By Terry Miller Ask anyone across the pond and they’ll probably say that the scoreboard at the stadium in Rustenburg must not have been working very well on Saturday. Evidently this was also the case with England’s goalkeeping in the match against the U.S. in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. The consensus from the capacity crowd of British nationals at Brits Pub was that it had been a “bloody awful game”.

About 250 people including Rolfe Jones, Stewart Suckling and George Ca r ter pict u red above packed Brits Pub on Colorado Saturday morning to watch the games and clearly the Brits were disappointed with England’s performance, despite the game ending in a 1-1 draw. “It should have been one nil if it wasn’t for that (expletive) Green” yelled one hard core England fan, referring to the British goalie, who’s inexplicable blunder allowed the only American goal of the day. A s t he pi nt s went down, so did the spirits of those who expected an easy win over the USA. Despite England ‘s goalkeeper Robert Green giving USA’s Clint Dempsey’s what everyone agreed was a stoppable goal, the game offered genuine evidence that soccer may finally be gaining some steam as a spectator sport within the U.S. All over the world, billions of fans will continue to follow their favorite teams throughout the month-long

The Sunday edition of the New York Post bore a headline that would in most cases be confusing, to say the least.

Dorothy's Place

By Dorothy Denne No, no, no, no folks. I am not 90. I may sometimes feel like I am 90, but I am NOT 90. A couple of weeks ago I did a column about words to live by. I quoted a woman who was 90. I said I was quoting her. I put quotation marks around her words. It didn’t work. At least one reader I know got confused. She thought I was quoting myself. She thought I said I am 90. She commented to a group of mutual friends, “Can you believe Dorothy is 90?” “What?” one answered. “I am older than she is.” Another said, “No she’s not. She is younger than me and I’m only 82.” The confused one said, “But she must be. She said so in her column.” In case anyone else was confused, perhaps it was because a colon was omitted. Whatever.

But no, no, no, no I am not 90. Neither am I retired from writing my weekly column. A colleague, whose name also happens to be Dorothy, is. My friend Dorothy Cunningham retired from writing her weekly social events column in The Star. The Thursday she made her announcement and my ‘90’ column came out; I was standing at the reception desk in the Arcadia Community Center. A dear volunteer came up, put her arm around my shoulder and kindly said, “I’m so sorry you are not going to be writing Dorothy’s Place anymore.” I questioned, “I’m not?” She said, “Well ‘Nellie’ saw an announcement on the internet today that you are retiring..” I replied, “Well, not unless they have fired me and I haven’t gotten the word

yet.”’Nellie’ turned to the computer, clicked it up, and there was the announcement---Dorothy Cunningham was retiring. Since then I’ve heard from others who have heard it is I. Over the years people were often confused between us. I never fully understood that, since our writings had very little in common except they were written by a Dorothy. Maybe it was because both Dorothys are very gorgeous, very well-preserved, and very talented. Would you all please help spread THAT rumor. And, while you’re at it, would you spread the word that I am not 90.

Father’s Day Tribute: My Evening with a Restaurant Critic By Peter Dills It has been said, that there is “no substitute for time.” Only through its passage can many of life’s experiences be fully understood. This Father’s Day I reflect back on a lesson of life and a Father that has ceased to teach and comfort me. I would like to invite you along for a single night with a man that has left this Earthy place but dwells eternally within my heart. The article below was written and published before his passing, a couple of years ago. My entire life has been an eight course meal. In my late teens I had the distinguished position of bagger at the local supermarket, and later with references, I was able to move to Jurgensen’s Gourmet Grocery. There I was to learn about fine wines, exotic cheeses and my kryptonite, dry aged beef. I guess it all started there because at twenty-three I was pretentious about food. For many years I thought that was where it all started for me - there in those markets - but through the years I have come to realize that I was wrong. For many of us it is the famous athlete, or religious figure,

Madeleines, once located in the historic Cheesewright Building, has closed. Chef Claud Beltran opened Noir Food & Wine at 40 N Mentor Ave. for others it is a musical master or the profound artist that they find inspiration and discovery in. How many times in life, if ever, do you get a chance to sit with those that inspire and challenge life with a depth of wisdom? Most will never get the opportunity. If I can claim one prize in this life; I have had the opportunity to observe, speak with and lastly follow in the footsteps of one person that holds that

place for me. They have been labeled “The greatest generation” for a reason and each day another champion from that storied generation of America, “slowly goes into the night.” Many of you know that my Father Elmer Dills was on television and radio for twenty-eight years here in Los Angeles. I had the opportunity to dine and share with my mentor a few weeks ago. I have been out with my

Father at least five hundred times, but as a fine wine, wisdom increases in its depth and flavor as it ages. On this night our adventure took us to Madeleines in Pasadena (since closed). It seems that my dad is a regular there and lately he’s been a little under the weather. I have heard him say nothing but praise of this place, so it’s off to Madelienes. “ Ta b l e f o r t h r e e , please”. On this evening we have my daughter Lauren (the budding Critic), Pops and me. Whenever I see courteous, well-behaved children I know their parents are invariably going to be respectful people. Likewise whenever I get a compliment, I know it goes beyond just me. As we sit to dine, there is no call for attention and gratification, just a smooth easy feeling being in his court. As we talk, I am struck that there is no air of condemnation but rather one of deep respect for the people that more often than not get it right in this business. My dad, the legendary restaurant critic, doesn’t even ask what the ingredients of the dishes are as he orders. He doesn’t re-

quest to see the sommelier. Is he a restaurant critic, I am waiting for a sign? This is just as natural as going to dinner with a group of friends, I think to myself. Madeleines is/was located on Green St. at the bottom of an office building with many different rooms like a Victorian house. There is a patio, a bar, and a large dining room. We sat overlooking the patio with a fireplace that added a perfect touch of ambience. The restaurant is quietly attractive, cozy and well-spaced. What’s more, you even feel a little smarter here, knowing that Albert Einstein often slept upstairs while he was visiting Cal Tech. We began with a cheese plate ($9), nice but it could

My Evening with a Restaurant Critic Continued from Page 5 have used less nuts and more of cheese and crackers. My dad is a creature of habit, just like many of us. He orders the Rack of Lamb. “I just loved it,” he says, just like a young child might. The waiter was kind enough to have it cut for him. Daughter Lauren ordered the Pork Chops and gave it two training thumbs up. Now that is a compliment. Not sure if high heels work in this business though, as you never know when you may encounter a chef that feels you have leveled capricious discourse with your pen on the one hand and possess a frying pan in the other. She will discover soon enough why

I wear running shoes and a sport coat. I order the Spencer Steak, of course I am the difficult one, so once we get the steak the way I wanted it cooked, it vanishes quickly. Back to Dad, the waiter asks, “How was t he meal” and I know 99% of you when asked would give the response, “Fine, Thank You.” Nope, the restaurant critic said, “The lamb chops were great!” “And the dessert was?” A shrugged of the shoulders told it all. That is the honesty and passion that got me involved in this business. Happy Fathers Day, dad. I would never trade sitting across the table from you for anything.

Traveling with My New Olympus Camera

By Greg Aragon Besides a pa sspor t and laptop computer, a camera is the most important thing in my travel pack. Without a good one to capture my getaways, I would be lost. So when I saw a commercial about the newly introduced Olympus PEN E-PL1 digital camera that helps bridge the gap between the serious poi nt - a nd - shoot er a nd professiona l photog ra pher, I k new I had t o investigate. To do this, I got a hold of the camera and took it to the zoo for a test ride. The camera pa ssed t he exa m w it h f lying, brilliant colors, sharp images, and vivid video. Packed in a surprisi n g l y s m a l l c a s e , t he EPL -1 has a retro look and is full of technology normally found in bigger, bulkier DSLR cameras and High Definition (HD) camcorders. It is highlighted by features such as 12.3 megapixels, an innovative Live Guide menu, six art filters, onetouch HD video, built-in pop-up f lash, and interchangeable lenses. T he u n iq u e L i ve Guide in the E-PL1 takes some of the mystery out of g rea t phot og r aphy. Thanks to this feature, users don’t have to know things like f-stops, shutter speed and white balance; they can instantly begin composing and adjusting scenes, using functions s u c h a s “ b r i g h t ne s s ,”

“background blur” and “color saturation”– right on the LCD – before the shot is taken. For creative picture taking, the E-PL1 boasts six built-in Art Filters: pop art, soft focus, grainy film, pin hole, diorama and gentle sephia. These effects can transform ever yday snapshots in to photog raphic works of art. By turning the camera dial “Art” I used the grainy film filter on an elephant and got a beautiful shot that looked like it was taken in the 1950s. And by setting it on pin hole, I got an interesting giraffe head shot peeping through a shadow. Another cool feature of the EPL-1 is one-touch high definition (HD) video recording. Just push

Work Begins on Encanto Bioswale & Nature Walk

Project Funded with $507,990 Grant from Rivers and Mountain Conservancy After a nearly a two year delay, the result of grant funds being frozen by the state — and now released, work has finally begun on the City of Duarte’s Encanto Nature Walk Bioswale and Outdoor Nature Classroom project at Encanto Park. In 2008, the San Gabriel and Lower Los Angeles Rivers and Mountain Conservancy (RMC) granted $507,990 to Duarte for the project, following a planning grant of $150,000 in 2006. In addition to the ecological benefits of the bioswale, the nature walk and outdoor nature classroom will open up educational and recreational opportunities for visitors to the park and the adjacent San Gabriel River. “We’re very excited to be partnering with the Rivers and Mountains Conservancy. The Encanto Nature Walk is destined to be one of the jewels in the regional Emerald Necklace Project. The bioswale will filter the surface water from the park before it reaches the San Gabriel River. The entire proj-

ect will serve as a valuable educational feature for one of Duarte’s most popular parks,” said Duarte Engineering Development Manager, Steve Esbenshade. The 1,000 foot bioswale being constructed along the southern and western perimeter of the park will include interpretive signage, native landscaping and a small infiltration basin to manage storm runoff from the park. The project will also include: *A small outdoor nature center with interpretive displays and an outdoor classroom located at the

south end of Encanto Park funded with $100,000 from Proposition A funds from Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich. The City also contributed $20,000 in matching funds. *Nature trail with interpretive exhibits leading from the nature center along the west bank of the San Gabriel River to a view point located at the end of a berm which projects into the river channel. A principal objective of the project will be to enhance connections between the park and the river.

The City was able to get a head start on the river portion of the project last year utilizing $150,000 in Proposition A funds provided by Los Angeles County Supervisor Gloria Molina. Funds were used to remove a chain link fence and screen of non-native plants that had previously isolated visitors from the attractive river environment. The City involved at-risk youth in the project by contracting with the Los Angeles Conservation Corps. The Conservation Corps workers will also be employed to construct the river trail and viewpoint. America West Landscape, Inc. has been cont racted by t he Cit y to construct the bioswale, nature center and outdoor classroom at a cost of $431,244.90. The entire project is expected to be completed this fall. Duarte’s street maintenance staff will provide long term maintenance for the project and will receive training for native landscape maintenance from Amigos de los Rios.

Monrovia Coordinating Council Recognizes Outstanding Youth Continued from the First Page and mentors, has been associated with the Santa A n it a Y MCA’s Yout h Alliance for the last four years. In that time he has become a voice and advocate for the group which works with at risk youth. Despite coming from a troubled background

“Junior” has become the principal spokesman for the group. As the award presented by the council says, “your Community volunteer efforts, organizational and fundraising skills, you are definitely a source of hope in the resilience of our youth and living proof of the challenges t hat can be overcome with faith and love.

Pasadena Pops Orchestra Music Director, Rachael Worby, kicks off the Pasadena Pops Orchestra season for the Pasadena Symphony Association at its new location at-the-lawn adjacent to the Rose Bowl, Pasadena, at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 19, with a fireworks spectacular, acrobats, and plenty of music. It is a picnic concert. Although you’d think the music would get the top billing, the Pops is subdued when talking about the program except to hint that they will be playing some Bizet(“Carmen”), Tchaikovsky (“Swa n La ke”), K hachat ur ia n (“Gay ne Ballet Suite”), and something listed as Toreadors. This is not the Boston Pops under Arthur Fieldler. Instead, the star of the show by advertising space are the fireworks, and second, Cirque de la Symphonie. This Cirque is a popular act that uses classical music to accentuate its aerial flyers, acrobats, contortionists, dancers, jugglers, balancers and strongmen. They have already performed with 20 symphony orchestras so far

A Tribute to My Father

TheGoodLife By Wally Hage

Father’s Day is June 20, 2010. Most everywhere, people take this opportunity to express their gratitude to their Dads and to tell them just how much they are loved and appreciated. I can remember as a young boy how I idolized my father and studied every move that he made. I would sit in his lap and look at his face, admire his clothes and most of all I treasured his gold watch and chain. I would sit and listen to the ticks of his watch and count the seconds as they tolled off to the next minute. Oh, to be just like my dad was my great desire. He was a strong tender and caring man. I shall always remember the day I ask my father if I could have a watch for my 6th birthday. His response, well, we’ll see son, that is a long time off. That was a yes in my mind and I was so happy. Sometime later, on my birthday, sure enough there was the most beautiful gleaming watch I

had ever seen, chain and all. “Now son,” my Father said, “you must keep it for good ... or you will lose it.” Those words passed by my hearing. My excitement to show it to my friends was all that I could contain and think about. Shortly after receiving the watch I was playing with two playmates, showing and checking the time throughout the day. Later, when it was approaching time to return home for dinner, I reached for my watch but it was gone. I was so frightened to see that it was no longer connected to my belt loop. Oh...what will I do...The many consequences that rushed through my mind were unbearable. My two friends helped me search all around the play area swings to see if it had fallen into the sawdust. Frantically we dug around to no avail. Suddenly, a peace came over me as I murmured a frightened and tearful plea. “Please God help me to find my watch.” Then like lightening I remembered my dad saying. “Quiet Wally, and listen to the beautiful sound of the watch ticking.” Wow. That

was the answer! I yelled to my playmates... “Be Quiet!” as I put my head down onto the sawdust, oh, my, I heard my watch ticking away, and there it was lying under a mound of sawdust. Oh, what Joy flooded over me. No, I didn’t tell my dad about almost losing my new watch that day, but I knew then, that my other “Father” ... God ... had answered the fervent pray of a young boy. My father un-expectantly died of Pneumonia shortly after that memorable incident in my life, but I still treasure that old dollar watch, and I also treasure my many wonderful memories of my Father, and his loving kindness. Yes, and I still idolize him today! Happy Father’s Day Dad! Fathers play a unique and important role in the lives of their children. Championship Fathers aren’t perfect. But as mentors, protectors, and providers, they fundamentally influence the shape and direction of a child’s character. I sincerely wish all of the Fathers across our nation a most loving and happy Father’s Day 2010!
