The “carefully curated” marketplace will feature local artisans and artists, offering “one-of-a-kind” items, according to a statement. The sale will feature “beautiful housewares;” gold, silver, and handmade jewelry; mixed-media art; clothes and handbags; and linens, baskets, and candles.
“It’s time to kick off the holiday season in style,” the statement read. “Join us … for an unforgettable shopping experience at our Holiday Gift Bazaar Fundraiser. Whether you’re looking for unique gifts, handcrafted treasures or delicious holiday treats, this event has it all and more.”

The Pacific Palisades Recreation Center Park Advisory Board met on Thursday evening, October 17, to discuss a number of items on an agenda, including a restroom renovation project, the status of the playground update, and a new project designed to bring more shade and seating to the area.
In recent years, PAB has requested two updates at Palisades Recreation Center from city of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks: ADA-compliant restrooms at the small gym and an updated playground.
During a meeting on October 3, Rec & Parks approved a proposed restroom renovation project, including a commitment of funds to complete it. The scope of the work includes demolishing the existing restrooms, reconfiguring the interior spaces to accommodate new stalls and all-gender accessible restrooms, and install new plumbing chase, all new plumbing fixtures and lines, along with new sewer piping, according to the report.
Rec & Parks staff have been authorized to commit “a maximum of $883,187.23” in Park Fees for the proposed project—prompting a discussion by PAB on where funding for the playground would come from with this amount now committed to the restroom.
During a previous PAB meeting in July 2023, it was discussed that the Rec & Parks superintendent recommended using Quimby funds for both the restroom and playground projects, while Measure A funds would be used for the Pacific Palisades Dog Park project.
PAB Member Rick McGeagh noted that a previous estimate for the restroom project was $550,000—a number that he thought then was too high.
“This needs to be brought to [Councilmember] Traci [Park’s] attention,” McGeagh said.
Earlier this summer, Pacific Palisades Community Council collaborated with PAB to seek input from the neighborhood regarding three options for the redesign of the playground. An ocean/meadow theme, forest theme and desert theme were proposed by Rec & Parks and Council District 11 for the “revamp and upgrade of the Palisades Recreation Center,” read information shared by PPCC.
“The PAB, in conjunction with the outreach efforts of PPCC, has solicited community input for the suggested playground design schemes and has observed a community preference for the first choice of playground schematics, with the blue and green color theme,” read the final motion supported by PAB in July.
At the October 17 meeting, CD 11 Field Deputy for Pacific Palisades Michael Amster said there were “no updates at this moment” regarding the playground, that the office has the information collected by PPCC from the community on record.
In response to the playground discussion, members of the public provided additional input on preferences for the space, including the inclusion of sand (whether throughout or in a sandbox), as it was beneficial for the socialization of toddlers who are learning to share toys.
Palisadian Cindy Simon presented during the meeting about a potential project to bring additional shade and seating to the playground area in the meantime, citing a “serious health and safety” issue of leaving caregivers in the sun while kids use the park. Previous tree removals have left the area even more exposed, she added.
Simon said she reached out to a Rec & Parks vendor to get a cost estimate for bringing three tables with seating and umbrellas to the area, which came in at $10,400 for the materials, delivery and installation.
Two of the tables would be 46” across with four seats. One would have three seats, with a space open for ADA seating.
Simon received support from PAB to move forward with fundraising for the project to bring it to fruition. Once funds are secured, it was estimated to take eight to 10 weeks for arrival.
“I think everyone agrees it’s a great idea,” Simon said.

The Palisadian-Post has partnered with locally founded environmental organization Resilient Palisades to deliver a “green tip” to our readers in each newspaper. This edition’s tip was written by Lisa Kaas Boyle, an environmental attorney, co-founder of Plastic Pollution Coalition and member of the Resilient Palisades Zero Waste team.
As Halloween approaches, it’s timely to ask if you have vampires in your home. Not the kind that could win you a prize in the Palisadian-Post’s Creep Your Crypt contest. Resilient Palisades is alerting you to very real “Energy Vampires” that are draining your electricity year-round.
There is a significant cost in energy consumption of a device left plugged in after it has been fully charged. The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory showed that almost all the electronics we use consume electricity even when off or idle, and even when fully charged.
A fully charged cell phone plugged into the wall is consuming about 2.24 watts, or 60% of the power it consumed while charging. A charged laptop that’s still plugged in consumes 29.48 watts, 66% of the 44.28 watts consumed while charging. If you left it plugged in all year, it would consume as much electricity as running your coffeemaker for 12 days straight.
A 2015 NRDC study showed that “idle load electricity”—computers in sleep mode, digital video recorders, even certain kinds of electrical outlets—account for 23% of power consumption in the average household and represent roughly one quarter of your electricity bill.
Energy Vampires don’t just cost you money: Did you know that three pounds of carbon emissions are emitted from the average two-person household on a daily basis for appliances that are turned off?
You don’t need garlic or a silver stake to defeat Energy Vampires. Here are some NRDC-recommended solutions, in addition to simply pulling the plug from the wall when you aren’t using a device:
Get a power strip. Speakers, TVs and other entertainment gadgets consume electricity when you’re not using them. Plug them into a power strip, and you can flip them all on or off in a split second.
Use timers. Plugging devices into timers will save you from having to remember to turn things on and off. This works particularly well with items you only use at specific times, like coffee makers or heated towel racks. Devices like computers have built-in timers that can power down the machine automatically. Use them aggressively.
Activate a few power-saving settings. On a new TV, select the “home” or “standard” mode when setting up the device. The “vivid” or “retail” options will make your TV overly bright and consume excess power.
On your computer, monitor or game console, disable the screensaver and turn on the auto power down option (if available). Also turn off the “quick start” or “instant-on” option. It’s nice that your TV or video game console can spring into action in a few seconds, but the energy grid pays dearly for that service.
Ditch your old set-top box and DVR. You can stream programming directly via an app on your smart TV or through a low power-consuming streaming device like Apple TV or Roku stick instead.
If you prefer to keep your set-top boxes and DVRs, call your cable, satellite or telephone company and ask to update your setup with new IP-based equipment, which is more up to date and environmentally friendly.
Buy a power meter or have your utility provider install a smart meter. Knowledge is power—or, in this case, saves power. These cheap and simple gadgets can tell you how much energy a device is using when sitting idle, which gives you the option of changing your behavior.
Alternatively, smart meters measure electricity consumption in small intervals and can tell you how much energy you’re using when everything appears to be turned off.
New Commander/CEO of American Legion Ronald Reagan – Palisades Post 283 Joe Ramirez wrote a message to the community when he began his position. It has been reprinted here with permission. More information, including a link to a six-minute introduction video by Ramirez, is available at alpost283.com.
I am extremely honored beyond words to serve as the commander of our post this year. First and foremost, I would like to thank outgoing Commander Jim Cragg, his wife Susie and daughter Charley for their time with us over the last four years.
Jim often spent countless hours at the post and at functions away from his family so that we could move forward into a new era—being one of the most influential posts in the country. Getting us through the pandemic and the renovation, Jim, with the help of our leaders and members, re-opened the post. Under his leadership, we moved aggressively in providing worthy events that included legionnaires, their families and the community.
Vision
Many of you have asked for my vision. As I thought and prayed, I realized we have only been re-opened for two years with several of our events and programs being new. However, most, if not all, of our programs and events were “homeruns” when it came to their success. Therefore, I would like to continue the momentum that Jim started with a vision statement of my own as follows:
“Building upon our legacy of excellence in service to veterans, their families and our community, Post 283 embraces media and technology to amplify our impact, foster connections, and engage the public through innovative programs and events.”
This means we will enhance our events and programs, and raise their awareness, our profile, the post and the legion through film content, social media, technology and distribution. More specific details will be released soon regarding this agenda.
Finally, I believe all our events and programs are special, but I would like to highlight a few on the agenda that are specifically pushing through previous barriers—The Women Veterans Forum, Legion Gaming and Chapel Sundays at 11:15 a.m.
Feel free to reach out to me anytime at a meeting or send me an email. Remember, if you have an idea, think of ways you can serve on the committee to make it happen. The only person who gets away with ideas alone is my father-in-law and legion member “Bucky” Schmidt.
People should say hello in the neighborhoods more. It’s easy to be nice to people.
Pumpkins
There is still time to grab a pumpkin at the YMCA patch before Halloween! Friendly reminder that this patch serves as a fundraiser for programming that the Y supports throughout the year in the Palisades.
Mural
I loved reading that the Temescal Mural is on its way to being restored. Even more special that the original artist is involved in the project. One thing that makes this town so special is its stewards, who still care enough to fix things up, even decades later.
Halloween
Not only do our neighbors have some of the best Halloween decorations around, we also have some of the best Halloween activities. There is no shortage of spooky events leading up to the big night.
Dogs
It is surprising to see off-leash dogs in the Palisades. I am hoping the dog park helps alleviate the frequency in public spaces, like our parks and streets.

Pacific Palisades-Based Nonprofit griefHaven is Celebrating its 20th Anniversary and Awards Ceremony
By SARAH SHMERLING | Editor-in-Chief
Out of darkness came so much light—in fact, 20 years of light, and counting.
Highlands resident Susan Whitmore created nonprofit griefHaven in 2003 after the death of her daughter Erika when she could not find the type of grief support she needed. The organization is now honoring 20 years of helping others through their own losses.
“It’s a journey—a lifelong journey,” Whitmore described. “You don’t ‘get over’ losing a loved one. You learn to live with it, and we help you do that.”
GriefHaven initially started as a center that provided support groups, individual counseling and a website with resources for those grieving the loss of a child, then expanded its mission to provide grief support and education for all losses.
“Join us in celebration our 20th year as you share and shop—making it possible for griefHaven to continue its unique and effective grief support and education for grieving parents, siblings, spouses, families and communities,” read information about the event.
The event will feature a performance by stand-up comedian and actress Caroline Rhea, who is well known for her role as Hilda Spellman in the series “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” as well as her comedy specials. She also voiced the mom on Disney’s series “Phineas and Ferb.”
This year, fellow Palisadian Jacqueline Jacobs Caster—founder and president of Everychild Foundation—will be the recipient of the Peace of Heart Award. The nonprofit operates with a mission to ease “the suffering of children in the Greater Los Angeles area, whether due to disease, disability, abuse, neglect or poverty.”
The program will also include honoring Palisadian Beth Abrams with the Heart-to-Heart Award for “her many years of supporting griefHaven’s mission and her lifelong commitment to providing loving service to organizations she’s passionate about.”
Founder and CEO Susan Whitmore
“The death of someone you hold dear is one of life’s most painful and stressful experiences, often taking a person to the darkest and most hopeless of places,” Whitmore wrote in a statement. “Extending a hand of support and service, which is what griefHaven so expertly does, is invaluable and always a necessity in all our communities.”
Over the past year, griefHaven has been able to provide more than $35,000 in scholarships for individuals who would not otherwise have been able to afford to attend grief support groups or receive private counseling by grief experts.
“As one group ends, another group begins, either in person or by Zoom,” Whitmore explained. “so that around the world people who are grieving can be in a group with others who have had the same loss.”
A griefHaven group is “more than a talk group,” according to Whitmore: “It’s an actual program that uses diverse tools and resources that have been shown to work for people who are grieving. This program starts off in meeting one and builds upon itself until, at the end of the program, each person not only leaves with specific tools and education about grief, but as a group or individual they have been guided and loved along the grief path.”
The griefHaven website also serves as a “loving and educational community,” with more than two million visits per year and thousands of requests for a “Packet of Hope,” which includes “wisdom and well-tested practices to cope with grief.”
“First responders, medical employees, therapists, businesses, individual facilities, such as the LGBTQ organization, and others also continue to benefit from griefHaven’s educational and trauma support resources,” Whitmore added.
Looking forward to 2025, Whitmore said griefHaven will “continue to be there for everyone who is deeply entrenched in the grieving process.” Donations will help train additional grief counselors in the griefHaven Method. With additional therapists and counselors trained, Whitmore explained, more groups can be formed to get people off of waitlists.
“You can also change the life of someone who has suffered a devastating loss by supporting our scholarship fund so that we may continue to offer grief support groups for all who need them, regardless of their ability to pay,” Whitmore said.
The Friends of griefHaven started with a core group of Palisadians, some of whom had also experienced loss in their lives. The group supports griefHaven’s mission and vision through financial contributions, hands-on assistance and yearly fundraising events.
This year’s event is sponsored by Joan and Rob Blackman, Ellie and Bruce Lederman, Linda and Bob Margolis, and Lauren and Austin Fite.
Part of the gala is an auction, with items opening for bidding on Monday, October 21. Anyone can make a bid, regardless if they are attending the gala.
GriefHaven has several ways to contribute: by purchasing a ticket to the gala, bidding on the auction, donating or purchasing a ticket that will go to someone who would not otherwise afford to attend.

The contest—which ran throughout summer before concluding in September—was open to students in first through 12th grade.
Attendees snacked on light refreshments provided by Friends of the Palisades Library, also known as Pacific Palisades Library Association, while winning tales with the theme “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to…” were read, once again, by actors Bill Jones and Christine Kludjian.
Jotters
PPLA Vice-President, Communications, Kathy Slattery welcomed everyone who attended in the community room at Palisades Branch Library, noting that each year, she appreciates all of the student writers who take the time to enter the contest. She also thanked the judges and librarians for their help coordinating.
Rena Repetti, PPLA vice-president, membership, extended an invitation to the community to join the Friends of the Palisades Library for as little as $25 per year. She explained that the library functions as a “hub” for the community, that with all of its programming and spaces, it is a “vibrant place.”
Before beginning to read the winning tales from the five age categories, Kludjian noted that she was “happy to be here,” joking with Jones that they had been doing this for “42 years,” before explaining that they really have been doing it for 10-plus years.
Scrawlers
“It’s really and truly a pleasure to be here,” Kludjian said.
The program began with the winners in the Scribblers group (grades one and two): Third place went to Roman McNitt for “The Missing Fruit Guy,” second place to Jack Kervin for “Taco Night Terror” and first place to Mark James “MJ” Brown for “The Hunt for the Diamond.”

Pali High Grad Joanne Levey Will Participate in the New York City Marathon, Raising Funds With OAR’s Run for Autism Team
By SARAH SHMERLING | Editor-in-Chief
Though she has never ran a marathon in her life, Palisades Charter High School graduate Joanne “Jojo” Levey is up for the challenge.
The Class of 2018 alum is now training for the 2024 New York City Marathon on Sunday, November 3—while raising funds for the Organization for Autism Research’s Run for Autism team.
In preparation for the marathon, Levey said she will have completed more than 25 weeks of training. Her previous athletic training includes growing up playing soccer competitively from the age of 5 to about 17 through club and school teams.
“When I went to college, I moved from Los Angeles to New York and went to NYU, graduated 2021,” Levey explained. “I tried to stay athletic in New York City, but it wasn’t more than core workouts in my room, the occasional gym membership that barely lasted a month and then running around the neighborhood.”
She said it is “nothing like LA,” since the city is all “concrete.” But last year, she had a coworker who ran the marathon, which inspired Levey to try to do it as well.
“I love giving myself really big challenges,” she explained. “It’s one of my favorite things to do.”
The training sessions started “very small,” Levey described, beginning with a one-mile run, then two miles, once or twice per week.
“About six months ago,” she said, “I decided to make this massive spreadsheet that basically was a 25-week plan of how I would run in preparation for the actual marathon.”
Levey said she feels “awesome,” that it has been “insane to watch” her body “transform back into being an actual athlete.”
In order to run in the New York City Marathon, participants either need to qualify at a previous race or be sponsored by a charity. A friend who had previously run in NYC with OAR’s team suggested Levey check it out.
Levey said she joined OAR’s Run for Autism NYC team—which includes 110 runners—because she has “personal experience with schooling and health care” for individuals with autism, beginning while she was attending Pali High.
“When I worked as a tutor for children with developmental disorders, I learned the importance of helping adolescents through proper encouragement and lesson plans geared to their understanding,” Levey wrote. “I also assisted my mother in California, who works as an aid for autistic adults. The relationships I built have changed me forever and helped me recognize how we all must become a better support system for the autistic community.”
Levey said she “developed such attachments to the children,” and she saw “how important it was” that each student received a good education. This prompted her to learn more and develop a tutoring plan geared toward each participant as individuals.
“It felt so rewarding to get their report cards back and see that they were progressing,” Levey said of tutoring with the specific plan, “and teachers making comments that they could see the kids were all doing better in school.”
“[The Organization for Autism Research] was founded 20-plus years ago by the loved ones of children with autism who now act as the Board of Directors,” Levey explained. “Alongside the board, educators, self-advocates, researchers and volunteers work toward OAR’s mission of bettering the quality of life for those with autism. This is done by improving educational resources, social interactions, family spheres, workplaces and other environments of everyday interaction for those with autism.”
OAR’s Run for Autism team—which is the main fundraising branch for the organization—takes part in several athletic events throughout the year, including the Pittsburgh Marathon, Big Sur Marathon, Chicago Marathon and Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon.
“While the program is called ‘Run’ for Autism, we invite you to take part in whatever athletic adventure you choose,” the website read. “Whether you are summiting a mountain, walking a local 5K or competing in a bike race, you can dedicate your miles to life-changing autism research.”
For the New York City Marathon, Levey has set a fundraising goal of $3,500—of which she had raised just over $2,700 at print time on Tuesday, October 22. She listed some of the ways OAR will use the funds raised through the team, including $10 for a “Curriculum in a Box” professional development set for general education teachers to $3,000, which provides a scholarship for a student with autism to attend college.
“Thank you so much for your support during this crucial period of my life, as both a participant in the NYC Marathon and advocate for OAR: Run for Autism,” Levey said. “Any amount you can donate is appreciated.”
