Gezellig is Dutch for cozy and is mostly used to describe a comfortable and civilized office environment. It might also have applied to the Lower Bienveneda Block Party, one of the first of this season’s neighborly street gatherings and certainly one of the most welcoming among the California Sycamore trees.

OFFICIAL CONTEST RULES: Every week, the Palisadian-Post will have a selection of NFL and college football teams. Check the teams you predict will win each game. The person with the most correct picks wins. In the case of a tie, the tie-breaker score will be used. The player who 1) picks the winning team and 2) comes closest to the total number of points scored by both teams wins. If one or more participants pick the winner and the same number of points, whoever is closer to the winning team’s score wins the contest.

memorial service was held Sunday at Pacific Palisades Presbyterian AChurch for former Palisades High basketball coach Jerry Marvin and among those there were several members of his 1969 City championship team. Two of them, Chris Marlowe and Don Shaw, reflected on the impact Marvin had on their lives. “Jerry had a huge influence on my coaching philosophy,” said Shaw, who grew up on El Medio and became a successful volleyball at Stanford. “We were always ready for any situation. It didn’t matter what they threw at us.” Marlowe, a volleyball gold medalist at the 1984 Olympics and now the play-by-play announcer for the Denver Nuggets, called his mentor and friend “the best coach I ever played for.” Another eulogist was former NBA star Kiki Vandeweghe, who described Members of Palisades High’s 1969 City championship team (l-r) Chris Marlowe, Jay Hanseth, Doug King, Kris being dunked on by Marlowe during Jamtaas, Don Shaw along with Jack Waddill (far right) of the ‘71 team in the Dolphins’ gym.
