Page 16 Fullerton Observer The New Mural in Town text & photo by Tod Imperato Fullerton is enjoying pleasant, warm winter days, which means residents can take to the streets to enjoy the sunshine and check out the city’s array of public art. Located principally in the downtown area, these works of art not only add a splash of color to a stroll, but they also offer snapshots of Fullerton’s history and offer insights into the lives of those who have called Fullerton home. The most recent addition to Fullerton’s collection of public art is Jun Blanco’s “Fullerton: A City Rich in History”, on the south wall of Capri Shoes at Commonwealth and Malden avenues. Blanco completed the mural in January. The official unveiling will take place at the WELCOME from FULLERTON’S RELIGIOUS CONGREGATIONS ST. PAUL LUTHERAN CHURCH 111 W.

The city’s oldest mural is “Pastoral California”, commissioned during the Great Depression by the Works Project Administration (WPA) and painted in 1934 by Charles Kassler on Fullerton Union High School’s Plummer Auditorium. In 1939, education authorities deemed the mural “inappropriate” and “vulgar” and it was painted over. The proliferation of public art in the last decade has its roots in a 1995 survey undertaken at the Transportation Center, which revealed community interest in public art. That interest solidified into action in 1997, when community volunteers restored Kassler’s fresco at Plummer Auditorium. In 1998, Fullerton’s Public Art Committee formed in cooperation with the Parks and Recreation Commission. That committee, which meets periodically to discuss new projects, now includes representatives from the Fullerton Museum Center, the city’s Redevelopment committees and the Downtown Business Association. According to Aimee Aul, the Fullerton Museum Center’s liaison to the Public Art Committee, the committee has met its goal of one new project per year; in 2008, the city dedicated three new projects. Funding for public art comes from grants, community organization and business donations, and city redevelopment funds. Nine projects from 1994-2004 were financed by the grant-funded Citizens United for Fullerton Safety Do You Have Items You Would Like to Donate? •FIES: Food Distribution Center (714-738-0255) www.fies.us • New Vista Homeless Family Shelter: (714-680-3691) • Interfaith Shelter Network (714-738-0534) •ASSISTANCE LEAGUE Bargain Box Thrift Store: (714-525-1041) 233 W.

EARLY-MARCH 2009 Orange Empire Barbershop Chorus Singing Valentine’s Raise $9,000 About 250 singing Valentines were delivered by quartets of the Orange Empire Barbershop Chorus in this year’s event. After expenses of the price of cards, roses, commemorative photos, traveling, and lunch expenses during the five-day event were subtracted, the net was over $9,000. Funds raised from the annual Singing Valentine event go to support music education in local schools. “We think music is an important part of a good education,” said organizer Art Clayton.

McAulay FD #289 License #190 & #1304 Fullerton Observer Page 17 DAILY CRIME LOG compiled by Jeanne Hoffa Dodgers/Angels Rivalry Turns Bloody at Local Bar Tension sliced through the jovial atmosphere at Two J’s Cocktail Lounge Tuesday, when an encounter between a couple of baseball fans turned into a bloody brawl. A Dodger’s fan and another man sporting the red garb of the Angels, began to share the lounge’s main interior space on Houston Avenue peacefully enough on Feb. 17th. But the friendly rivalry turned ugly when both men headed for the close quarters of the bar’s restroom. “The Angel’s fan made a comment about having to share the bathroom with a Dodger’s fan,” said Fullerton Police Sergeant Mike MacDonald. “Then they got in a fist fight.” Not to be vanquished by a silly fist fight, the Dodger’s fan produced a knife, and plunged it into the Angel’s fan’s ear, neck and arm. The Dodger’s fan then fled the scene. MacDonald said the Angel fan’s wounds were not life threatening. The knifeweilding man is still at large, and the police say they would appreciate any information from patrons of the lounge, or anyone who lives with a Dodger fanatic who came home covered in blood Tuesday. Call the Fullerton Police front desk at 714-738-6715 if you have information on this crime. Pizza Delivery Robbery An armed thug and his female companion shook down a pizza delivery man on the 1600 block of Euclid Street Feb. 17. The Papa Johns delivery man was driving down the alley when a short, chubby Hispanic man approached him and pointed a gun at his chest. The gunman and his dark-haired side kick demanded the pizza and all his cash. The suspect is a clean shaven male, 5’7”, 220 pounds, and wore a gray jacket. Both suspects wore baseball caps. It appears the same dynamic duo snuck up on a Domino’s Pizza Delivery man on the same block on Feb. 12. The driver was headed down the same alley when a man and a woman with a similar description demanded his cash, about $51, and the pizza. In both cases the drivers complied, and left the scene in one piece. “If they get robbed, they gotta give them the pizza,” said Papa John’s Director of Operations Fred Tarazi. “We train them that safety is number one.” Tarazi says the young man continues to work for Papa Johns. The duo have yet to be caught. In the early 1990s there was a police sting operation aimed at stopping a spree of calls for pizza delivery that ended in armed robberies. Call the Fullerton Police front desk at 714-738-6715 if you have information on this crime.
