fter being kept off the scoreboard in its season opener at Culver City, the Palisades High softball team sought to Ascore some runs in its home opener last Friday against Vista. The Dolphins did just that, hitting three home runs and scoring 10 times, but it wasn’t enough in a 14-10 loss to the Panthers from the San Diego Section. Outfielder Ella Edwards had a huge day at the plate. In her first at-bat she ripped an RBI double over the third base bag. The next time up she smacked a two-run homer to give the Dolphins a 6-3 lead in the third inning. She added an in- field single in the sixth and a three-run homer in the seventh. Fellow sophomore Peyton Pollard belted a a two-run homer to give the Dolphins their first lead, 4-3, in the third inning. Third baseman Heaven Alvarez, yet another sophomore, hit an RBI single in the sixth to cut Palisades’ deficit to 14-7. “We always start slow... especially this year with all the rain and no field to practice on,” Pali High Coach Tori Dario said. “Defensively it’s been rough. We’re a new group with Owls center Chasen Long is fouled at the top of the key by Fighting Irish defender Derek Douglas during a boys three transfers, so we need to build team chemistry.” Bantam Division basketball playoff game last Saturday in the small gym at the Palisades Recreation Center.

Dear Vany Junior Reporter Vanessa “Vany” Masterson answers some Palisadian-Post readers’ questions.

Dear Vany, Dear Vany,

I really want a dog. How can I convince Should you invite everyone in your class to your party or just my parents to get me one? the people you feel close to?

Thank you, Anonymous Anonymous

Dear Anonymous,

Let me put it this way: If you have a summer birthday, then you can invite only Dear Anonymous, a couple of people from your class and a couple of people from a different class— basically anyone you want. To get a dog, this is what I think you Now, if you have a school year birthday, then you can: should do: Option 1: Invite everyone in your class. You will have a lot of people at your 1. Do things around the house. If your b-day party, but at least no one’s feelings will get hurt. mom or dad asks you to do something, never moan or whine about it. Option 2: Invite everyone that is your gender in your class, or invite everyone Just do it, and when you are done with in the opposite gender of your class. This way, if all the girls are talking and all the the task, ask them “anything else?” boys are talking and someone brings it up, you can avoid someone being mad at you. 2. DON’T BEG. This is one of the big- gest ones. If you lay on your knees Option 3: Only invite the people you feel close to. This may be risking some- and start crying for a dog, then you’ll one being mad or sad, but you may have a better party. I asked my brother about never get one. It would be much bet- this because he has a school year birthday, and he says inviting everyone in your ter to ask them a couple of times. class is something you do not have to do, but you are taking a risk.

3. After you have completed steps 1 In conclusion, I think age matters. If you are under the middle of third grade, and 2, you should find a weekend then people are more sensitive about parties. If not, invite anyone you want! I hope when you have no plans, and ask you will be able to decide on who to invite to your party!! your mom or dad, “Can we go to the pet shelter?” Then you and your par- Thanks, ents will be more familiar with dogs.
