This year’s June Faire at Sierra Madre’s British Home promises to be even bigger and more British than ever before. The annual event brings together those of us with British heritage and those who love us, as well as those who may be a wee bit curious about what makes the Brits speak and think somewhat differently the average Californian.

Admission is free and local residents are invited to enjoy the beautiful grounds

of The British Home, which serves as the perfect backdrop for the faire.

Now when you get your pot of tea, don’t forget to try one of the many scones with Devon Clotted Cream!

If you’ve never been to the British Home or met any of the residents, now is indeed the time for all good men, women and children to attend this particular party and find out what makes the

the department, recently announced his intent to retire this coming July. His father, Tom Moore, served as assistant fire chief in Pasadena. Two of Kevin’s brothers currently work for the Vernon Fire Department.

As a senior fire engineer, Moore was responsible for maintaining and driving fire apparatus, ensuring his crew arrived to incidents safely. His responsibilities also included operating the fire engine pump and fire truck aerial ladder during fire and rescue situations.

As a member of the Regional Task Force Urban Search & Rescue Team, Moore worked out

of Station 32, 2424 E. Villa St., for more than 10 years.

“Kevin was known as a gentle giant; he sported a large stature and had a sincere, gentle demeanor,” said Pasadena Fire Chief Dennis Downs. “We just returned from an annual motorcycle ride where Kevin shared that he was looking forward to retirement and spending time with his kids.”

Moore is survived by his father, his wife Connie, two teenage children, six brothers and one sister. He was a long-time resident of Upland.

Pasadena Fire Station flags will fly at half-staff until Moore’s burial.

BY DOROTHY DENNE I received an e-mail about the history of aprons.

It said to pass it on to those who might not remember aprons or maybe not even know what aprons are. (Are there really such poor souls?)

Well, I do know and remember. So, I’ve mixed in some of my 1930s and ‘40s, memories of my Mom’s and Aunt Jessie’s aprons. I share them with you, whichever category you’re in.

The principal use of Mom’s and Aunt Jessie’s apron was to protect the dress underneath, because they each only had a few.

It was easier to wash aprons than dresses and they used less material. Also, the apron served as a handy potholder

for removing hot pans from the oven. (The oven, by the way, had no thermostat and it was fueled by wood.)

The apron was wonderful for drying children’s tears, and on occasion was even used for cleaning out dirty ears.

From the chicken coop, the apron was used for carrying eggs, fussy chicks, and sometimes half-hatched eggs to be finished in the warming oven.

When company came, those aprons were ideal hiding places for shy kids. And when the weather was cold, the wearer would pull it up and wrap it around her arms.

Those big old aprons wiped many a perspiring brow, bent over the hot wood stove. Chips and kindling wood were brought into the kitchen in that apron.

From the garden, it carried all sorts of vegetables.

After the peas had been shelled, it carried out the

hulls. In the Fall, the apron was used to bring in apples that had fallen from the trees.

When unexpected company drove up the road, it was surprising how much furniture that old apron could dust in a matter of seconds.

When dinner was ready, Mom or Aunt Jessie walked out onto the porch, rang the big dinner bell, waved her apron and the men knew it was time to come in from the fields to dinner (You have to know, dinner was the mid-day meal. In Mom’s and Aunt Jessie’s era we ate Breakfast in the morning, Dinner at mid-day and Supper in the evening.)

It will be a long time before someone invents something that will replace that ‘old-time apron’ that served so many purposes. We would go crazy now trying to figure out how many germs were on that apron. I don’t think I ever caught anything from an apron but love!!!

BY SUSAN MOTANDER It takes passion to make a difference and Michael Cusick is passionate about music. He may not be pursuing his passion professionally, but he sill cares about his original love.

When Cusick realized that the new Monrovia Public Library had very few materials for music education, he didn’t complain as others might do. He also did not just shrug it off and assume there was nothing he could do by himself.

Cusick found something to do. He discovered that his alma mater, the Berklee College of Music had grant opportunities. He wrote the grant application himself. If you have never written one, I can assure you it is not an easy task.

Now as the result of this one person perceiving a problem, finding a solution and pursuing it, the Library has a new collection of CDs and DVDs pertaining to music education.

Cusick’s dedication will not stop with the receipt of the materials. He has also committed to working with the schools and the community to make everyone aware of the existence of the CDs and DVDs. As part of the grant he has promised to dedicate at least 50 hours to the project, and this on top of his regular work.

Who says one person cannot make a difference?

This Sunday at Lou Bredlow Pavilion presents ‘Playboy Jazz at Warner Park’ a free concert offering a diverse mix of jazz and entertainment June 5th, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The free event, held in conjunction with the upcoming Playboy Jazz Festival, Saturday and Sunday, June 11th and 12th, at the Hollywood Bowl, is also part of the Valley Cultural Center’s “Concerts on the Green” series.

The Nikhil Korula Band from Arcadia blends the sounds of calypso, rock, reggae, African and Latin grooves, the Nikhil Korula Band has been gathering worldwide attention one fan at a time. From their diverse backgrounds and musical influences, this unique sextet infuses extraordinary musicianship with irresistible dance jams, a combination that has been selling out such iconic venues as the House of Blues, Temple Bar, Knitting Factory and Viper Room.

Due to its ever-increasing fan following, this vibrant musical act has traveled all over the world playing festivals, performing on college campuses and jamming at clubs, both big and small. In the 6 years they have been together, the NK Band has been honored to play with some of today’s most accomplished performers as John Mayer, Jason Mraz, Los Lonely Boys, Tim Reynolds, Dave Matthews Band, O.A.R, Page McConnell of PHISH, The Roots, The Calling, Colin Hay (Men At Work), Rusted Root, Colbie Caillat, Les Claypool, Sara Bareilles, Erykah Badu, The Roots and many more. At the time of their inception, a few band members even played in a tribute concert for rock legend Carlos Santana, featuring Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter.

Classically trained in

voice from the age of 5, founding frontman Nikhil Korula lent his dulcet tones to sing with the likes of opera giants such as Placido Domingo and pop stars Barry Manilow and the late Luther Vandross and even sang for one of Danny Elfman’s film scores in addition to performing at the 32nd Annual Grammy® Awards with Mike and the Mechanics. However, his creative talents drew him to the intense world of jazz and improvisation which led to his playing many acoustic sets throughout Los Angeles. This experience in turn helped him to collaborate with some of the city’s finest jazz musicians to form the Nikhil Korula Band (NK Band).

The music of the NK Band soars seamlessly across a world of influences, lifting listeners to a plane of joy and positivity. Through their electrifying concerts the band pushes musical boundaries with its improvisation, making each live performance unforgettable. As a result, the enthralled audience is left with a feeling they will never forget.

In their first year of performing together, the band sold out of their first EP, a 5 song CD that still makes waves on the college scene.

This success propelled the NK Band to record a fulllength album at Ocean Way Studios in Hollywood, following in the footsteps of incredible recent recording artists, Beck, Paul McCartney and Radiohead. The intricately crafted songs on their studio album, The Way Things Work, underscore the band’s message of love, honor, peace and promise, most needed in our troubled time. In the short time of its existence, several NK Band tracks from their latest release, LIVE VIBES (If I Could, All Up To You, Lift

Your Head, Livin’, Sunrise and Love Will Make Your Day) have been played on AAA and college radio stations around the country and all over the world. With dedicated fans, exceptional live shows, and consistently remarkable songwriting, the Nikhil Korula Band continues to have a remarkable effect and amazing impact on audiences globally.

Grammy-nominated artists Patrice Rushen and Ndugu Chancler (1+One), and special guest guitarist Doc Powell, will headline the concert, which now attracts thousands of fans since its debut four years ago. Also featured will be Johnny Polanco Y Su Conjunto Amistad; the Nikhil Korula Band; and the Calabasas High School Jazz Band under the direction of Joshua Barroll, which will open the show. Admission to Playboy Jazz at Warner Park is free. In addition to entertainment, 20 local eateries will provide a diverse array of food and beverages for sale. A children’s play zone will feature inflatable bouncers, clowns, face painting and balloon artists.

A top jazz pianist, vocalist and composer, Patrice Rushen has performed with such stellar artists as Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, Prince, Nancy Wilson, Carlos Santana, among others. Her signature fusion of jazz, pop and R&B, has made Rushen one of the most sought after artists in the music industry today. Best known for her mega-hit ‘Forget Me Nots,’ she served as the first female musical director for many of the entertainment industry’s top award shows, including The Grammys, The Emmys, The People’s Choice Awards, The NAACP Image Awards and HBO’s “Comic Relief V.” Rushen

gram in the county, and has become a national model.

He asks his subjects to NOT smile when he photographs them for the painting.

The reason is bring forth the essence and not the forced smile so often seen in photographs.

Population is a unique

gathering of over 200 portraits of Southern California residents painted over the past four years by Pasadena artist Ray Turner.

Turner has spent the spring of 2011 painting dozens of individuals to represent the rich, diverse commu-

nity of Long Beach, including elected officials, philanthropists, artists and a host of Long Beach citizens encountered in our everyday lives.

The exhibit also will feature some prominent Pasadena residents with whom Turner has spent many hours.

Turner has focused his career on the human face with the objective of creating a narrative between the viewer and the subject. Turner paints his subjects from photographs he has taken with a concentration on their essence as opposed to their features. Rather than a photographic survey, Turner’s expressionistic portraits reveal the psychological drama and emotional fabric, intrinsic and specific to Long Beach and Pasadena.

Friend and fellow artist Frank Gallagher (also know as the Poet of Pots) of All Industrial Arts in San Marino told Beacon Media “Ray Turner is going to be big, - very big- one of the most important artists of this century. You simply have to see his work and experience his passion for portraits.” We

concur. Thank you Frank.

The artist paints each portrait directly on ¼ inch or thicker glass with strong brushstrokes that come from a highly trained eye. The transparency of the glass creates a surface which reflects the viewer and the environment, while its materiality speaks to the inner fragility.

We recently sat down with Turner at his studio in Pasadena and got a glimpse of what will undoubtedly become some of the most important works of his career.

The happy, charming and eloquent Turner is also humble man who’s sensitive and yet strong paint strokes confirm the passion with which he paints his portraits.

Flux plays an integral role in the conceptual underpinnings of Ray Turner’s work according to a press release issue by Long Beach Museum of Art . “ As these works travel and are exhibited to nationwide audiences and locations, local residents are integrated into the body of work adding new layers to the growing “Population”.

Assembly Passes Portantino’s Bill to Bring Goals, Objectives and Accountabilty Standards to California’s Public Universities and Colleges Continuing his fight for reform and accountability, Assemblymember Anthony Portantino’s (D-La Cañada Flintridge) Higher Education Accountability bill has been approved by the State Assembly.

AB 2 establishes a report card on public colleges and universities that would streamline information on the successes or deficiencies of the state’s three higher

The Doozies

education systems. The bill would provide more information for parents, students, faculty and administrators at the University of California, California State University and the California Community Colleges. This is Assemblymember Portantino’s latest attempt at higher education accountability, he introduced similar legislation last year.

“It is imperative that during these tough economic

times we maximize our limited resources,” explained Assemblymember Portantino.

“Goals, objectives and accountability standards for our three higher education segments are a great place to put this concept into practice. For most students and their families, the decision on where to go to college is one of the most important choices they will make in their lifetime.

We owe it to them to have

valid data that gives them confidence in our world class colleges and universities.”

AB 2 provides a common language to compare success rates among the various public colleges and universities. The legislation has the backing of all three public university systems as well as strong, bi-partisan support.

AB 2 will be heard later this summer in the Senate.

PAC Chair (CA-32): “The news that Charles Fahy deliberately withheld information that concluded the Japanese Americans on the West Coast did not pose a military threat is a travesty of transparency and justice.

Because of Fahy’s actions, Japanese Americans were ripped away from their homes and families and placed in prison camps. I strongly commend the courage Acting Solicitor General Kaytal for admitting the mistakes of his predecessor, and shining a light on this dark place in our history and apologizing on behalf of the United States Department of Justice.”

Rep. Mike Honda (CA-15), CAPAC Chair Emeritus: “As one of the 110,000 Japanese Americans who were forced into internment camps during World War II, I applaud Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal’s admission of his predecessors’ misconduct in their defense of Executive Order 9066. While it has since been proven that Japanese Americans did not constitute a military threat, the extent to which top government officials went to skirt the constitution in order to incarcerate tens

of thousands of American families is still coming out.

The misinformed few who still argue that the internment was justified should learn from this long overdue admission. With his comments, Acting Solicitor General Katyal returned the dignity, professionalism, and respect to his office that his predecessors trampled on nearly 70 years ago—and for that I thank him.”

Rep. Doris Matsui (CA-5): “Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal has confirmed what we have known for almost 60 years, that Japanese-Americans were not a threat to the United States in World War II. Japanese-American citizens, just as all immigrants to this country, have a deep sense of patriotism and love for our country. Hundreds of Japanese-Americans bravely served in World War II while their friends and families were interned.

To unilaterally strip thousands of Americans of their rights will forever be a scar on our nation’s history and serve as a pressing reminder about how we must always stand up for our constitutionally guaranteed civil liberties.”

Final Citizen Journalism Speaker Series Hosts Susan Henederson June 7, 2010 at Pasadena Public Library

The popular Citizen Journalism Speaker Series concludes next Tuesday when local publisher Susan Henerson takes the stage to discuss her role at The Mountain Views News.

Always keenly concerned about the quality of life in the community surrounding her, she has served on dozens of Boards and

led a variety of community organizations. She has been awarded numerous awards and honors including recognition from the California Assembly for her work with Senior Housing and Community Development while living in Northern California. At present, she is the President of the Sierra Madre Kiwanis Club and on the Board of Directors of the Sierra Madre Chamber of Commerce and the Foothill Creative Arts Group.

Susan Henderson has been a published author for over ten years, writing columns and articles on golf and life in such publications as the Los Angeles Sentinel and Core Media Publications, The Sierra Madre, Arcadia and Monrovia Weekly and The Pasadena Independent.

In 2006, along with a partner, she started the Mt. Wilson Observer, a weekly publication focused on community news and events.

That venture ended less than a year later.

In 2007, she branched out on her own and established Grace Lorraine Publications, Inc. which acquired the MVNews Magazine. She then created what is now known as The Mountain Views News, a weekly community newspaper that serves Sierra Madre, Pasadena, Altadena, Arcadia, Monrovia and Duarte.

Henderson says her greatest accomplishment is being “Grandma” For details on the event check the Pasadena Community Network’s website.

As the main songwriters in one of the world’s most

enduring and diverse musical groups, they’ve accumulated an outstanding collection of tunes. Their songs have been covered by various recording artists including Waylon Jennings, Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, and Robert Plant. Los Angeles Times opines “…

The theaterwork will be developed and written by Pérez, About…Productions’ Artistic Director Theresa Chavez and Associate Director Rose Portillo.

Dreier Votes for Defense Authorization Measure Congressman David Dreier (R-CA) voted today in support of H.R. 1540, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012. This bill authorizes continued funding for our troops deployed abroad.

H.R. 1540, which ensures American troops overseas in Afghanistan, Iraq and around the world have the equipment, resources, and training they need to successfully complete their missions and return home safely, was approved with overwhelming bipartisan support 322-96.

“Our brave men and

women in uniform serving and defending us at home and abroad deserve the full backing of Congress and the American people,” Dreier said. “This bipartisan legislation ensures that our troops and their families have the equipment, resources, training, and time they need to successfully complete their missions and return home.”

H.R. 1540 authorizes $553 billion for the Department of Defense’s base budget, including $119 billion for overseas contingency operations. The measure also authorizes re-

sources and equipment to protect our troops, including $2.8 billion to develop technologies to defeat improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and $3.2 billion for Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles.

In addition, H.R. 1540 authorizes a 1.6 percent pay increase for Armed Forces personnel, ensures that troops returning from deployment have sufficient time at home and enhances treatment for mental health and traumatic brain injuries.

Monrovia Interim Police Chief Jim Hunt Offers Residents Suggestions on How to Minimize Vehicle Burglaries In last week’s edition of the Monrovia Weekly, a Monrovia resident who was the victim of a vehicle burglary made some statements about police staffing levels for Patrol in the City of Monrovia. I am writing this letter to better inform the Monrovia Weekly readers about some questions raised in the article regarding Monrovia Police Department staffing levels and to pass on some information to help you minimize your risk of becoming the victim of a vehicle burglary.

The article was about a Monrovia resident who had her car broken into and her laptop computer, which was in the vehicle, was stolen.

The victim stated in the article that police officer staffing levels for Patrol are down in Monrovia due to the recession. This is not true. 15 years ago, the Monrovia Police Department established recommended staffing levels for the number of officers we have in the field. Those recommended staffing levels are based on the number of calls for service the department handles and the population of our city. The department’s staffing level per population and call volume is consistent with or better than other cities in the San Gabriel Valley because the City is committed to providing a high level of service to our citizens. We have continued to maintain our recommended staffing levels in Patrol, despite budget cutbacks due to the recession.

Crime has gone down over the last year in the City of Monrovia. Despite this

fact, our city, like any city in our area, has citizens victimized by vehicle burglars. Vehicle burglary and theft from vehicles are common crimes, and usually the thieves are opportunists looking for easy targets to steal valuables. The vast majority of thefts from vehicles reported in the City of Monrovia are from vehicles that were not locked or vehicles where valuables were left visible inside the vehicle.

Thieves walk the streets and parking lots of the City, both during the day and at night, looking inside cars for valuables and checking the doors of vehicles to see if they are unlocked. If you see someone looking into parked vehicles or checking the door handles on vehicles, please immediately report this suspicious activity to the police department. Citizens reporting this type of suspicious behavior are our best resource for identifying and apprehending these criminals.

Here are some tips to help minimize your chances of becoming the next victim of a vehicle burglary: Never leave valuables in your vehicle and especially not visible in the vehicle.

Do not leave your vehicle unlocked. It only takes a few seconds for a thief to steal items from an unlocked vehicle, even if those items are in the trunk.

Do not leave the cradles that hold GPS units, cell phones or their charging cords visible in the vehicle.

These are hints to thieves that a phone or GPS unit might be somewhere in the vehicle.

Do not assume that hid-

ing valuables under an item of clothing on the floorboard of your vehicle will deter a thief. Clothing on a floorboard of a vehicle may cause a thief to break in to see what might be hidden underneath.

If you are shopping at a large shopping mall and you need to put some of the items you have purchased in your vehicle and then continue shopping, place the items in the trunk of your vehicle, get into the vehicle and drive to another location in the parking lot and then return to your shopping. Thieves will often observe activity in a shopping mall parking lot to look for vehicles they can steal valuables from.

Please report suspicious activity to the police. You can contact the Monrovia Police Department to report an emergency by calling 911 from your cell phone when you are in the city limits. You can call the Monrovia Police Department Dispatch directly from your cell phone by dialing our cell watch number (626) 357-CELL (2355), or you can reach us at our non-emergent business number (626) 256-8000.

If you have any information about the theft of this woman’s laptop and the burglary of her vehicle on King Street in Monrovia, please report it to the Monrovia Police Department. You can also make anonymous crime tips to us through CrimeStoppers at (800) 222-TIPS (8477).

The Arcadia American Little League Angels Complete a Memorable Season Little League Angels Beat Pirates 4 to 1 in Final Game

T

he Arcadia American Little League Angels completed a memorable season May 21 by defeating the Pirates, 4-1, at Windsor Field to win the Prep Division Championship of the annual AALLArcadia National Little League playoff tournament for players ages 6-9.

The Angels were led

by Michael Gruppie, who helped pitch and bat the Halos to the title. In the championship game, he was the winning pitcher, allowing no runs and no hits while striking out eight batters in three scoreless innings of relief of starter Matt McIntire, who also struck out eight in three innings.

Gruppie was also 2 for 2 at the plate, and scored the winning run after hitting a triple to lead off the fifth inning when the Angels scored three times

to break a 1-1 tie. Catcher Will Covey had the gamewinning run batted in.

Winning the tournament did not come easy for the Angels, who earned a berth in the title game only after winning the loser’s bracket and playing six games in 12 days going into the final.

Pitching was the key for the champions, as they allowed no more than three runs in any tournament game, no-hit and shut out one opponent and held three teams, including the hard-hitting Pirates, to a single run. Gruppie pitched in all but one of the Angels’ playoff games during the twoweek, double elimination tournament and did not allow a run in 15 1/3 innings.

McIntire earned two key playoff wins including a

tense 3-2 semifinal victory over the

AALL A’s May 19 when he struck out the final batter with the poten-

tial tying run at

third base.

First baseman Nick Patton and outfielder Tommy Traver also had key fifth-inning RBIs for the Angels in the title game.

That provided the Angels, who out-hit the Pirates, 8-3 , their ultimate threerun margin of victory. Covey’s RBI was his second of the game and gave the Angels their first lead since the first inning when he scored third baseman Lucas Conley on another ground out. The Pirates came right back with a run in the bottom of the first and the score remained tied until the Angels’ three-run rally in the fifth.

The Angels were managed by Don McIntire and coached by Guy Gruppie,

Sr., Sam Salazar, Scott Conley and A.K. Traver.

The other members of the championship team are Sammy Campagna, Jese Chen, Ziran Gomez, Guy Gruppie, Jr., Jackson Hisey, Deven Salazar and Rene Urrea.

The Pirates, managed by Mike Rizzo and coached by Steve Gewecke, were led Saturday by Kellen Gewecke, who had two hits including a double, and Ryan Rizzo, who had the team’s other hit. The Pirates had easily advanced to the tournament final by winning three straight games behind the strong play of Gewecke, Rizzo, Kevin Lima, Brandon Williams and Drake Jackson. Williams homered twice, and Jackson once, in the Pirates” victory over the AALL A’s in the winner’s bracket semifinal that earned the Pirates a berth in the championship.

Metro has been conducting geotechnical tests along the planned two-mile underground route of the Regional Connector light rail line connecting the Metro Gold Line, Blue Line and future Expo Line through Downtown LA.

> Ground was broken last summer on the first phase, an 11.4-mile extension, from Sierra Madre Villa in Pasadena east with stops in Arcadia, Duarte, Irwindale, Monrovia and two in Azusa.

> The route connects with the Metro Blue and Expo lines at 7th Street/Metro Center Station and with the Metro Gold Line at Alameda Street.

> The project is being constructed in two segments; Phase 2A, from East Pasadena through Azusa; Phase 2B, from Glendora to Montclair.

> The Regional Connector will save approximately 20 minutes of travel time by eliminating passenger transfers through Downtown LA.

A Memorable Memorial Day Weekend

Continued from page 4

BY SUSAN MOTANDER

The condor training planes fly over Live Oak Cemetery as part of Monday’s Memorial Day tribute from the Allied Veterans Council.

The Memorial Day Weekend is the unofficial beginning of the summer season. It is the time when wearing white shoes is suddenly acceptable.

In Monrovia it is the time for two annual events: the Immaculate Conception Fiesta and the Allied Veterans Council’s ceremony at Live Oak Memorial Park. Two more diverse events are hard to imag-

ine. The IC Fiesta is gaiety and family fun, a carnival with music and food and beer. The remembrance ceremony at the cemetery is more solemn.

Perhaps my favorite day of the fiesta every year is Sunday. During that afternoon, the mariachis and folklorico dancers take center stage. This year was no exception. The crowds hearts are stolen every year

by the youngest dancers especially some of the little boys some of whom look they have been forced into the routines by older siblings. And the tiniest girls are just charming as they to emulate their older counterparts.

As always the food at the fiesta is as varied as the members of the parish.

You can find carne asada tacos next to the pizza stand and lumpia across the aisle from the tri tip sandwiches.

There is something for everyone, again not unlike the church itself.

In contrast to the festive atmosphere of fiesta, the mood is more introspective and contemplative. The keynote speaker this year was Sgt. Daniel Smith, formerly US Army, now serving in the National Guard. After reminding the large crowd

Chancler (who was the featured drummer on both Thriller and Bad), has recorded with such re n o w n e d talents as Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, Lionel Richie and Miles Davis, to name a few.

They will be joined onstage by special guest, Grammynominated guitarist Doc Powell, whose signature sound can be heard on many of the premier recordings in pop, R&B, jazz and Gospel. Powell has recorded with some of the biggest names in music including: Aretha Franklin, George Duke, Bob James, George Benson, Patti Labelle and Vanessa Williams, to name a few.

Sure to ignite the crowd with their hot Latin Salsa rhythms, is one of the hottest ‘party’ bands around, Johnny Polanco Y Su Conjunto Amistad. The dynamic bandleader and his group have toured all over the world, performing at many

BETWEEN TWO WORLDS When All Is Said And Dunn

BY BILL DUNN We humans can be a very gullible group when we choose to be. If more than two people believe that something is true, it becomes a movement or at the very least, it warrants producing a reality TV show.

The other night, when my daughter Rachel was home from college, she wrangled my wife Stacey and I into watching a reality show called “T.A.P.S. - Ghost Hunters”. T.A.P.S. stands for The Atlantic Paranormal Society. Apparently it was a marathon, which initially I thought would be fun.

Having always been a sucker for anything dealing with the paranormal, I bought the ticket and was in for the ride. All I could do was hope for the best. Who knows, maybe there would be some startling revelation or a way to get a message to the other side. There are a few folks over there that I wouldn’t mind having a chat with if the possibility arose.

The show follows the usual format of investigative shows. The investigation, the pursuit, the analysis, and the findings. The one thing I kept wondering about is all the very high tech equipment they were using. The biggest question being is where do they get all this stuff?

During the show they broke one of their E.M.F. gages. (F.Y.I. : E.M.F. stands for Electro Magnetic Field, but don’t ask.) Well, when it broke their reaction was one of “Oh well, we will just run out get another one.”

Where? Target? Kmart?

Best Buy? Ghosts ‘R Us? Now “T.A.P.S.-Ghost Hunters” is not the only game in town and should not be confused with the other spirits haunting the television airwaves. There are quite a few. You’ve got “Most Haunted”, “Haunted America”, “Haunted Travel”, “Celebrity Ghost Story”, “My Ghost Story”, “Ghostly Graveyards” and my son Alex’s favorite “Ghost Adventures”. Trust me this is nowhere near a complete list.

As I discovered after a brief conversation with Alex, people have a tendency to become loyal to their paranormal shows. In his mind, Ghost Hunters couldn’t rattle

Ghost Adventures’ chains.

Having watched both shows I wasn’t exactly sure why his loyalty was based there, but to each his own.

But back to the gullible part of this article. Granted, believing in ghosts, spirits, and the paranormal is a tough sell. It requires a giant leap of faith for most. According to the latest poll, 78% of us don’t buy into it. But that also means that there are 22% that think that it is true.

Despite the number of shows on cable the ghost movement needs to get some hardcore press in order to move it to the front of the world wide consciousness.

You know like the recent waste of everyone’s time over the pending end of the world or “The Rapture” to those in the apocalyptic know. I was absolutely stunned and annoyed by the amount of coverage it was receiving the week before our impending demise.

It always mystifies me when the news media sets their sights on a given story regardless of its origins. In this case it was because an 89 year old ex-Sunday school teacher named Harold Egbert Camping, who happens to have a radio show, said it would happen. He came

to his revelation by taking a few passages from the bible and applying some good old fashion numerology mumbo jumbo to it.

When it didn’t happen on the date and time planned, which it obviously didn’t, he did what every good con artist does, he changed the date.

Until everyone loses interest and by everyone I mean the press, we will keep following his predictions blindly.

Why anybody would listen to this guy’s babbling in the first place is amazing to me. Since when does teaching Sunday school qualify somebody to predict anything except maybe what time the class will end?

As much as I want to believe in ghosts, for me there needs to be more definitive proof. So far all we have witnessed from any of these shows are blurry shadows, garbled disembodied voices, and goofy hosts running around like a bunch of giddy kindergarteners. Trust me, when there is something that is even close to proof, the news media will be all over it.

Until then I will have to be stuck between two worlds.

Somewhere between Ghost Hunters and Adventures.

I say....The British Home's June Fair this Saturday Continued from page 1 British tick.

The British Home in California, Ltd. is a very unique life care facility. It was formally opened in 1931 by a group of British women affiliated with The Daughters of the British Empire (D.B.E.) in the Western District. Their vision of a place where elderly people could be cared for in a warm and kind environment continues to this day. On September 22, 1931, Sir John Adams, Consul General of Great Britain, formally opened the British Home. Mrs. Florence Shaefer of Long Beach donated the money for the second resident cottage. The cottage was named after her, and this building today houses nine residents. Its front verandah, facing Manzanita Avenue, provides a cool and shady spot in the late afternoon. In 1934, Mr. Harry J. Foskett of Pacific Palisades donated the

SALES INSTALLATION REFINISHING

money necessary to purchase the lot behind Shaefer Cottage, which fronted on Ramona Avenue, and built the nine room cottage which is there today.

Queen Elizabeth has visited The British Home as have many British dignitaries over the years.

Colorful booths are put up in stiff, albeit friendly, competition by the Daughters of the British Empire.

These booths offer games, refreshments and all things British. The best dressed or most colorful/inventive booth wins a prize each year after a group of judges has a chance to peruse the wares of the DBE. Throughout the Faire displays of Scottish and Irish dancing as well as a performance by the Rising Phoenix Morris Dancers will keep things lively. Children can enjoy a sticky wall, bouncy

castle, face painting and game booths.

The British Consul-General, Dame Barbara Hay, will open the Faire at 10 a.m. following A parade of flags which will be accompanied by a Scottish bagpiper. There will be a variety of booths selling books, garden plants, birdhouses, jewelry, collectibles, cards and lots more. Refreshment choices all emphasize the British influence on the Faire from English bangers, a Victorian style tea on the patio or a ploughman’s lunch to home-baked goods including sausage rolls, Cornish pasties, cakes and scones.

Last year Sierra Madre Police Chief Marilyn Diaz was on hand to not only keep the peace during the mad dash for the Sausage Rolls but help translate her counterpart from across the pond

who typically called a ‘Bobby ‘in the UK. In September The British Home will celebrate 80 years of providing personalized care to its residents. It is a nonprofit organization which, as a licensed Residential Care Facility for the Elderly, welcomes seniors who come from all nationalities, races and religions.

If you feel you need an interpreter, I would strongly suggest bringing along a terrific book….”Divided by a Common Language” or better yet, ask Bobby who will be stationed at the entrance of the British Home on June 4.

The Home is located at 647 Manzanita Avenue, Sierra Madre.

JUNE 2, 2011 - JUNE 8 , 2011 19

Life Remembered Ednah “Thea” Roberts 1928 - 2011 Ednah “Thea” Roberts, daughter of Edith Mortensen Remington and John William Scales passed away on May 12, 2011 of natural causes, in her own home, in Midvale, Utah, as was her wish. She is mourned by 2 sons Richard Leland Thorpe Jr. of North Las Vegas, Nevada, and Christopher Weston Roberts Sr. of Midvale, Utah, 7 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren.

Mom, Grandma, Great Grandma we will miss you.

Thea was born in Los Angeles, California, and grew up in Southern California. She attended BYU and Cal Poly where she received her degree. She then worked for the State of California as an Employment Specialist, where she cataloged job descriptions for the California Workforce system.

Thea was a member of the Monrovia, California Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints from its inception in the 1930’s, where she was the first baptism performed in the new ward, until 10 years prior

to her death. Most recently she was a member of the Union Fort Second Ward.

She was an avid genealogist, and a compassionate person. She exemplified the scripture “I was an hungered and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: naked and ye clothed me” (Matthew 25:35-36). After her retirement she took care of her ailing mother until her death in 1998 and made and donated hundreds of sandwiches every week for the local homeless shelter. This earned her the

nickname “The Sandwich Lady”.

Thea and her family would like to thank the Millcreek Home Health and Hospice staff of nurses and aides, as well as Heather and John for the years of service on both Home Health and then Hospice, for the compassion and true love that was shown her. Also we would like to thank Alta Ridge Assisted Living in Sandy for the good care and compassion of the entire staff during her difficult days. A special thank you to Christie, her Hospice nurse for making her laugh when she wanted to cry and to Judy, her neighbor, for years of bringing in the mail and taking out the trash.

Services were held Saturday, May 21, 2011, at the Union Fort Second Ward Building located at 540 East 7200 South, Midvale, Utah.

Viewing at 10:00 am followed by Services at 11:00 am. Interment will be in the Midvale City Cemetery. www.goffmortuary.com

A Memorable Memorial Day Weekend Continued from page 10 of the many battles from Yorktown through Kabul in which young Americans have paid the ultimate price, Smith said “They did it because they love this country.”

He also reminded the crowd of the words of General George S. Patton who was quoted as saying that a soldier acts as he does “not because he hates what is before him, but rather because he loves what is behind him.

While many look forward to the noisy fly over

of the condors, the vintage air force training planes, there is something stirring about the slow process of the placing of wreaths in honor of the fallen. After laying the wreath in honor of the 18th District Honor Guard of the American Legion, the group’s chaplain, Joseph J. Vainor was greeted enthusiastically by the crowd when he called out “God Bless America.”

That seemed to sum up the mood of those in attendance.

After the program,

Vainor explained that he had been in a naval band during World War II, but that because his grandfather had been taken captive by the Japanese when he was serving in the Tzar’s Imperial Navy during the Russian-Japanese War in 1905, it was important to him to serve in the Pacific. “I discovered that only buglers were being sent to the Pacific,” Vainor said and so he taught himself to play the bugle. “I did get in a few licks for grandpa,” he explained.
