Steve Bell, 66; Opera Buff, Television Pioneer at KTLA

Steve Bell, a television pioneer who changed the way local morning news was presented in Los Angeles, died of a heart attack in his Pacific Palisades home on June 30. He was 66. Bell was perhaps best known as the senior vice president and general manager of KTLA-TV who spurred the launching of KTLA’s brash local morning news programming. Born in Boston, Bell attended Harvard University for both his undergraduate and graduate degrees in English literature. He first became interested in broadcasting when he and his brother Alan were living in New York City. He became general manager of WLVI-TV in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and in 1981 took the same position at KTLA, where he helped to build the station into a ratings giant by delving into new approaches such as simultaneous Spanish-language audio broadcasts on the news programs and broadcasting movie classics with the films’ stars as hosts. In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Bell said of his station’s innovative style, “when others zig, we zag.” For example, he told another interviewer, “we ran hour action-adventure shows at 6 p.m. when the indie competition ran sitcoms. The affiliates ran their nightly news at 11 p.m., so we ran ours at 10 p.m.” Bell built the “KTLA Morning News” team, many of whom are still on the air, including co-anchor Carlos Amezcua, entertainment reporter Sam Rubin and weatherman Mark Kriski. The show was unusually casual, with news team members joking around on air with each other, a style which proved popular with viewers. But the news group took the news seriously and was acclaimed for their coverage of the O.J. Simpson trial and the L.A. riots. In 1992, KTLA Morning News won the prestigious Peabody Award for the station’s coverage of the Rodney King beating. Bell said winning the Peabody was one of his proudest moments. When he left KTLA in 1992, the station was the most successful independent station in the Los Angeles market in most time slots. After leaving the station, Bell joined 20th Century Fox, where he ran Network Television Production and founded Foxstar Productions, which produces shows for TV. He then worked for Tele-Communications Inc., where he supervised 12 channels for the Starz/Encore Media Group. After retiring in 2000, Bell taught courses at UCLA Extension and lectured on the history of opera for the L.A. Opera, the Los Angeles Opera League and the Wagner Society of Southern California. In addition to his brother Alan, who is chief executive of Freedom Communications (publisher of the Orange County Register), Bell is survived by his wife of 35 years, Bernice; son David, a graduate of Northwestern University, and daughter Elizabeth, a senior at Vassar. Services were held July 1. Contributions in Bell’s name can be made to Inner-City Arts L. A., 720 Kohler St., Los Angeles 90021, or L.A. Opera Education and Community Program, 135 N. Grand Ave., Los Angeles 90012.

Lidia M. Kuhn, 90; Engineer, Adventurer, 53-Year Resident

Lidia Manson Kuhn, a vibrant woman who had lived in Pacific Palisades since 1952, died in her sleep early March 20. She was 90. Lidia was an accomplished, independent and lively woman: a physicist and engineer, she spoke four languages, spent vacations in the mountains skiing or backpacking, earned a Ph.D. in physics, and raised four children. She had a complex life, in which she overcame a number of griefs and challenges with intelligence, dignity and generosity toward others. Lidia and her brother Numa were born in 1915 and 1914, respectively, in Odessa, Russia, to Piotr and Marie Manson. Although the Mansons were Leninist-Socialists, as members of the Russian-Jewish intelligentsia their lives became difficult during the Stalinist era. They escaped Russia in 1925 when Lidia was 10. After four years in a progressive boarding school in Germany, Lidia joined her parents in Paris, where she completed her university studies. The advent of the Nazis forced a series of moves that ultimately led Lidia to chaperone a large group of Jewish war orphans on a boat to the United States. Lidia’s parents were killed before she could arrange their immigration to the States. On her own in a new country, Lidia became the first woman at Penn State to earn a master’s degree in engineering. In 1946, she met and married John Kuhn, and in 1950 they moved from Buffalo, New York, to Los Angeles, where they raised their four children, all of whom graduated from Palisades High: Marie in 1964, Irene in 1966, Charles in 1970 and Peter in 1971. In her career as a heat-transfer specialist, Lidia worked on the Apollo missions, on rocket engine and fin design, as well as on a number of energy-related projects. Lidia lost her husband, her brother, several close friends, and finally her oldest daughter, Marie, to cancer. These were heavy griefs that Lidia met with strength. In retirement, Lidia taught reading and gardening to inner-city children, attended French and Russian literature courses, volunteered as a docent at the L.A. Museum of Space and Technology, skied and hiked well into her 70s, rarely missed her yoga classes or theater dates with friends, gardened at home, and relished the lives of her six grandchildren: Jonathan, Tyler, Maddy, Max, Rylie, and Riley. Until near the end of her life, one could always count on having an interesting and lively conversation with Lidia. “We are grateful for our mother’s love and care, for her strength and joy in life,” said her surviving children Irene, Charles and Peter Kuhn, who all live in the San Francisco Bay area. Donations in Lidia’s memory would be welcomed by Doctors Without Borders (Medicins sans Fronti’res).

Shouts went up from the crowd, “Up there!” All eyes focused on the beautiful blue sky, and one by one, four skydivers in different colors floated down and made a perfect landing on Sunset near Swarthmore. ”Michael Owens, in his Palisades Fourth of July parade debut, landed with the American flag floating behind him. His three teammates’Carey Peck (yes, the son of Gregory Peck), Anne Helliwell and Tom Falzone (a ’79 Palisades High grad)’have started the parade for 13 years. They couldn’t stay around to chat, because they had to land at a parade in Rosemead at 3:30 before splitting up, with two members going to festivities in Redlands and two to Chino. ”After the skydivers landed, Sandra Beckwith and Louis Lebherz sang the national anthem in front of the VIP grandstand as the parade got under way over on Via de la Paz. Crowds of people sitting in chairs and on the curb, or simply standing, all lined the parade route. Bobby Kahn, who was born and raised in the Palisades, provided an inside piece of advice: “The key is getting your chair on the shady side.” ”Of course, a few lucky residents have the parade go by their front yards along Sunset and Toyopa. And they know how to throw a party. Sheryl Hallmark, who moved close to Fire Station 69 four years ago, has an elevated yard above Sunset. “Until I moved here, I was always in the category of having to set up chairs,” she said. “It’s great to be a little bit above the passing parade scenery.” ”Three policemen at one location on Sunset? What was the crime? It turns out there wasn’t a crime, but with savvy detective work they had found a party with gourmet food made by Sharon Shaw. She and her husband, Barry, volunteered as usual for PAPA People the morning of the parade, then managed to throw together a party for 40-50 people. The menu included tri-tip sandwiches, gravlax (salmon marinated in vodka, lemon, dill, salt and pepper for four days) and several luscious salads. ”Farther down the block, Karen Clark started a new tradition with her parade party this year. Her family staged ping-pong and foosball competitions before the parade started, which seemed like a good way to keep the children entertained, but Karen clarified, laughing, “The kids were fighting to get the tables from the adults, who were so competitive, it got ugly.” I briefly joined the Patriotic Pups brigade, where Denise DeSantis reported there had been some drama among the pooches. A dead squirrel, lying on the road, had been surveyed and snatched as a prize by a large black dog. The owner squeamishly tugged at the squirrel, trying to get it out of the dog’s mouth. The dog won and proceeded to devour the road kill. All the dog-walkers, totally grossed out, said in unison, “Ooohh.” ”Along Toyopa, Jim Buerge explained that 30 fried chickens, six tri-tips, two racks of lamb, and three kegs of beer helped nourish the 350-400 people who stopped by. Jim and his wife, Colleen, were born and raised in the Palisades, and their families’ presence here goes back to the 1930s. After sending out about a 100 invites, they kept running into people around town and started inviting them as well, and before they knew it, they had a yard full of people that spilled over into their neighbor’s yard. Buerge said he may put up grandstands next year. It looks like hard work, especially since they have three small children, ages 7, 5, and 2, but Jim said, “It’s always fun; it’s the best time of the year.” ”An entire yard on Toyopa was filled with the Misty Isle Pipe Band. Bagpiper Gary Shaw, a beer in one hand and his pipes in the other, told me that one of the players knew the owner. It’s an annual event for the band. “We always come by after we’re done marching,” Shaw said. “In exchange for a few beers, we play a few tunes.” ”Last year, 8-year-old Andrew Slate shouted at his mom Susan, “You wrecked my Fourth of July!” She explained on Monday that last year their house on Toyopa was under construction and for the first time in 11 years, they didn’t have their party. Andrew looked much happier this year, seated with friends on the curb and blowing a red horn. Susan gives all the adults little flags to wave and all the children get party bags. Guests were making ice cream sundaes with chocolate syrup, sprinkles, and whipped cream, when suddenly the Impulse Drum and Bugle Corps from Santa Ana crowded the curb in front of the house. Some of the members hopped the lawn and started playing for the partygoers. When the band went back into formation and marched down the street, the guests wanted to know how Susan managed to get them to perform specially for them. ”She laughed because she had no idea why they decided to stop. But her husband, Dan, summed up the Fourth of July for partygoers, parade watchers, and Palisadians in general, when he said, “It’s wonderful. It’s tons of fun!”

Town Readies for Runners, Parade and Fireworks

From the early-morning Will Rogers 5/10K races through the 2 p.m. parade to the evening fireworks show at the high school, Pacific Palisades will offer an enviable Fourth of July celebration on Monday. This issue of the Palisadian-Post contains our traditional 24-page supplement (and 12-page wrap) previewing the parade, which begins following the arrival of Carey Peck’s skydiving team on Sunset at Swarthmore. Also, our sports section provides 5/10K details as well as previews of the Kids’ Fun Run and the YMCA Youth Triathlon. In addition: Early Parade Chairs Nixed “The Bureau of Street Services has asked that I remind the community that no spectator chairs or benches should appear along the parade route prior to 6 p.m. on Sunday, July 3,” said Monique Ford in City Councilwoman Cindy Miscikowski’s office this week. The crackdown on “early-bird” chairs began last year when the City warned that “Street Services will remove all obstructions placed on City property prior to the agreed-upon time whether they are attached (chained, tied or roped) to any public object or not. All confiscated items will be available for pick-up on or after July 7 at 1479 Stoner Ave., West L.A. with valid I.D. and only after making an appointment with the inspector (by calling 575-8479). Any items not picked up by July 30 will be destroyed.” 11th Year for Patriotic Pups Participants in the Patriotic Pups brigade, a parade tradition since 1995, are encouraged to call Marilyn Haaker (454-6430) to sign up. Dogs must be comfortable in the company of horses, people and other dogs, and be completely under the handler’s control. The group will gather beforehand under the trees at Palisades Elementary and will set out relatively early in the parade. Sunset Closure Sunset Boulevard will be closed off to through traffic beginning about 1:30 p.m., at which time drives can detour easily via Albright (taking Hartzell or Via de la Paz north off Sunset). Free shuttle buses are available adjacent to the parking lots at Palisades High and the Presbyterian Church (corner of El Medio). Ralphs Closed All Day July 4 Ralphs Market, normally a 24/7 operation, will once again close at midnight on July 3 and not re-open until 7 p.m. on July 5. This will allow the parking lot to be used as a staging area for all the parade equestrian units and will keep traffic away from the parade route. “Silent Lies” Benefits Parade Palisades author Mary Lee Malcolm wants to help support the parade and her favorite bookstore. For every copy of her novel “Silent Lies” sold at Village Books on Swarthmore during the month of July, she will donate $10 to the Palisades Americanism Parade Association. Malcolm, an award-winning short story writer and freelance journalist, has written a page-turning historical adventure as her debut novel, taking the reader from Budapest to Shanghai across four turbulent decades.

Last Thursday at approximately 1:30 p.m., just before the Temescal Canyon High School graduation, an arson-suspected fire erupted in a black 2004 Escalade ESV that was parked in the lower lot at Palisades High School. There were no occupants and no injuries. Two adjacent vehicles were damaged: a white 1996 Volvo 850 and a gray-and-blue 1987 Nissan Sentra. Firefighters from Station 69 in the Palisades responded to the fire. It was quickly put out, and after some preliminary investigation, firemen determined that the cause of the fire was arson. The fire is currently undergoing investigation by the L.A. Fire Department arson unit. The fire damage to the Escalade was extensive. The entire interior was burned out, the seats were burned down to the frame, the roof was warped from the heat of the fire, and the windows all melted away. Surprisingly, the front and undercarriage of the car were in very good shape. The engine block was almost completely intact, and the hood only had some minor paint damage on the upper edges. The tires were all intact, including the spare mounted on the underside of the back of the vehicle. The Temescal Canyon High School graduation was part of graduation ceremonies for nearly 100 continuation schools in the LAUSD, and more than 1,000 students were in attendance in the football stadium.

Grazing Goats: Friends or Foes?

A small herd of seven goats grazed contentedly last week on a hillside behind Fire Station 23 in Los Liones Gateway Park. They were in between jobs, according to their owner, Palisadian Linda Schilcher, who’s using them as a brush-clearing business serving hillside property owners in Pacific Palisades, Brentwood and Malibu. Schilcher said she fenced in the animals on a tiny plot of land because she was desperate for a place to put them. There they feasted on the surrounding vegetation for three days before park volunteers discovered last Thursday that the goats had stripped three oak trees. “The poor oak trees have been completely denuded,” said Palisadian Maria Bane, who was weeding and watering with fellow volunteers Norma Spak and Carol Leacock when she met Schilcher, who told her the goats were nearby. “I said to myself, ‘I hope she put them in an area that’s only grass. Once we got there, we screamed. [The area where the goats were located] enclosed three oaks that we had planted and I, personally, had watered for six years.” Bane said that they contacted the State Park officials immediately. Later that day, Schilcher was issued a citation for illegal grazing on public land and ordered to remove the goats, which she did with the help of Palisadian Monica Gilsanz, an 11-year-old helper. “I didn’t know that the volunteers were beautifying that area; I thought it was a marginal area,” said Schilcher, a Pennsylvania native who lives in Marquez Knolls. She was featured in the Los Angeles Times last August when some of her neighbors complained that the goats, who were sleeping in a trailer in front of her house, were becoming a permanent fixture in the neighborhood. Schilcher argued that the trailer was temporary until she could find suitable open space for the animals. “Generally, they move from contract to contract,” Schilcher told the Palisadian-Post. She said that her herd, now a business called Great Grazing Goats, has had steady contracts since April, clearing brush on hillsides along Earlham, Friends, Lombard and in Mandeville Canyon. So when Schilcher once again found herself in a bind with no open space on which to park them, she said she went to Will Rogers State Historic Park and asked if she could have her goats clear some park land in exchange for a temporary plot. The answer was no. Schilcher said she was told that the park “had a mechanical contract for the areas that needed to be cleared” and that “they knew which plants were under protection.” She added, “I still didn’t admit to [the supervising ranger] that I had put the goats on state parkland already.” Schilcher knows she was in the wrong at Los Liones and understands why she was cited. “It’s an infraction, not a misdemeanor,” she said of the citation. “I suspect it will be quite a serious amount of money.” According to Bane, Schilcher told her that she had permission from the fire department to have her goats there. “I said, ‘The fire department doesn’t own any property there, it’s parkland.'” A spokesman at Fire Station 23 confirmed that they have no authority over that land. Ironically, the day Schilcher moved her goats from Los Liones, the herbivores landed another contract. Currently, they are grazing on private land in Mandeville Canyon. “I’ll bring them out for the Fourth of July parade,” said Schilcher, noting that they will ride in her brush-covered trailer so that they’ll have plenty to eat while on the route. She also plans to double her herd this week by buying eight to 10 more goats from the Pierce College farm. “I’d like to save as many as I can [from slaughter],” she said. Most of her current weed-eaters, which she either adopted from the East Valley Animal Shelter or bought from the Chino Livestock Market, are does, with the exception of two wethers (neutered males). Breeding bucks omit a powerful smell. Schilcher is pursuing a Potrero Canyon contract, in which she envisions “three visits of four weeks each by about 20 goats’in February, June, and September’to clear dangerous brush in the first year.” The goats would rest and sleep overnight onsite. “The value of goat grazing is that they don’t uproot or kill trees unless you leave them in one area too long,” argued Schilcher, who trained with a goat-milk farmer in Pennsylvania before coming to California. She added that goats are quiet and leave no gasoline or oil spills, as compared to motorized mechanical methods. “We thought the goats were great,” said Palisades resident Deborah Phillips, who hired Schilcher’s goats to clear 200-300 ft. of her Potrero Canyon property, just off Friends St., in late April. “They do a really good job and they fertilize the land.” Schilcher currently charges five cents per sq. ft. (Her telephone is 573-0124). Phillips’s husband, Dr. Jerry Bloore, had heard about Great Grazing Goats from one of his dental patients, and needed to clear “land that we don’t use but that the fire department expects us to keep clear for fire hazards,” according to Phillips. So, they decided to use this form of brush clearance because “it seemed much more ecological” than the mechanical method. Phillips added that Schilcher was “nice, sweet and conscientious,” and when the goats got out a couple of times, she responded immediately and secured the fencing. Schilcher provides homeowners with a local emergency number to call, plus she only works in the local area so that she can respond to such problems. “We’ve just got to be sure that the fences are secure; that’s the real art of it and work for me,” said Schilcher, whose goats were subsequently hired to clear several other plots of private land in the Friends St. neighborhood. However, the volunteers of Los Liones would argue that goats also pose a danger to desirable vegetation. Said Maria Bane: “The grass [in Los Liones] was hardly touched. [The goats] ate the oak trees and willows.” She will continue watering the oaks in hopes of reviving them.
