Students Support Great Causes

By CHARLOTTE COHEN Special to the Palisadian-Post The Student Council at Palisades Elementary Charter School has been saving up its money for a good cause. We are very happy to be able to give $400 to each of these great charities: ‘ Heal The Bay–Key to the Sea, a group focused on keeping the beaches clean, educating the community and schools about how they can help, and measuring the ocean water for cleanliness. ‘ Ronald McDonald Charities of Southern California, which provides apartments to entire families who travel away from their home to get their kids into hospitals. These apartments are built near hospitals, and the family can stay there for a very small fee. This housing is given to families whose kids have serious illness like cancer. ‘ Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, a hospital that cares for children who are very sick from here and all over the world, and does a lot of their work for free. We are hoping that our money can help a sick child get well. ‘ UCLA/Orthopedic Hospital Center for Cerebral Palsy. Cerebral palsy is a medical condition that affects control of the muscles. We are hoping that our money will help those with this condition. Pali Elementary’s Student Council hopes it can stay connected to the community by helping them. (Charlotte Cohen was the fourth grade historian at Palisades Elementary School.)

Tuesdays at the Hauns’ and 1000s of Books

By GARRETT WAIT Palisadian-Post Intern The smell of old manuscripts is subtle but strong when one steps through the front door of Jim and Judith Haun’s home in Pacific Palisades. Thousands of books of short stories and essays, their pages yellowed over time, line the staircase up to the second floor. All of them have been read, and all of them have been discussed thoroughly by a group of friends who meet every Tuesday night. That’s not surprising; the reading club has had 42 years to get through them all. That’s exactly what they’ve done, according to Jim, the founder of the Palisades reading club. The group has met regularly for more than four decades, with each weekly meeting’s discussion based on a new short story or essay. They’ve gotten through thousands of well-known stories and plenty that aren’t nearly as well known. Jim has been the leader of the group as long as it has been around. But he doesn’t just see himself in the role of discussion leader. The meetings are part of a larger, continuing sociological experiment in which he sees himself as an outside observer more than an active participant. “I guess what we’re looking for is the overview,” he said. “I describe myself as an anthropologist from outer space.” On any given Tuesday at 7:30 p.m., between 15 and 20 people file into the Hauns’ home. All have been there before; most have long-designated seats ready for them as they enter. These are loyal group members, some of whom travel from as far as Palos Verdes and the San Fernando Valley. The group has spawned lifelong relationships among the members. It is how the Hauns met and eventually married 26 years ago, according to Judith. “We met in an odd way in a restaurant,” she said. “We weren’t together, but we were sitting real close to each other. I knew the woman he was with and we were seated so close to each other that we got to talking. He invited me to come to the group.” The Hauns’ relationship has allowed them to be partners in hosting the meetings. However, Judith defers to Jim once the discussion begins. “Jim is just a fabulous leader,” she said. “He holds the group together, they respect and love and appreciate him. I’m just there to be part of the group, to put out the cake, to be there and to participate and to help out any way I can. I really think people come because of Jim.” For about half an hour, the group mills around the kitchen, eating cake, catching up on the week’s happenings and telling jokes with old friends. These are people who have had decades to get to know each other. After all, the youngest person in the group is in his 50s, with many members in their 80s. They have a good sense of when tea time is over, thanks to years of attendance, but if they’ve forgotten, Jim reminds everybody with a few swift strikes of a gong in the corner of the reading room. The topic of discussion on this night is an essay on feminism by Maureen Dowd. Everybody in the room had read it thoroughly, dissecting parts they agreed or disagreed with. It’s the disagreements, obviously, that spark the most fervent discussion. One bold statement can set off a cacophony of sound. Arguments are deftly prepared and thoroughly discussed. No stone is left unturned. However, political statements aren’t allowed. “Politics get too personal and particular,” Jim said. “We’re looking for a philosophical overview of humanity.” Through it all, Jim works as a vocal traffic cop. He guides the discussion in all the right directions, making sure that anybody who wants to speak gets a chance to say what’s on his or her mind. “I try to make it possible for everyone who wants to speak to get in,” he said. “When the group gets off topic, I try to bring it back. I also try to bring up things in the reading that haven’t been talked about yet.” This has been the tradition since the group’s humble beginnings, when Jim led a discussion of “Contemporary Moral Issues,” a book of essays edited by Harry K. Girvetz. The book was chosen as part of a UCLA outreach program. Participants paid $10 for the 11-week course, and got the book with the payment. One particular group liked the meetings so much that they decided to continue getting together, and they’ve been doing it ever since. In the past few months, the group has gone through stories such as “The Ninth in E Minor” by Frederick Busch, “Chekhov’s Journey” by James McConkey, “A Memorial to the Slain” by William March and “Lappin and Lapinova” by Virginia Woolf. Some authors and stories get special attention, according to Judith. “Sometimes we have repeated stories,” she said. “It’s always interesting because it’s different the second time. “It’s different from any other book group. We’re substantial in some way. These are very bright people, very eclectic people. They all come from different points of view.” The group has changed a little over time, with members moving away or passing on, but the core and the driving force behind the group remains the same. “The meetings will go on as long as the leader survives and as long as the group holds out,” she said. “People keep coming. Just when you think this is the group, other people hear about it or come. The group seems to sustain itself.” The embodiment of the group’s passion for reading is summed up by a Logan Pearsall Smith quote that hangs on the wall in the Hauns’ reading room: “People say that life is the thing, but I prefer reading.”

Mustang All-Stars Win Section, Advance

Sure, the Palisades Pony Baseball Association’s Mustang all-star team found comfort at home for the District Playoffs, yet it is also proving capable of winning in unfamiliar territory. Palisades clinched a berth in the Sectionals with a rousing 6-5 victory over Paramount last Wednesday at the Field of Dreams and the team rode that confidence to convincing victories over Norwalk and Lynwood last weekend in Manhattan Beach that earned the squad a spot in the Regional tournament, which begins today at Charter Oak Park in Covina. According to PPBA Commissioner Bob Benton, no local Mustang all-star team has ever advanced this far in the Pony playoffs. Palisades’ Pinto all-stars (ages 7-8) reached the Sectionals last year. “I’m so proud of each and every player’it has truly been a team effort to be Coast Division champs,” head coach Bill Elder said. “Obviously, we want to keep going but I want our team to savor this. To be one of the eight teams left in Southern California says a lot about how hard these kids have worked.” Palisades opened the Sectional tournament by beating Norwalk, 11-5, Saturday at Mira Costa High. Pali scored three runs in the top of the first inning and five more in the second to take a commanding 8-2 lead. Matt McGeagh and Jackson Kogan each went three-for-four at the plate. “It’s all about practice’if you get enough practice in, you are confident enough to throw all of your pitches,” said Pali’s left-handed ace Jackson Bantle, who turns 11 today. “The coaches tell us not to worry about the pressure, which makes it easier to do well.” Bantle was overpowering for the first three innings against Norwalk. Justin Ruder came on in the fourth and used his nasty curveball to keep opposing hitters lunging at air for the rest of the game. In Sunday’s championship game against Lynwood, Palisades starter Brett Elder, who had pitched a complete game in the victory over Paramount, had a rough first two innings before heeding the advice of his coaches to throw more curve balls. “[Assistant coach] Rick McGeagh and I noticed that their batters were sitting on the fast ball, just waiting for Brett to throw it,” Bill Elder said. “We also saw that they couldn’t hit the off-speed stuff, so in the third inning we decided to have our pitchers throw fewer fast balls.” The strategy worked, as Elder shut Lynwood down for the next two innings while Pali’s offense exploded for five runs in the first inning and three in the second. Matt McGeagh, Jackson Kogan and Dawson Rosenberg all had multiple hits and Bantle pitched the last two innings of the 10-5 win. “Our coaches remind us to keep our heads in the game, no matter what the score,” said third baseman Joe Rosenbaum, soon to be a sixth-grader at Paul Revere. “We know we can come back because we’ve done it before.” No game tested Pali’s resolve more than the win over Paramount that allowed the PPBA’s 9- and 10-year-old all-stars to advance to the Sectionals. Elder pitched a nine-hitter with four strikeouts, but the hosts still trailed 4-3 with two turns at bat left. In the top of the fifth, Beetley singled with one out, then scored the tying run on a single by Brett Elder. In the top of the sixth, Kogan singled to right to score Dawson Rosenberg, then Paul Kirkpatrick tripled to center to score Kogan. Matt McGeagh, who singled and hit a sacrifice fly to score Wylie Beetley against Paramount, relies on patience at the plate. “I always look for the high and inside pitch, and I hit it,” he said. Paramount threatened to tie the game in the bottom of the sixth, but Elder got a strike out and catcher Jackson Kogan immediately threw a bullet to third base, where Kirkpatrick tagged a runner attempting a steal for the final out. Should Palisades win the Regional tournament, it would advance to the West Zonals in Chino Hills, where it would play for a berth in the World Series, to be held August 2-5 in Irving, Texas.

Black and Blue Champions

Pali Volleyball Club Teams Win Gold at Junior Olympics

They say that good things come to those who wait. Charlie Stennett can certainly relate. He has been a co-owner of the Pacific Palisades Volleyball Club for 22 years and has experienced his share of close calls and near-misses. Gratified would not be a strong enough word, then, to describe the way he felt after watching not one but two of his boys teams win national championships at this year’s Junior Olympics in Minneapolis, Minnesota. “I couldn’t be happier,” Stennett said. “We have a special group of kids and the coaches did a phenomenal job. I knew we would be strong but for two of our teams to finish first against the best competition in the country is pretty impressive.” Pali’s 15-1 “Blue” team, seeded No. 1 in the Open division, lost only two games in 11 matches at the four-day tournament and took first place with a 25-17, 25-23 sweep of Torrimar, a team from Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, in the championship match last Wednesday afternoon. Two hours later, Pali’s 17-and-under “Black” team gave PPVBC its second first-place finish of the day by prevailing 20-25, 25-20, 17-15 over Outrigger of Honolulu, Hawaii, in the finals. The championship was vindication for Pali’s 15-and-under squad, which finished second in the 14s last year. This time, it would not be denied, thanks in part to head coach Matt Diaz and assistants Brian Beckwith and Bryan Stennett, both former PPVBC and Loyola High players. Beckwith, a first-team All-American setter at the University of Hawaii, played for Diaz for three years at PPVBC but never finished higher than fifth at the JOs. “It was great to have Brian helping us out,” Diaz said. “He bleeds Palisades volleyball and he was I think he was as thrilled that we won as any of the players because it’s one thing he never did.” Pali Blue’s only moment of drama came on the third day of pool play when it dropped the first game to Balboa Bay Club of Costa Mesa, 25-22, before rallying to win the final two games, 25-17, 15-8. In the semifinals, Pali made short work of Outrigger, 25-12, 25-18. Setter Oliver Deutschman was named most valuable player while fellow Palisadian Matthew Bagnard, an outside hitter at Harvard-Westlake High, was voted to the All-Tournament team along with Sean Berman of Santa Monica and Martin Tolentino of Culver City. Rounding out the squad were Jake Kneller of Westlake, Ian Satterfield of Manhattan Beach and local residents Matt Hanley (Palisades High), Michael Hartwick (Harvard-Westlake), Jacob Sachse (Crossroads), Robert Stoeckinger (Loyola) and Mason Wojciechowski (Crespi). While Pali’s 15s made their opponents blue using cool efficiency, the 17’s Black “attack” was clicking on all cylinders thanks in large part to the expertise of Jeff Campbell, the men’s coach at Cal State Northridge, who began working with the Pali team in June. Campbell was assisted by Ricardo Hernandez and Chris Mortimer. Seeded No. 2, Pali won 16 of 19 games in pool play and advanced through the medal round with a 25-8, 25-19 quarterfinal victory over Adversity Elite of Des Plaines, Illinois, and a grueling 20-25, 25-22, 22-20 win over Balboa Bay in the semifinals. “That was a really tough match,” said Palisades’ middle blocker Clark Porter, a senior-to-be at Harvard-Westlake. “The third game was only to 15 points but it kept going on and on. Beating Balboa Bay was huge because they beat us in the finals of the Boys Classic.” Seven of the team’s 12 players live in the Palisades and four of those players are teammates at Loyola: twin brothers Stephen and Douglas Brown, outside hitter Matthew Ricard and opposite Brian Scilacci, who was voted to the All-Tournament team along with Thomas McAndrews of Brentwood and most valuable player Hugh Wilton of West L.A. The other local players are middle bocker/outside hitter Sean Dennis, a teammate of Porter’s at Harvard-Westlake, and Paul Peterson, who attends Oaks Christian. Rounding out the squad were Matt Talamantes of Sun Valley and Santa Monica residents Ari Feldman and Bennett Duval. “We felt pretty confident going in that we could do well,” Porter said. “We ran a 6-2 [two-setter] offense that made us hard to stop.” Greg Wilson made the All-Tournament team for Pali’s 16-and-under club division squad and Matthew Moore earned All-Tournament honors for Pali’s 15-and-under club team. Deutschman, Satterfield and Robert Feathers, who plays on Pali’s 14s team, were among 20 players nationwide selected to participate in next week’s Boys USA Select Camp.

David J. Smith, 69; Passionate Tennis Player in the Highlands

Retired insurance executive David J. Smith, an avid tennis player and sometimes golfer, died July 3 after a three-year battle with colon cancer. He was 69. A Pacific Palisades resident since 1974, Dave was born in Greensburg, Indiana, on January 6, 1937. His father Perry, a naval officer stationed at Alameda during World War II, moved the family to the San Francisco Bay area in 1947 and pursued a graduate degree at Stanford University. The family settled in Hayward, where Dave attended high school and played on the school tennis team. Following a four-year stint in the Navy, Dave graduated from San Jose State University and began a career with the Insurance Company of North America in San Jose. This included positions in the field, Santa Rosa, San Francisco and head-office tenure in Philadelphia. Following a transfer from Philadelphia to Los Angeles to head the local claims office, Dave received an MBA degree from Pepperdine University and continued insurance work with Cravens Dargen Insurance Company, a subsidiary of Connecticut General. A merger with INA created CIGNA Insurance Company, from which he retired in 1997 after 35 years. Dave and his wife, Beverly, met in San Francisco. “I was living in the city and he was in the midst of moving down from Santa Rosa to the financial district,” Beverly recalled. “I was a high school counselor and one of the teachers at my school and her husband were good friends of David and they introduced us.” The husband, Wayne Westphal, was best man when Dave and Beverly married in March 1970. Beverly, who graduated from Washington State University in 1958, joined with her husband to establish the David and Beverly Dalstone Smith Endowment in the College of Liberal Arts at WSU. They were honored as Benefactors by the WSU Foundation last October for their 35 years of helping dozens of deserving students achieve their educational goals. Dave served for many years on the College of Liberal Arts advisory council and the WSU Southern California Leadership Council. After his retirement, Dave was a familiar figure on the tennis courts in the Palisades Highlands, where he belonged to half-a-dozen tennis groups. “He loved to cook and eat and watch basketball on television,” Beverly said, “but he also enjoyed running and walking up and down Palisades Drive to stay in shape.” A licensed real estate agent since the early 1980s (first for Jon Douglas, now with Coldwell Banker), Beverly enjoyed having Dave plan their travel adventures. “He handled the itinerary for trips to places like England, France, Bangkok and Hong Kong, and he loved our second home in the desert.” Dave was also a great reader, “especially mysteries,” said Beverly, “and all the nurses at St. John’s Hospital, where he had chemo for two-and-a-half years, remember him filling out the New York Times crossword puzzle’in ink.” Said family friend Lloyd Ahern, “Dave was a great guy’the sweetest, most authentic person you could know.” In addition to his wife of 36 years, Dave leaves a sister, Jane Gardner (husband Gene) of Redwood Valley, in Northern California. A reception to celebrate his life will be held in the Highlands on July 30 from 3-5 p.m. Contributions in his name can be made to SPCA-LA at 5026 W. Jefferson Blvd., Los Angeles 90016.

Henry Norris, 84; Early Palisadian

Henry Norris, beloved husband of Robin, passed away peacefully at home on July 6 after a courageous battle with Parkinson’s disease. He was 84. Hank, as he was known to his family and friends, was born in Hollywood on April 3, 1922. He grew up in Pacific Palisades, where his parents owned Norris Hardware, which is still operated today by family members. While a student at Hollywood High, Hank became an Eagle Scout. He continued his education in mechanical engineering at UCLA while working at Northrop Aircraft Corp. from 1942-44. He then enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served his country during World War II, working as a draftsman. After his tour of duty, Hank returned to UCLA, where he earned his B.A. degree in mechanical engineering and had the honor of being a member of the first graduating class in that field of study at UCLA in 1949. Prior to graduation, Hank married Robin Wear, whom he had met while they both served in the Navy. Robin and Hank eventually made their home with their three boys in Sunland, where they lived for 30 years. Hank was active at Shadow Hills Presbyterian Church and in the Boys Scouts of America. He broadened his career experience by working for Librascope as a computer specialist for about nine years after college. Then, in 1962, he began his 25-year career with Jet Propulsion Laboratory, working in the NASA unmanned space exploration program. Before retiring as deputy assistant laboratory director in 1987 he earned many honors, one being the NASA Distinguished Service Medal in 1976 for his work as project manager of the (Mars) Viking Project orbiter. After his retirement, Hank and Robin moved to Camarillo, where they made their home for the past 19 years. With this move, they became members of Camarillo United Methodist Church and enjoyed being closer to their sons and grandchildren. Hank is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Robin; sons and daughters-in-law, Gary and Debbie Norris of Camarillo, Gordon and Louise Norris of Saugus and Bob and Pat Norris of Ojai; grandchildren, Tiffany Brooke, Sabrina, Jonathan, Cameron, Katie and Brenna; a brother, Benjamin Norris of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and numerous nieces and nephews. The family would like to express thanks to the many caregivers with Comfort Keepers and Buena Vista Hospice. A service was held on July 10 at Ivy Lawn Memorial Park in Ventura. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in Henry’s memory be made to Camarillo Hospice, 400 Rosewood Avenue, Suite 102, Camarillo, CA 93010.

Russ Peterson, 90; Revere Teacher

Russell Vernon Peterson, a long-time resident of Pacific Palisades, died July 5 in Palm Desert of complications from cancer at the age of 90. Born September 8, 1915 in Grady, Minnesota, Peterson was a captain in the U.S. Army from 1942-46. Ten years later, he was one of the first faculty members at Paul Revere Junior High, where he was a teacher and counselor for 35 years. He and fellow teacher Ray Normandin formed Teen Tours and for many summers took Palisades youth on educational bus trips throughout the United States. Peterson was the eighth president of the Palisades Optimist Club and remained a member for over 45 years. When he moved to Palm Desert, he and Vic Olsen, a former Palisades resident and also a past president of the Palisades Optimist Club, formed a new Optimist Club in Palm Desert. Peterson was preceded in death by his former wife, Jeannine Peterson, who passed away in 1994. He is survived by his wife Lee Peterson, whom he married in 1995, and his sister, Melphi Allen of Apple Valley. A funeral mass was celebrated July 12 at Sacred Heart Church in Palm Desert, with burial at Desert Memorial Cemetery in Cathedral City. Donations can be made to the Optimist Youth Fund in Palm Desert.

Sylvia Maibaum, Teacher

Sylvia Maibaum, a resident of Pacific Palisades for 54 years, passed away peacefully at her home on July 12, two days shy of her 96th birthday. Sylvia is survived by sons Matthew and Paul, daughter-in-law Julie Starr Dresner (Paul’s wife), and granddaughter Shanna Claire Maibaum (Julie and Paul’s daughter), all Pacific Palisades residents. She was the widow of screenwriter Richard Maibaum, who wrote the screenplays for, among many other films, 13 James Bond movies. Sylvia and Richard moved to the Palisades in 1952 to raise their two sons in what was then and still is one of the best communities in the Los Angeles area. Sylvia taught in the Los Angeles Unified School District for over 25 years, teaching first and second grades and then becoming a “Teaching Teacher” for students at UCLA who were student-teaching before receiving their final credentials. She taught at Walgrove Avenue School, Brentwood Elementary and Bellagio Road Elementary. An accomplished pianist, Sylvia also spoke fluent French and was active in the Barnard College Alumnae Association, having graduated from Barnard in 1931. Sylvia loved Pacific Palisades and made a point of frequenting the local businesses. Her favorite restaurant was Dante’s.
