Local Limeys Pack Brits for World Cup MatchAsk anyone across the

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

By Terry Miller

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Jane Johnson has granted a permanent injunction against criminal conduct by members of two local street gangs.

Judge Johnson took the action Thursday, June 10, signing the injunction against members of the Monrovia Nuevo Varrio and the Duroc Crips gangs. The injunction covers six square miles in the City of Monrovia and adja-cent Los Angeles County territory to the south.

A preliminary injunc-tion has been in place since December. Since then, au-

Limeys Pack Brits for World Cup

About 250 people in-cluding Rolfe Jones, Stew-art Suckling and George Car ter pictured above packed Brits Pub on Colo-rado Saturday morning to watch the games and clearly the Brits were dis-appointed with England’s performance, despite the game ending in a 1-1 draw.

“It should have been one nil if it wasn’t for that (expletive) Green” yelled one hard core England fan, referring to the British goalie, who’s inexplicable blunder allowed the only American goal of the day.

As t he pint s went down, so did the spirits of those who expected an easy win over the USA.

Despite England ‘s goal-keeper Robert Green giving USA’s Clint Dempsey’s what everyone agreed was a stoppable goal, the game offered genuine evidence that soccer may finally be gaining some steam as a spectator sport within the U.S. All over the world, bil-lions of fans will continue to follow their favorite teams throughout the month-long

Continued from the First Page

The Sunday edition of the New York Post bore a headline that would in most cases be confusing, to say the least. The American team was so widely expected to lose the match, that stateside, even a draw was considered a great victory.world competition.

It’s been 60 years since the U.S. and Eng-land played in a World Cup match - the last match end-ing in a shocking 1-0 U.S. upset in 1950.

There were no harsh feelings Saturday after-noon at Brits though, as

Amer ican fans decked out in red, white and blue mixed easily with English fans draped in Cross of St. George flags.

All this month, Brits will be the place to see more World Cup action. The pub is located at 1770 East Colorado in Pasadena.

Many Options Today, More Tomorrow From MetroIn the 20 years since rail transit returned to LA, the Metro Rail system has grown to nearly 80 miles throughout the county. Many more transit projects are currently in the works thanks to Measure R with the proposed “30/10 Initiative” seeking to complete 12 of them, scheduled over the next 30 years, in just 10 years. Find out more at metro.net.

Outsmart Tra;c, Dial 511 Call 511 or visit Go511.com for free up-to-the minute traffic updates and transit planning. The toll-free 511 number can help improve your commute and keep you informed about travel conditions before leaving the house and while on the road. And you can call 511 and say “Trip Planner” to schedule your bus or train trip 24/7.

June 26 Groundbreaking For Foothill Extension The first new rail project funded by Measure R, an 11.4-mile extension of the Metro Gold Line between Pasadena and Azusa, will celebrate its groundbreaking June 26. This first phase of the Foothill Extension connects to the current Gold Line at the Sierra Madre Villa Station.

Free Parking On Eastside ExtensionA new parking garage with 266 free parking spaces has opened at the Metro Gold Line Atlantic Station in East LA. The three story structure is located at Atlantic Boulevard and Pomona Avenue, just across the street from the station. The free parking is available on a first come, first serve basis.

New Metro Fares Go Into E=ect July 1Beginning July 1, the cash fare for regular riders will be $1.50; a day pass will be $6; the Metro weekly pass $20; and a monthly pass $75. The fare change was approved three years ago as part of a two-step fare restructuring. Fares for seniors, students, the disabled and Medicare recipients will stay at current levels. Metro Silver Line fares also will not change.

Dorothy's PlaceI’m NOT 90

No, no, no, no folks. I am not 90. I may sometimes feel like I am 90, but I am NOT 90.

A couple of weeks ago I did a column about words to live by. I quoted a woman who was 90. I said I was quoting her. I put quo-tation marks around her words. It didn’t work. At least one reader I know got confused. She thought I was quoting myself. She thought I said I am 90.

She commented to a group of mutual friends, “Can you believe Doro-thy is 90?” “What?” one answered. “I am older than she is.” Another said, “No she’s not. She is younger than me and I’m only 82.” The con-fused one said, “But she must be. She said so in her column.”

In case anyone else was confused, perhaps it was because a colon was omitted. Whatever.

But no, no, no, no I am not 90.

Neither am I retired from writing my weekly column. A colleague, whose name also hap-pens to be Dorothy, is. My friend Dorothy Cunningham retired from writing her weekly social events column in The Star.

The Thursday she made her announce-ment and my ‘90’ col-umn came out; I was standing at the recep-tion desk in the Arcadia Community Center. A dear volunteer came up, put her arm around my shoulder and kindly said, “I’m so sorry you are not going to be writing Dorothy’s Place anymore.”

I questioned, “I’m not?” She said, “Well ‘Nellie’ saw an an-nouncement on the internet today that you are retiring..” I replied, “Well, not unless they have fired me and I haven’t gotten the word

yet.”’Nellie’ turned to the computer, clicked it up, and there was the announcement- - -Doro-thy Cunningham was retiring. Since then I’ve heard from others who have heard it is I.

Over the years peo-ple were often confused between us. I never fully understood that, since our writings had very little in common except they were written by a Dorothy.

Maybe it was be-cause both Dorothys are very gorgeous, very well-preserved, and very talented.

Would you all please help spread THAT rumor. And, while you’re at it, would you spread the word that I am not 90.

It has been said, that there is “no substitute for time.” Only through its passage can many of life’s experiences be fully under-stood. This Father’s Day I reflect back on a lesson of life and a Fa-ther that has ceased to teach and comfort me. I would like to invite you along for a single night with a man that has left this Earthy place but dwells eternally within my heart. The article below was written and published before his passing, a couple of years ago.

My entire life has been an eight course meal. In my late teens I had the distin-guished position of bagger at the local supermarket, and later with references, I was able to move to Jur-gensen’s Gourmet Grocery. There I was to learn about fine wines, exotic cheeses and my kryptonite, dry aged beef. I guess it all start-ed there because at twen-ty-three I was pretentious about food. For many years I thought that was where it all started for me - there in those markets - but through the years I have come to re-alize that I was wrong. For many of us it is the famous athlete, or religious figure,

Father’s Day Tribute: My Evening with a Restaurant CriticBy Peter Dills

for others it is a musical master or the profound artist that they find inspira-tion and discovery in. How many times in life, if ever, do you get a chance to sit with those that inspire and challenge life with a depth of wisdom? Most will never get the opportunity. If I can claim one prize in this life; I have had the opportunity to observe, speak with and lastly follow in the footsteps of one person that holds that

place for me. They have been labeled “The greatest generation” for a reason and each day another champion from that storied generation of America, “slowly goes into the night.”

Many of you know that my Father Elmer Dills was on television and radio for twenty-eight years here in Los Angeles. I had the op-portunity to dine and share with my mentor a few weeks ago. I have been out with my

Father at least five hundred times, but as a fine wine, wisdom increases in its depth and flavor as it ages.

On this night our ad-venture took us to Mad-eleines in Pasadena (since closed). It seems that my dad is a regular there and lately he’s been a little under the weather. I have heard him say nothing but praise of this place, so it’s off to Madelienes.

“Table fo r t h ree , please”. On this evening we have my daughter Lau-ren (the budding Critic), Pops and me. Whenever I see courteous, well-behaved children I know their par-ents are invariably going to be respectful people. Likewise whenever I get a compliment, I know it goes beyond just me. As we sit to dine, there is no call for attention and gratification, just a smooth easy feeling being in his court. As we talk, I am struck that there is no air of condemnation but rather one of deep respect for the people that more often than not get it right in this business. My dad, the legendary restaurant critic, doesn’t even ask what the ingredients of the dishes are as he orders. He doesn’t re-

quest to see the sommelier. Is he a restaurant critic, I am waiting for a sign? This is just as natural as going to dinner with a group of friends, I think to myself.

Madeleines is/was lo-cated on Green St. at the bottom of an office building with many different rooms like a Victorian house. There is a patio, a bar, and a large dining room. We sat overlooking the patio with a fireplace that added a per-fect touch of ambience. The restaurant is quietly attrac-tive, cozy and well-spaced. What’s more, you even feel a little smarter here, know-ing that Albert Einstein often slept upstairs while he was visiting Cal Tech.

The waiter was kind enough to have it cut for him. Daughter Lauren or-dered the Pork Chops and gave it two training thumbs up. Now that is a com-pliment. Not sure if high heels work in this business though, as you never know when you may encounter a chef that feels you have lev-eled capricious discourse with your pen on the one hand and possess a frying pan in the other.

Back to Dad, the wait-er asks, “How was the meal” and I know 99% of you when asked would give the response, “Fine, Thank You.” Nope, the restaurant critic said, “The lamb chops were great!” “And the dessert was?” A shrugged of the shoulders told it all. That is the hones-ty and passion that got me involved in this business.

Happy Fathers Day, dad. I would never trade sitting across the table from you for anything.

Kids Can Find Summer Fun at Camp Whittle

Besides a passpor t and laptop computer, a camera is the most im-portant thing in my travel pack. Without a good one to capture my getaways, I would be lost.

So when I saw a com-mercial about the new-ly introduced Olympus PEN E-PL1 digital cam-era that helps bridge the gap between the serious point - and- shooter and professiona l photogra -pher, I knew I had to investigate. To do this, I got a hold of the camera and took it to the zoo for a test ride. The camera passed the exam with f ly ing, br i l l iant colors, sharp images, and vivid video.

Packed in a surpris-i ng ly sma l l ca se , t he EPL -1 has a retro look and is full of technology normally found in big-ger, bulkier DSLR cam-eras and High Definition (HD) camcorders. It is highlighted by features such as 12.3 megapixels, an innovative Live Guide menu, six art filters, one-touch HD video, built-in pop-up f lash, and inter-changeable lenses.

The un ique L ive Guide in the E-PL1 takes some of the mystery out of g rea t photog raphy. Thanks to this feature, users don’t have to know things like f-stops, shutter speed and white balance; they can instantly begin composing and adjusting scenes, using funct ions such a s “br ight nes s ,”

Traveling with My New Olympus Camera

“background blur” and “color saturation”– right on the LCD – before the shot is taken.

For creative picture taking, the E-PL1 boasts six built - in Art Filters: pop art, soft focus, grainy film, pin hole, diorama and gentle sephia. These effects can transform ev-eryday snapshots in to photographic works of art. By turning the cam-era dial “Art” I used the grainy film filter on an elephant and got a beau-tiful shot that looked like it was taken in the 1950s. And by setting it on pin hole, I got an interesting giraffe head shot peeping through a shadow.

Another cool feature of the EPL-1 is one-touch high definition (HD) vid-eo recording. Just push

the red but ton on the camera panel and you are instantly recording video at 30 frames per second in 720p. If you’re about to t ake a pic tu re and suddenly want to switch to v ideo, simply press “record” and the camera starts rolling.

O t h e r i m p o r t a n t camera features include the ability to choose be-tween a var iety of dif-ferent lenses; a pop-up f lash to illuminate low-light subjects; 19 differ-ent scene-select modes including n ight scene, portrait , landscape, ac-t ion and more; image stabi l izat ion bui lt into camera body; and 12.3 megapixels of powerful picture definition.

After a nearly a two year delay, the result of grant funds being frozen by the state — and now released, work has finally begun on the City of Du-arte’s Encanto Nature Walk Bioswale and Outdoor Na-ture Classroom project at Encanto Park.

In 2008, the San Gabri-el and Lower Los Angeles Rivers and Mountain Con-servancy (RMC) granted $507,990 to Duarte for the project, following a plan-ning grant of $150,000 in 2006. In addition to the ecological benefits of the bioswale, the nature walk and outdoor nature class-room will open up edu-cational and recreational opportunities for visitors to the park and the adjacent San Gabriel River.

“We’re very excited to be partnering with the Riv-ers and Mountains Conser-vancy. The Encanto Nature Walk is destined to be one of the jewels in the regional Emerald Necklace Project. The bioswale will filter the surface water from the park before it reaches the San Ga-briel River. The entire proj-

ect will serve as a valuable educational feature for one of Duarte’s most popular parks,” said Duarte Engi-neering Development Man-ager, Steve Esbenshade.

The 1,000 foot bioswale being constructed along the southern and western perimeter of the park will include interpretive signage, native landscaping and a small infiltration basin to manage storm runoff from the park. The project will also include:

*A small outdoor na-ture center with interpretive displays and an outdoor classroom located at the

south end of Encanto Park funded with $100,000 from Proposition A funds from Los Angeles County Super-visor Michael D. Antonov-ich. The City also contrib-uted $20,000 in matching funds.

*Nature trail with in-terpretive exhibits lead-ing from the nature center along the west bank of the San Gabriel River to a view point located at the end of a berm which projects into the river channel. A princi-pal objective of the project will be to enhance connec-tions between the park and the river.

The City was able to get a head start on the river portion of the project last year utilizing $150,000 in Proposit ion A funds provided by Los Angeles County Supervisor Gloria Molina. Funds were used to remove a chain link fence and screen of non-native plants that had previously isolated visitors from the attractive river environ-ment. The City involved at-risk youth in the project by contracting with the Los Angeles Conservation Corps. The Conservation Corps workers will also be employed to construct the river trail and viewpoint.

America West Land-scape, Inc. has been con-t racted by the City to construct the bioswale, nature center and out -door classroom at a cost of $431,244.90.

The entire project is ex-pected to be completed this fall. Duarte’s street main-tenance staff will provide long term maintenance for the project and will receive training for native land-scape maintenance from Amigos de los Rios.

“Phil Sanchez has a strong background in po-lice management and a reputation as a leader who is sensitive to community issues,” said Beck. “I am confident he will be well-received in the Pasadena community and the Pasa-dena Police Department.”

S a nche z , 5 3 , h a s served for 30 years with the Santa Monica Police Department, where he is currently the deputy chief of police.

He i s a mong t he

Pasadena Taps Santa Monica Deputy Chief as New Top CopContinued from the

First Pagefounders of Santa Mon-ica’s Chronic Homeless Project, a collaborat ive program of police, the Santa Monica Commu-nity and Cultural Services Department and socia l service agencies that work strategically to improve care and referral servic-es for homeless persons. He helped develop Santa Monica’s Serial Inebriate Outreach Program that, as an alternative to incar-ceration, provides coun-seling services to homeless persons who have alcohol and drug dependency is-sues.

He was instrumental in developing the Com-munity Forum on Gang Violence, a series of work-shops in Santa Monica that provided an oppor-tunity for residents and other stakeholders to work collaboratively to reduce youth violence, increase communication and im-prove relat ionships be-tween law enforcement

and the community. Sanchez has received

the Santa Monica Police Department’s Medal of Courage twice for heroic actions during tactical op-erations. He served as the incident commander for several critical incidents, including a hostage situa-tion at the Santa Monica Pier in 2004. He also is the recipient of the depart-ment’s Medal of Merit for development of Spe-cial Weapons and Tactics (SWAT). He has been honored as Officer of the Year by the Rotary Club of Santa Monica and the Optimist Club of Santa Monica.

He earned his bach-elor’s degree in manage-ment from the University of Redlands and his mas-ter’s degree in security studies from the U.S. Na-val Postgraduate School in Monterey, where he graduated with honors and received the Curtis H. “Butch” Straub Award

for exemplary academics and leadership. He also is a graduate of the Senior Management Institute for Police, the FBI National Academy, and the Cali-fornia Commission on Police Officer Standards and Tra in ing (POST) Command College for Ex-ecutive Leadership, where he received the Hank E.

Sanchez is a strong proponent of education. For the past 10 years he has taught at the Orange County Sheriff’s Acad-emy as an adjunct instruc-tor and frequently lectures at local schools, colleges and universities on a va-riety of topics including civil rights and the law, homeland security and mass casualty response. He recently was selected to serve on an advisory commission that is ex-ploring the development of a course in homeland security for Santa Monica

Community College. As a youth he was an

Eagle Scout, the highest rank attainable with the Boy Scouts of America, and part icipated in the 1974 Rose Parade car -rying a banner that an-nounced the float honored with the Queen’s Trophy. He remains active in Boy Scouts and has presented the Eagle Scout Award to many young men.

Sanchez intends to begin working right away with Pasadena Police De-partment personnel while becoming act ively in -volved in the community.

“I have deep respect for the men and women of the Pasadena Police Department, which has a tremendous reputation in the world of law enforce-ment,” said Sanchez. “I also am a strong propo-nent of community collab-oration and integration. A police department or police chief cannot im-prove public safety alone;

it requires an entire com-munity working together.”

Sanchez and his wife Deborah live in Orange County and have four adult children and three grandchildren. He is an avid bicyclist.

He is a member of the California Police Chiefs Associat ion, for which he recent ly completed service as a board mem-ber, the Police Executive Research Forum and the Hispanic American Po-l ice Command Off icers Associat ion, for which he formerly served as a v ice pres ident .

Pasadena Pops Orchestra

Rachael Worby, conductor of Pasadena Pops and Paul Zdunek unveil the bandshell for the new Rose Bowl concert site last year.

Music Director, Ra-chael Worby, kicks off the Pasadena Pops Orchestra season for the Pasadena Symphony Association at its new location at-the-lawn adjacent to the Rose Bowl, Pasadena, at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 19, with a fireworks spectacular, acro-bats, and plenty of music. It is a picnic concert.

Although you’d think the music would get the top billing, the Pops is subdued when talking about the program except to hint that they will be playing some Bizet(“Carmen”), Tchai-kovsky (“Swan Lake”), Khachatur ian (“Gayne Ballet Suite”), and some-thing listed as Toreadors. This is not the Boston Pops under Arthur Fieldler.

Instead, the star of the show by advertising space are the fireworks, and second, Cirque de la Symphonie. This Cirque is a popular act that uses clas-sical music to accentuate its aerial f lyers, acrobats, contort ionists, dancers, jugglers, balancers and strongmen. They have al-ready performed with 20 symphony orchestras so far

this year and are booked to appear with 50 more before year’s end.

Pasadena Pops sea-son wi l l include three more Saturday concerts: “I Love NY”, Ju ly 17; “All That Jazz”, August 14; and “Hooray for Hol-lywood”, September 25.

Amenities: Your own picnic, or pre-order from Ju l ienne, Por ta Via or California Pizza Kitchen for pick-up onsite. Full cash bar and beverages inside the enclosed area.

Free parking (VIP park-ing available with $1,000 donation) at Arroyo and Seco. Family fun by Kid-space Museum. Grounds open at 5:30 p.m.

A Tribute to My Father

Father’s Day is June 20, 2010. Most every-where, people take this op-portunity to express their gratitude to their Dads and to tell them just how much they are loved and appreci-ated.

I can remember as a young boy how I idol-ized my father and studied every move that he made. I would sit in his lap and look at his face, admire his clothes and most of all I treasured his gold watch and chain. I would sit and listen to the ticks of his watch and count the seconds as they tolled off to the next minute. Oh, to be just like my dad was my great desire. He was a strong tender and caring man. I shall always remem-ber the day I ask my father if I could have a watch for my 6th birthday. His re-sponse, well, we’ll see son, that is a long time off. That was a yes in my mind and I was so happy. Sometime later, on my birthday, sure enough there was the most beautiful gleaming watch I

had ever seen, chain and all.“Now son,” my Father

said, “you must keep it for good ... or you will lose it.” Those words passed by my hearing. My excitement to show it to my friends was all that I could contain and think about. Shortly after receiving the watch I was playing with two playmates, showing and checking the time throughout the day.

Later, when it was ap-proaching time to return home for dinner, I reached for my watch but it was gone. I was so frightened to see that it was no longer connected to my belt loop. Oh...what will I do...The many consequences that rushed through my mind were unbearable. My two friends helped me search all around the play area swings to see if it had fallen into the sawdust. Frantically we dug around to no avail.

Suddenly, a peace came over me as I mur-mured a frightened and tearful plea. “Please God help me to find my watch.” Then like lightening I re-membered my dad saying. “Quiet Wally, and listen to the beautiful sound of the watch ticking.” Wow. That

was the answer! I yelled to my playmates... “Be Qui-et!” as I put my head down onto the sawdust, oh, my, I heard my watch ticking away, and there it was lying under a mound of sawdust. Oh, what Joy flooded over me.

No, I didn’t tell my dad about almost losing my new watch that day, but I knew then, that my other “Father” ... God ... had answered the fervent pray of a young boy.

My father un-expec-tantly died of Pneumonia shortly after that memora-ble incident in my life, but I still treasure that old dollar watch, and I also treasure my many wonderful memo-ries of my Father, and his loving kindness. Yes, and I still idolize him today! Happy Father’s Day Dad!

Fathers play a unique and important role in the lives of their children. Championship Fathers aren’t perfect. But as mentors, protectors, and providers, they fundamen-tally influence the shape and direction of a child’s character. I sincerely wish all of the Fathers across our nation a most loving and happy Father’s Day 2010!
