Brett Doherty As a Palisades resident for 53 years, an alumni and the son in law of the former LAUSD official, I am appalled that anyone is charged for the cost of bussing. This is shameful … Who is willing to help make a difference for these families??!

Kedra Anderson Local citizens will not defend anything like this or any other related matter until it DIRECTLY effects them. Imagine being followed around the grocery store or being treated unfairly in the local village. This issue is much more deeply rooted than many would like to admit and has been going on for years

Eyvette Diane Pascascio Am not surprise they know what their doing.This was exactly what I was talking about with my last comment.This is why my kid takes 2 buses and a train to school every day . She has to be out the house super early in the morning because a single mom like me can’t afford it. They make supper high so we can’t afford it but thanks god she only has one more year .

he result was a loss but no one on the Palisades High boys lacrosse team was hanging his head after last Tuesday’s season-ending 12-6 Tloss at Chaminade. The Dolphins’ program rose to new heights in its third year under head coach Kevin Donovan, winning its third straight City championship and cracking the top 10 in the LA County rankings while playing its toughest schedule ever. “I thought we’d be seeded a couple spots higher but overall I’m happy,” Donovan said of the Dolphins’ being seeded 13th out of 16-teams. “We lost to them 15-7 the first time we played them way back at the start of the year. We won the second half today, so I’m proud of the effort.” Macchio Rissone had two goals and one assist and Jack O’Rourke also scored twice for the Dolphins (11-9), who trailed 7-1 at halftime. After a runner-up finish in the City Section tournament, Palisades’ girls squad also qualified for the US Lacrosse LA postseason, but lost at third-seeded Westlake 14-2 in the opening round.

eslie Jamison, born in Washington, D.C., and raised in the Upper Alphabets, has bared her soul Lthrough her books. “Personal narrative is difficult for a number of reasons,” Jamison told the Palisadian-Post. “You are sharing some part of your life with the world, and it’s often emotionally loaded and charged. “I believe in writing with specificity and granu- larity, and I very much believe in writing about difficult feelings, so that means I am often recounting incidents that are fraught and hard: fights, drinking in secret, infidelity, times I disappointed myself and others.” Since the Palisades, she’s lived in Iowa, Nica- ragua, New Haven and Brooklyn. She’s worked as a baker, an office temp, an innkeeper, a tutor and a medical actor. Jamison attended Harvard College, where she majored in English. She then attended the Iowa Writ- ers’ Workshop, earning an MFA in fiction, and Yale, The author Photos courtesy of Leslie Jamison where she earned a Ph.D. in English literature.

pring is often considered by many to be the hottest time of Syear to sell a home. Weather gen- erally starts to improve and families get ready to make their move during the summer months while school is out of session. Though it is a good time of year to list a home, there are still steps to take to better position a home to sell faster in this hot market. The Palisadian-Post spoke to two real estate agents to get their tricks of the trade to help prevent a listing from becoming stale. Shawn Donohoe of Keller Williams in Brentwood suggested painting the front door of a home in a standout color, such as navy or red.
