La Jolla’s oldest original harbors a colorful past A “ghost log” at The Grande Colonial Hotel reveals many haunting tales shared by hotel guests.

suppose if I were a ghost, I certainly wouldn’t mind spending eternity here,” said Leslie Araiza about the Grande Colonial Hotel, located at 910 Prospect St. “There’s nothing that speaks more highly of a hotel than a repeat guest.” The Grande is known for its repeat guests, said the hotel spokeswoman — living, breathing and otherwise. Throughout the hotel’s almost 100year existence, employees have been compiling not only a log its lively history, but tales of its ghostly hauntings as well. It’s a list that runs the gamut, from runof-the-mill accounts of doors slamming during the night to the more bone-chilling reports of children and couples from decades past seen roaming the halls. “I don’t think the majority of the stories we have collected over the years could be crafted by even the most cre-

I also think that if ghosts do indeed exist, then a hotel that has nearly 100 years of history would be a likely location for them to reside,” Araiza said. The Grande Colonial’s history dates back to 1913, when it was known as The Colonial Apartments and Hotel. By the 1920s, it had become such a solid enterprise in La Jolla that it was revitalized and redesigned under the direction of George Bane. The project was completed in 1928 and apartments were relocated to the back of the hotel, while the new Grande Colonial structure was erected front and center. Over the years following its debut, The Grande became the hip hangout for Hollywood’s biggest names, such as Groucho Marx, Charlton Heston and Gregory Peck, to name a few. When World War II broke out, The Grande took on a new war-time role by becoming a welcoming home to many SEE COLONIAL, Page 2
Tales from The Grande Colonial ‘ghost log’ • In 2005, a guest was staying in room 508 and having difficulty sleeping. She awoke precisely at 3 a.m. and noticed a presence in the room. She described it as a “heavy feeling” — a “curiosity,” as if she were being watched. She saw a soft glow in the room even though the lights were out and shades were drawn. She saw an image of a young woman with brown hair wearing a light lace dress. Since the incident, she had the name “Abigail” in her head. She also thinks she may have heard the name “Trent.” • Guests in the North Annex of the hotel sometimes complain of noises such as loud voices, doors slamming and heavy footsteps in the wee hours of the night coming from guests in the SEE TALES, Page 2
La Jollans lead contributions to Busby’s campaign U.S. House candidate still has ‘uphill battle,’ expert says BY CLAIRE HARLIN | VILLAGE NEWS In the race for the 50th U.S. Congressional District, La Jollans are the top donors to Democratic challenger Francine Busby’s campaign, giving a total of $71,350 to the candidate, even though they aren’t in her district. The finding is based on a statistical analysis by The Center for Responsive Politics (CRP), an independent nonprofit research group. The center broke down campaign contributions by ZIP code, and in this case, the numbers are representative of either the donor’s home or business address — whichever he or she listed as 92037 when making the

contribution. Republican incumbent Brian Bilbray’s top donors came from Rancho Santa Fe, totaling $107,349, according to CRP. La Jollans gave the second-largest amount to Bilbray’s campaign war chest — a total of $53,835. The numbers for both candidates are based on contributions of more than $200 from individuals, as reported to the Federal Election Commission. The numbers do not include money contributed by political action committees. No ZIP code data was analyzed for Peace and Freedom Party candidate Miriam Clark or Libertarian Lars Grossmith. While most of La Jolla falls under Rep. Susan Davis’s District 53, La Jolla Democratic Club President Michael McQuary said a lot of candidates come to La Jolla for support because La Jollans “have a
big heart and really care about the bigger picture.” “They aren’t just focused on their area,” McQuary said. He added that in District 50, 41 percent of residents identify themselves as Republicans versus 31 percent as Democrats. District 53 is shaped like a long arm along San Diego’s coast, extending from Del Mar south to Point Loma, encompassing all of the La Jolla Village, Torrey Pines and the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), as well as the skinny coastal strip of Bird Rock. The area east of Bird Rock — from La Jolla Boulevard to Mount Soledad — is in District 50. Both La Jolla and Pacific Beach were split into two districts during redistricting SEE CAMPAIGN, Page 6

Two men supposedly lived in one apartment and two women in the other. They often got together and had parties. The Colonial staff investigates every complaint and the outcome is always the same: The bakery is empty and locked tight for the night. • A tall gentleman in a tuxedo, top hat, white scarf and cane was seen roaming the halls of the 1928 building late one evening accompanied by a lady in a cream-colored evening gown.

of the high-ranking officers from nearby Camp Callan, Araiza said. “Our Sun Meeting Room was used as a barracks room during that time,” she said. It is there where many ghostly sightings have occurred over the years. One employee of the hotel was recently in the Sun Room and heard heavy footsteps thundering down the stairs in the North Annex, Araiza said. As she raced to the swinging door partition between the Sun Room and guest rooms to catch the culprit, the door swung open but no one came through. The hallway and staircase were empty. The remodeling of the hotel also appears to unsettle the spirits, The Grande Colonial’s “ghost log” conveys. One such incident happened during a recent remodel of the Sun Room. While two employees were talking in the kitchen, they observed a frying pan that was securely stacked on a rack lift up and set down on the counter. Despite frequent reports from staff and guests, Ariaza said The Grande has no problem attracting visitors — even if some other-worldly repeat guests refuse to leave.
Trial set in Bird Rock crash case Following a two-day preliminary hearing, a judge on Oct. 14 ordered Ronald Troyer, 66, to stand trial for alleged hit-and-run and reckless driving with serious injuries to three teenagers and two adults when he allegedly crashed his vehicle into the Cass Street Café on La Jolla Boulevard on Aug. 15. Troyer, of La Jolla, was also charged with driving his 1984 Chrysler sedan on a suspended license. Deputy District Attorney David Uyar said Troyer lost privileges because of two earlier drunken driving convictions, but there was no evidence Troyer had been drinking before the Aug. 15 crash. The three teenagers who suffered multiple broken bones were not called to testify. Police officers recounted their stories to San Diego Superior Court Judge Bernard Revak. The two adults, Jeffrey Macelli and his wife, Sherry Macelli, testified they had just moved from a table before Troyer’s truck burst into the restaurant. “Something sent me flying,” Mr. Macelli, using crutches, told the judge. Sherry Macelli recounted seeing a teenage girl “face down with the car on top of her.” Both said they remember Troyer yelling, “someone stole my car,” just after the incident. Robert George, a La Jolla chiropractor, testified he saw “chaos” at the restaurant said he heard Troyer tell someone he wasn’t driving the car. “He was attempting to walk away,” said George. “I said, ‘You’re not leaving ‘til the police come.’” Troyer’s license was suspended in 2006 for misdemeanor drunken driving, and according to court records, and a warrant was issued June 28 for failure to serve in a work furlough program and failure to pay a $1,661 traffic-related fine. Troyer pleaded not guilty and a trial date was set for Dec. 3. — Neal Putnam

OB ITUARY
Brigitte Ursula Feucht Brigitte Ursula Feucht, long-time La Jolla resident, passed away on Sept. 20 at the age of 76. Brigitte was born in Heidelberg, Germany, where she grew up with three sisters. After finishing high school, she studied biology at the University of Göttingen. She moved to Baltimore, Md. in the 1960s to continue her studies at Goucher College, and subsequently worked at Johns Hopkins University. In 1970, she moved to San Diego to join the lab of Dr. Milton Saier at the University of California, San Diego. Here, Brigitte fell in love with the flora and fauna of Southern California and became a U.S. citizen in 1989. Brigitte devoted much of her life to her passion and talent for art through printmaking. She exhibited her art at UCSD and in art shows at Balboa Park with a group called “7 Printmakers.” A lover of nature since childhood, Brigitte was also a gifted gardener and a member of the San Diego Bromeliad Society. She spent a great deal of time hiking in the desert and around Baja California. In the last 15 years of her life, she worked as an in-home caregiver for adults and children with disabilities, touching the lives of many with her calm, comforting nature. Brigitte is survived by her sister and brother-in-law, Gudrun and Adalbert Maercker, a large extended family in Germany, and many dear friends in San Diego. She will be missed.

NEWS A special Bishop’s tribute to a top First Lady staffer BY CLAIRE HARLIN | VILLAGE NEWS Returning to The Bishop’s School campus last weekend after 25 years, memories resurfaced for Melissa Winter — the locations of her locker, the headmaster’s office and detention. But the most prominent recollections for the 1985 alum, who’s now among the highest ranks in East Wing of the White House, involved the teachers who spent countless hours after school helping students with the tough curriculum because they “genuinely loved teaching.” “Once you step back from the situation you get more clarity,” said Winter, Deputy Chief of Staff to First Lady Michelle Obama. “Not only was it a beautiful campus, but the quality of education was amazing. It really laid the groundwork for me.” Winter was presented on Oct. 23 with the Ellen Browning Scripps Distinguished Alumni Award, meant to honor alumni who have had a broad impact in the pursuit of their goals and attracted wide recognition for their accomplishments. She accepted the award at the school’s sixth annual Ellen Browning Scripps Celebration, which took place at the school, located at 7607 La Jolla Blvd. After her primary education in La Jolla, Winter attended Skidmore College, a private liberal arts school in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. She has worked alongside a number of notable politicians, such as Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.), Congresswoman Anna Eshoo (D-Palo Alto) and former U.S. Secretary of Transporation Norman Mineta.

Winter, who was Mrs. Obama’s first hire, is responsible for the operation and administration of the First Lady’s office. But the most interesting part of her job, she said, is getting to travel with Mrs. Obama whenever she goes out of the country. Highlights include attending the G20 summit in Toronto, seeing the Nobel Peace Prize awarded in Oslo and helping earthquake victims in Haiti. She was first offered the job when she was working for Lieberman, and she “immediately dismissed it,” she said, because it required her to move to Chicago. But in January 2007, she interviewed with the First Lady in the Obamas’ living room, and by February 2007 she had found an apartment in Chicago. But back in 1985, when she strolled from class to class through the lush Bishop’s School lawn, Winter said she never imagined she’d end up where she is today.

Carrying the weight for Tijuana BY LAUREN VENTURA | VILLAGE NEWS For the residents of the colonias of Tijuana, life is not easy. These border shantytowns have little or no sanitation facilities and residents live in tent-like structures. That’s what motivates organizers of Heart of the Samurai, a leadership workshop that also aims to help those who are less fortunate. More than 200 participants took part in one of two annual Heart of the Samurai scavenger hunt-like events on Friday and Saturday. The group, in conjunction with Project Mercy, a nonprofit that works to improve standards of living in Tijuana shantytowns, constructed 32 walls for pre-fabricated homes to be built south of the border. The project took place at the La Jolla Community Church, located at 4377 Eastgate Mall. Participants scavenged San Diego for items such as hammers, nails and drywall, as requested by Project Mercy. Brian Klemmer, director of Heart of the Samurai, said this was a difficult task for participants. “Many of them are CEOs, so they find it difficult to ask for things,” said Klemmer. “This group has to work as a team to raise $75,000 or find the specific items. They can’t just cut a check out of their own checkbook or buy the items themselves. They have to raise the money and acquire the goods ethically. It’s about learning compassion, problem-solving and leadership through service.” After the team finished, members were told to bring the items to the church for review. What came next was a complete surprise — they had no clue they would be asked to actually build walls.
Participants load all 32 walls, which they built in about five hours, onto a flatbed truck at La Jolla Community Church on Oct. 23 as part of a leadership workshop. DON BALCH | Village News

On the second Tuesday of every month Eugene Davidovich, chair of the San Diego Chapter of Americans for Safe Access (ASA), heads to the La Jolla Brew House for the organization’s monthly run-down of legislation and court action facing medicinal marijuana patients. The decision to hold the meeting in La Jolla, according to Davidovich, is because there are hundreds of patients here looking for safe access. “At least 30 percent or so of our regular attendees come from La Jolla,” Davidovich said. This month’s meeting focused on Prop 19, a measure up for vote on Nov. 2 to legalize marijuana. Perhaps what makes Prop 19 unique compared to the litany of previous initiatives to legalize cannabis is that, if passed, it will also allow cities and counties to control the sale of marijuana, which could, according to “Yes on 19” advocates, generate billions of dollars in revenue much like alcohol does. “The medicinal marijuana community is for Prop 19 because if it is completely legalized it will advance the opportunity to research the other medicinal properties of cannabis,” said Davidovich. “As of now, cannabis collectives cannot do this.” ASA members feel the passage of Prop 19 would also reduce the amount of medicinal marijuana-related arrests by local and federal officials because it would reinforce state law. Adding to the drama swirling around the issue is Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s recent signing of Senate Bill 1449 and Assembly Bill 2650. Although the bills seem to conflict one another, it appears the current administration’s intent is clear: SB 1449 decriminalizes posses-

McQuary said the districts were “gerrymandered” — that is, redrawn for the political advantage of a given party — to put the Democrats in District 53 and Republicans in District 50. Gary Jacobson, a political scientist at UCSD, said the numbers showing La Jolla’s financial support in its neighboring district’s race are “revealing, but not surprising,” because there’s a tendency for coastal communities to be more liberal. “The coast is generally more affluent and socially moderate to liberal, as well as educated and cosmopolitan,” said Jacobson, who teaches classes in American politics and congression-

If caught with up to one ounce, a person would only face a $100 infraction, but as of January dispensaries will be prohibited from operating within 600 feet of a school — making the measures passed in 1996 under Prop 215 for medicinal marijuana access more difficult to maintain. AB 2650 could shut down many local dispensaries, Davidovich said. The Sundt Memorial Foundation, which encourages kids to live a drug-free life of “natural highs,” opposes Prop 19. “We obviously have grave, grave concerns about the ramifications of Prop 19 if it passes,” said Michelle Ahearne, executive director of the La Jolla-based nonprofit. “Teachers are already required by California health laws to educate children about the harmful effects of drugs and alcohol. If it passes, how will they do that?” The media and celebrity culture send kids mixed messages about drug use, Ahearne said. “If we add the element of legalization to the mix,” she said, “what’s the message we’re supposed to send?” Conversely, San Diego native and ASA member Vey Linville has been using cannabis concentrates to treat his emphysema for more than a year and believes the passage of Prop 19 will ensure patients’ rights in California, as well as help his children rather than hinder them. “As a parent, I fear that a single minor episode of experimentation with cannabis could lead to one of my children becoming ensnared in the
criminal justice system,” Linville said. “Let’s make room in the courts. Let’s stop wasting the police’s time and let them chase violent offenders.” Scott Chipman, southern California co-chair for Citizens Against the Legalization of Marijuana (CALM), disagrees. “In Alaska, they legalized marijuana from 1978 to 1994 and use doubled among teens compared to the other U.S. states,” said the Pacific Beach resident. “We need to oppose Prop 19 so we can send a positive message to our teens.” Chipman also feels the Prop 19 verbiage is misunderstood. “Prop 19 will not tax or regulate marijuana. It asks that counties and cities create the tax regulations regarding the sale,” he said. “In the current economic climate, the reality is that it will be extremely difficult for local government to do that. They’ll put it on the back burner.” Regardless of whether Prop 19 passes, local ASA members are concerned about an ordinance proposal asking that collectives be at least 1,000 feet from places such as schools, libraries, places of worship, youth camps and playgrounds. The San Diego County Board of Supervisors is expected to make a decision on the proposal in January. “If you forget for just a minute that it’s marijuana, and that it’s aspirin or any other medicine you can get in a pharmacy,” said Davidovich, “you’ll realize that it’s taking away safe access for patients looking for relief.”
al elections. “You’ll find more social conservatives as you move inland.” In La Jolla especially, he said, the UCSD academic community is generally a “Democratic bunch,” he said. Jacobson said it will be a tough race for Busby. This is the third time she has run against Bilbray in District 50, including the 2006 special election won by Bilbray to replace former Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham, who was forced out of office and is now serving time in federal prison. Busby managed to get about 45 percent of the vote in 2006, which Jacobson said was a favorable year for Democrats, as they took control of the House and worked under an unpopular Republican president. “She has an extra uphill battle this year because it’s a bad year for Democrats,” said Jacobson, noting that President Barack
Obama’s ratings have fallen and Americans are unhappy with the economy. “Those circumstances make it virtually impossible for her to win.” As for contributions to Davis’ campaign as the incumbent in District 53, La Jollans have given $50,200. Her competitor, Michael Crimmins, has so far collected only $6,400 in reported contributions from those living in 92037.

ENJOY THE COLORS & BEAUTY OF OLD TOWN Folklorico De La Luna will captivate audiences Dia De Los Muertos celebrations
The traditional Ballet Folklorico costumes are voluminous and colorful, and are meant to be swirled and swept while the dance is being performed.
Fiesta De Reyes is the place “where history lives and the fiesta lasts forever,” according to its slogan. History will take center stage for three Saturdays, as eight troupes of ballet Folklorico dancers compete for the top prize at the Folklorico De La Luna. On Oct. 16, 23 and the grand finale on Nov. 6, dancers will be competing for the chance to win a $1,000 grand prize. The competition is from 1 to 5 p.m.
and celebrates the traditional, lively dance of Ballet Folklorico. Each of the three performances will feature a headlining Latin group to complete the day’s entertainment. Well-known local performers and widely acclaimed professional Ballet group Tijuan will cap the finale’s performances on Nov. 6. Each dance troupe is from San Diego County. All troupes will compete, but
only four will make it through to the grand finale round. The history of the dance will be shared with those in attendance throughout the performances. Folklorico is a folkloric ballet dance. Elegant female dancers with exquisite make-up and beautiful hair make the purposeful movement seem whimsical against the rhythm of the music. The dresses, when held up to show the unique foot movement, form a near circle, edged by ruffles and vibrant colors. It is referred to as the dress of Jalisco, with the “j” pronounced like an airy “h,” which rolls off the tongue. Male dancers wear black pants and a matching wide brimmed hat. Typically a red tie is worn, which only adds to the drama of the choreographed dance. The three-day event is free and open to the public. Fiesta De Reyes is tucked away at the northeast end of Old Town State Park, and lined with linen-colored authentic pueblo structures. It is near Wallace and Calhoun streets and is one block from the Old Town Trolley Station. Casa de Reyes, Barra Barra Saloon and even near-by El Fandango are three delicious restaurants in the vicinity. Fiesta De Reyes also boasts 16 specialty shops open daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. For more information call (619) 2973100 or visit www.fiestadereyes.com or text “Fiesta” to 53137.

Old Town State Park will honor Dia De Los Muertos, Day of the Dead, on Nov. 1 and 2 and the public is invited to join in the festivities that will honor the deceased. Tradition dictates, that on the day of the dead, the living will honor those who have passed on with altars lined with food, drink, marigolds and maybe even a gift or two for the welcomed spirits. Bread is often one of the items on the altar as are colorful skulls, pictures of saints and the deceased. Baked breads, candles and figurines also will grace the altar-tops. Day of the Dead pays homage to the presence of the dead among the living and is a colorful tribute to the California’s own Mexican heritage. “We want to give our guests a sense of traveling back into time,” said event organizer and manager of El Fandango Mexican Restaurant, Marco Puente. Numerous altars will be set-up throughout the park. More than 25 local businesses, museums, and community organizations will create the traditional Mexican altars and offerings to the dead. Some of the altars will honor historic figures from Old Town’s past. Puente added that in addition to an altar, the entrance to El Fandango Mexican Restaurant will have floral archways in the front and back of the restaurant to welcome the spirits in and staff will have painted faces to symbolize the spirit presence. By 11 a.m. the altars will be ready for viewing throughout the park. Restaurants will offer specialty food and drinks. The festivities will also include poetry readings and musical offerings as well.
The area is no stranger to spirits and ghosts as the Cosmopolitan Hotel has a room it rents out to the not so feint of heart who do not mind the presence of a ghost or two. Spirits and more brave souls swarm the haunted Whaley House as well. Dia De Los Muertos is a true celebration of life and death that speak to everyone who has lost somebody. It serves as a chance to pay homage to the spirits who have passed and a welcome is offered to let them know that they are still thought of. Puente said that Old Town is the birthplace of California, a proud sentiment that will be visible to guests on Dia De Los Muertos. A special candlelight procession from the Whaley House Museum to El Campo Cemetery will take place on Nov. 1 at 8 p.m. and the public is welcome to join. It will also serve as the public’s opportunity to leave offerings of their own for lost loved ones among the gravesites of the Old town’s earliest families. Free, tour maps of the altars will be available and online at oldtownsandiego.org, otsguide.com or whaleyhouse.org. Print the map and then join the celebration and learn about Mexican heritage.
LIVE STORYTELLING The haunting will continue with a live storytelling of Old Town’s Legend of Sleepy Hollow at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 28 and at 8 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 31. Fiesta de Reyes, Old Town San Diego State Park, Write Out Loud, Cygnet Theater and the Old Town Merchants Association sponsor the preceding events. Free parking is available in the Caltrans parking lot on Taylor Street in Old Town after 5 p.m. on weekdays and all day on weekends.

Travis Smith’s career ferments at the La Jolla Brew House BY LAUREN VENTURA | VILLAGE NEWS Since 2003, the La Jolla Brew House has been providing the community with mouth-watering brews for the discerning beer lover. Now it has another hoppy surprise up its sleeve — new brewmaster Travis Smith. Owner Claudette Manix said she is excited to have hired Smith earlier this month, and to celebrate, she unveiled four of the brewer’s latest concoctions in a special “Celebration of Change” party on Oct. 22. Smith, a Sonoma State University graduate, began homebrewing while in college — a pastime he said almost didn’t ferment. “I started off as a criminal justice major. I actually thought I wanted to go into law enforcement,” Smith said. “After I finished up at the police academy, I entered a club-only beer competition and won.” That moment gave his primarily “liquid resume” a much-needed boost that paved the way for an apprenticeship at the Russian River Brewing Company in Santa Rosa, Calif. By 2005, Russian River hired Smith on as its lead brewer and a career was born. Now that he calls La Jolla home, Smith said looks forward to making his own beer and having some creative license in creating the Brewhouse’s products.
The La Jolla Brew House introduced new brewmaster Travis Smith at the pub’s “Celebration of Change” party on Oct. 22. DON BALCH | Village News
“I plan on making great beer that locals will love, maybe even pushing the boundaries a bit,” he said. Smith will be rolling out what he feels are some creative, traditional brews that San Diegans tend to favor, such as his Pariah IPA. The IPA brew was one of his specialties while brewing at Russian River and The Bruery of Orange County, so he thinks locals will really enjoy its heavy hoppiness. As part of San Diego Beer Week, which takes place Nov. 5-14, the La Jolla Brew House will host a fourcourse dinner on Nov. 10. Smith will oversee the beer pairings, which include brews from the Airdale, Manzanita and Lightning brewing companies of San Diego.

In the mountainous region of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, Stephen Charles Shortridge rises each morning at 5 a.m. He has a cup of coffee, and then spends an hour in the sauna reading, writing and praying to refresh, focus and prepare for a day of painting. From 6 a.m. to noon, Shortridge paints while listening to music — anything from rock to classical, depending on his mood. Shortridge’s painting style, “romantic impressionism,” is a blurry, out-of-focus, lush, bold, uninhibited and emotional style of art. Ablaze with color, the style seems to capture a subject’s energy more than its physical attributes, and it is meant to be felt by the viewer. It is romantic because it has a flair of romance, nostalgia or love of the subject and it validates the subjective or individual experience over classical forms or notions of conformity. It is impressionistic because it relies on small quick brush strokes, primary colors and the reflection of light to capture general impressions, vague feelings, sensory experience and subjectivity rather than objective reality. It is participatory because it invites the viewer to fill in the details, complete the scene and become part of the picture. As Monarch Gallery assistant Jessica Payne said, “It’s easy to see or image yourself in Stephen’s paintings.” On Shortridge’s website, he said comtemporary artist Richard Schmidt puts it best: “It’s not what do you see? It’s what do you see?” The idea is to try to paint how you experience outer reality on the inside — what the outer world makes you feel. “Rather than attempting to tell you something accurately, I try to make you feel it,” wrote Shortridge on his website. “I invite your emotions to take part.” For Shortridge, it is not what you

can know that is important, but what you can feel. “I think we often pursue knowledge rather than experience or relationship,” he said. “Knowledge never creates anything. But intimate relationship of the heart does.” Shortridge said his job as an artist is to look for beauty, interpret life and then put what he sees to canvas. He is a very spiritual person who, like Dante, thinks “Nature is the art of God.” Shortridge was born in Idaho in 1951, but raised in Southern California. He took his first painting class at Idaho State University, where he attended on a water polo scholarship. During the 1970s and 1980s, he worked as a television actor, appearing in “Welcome Back Kotter” and “The Love Boat.” He also costarred with Debbie Reynolds in the ABC show “Aloha Paradise,” and played David Reed on the Soap Opera “The Bold and the Beautiful.” When he was 37 he decided to pur-
WILL BOWEN | Village News
sue visual art full-time because, although he enjoyed acting, he found painting to be more rewarding. “In contrast to acting, painting gives me complete control from start to finish,” he said. “Painting provides a constant challenge ... you never really master it.” Monarch associate director Sandy Sells described Shortridge as a “genuine, warm, open, down-to-earth family man, devoted to his wife and daughter, who shows no pretense.” It appears that Shortridge has much to teach us about our own creativity. “The most important aspect of creating is staying true to your heart,” he said. “If you say you’re not creative, it’s just not true. It would be more true to say you are not creating.” The gallery is located at 1205 Prospect St. For further information see www.Monarchfineart.com or call (858) 454-1231.

SOCIETY 10 Actives and advisories, an XYZ scanner and the ‘Bigs’ THURSDAY · OCTOBER 28, 2010
LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS
Starry, starry nights
with Vincent Andrunas Despite the slow economy, this year’s Aug. 7 Jewel Ball (JB) cleared a palindromic $781,187 for the charitable causes supported by the remarkably accomplished women of Las Patronas (LP). The membership, limited to just 50 “actives,” works all year long to make the annual ball a great success. Actives serve for seven years, after which they become “advisory” members. Each October, some actives “time out,” and new members take their places. Sixteen new members, dubbed “The Sweet 16,” comprise the “Class of 2010.” They were introduced (and their qualifications described) at LP’s annual New Member Luncheon, held recently at the La Jolla Country Club. They’re all La Jolla residents (that’s a requirement), and eager to do their part for this very effective philanthropic organization. They’ll get to prove themselves with JB 2011 (next August), to be chaired by Sue Wagener. The theme, “Sapphire,” was revealed through a humorous skit involving Sue’s native Tennessee, yoga and Elvis. Being a JB chair, 2010 chair Lise Wilson declared, is like getting a tattoo on your face — “You have to be committed, or it won’t work.” ••• Some call traditional archeology “the
science of destruction.” Excavations destroy buildings and other features in layers above to get to the older strata below. But great strides in technology are producing methods that preserve rather than destroy, and that make possible non-invasive searches for such antiquities as Leonardo da Vinci’s “Battle of Anghiari” mural, which disappeared 500 years ago, King Solomon’s mines, the lost tomb of Genghis Kahn and more. The scope of these projects is too broad and complex to fully describe, but Dr. Myron Schonbrun and his wife Doreen hosted a recent reception to introduce Maurizio Seracini, director of UCSD’s Center of Interdisciplinary Science for Art, Architecture and Archaeology (or more conveniently, CISA3), and other scientists involved in these efforts. After wine and hors d’oeuvres, guests toured laboratories with giant ultra-high resolution video screens and other wonders, heard short presentations from researchers and explorers, and saw a virtual atlas of the holy land. Organizers hope the exposure will assist efforts to raise $500,000 for a largescale XYZ scanner to continue the research. ••• The Big Brothers and Big Sisters mentoring program was founded in New York in 1904, and established in San Diego County in 1961. The “Bigs” are very effective, and the idea has earned popular support. When the San Diego chapter held its 48th annual Gourmet Dinner at the Hyatt Aventine recently, a record number of about 650 people attended. Among them were former California Gov. Pete Wilson and his wife Gail, both of whom have mentored children.
The evening began in the Hyatt Aventine’s Glass Pavilion, where guests enjoyed cocktails and the huge seafood buffet that’s a tradition at this event. Later, inside the ballroom, Padres baseball announcers Mark Grant and Jenny Cavnar emceed the program. The audience learned that although the Bigs served 1,700 San Diego children last year, about 600 still await mentors. Auction bidders gave liberal support, and when pledges were solicited, more than $100,000 was raised. This qualified for a $50,000 matching grant that had been generously offered, helping to bring the event’s total to $550,000. Accepting the group’s Legacy Award, Wilson pointed out that a mentor can make a tremendous difference in a child’s life, even with just an hour or two per week. A short video documented the group’s work, and the night ended with a cigar-and-brandy after-hours party in the outdoor Barcino Grill.

COASTAL HOMES Ivett Wesselenyi, creative director for TABLE SETTING 101 AtGiftswww.giftsandgatheringslajolla.com, & Gatherings of La Jolla, provides some pointers on how to set a table like a pro. • Table linens, napkins and placemats The color and design of linens should be a very dominant part of the décor. Tables are traditionally covered with linen, silk or a cotton tablecloth. Underlays can touch the ground and act as a lining and complimentary color base for the fancier and more dominant overlays. Another option is to use placemats and napkins only, but only if the base and legs of the table are nice enough to become part of the décor. Napkins make great decorations. They can be folded to various designs, can hold menus or be adorned with fancy napkin rings.
• Glasses Unless you have plenty of table space and are serving a small dinner party, I recommend against using more than three glasses per person for a sit down dinner: champagne flute, water/red wine and wine/white wine glasses. Choosing colored glass or crystal glasses will add interest to the table. Use specialty glasses for cocktail hour: martini/margarita, whiskey, shot and cognac glasses. Children should only have water glasses.
• Flatware The type of flatware you will need depends on the food you are serving. Some dishes, like cream soups, lobster, • Charger plates Charger plates are not used to serve steak, pasta and fish require special flatfood, but as a decoration to present the ware types, so adjust accordingly.

Having a family-style Thanksgiving feast in style BY LAUREN VENTURA | VILLAGE NEWS There are several facets to Thanksgiving that we are all too familiar with: turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and mashed potatoes — essentially all the requirements to eat a feast. But what about the final touches that turn an ordinary Thanksgiving dinner into an extraordinary Thanksgiving extravaganza? According to Ivett Wesselenyi, creative director for Gifts & Gatherings of La Jolla, the decorations, centerpieces and table settings all help accomplish this. Wesselenyi provides several tips to make this Thanksgiving a little more festive, like adding twigs, moss balls or
pods to existing centerpieces. “For fall, I tend to decorate with more natural elements,” because faux flower access tends to be more limited, Wesselenyi said. If faux flowers are available, she suggests using them as table accents in colors like metallic copper or aubergine. For those looking to save time and money, Wesselenyi also has suggestions to give a home’s surroundings a seasonal shift without investing in a whole new set of accessories. This can be achieved by bringing some elements into the limelight or by correcting height and size ratios in the existing accent pieces to establish a more visually appealing effect. Most importantly though, make sure to
place whatever table centerpiece is decided upon — whether it be candelabra or vase — above eye level, Wesselenyi said. “Make sure it’s tall and that the bulk of the flowers, branches or candles don’t obstruct the view among guests.” Perhaps one of the easiest ways to encourage a relaxing, family experience is to change the eating structure, which can end up being a game of hot potato with people passing around side dishes for the majority of the meal. “This time of year is a time to share with family,” said Wesselenyi. “Familystyle dinners with Lazy Susans in the middle of the table, even at larger gatherings such as fundraisers, has become a new trend.”

work together. I use the two out of three methods: Plain or decorated, two out of three should be the same kind: two decorated with one plain, or two plain with one decorated. • Serving pieces Serving pieces are usually used for small family gatherings or on the buffet table — perfect accessories for Thanksgiving. Traditional pieces are: covered tureens, platters, tea and coffeepots, gravy boats, sugar bowls and creamers. • Lighting Candles and votives are the traditional light sources on a set table. Large silver candelabras provide instant height and class to any table. Votives can be placed on the table or hung from an arrangement.

SPORTSbrief Amigos Cup brings border tennis rivalry to La Jolla Some of the most talented tennis players United States and Mexico have to offer will square off next weekend in La Jolla during the annual Amigos Cup. The tournament that rotates annually north and south of the border will be held Nov. 4-7 at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club, locat-
ed at 2000 Spindrift Drive. The Amigos Cup 2010 will be held over four days at the club with morning singles and afternoon doubles held on Friday, Nov. 5, and Saturday, Nov. 6. Final matches begin Sunday, Nov. 7, at 9 a.m. The tournament coincides with the U.S.-Italy Fed Cup Final, held the same weekend at the Valley View Casino Center in Point Loma. For more information about The Amigos Cup, visit www.ljbtc.com.
The Bishop’s School football team improved to 7-0 on the season by posting a 28-14 victory over visiting Francis Parker on Oct. 22 at La Jolla High. “I think our defense played really well,” said Bishop’s head coach Joel Allen. “I was proud of the kids.” The Knights got on the board first when senior tailback Alec Fisher ran for a five-yard touchdown in the first quarter. The Lancers answered back in the second quarter when Max Bosse hauled in a long pass from Warren Brody to even the score. After going into the half tied, Bishop’s was able to retake the lead with 5:28 left in the third quarter. Capping off a long, methodical drive, quarterback Joey Moreno found Fisher open in the flat and the speedster got to the outside for a 15-yard touchdown catch and a 14-7 lead. “We ran double slants with our receivers and we sent out our running back into the flats and it was wide open,” Moreno said. Francis Parker was able to get back in the game when Brody picked off a Moreno pass and ran it all the way back to the Knights’ two-yard line. Jesse Brookins plowed in from there with 28 seconds left in the third quarter to make it 14-14. Bishop’s got back on track by feeding the ball to its go-to guy. With 10:53 left in the game, Fisher took a handoff from Moreno, broke a tackle and got free near the sideline before using his speed to gain on chasing defenders for an electrifying 70-yard

touchdown run to give the Knights a 21-14 advantage on the scoreboard. “I came around the right side and saw No. 90 trying to tackle me so I just gave him a quick stiffy and I was gone to the races,” Fisher said. “When I see the endzone I like to speed it up a little bit.” The game looked to be in the bag at that point, but running back Austin Fisher coughed up a rare fumble with 1:55 left and the Lancers took over at their own six-yard line. “I think the pitch was a little bit behind me but it was my fault. I just dropped it, I don’t know what was going on,” he said. Despite his miscue in the final minutes, Austin Fisher had a solid game, running for several key first downs
and pulling in an interception from his linebacker position. Parker looked to take advantage of the turnover and drove to midfield with a couple of nice plays by Brody. But Knights junior defensive back Dominique Love ended the drive and the game when he intercepted a Brody pass and ran it back 65 yards to the endzone to make the score 2814 with 1:05 left. “As soon as I saw the ball go up, I just took it and I knew I had to take it to the house to get that ‘W,’” Love said. “I had to take it back for the team.” The Knights will try to improve to 8-0 when they welcome Riverside Christian to La Jolla’s Edwards Stadium on Oct. 29.

Crossword Puzzle History Thousands of crossword puzzles are a form of entertainment for puzzle enthusiasts all around world. They appear in newspapers and crossword books and serve as a tool for educating young children. Crosswords have been in existence since the early 1900s. A crossword puzzle is essentially a word game in which players use clues to fill in a grid of boxes to complete words both vertically and horizontally. Arthur Wynne, an English-born journalist at the New York World, is credited with inventing the crossword puzzle. Wynne based his word-cross, as it was originally named, after an ancient game that originated in Pompeii, translated from Latin to mean "magic squares," which Wynne had played as a child. The first puzzle was a diamond shape. The World published Wynne's crossword puzzle in its 8-page "Fun" section as a mental exercise. Thanks to its clever shape and easy clues, it was a success with readers. Eventually other newspapers wanted to publish crossword puzzles, too. By 1923, most newspapers in the U.S. and Great Britain were publishing crosswords. Simon and Schuster published the first crossword collection book. The New York Times was one of the only newspapers that did not publish crosswords.

It also frowned on comic strips. However, the paper eventually succumbed, and printed its very first crossword in 1950. To print your weekly crossword puzzle, go to www.sdnews.com and click on 4-Fun.
