Folk roots revival

Well, it seems they don’t know how to take care of themselves — or frequently don’t bother. Dr. Harvey Cohen’s advice for men’s health month.

Silenced for the last two years, Claremont’s Folk Festival makes a much-anticipated return this June 15 with a seemingly well-paired venue partner, the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden. The partnership means music, workshops, food, beer and incredible natural surroundings.

Carla Sanders ...

Riverside folks likely won’t want to share the secret, but we will. This delightful bakery and cafe serves up delicious food and treats in a comfortable setting.

You may want to make a day of it — tour a museum, stroll downtown and head over to the Canyon Crest Towne Centre for lunch.

If you know Carla, you know she’s never at a loss for words — but sometimes the words, themselves, leave her at a loss.

Cruise on over Story by JERRY RICE Photos by THOMAS CORDOVA

ith elements of the Route 66 Rendezvous and “American Graffiti,” the NHRA Motorsports Museum’s Twilight Cruise is a haven for owners and fans of classics, hot rods and vintage race cars.

While it’s billed as a “cruise,” in reality there’s not a lot of cruisin’ going on.

Instead, the owners drive their pricey beauties into the lot on the Fairplex grounds, follow instructions on where to park, raise the hoods to expose showroom-clean engines, then spend the afternoon visiting with friends.

“We get together with a lot of people every time we come,” says Tom Evans of Hacienda Heights, who arrived at last month’s event in a sparkling red Buick Super Convertible that is likely more eye-catching today than it was when it rolled off the assembly line in 1946.

“Many of us grew up in the 1950s and early ‘60s and shared the same experiences with cars when we were younger — drag racing, cruising driveins and restaurants.”

The pre-1972 vehicles at the Twilight Cruise are real lookers. About 300 of

them are featured in any given month, says John Duran, who organized the first outing about 12 years ago with then-museum director Steve Gibbs. Duran still coordinates each show and chooses a theme — customs one time, perhaps woodies the next — then calls the appropriate owners and invites them to participate.

“Every month is unique,” he says.

“I try to find something new that people will enjoy.”

One thing that everybody shares is a love of cars, and, for the owners, a willingness to open their checkbooks to fuel their passion.

Thumper McDowell has done just that many times for his 1950 Mercury Custom Convertible, which he purchased 25 years ago for $4,000. After investing another $6,000 to get it looking and operating like he wanted, the Pomona resident has spent the years since then driving it to major car shows and other events all over the continent including Lake Louise in Canada, Louisiana and points in between.

At the Twilight Cruise, it was a shiny red showpiece. Says McDowell: “I don’t want to count up what I’ve put into it since I bought it.”

In the process, she made a remarkable discovery – igniting the human spirit is essential to overcome any challenge. This still rings true today as we help patients regain their strength and independence after strokes, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, and other disabling conditions. For the past 75 years, we’ve helped thousands of people with different needs reach their goals.

male patterns

Do the maintenance Story By SUZANNE SPROUL

M

en need to take time to manage their health. Health issues tend to multiply as one ages and many men just seem to forget or ignore that — and they shouldn’t. Some health risks, including heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes, are equal-opportunity concerns for both men and women.

But there are issues which men, in particular, should be aware of in order to fine-tune their lifestyles and maximize long-term health.

Men’s and women’s preventative maintenance health strategies are similar. “But there are things that are different, obviously,” said Dr. Harvey Cohen, board certified in internal medicine and geriatrics. He also is the president of the medical staff at San Antonio Community Hospital in Upland.

“As we all age, we need to be concerned about high blood pressure, cholesterol, obesity and diabetes. High blood pressure and diabetes can happen to anyone.

“And cholesterol problems don’t just start at age 50 or 60. At least, though, you can take steps to correct it. But then men, of course, should do self exams and be screened for testicular and prostate cancers, particularly prostate cancer which tends to affect men when they get older, especially after age 50 and sometimes the instances accelerate after age 60 or 65,” Cohen said.

Both men and women should get the flu and shingles vaccines. Those 65 years and older also need to have the phenmococcal vaccine to prevent the common forms of pneumonia.

Establishing baselines is very important because they help doctors to identify health changes.

Routine screenings also help reveal diseases or unhealthy trends early when lifestyle changes are still possible and when problems are easier to manage. As always, Cohen said, individuals should talk to their doctors before attempting any new exercise or health regimen.

“We should start establishing baselines at an early age. Things change and the more things change the more chances there are of getting diseases,” he said.

Cohen’s quick tips? Here are a few: “My advice is to stay away from fast foods and processed foods.

“See your doctor every two or three years even if you feel fine. Have basic screenings done.

“If you smoke, stop. Decrease your use of alcohol.

“Exercise, but be mindful of your joints. Going too hard and too fast with exercise actually could produce diminishing results.

“And remember, there’s always time to make changes. You just have to start.”

More recommendations • Find out what your BMI (body mass index) is. It is a measurement of your body fat in relation to your weight and height and a good indicator for obesity.

• Cancer screenings are important. Consult with your doctor about skin, lung, colorectal, testicular and prostate cancer screenings.

• Track your blood pressure. A check at least every two years will reveal heart, kidney disease and stroke risks.

• Diabetes can cause heart, eye, feet and kidney problems. Have a blood sugar level test.

• Monitor cholesterol. If you have a family history of high cholesterol, have it checked even in your 20s and especially once you hit 35.

• Be tested for sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia and HIV.

Natural folk Claremont festival finds a home at the Bot Garden Story by GEORGE A. PAUL

Y

myfoothillsmagazine.com

ou know a music festival has really made an impact on the community when a large number of people lament its absence. Fortunately, the Claremont Folk Festival will return after a two-year hiatus on June 15 at Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden. “I can’t tell you the kind of disappointment I have to field when we don’t have it,” said Ellen Chase, festival co-director and manager of the equally revered, long-running Folk Music Center, Museum & Store in Claremont.

Now marking 30 years, the event began in 1970 as the annual Dulcimer Festival at Claremont’s Memorial Park. By 1979, it had transitioned into a nonprofit organization and became known as the Claremont Spring Folk Festival. Supported by donations, sponsors and fundraisers, the festival helps the FMC bring unique live music to the area, provide school tours and lend instruments to music teachers.

“It started out tiny with American traditional music and has grown to include all kinds of music,” Chase explained. “This year, we have Henry Rollins doing spoken word, which I think fits fine, because it’s an anti-commercial philosophy that the festival comes (from). It’s roots and folk (music) in every sense of the word. We’ve got a very eclectic show.”

Back in the 1980s, Rollins fronted the influential Los Angeles hardcore punk group Black Flag, and later, a self-named alternative metal band through the mid-2000s. In the interim, he became a respected author, june 2013

activist, TV personality and spoken word artist. Currently, Rollins hosts a radio show on KCRW-FM and writes a column for LA Weekly.

Another headliner on the festival bill is David Lindley. A veteran multiinstrumentalist and San Marino native, his extensive resume includes session work with Jackson Browne (his vocals are heard amid their hit cover of Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs’ “Stay” during “Running on Empty”), Linda Ronstadt, Graham Nash, Emmylou Harris, Rod Stewart, Warren Zevon and many more since the 1970s. Even Chase’s Grammywinning musician son Ben Harper has utilized Lindley’s talents on albums and cited him as an influence.

Chase calls Lindley a “quintessential musician”

and notes he will be playing solo with several instruments. “He’s brilliant, and one of the most tasteful players I’ve heard in my life. He’s also a personable entertainer. It’s been about 30 years since he played in Claremont.�

Then there’s the gypsy jazz of Janet Klein & Her Parlor Boys. “They do a fun type of naughty ’90s ukulele (thing),� she added.

Leon Mobley & Da Lion will make a return appearance to the festival. Mobley plays drums for Harper’s backing band The Innocent Criminals and a West African djembe ensemble.

Additionally, several performers will conduct music workshops in the garden.

For Chase, the festival’s primary goal is “to bring folk music to the community� and have them learn about it. “We get

people from all over Orange County, the Inland Empire and L.A.�

A venue switch from Sycamore Elementary School — where the festival was held in 2010 — to the expansive garden allows for more activities (self-guided tours, nature workshops geared toward children) and flexibility. Local artists are expected to sell art and musical instruments while gourmet food trucks, local microbreweries and caterers offer food. “We’re going to have a beer garden, which we’ve never had before,� Chase noted. “Everybody is excited because the botanic garden and Folk Music Center are two venerable nonprofit institutions here. I like the fact that we’re combining with nature. I think it’s a good fit for folk music. It’s going to be beautiful.�

IF YOU GO Claremont Folk Festival, featuring performances by David Lindley, Henry Rollins, Janet Klein & Her Parlor Boys, Leon Mobley and Da Lion, Moira Smiley and Voco, Round Mountain, Gonzalo Bergara Quartet, Black Tongued Bells, Tremoloco, Ross Altman, Peter Harper, Phoebe Bridgers.

Workshops held in African drumming, songwriting, European and American folk songs, Gypsy guitar, ukulele, mosaic making, drum circle, slide guitar, print making, puppetry, didgeridoo, harmonica and protest songs.

Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, 1500 N. College Ave., Claremont; 10 a.m. June 15; $25 general, $100 VIP (includes preferred seating and festival T-shirt), children 12 and younger, free.

t 2 a.m., when most people are sound asleep, perhaps dreaming about a hearty breakfast, the folks at Jammin’ Bread Bakery and Cafe are busy baking tasty delights for those dreamers to enjoy at a more civilized hour.

Cheryl Duffy and her husband, Patrick, have owned the restaurant in the Canyon Crest Towne Centre for more than 17 years, expanding at one point to accommodate their growing band of followers.

The Duffys met while they were students at UC Santa Barbara, when both of them also were working as servers at a local restaurant. It must have been kismet because they’ve been working in the industry ever since.

After they married, Cheryl cooked and made rag dolls for side money. She loved baking and would spend hours baking breads, cookies, cakes and pies — and still, she remains thin.

When they returned to Riverside, she continued her epicurean education while working at various restaurants including the Red Baron and Simple Simon’s Bakery & Bistro.

She actually worked at both places at the same time for a while, but it was the bakery/cafe that won her heart. On her days off

Cranberry Chutney About this recipe: Every year when fresh cranberries are in season, we make a sandwich we call “The Holiday.”

We put it together after Thanksgiving, wanting to perpetuate that wonderful combination of turkey and cranberry! Our customers look forward to this seasonal special and are sad to see it go. We also like this chutney recipe, which was found in an old “food and wine” collection I’ve had for 20 years.

Ingredients

2 1/ 3 cups fresh cranberries ½ cup granulated sugar ¼ cup brown sugar 1 cinnamon stick 4 whole cloves 2 allspice berries ¼ cup raisins 1 small onion, chopped ¼ cup celery, chopped ½ cup tart apple, unpeeled, chopped

Directions

In a medium nonreactive saucepan, add ½ cup water, sugars and cranberries. Tie the cinnamon stick, cloves and allspice berries in a cheesecloth and add to the pan. Bring to boil over moderate heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar.

Lower the heat and simmer partially covered until the cranberries begin to burst, about 10 minutes.

Stir in the raisins, onion, celery and apple. Simmer uncovered until the mixture thickens, about 20 minutes.

Remove from heat, cool to room temperature. Remove the spice bag and refrigerate the chutney. Yield: 2 cups

Every woman deserves state-of-the-art 3D mammograms

At Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center, Every Woman Gets One. Did you know that traditional 2-dimensional mammography misses up to 20% of breast cancers? What’s more, approximately 10% of women must endure the stress of being recalled for additional mammograms, even when no cancer is actually present. Pretty frightening statistics. That’s why we are excited to be the first Southern California hospital to exclusively offer 3D breast imaging, the most accurate technology available.

Why 3D breast imaging outperforms traditional mammography 3D breast imaging (aka Tomosynthesis) creates exceptionally sharp, 3-dimensional images of the breast.

The images are easier to read and far more accurate than a traditional mammogram. So there are fewer missed cancers and “false positives.” Women with dense breast tissue or breast implants also benefit from this advanced imaging. All of this means a lot less anxiety for you.

Be one of the first to take advantage of 3D breast imaging at PVHMC We are committed to bringing our community the best possible breast cancer screening available anywhere and will soon offer appointments at 3 convenient locations. For more information, visit www.PVHMC.org/3DMammogram or call (909) 614-4913.

Pondering our anguished English

myfoothillsmagazine.com

Words intrigue me. Being a writer, I spend a good deal of my time thinking about them — how they sound, how they are put together and odd phrasings.

Frequently, if I have a few moments, I will just open the dictionary and learn a new word.

Sometimes, I drive my family and friends a little crazy with my word ramblings. Why, I often wonder, do we say things like “I’ll be there shortly” when we don’t say “I’ll be there longly?”

Or, we use weird little prefaces such as “by and large” (which originated as a nautical term) to mean “overall.” (“By and large, it was a good meeting.”) Huh? Many of these oddities have been culled in various compilations through the years, as others have contemplated their weirdness as well. One of my favorites has always been “Anguished English: An Anthology of Accidental Assaults Upon Our Language,”

by Richard Lederer. It makes for hilarious reading with humorous term paper excerpts and ruminations such as: Why do we park on a driveway and drive on a parkway?

Among my own observations, along with “shortly” and “longly” are these: Why is it called a “near miss” instead of a “near hit” or “near collision” when two planes almost smack into each other?

Why is it that when something is easy and good “it’s all downhill” and yet, when something goes wrong or it’s bad, we say “it went downhill from there.”

Then there are the familial terms.

Why are the siblings of your grandparents your “great aunt or uncle” and not your “grand aunt or uncle”?

And don’t get me started on that whole second, third, fourth cousin, twice removed business.

My family is completely fed up with june 2013

me questioning — again and again — this little phrase on a prescription medicine bottle: “Take one pill twice a day.” Well, you know that’s impossible, unless you split that little pill in half.

Better would be: “Take two pills daily, morning and evening.” (Once, I even made this suggestion to a pharmacist, who looked as me as if I needed to be medicated.)

It’s not just words, though, that draw my attention. Names do, too. Apparently, I am not alone. Did you know that today, in some modern, civilized nations, there are strict guidelines on what you can and cannot name a child? These countries include Denmark, Germany — Germany!

— and Iceland.

A recent Associated Press news report out of Iceland tells the story of a 15-yearold girl who is finally able to have the name her parents gave her at birth — Blaer — put on her passport and other official papers. Up until now, she had just been “Girl.”

It seems that when the girl was born, Icelandic authorities had declared that Blaer was not a proper feminine name; the names panel said it was too masculine and not appropriate for a girl and it was not on the list of accepted

female names. Other more Westernized names that cannot be used, according to the report, include Carolina and Christa because there is no “c” in the Icelandic alphabet. (Thus, there would be no Carla, either. I would be just another “girl.”)

So, to clarify: A girl cannot be named Blaer, but she can be named Bjork, which means birch, the most common tree in Iceland and a popular name there for girls.

These countries with strict naming laws would have a field day with the monikers we Americans give our children. No naming police here! Just string a bunch of letters together and call it a name. Or take a regular name and give it a unique spelling (Kortnee, Jorja, Will.i.am, Calleigh, Markus, Kristofer).

But, it seems that even the cold, concrete rules of Iceland thawed a little earlier this year. The Icelandic court said that based on testimony and other evidence, it had determined that the name Blaer was gender neutral and that the 15-year-old girl had a right to use it as hers. The ruling also means that other girls will be allowed to use that name in Iceland.

Hooray! By and large, the story has a happy ending.

Inland Empire Utilities Agency and its Local Water Agencies Promote Being Water Smart in the Chino Basin It is true what you have heard on the news and read in the paper. We have had a less than average snowpack in the Sierras, and below average rainfall. Given that we all depend on clean water for life, it is important for us to remember to continue to use our water supplies wisely.

Efficient water use needs to be a way of life, not just something we think about once in a while.

And with a little bit of effort, using water wisely will soon become second nature. And it is easy to do. By simply watering your outdoor landscapes properly and using water efficient fixtures and appliances in the home will sharply reduce your water consumption.

IEUA and its member agencies continue to encourage its residents to use water wisely.
