Heard ANN CLEAVES About Town Hurricane Pali I read that Pali became the earliest hur- ricane on record in the central Pacific Ocean, forming on January 11, 2016 and dissipating as a tropical system three days later. In addition to being a rare January hurricane, Pali also took a peculiar track close to the equator. I always knew Pacific Palisades was a stormy place. Upside-Down Values If you saw a cat or a dog living on the sidewalks of Pacific Palisades, you’d try to get it in a home or at least call authorities to come and take care of it, so it would have food and wouldn’t get hit by a car. Isn’t funny we don’t treat humans with the same regard as animals? We allow people to live on the sidewalks because courts de- cided this is more humane than finding a place inside for them. This is upside-down common sense and just plain criminal.

If you feel like trying to see what television dance contestants go through or simply want to see how easy it is to learn new steps, come to line dancing at the Pali sades Recreation Center on Tuesday or Thursday from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Line dancing often conjures up the image of a country-western dance bar, where the two-step or western promenade dance is performed. Instead, it is a choreographed dance in which groups of people dance in one or more rows without regard for the gender of individuals. Joy Park, who has been teach- ing the class for seven years, makes it look incredibly easy to waltz, mambo, tango, samba and cha cha cha. “After I retired, I needed exercise,” said Park, who had worked at Wells Fargo Bank for 25 years in different departments. As a youth she had taken ballet and Ko- rean traditional dance, but when she took her first line dancing class at Culver City Senior Center 10 years ago, she was hooked. Park explained that line dancing is great Line dancing is taught at the large gym at the Palisades Recreation Center every Tuesday and Thursday.

Murphy Ranch Is Closed The graffiti-covered ruins at historic Murphy Ranch in upper Rustic Canyon are being removed. According to Palisades Patrol, the City of L.A. contracted with a company to go into Rustic Canyon, south of Camp Josepho, to clear out the remaining metal structures, demo the existing cement water tank and secure any holes, bunkers or other dangerous man-made structures on the 50-acre property. The work began in mid-January. The buildings were constructed in the 1930s, purportedly by a group of Nazi sympathizers. The area, which received many hikers, has been featured in blogs in other countries as a site to visit in Pacific Palisades. Located in a tree-filled canyon and at the base of concrete steps, Murphy Ranch has attracted groups of people whose after-hour activities have been an annoyance to those who live north of Sunset in the Riviera section of the Palisades. Palisades Patrol told the News that rang ers are present, “No Trespassing” signs are posted and those entering the site are This wall at Murphy Ranch will remain, but hopefully the graffiti will be removed in this L.A.

I“I studied dance from the time I was five to 30,” the longtime Palisadian said, adding that it was the pre-MTV era and there weren’t many ways to make a living as a dancer. The lifelong artist and photographer hails from the small town of Osceola, Arkansas, the offspring of a free-spirited mother who frequently moved McCord and her two sib- lings whenever she had a creative urge. The family moved 13 times during her child- hood, including stints in Little Rock, Mem- phis, Atlanta and Cape Cod. Her father, Lindsey J. Fairley, who comes from a family of doctors and lawyers, took a more traditional path, becoming a dis- trict attorney and judge. But it was the creativity of her mother, Photographer Lisa McCord.
