By MATTHEW MEYER Reporter

California state health agency joined the debate surrounding the widely used herbicide Roundup Athis summer, adding a key ingredient for the spray, glyphosate, to their list of chemicals “known to cause cancer.” LA City landscapers stopped using Roundup in Pacific Palisades last year, when neighbors expressed concerns about the spray’s use in the bluffs Getting (Mentally) Ready to Retire below Via de las Olas and El Medio, as well as along both sides of lower Temescal Canyon Park.

fter lining up opposite their teammates for four weeks, Palisades High football players are excited that they will get to block and tackle opponents wearing different colored jerseys in a preseason Ascrimmage against El Camino Real at 5 p.m. tomorrow in Woodland Hills. Both teams won their league and made the City Section Division I playoffs last fall. Palisades beat Venice to force a three-way tie atop the Western League, earned the No. 6 seed and fell in the quarterfinals to third-seeded San Pedro. The West Valley champion Conquistadores were seeded fifth and lost to eventu- al-champion Narbonne in the semifinals. Friday’s 30-play scrimmage, however, holds no postseason implications. It is merely an opportunity for both teams to run plays at full speed and with full contact to prepare for the long season ahead. Each team will be given three series of 10 downs, starting at the 40-yard line. If a team scores or if there is a turnover, the ball is returned to the 40 and the offensive team continues its series until it runs out of downs. There are no kickoffs or punts. The junior varsity and varsity scrimmages will be played at the same time on opposite halves of the field. It is one final tuneup for the Dolphins, who are coming off their winningest season in two decades. “I’m very excited for the scrimmage,” said senior linebacker Noah Karp, who had 90 tackles and two in- terceptions in 12 varsity games last fall. “It’s a chance for everyone to get experience in a real-game situation and to solidify some positions. We’re getting better everyday, we’re bonding. It takes awhile for new guys to get the concepts and plays. On defense we’re incorporating more coverages and blitzes.” Junior varsity head coach Ray Marsden is not so much concerned with the result, rather getting a look at his freshmen who have never played a down at the high school level. “We’re going to go over specific plays and specific situations,” Marsden said. “This is the time to try Matthew Perrine hits from the ninth fairway Monday in the first round of the U.S. Amateur Championship at Riviera Country things out. We have some questions we need answered.” Club. The 21-year-old from Austin, Texas fired a 2-over par 72. The 36-hole final round is Sunday.
