Just as it did in last year’s inaugural tournament, the Palisades High girls varsity basketball team finished in fourth place at last weekend’s Palisades Beach Invitational, held in the PaliHi gym. Playing for third place, the Dolphins fell just short, losing 45-43 to New Roads. Marymount used a strong second half to defeat defending champion Leuzinger, 53-48, and win the championship. The tournament adopted the same format as last year. The eight teams were divided into two pools of four. The winner of each pool met in the finals, the runner-up in each pool met in the third place game and so on down. Palisades (2-2) defeated South Bay Lutheran in its first game last Wednesday, getting 21 points from Megan Coulter, who made three three-point baskets. In the second round of pool play, the Dolphins defeated Locke. Coulter led the way with 20 points and Jaega Haralumbus added 19. With a chance to win its pool and advance to the championship game, Palisades faced Marymount on Friday night. The Sailors won, 51-44, as Coulter was limited to 15 points. Against New Roads on Saturday afternoon, the Dolphins got strong contributions from Coulter, Haralumbus and Silvia Cuellar, but the Jaguars avenged a 44-43 pool play loss to Pali in last year’s tournament. Palisades took a similar road to fourth place as it had a year ago, winning its first two games before losing its last two. Ami Harris of Marymount was the tournament scoring leader this time, averaging 22 points a game. St. Bernard defeated Locke, 45-42, to finish fifth and Campbell Hall beat South Bay Lutheran, 53-36, in the seventh place game. Coulter and Sophia Jackson of Locke each averaged 19 points in four tournament games and Ari Brown of Campbell Hall averaged 16. Rounding out Pali’s squad were Jasmine Ashley, Elane Roepke, Zedra Slaton, Lindsay Gross, Tawana Briggs, Tueheka Huntley, Gabrielle Tanedo, Sarah Fukui and Erin Graham. Last year, Palisades beat St. Bernard and New Roads before losing to Inglewood in the final round of pool play and losing to Santa Monica in the third place game. Head coach Ronda Crowley, who guided the Dolphins to an 11-13 record and third place in the Western League in her first season last year, has entered her team in the West Coast Jamboree in Antioch, California, December 28-30. The Dolphins’ junior varsity team, coached by Ronda’s brother, Sheldon, opens the season this week at the Artesia Tournament. Palisades played Washington on Wednesday (result unavailable at press time) and travels to Crenshaw for a nonleague game Friday at 4 p.m.

Dione Anita Riedel with her husband, Gordon.

Dione Anita Riedel, a wonderful, warm, funny and generous woman, died suddenly on Saturday, November 26. She was 75. Born on August 3, 1930, Dione lived in Santa Monica Canyon with her mother and stepfather, Beatrice and Roby Wentz. She met her husband, Gordon Riedel, as a graduate student at UC Berkeley. The couple married in 1955 and bought their first home in Pacific Palisades in 1960, where they lived happily ever since. Dione attended UCLA and then earned her master’s in social work at Berkeley. She worked at the VA Hospital, Bay Cities Mental Health Clinic and in private practice, maintaining contact with some of her patients until the end. For many years, Dione enjoyed playing golf twice a week with her friends at Riviera Country Club, and every Sunday she would play couples golf with her husband and their close “golf” friends. She loved playing in weekend golf tournaments all over the state. She also loved all animals, especially dogs. She bred basset hounds, had a few of her own and would take care of all the neighbors’ and family dogs anytime. She loved to spend quality time with her family, traveling to great locations with her husband and her sister and brother-in-law, and she had a love for babies. She would stop all new mothers so she could get a good glimpse of their newborns. Dione was generous with everyone, and would give to her family and almost every charity that contacted her. She was a wonderful, funny and kind woman. In addition to her husband Gordon, Dione is survived by her sons, Robert of Tennessee and Mike (wife Adrienne) of Redondo Beach; daughter Robin Warner (husband Scott) of Pacific Palisades; grandchildren Dylan and Kyle Warner and Chelsea Riedel; and her favorite lab, Jake. A private memorial is planned.

Glen F. Doel, a longtime Palisades resident, died on December 4 in Santa Monica, after a short illness. He was 85. Born on January 7, 1920 in Kilmur, Kansas, Doel graduated from Seaman High School in Topeka, and received his degree from Kansas State College in May 1943. After college, he was offered a job with Douglas Air Craft, where he met Marjorie L. McGuire. They were married on May 6, 1944 and enjoyed 55 years together, until her death in 2002. After Douglas Air Craft became McDonald Douglas, Doel worked for that firm as an aerospace engineer until his retirement. Glen and Marjorie enjoyed dancing together for many years. They were world travelers and in later years, after Marjorie’s death, he enjoyed lunching with lifelong friends, attending the theater, museums and films. He was preceded in death by his father Ray Doel, his mother Nancy, his infant son Glen in 1954, daughter Devy Gleneen in 1987, his wife, and his sisters Edith Bohon and Margaret Bol, both of Kansas.

Council Honors Eva and Dieter Holberg

December 1, 2005

When the Community Council board reviews worthy candidates for its Community Service Award, they look for people who have contributed over a long period of time to the Palisades community. This year, they have chosen Eva and Dieter Holberg, who between them have lent four sturdy legs to Theatre Palisades for decades. While the Council could have broadened its scope to include Eva’s prodigious efforts towards the Palisades Symphony and the Brentwood Palisades Chorale, they will honor the couple for their volunteer hours on stage and backstage at 7 p.m., Thursday, December 8 in the historic dining hall in Temescal Canyon. Eva’s volunteer gene developed early, while a child in Germany. “I started while I was in high school in Stralsund (on the Baltic Coast). The Russians had shot out the windows of the local church, and water had damaged the organ. The choir director organized the organ-building club, which I was a part of. We asked our parents, relatives, teachers to contribute a mark a month, or some such amount, for the repairs, and we went around the countryside concertizing on trains, on boats, in churches, everywhere we could.” She learned early on “the power in numbers,” she says, “even if the numbers have no money at all.” While Eva’s first love has always been voice, she actually got on stage playing Jenny in “The Three Penny Opera.” This was when the couple was living in New Mexico, and the choral director asked Eva if she would take over the role. “I had two little babies at the time, who were tucked in bed by 6, so I did the role.” The situation wasn’t quite the same when the Holbergs moved to Pacific Palisades in 1966, and their “babies” stayed up later, and Dieter did not come home at 5 o’clock for dinner. So that ended Eva’s stage career. It wasn’t until Eugene Romig (a former Theatre Palisades stalwart) asked Eva if she would like to do something for Theatre Palisades that she began a long association with the 40-plus-year organization. Ironically, at the time Eva was the cultural chairman on the Community Council. “I remember going to a Theatre Palisades meeting and said ‘You might as well know me, I represent you.” Little did she realize at that time, 25 years ago, that her volunteer job would take on big proportions when the Theatre decided to build a new building at its present location on the corner of Haverford and Temescal Canyon. As fund-raising chairperson, Eva proceeded with caution, collecting pledges at first, not cash. But the drive took on the seriousness of a campaign when Eva was able to purchase the adjacent parking lot, the building designs were complete and the permits had been granted. The ceremonial groundbreaking took place in June,1980. The new theater opened in 1988, but Eva’s work continued, as it does to this day. The busy schedule of Theatre Palisades includes five major productions a season with a run of 17 to 23 performances each, one show by children for children, and numerous other events, concerts and meetings. “We support the productions from earned income and are able to do so because it is a volunteer group,” Eva says. Always cautious and conscientious, Eva keeps an eye on the budget and stages a number of fundraising concerts throughout the year to keep the building fund flush. She and Dieter, with the help of a study corps of volunteers keep the operation going, and they still host the opening night champagne receptions for each production, and provide the intermission refreshments. Over the years, Eva, who recognizes that she is a “crazy volunteer,” refrained from involving her family in her commitments. “I never asked my children or husband to do the work I signed up for,” she says. “However, the year my husband retired from Hughes, the theater needed a treasurer who was computer savvy and a math brain. I told [board member] Cynthia Wright that I wouldn’t ask him, but she did. He got stuck, and caught the theater bug.” To hear Dieter tell it, he is not only the treasurer but also the chief maintenance guy. “I am in charge of lights, toilets, water taps, air conditioning, theater lights and sometimes spelling out the name of the current show on the marquee outside.” “I think we can thank Eva and Dieter for the excellent productions Theatre Palisades puts on every year,” says Ted Mackey, Community Council board member. “It’s amazingly good for a neighborhood theater, thanks to strong membership and grunt work.”

Rosendahl Speaks at PPRA Event

December 1, 2005

After City Councilman Bill Rosendahl gave a brief talk at the Pacific Palisades Residents Association annual meeting Tuesday night, he asked for questions and Jon Tower quickly raised his hand. “How can Pacific Palisades get a dog park?” Tower wanted to know. Rosendahl answered, “First, find several locations that make sense and then talk to the neighbors around these areas and get a sense of what they think. See if you get positive reaction. If you do, meet with the nearest homeowner associations’and then bring your proposal to the Community Council. Once you do that, and you get favorable response, I will listen to the proposal and try to work on your behalf. But first, I want to see that you’ve had a dialogue with neighbors and the Community Council.” The councilman said he has two German shepherds, Rosie and Lulu, who get a good run on his double-lot Mar Vista property. “I appreciate the value of dogs exercising and socializing with other dogs and owners socializing with one another, so my disposition is towards a dog park. But community comes first.” Sensing that dog owners in the audience will obviously have trouble finding a compromise location somewhere in the Palisades, Rosendahl tried to sound encouraging. “Don’t give up. If I can mediate, or help in some way, bring me in.” Community Council member Patti Post spoke up, telling Rosendahl “We’re continually dismayed at the inability or unwillingness of city bureaucrats to adequately perform their jobs and respond to citizens.” He answered, “That’s the hardest job I have’to get city departments to do what the people want them to do. One of the things I learned in my earlier life, when I worked with a general in the Army, is that you have to find a way to get close to the bureaucrats, let them know where you’re coming from, get their confidence, and get them to work with you.” Rosendahl said he was working hard on making these connections. In that vein, somebody asked him: “What don’t you like about your job?” Trying to cope with traffic, he replied. “When I used to drive to work [at Adelphia], my office was only five or 10 minutes away. Now I have three offices (in West L.A., in Westchester, and at City Hall) and when I go downtown I’m in gridlock, when I come home I’m in gridlock, and when I travel around the district I have to deal with traffic. I’m in constant gridlock.” He reiterated his campaign promise to work on regional solutions to the transportation nightmare, including his emphasis on expanding operations at Palmdale, Ontario, Burbank, Long Beach and Orange County airports to relieve pressure on LAX, and pushing for completion of the Metro light-rail system from downtown to Santa Monica “within 10 years.” True to nearly every community gathering attended by a City Councilperson or LAPD captain, Rosendahl was asked “How do we get the leafblower ordinance enforced?” This time the questioner was longtime activist Shirley Haggstrom. He answered, “When I talk to police officials, I hear the same answer you have heard for years, that because of budget constraints and not enough manpower and in the priority of issues the police must deal with, leafblower enforcement doesn’t get on their radar screen. I’m not happy with that answer, but right now I have to accept it.”‘
