Allison Randall, a Brentwood resident since her birth on March 24, 1980, passed away on October 6 after a brave battle against cancer. She was 25. Allison graduated magna cum laude from Marymount High School in 1998 where she played varsity volleyball. She earned a B.S. degree in business administration from UC Berkeley in 2002, and graduated from the law school at Pepperdine University in May, despite her illness the last year. Always active in life, Allison held a variety of jobs while attending school, and was scheduled to join a prestigious Los Angeles law firm after graduation. She was also an avid traveler, and journeyed to Costa Rica, Great Britain, Canada and Mexico. Allison valued every moment of her life. She was active in National Charity League, a Las Madrinas debutante, and a member of Delta Delta Delta. Her vibrant personality and passion for life touched everyone around her. She made lasting friends often and everywhere, most recently the oncology staff at UCLA and her beloved boyfriend, Brian Dee. Allison is survived by her mother, Mary; her father, Broox; her sister Devon, 21, who attends UC Berkeley; and her grandmother, Margaret Dahl. Mary Randall is a real estate broker for Prudential/John Aaroe in Pacific Palisades and a 1970 graduate of PaliHi. Allison’s father graduated from PaliHi in 1965. Her late grandfather, Dr. Philip Dahl, was a local dentist. A memorial reception for Allison will be held at the Bel-Air Bay Club in the Palisades this Saturday, October 15, from 1 to 4 p.m.

‘4 Paws for a Cure’ Walk on Sunday

By

By DIVYA SUBRAHMANYAM Palisadian-Post Intern ” The fourth “4 Paws for a Cure” walk will be held this Sunday, October 9, at 10 a.m. along Temescal Canyon Road. All proceeds will benefit CureSearch, The National Childhood Cancer Foundation. ”Event registration begins at 9 a.m. and is open to all walkers, for $25, with or without a dog. Participants will gather in the playground area of Temescal Canyon Park, just north of PCH on the East side of Temescal. ”A dog agility demonstration will begin at 9:15, and contests with prizes and free treats for all dogs entered will follow at about 9:30. People can also register on the Web at www.pawswalk.org for $20, and receive pledges for their efforts. ”The two-mile hike, along the sidewalk from PCH to Sunset and back, was started by Palisades residents Steve Gordon and Jaime Wolffe in honor of their daughter, Carlye, who gained complete recovery from cancer diagnosed when she was four years old. She is now 13, and attends St. Matthew’s School. ”Gordon developed this walk as one of the many activities he consults for in his capacity as Senior Advisor for CureSearch, which is part of the National Childhood Cancer Foundation, based in Bethesda, Maryland. In 2004, the organization raised about 65 million dollars, and only 6 percent of the money goes to fundraising expenses, among the lowest of all cancer charities, according to Gordon. ”Once Executive Vice President of Creative Affairs at Viacom Productions, Gordon left the television business last September to pursue this track. In an interview Monday, Gordon told the Palisadian-Post that his “passion to help find a cure for childhood cancer had been a part of my life since Carlye recovered and, as time went on, I realized this was the cause that I wanted to devote my energy to.” ”He recently traveled to Washington, D.C., as he does four to six times a year, to lobby senators and congressmen (such as Henry Waxman, Diane Feinstein, and Barbara Boxer) for more federal funding to support the fight against childhood cancer. These petitions are also supported by Senator Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas, and Congresswoman Deborah Price of Ohio, who lost a daughter to cancer. ”During his visit, Gordon says, “I tell our legislators our story and the story of others less fortunate, and I tell them about the incredible collaborative research effort that CureSearch is undertaking in more than 240 member hospitals in North America.” ”In addition to special trips (such as this visit to the nation’s capital), Gordon plans fundraising and marketing activities for CureSearch in order to support important research projects. He visits CureSearch’s west coast headquarters in Arcadia, California, at least once a week. Also, since CureSearch is an official charity of both the National Hockey League (as well as Major League Baseball), Gordon hopes to attend a hockey game on a “CureSearch Night,” in an official role. ”The inspiration for “4 Paws for a Cure” was born when Carlye was fighting her cancer and received a rescued pound puppy named Lucky. A terrier mix, Lucky has since “provided a great deal of love and comfort to her,” according to Gordon, and Carlye agrees: “I thought everyone with cancer should have a dog, since I could understand what my dog Lucky did for me.” Carlye’s extracurricular activities include dance, soccer, and volleyball, and she participates in as many events as she can that support childhood cancer research, but especially in the upcoming dogwalk. ””4 Paws for a Cure is an amazing event,” she says. “I was a victim of cancer once and I know how it feels. It is very hard to know that you have something that could cause your life to end. I’m proud to be a part of [the walk], knowing that I’m giving others a hope that life will go on.” ”Carlye has an older sister, Evanne, age 15, who attends Palisades High School, and a younger brother Eli, 7, who attends Marquez Elementary. ””With the war in Iraq and, now, [Hurricane] Katrina, both Federal dollars and public donations are becoming harder and harder to obtain,” Gordon says. “That is why events such as ‘4 Paws’ are so important.” ” (Editor’s note: The author recently took part in an L.A. Times high school journalism competition with other members of the Tideline staff at Palisades High. She placed third in news writing.)

MTA Adds Third Bus at Paul Revere

By

In response to complaints from several citizens that Paul Revere Middle School students were riding in unsafe conditions due to overcrowding on city buses, I received an interesting assignment last Tuesday afternoon: take my notebook and ride the bus home from Revere. ”Three Metro buses line up in front of Revere, on Allenford Avenue, after school. Upon leaving the parking lot, one bus goes east on Sunset towards Brentwood while the other two head west on Sunset towards the Palisades. Now there are three westbound buses and, based on my personal experience, I am grateful. ”I arrived on campus shortly before the final bell. As school let out, a long line of students stood in front of the first “Palisades” bus. An assistant principal kept order as the bus filled to over capacity. I counted close to 80 students boarding. By the time the doors were closed, not only was every seat occupied but the aisles were jam-packed with standing children. ”I walked over to the second bus and got in line, then paid $1.25 for the one-way ride. Although parked in front of the school, these MTA buses welcome any paying passengers, including adults. They will also stop for passengers along Sunset. ”After boarding the bus I noticed that all of the seats were taken. Some of them had three or four kids squeezed together. As I pressed my way down the aisle, I stumbled over several large backpacks that had been placed on the floor, and bumped against others still attached to kids. I stopped counting passengers at 80 when I reached the rear of the bus, next to the exit door. I couldn’t find anything to hold on to. ”I noticed two kids standing on the steps by the rear door because of the crowded conditions. Although it was hard to make an accurate count of the people standing in the aisle because I couldn’t move, there were easily 30 within my obstructed view. ”It was also hot and extremely uncomfortable because the bus wasn’t running and there was no air circulating until some students managed to open several windows. Although I boarded the bus at 3:05, it didn’t pull away from the curb until 3:19. ”The bus had difficulty merging into traffic along Allenford due to double parking by carpooling parents and LAUSD buses. ”Once the bus turned onto Sunset, the breeze through the windows helped make the ride tolerable. But as we rounded corners, I started to worry about the students standing in the stairwell. If the door had suddenly flown open, they would have fallen into the street. ”At 3:23 the bus reached the corner of Sunset and Almalfi, at which point it stopped and the motor went off. The bus driver, a short young woman, stood up and shouted something. In the rear seats, we couldn’t hear what she was saying, but word filtered back that the bus was broken and we were supposed to get off. ”Outside, I asked the driver what happened. “I can’t start the bus,” she said. “I think it’s the transmission.” ”The students all milled around the corner of Almalfi and Sunset. Several pulled out cell phones and called for a parent or friend to come get them. Others ran across Sunset. Still others started walking on the north side of Sunset towards the Palisades. They hadn’t gotten very far before realizing there are no sidewalks along that side of the street’just a steep hillside right next to a sharp, blind curve. ”Cars going west on Sunset started piling up behind the bus, unable to get around it. Then a police car pulled up. Officer Ward stepped out and talked with the bus driver. As he started to get back in his car, I asked him what he was going to do. “Nothing I can do,” he said. “The driver is getting another bus and a tow.” He drove off. ”Before long, cars began arriving from the Palisades, making the left turn onto Almalfi. Each driver took as many kids as safely possible. ”At 3:45, another bus regularly assigned to this route stopped to pick up the 30 or so students left. I got on the bus with them. ””I take this bus every day and it’s already had two problems this year,” student Lache Pelle said. Eighth-grader Jonathon Dobson, who also rides it every day, added: “Friday’s the worst. That’s usually the day it’s the most crowded.” ”I contacted the MTA the next day, September 28, to inquire about the situation. ” “On a regular bus, no one should be standing beyond the yellow limit lines,” said David Armijo, general manager for the Westside Central Service Factor. “Buses should also have a working intercom system.” ””Now that I’m aware of the problem,” he continued, “I’ll take a look at all the options.” ”Two days later, on Friday, Armijo had a third westbound bus added at Revere. He said that since school had just started, MTA had kept everything the same as it had been last year. This year, service demand and ridership were suddenly higher (though the school’s enrollment is down by nearly 100 students). “It seemed prudent to add another bus,” Armijo said. “Whether it will be become permanent, we will have to monitor.” ”Armijo also said he would communicate to the school that a third bus had been added so that students will know it exists and not try to squeeze into one of the first two buses. ”Yesterday morning, I contacted Ken Haker, assistant principal in charge of transportation at Paul Revere, about the additional bus. “I’m happy there’s a third bus coming,” he said. “But I haven’t been informed of it yet.”

‘Armed Old Man’ Robs Local Bank

First Federal Bank of California, located at Sunset and PCH, was robbed last Thursday when a lone suspect, known as the “Armed Old Man” bandit, entered the building at about 3:30 p.m. with a handgun. ”The suspect, described as a white male with sandy blonde hair, 6 ft. tall, 180 lbs., and 50-60 years of age, demanded currency from the victim teller and “everyone complied with his order,” according to FBI Detective Daniel Jaranillo. The amount of money stolen was not revealed. ”A police report stated that one shot was fired after a dye pack exploded while the bandit was still inside the bank. The shot did not hit anyone. (A dye pack, which is used by banks as an anti-robbery device, explodes within the stolen money and renders it worthless.) ”According to FBI spokesperson Laura Eimiller, the bandit fired a round from his 45-caliber semi-automatic handgun. “We’re very concerned that the violence has the potential to escalate further,” Eimiller said. ”The “Armed Old Man” bandit has been connected to four prior bank robberies this year: Bank of the West in Sherman Oaks (March 17), Manufacturer’s Bank in Encino (May 13), Bank of Orange County in Glendale (August 17), and Washington Mutual in Pacific Palisades (August 22). ”At Washington Mutual, the bandit entered the bank with a handgun at about 5:35 p.m. He “victimized multiple tellers and asked for large bills,” Eimiller told the Palisadian-Post at the time. He also threatened to detonate what appeared to be an explosive device in the shape of a pipe bomb. The employees were evacuated, the area was sealed off for public safety, and the LAPD bomb squad responded with a remote-controlled robot used to handle and move suspicious devices. The device was subsequently detonated with a secondary device in a protected zone, said Officer Chris Ragsdale, who was on the scene. He said he believed the bandit’s device was not a charged device.

Merz Runs First Marathon Palisadian Caroline Merz ran her first marathon last Sunday in Sacramento, finishing the 26.2-mile course in 4 hours, 6 minutes and 14 seconds. The Sacramento Cowtown Marathon has been held every year since 1977 and is a Boston Marathon qualifying course. Running in the female 16-18 age category, Merz finished first in her age group and 107th overall out of 350 runners. Merz, a junior at Harvard-Westlake High in North Hollywood, had been training all summer in Spain for a school program and got mile pledges for a modern-day anti-slavery international non-profit organization. Merz, 16, is also a nationally-ranked fencer. Grigsby Earns MVP Honors Palisadian Channing Grigsby had 23 assists, two kills and an ace and was named most valuable player of the 22nd annual Brentwood Classic, leading the host Eagles to a 25-15, 25-14 sweep of Lancaster Paraclete in the championship match last Saturday. Teammates Chelsea Ellis and Paris Coleman also made the All-Tournament team. Brentwood (13-3), ranked seventh in the CIF Southern Section Division IV-AA coaches’ poll, did not lose a game in the tournament, defeated Chadwick, Connelly, Paraclete and St. Margaret’s in pool play before beating Chadwick and Paraclete again in the elimination round. Ogilvie Stands out for Trinity Palisadian Erin Ogilvie, a junior libero for the women’s volleyball team at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, leads the Bantams in digs per game with 3.57. Ogilvie had a team-high 251 digs last season. Ogilvie won back-to-back state titles at Marymount High under coach Cari Klein.

Williams Inspired by Klitschko Win

David Williams sat six rows from ringside for the Wladimir Klitschko-Samuel Peter heavyweight elimination fight last Saturday night in Atlantic City and he confesses he was living and dying with every punch. Williams served as Klitschko’s roommate and cook during the boxer’s six-week training camp in the Poconos, so he had a hard time watching Klitschko suffer three knock downs. However, the Ukrainian fighter got up off the canvas each time and went on to win a 12-round unanimous decision–the biggest win of his career so far. “I have to admit I was a nervous wreck during the fight” said Williams, who flew home to the Palisades the following day to tend to his restaurant, Mogan’s Cafe in the Highlands, and report to Palisades High as coach of the boys’ varsity soccer team. “If there’s one thing I learned from him [Klitschko], it’s that you can do anything if you put your mind to it. He is the most self-motivated person I’ve ever met. He’s taught me that you can never be satisfied–you can always achieve more.” In addition to being the camp’s designated chaffeur in New York City for the pre-fight press conference, Williams also served as an interpreter of sorts, though he said Klitschko speaks very good English. “He was always asking me how to say certain things,” Williams said. “He wanted to know what words to use and the context in which to use them. I became part of his inner circle and he’s not just someone I worked for. He’s become a real friend.” Williams said his biggest shock came not during the fight but half an hour after, when Klitschko, sitting with hands swollen, invited Williams into the locker room, winked, and said “We did it!” Indeed, conditioning and diet is what had won Klitschko the fight. “You couldn’t peel me off the ceiling, I was so high,” Williams said. “He was including me in his accomplishment and that was a great feeling. His work ethic has really rubbed off on me and I’m going to take that same attitude to my business and to coaching.” Klitschko is in negotiations with Chris Byrd and Lamon Brewster for a fight in Germany in December. If that happens, he has already told Williams he wants him back in training camp. Until then, Williams is content to spend time with his family and get away from the humidity of the East Coast. “I’m officially part of his team now and my family is totally supportive of me doing this,” Williams said. “It was a great opportunity and I’m happy for Wladimir. He’s got his confidence back and he’s excited about boxing again. Knowing how hard this guy trains, there’s no doubt in my mind he can win the heavyweight title.”

All week, players on the Palisades High football team practiced hard to achieve one goal: getting even. Coming off their first victory, the Dolphins were trying to avoid a similar fate as last year when they committed four turnovers in a 20-10 loss at Monroe–the first of seven straight defeats to end the season. Well into the fourth quarter of a defensive struggle last Friday night at Stadium by the Sea it appeared history was about to repeat itself. But Palisades’ offense woke up just in time to mount a six-play, 65-yard scoring drive with 8:54 left and the Dolphins’ defense stopped Monroe’s final drive at midfield to escape with a 10-6 victory. Junior Raymond Elie scored the go-ahead touchdown on a quarterback sneak and Esteban Moreno’s extra-point kick gave the Dolphins their first lead since midway through the second quarter. The Vikings (0-4) responded by driving from their own 13-yard line to Palisades’ 41 before the Dolphins’ defense stiffened. After a run wide for no gain and an incomplete pass, Pali defensive end Deonte Baker sacked Monroe quarterback Donald Senegal for a loss at the Vikings’ 49-yard line. Then, on fourth down, Pali defensive back Ryan Henry broke up a pass intended for Diego Gutierrez and the Dolphins (2-2) took over on downs with 3:20 remaining. Monroe never got the ball back. On third and 7, Marquise Coleman plowed up the middle for eight yards and a first down. Two plays later, Robert Gillett gained five yards around left end and Coleman gained five yards on third and four to give the Dolphins a second first down which allowed Elie to kneel down twice and run out the clock. Palisades took a 3-0 lead on its first possession when Esteban Moreno booted a 42-yard field goal. Monroe drove 78 yards in 12 plays and took the lead on a five-yard run by Travis Foster. Henry blocked the point-after kick after which neither team mustered much offense until the fourth quarter. The Vikings missed a chance to widen their lead late in the third quarter when a snap over Moreno’s head on a punt attempt gave Monroe the ball at Palisades’ 15-yard line. However, Christian Clark sacked Senegal twice in four plays and the Dolphins took over on downs. The hardfought victory was important because it gave Pali a chance to enter Western League play with a winning record, provided the Dolphins can beat St. Monica, a small Southern Section school, Friday night at Stadium by the Sea. The Mariners (1-3) lost to Santa Monica, 48-6, last week.

Malibu Through Local’s Eyes

By

On a clear day, a drive north from Pacific Palisades on PCH reveals an array of wildlife, historic and architectural treasures expanding from the 27-mile strip that is Malibu. Marian Hall’s new book “Malibu: California’s Most Famous Seaside Community” takes readers on an illuminating journey through the colorful and abundant enclave as locals know and love it. In addition to dramatic images by photographer Nick Rodionoff, the book includes sharp aerial photographs by Lou Bruhnke, which help situate readers in their exploration of the coastal and mountain areas. Hall, a longtime Malibuite, says she wrote the book to capture the peace, privacy and beauty of this seaside paradise. She was inspired by Frederick Hastings Rindge’s 1898 book “Happy Days in Southern California,” a book that she writes “came from his heart, describing with pure joy and love the Malibu that he knew so well.” Rindge was a businessman, the last private owner of the Malibu Rancho, more than 17,000 acres of coastal, mountain and canyon land with 22 miles of total ocean frontage. Romantic yet relevant quotations from Rindge’s book introduce each of Hall’s chapters. “I was surprised we could find a quote to fit even the most contemporary images,” says Hall, who grew up in Pasadena and moved to Malibu, just south of Paradise Cove on the ocean side, in 1973. A mother of four, she says, “we wanted to move to the beach and my husband worked on the west side of town.” Hall became one of the first docents at the Malibu Lagoon Museum, where she learned about the rich history that shaped Malibu. When it came time to research and write the history part of her book, Hall consulted with her historian friends Toni and Tom Doyle to make sure the facts were accurate. She also talked to Rindge ancestor Ronald L. Rindge, who’d written a book on the U.S. Coast Guard beach patrol in Malibu, realty historian Louis Busch, and Ernest Marquez, with whom she worked to get most of the vintage photos. In the process of gathering information and collecting images, Hall learned some things she didn’t know. For example, she says she was particularly moved by the mystique of Boney Ridge, located in the Arroyo Sequit area at the north end of the Santa Monica Mountains. Boney Ridge was created by an ancient lava flow, and Rindge called it “divine.” “You can see it in all different kinds of light and it’s so beautiful,” Hall says. She believes her book, published by Angel City Press in Santa Monica, will stand out on the racks among other Malibu books because it combines legend, lore and history with contemporary culture. A chapter on surfing covers the real Gidget, Kathy Kohner Zuckerman (a Palisadian), as well as contemporary wave rider Laird Hamilton, and the many crossover board sports popular today. But Hall says her editor cut out a lot of the celebrity photos with her blessing, since those images “would have made a difference in the feel of the book.” Instead, both the text and photos capture Rindge’s perspective much more than the glamorized Hollywood angle on Malibu. Hall herself is a former model who has been active for 50 years in the California fashion scene. She started modeling at Bullocks Wilshire and worked as a designer/manufacturer for 18 years before becoming curator of the Costume Museum at The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. She is especially interested in vintage couture and volunteers at The Colleagues Gallery in Bergamot Station in Santa Monica. In 2002, Hall collaborated with Sylvia Sheppard and Marjorie Carne on the coffee table book, “California Fashion.” When it came to choosing a title for her “Malibu” book, she suggested that the subtitle define Malibu as a community rather than a city because, she says, “it’s a city, but it’s not. I think community is more of what Malibu really is.” Hall will discuss and sign her book tomorrow, October 7, at 7:30 p.m. at Village Books, 1049 Swarthmore.
