By JARED HAMM Intern

n Saturday, August 10, Pali- sades Branch Library will host a OSaturday Movie Matinee showing of British drama “Ladies in Lavender.” This 2004 movie, set in the cozy coastal Cornwall fishing village in 1936, follows the story of the Wid- dington sisters, Ursula (Judi Dench) and Janet (Maggie Smith). The two sisters discover a gifted young Pol- ish violinist washed up on the beach below their house after he was tossed from his ship that was sailing to America. After being saved Andrea falls in love with a Russian woman named Olga (Natascha McElhone), who also happens to be the key to his career as a violinist. This sparks a suspicion from the untrusting and jealous villagers causing problems to steal Olga from Andrea. The movie, based on a story of the same name by William J. Locke, was directed by Charles Dance and produced by Nicolas Brown and Elizabeth Karlsen. The film has been rated 64% on Rotten Tomatoes and is rated PG-13. The matinee screening will begin at 1 p.m.

Seeks to Break Palisades By MICHELE BARNUM Real Estate Record Special to the Palisadian-Post

s of July 1, new home-sharing regulations are in place for Athe city of Los Angeles and Pa- cific Palisades, changing the way hosts from Airbnb and other rental platforms can book vacation stays and short-term rentals. The new rules, which were passed in December 2018 after three years of deliberation by the City Council, are the city’s first attempt to regulate LA’s short-term rentals. There is much controver- sy about the regulations; some ad- vocates claim they are taking affordable units off the market and worsening the housing crisis while others say they are helping the housing crisis by creating more permanent options.
