placed fourth or better. In the boys division, Stephen Anthony, 14, took third in the Breaststroke. Jimmy DeMayo, 15, placed third in the 200 Fly and 200 Back. Nicholas Edel, 11, took fourth in the 50 Breast, just missing the Junior Olympic (JO) cut by .01 of a second. Michael Lukasiak, 10, placed first in the 200 Free (2:44.30) and fourth in the 50 and 100 Free. Jack McGeagh, 10, took second in the 50 back. Hunter Loncar, 7, took first in the 25 Fly (19.44) and third in the following three events: 25 Free, 50 Free and the 25 Breast. Alexander Lee, 6, took second in the 25 Back ((31.83), the 25 Free (24.29), third in the 25 Fly (41.26 and fourth in the 50 Free ((53.93). In the girls division, Clara Saab, 8, placed fourth in the 25 Fly. Sister Elena, 6, took second in the 25 Back (29.55), third in the 50 Free and fourth in the 25 Free. Courtney Carswell, 10, took second in the 50 Breast, and third in the 200 Free and 50 Fly. Mara Silka, 12, took second (31.98) in the 50 Fly. Olivia Kirkpatrick, 12, placed third in the 50 Breaststroke. Swimming in eight events, Jennifer Tartavull, 14, took first in three events 1000 Free (11.28.97), 200 Breast (2:39.90) and the 500 Free (5:31.98). She also placed second in the 200 Free (2:05.48), third in the 100 Breast and 100 Free, fourth in the 200 I.M. and 50 Free. Hayley Lemoine, 14, placed second in the 200 Fly (2:46.65) and third in the 200 Breast. Allison Merz, 14, placed first in the 200 Fly (2:24.79), and third in the 200 Free and 100 Fly and fourth in the 1000 Free. Shelby Pascoe, 14, took second in the 200 Breast (2:47.16) and the 1000 Free (11:34.81) and fourth in the 100 Back and the 200 Back. Jessica Schem, 15, placed third in the 200 Back. Kimberly Tartavull, 14, placed sccond in the 500 free (5:40.63), third in the 1000 Free and fourth in the 200 Free. Pali stormed through the relays taking first in the free in the 8 and under boys (Joe Walker, Jared Anwar, Finn Bradley and Hunter Loncar), the Girls 13 and over (Jennifer Tartavull, Kimberly Tartavull, Allison Merz, and Hayley Lemoine), Pali Freestyle relay teams took second in the Girls 10-and-under and Girls 11 & 12. The medley relay teams taking first were girls 8 & under (Gretta Johnson, Grace Heck, Clara Saab and Caroline Carswell), Boys 6 & under (Jared Anwar, Alexander Lee, Hunter Loncar, and Marcus Leher), Girls 13 & over (Shelby Pascoe, Jennifer Tartavull, Allison Merz and Kimberly Tartavull). Both coaches agreed that the 90-member team is starting to come together. ‘The kids are establishing friends and starting to become competitive with one another,’ Butler said. Before finals, all of the swim team was in the warm-up pool in a circle doing a tam cheer and ‘splash.’ At almost every race Paly swimmers were cheering for their teammates and urging them on. ‘The finals was the best part of the meet with good races, and camaraderie which is important for Y champs,’ Timmerman said. ‘Right now we have good groups and all levels and ages.’
