Today, a few granite boulders and some short lengths of the original railroad track being used as parking lot barriers along the beach at Potrero Canyon, are the sole physical proof that the Long Wharf ever existed. The history of the Long Wharf encapsulates the big ideas, bold entrepreneurism and prodigious power of Collis Huntington, who at the turn of the century had parlayed his railroad holdings into domination of the mighty Southern Pacific network. In 1890, Huntington took over as president of the Southern Pacific, with complete control over the company. With big dreams of developing Santa Monica as the port of Los Angeles, he set about buying up land around Santa Monica Canyon and the vicinity to further his plan to build a deep harbor in Santa Monica bay. Despite competition from San Pedro, which as early as 1891 had been judged to be a better location for the harbor based on its protected position from prevailing winds and storms and an existing natural interior harbor, Huntington pressed ahead with his plans. He gained right-of-way from Bonifacio and Pascual Marquez for laying tracks across a strip of their property at Santa Monica Canyon, which his engineers selected as an ideal area from which to extend the Long Wharf. By 1892, tracks from downtown Los Angeles had been laid, and the Southern Pacific began building the Long Wharf, which was to extend out into the ocean to the 5-fathom line (water depth averaged 30-50 feet), some five-eighths of a mile from shore. The “business end” of the wharf, consisting of a coalbunker, depot and warehouse, extended 1,600 feet beyond the five-fathom line, making the entire structure some 4,720 feet long. The exact position of the outer end of the Long Wharf was pointed into the prevailing swells, so ships tied up there would be pointed into the incoming swells, to eliminate their rolling back and forth against the structure. The approach to the wharf began on the land, just below the cliff, and ran along the beach. Not far from the land end of the wharf, at the entrance of Potrero Canyon, a roundhouse with turntable, together with a coal bunker and a water tank, were erected. The greater part of the wharf carried two railroad tracks, but nearing the end, the number of tracks increased to seven for maximum safety in the handling of freight. By September of 1892, Los Angeles merchants were beginning to realize that Huntington was serious about his project, and thought it would have a major impact on the future commerce of the city. They arranged tours to the Long Wharf in order to impress and persuade people that the port of Los Angeles would be ideally located in Santa Monica, not San Pedro. But, at the end of that same year, a congressional board of engineers once again determined that San Pedro would be a better location for the deepwater harbor of Los Angeles, based on commercial and naval aspects of the area, topography and meteorological conditions. Huntington had no reason to worry. After all, he was a very wealthy and influential man who had managed to forestall the decision by Congress, and he continued full-steam ahead with construction. In July 1893, the last spike connecting the rails to the wharf was driven home, and by October the depot had been completed. People from all over the world came to view the Long Wharf; it was an exciting sightseeing attraction and visitors could walk the entire length of the wharf, spend hours watching sailing ships and steamers coming and going. From that year through the next, some 300 vessels arrived at Port Los Angeles’so dubbed by Huntington’carrying passengers as well as cargoes of coal, lumber, railroad ties and rails. The Pacific Coast Steamship Company announced that its large ships would no longer stop at San Pedro, but only at Port Los Angeles, and a considerable amount of business that had formerly moved in and out of San Pedro and Redondo was now moving through the new installation. Meanwhile the controversial port issue continued in the Senate. At the crucial moment in the dispute, when Rivers and Harbors Committee appropriations bills reached the Senate floor, Senator Stephen White (A Californian who served on the committee) prevailed upon his colleagues to approve entrusting the final decision to a third commission of engineers, the Walker Board. In 1897, that board gave the go-ahead to San Pedro, ending the prospects for the Santa Monica port forever. The Long Wharf stayed in business for some years thereafter, used mainly as a fishing pier around which an enclave for Japanese fishermen grew at Potrero. The wharf as a shipping port itself lost its momentum when Collis Huntington died in 1900 and E. H. Harriman took over Southern Pacific. With larger assets, including Union Pacific, Harriman was not enthusiastic about the Long Wharf, unimpressed by its poor profits and increasingly expensive maintenance. By 1908, the Southern Pacific was no longer traveling to Port Los Angeles, and leased the Long Wharf to the Los Angeles Pacific, an electric rail system. In the next couple of years, successive landslides just north of Santa Monica Canyon covered the trolley tracks in the vicinity, and eventually the company dismantled the depot building and coalbunker and the last 1,600 feet of the wharf. Ironically, the company that won the contract for the demolition was the same company that had built various piers and the wharfs in the area. Santa Monica was becoming more of a year-round resort and railroad tracks and warehouses were monopolizing precious land that could be used for amusement parks, bathhouses and pavilions on the beach. Today, an official state landmark plaque is the only reminder of what had once been the longest wooden pier in the world.

Bomb Threat Closes Sunset Monday
At approximately 10:30 on Monday morning, the First Federal Bank on Sunset Boulevard was evacuated following a bomb threat as part of an attempted bank robbery. An unknown suspect placed a note in the night deposit box stating that there was an explosive device somewhere within the bank. The note said that if a specific amount of money was not delivered to a designated location by a certain time, the suspect would detonate the explosives via remote control. The Los Angeles Police Department was called and set up a perimeter 100 yards around the bank and evacuated all businesses in the surrounding area, including Ralphs, Pharmaca, and Blockbuster. Sunset was blocked off between Swarthmore and Carey, and westbound traffic was diverted onto Chautauqua in an attempt to ease traffic congestion. The LAPD and FBI Bomb Squads responded, along with detectives from the Criminal Conspiracy Section, Robbery Homicide Division. At about 12:45 p.m., the units sent bomb-sniffing dogs into the bank. After an extensive search of the premises, no explosives were found. The police opened Sunset at about 1:30, and the bank was reopened for business shortly thereafter. The incident is currently being investigated by the FBI. Lieutenant Velez of the LAPD Robbery-Homicide Division said that the style of robbery was unusual and stated “I have not seen anything like this in the recent past.” Two other bomb scares occurred in the Los Angeles area within the space of a few hours. At roughly the same time as the First Federal threat, a suspicious backpack was reported and found in the 1200 block of Veteran Avenue just south of the Federal Building in Westwood. The bomb squad responded and took x-rays from a robot before neutralizing the situation. Also in Westwood, another suspicious backpack was found around 10900 on Wilshire Boulevard, causing another evacuation. In both cases, no explosives were found. The bomb threat at First Federal is the third incident to occur at the bank within the last year. On August 26 of last year, the bank was the victim of a takeover robbery involving three suspects. On May 26, a lone suspect robbed the bank. Noma Sazama, a visitor to the Palisades from North Dakota who was about to order lunch at Subway was evacuated when the police arrived. “It doesn’t surprise me,” Sazama said of the incident. “It’s always something out here in California.”
Page to Stage Performances Produce Intimate Moments
When Ivaylo Getov discovered that a girl actually was interested in his awkward, tentative trombone-playing self, “reams of adolescent issues were resolved because of that instrument,” he told a rapt audience at Pierson Playhouse Sunday night. One of nine storytellers, Getov chose to tell his personal roman ‘ clef through the voice of his trombone. Coached by writer Amy Friedman and producer Jim Pentecost, the teenagers presented their stories as the culmination of a two-week seminar, “From Page to Stage,” produced by Palisadian Diane Grant Feltham. Noting the resurgence of spoken word performance around the country, Friedman, who teaches writing at UCLA Extension, frequently attends spoken word performances around town and helps local storytellers hone their stories for the ear. “Spoken word is so intimate and creates a conversation among people like no other thing,” Friedman says. She and Pentecost collaborated on the seminar, inviting high school kids to participate in their trial run. Employing the same techniques she uses in her nonfiction essay writing classes, Friedman instructed the students to come to the first evening class completely open and empty. “A really big component to this, the most important thing, is that if you have a story you want to tell, do not speak it. No one gets to hear it for at least a week.” Friedman suggested that if the student tells the story first, the incentive to write it diminishes. In the first class, Friedman started with memory exercises to help the students turn off their brains and go into their guts’internal journaling, she calls it. Before they went to bed, they were instructed to write something, and again first thing in the morning. “By the end of the second night, everyone had a rough draft going, and by the end of the third night, and my intense editing, everyone got to hear their drafts,” Friedman said. “They were allowed to ask questions, but the writer was not allowed to answer them, only to use the questions in revising their stories. They were not allowed to discuss their piece with anybody, not even with their parents.” Over the weekend, the students revised their drafts, and when the students came back the following week, they were ready to work with Pentecost on stagecraft. Pentacost, who has a distinguished career as a producer, director and stage manager, helped them clarify their stories, pace them in terms of style and keep the length between eight and 15 minutes. “The kids like telling their own stories,” said Pentecost, who previously had not coached high school students in this performance technique. “I think this kind of teaching helps people make their pieces better and gives them confidence to tell a story and create their own special voice.” The stories were varied, some touching on romantic awakenings, others on fears and still others on friendships. Friedman and Pentecost varied the length and mood of the evening and separated each story with a scripted interlude. Shannon Noel and Angela Kurian, actresses who have worked with Friedman, introduced each piece which provided a neutral pause separating the intensity of the stories. At the close of the evening the actors were exhilarated. One boy said that he felt as if they all had participated in an intimate conversation. They had.

Partygoers Savor The Parade
Photo by Rich Schmitt, Staff Photographer
Shouts went up from the crowd, “Up there!” All eyes focused on the beautiful blue sky, and one by one, four skydivers in different colors floated down and made a perfect landing on Sunset near Swarthmore. ”Michael Owens, in his Palisades Fourth of July parade debut, landed with the American flag floating behind him. His three teammates’Carey Peck (yes, the son of Gregory Peck), Anne Helliwell and Tom Falzone (a ’79 Palisades High grad)’have started the parade for 13 years. They couldn’t stay around to chat, because they had to land at a parade in Rosemead at 3:30 before splitting up, with two members going to festivities in Redlands and two to Chino. ”After the skydivers landed, Sandra Beckwith and Louis Lebherz sang the national anthem in front of the VIP grandstand as the parade got under way over on Via de la Paz. Crowds of people sitting in chairs and on the curb, or simply standing, all lined the parade route. Bobby Kahn, who was born and raised in the Palisades, provided an inside piece of advice: “The key is getting your chair on the shady side.” ”Of course, a few lucky residents have the parade go by their front yards along Sunset and Toyopa. And they know how to throw a party. Sheryl Hallmark, who moved close to Fire Station 69 four years ago, has an elevated yard above Sunset. “Until I moved here, I was always in the category of having to set up chairs,” she said. “It’s great to be a little bit above the passing parade scenery.” ”Three policemen at one location on Sunset? What was the crime? It turns out there wasn’t a crime, but with savvy detective work they had found a party with gourmet food made by Sharon Shaw. She and her husband, Barry, volunteered as usual for PAPA People the morning of the parade, then managed to throw together a party for 40-50 people. The menu included tri-tip sandwiches, gravlax (salmon marinated in vodka, lemon, dill, salt and pepper for four days) and several luscious salads. ”Farther down the block, Karen Clark started a new tradition with her parade party this year. Her family staged ping-pong and foosball competitions before the parade started, which seemed like a good way to keep the children entertained, but Karen clarified, laughing, “The kids were fighting to get the tables from the adults, who were so competitive, it got ugly.” I briefly joined the Patriotic Pups brigade, where Denise DeSantis reported there had been some drama among the pooches. A dead squirrel, lying on the road, had been surveyed and snatched as a prize by a large black dog. The owner squeamishly tugged at the squirrel, trying to get it out of the dog’s mouth. The dog won and proceeded to devour the road kill. All the dog-walkers, totally grossed out, said in unison, “Ooohh.” ”Along Toyopa, Jim Buerge explained that 30 fried chickens, six tri-tips, two racks of lamb, and three kegs of beer helped nourish the 350-400 people who stopped by. Jim and his wife, Colleen, were born and raised in the Palisades, and their families’ presence here goes back to the 1930s. After sending out about a 100 invites, they kept running into people around town and started inviting them as well, and before they knew it, they had a yard full of people that spilled over into their neighbor’s yard. Buerge said he may put up grandstands next year. It looks like hard work, especially since they have three small children, ages 7, 5, and 2, but Jim said, “It’s always fun; it’s the best time of the year.” ”An entire yard on Toyopa was filled with the Misty Isle Pipe Band. Bagpiper Gary Shaw, a beer in one hand and his pipes in the other, told me that one of the players knew the owner. It’s an annual event for the band. “We always come by after we’re done marching,” Shaw said. “In exchange for a few beers, we play a few tunes.” ”Last year, 8-year-old Andrew Slate shouted at his mom Susan, “You wrecked my Fourth of July!” She explained on Monday that last year their house on Toyopa was under construction and for the first time in 11 years, they didn’t have their party. Andrew looked much happier this year, seated with friends on the curb and blowing a red horn. Susan gives all the adults little flags to wave and all the children get party bags. Guests were making ice cream sundaes with chocolate syrup, sprinkles, and whipped cream, when suddenly the Impulse Drum and Bugle Corps from Santa Ana crowded the curb in front of the house. Some of the members hopped the lawn and started playing for the partygoers. When the band went back into formation and marched down the street, the guests wanted to know how Susan managed to get them to perform specially for them. ”She laughed because she had no idea why they decided to stop. But her husband, Dan, summed up the Fourth of July for partygoers, parade watchers, and Palisadians in general, when he said, “It’s wonderful. It’s tons of fun!”
Lidia M. Kuhn, 90; Engineer, Adventurer, 53-Year Resident
Lidia Manson Kuhn, a vibrant woman who had lived in Pacific Palisades since 1952, died in her sleep early March 20. She was 90. Lidia was an accomplished, independent and lively woman: a physicist and engineer, she spoke four languages, spent vacations in the mountains skiing or backpacking, earned a Ph.D. in physics, and raised four children. She had a complex life, in which she overcame a number of griefs and challenges with intelligence, dignity and generosity toward others. Lidia and her brother Numa were born in 1915 and 1914, respectively, in Odessa, Russia, to Piotr and Marie Manson. Although the Mansons were Leninist-Socialists, as members of the Russian-Jewish intelligentsia their lives became difficult during the Stalinist era. They escaped Russia in 1925 when Lidia was 10. After four years in a progressive boarding school in Germany, Lidia joined her parents in Paris, where she completed her university studies. The advent of the Nazis forced a series of moves that ultimately led Lidia to chaperone a large group of Jewish war orphans on a boat to the United States. Lidia’s parents were killed before she could arrange their immigration to the States. On her own in a new country, Lidia became the first woman at Penn State to earn a master’s degree in engineering. In 1946, she met and married John Kuhn, and in 1950 they moved from Buffalo, New York, to Los Angeles, where they raised their four children, all of whom graduated from Palisades High: Marie in 1964, Irene in 1966, Charles in 1970 and Peter in 1971. In her career as a heat-transfer specialist, Lidia worked on the Apollo missions, on rocket engine and fin design, as well as on a number of energy-related projects. Lidia lost her husband, her brother, several close friends, and finally her oldest daughter, Marie, to cancer. These were heavy griefs that Lidia met with strength. In retirement, Lidia taught reading and gardening to inner-city children, attended French and Russian literature courses, volunteered as a docent at the L.A. Museum of Space and Technology, skied and hiked well into her 70s, rarely missed her yoga classes or theater dates with friends, gardened at home, and relished the lives of her six grandchildren: Jonathan, Tyler, Maddy, Max, Rylie, and Riley. Until near the end of her life, one could always count on having an interesting and lively conversation with Lidia. “We are grateful for our mother’s love and care, for her strength and joy in life,” said her surviving children Irene, Charles and Peter Kuhn, who all live in the San Francisco Bay area. Donations in Lidia’s memory would be welcomed by Doctors Without Borders (Medicins sans Fronti’res).
Steve Bell, 66; Opera Buff, Television Pioneer at KTLA
Steve Bell, a television pioneer who changed the way local morning news was presented in Los Angeles, died of a heart attack in his Pacific Palisades home on June 30. He was 66. Bell was perhaps best known as the senior vice president and general manager of KTLA-TV who spurred the launching of KTLA’s brash local morning news programming. Born in Boston, Bell attended Harvard University for both his undergraduate and graduate degrees in English literature. He first became interested in broadcasting when he and his brother Alan were living in New York City. He became general manager of WLVI-TV in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and in 1981 took the same position at KTLA, where he helped to build the station into a ratings giant by delving into new approaches such as simultaneous Spanish-language audio broadcasts on the news programs and broadcasting movie classics with the films’ stars as hosts. In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Bell said of his station’s innovative style, “when others zig, we zag.” For example, he told another interviewer, “we ran hour action-adventure shows at 6 p.m. when the indie competition ran sitcoms. The affiliates ran their nightly news at 11 p.m., so we ran ours at 10 p.m.” Bell built the “KTLA Morning News” team, many of whom are still on the air, including co-anchor Carlos Amezcua, entertainment reporter Sam Rubin and weatherman Mark Kriski. The show was unusually casual, with news team members joking around on air with each other, a style which proved popular with viewers. But the news group took the news seriously and was acclaimed for their coverage of the O.J. Simpson trial and the L.A. riots. In 1992, KTLA Morning News won the prestigious Peabody Award for the station’s coverage of the Rodney King beating. Bell said winning the Peabody was one of his proudest moments. When he left KTLA in 1992, the station was the most successful independent station in the Los Angeles market in most time slots. After leaving the station, Bell joined 20th Century Fox, where he ran Network Television Production and founded Foxstar Productions, which produces shows for TV. He then worked for Tele-Communications Inc., where he supervised 12 channels for the Starz/Encore Media Group. After retiring in 2000, Bell taught courses at UCLA Extension and lectured on the history of opera for the L.A. Opera, the Los Angeles Opera League and the Wagner Society of Southern California. In addition to his brother Alan, who is chief executive of Freedom Communications (publisher of the Orange County Register), Bell is survived by his wife of 35 years, Bernice; son David, a graduate of Northwestern University, and daughter Elizabeth, a senior at Vassar. Services were held July 1. Contributions in Bell’s name can be made to Inner-City Arts L. A., 720 Kohler St., Los Angeles 90021, or L.A. Opera Education and Community Program, 135 N. Grand Ave., Los Angeles 90012.
28TH WILL ROGERS 5/10K
Visitors Sweep July 4 Races
Photo by Rich Schmitt, Staff Photographer
Something about the Palisades-Will Rogers race often brings out the best in those who wake up early to run it. Maybe it’s the cool morning air. Maybe it’s the patriotic feeling synonymous with America’s birthday. Or perhaps it’s the hordes of people lining neighborhood streets to cheer participants on. Whatever “it” is certainly worked for Eric Emilsson. The 23-year-old from Malmo, Sweden, won the 5K race on his first try on Monday and could hardly contain his excitement. “I love Pacific Palisades–it’s the bomb!” he said, shortly after completing the 3.1-mile course in 15:06. Emilsson is a fifth-year senior on the UCLA track team and signed up for the race at the advice of Bruins distance coach Eric Peterson. “He recommended we stay sharp over the summer by running some races so that’s why I’m here,” said Emilsson, whose favorite event is steeplechase. “I guess, now I have a reason to come back.” Emilsson’s UCLA teammate Martell Munguia was second in 15:48 and Scott Abbott finished third in 16:01. The real surprise in the men’s 5K was the absence of hometown favorite Peter Gilmore, who had won the race seven times in the previous 10 years and set the course record of 14:10 in 2003. Gilmore, who now lives in San Mateo, is in the midst of rigorous training for the World Track and Field Championships in Helsinki, Finland, where he will represent the United States in the marathon. Although no Palisadians won the race, several were first in their age groups, including 12-year-old Evan Shaner, 18-year-old Ryan Gordon, 67-year-old Brian Fernee, 71-year-old Bob Gold and 76-year-old Ted Mackie, who crossed the finish line in 29:22. Local kickboxing champion Baxter Humby, just back from Japan where he won a title fight, was second in the 30-34 division in 19:02. The women’s 5K was won by Therese Fricke in 18:39, a Pilates instructor from Santa Monica who has many clients from the Palisades. “I spend a lot of time here so I know the Palisades very well,” said Fricke, who admitted she didn’t register for the race until the night before. “I didn’t really have any intention of winning, I just wanted to start off the Fourth of July the right way. I ran the 10K three years ago but I wasn’t ready to conquer the switchbacks today.” Finishing second in 19:58 was Palisadian Ali Riley, a senior-to-be at Harvard-Westlake, where she is a standout soccer player. Riley won her age group the previous two years and hopes to be the overall winner someday. “I was actually thinking about running the 10K this time but I started going a little too fast the first mile and decided I’d better not try it,” Riley said. “What I love most about this race is that everyone knows your name. It’s like the whole town comes out to root for you and it’s great to hear that support.” Palisadians Camille Chapus (21:41) and Kendall Gustafson (23:10) were first and second, respectively, in the 1-12 age group while Victoria Chapus (21:40), Carol Gordon (22:03) and Kiki Lantry swept the top three spots in the 40-44 division. Local runners Mary Elizabeth Horan (23:56), Bonnie Triezenberg (26:03) and Leslie Wilson (26:49) were 1-2-3 in the 45-49 division while fellow Palisadian Ann Rice won the 50-54 division, Penny Perez was first in the 60-64 division and Atsuko Fujimoto paced the 70-74 division. Michelle Mahanian, who just graduated from Palisades High, ran the 5K with her younger sister, Nicole, both of whom competed on the Dolphins’ track team this spring. “It’s one last thing to do before I move on to UCLA,” the older sibling said. “I did the 5K last year, too. It’s fun to see all of my teachers out there.” Inspired by a stirring rendition of the Star Spangled Banner sung by Palisadian Louis Lebherz, and sent on their way by official race starter Lu Parker of Channel 5 news, runners had the option of turning back at the midway point of the race or continuing on to Will Rogers State Park for the 10K. A trio of Nike Team runners swept the top three places in the men’s 10K, led by 27-year-old Kevin Koeper of Arcadia, who completed the grueling 6.2 miles in 31:54. Luis Ibarra was second in 33:02 and Devin Elizondo was third in 33:32. “This is a pretty challenging course because of the steep hills,” Ibarra said. “But this was Kevin’s first time and he didn’t know anything about it.” Defending champion Brad Becken was the first Palisadian to finish, placing 12th overall in 35:44. The 25-year-old Huntington Palisades resident ran a personal-best 32:51 to win last year’s race, but admitted he was suffering from “cubicle syndrome” and had not fully recovered from running the Los Angeles Marathon in March. “That was my first marathon and it took a lot out of me, so I didn’t think I could repeat here,” Becken said. “I was just hoping I might beat my time.” Palisadian Ethan Meyers won the 16-18 division in 36:12, 73-year-old Andrew Martin won his age group in 52:54 and 76-year-old Ralph Wilcox won his division. clocking 1:25:57. As odd as it was for race announcer Bob Benton to proclaim over the loudspeaker that someone other than Gilmore was the men’s 5K winner, it was also out of the ordinary that Palisades’ other hometown favorite, Kara Barnard, was not announced as a winner. Barnard had won eight straight Will Rogers races’five 5Ks and three 10Ks (including a personal-best 35:24 in 2004) but decided not to run this year, leaving the door open for Lucy Fitzgerald to win her second 10K in 39:33. “I know Kara is really fast so I figured she was either way out in front of me or she’s not here,” said the 33-year-old from Santa Monica, who also won the 10K in 2003 when she finished in 38:12. “This time I waited until the third mile to take the lead. I tried to take it easy for the first mile because I know the second half of the race is more difficult and I wanted to conserve energy.” The fastest local finisher was 31-year-old Jennifer Levi in 44:51. Mary Beth Marrone took first place in the 13-15 age division in 47:17, Kirsten Jacob was runner-up in the 12-and-under division in 51:29, Catherine Coleman was second in the 50-54 division in 48:44, KC Kanoff was third in the 13-15 division with a time of 1:01:57 and Laurel Beyer was third in the 60-64 division in 58:52.
Record Turnout for Youth Triathlon
Biking three miles, running a mile and swimming 150 yards at top speed at the Y pool is not something most youths would choose to do on a holiday morning when they have the opportunity to sleep late. Yet on July 4, that’s just what a group of kids did, biking the streets of Huntington Palisades (the same route used by runners in the Palisades-Will Rogers 5K race), then running from the library to Temescal Gateway Park and finishing with six laps in the YMCA pool. Jose Lopez’s record time of 23 minutes and 28 seconds fell this year to Jared Brown’s time of 21:22. In near-perfect weather conditions, the top five 2005 finishers, Brown, Matthew Thorson, Willy MacMiller, Nicholas Edel, and Starr Hathaway all biked, ran and swam to a faster time than the one set by Lopez in 2003. The first triathlon was held three years ago with 50 participants. This year at the third annual event, there were 162’three times as many. Palisadian Deborah Hafford, founder and director of the USA Youth Triathlon, was amazed at the number of race day sign-ups. In fact, Hafford was worried there wouldn’t be enough t-shirts for all the kids registering. Palisadians Jared Brown, 14, and Natalie Farnham, 13, were the overall male and female winners. “I usually do adult triathlons, so this is a lot easier, ” Brown said. “I pushed myself to the edge, so I still got tired.” Farnham has competed in each of the first three triathlons. She won this year’s event in 24:59, beating two-time winner Courtney Knapp (25:46), who set the girls’ record of 23:30 last year. “It it wasn’t as tough this year as last year because last year I didn’t really train,” Farnham said. “This year I went all out.” Cherie Gruenfeld, a five-time Ironman world champion, once again awoke at 4:30 a.m. to pick up members of the Cypress Exceeding Expectations Triathlon Club from their homes in San Bernardino, twenty of whom were participating for the third straight year. Eighteen members of the club ran the 10K and the other two ran the 5K before even tackling the youth triathlon. For Gruenfeld, the club and its children are a labor of love. “I started this club three and a half years ago to give them a positive direction and an opportunity to see another side of life,” Gruenfeld said, “Last year one of my members graduated from high school. He was the first in his family to accomplish that.” On the morning of the race, Gruenfeld ran into a slight problem because no one answered the door at one of the homes. “The kids don’t have alarm clocks,” Gruenfeld said. “You could tell the parents had been partying because they weren’t answering the door and the front yard was littered with empty bottles.” A cousin of one of the kids crawled through a bedroom window and woke their teammates up, and the awakened club members willingly accompanied Gruenfeld to the Palisades. This past year Hafford contacted Ninth Street Elementary’s after-school supervisor, Jose Betancourt, to see if he was interested in a triathlon training program for students. He said he was, but that “None of the kids have a bike of their own, and many have never been in a pool before.” Undaunted, Hafford put out a plea to readers of the Palisadian-Post. Their generosity supplied 21 bikes for the kids from East L.A. She solicited donations from the Amateur Athletic Foundation, who supplied helmets. The Palisades Optimists Club provided the majority of the money needed to underwrite the Youth Triathlon. In addition, Hafford used some of the money donated to buy swimsuits and goggles for the kids. Every Saturday in June, Hafford’s husband, Doug, drove a van with her to the school, picked up the interested kids and brought them back to the Palisades, where the donated bikes were brought out of storage. The first task for many of the children was learning to ride a bike. The second task was teaching kids how to swim in four sessions. Hafford wasn’t expecting to see many of the Ninth Street students at the last Saturday training session because they had been given a free trip to Six Flags Magic Mountain that same day. She was gratified when 16 of the 20 students chose to attend the pre-race tuneup over an afternoon at an amusement park. “It’s rewarding to see kids so excited and grateful,” Hafford said, “It’s so refreshing. No one complained about the bike or helmet; they were just thrilled to have them.” Even Veronica Romos, 8, the last person to finish the race, was happy. Romos hadn’t quite mastered bike riding by race day, so she rode the course on training wheels. In addition, she still hadn’t perfected a swimming stroke, so she used a kick board to help her navigate the 150 yards in the pool and wound up finishing in 51 minutes. Prizes were given to the top three finishers in each of the four divisions. In addition, every entrant in the triathlon received a t-shirt as well as a goody bag donated by Gatorade that included a Gatorade towel and bottle and sunscreen. In 2003, as a five-year-old, Joe Walker was given the best sportsmanship award. This year, he took first place in the 8 & under division in 31:41. Nicholas McConnell finished second, and Daniel Halper was third. In the female division, Rachel Martin was first in 31:22, followed by Courtney Corrin and Aracely Juarez. In a blistering race,10-year-old Nicholas Edel came in fourth overall with a time of 22:24, which won him the 9 & 10 year-old division. Second was Alex MacMiller and third was Kurtis Rossi. In the girls division, nine-year-old Kjahna O won in 26:53, Sarah Thorson was second and Kennedy Corrin third. Cody O’Connell, 11, took first place in the male 11&12 division, placing sixth overall in a time of 24:26. Second was Kyle Nadel, who finished seventh overall, and Shane MacMiller was third. Mara Silka was the top female in that age category, completing the three phases in 25:38. Her closest competitor, Carolyn Windler, who had just completed the 5K as a warm-up to the triathlon, was 21 seconds ahead of third place finisher Olivia Kirkpatrick. The boy’s 13-15 category was closely contested, with mere seconds separating the top three competitors. Brown was first in 21:22, Thorson second (21:27) and MacMiller third (21:57). A special award for best effort and most dedicated went to the Ninth Street Elementary School kids. The donated bikes used for training were given to their riders so that they can start training for next year’s triathlon.
