he Huntington Palisades is one of the most exclusive areas in the country, Tbut until last week the houses along the rim overlooking Pacific Coast Highway were under constant fire threat because of homeless cooking fires and discarded cigarettes. Two major fires, attributed to tran- sients, have been stopped just short of residents’ homes in the past few years. The threat was diminished the first week in June when the Huntington Palisades Property Owners Corp. (HHPOC) took steps to clean up the area. This included: 1.) working with Senior Lead Officer Michael Moore to enforce the no-trespassing law on private property, 2.) hiring a brush clearance vendor to meet LAFD standards, 3.) getting trespass authorization forms signed by each homeowner, and 4.) hauling away all the leftover belongings and trash. This transient has used concrete to make a multi-level living area that includes a sleeping area and a barbeque pit.

Heard ANN CLEAVES About Town Silly String Is Serious Every year, kids set off silly string along the parade route. What they and their parents don’t realize is how dangerous it is. It causes horses to slip on the pavement, and when the elderly don’t see it and catch their feet on it, they can take a nasty spill. Please don’t buy silly string and if you do, please don’t use it along the parade route. Potrero Canyon Access More residential lots will be auctioned off along De Pauw Street on the northern rim of Potrero Canyon. I hope those of us who don’t have houses along the rim will have access to this future park, down to the beach, without having to enter via the Recreation Center.

On a nearly perfect evening, 683 seniors graduated from Palisades High School on June 4. According to College Center Coun- selor Helene Kunkel, 95 percent of the students will attend college in 34 states and two foreign countries. After the traditional “Pomp and Circum- stance,” played by the school’s orchestra, the Pledge of Allegiance was led by student body president Benjamin Safvati, who will attend UC Berkeley. The National Anthem was sung by senior Chandlor Jenkins, who plans to attend San Jose State, and Mecca Coleman. Senior class president Lily Henson gave the welcoming address. “Thank you to our family, friends and teachers for believing in us,” said Henson, who acknowledged that Palisades High School graduating classes celebrates at the end of the ceremony. as happy as the class will be to move on to always start ‘Good Morning Palisades.’” the next part of their lives, “In truth, we Executive Director and Principal Dr. Pam will miss morning announcements that Magee first addressed the parents, saying “We have been proud to be your partners the past four years.” To the teachers at the ceremony she said, “We salute them and their efforts each and every day.” She concluded by congratulating the class for their hard work. Traditionally, a multi-lingual welcome is given at PaliHi commencements, and this year 17 students welcomed guests. (There are 20 languages spoken by students at the high school.) Those speaking included Zena Abulfeilat (Arabic-Syria); Kia Kolahi (Dari) will attend UCLA; Cyrus Dastur (Vietnamese) will go to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo; Nina Masjedi (Farsi) will go to UC Santa Barbara; Luiz de Arajuo (Portguese); Ana Tanaka (Japanese) plans to attend Stanford; Catherine Lee (Ko- Chandler Shutt and Riley Siegel are all smiles as they line up before graduation. rean); Jiaze Li (Mandarin Chinese) will go (French) plans to attend UCLA; Ashely Photography teacher Rick Steil with to Georgetown University; Laura Sussman Aguilar (Spanish); Mariamme Ibrahim graduation speaker Marcellus Cole.

In addition to the valedictorian address, students auditioned for the honor of speaking at graduation. Those selected included Annie Loy, Marcellus Cole and Maya Muldrew. Loy, who will attend Humboldt State, admitted, “There were days that we did not want to come to school because of difficul- ties.
