FROM THE EDITOR —

LOS Catherine Gaugh

Happy 19th birthday — to us!

Here is the latest Rose Parade edition of Pasadena’s Rose Magazine. It is the 19th time the Pasadena Star-News and the San Gabriel Valley News Group has produced a glossy magazine devoted to the biggest day of the year in Pasadena with stories, photos and previews of the parade and game.

In the early days, the once-a-year magazine was simply the Rose. A few years ago, it was transformed into a quarterly and then bi-monthly lifestyle publication with a modified name.

But our premium edition each year is this one. No other news organization has the 19 years of experience that we have in covering the Tournament of Roses.

And this year has been great fun: We met famous primatologist Jane Goodall, the parade’s Grand Marshal.

We chatted with Uggie, the

canine star of “The Actor,” about his appearance on a parade float. We got to see 90-year-old photos of the Arroyo Seco neighborhood before Rose Bowl construction started.

Our fashion photo shoot with the seven young ladies of the Royal Court was done at the historic and beautiful Castle Green. You’ll catch a few glimpses of the place in the photos, but see it for yourself: sign up for one of the two tours it hosts each year.

There’s more: Dining critic Merrill Shindler has tips on the best places to eat. We spotlight four shops along Holly and Union streets. And we preview what we can see in the night skies next year.

We hope you enjoy this edition, as well as the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Game on Jan. 1. We’ll see you next year, for our 20th birthday.

A FOLK MUSIC HAPPY BIRTHDAY Far from the world of overnight successes, one-hit wonders, avaricious agents and royalty battles, there exists a musical land untouched by the wheels of Top Pop 40 commerce: folk music. And no one presents it any better than the Caltech Folk Music Society. Which is a bit of a wonder in itself, since from its inception, the society has been an all-volunteer group. The Society will mark its 30th anniversary on Feb. 9 with a show at Caltech’s Beckman Institute Auditorium featuring singer-songwriter Joanna Cazden. Cazden was also the very first performer in the series, back in January 1982.

Some special touches will be in place for the anniversary show, which chief volunteers Rex Mayreis and Nick Smith prefer to refer to as a birthday party.

“It will definitely be a celebration,” Smith said. “Or maybe we could call it a surprise party. For many of us, it’s a big surprise to have kept this going for 30 years.”

SKYGAZER

By Mike Roy

Out with the old, in with the new

T

The warmth and joy of the holiday season is still fresh in the air, and it’s time to let 2012 slip away and embrace 2013 with sky-turned eyes.

The skygazing winter season begins with the loss of daylight saving time, so we have more time to look at the stars.

The night sky leaves signs for us to follow with the brilliant planet Jupiter leading the way. High in the east, it is the brightest object of the evening sky. The red giant star Aldebaran is to its’ right.

With binoculars, one can see Jupiter’s oval midsection, which is caused by the planet’s fast rotation about its axis. A viewer might also see several of Jupiter’s dark cloud bands and even four of its largest moons. The moons move rapidly around the planet and change position from one night to the next.

With a small telescope, one can even watch as a moon slips from view, hiding behind the great planet,.

Slightly above Jupiter is what at first may appear to be a hazy patch of several

brighter stars. This is the star cluster Pleiades or “seven sisters.” Though there are several more stars in this group than just the seven, six are more easily seen; you might recognize them as the badge of Subaru cars.

Below Jupiter lies the great hunter Orion.

According to folklore, Orion is a romantic pursuer of the seven sisters. The three equally bright, equally spaced stars in Orion’s belt are the signature of one of the most readily recognized constellations in the night sky. In early winter, the belt stars form a nearly vertical line. To the left of the belt lies the stellar red-giant Betelgeuse, to the right, blue-white Rigel. Midway between the belt and Rigel (and slightly lower) are the three close stars marking the sword of Orion.

Using binoculars, one can see a hazy area around one of those stars — that is the Great Orion Nebula, a favorite of both novice and experienced amateur astronomers alike. This bright cloud of

cosmic gas is in fact a stellar nursery giving birth to perhaps hundreds of new stars, and the closest of its kind to the Earth at just 1,300 light years distance.

NOTE: The New Year is a time for resolutions. I’ve never given them much thought, but as an amateur astronomer, I’ve begun to see for myself the loss of our night sky due to excessive lighting. Urban sprawl and industrialization have increased our use of energy for light.

I resolve to repair or replace my outside lights with astronomically and environmentally friendly lighting. It’s a tiny gesture, but if we all do the same, it could make a difference, For more information on urban light pollution and possible solutions, consult the International Dark Sky Association at www.darksky.org. R Mike Roy is the instrument shop manager and specialist at Caltech. He has his own backyard observatory.

COLD DAYS: A NOVEL OF THE DRESDEN FILES (Book 14)

By Jim Butcher Hardcover fantasy Roc

You’d think life would be simple after you get killed, but wizard private detective Harry Dresden can’t even have a normal afterlife.

In “Ghost Story,” (book 13) published in July 2011 (way too long ago!), the murdered wizard had a chance to say goodbye to his friends.

Then Faery Queen Mab, the Queen of Air and Darkness, dragged him back to life and forced him to live up to the desperate promise he made back in book 12 (published in April 2010). He is now the Winter Knight and Mab’s word is his command, even when she wants him to kill an immortal. And, because this is Dresden we’re talking about, that’s just the start of his troubles.

Facing enemies new and old, Harry must gather his allies (who mostly think he’s dead) to save countless innocent lives and find a way out of his subservience to Mab. It all makes being dead look good.

And the publication of “Cold Days” makes this longtime fan say, about time, Butcher!

TOTALLY MAD: 60 YEARS OF HUMOR, SATIRE, STUPIDITY AND STUPIDITY Introduced by Stephen Colbert and Eric Drysdale Hardcover humor Time Home Entertainment

For 60 years, MAD Magazine has observed and mocked the American experience. MAD’s renowned artists and writers, long known as “The Usual Gang of Idiots,” have hysterically satirized politics, celebrities, sports, media, cultural trends and more.

According to the publisher: This “collection of MAD’s most idiotic material,” includes such classics as Spy vs. Spy, The MAD Fold-in, A MAD Look At..., The Lighter Side of, Horrifying Clichés and The Shadow Knows, plus modern MAD classics including The MAD Strip Club and The Fundalini Pages. A bonus feature offers a dozen classic cover prints, 10 featuring Alfred E. Neuman, MAD’s gap-toothed grinning mascot. If you loved MAD, you’ll want to take a look at this crazy compendium.

THE LAST LION: WINSTON SPENCER CHURCHILL: DEFENDER OF THE REALM, 1940-1965

By William Manchester and Paul Reid Hardcover biography Little, Brown and Co.

Paul Reid finally brings out the book that his friend William Manchester didn’t live to complete.

Manchester was one of Churchill’s best biographers and Reid brings his journalist’s eye for detail to a book that is a triumph for the two of them.

“The Last Lion” covers the final years of Churchill’s life, including the war years when this brilliant but flawed leader organizes his nation’s military response and persuades FDR to support the British. Then after the valiant war years, Churchill must adapt to the shift of world power as the fading British Empire takes a back seat to the growing power of the United States.

This 1,232-page book is no lightweight, but it is full of detail and paints a stirring portrait of a man who changed the course of history.

NOTORIOUS NINETEEN: A STEPHANIE PLUM NOVEL

Meanwhile, because she really needs the money, she takes a second job guarding her mentor Ranger from a dangerous adversary. Fast-paced action and lots of laughs, just what you’ve come to expect from Evanovich.

The Loved One Elvia Lahman and Hannah Metz are on a mission to make unmentionables just the opposite. Taking inspiration from their own collections of old-school girly magazines, the pair launched a vintage wholesale business that took root in the late aughts.

Riding on a tidal wave of support for that venture, The Loved One co-owners set out to manufacture their own vintage-inspired lingerie line. They got a major boost from a successful campaign on Kickstarter, the popular crowd-funding website, and launched two pop-up shops to introduce Angelenos and New Yorkers to their growing line of retro underthings. After a positive response, Lahman said they knew it was time to open up shop — a real brick-and-mortar one in Pasadena.

That dream came to fruition in June 2011, when The Loved One moved into its new digs on Holly Street.

“Our desire at The Loved One is to provide an original and fun shopping experience for our customers,” Lahman said. “We pride ourselves on our sometimes cheeky seasonal displays and arrange all of our vintage garments with care, creating easy-to-shop collections.”

The vintage mavens rotate in new, handpicked stock every week, and they also carry some independent design labels, like Dear Creatures, Stacy Ellen Rich and Frances Baker. The Loved One boutique goes beyond the underpinnings, too, offering women’s apparel, and even some menswear and children’s picks.

Therapy In need of a little retail treatment? The owners of this longtime Pasadena boutique set out to provide a first-class shopping experience that’s authentically therapeutic — and they have the name to prove it.

Owned and meticulously curated by mother-daughter pair Pattie Behrens and Courtnay Page, Therapy is celebrating more than a decade serving the Pasadena area and recently marked one year at its new location on Holly Street.

The duo also owns E.G. Page and E.G. Man, both luxury fashion boutiques in San Marino. E.G. Page is a contemporary women’s clothing store that skews slightly more mature than its sister store in Pasadena, while E.G. Man offers the male counterpoint to the other shops.

When Therapy Pasadena made its debut at the Paseo Colorado, it carved out a niche in the local shopping scene by offering an array of high-quality brands for which sophisticated shoppers would often have to travel to the Westside or upscale department stores to obtain.

“There were not many other stores at the time in our genre,” Page said. “We pride ourselves on many of the brands we carry.

They are brands that are harder to come by, and you only see them in top, high-end stores.”

Among them are Rag & Bone, Joie, Muubaa, Theory and Vince, to name just a few available at Therapy.

The transition out of the Paseo and into an expansive space on revitalized and blossoming Holly Street proved an opportunity to 65 E. Holly St. refresh the look of the store. Page and Behrens created a shopping Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. environment that is industrial and modern, yet imbued with a Sunday, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. natural warmth. Worn elements, like antiqued wood and French 626-568-9905 farmhouse accents, balance the clean lines, and a subtle neutral therapyclothingpasadena.com palette allows merchandise to shine.

“We’re very visual, and we wanted the entire experience of our vision to be carried throughout,” Page said. “It’s important that everything smells good, feels good and looks good.”

Règne

“Bonjour!” is the cheery greeting that rings out when you call to inquire about the Bardot, the Audrey, and the Bo — starlet monikers for a few of the stellar styles at the newest blow-dry salon in Pasadena.

Règne Haute Blow Dry Salon elevates the blowout bar concept to an exquisite new level. Francophiles will recognize that its name means “reign,” but don’t fear flubbing up the pronunciation. It’s as easy as the most common form of precipitation. (Rain!)

In Règne’s elegantly appointed surroundings, expert stylists transform your stressed tresses into a perfectly polished coif. It’s all part of a grand vision orchestrated by owner Monica Escalante.

“Having spent the last several years raising three daughters and managing all the related feminine experiences, I recognized the opportunity to create something truly different,” said Escalante (just call her “Règnemaker”). “At the end of the day, what I wanted to do was to create a space that my girlfriends and I would want to visit and get our hair done regularly.”

And high style has gone high tech at Règne, where each station is outfitted with an iPad for browsing the latest magazine issues or checking email. The salon, which opened this summer, also features an exclusive pampering tool: the Yume bed, an ergonomically designed shampoo bed that practically induces automatic relaxation.

m.

Stopping to smell the flora can take on all different forms. On Union Street, Flower Pepper sprung up last year and has become a burgeoning artistic presence showcasing local and international artists, including a recent fall exhibition of works by Ugandan batik artist Nuwa Wamala Nnyanzi. That show underscored an international flair that is sometimes less evident — though nonetheless present — in the gallery’s more frequent pop-surrealist showcases.

To mark the occasion of its one-year birthday, the gallery is hosting an anniversary show through Jan. 24. That will be followed by a collaborative exhibition with the Dorothy Circus Gallery in Rome, Italy.

Curators Ixie Darkonn and Alexandra Mazzanti will bring together a diverse group of artists for “Painted Sound,” which explores the interplay between music and emotion.

At each exhibition, nearly all of the art pieces in the gallery are available for purchase, although a few are rented from private collections.

Owner Huan Gu has introduced a steady stream of merchandise into the gallery space as well, creating a de facto gift shop and bookstore full of unique and rare finds.

“We only carry art- or design-related products, and we try to get what we think people would like,” Gu said.

If you’re not ready to make the leap to purchasing an original piece, each item represents the chance to own a small work of art. Consider the possibilities when searching for an inimitable gift.

Her secret ingredient is love

STORY by Michelle J. Mills | PHOTOS by Walt Mancini

People who meet Christine Moore feel they have instantly made a new friend.

She glows with a warm, welcoming manner even as she is surrounded by the hectic activity in the kitchen, the full dining room and the steady flow of customers at the counter.

Moore is the owner of Little Flower Candy Co. in Pasadena and the author of “Little Flower: Recipes from the Cafe.” She grew up in New Jersey, the child of divorced parents.

“My mom was always cooking,” Moore said. “My dad would take four kids on the weekend to a studio apartment. I was the only girl, so I used to cook to get us through the tough weekends. I’ve always loved cooking.”

Moore kept honing her kitchen skills, but had no formal culinary

training when her best friend was killed in a car accident.

“I just decided, what am I waiting for? I could be dead tomorrow,” Moore said. “Her death changed the course of my life.”

Within three months, Moore had sublet her apartment and flew to Paris with a credit card.

For a year, she worked as a pastry cook for no pay. She peeled apples, lined tart shells and did other tasks, but her mind was on sweeter things.

“I dreamily looked into the chocolate room because it takes 20 years of manning the stoves before they’ll even consider putting you in that room,” Moore said.

Back in Los Angeles, Moore worked as a restaurant manager while moonlighting as the caterer for the cosmetics department of I. Magnum.

Her pay was in perfume.

She went on to bake for several restaurants until she married and became a stay-at-home mom in Highland Park.

She grew restless, though, and started making candy in her kitchen in 1999; her salty caramels became the talk of the town. Things were looking up and then the bottom fell out.

“Five years ago I found myself in a broken marriage with three small children to support,” Moore said. “When you’ve got to take care of kids, you get to work.

I feel thankful every day that I had the opportunity to channel all of that into my work.”

Taking a leap of faith, Moore opened the Little Flower Candy Co. cafe. Many nights, her children would sleep on a mattress in the back while she was busy in the kitchen preparing food for the day.

Moore was happy.

“It’s hard work, but I’ve never been afraid of that and it’s so satisfying and fun,” she said. “It’s like a party every day.”

Moore had been approached several times to write a book, yet it was Colleen

to build your pantry and a thorough index.

“We’re not sending up rockets here, we’re making carrot soup,” Moore said.

“People don’t need to be intimidated by cooking, they can make it simple and fresh and delicious.

“My goal with this book to show people I’m no different than anyone. What we all want in life is a book with good recipes

Dunn Bates of Prospect Park Media, a Pasadena publisher, who convinced her that she had paid her culinary dues and should share her knowledge.

Moore spent months posting recipes on her kitchen cupboards and sorting through them to decide which to include. The result was “Little Flower: Recipes from the Cafe”, a collection of tasty dishes suitable for every day and accessible for cooks of all levels. There are no hard-to-find ingredients and a few shortcuts, such as starting with ready-made pastry and creating a salad dressing that will keep in the refrigerator for a month. Color photos of each dish help the home chef.

The book also includes a section on how

and, because I’ve been cooking for 30 years, I have the recipes.”

Her favorite dish is brown butter shortbread. Moore likes this treat because of its texture; the recipe is in the cookbook.

Today, Moore’s children are 5, 11 and 13 and they keep her busy when she’s home. The family enjoys playing baseball, swimming and having parties. She says the house is usually full of kids having fun.

Also, she’s gathering ideas for a second book. What keeps her going is pure happiness.

“I’m super grateful,” Moore said. “I love my life and it just gets better and better every day.” R

Story By Merrill Shindler

Pasadena has turned into one of the destination dining cities of Southern California, a landscape of seemingly endless options. Whatever you’re in the mood for, we’ve got it.

There are weekday nights when the streets of Old Pasadena are devoid of humanity, and most local restaurants are busy sending their excess staff home. But you can bet your bottom dollar that Mi Piace will be full. Heck, there’ll even be a wait to get in.

Mi Piace is a phenomenon that endlessly astonishes and astounds.

The formula is simple: lots of good food, served in a cheerful setting, at very 28 | ROSE | PARADE 2013

reasonable prices. This is Italian comfort food freshened up with California touches.

Which means you can easily mix-andmatch a meal of classic pasta dishes, chicken and veal standards, with cutting edge carpaccios, risotti and seafood, all made with state-of-the-art olive oils and balsamic vinegars.

The pizzas are wonderful too, with a good crunchy crust, and enough toppings to satisfy even the most persnickety of pizza lovers. There’s a reason this is one

of the busiest restaurants in Old Pasadena; it succeeds on every level. And it doesn’t charge you an arm and a leg for the privilege.

and out. The patio is clearly the place to sit at Cafe Santorini, overlooking the crowds coming and going at the theater complex below.

Start with the mezze platter, a combination of stuffed grape leaves, spanakopita and tirokopita, fried kibbeh, tabouli and feta cheese, enough food for a light snack for two, to which you can add Middle Eastern dips like hummus, babaghanoush and tzatziki.

From there, things wander a little bit, from a Caesar salad with salmon, through a cheeseburger made with kasseri cheese, past an Armenian sausage pizza and an oxtail pizza made with shiitake mushrooms, through the realm of pasta, finally re-focusing on souvlaki, lule kebab, and a casual bouillabaisse of prawns and scallops in a swell tomato broth. Prices are right.

Il Fornaio Il Fornaio is noisy in the way that restaurants filled with people having a very good time tend to be noisy. It’s a happy noise, with lots of waving of arms at old friends, and air kisses flying through the ether.

It’s very much like being in Italy, with food to match: There’s soft polenta (not fried and rubbery for a change), cornmeal flavored with mushrooms and parmesan.

There’s as good a carpaccio as you’ll find on these shores; and a perfect eggplant dish, made with goat cheese, sundried tomatoes, onions, capers and balsamic vinegar.

They make a heck of a fine Tuscan bean and barley soup. They make tomato soup with Tuscan bread, good enough to raise the dead.

It’s one of Mother Nature’s little jokes.

And a very fine creation too, served at Bizou with saffron-dotted risotto and fried carrots, in the same rich lobster sauce that comes with an appetizer of lobster- and salmon-filled ravioli.

a large selection of small dishes and a handful of state-of-the-art large plates.

The result is a restaurant that’s busier than it’s ever been.

With David Feau in his new setting, you want to linger.

Both over the fine vintages that emerge from a pair of dueling glassed-in wine rooms and from the kitchen, where the food is both classic and modern at once. This is a restaurant that says, The Langham is back. And in a big way.

The pastas are freshly made; try the bucatini with Maine lobster and Calabrian chiles; or the rigatoni with short rib Bolognese. Order the elegantly grilled organic Mary’s chicken breast with wild arugula, or the osso buco served with Anson Mills (the best!) organic polenta and gremolata. As a side, try the toasted Sardinian pasta called fregola. And for dessert, the house take on tiramisu, which is made with peaches and pecans.

Risotto with pumpkin pops up with some regularity, as does risotto with saffron and parmesan.

Jane of the jungle

S

She travels the world 300 days a year with her message of conservation and animal rights, but Jane Goodall’s 5.4-mile journey as Grand Marshal of the Rose Parade on Jan. 1 will break new ground for the renowned primatologist.

Until she was asked to follow in such footsteps as Frank Sinatra, retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, John Wayne, President Eisenhower, Pele and Kermit the Frog, Goodall confessed she’d never heard of Pasadena’s annual New Year’s Day gift to the world.

“I think I know what to expect now, I’ve seen bits of video,” Goodall said by phone from her childhood home in Bournemouth, England, about eight months after her presentation on the steps of Tournament House. (The 78-year-old Goodall delighted the crowd that day by introducing herself with the whooping “hello” call perfected in her years of living and working with the chimpanzees of Gombe in Tanzania.)

Sally Bixby, just the second woman president of the Tournament of Roses, said she asked Goodall to be Grand Marshal as an “inspirational” symbol of the 124th parade theme, “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” “I think last year I went to 23 different countries,” said Goodall, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and a U.N. Messenger of Peace.

She’d just returned from a taxing threemonth tour of Canada and eight Asian countries, she said, and was trying to finish her latest book, “‘Seeds of Hope,’ about the kingdom of plants and trees.”

She was feeling a little under the weather, but Goodall said she’s fallen back on one of her few Gombe indulgences.

“A little chocolate and a little Scotch are always good. Probably a little Scotch more than chocolate,” she joked.

Goodall said she’s looking forward to her Grand Marshal stint.

“I’m going to make it fun, and having all the family there will make it fun,” said Goodall, who plans to bring a full roster, including her sister and their children and grandchildren. “We’re spending a few days so the family can go to Disneyland and San Diego Zoo.”

Jane Goodall holds her toy chimp after being named Grand Marshal of the Tournament of Roses Parade.

But the relatives won’t be riding in the “green” horse-drawn carriage with her, Goodall said. That will be reserved for three members of her “Roots & Shoots” youth program, now in 120 countries, a shelter rescue dog, and “Mr. H,” the famous toy chimp who travels with her everywhere.

It’s been 53 years since the then-26-yearold Goodall started her seminal field study of the Gombe chimps, the first to document chimps’ use of tools, meat-eating, and war-like behaviors that catapulted her to world-wide prominence.

For years, she has used that renown to bring attention to endangered species — particularly chimpanzees — sustainability, ecology and the effects of climate change.

Her journey in the world of primate research and academe was unorthodox, she said.

“I think it would be hard for other people,” she said, recalling how she started her career as a secretary at Oxford University after leaving school at 18.

“I saved up my money, got out to Africa — I’d heard about (anthropologist) Louis Leakey and he gave me this amazing opportunity to study chimps.”

It was while she and a friend were working in the Olduvai Gorge that Leakey realized she was to be taken seriously, Goodall said.

“While we were there he realized I didn’t care about hairdressers or clothes and parties. I really and truly felt at home, dedicated to animals,” she said. “The day he decided to offer me this chance was the day I met this young male lion, who was curious about me and the other girl” in the gorge.

Leakey “was impressed I made all the wise decisions.” she said. “We were down in the bottom of a fairly narrow gorge where you find fossils where the soil is washed away every year, and it had grown lots of vegetation. We looked back and saw this lion looking curious.”

Her companion wanted to walk into the thick brush, Goodall said. “I said, the lion will not be fooled. Climb up the side and go out into the open plain — and that was the right thing to do.”

Leakey was sufficiently impressed to offer her a research job, she said. And in 1965 she became one of a handful of people awarded a Ph.D. from Cambridge University without an undergraduate degree.

Goodall’s early lack of interest in fashion and hairdos remains, and she said she “decided not to think” about what she’d wear for the Rose Parade.

“I have so few clothes, I’ll bring what I have and wear it,” she said. R

He’s the perfect leading man: handsome, smart and charming. And he starred in an Oscar-winning film.

This heartbreaker, however, is a real dog. Uggie, the Jack Russell terrier who stole the scenes in the movies “The Artist,” “Water for Elephants” and “Mr. Fix It,” will be riding down Colorado Boulevard during the Rose Parade on the Beverly Hills Pet Care Foundation float, “Follow the Stars — Adopt a Pet.” Joining him on the creation designed by Fiesta Floats of Irwindale will be Debbie Reynolds and Elaine Hendrix, as well as his “dad,” trainer/owner Omar von Muller.

Uggie comes with more credits than pedigree. He won awards at the Cannes Film Festival and the Golden Collar Awards and served as a spokesdog for Nintendo’s Nintendogs

38 | ROSE | PARADE 2013

+ Cats video game. The 10-year-old became the first dog to put his pawprints in cement in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on June 25, which the City of Los Angeles declared Uggie Day. After a couple of treats, Uggie settled down on the couch in his family’s Panorama City home and was ready for our faceto-muzzle chat. He recalled his wild days, when his family was ready to send him to the pound.

“I was way too crazy, chasing cats and chasing dogs and cars,” Uggie barked.

One of von Muller’s friends learned of Uggie’s situation and suggested that the animal trainer check him out.

“He did the nasty things that little dogs do,” von Muller

said. Still there was something about Uggie that made von Muller want to give him a chance.

“Omar saw that I was a good-looking Jack, full of energy and Omar knew that all my bad behaviors were nothing but me wanting to do something,” Uggie woofed.

“He started working with me and the rest is history. He made me a big star.”

Uggie’s most challenging trick, falling down backwards and playing dead, is also his most popular. It took many hours of practice and a lot of trust for him to learn how to do a falling roll onto his back. He began slowly, practicing the backwards roll over and over on beds and mattresses until he gained confidence and precision. The move made him a hit in “The Artist” and today Uggie does it with ease.

The pup is not only an actor, but a writer.

His book, “Uggie, My Story” (Gallery Books, $15), with English journalist Wendy Holden, was published in October.

“I had a story to tell,” Uggie barked. “I was going to the dog pound when I was a puppy, and today I am one of the biggest stars ever, so I wanted to tell all the good things that I did and all the bad things and

trouble I got into when I was a kid. Wendy understood everything I was barking.”

Uggie’s path to success hasn’t been all Milk Bones and steak; he has worked hard and knows what it takes to be a star.

“I was not afraid of anything,” Uggie howled. “Nothing got me distracted until I met Reese Witherspoon. Before that, I was very focused, I was very driven. And I loved all the sausages that were given to me by all the stars I worked with. Best of all, I love playing and showing off.”

Uggie is still young at heart and full of energy, but von Muller recognizes that the long hours involved in filmmaking may take their toll, so the little dog is going into semi-retirement. He will take smaller roles that involve less time on the set and make other appearances.

“I definitely want to still keep performing,” Uggie barked. “I want to go to hospitals, I want to go to orphanages where there’s kids, I want to promote animal rescue because there’s a lot of my buddies out there who need help.”

Pet adoption is very important to Uggie.

“There are millions of pets being euthanized mainly because of the

negligence of people that adopt the wrong dog and not do the right things, like education and training. People should know what they’re doing before they do it because the ones who suffer are the pets,” Uggie yelped.

“In my opinion, training is probably the most important thing, I call it education, because I used to be a really bad dog when I was a young guy and then the first thing my dad did was discipline me and once I understood right from wrong, everything was fine. I understood what humans wanted from me and the humans understood what I wanted from them.”

Uggie, unlike von Muller, will have no problems getting up early for his float ride in the Rose Parade and his tail wags as he talks about it.

“I’m going to show off a few tricks, hopefully when the cameras are rolling, and wave and smile at everybody,” Uggie arfed.

When queried as to how he plans to wave, Uggie smugly purred that he’ll wave with his paw, of course. R

From Kaysville, Utah, band members wear white shako hats with white plumes. Guard uniforms are gold on gold with black pants.

The 292 members have a fundraiser called City Canvassing, and the goal was to have every home with a yard sign that reads “Proud Supporter of the Davis High Band, 2013 Tournament of Roses Parade.”

This precision competition unit started as a 4-H group.

Many of the horses have quarter horse bloodlines and include Pal, Addy, Topper, Happy, Daisy, Moonpie and Brown. (Brown is an Appendix horse, which means he is a first-generation cross between a registered Thoroughbred and an American quarter horse.) The unit is from Groesbeck, Texas.

The Pride of the Dutchmen Marching Band This band marches in wooden shoes, giving it an unusual sound. Every shoe has been hand-painted with the Tournament of Roses logo. The uniforms are fashioned after 19th century Netherlands garb. Orange City, Iowa, is home to its 177 members.

All participants research their own outfits, matching their time period and vocation for accuracy. Each saddle matches the time period and occupation that the rider represents, whether soldier or peddler. Most of the horses in the group are quarter horses, mounted shooting horses (horses that are used to the noise of weapons going off from their riders and those around them), and specially trained trick horses used in films and Wild West shows.

The Pride of Broken Arrow

From Zacatecas, Mexico, these riders train their own mount. Each horse brings a unique color to the group and has been trained for competition, horse and rope tricks. The costumes are handmade and are typical charro attire. (The term “charro” refers to a horseman from the central-western regions of Mexico.) The saddles were handcrafted in Zacatecas and have large horns that assist when roping cattle. The group was founded in 1995 and enjoys participating in events where children get to meet and experience horses.

The band consists of 291 members from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. The band is a 19-time Oklahoma State Marching Band Champion that also marched in the 2009 Tournament of Roses Parade.

A Percheron is usually gray or black in color, well-muscled, and known for intelligence and willingness to work. Originally used in battle, they would sometimes be called a “war horse.” Thousands were sent back to Europe from the United States to be used in fighting World War I.

Through interviews and evaluations, photo shoots and etiquette lessons, the seven members of the 2013 Tournament of Roses Royal Court have come to be a tight-knit group of young women.

Each shines in her own way; their extensive resumes are a reflection of their distinct personalities and interests, from Girl Scouts to varsity athletics.

For 95th Rose Queen Vanessa Natalie Manjarrez, a background in several forms of dance has helped the Mayfield Senior School senior relate to a wide variety of people.

Rose Princess Kathryne Alice Benuska’s desire to help others has taken her across the U.S. borders.

An aspiring judge, Princess Tracy Italia Cresta loves debates and the law.

With a hand in both the arts and sciences, Princess Victoria Sophia McGregor wants to find a career that combines her two passions.

Princess Nicole Cherie Nelam enjoys sharing her talents in the kitchen, baking treats for friends and fundraisers alike.

Already having marched in the 123rd Rose Parade as a Girl Scout representative, Princess Sonia Marie Shenoi appreciates the opportunity to ride on the Rose Court float.

And Princess Madison Michelle Barili Teodo’s outgoing personality will be well-suited for a future working with children.

“I think it’s great that we all get to go out into the community and visit different philanthropies,” Queen Vanessa said. “And have a whole bunch of fun together and represent Pasadena as a group.”

Queen Vanessa Manjarrez, 17 Being queen of the Rose Court is far from easy. With a variety of events and responsibilities to juggle, adding the pressures of senior year would be daunting for any young lady, but 2013 Rose Queen Vanessa Manjarrez handles it with grace and charm.

“It’s been challenging, but I have a great support system,” the Mayfield Senior School student said. “My family has been great, my school, my friends, everyone here at the Tournament of Roses, they all encourage us to keep doing everything and they make time for us to be able to be in school and go to Rose Court events.”

At school, Vanessa is involved in the Advance Dance Conservatory, Advising Council and Diversity Committee.

She is involved in Basque folk dancing, is part of the National Charity League and earned her Girl Scout Gold Award by volunteering at Villa Esperanza, Pasadena Humane Society and the Pasadena Senior Center.

Vanessa’s dream job is yet to be determined — while she’s interested in business or science, she’s taking things as they come, one step at a time. For now, though, she’s enjoying being Rose Queen.

“We’ve really bonded so much with our committee members,” she said. “We have so much fun together... the experience is something I’m always going to remember.”

Princess Kathryne Benuska, 17 “My dream job would be starting up my own nonprofit or organization to benefit those in Africa or other third-world countries,” Benuska said.

The Maranatha High School senior is enrolled in five Advanced Placement classes and is an athlete.

Story By Steve Ramirez

There will be no surprises when the Stanford and Wisconsin football teams square off in the 99th Rose Bowl Game on New Year’s Day. Instead there will be a sense of familiarity.

The Cardinal and Badgers favor the color red and feature an old-school approach to football — defense and a physical running game.

Throw in 2009 Rose Bowl Hall of Fame inductee Barry Alvarez, who returns to the Wisconsin sideline on an interim basis after Badgers head coach Bret Bielema took the Arkansas coaching job earlier this month, and it has the makings of a classic.

“I’m glad we’re playing them,” said Alvarez, who coached the Badgers to wins over UCLA and Stanford, respectively, in the 80th and 86th Rose Bowl Games in 1994 and 2000. “I like playing teams like this. I have great respect for how Stanford plays.

“Jim Harbaugh brought a toughness there that remains (under Cardinal coach David Shaw). I’ve had a chance to watch them a few times and have said that they have a system much like ours. They are physical, disciplined, and are coached well. It will be a challenge for us, but it’s a good matchup, a great bowl matchup.”

Wisconsin has used this style to advance

to five Rose Bowl Games since 1994. But the Badgers lost the last two, 21-19 to Texas Christian in 2011 and 45-38 to Oregon last Jan. 2.

The Badgers will use more of the same this time and again rely on running back Montee Ball, who is the 2012 Doak Walker Award winner as the top running back in the country after rushing for 1,730 yards and 21 touchdowns.

Wisconsin (8-5), the only five-loss team to advance to the Rose Bowl, also looks to James White, who has rushed for 832 yards and 12 scores, and Melvin Gordon, who had 216 yards and a touchdown in the Badgers’ 70-31 victory over Nebraska in the Big Ten title game.

Quarterback Curt Phillips has thrown for 454 yards and four touchdowns since replacing Joel Stave in early November.

Linebackers Mike Taylor and Chris Borland lead the defense with 120 and 95 tackles, respectively.

The Cardinal feature a similar scheme.

Stanford won its last six games, including four against top 25 teams to close the regular season.

“This is probably going to be the first team really for both of us that is almost kind of like a mirror image,” Shaw said.

“Our guys on defense are going to see things they recognize, because they go up

against it in training camp and in spring ball.

“You’re talking double-teams and pulling guards and fullbacks and tight ends and quarterbacks who use play action. It’s going to be very similar styles.”

The difference for Stanford is that while Wisconsin relies on three running backs, the Cardinal look to Stepfan Taylor, who has lived up to Shaw’s tag as “the most underrated back in the country.”

He has rushed for 1,364 yards and 11 touchdowns and will be a key in taking pressure off redshirt freshman quarterback Kevin Hogan.

Hogan, who earned Pac-12 title-game MVP honors despite it being just his fourth start, has thrown for 808 yards and eight touchdowns. Tight end Zach Erst is Stanford’s top receiver with 63 receptions for 818 yards and six touchdowns.

Stanford’s defense is led by linebackers Chase Thomas, who has 63 tackles and 5 1/2 sacks, and Trent Murphy, who has 51 tackles and 9 1/2 sacks.

“I think we’re going to have an exciting game,” Shaw said. “We both admire the way each other plays. We play an exciting style and a physical style. It’s going to be a great game and I can’t wait.” R PARADE 2013 | ROSE | 81

the game: STANFORD CARDINAL

It takes more than luck for success

David Shaw was considered the X-factor when he replaced Jim Harbaugh to become Stanford’s 34th football coach prior to the 2011 season.

He was the unknown part of a duo that also included future NFL No. 1 pick Andrew Luck. But in reality Shaw, who spent the previous four seasons as the Cardinal’s offensive coordinator, has proven to be the glue to the program’s resurgence, taking what Harbaugh built from the ground up and improving on it.

Shaw has led the Cardinal to consecutive Bowl Championship Series appearances, including the 99th Rose Bowl Game against Wisconsin on New Year’s Day. “No one was giving us love at Pac12 media day (in July),” Stanford senior linebacker Chase Thomas said. “Everyone doubted us. I told them it was the same thing when (2009 Heisman Trophy candidate Toby Gerhart) left, the same when Harbaugh left. People out there just don’t get it. The type of guys we have on this team, the type of coaches we have, this team isn’t going anywhere.”

Neither is Shaw, who after serving 17 years as an assistant, including 10 in the NFL, is right where he wants to be — in Palo Alto, coaching at his alma mater.

For many, when Harbaugh became head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, Shaw was the perfect successor to keep the Cardinal moving toward becoming one of the better programs in the country.

“David made a substantial contribution to the recent success of our program and our team has great confidence in him,” said former Stanford athletic director Bob Bowlsby, who hired the former Cardinal football player. “(He) has the experience, intellect, coaching skills and organizational abilities to be a tremendous coach.”

Bowlsby has been proved right. Nearing the end of his second year in charge Shaw is 22-4, with a Pac-12 title and two BCS appearances. He has also been Pac-12 Coach of the Year in each of his first two seasons in Palo Alto.

He’s done it while most figured Stanford would slide back to the pack, first after Harbaugh left for the 49ers last season,

then coming into this year when Luck left a year early to become the top pick in the NFL Draft.

Shaw’s response?

“First, we talk a lot about not worrying about what other people’s expectations are,” Shaw said. “Our expectations are on our play, and will we play well enough. We know we can compete with anybody. If we don’t play well enough, we know we can get beat.

“We play with a chip on our shoulder, kind of our mantra. Part of that chip on our shoulder was to prove that we are not a one-man organization here. We’re a team.

We (lost Andrew), and we’ll have more great players leave after this year, but we expect to be good again next year.”

Behind Shaw’s leadership, Stanford proved to be very good this season. But it was a slow transition. Yes, the Cardinal had an upset over then-No. 2 USC in September. But there also was a near-upset loss to San Jose State to begin the season and a loss at Washington in late September.

“I believe 100 percent since I got into coaching that you don’t really know your team until four or five games into the season,” Shaw said. “Guys around here

have heard me say that a bunch. And four or five games into the season, I knew we could beat anybody.”

The Cardinal showed it on Nov. 10, turning the college football world on its ear by upsetting No. 1 Oregon to take control of the Pac-12 North. Stanford, which had beaten No. 10 Oregon State the previous week, then finished off the regular season with back-to-back wins over No. 17 UCLA to win the Pac-12 title and advance to its first Rose Bowl Game since 2000 when it lost to Wisconsin, 17-9.

“The best thing about (this season and playing in the Rose Bowl) is that the only people who believed in us are the guys in this locker room,” Shaw said. “The guys that we recruited. I’ve said a million times, if you can get enough tough, smart, motivated individuals in one locker room that like to win in everything they do, that like to be successful, that push themselves, that push each other, you can beat anybody.”

Shaw hopes to prove it one more time when the Cardinal line up against Wisconsin on Jan. 1 in the Rose Bowl. R

the game: wisconsin badgers

Badgers have history on their side If history is any indicator, Wisconsin’s recent futility in Rose Bowl Games should end on Jan. 1.

Badgers fans can thank one man and a strange set of circumstances for that. The man is Barry Alvarez, the Hall of Fame coach-turned-athletic director who came out of retirement earlier this month in order to lead the Badgers against Stanford in the 99th Rose Bowl Game.

Alvarez, 65, who retired from coaching in 2005, became a Wisconsin legend by taking a once-dormant football program and turning it into a three-time Rose Bowl champion in the 1990s.

Wisconsin will play in its thirdconsecutive Rose Bowl Game on New Year’s Day, but the Badgers have lost the last two times they’ve ventured to Pasadena. But that was under Bret Bielema, who left Madison to become the coach at Arkansas in early December. Conversely, Alvarez is synonymous with Rose Bowl success.

“There’s no venue prettier in all of sports than the Rose Bowl,” said Alvarez, who had a 118-73-4 record in 16 seasons coaching the Badgers, including the school’s only three Rose Bowl wins in eight trips to Pasadena.

“I feel it’s a special place. I love the atmosphere. I love the week leading up to it. There isn’t anything that I enjoy more.

It doesn’t get a bit old to me. I will enjoy every second of it.”

Alvarez has served as Wisconsin’s Director of Athletics since his retirement from coaching. He knew better than anyone just how much of a lurch the Badgers were in when Bielema stepped down, leaving behind a staff of assistant coaches not ready for a spotlight as bright as the Rose Bowl.

At the urging of current Badgers players, Alvarez made the decision to return to the sideline for this game as a one-shot deal.

His role will be to manage practice and the game, but the job of game planning for Stanford will fall on the assistant coaches.

“I’m excited that the players asked me and want me to be a part of it,” Alvarez said. “When you coach, you coach. There’s

always a chance you’re going to win and always a chance you’re going to lose.

“I expect both coordinators to manage their end of the ball. I think we had a pretty good routine that we did and I want to make sure that we do that because I think we could have a pretty good advantage.”

Las Vegas doesn’t agree with Alvarez, however. The Vegas bookmakers installed Wisconsin (8-5) as a touchdown underdog against No. 8-ranked Stanford (11-2).

Wisconsin only qualified for the Big Ten championship game because both Ohio State and Penn State, who finished ahead of the Badgers in the Big Ten Leaders Division, were ineligible for postseason play.

Once in the Big Ten title game, Wisconsin left nothing to chance and showed it would be just fine as the conference’s representative in Pasadena by putting a 70-31 whipping on Nebraska.

Still, there has been much skepticism surrounding the Badgers because they are a five-loss team playing in a BCS bowl game.

Alvarez is used to the criticism.

A similar situation arose in 1999 when Wisconsin went to the Rose Bowl over Michigan and Ohio State because the Badgers had gone the longest time between appearances in Pasadena. The result:

Wisconsin beat Stanford for Alvarez’s third Rose Bowl win.

“I’ve been through that before when we were the worst team ever to represent (the Big Ten) in the Rose Bowl,” Alvarez said, referring to the 1999 team. “The best comeback to that was, ‘I know there’s at least one team worse than us.’

“I’m not apologizing for us (going) to the Rose Bowl with five losses. We all knew the rules. Whoever wins the Big Ten championship goes to the Rose Bowl.”

It’s that kind of magic that Wisconsin fans hope Alvarez will bring to the field one last time. After losing to TCU in 2011 and Oregon in 2012, Badgers fans want nothing more than to return home from Pasadena with a win in the Grandaddy of Them All. And who better to help them do that than the man who was inducted into the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame in 2009?

“I don’t worry about how one game is going to affect anything that’s been accomplished in the past,” Alvarez said.

“The game hasn’t changed. I have great respect for how Stanford plays. They have a system much like ours. It will be a good challenge for us and I think it’s a great bowl matchup.” R

Story By Steve Ramirez

Kevin Hogan is the perfect fit with Stanford.

Like the Cardinal, Hogan flew under the radar for much of the 2012 season, but when needed, he came through — and Stanford is in the 99th Rose Bowl Game because of him.

“What you don’t see on the stat sheet is that he’s a young kid, but he’s one of those guys that steps in the huddle and acts like he’s been there for years,” Stanford coach David Shaw said. “He doesn’t get rattled. He’s been hit. He’s made mistakes. He’s done the wrong thing at times and it never affects him.

“That’s what you’re looking for as a coach. You’re looking for a guy that stays in the game, even when it gets tough, even when it gets hard and never wavers and never changes.

That’s why he’s been successful for us.”

Hogan, a redshirt freshman from Virginia, has been the difference for Stanford, which won its last seven games, including back-to-back wins over UCLA to advance to the Rose Bowl for the first time since 2000. The 6-foot-4, 224-pounder was MVP of the Pac-12 title-game win over UCLA on Nov. 30.

It didn’t start that way for Hogan. He was third on the depth chart in summer camp and wasn’t part of the two-man battle to replace 2011 Heisman Trophy candidate Andrew Luck.

Josh Nunes of Upland and Brett Nottingham of Alamo had that honor.

But Hogan impressed the Stanford staff, and when Nunes struggled a bit while the Cardinal hit a mid-season

slump by going 3-2, Shaw decided on a change. He turned the keys over to the freshman against Oregon State on Nov. 10.

“Josh played really well in the beginning, played an unbelievable game against USC (in a September upset),” Shaw said. “After that, our production started to slip. But at the same time, Kevin started to show real signs of understanding what we were doing.

“We got into the Colorado game (on Nov. 3) and really planned on splitting time between those two. When Kevin went in, it was like

everything changed. Kevin really took over. For us, after the game, it was pretty much a done deal. It was a sign of his growth and maturity throughout the year because, make no mistake about it, if he played early in the year we wouldn’t be where we are right now.”

But the Cardinal also wouldn’t be coming to Pasadena if Shaw hadn’t made the change. It became apparent a week later against then-No. 10 Oregon State.

Hogan threw for 254 yards and three touchdowns in a 27-23 victory over the Beavers, then followed it up with a 211-

yard effort with a score in a 17-14 upset win over then-No. 1 Oregon.

“I have great players around me,” Hogan said of Stanford’s offense, which includes running back Stepfan Taylor and tight end Zach Ertz. “I just trust them and just get the ball to Stepfan, get the ball to the receivers. I trust my offensive line and they do a great job.”

They also trust Hogan, who showed he was more than a manager, helping Stanford rally for a 27-24 victory over UCLA in the Pac-12 title game.

With UCLA clinging to a seven-point lead after three quarters, Hogan tossed a 26-yard touchdown pass to Drew Terrell to tie it at 24 with 11:26 left before keying a 25yard drive that led to Jordan Williamson’s 36-yard field goal for a 27-24 lead with six minutes left.

“We kind of looked across the field and (UCLA) was riled up,” said Hogan, recalling the beginning of the fourth quarter.

“We knew we had to stay calm and play our style of football.

“We kept to it. We pounded the ball, got good field position and we ended up tying it and then Jordan made a great kick to win it.”

Shaw believes it might not be the last great moment for his freshman quarterback.

“Kevin’s still growing,” he said. “The sky’s the limit for him. We’re really excited about his progress. His ceiling is very high. Kevin didn’t play perfect (against UCLA) but boy, when we needed a play he made it.

“He deserved that MVP (award) for that game because ... a couple of times he put us on his shoulders and played great.” R

Ball looks to add win to record resume

Montee Ball’s senior season is ending a lot better than how it started.

The University of Wisconsin running back has returned to Pasadena as the headliner of his team’s offense for the third consecutive season. But there were days back in the summer when it appeared Ball’s college career was headed toward a disastrous conclusion.

Ball was attacked by three men and knocked unconscious on the night of Aug. 1 as he walked to a favorite eatery near the Wisconsin campus.

For a player who many thought should have been readying for his first NFL season instead of returning for his senior season, the attack was an ominous beginning to what Ball had hoped would be a dream season.

“I faced a lot of criticism for making the decision to come back,” Ball said. “But I wanted to prove to everybody that there was still a lot out there for myself and this team.”

Indeed, there was. And there may be more if Ball can lead the Badgers to a win over No. 8-ranked Stanford in the 99th Rose Bowl Game.

After recovering from injuries suffered in the attack, Ball was forced to play his way into game shape. After some mixed early results, Ball returned to the form that helped him finish 2011 as a Heisman Trophy finalist. Ball finished the 2012 regular season with 1,730 yards and 21 touchdowns.

On Dec. 6, Ball won the Doak Walker Award that is given to the nation’s top running back. His career numbers are so amazing his name figures to be in the

86 | ROSE | PARADE 2013

Running back Montee Ball of the Wisconsin Badgers breaks through the line of the Utah State Aggies.

NCAA, Big Ten and Wisconsin record books for quite some time.

Ball is the NCAA career touchdowns (82) and rushing touchdowns (76) leader. He also holds NCAA single-season records in touchdowns (39 in 2011), consecutive games with two or more touchdowns (13 in 2011) and most points scored by a non-kicker (236 in 2011).

But one thing missing from Ball’s exceptional resume is a win in the Rose Bowl, and he’s got just one more shot at it on Jan. 1.

“This one being my last one, it would be the cherry on top for me,” Ball said. “To end my college career on a win, it would be fantastic.”

Ball’s hometown of Wentzville, Mo., has a population just under 30,000.

Despite playing at tiny

Timberland High School, Ball’s talents were undeniable. The all-state running back quickly showed up on the radar of major colleges across the country.

Ball chose Wisconsin and immediately fit in as the latest in a long line of accomplished Badgers running backs. The 5-foot-11, 215-pounder could have turned pro after three seasons but chose to return in a decision that left many scratching their heads.

With one final game left to add to his legend, Rose Bowl Game MVP seems like a doable goal and is just about the only individual honor Ball hasn’t attained. But that would mean winning the game. It would seem to be a fitting final chapter in a storied career.

“We had bumps in the road, so I wouldn’t have believed

this at all,” Ball said of being back in the Rose Bowl. “I was struggling out of the gate just because I didn’t have a chance to practice with teammates because of the situation that happened in summer. I’m really glad we stuck to the plan, stuck with the formula and kept at it.”

And in case you’re wondering, the Rose Bowl experience never gets old. Even for a three-time veteran like Ball.

“For a small-town kid, and the majority of us are smalltown kids, just being in L.A. living the fast life a little bit and the environment of the game is something you dream of playing in,” Ball said. “That’s something I’ve enjoyed the most — just standing on the sidelines and seeing the jets go over top during the national anthem and just being a part of it. It’s wonderful.” R

the game

Rose Bowl: Forever a work in progress Rose Bowl CEO and General Manager Darryl Dunn says he vividly recalls the moment when he knew his place of employment was more than concrete and steel.

“I started to work for Rose Bowl management in 1995,” Dunn said. “At my first Rose Bowl, I was surprised that there came a moment, right around 5 o’clock, when thousands of flash bulbs went off.

Nothing was going on in the game at that point, and I couldn’t figure out why everyone was taking photos.

“Then someone pointed out that, at 5 o’clock, the setting sun reflects off the mountains and you get this absolutely incredible view from inside the stadium.

That’s when I realized the Rose Bowl was a very special place, quite apart from the Game.”

Keeping the Rose Bowl a very special place is Dunn’s job and very much his passion.

“It’s iconic,” he says of the 90-year-old structure. “It’s not just another building.

I think it is the most significant stadium in the world. The history of the place is remarkable. It’s had an incredible run.

“But you can’t just sit on your hands.

You want to maintain, and you also want to improve. And you want to do that without losing the integrity of the original structure.”

Rose Bowl management embarked on the current improvement plan in 2002. Not all of the improvements put in place for the 2013 Rose Bowl Game can be seen by the eye. But the 90,000 pairs of feet walking in to the Arroyo Seco will notice, due to easier tunnel access, easier seat access and quicker exits.

ABOVE: Rose Bowl CEO and General Manager Darryl Dunn at the historic venue. BELOW: Start of the Rose Bowl construction in 1921.

The latest Rose Bowl construction project is one in a long line. In fact, the day the Rose Bowl officially opened, for the CalUSC game on Oct. 28, 1922, it was still under construction. Likely, it will always remain a work in progress.

Currently, there are limitations imposed on it. The Rose Bowl is a registered historic landmark, and it needs to maintain its integrity within the environment of the Arroyo Seco as well as co-exist with the surrounding residential neighborhood.

Then there are the financial constraints of being tied to the purse strings of a city facing tough times. They all seem to be obstacles to progress.

But Dunn has come to see the limitations as a framework rather than a fence.

“We have to embrace who we are,” Dunn said. “We are never going to be another Cowboys Stadium. We won’t have all those bells and whistles, and that’s not a

bad thing.

“For example, we knew we needed to install a new video board, but it had to work within the profile of the stadium. So we opted for a smaller version that doesn’t overpower the oval. And we placed it so that it doesn’t block that mountain view.

“Many of the ongoing renovations are in areas the public is never going to see. The stadium’s electrical infrastructure had to be upgraded and that’s been an expensive proposition. But it’s not an investment the fan is going to notice.”

Indeed, Dunn says most of the changes so far have been subtle ones.

“Removing the low-lying seats, adding aisles, widening tunnels. These aren’t things that will have a big impact visually but are definitely improvements you will notice when entering and exiting the stadium,” he said.

“We also knew we needed to add

Ohio State coach Woody Hayes gets carried off the field after the Ohio State 42-21 victory over USC during the 1974 Rose Bowl Game.

By then, the goal of Rose Bowl management was to become the first bowl game to attract 100,000 people. Additional seating adjustments were made and the stadium hit that number for the 1950 Rose Bowl Game, when 101,000 turned out to see Ohio State upset previously unbeaten Cal. In 1960, the Rose Bowl added a press box, in large part to accommodate members of the broadcast media. In 1969, aluminum seating had replaced the aging wooden benches.

The 1970s saw continued upgrades of

seating, increasing capacity. New locker rooms were completed and concession stands were added.

In the 1980s, earthquake refitting took place, a new public address system was installed and parking was improved. The 1990s saw a new press box and theaterstyle seating. In 2007, newer locker rooms and a media center were completed.

And so it goes.

“There are always upgrades you’d like to see,” Dunn said. “We are only limited by our imagination and, of course, finances.

That, and the realization that we can’t lose track of our mission.

“Look at what happened in Miami, where the Orange Bowl wasn’t taken care of and eventually was torn down. Or in Dallas, where the Cotton Bowl has fallen into disuse. You have to stay up with the times, keep the stadium experience fresh, maintain the property.

“It’s a difficult balancing act, balancing the old with the new. We need to embrace who we were and at the same time, look to the future. I happen to think our future is very bright.” R

premium seating, whether or not there’s ever another NFL game played here.

It’s both something the modern-day fan expects and something that was very important to do to generate more revenue.”

Dunn balks at many of the revenue generators in use at other stadiums, such as wall-to-wall advertising and corporate sponsorship.

“No stadium in the world has the brand we do,” he said. “By its very existence, the Rose Bowl makes Pasadena a worldclass city. So it makes little sense to slap a corporate name on it, even though that would bring in revenue.”

When the Rose Bowl hosted its first Rose Bowl Game in 1923, it was horseshoeshaped and sat 57,000 spectators — all on wooden benches. Immediately, Rose Bowl managers made plans to expand.

By 1928, the stadium was completely enclosed and seating capacity was listed at 75,000. Permanent stands were installed in 1931, seating was re-configured and capacity increased to 83,000. Continued tinkering with seating boosted capacity to 87,000 by 1937, 89,000 in 1938 and 90,000 by 1940.

His father, an electrician by trade, was between jobs in 1922 and decided, based on the balmy Southern California weather, to have the family rough it until things picked up financially. Thus, the Atwells were residing in a large tent nestled in the Arroyo Seco.

“Back then, the Arroyo Seco was out in the country,” Atwell said. “It had been a dairy farm until the farmer sold it to the city in 1920. It was reported he got $250,000 for the farm, which seemed like a fortune back then. Nowadays, it sounds like the city got a real sweet deal.”

Atwell and his three brothers, Dick, Bud and Bob, grew up in Pasadena, and all became noteworthy baseball players.

“Oh no, my folks couldn’t afford the price of a ticket to the Rose Bowl,” Atwell said. “And as an adult I just never had the time until I retired from the Pasadena Fire Department.

“But I spent many an hour in Brookside Park. Played baseball and softball at the diamonds there. And my brothers used to play football there on the lawn in the shadow of the Rose Bowl. Of course, we pretended we were all the great college players, playing in the Rose Bowl Game. I bet almost every kid in Pasadena did that.”

At 90, Atwell reports he’s in relatively good health. The same can be said for the Rose Bowl.

“They’ve done a good job of keeping up the property,” Atwell said. “You know, the amazing thing to me is, that place was built with money that was donated, a nickel and dime at a time, from people here in town.”

Indeed. Efforts by members of the Tournament of Roses Association raised nearly $275,000 in donations, allowing for construction to begin on the Rose Bowl in late 1921. That $275,000 wouldn’t go far

“A few years back, we were beginning the process to upgrade the Rose Bowl and managed to come up with $1 million,” said Darryl Dunn, Rose Bowl CEO and general manager. “So it’s a very expensive process, unfortunately.

of maintaining the stadium. The reality is, very, very few sports venues last 90 years.

The fact that the Rose Bowl is still here, and is in good shape, is a real testament to the city’s and the T of R’s determination to keep it going.”

Jane Goodall and the women in khakis in the wild

JANE Goodall is plain and simple Jane Goodall, and not to be confused with any other intrepid explorer.

The Pasadena Tournament of Roses — in the person of President Sally Bixby — is borrowing Dame Jane as Grand Marshal of the 2013 Rose Parade, so for our purposes she has another role: rolling up and down Orange Grove and Colorado in an open car on New Year’s Day, exemplifying Sally’s parade theme: “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” You might just go, for instance, to Kenya’s Gombe Stream National Park, and frolic with the other primates.

But for Valerie Jane Morris-Goodall, DBE, the world’s leading expert on chimpanzees, everything since 1958 has revolved around understanding and protecting chimps. She is one of the greatest grand marshals ever, a choice beyond reproach. You can bet that she accepted this latest honor — there have been many others — for no other reason than to advance her singular cause.

Singular, I say. But as a young person, I was always a bit confused about Goodall and her place in the pantheon of the women in khakis in the wild.

I remember those early National Geographic stories about Olduvai Gorge, about Goodall going there by accident and how Louis Leakey sent her back to London to take a doctorate at Cambridge — only the eighth person to receive the Ph.D there without the benefit of even a bachelor’s degree.

But at the time, there was that other WKW — Joy Adamson, the Austrian lion lady who raised and then released the cute cub Elsa. Adamson’s life was fictionalized in the movie “Born Free.”

Then there was the matter of Dian Fossey, a San Franciscan zoologist who took on the study of the biggest of the primates in the Rwandan mountain

forests and was portrayed by Sigourney Weaver in “Gorillas in the Mist.” Also, a Leakey protege.

To compound confusing matters for your correspondent when he was young, there is a fourth WKW — and a third protege of Leakey — Birute Galdikas, the leading researcher on that other major ape, the orangutan. She encountered the old man of anthropology when she was a grad student at UCLA. It was apparently hard to convince Leakey to fund her passion — perhaps because the ‘tans live in Indonesia, unlike the objects of the fascination of our three other WKWs. But he finally did so. And so Galdikas became the third of “Leakey’s Angels.” She is still living among her apes, married to a tribal elder of Borneo.

And, to bring it all together — for me at least — Birute became a family friend after my mother and stepfather went to help with her work in Indonesia through an Earthwatch program. They brought back the most endearing slide show about the little curlingarmed tree-swingers, along with gruesome tales of the many leeches they had to pull off their legs after fording streams in the jungle. They also brought back Birute, who became an occasional guest at the house here in Pasadena.

All of these field scientists were quite fetching in their youths to a boy interested in the outdoors. What was it with these WKWs? There’s a doctoral thesis for someone. Is it sexist to lump them together because they were women? Two, Adamson and Fosse, died in Africa under mysterious circumstances — killed not by their critters but by unknown people who I’m guessing didn’t care for their conservationist work.

Somehow, their swaggering wild lives were encouraging to a young person determined to find places he would go. R
