REDLANDS

You can never go home again.

That’s the expression, a wistful provocation

of faded memories, the loss of innocence and

the passage of time, all rolled into a tidy package.

But, honestly, it’s bunk. Total and absolute bunk.

one only needs to walk along orange Street and Redlands

Boulevard, or wander through the A.K. Smiley Library,

the grounds at Kimberly Crest or listen to music at the

Redlands Bowl or Sylvan Park on the Fourth of July

to know the real truth of it. You can go home.

In fact, you can even choose never to leave, because home

is a place we cherish and preserve in the stillness of our hearts.

Sure there’s a physicality to it, something found around town — perhaps at

Memorial Hall, Stell Coffee & Tea Co., the Lincoln Shrine or in your own back yard.

But there’s also something more: this community of life we share with

our neighbors, families and friends. And it’s something to revisit often if not

dwell within.

So with this summer season, we celebrate the home of our hearts with the

traditions of community: musical performances, patriotic high notes, the chords

of young performers and the return of a favorite son, Landon Donovan.

Nights of John Philip Sousa, evenings at the Bowl, walks in the park — that’s what

summer and home are all about. Thank goodness, you can go home — don’t let

anyone say it’s not so.

cover story | landon donovan

for a hometown heroHomecoming

PHoto by Eric tom


By KEVIN TRUDGEON

For one day in april, eSpn took

over the redlands east Valley High

School campus. Filming a segment for

the show “Homecoming,” a series that

focuses on star athletes and where they grew up,

the lights and cameras of the worldwide leader

in sports descended upon reV to tell the story

of perhaps the most famous Wildcat of all —

landon donovan.

a former student and soccer star, donovan has

blossomed into what many experts believe to be

the best soccer player in the United States.

after a lunch-time segment that had donovan

and “Homecoming” host rick reilly goofing

around in front of some reV students, the show

moved into the Wildcat Gym for a one-on-one

interview in front of a packed house of family,

friends and fans.

donovan was asked about everything from how

he started playing soccer to the moment when he

knew he had a chance to be something special.

The show is scheduled to air on June 10, a day

before donovan and his USa teammates begin

competition in the World Cup. redlands daily

Facts reporter Jesse B. Gill caught up with

donovan during his homecoming and asked him

a few questions.

Question: From the way eSpn explained it,

they asked you what places you’d like to go

to in redlands and you picked reV. Why?

Answer: it might not have been the obvious

choice because i only spent a year

and a half here, but i feel

that a big part of my

growth — as

a soccer player and as a

person — happened here.

i really came into my

own here. physically,

soccer star finds his refuge from the world stage here in redlands

it was when I really started growing.

Mentally, this is where a lot of things

started happening in my career.

Q: Can you attribute that growth

to any particular coach or administrator

or teacher?

A: I had a lot of really good teachers.

I was very fortunate (for them) to kind

of help me along the way. More than any

other was Coach (Pat) Hafley, who

I originally met at Moore Middle School.

He later worked at Redlands High School,

but I’ve kept in touch with him forever.

I had a few teachers here at REV who were

really instrumental in different ways.

Q: When was the last time you were

on the REV campus?

A: I came back in December, and I ran

around the track. But actually being inside

the gates, that hasn’t happened for a really

long time. It’s probably been at least 10 or

11 years since I’ve been inside the campus.

Q: You attended REV right at the

beginning of its existence. Ten years later,

does it seem like a lot has changed?

A: There are some pieces of it that are

a little different, like the baseball field and

stuff like that.

But for the most part, it looks pretty

similar. It’s always smaller than you

remember, because you were smaller then

and everything seemed so big. It’s a little

different in that sense.

Q: What are some of your fondest

memories about your time at REV?

A: This hill (leading down to the JV

baseball field), believe it or not, is where

we spent a lot of our time doing fitness in

preseason. We’d start down at the bottom

and run up and down the whole time. So

maybe that wasn’t a fond memory, but it

was a decent memory.

And then the main field down there is

where we played a lot of our games. That

was important because it taught me that

you have to do these things if this is where

you want to go, and if you don’t do these

things, you’re not going to make it

as a professional athlete.

Q: Every Wildcat hears about how you

went to REV and the great things you’ve

gone on to accomplish, especially the

soccer players. What piece of advice would

you offer the current Wildcat soccer stars?

A: I’m aware that there are realities

to all of this. Not every person who comes

through here is going to wind up being

a professional athlete. For me, the biggest

thing — and my mom always told me this

— is that you have to have fun.

And if you’re enjoying it, you can do

anything. Did I necessarily want to be

running up and down the hill and doing

fitness all the time? No, but I knew that

it was going to make the game easier

and more enjoyable for me. And that’s

what I love to do.

I played as much as I could. Whether

your sport is volleyball, tennis, baseball,


Going with the FLOIt’s no wonder that Landon Donovan, who went pro at age 16 and has played

in Germany, England and currently with the U.S. World Cup team, has sponsors. There are the expected, Nike and Gatorade, and a newcomer, FLO TV*, which isn’t as well known.

FLO TV is a subscription service that provides live portable TV programming, via either a personal FLO TV or a handheld device including some mobile phones. This year FLO TV is offering live ESPN coverage of all 64 matches in the FIFA World Cup.

And as part of its advertising campaign, FLO TV has produced a 30-second spot featuring Donovan watching a game as he dribbles a soccer ball on a darkened field. The spot can be viewed on Donovan’s Facebook page as well as at www.FLOTV.com.

football or whatever — if you’re enjoying it,

you’re going to get pretty far.

Q: From travel clubs to the U.S. national

teams, you were playing on big stages at

a really young age. It seems like your time

at REV, playing for your high school varsity

team, was kind of the last time you were

able to really be a kid, play with your

friends and just play for fun. Do you

miss that?

A: I absolutely miss that. The game now

involves pressure, a lot of preparation and

a lot of hard work. There’s still obviously

fun involved, but it’s not the same as when

we were here.

Some of my fondest memories as an

athlete are from this school because

it was just fun. It was guys that you could

really relate to. And then at the end of the

day, whether you won or lost, it wasn’t that

big of a deal. Nobody really cared. We

always wanted to win, but it wasn’t as

big of a deal as it is now.

Q: What did you like most about

growing up in Redlands?

A: It’s a town that not too many people

know about, but it’s a beautiful town. Some

of my best memories are waking up in the

morning and having the sun come in the

window over the mountains here. Coming

over Big Bear, Arrowhead. Over the

Crafton Hills.

I just love how much nature there is here

and how open everything is. The world

I live in is fast and exciting, but to come

here and almost take a 180 from all of that

and just relax is always so refreshing. I

really miss that about this place.

Q: Do you get to come home very often

with your busy schedule? Do you wish you

could come back to Redlands more often?

A: I do. I come back quite often. My

family still lives here. My mom still lives

here, so for me it’s the perfect getaway

to kind of get grounded and get back

to my roots.

Q: With Redlands High School opening

its own stadium last year and the new high

school, Citrus Valley, set to open its own

stadium this fall, REV will be the only high

school in town without its own stadium.

Has the school approached you about

being a possible donor to help build a

stadium on or near campus to provide

a facility for the football, soccer and track

and field teams?

A: That’s the first time I’ve heard of it.

I would absolutely be interested in that

discussion. Like I said, I love this town

and I loved this school when I was here, so

I’m glad you brought that to my attention.

“I’m approaching it from a fresh

standpoint, which is kind of nice,” he

said. “You always predicate on what you

did the last time around. The thing

about doing the musical at the Bowl

is it’s unlike any other venue.”

Program director Marsha Gebara

said Jacques is a talented and capable

producer-director. “He really

understands the Bowl and will be a great

addition to the team this summer.”

Jacques understands Redlands’

protection of its artistic heritage.

Community pride is the city’s parallel

to River City, he says.

“My mom is not Iowa stubborn, but

she is Nebraska stubborn. I know what

it’s like to be around small towns in the

Midwest. Redlands is more open to

trying new things.”

Jacques, who performed in “Aida,”

“Meet Me in St. Louis” and “Guys and

Dolls” at the Bowl, has directed outdoors

before, and he says the Bowl is one of

the best venues in Southern California.

“All the creative opportunities with

this show on a big stage are amazing.

It’s built to be a big-cast show. You look

at the logistics and everything you can

accomplish with a show like this.”

Without giving too much away,

Jacques says local schools will be

involved in “The Music Man.”

“It’ll be interesting to see how the mail

gets delivered — we’ll say that.”

three questions for Paul Jacques

Question: What are the challenges

of staging “The Music Man” at the

Redlands Bowl?

Answer: Probably the biggest

challenge, even though I’ve directed in

large spaces before, is space usage. It’s

tempting to spread things out a lot.

One of the things we’re going through

in production meetings is knowing

when to go really big and when to pull

things into focus.

Q: What are you looking forward to

about directing the show?

A: Just the energy of the show —

it’s just a fun show. It’s hard to hear

some of the things Harold (Hill) sings

and not have your toe tapping or

sing along.

My high school band director was

from Minnesota and actually played

under (Meredith Willson’s) baton one

time, so we heard legends of Meredith

Willson. This is a really neat

opportunity.

I have two little girls who are almost

5 and 6. My wife and I talk about

which shows to take them to. If you’re

not into heavier musical theater,

(“Music Man”) is still good a show —

the characters are likable, the music is

catchy, the costumes are fun. You do

not have to be too prepared to see the

show. For an evening of entertainment,

you get a lot of value out if it.

Q: Which shows would you like to

direct that you have never directed

in the past?

A: I would love to direct “Phantom

(of the Opera).” Being a child of the

’80s, shows like “Cats” and “Les

“Miserables” would be fun to direct.

I was in “Sweeney Todd” few years ago

but need a break from Mr. Todd for a

little while.


And the Bowl stage will look like a small

town in Iowa.

“I’ve never been a fan of big scene changes,” he

said. “We’re going for a different aesthetic look.”

There will be a 45-person cast and a 12- to

14-piece live orchestra. Rehearsals started May 24.

The ages of cast members vary, as will the

audience, Gebara says. “We want families to come

and just love this musical.”

Jacques has an impressive resume. Twenty of his

original works have been staged. He is on the

theater faculty at San Bernardino Valley College,

Mt. San Jacinto Community College and California

Baptist University, and he also is the operations

director of the Ramona Bowl Amphitheatre

in Hemet.

In addition, he portrays Charles Dickens for the

Riverside Dickens Festival and is the artistic

director for the Inland Empire Shakespeare

Festival. His first show after graduating from high

school was “Jitters” at Redlands Footlighters

in 1990.

For Jacques, it is an honor to direct at the Bowl.

Other venues do not have the energy that “runs

through the Bowl,” he says.

“I tell my acting students, and they don’t believe

me, that you have 6,000 people a night. It’s hard

to believe when you have sea of humanity staring

back at you.”

Magic actThe theme for the Bowl’s 87th season is “Feel the

Magic,” and program director Gebara is filled with

anticipation.

“We know it’ll be a great season,” she said. “We

have a lot of great programs everyone will enjoy.”

The 2010 season will have three Saturday shows

and will feature some of the most popular groups

and performances in recent memory: fiddle group

Barrage, the Glenn Miller Orchestra, the Marine

‘We know it’ll be a great season. We have a lot of great programs everyone will enjoy.’

The Glenn Miller Orchestra gets

a Friday and Saturday slot. Two years ago,

about 8,000 people were standing in the streets

and both sides of Smiley Park for their

performance, Gebara said.

Besides mainstays like the symphonies, musical and opera,

people can “fasten their seatbelts and travel to different lands with

our world music,” Gebara said. Ken O’Malley & The Twilight

Lords will play Celtic music and the Massenkoff Russian Folk

Festival will perform.

Gebara is excited to see Inland Pacific Ballet perform “The Little

Mermaid.” Another unique program will be Nancy Walker’s tribute

to Patsy Cline.

And this season’s jazz performance is going to be “over the top”

with the Dmitri Matheny Group, Gebara said.

Another twist is an opera night, featuring famous arias from

different shows instead of one full-length opera or operetta. Gebara

called the Night of Opera “death by chocolate.”

The San Bernardino Symphony and the Redlands Symphony

also will play — one usually opens and the other closes. The

symphony concerts will include soloists Anthony Kearns, Miclen

LaiPang and Rufus Choi.

Curtiss B. Allen

By CHANTAL M. LOVELL

With the Fourth of July

almost here, musicians

are gearing up to add

a patriotic note to the festivities.

the Redlands Fourth-of-

July Band will celebrate

its 30th season this

year and will

perform both new

music and favorites.

“People really

enjoy playing

traditional, patriotic

music, especially on

the Fourth of July,”

said Nick Miller, band

librarian and tuba

section leader. “People love

to come to (Sylvan) park for the games and the

booths and to hear the music from the

Redlands Fourth-of-July Band.”

Band founder and director Curtiss B. Allen

enjoys performing selections geared toward

children in the audience.

“Last year was the first year we had kids

in the park march around to the ‘Parade of the

Wooden Soldiers,’” Allen said. “that was so

much fun to see the children do, and

i definitely want to do that again. We have

a piece they’re going to do that on, called

‘Disney’s Magic Kingdom.’”

Musicians share a love of the fourth

strikeup the

band!


While last year’s music selections

were tailored toward youngsters, this

year patriotic favorites will command

center stage.

Bringing America’s favorites to Sylvan

Park and the Ted Runner Stadium every

Independence Day is important to

the musicians.

“(The band exists) to bring John Philip

Sousa-type music to the community,” said

Glenn Smith, band manager. “It’s a little

bit of culture that a lot of places don’t have.

We get asked to do a lot of different events

because there are not a lot of bands out

there like this.”

The band grew out of the Bethany

Reformed Church orchestra in the late

1970s. Allen, along with many local

residents, would spend the Fourth at

Sylvan Park. One year, he and a friend

were discussing the fact there was

no Sousa music to accompany the

park happenings.

“At the time, one of the service clubs

did a big old-fashioned barbecue,” Allen

said. “In order to have something going on,

they started having a talent competition.

Over time, booths made their way in, but

there still wasn’t any Sousa (music).”

Allen, who was part of the Bethany

Church orchestra, asked some of the

wind players to stay after practice one

night to see if they could compete in the

talent competition.

“We ran through something, and it

sounded perfectly acceptable,” he said.

Word spread that a community band

was in the works, and musicians started

coming forward.

“By the time we were ready to go over

to the park, we had 44 in the band,”

Allen said.

And though comprised entirely of

volunteers, the band was too professional

to compete in the talent show.

“We were so good, and we were so

different that we couldn’t be compared to

the other contestants; it wasn’t fair,” Allen

said. “It was done as a whole separate

thing. It just burgeoned. It just blossomed.”

Calling themselves the Bethany Band,

the musicians performed for the first time

in 1981. They continued under that name

until the Fourth of July fell on a Sunday

and some of the church elders didn’t want

the band playing that year.

“In this city, the Fourth of July is always

celebrated on the fourth, even if it’s a

Sunday,” Allen said. “We believe in

celebrating it on the event.”

So, those who wanted to continue

playing did so, but not as the Bethany

Band. Instead, they played under a new

name: the Redlands Fourth-of-July Band.

“The whole purpose of the band was the

Fourth of July,” Allen said.

This year, the band that doubled in size

in three years, will perform with about

75 members and with as much fun and

professionalism as ever, Allen says.

“Playing in the park is what we’re

all about,” said Michael Shea, head of

percussion. “We’ve become a part of the

Fourth of July in Redlands, and we will

continue as long as we can.”

The 2010 season is dedicated to former

Concertmaster Stan Korfmacher, who

died on March 1.

Allen conducts the Fourth-of-July Band at Sylvan Park.

All big stArs start somewhere, and

many of redlands’ talented young

performers are making their start at

redlands Vocal and Performing Arts

Academy. Annette bartolina has been teaching

students of all ages at the studio for about a decade.

she has years of experience and is a certified speech

level singing (sls) instructor.

“it’s the most effective technique out there as far

as i’m concerned,” she said. “it enriches the vocals

so beautifully and is so quick. A student comes into

my studio for the first time, and we’re making strides

the very first lesson. they can start to feel and hear

a difference.”

At the academy, younger students are grouped into

three divisions, and bartolina focuses on different

performing aspects depending on the class.

“it’s pretty common to look for the raw talent first

of all, then the dedication,” she said. “A lot of people

with a lot of talent don’t have the dedication it takes

to do the practice, put in the time, and do what it

takes to take care of their instrument, their voice.”

Studio is a place where up-and-comers hone their skills

Some of Bartolina’s students were asked to audition

for the Redlands Bowl production of “The Music Man,”

and others have appeared in productions at Yucaipa

Little Theater and LifeHouse Theater. Bartolina

prepares her students for acting and singing gigs

by holding concerts and musicals, as well as smaller

engagements at nursing homes and hospitals.

“It’s exciting for them to be on a real stage and do

performances for a large audience,” she said. “There

are so many things to cover, but it’s worth it because

the kids just get so much out of it. There’s more

to it than just being in a play. You’re part of a team

and responsible for your part.”

The academy is filled with outstanding students,

including 11-year-old Amber Chrest of Redlands,

who recently was selected from several other children

for a television project.

“When she first came to the studio about a year ago,

she struggled with pitch and being able to sing

a melody with other people,” Bartolina said.

“She worked so hard on her voice and was really

dedicated. When it was time for her to audition for

our performance of ‘Annie,’ I listened to her and she

blew me and the other judges away.”

She also impressed casting agents, as she was

booked for “Animal Ambassador TV,” a show that

was filmed at Lake Gregory.

“I was so proud of myself,” Chrest said. “I didn’t

think I was going to get it. I really enjoyed every

experience. I got to cook with an eagle, talk about

nature with a turtle and learned about constellations

with a wolf.”

Bartolina knows exactly why Chrest won the part.

“Amber has the dedication, the drive and the

sparkling personality,” she said.

Bartolina can tell when students are ready

‘When they start to become proficient and comfortable with what they’re doing, that’s when we start looking for representation for them or send them out on auditions.’

“It’s got to be a level of confidence,”

she said. “When they start to become

proficient and comfortable with what

they’re doing, that’s when we start looking

for representation for them or send them

out on auditions.

“That’s why it’s so important for them

to do performances with us, because it

gets performing in front of a crowd under

their belt.”

For Bartolina, it’s all about helping kids

realize their dreams.

“The slogan for my website is ‘Embrace

Your Passion,’ because if you have that fire

in you, it doesn’t go away,” she said.

“You have to find a way to express that

in the world.”

Chrest is doing exactly that, and has

advice for other kids who might want

to go down the same path: “Believe in

yourself,” she said.

“If someone tells you they don’t think

you’ll make it, tell them to have faith. You

can pull through. All you need is courage.” Redlands Vocal and Performing Arts Academy912 New York St., Suite A 909-798-0104, www.redlandsvocalacademy.com

By AMY BENTLEY

For redlands photographer

Gina Lee, it’s all about the kids.

Lee, 37, is a self-taught professional

photographer who works from home

and describes herself as a wife and mother first.

one look at her website,

www.ginaleephoto.com, shows that children

are a central focus in her life. Lee has a talent

for shooting portraits of children, whether in

outdoor settings using natural light or in

creative, highly stylized images.

Parents know that kids can be squirrelly

and rarely stand still, and Lee has developed

her own approach to making them feel at ease

so she can capture what she sees as their

essence. Her work never involves asking

a child say, “Cheese.”

“Kids tend to perform when they’re in front

of their parents. I tell the parents, ‘Let me take

the kids, they’ll be fine with me.’ I get to know

them and play with them before getting out my

camera,” said Lee, whose friendly and outgoing

personality helps makes children comfortable

in front of the camera. “The kids will tend to

open up with me. That leads to better photos.”

Lee wants parents and potential clients to

get to know her too, so she uses Facebook and

Twitter to reach out and maintains a blog with

stories and photos of her clients.

“You have to have great photos, but they’re

hiring the person. They want to see what’s

going on in my life. I felt that my blog and

Facebook would tell more about me as a

photographer,” Lee said. “Moms really relate

to me. I wanted people love me as a person.”

Here’s a snapshot of the person: Lee lives

in redlands with her husband, Chris Lee,

a public school teacher in Fontana and

a filmmaker, and their children, Madeleine, 7,

and son ryder, 4.

Lee used to work for Clinique cosmetics

as an account coordinator and traveled

to a lot of different stores.

Self-taught photogr apher connectS with young SubjectS

with her, it’s personal

Photos by Eric tom


“I loved it,” Lee said. “But I got pregnant

with my little girl, and my husband gave

me his old 35mm camera. I started taking

pictures. I wanted something different.

Studios don’t spend a lot of time with you.”

Lee’s photos were good, and a career

“light bulb moment” followed.

She started taking pictures of her

neighbors, shot some weddings, built

a portfolio and opened a booth to publicize

herself at Market Night in Redlands.

A year after Ryder was born, she left

Clinique to pursue photography full-time.

These days, Lee also gives her time and

art to causes that are important to her.

She is a volunteer photographer for the

Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation,

a nonprofit organization that takes photos

of families and babies who have died.

Lee is called a few times a month to

Loma Linda University Medical Center

and Redlands Community Hospital

to photograph stillborn babies or Gina Lee learns what her young subjects enjoy before she takes out her camera.

babies who have passed away.

“The families need pictures right away,”

she said about the difficult job. “Once you

get there you just do it for the parents.

This is their child.”

Another offer from Lee led to some

of her photos being shown on “Oprah”

last year.

Lee donated a free photo session to

Matt Logelin and his baby daughter after

Lee heard about the death of is wife,

30-year-old Liz Logelin, who died from a

blood clot in her lung a day after delivering

her first child in March 2008.

Lee’s photos of Logelin and his baby

were shown on “Oprah” when Logelin

was a guest on the “Unforgettable,

Unconventional Dads” episode.

For Lee, it was one more successful way

to mix her love for children with her work.

“I offered to do whatever I could. I just

wanted to get pictures because that’s what

I do. Usually the moms take care of that.”

Gina Lee posts material about her work online at www.ginaleephoto.com, http://gleephotography.blogspot.com, http://twitter.com/ginalee and www.facebook.com/ginaleephoto

In her photography, Gina Lee captures fun moments between parents and their children. At left, a photo she took during her session with Matt Logelin and his daughter.

A wedding bouquet of Black Magic Roses and stephanotis with a pearl accent at Hockridge Florist.

BRIDES are no longer simply

asking for roses or color schemes

to fit the season, according

to local florists. Instead, they

are watching their budgets while choosing

colors and flowers, and more want the

big day to be “green” in some way.

“There are a lot of themes; everyone

wants something new and different,” said

Ann Marie Smith, owner of Hockridge

Florist on Redlands Boulevard.

Solid and bright colors are popular;

Tiffany blue, chocolate brown and citrus

and melon tones are the colors of the

moment. And brides no longer let the

season dictate their color schemes.

“If she likes pink, it’s still going to be

a pink wedding,” Smith said. “It’s more

what the bride likes.”

Brides are asking for peonies, according

to florist Christina Caldwell. But it is best

to stick with what is in season.

“They’ll get the best deal on their

flowers,” said Caldwell, owner of

Christina Loves … the Bloom Room! on

Citrus Avenue. One cost-conscious bride

recently used daisies for her wedding,

Caldwell noted.

Robyn Murray at City Florist of

Redlands confirms the trend. “They aren’t

doing big as much. Everybody’s watching

their budget,” said Murray, who limits the

amount and size of the weddings she does.

“They want smaller, more intimate.”

Michael Lopez, owner of Flowers on

Vine on East State Street, says many brides

are handling their own table decorations.

“They’ll sprinkle petals on the tables

and have votive candles. They’re saving

a significant amount of money because

table centerpieces are a third or more

of the budget for wedding flowers.”

For another cost-effective decoration

option, brides often submerge petals

in water with glass marbles or beads,

said Bob Luna-Fredieu of The Fleur

de Lis Florist.

They may decorate the altar and not the

aisles, Lopez says, or limit decorations

to a gazebo in an outdoor wedding.

Bouquets and corsages are simpler and

often are done with one color or kind

of flower, florists say. “Simplified elegance

is a trend I see,” Lopez said.

More brides are asking for “green” floral

arrangements, Caldwell says. “They cost

a little more but they are available. I try

to use local growers.”

It is always a good idea to shop around,

and also be flexible because images in

bridal publications can be deceiving, the

florists advise.

Don’t let the Wild West motif

fool ya! Mill Creek Cattle

Company restaurant offers

much more than down-home

grub like burgers, beans and barbecue. Since

2000, the 6,800-square-foot eatery has

been dishing up everything from prime

rib to seafood to international fare at

affordable prices.

Beyond the fresh and tasty food, variety

is the restaurant’s strongest selling point,

says owner Jim lotito.

“We started out doing a lot of catering,

so that’s why we know how to cook so

many different things. Along with our

barbecue, we serve Mexican, Irish, Asian

and Italian food.

“I happen to like spaghetti as a side dish

with just about everything, and find that our

customers like it, too. We must go through

60 to 70 pounds of pasta a week.”

Much of that pasta is sold on Wednesday

evenings, which lotito dubs “Flavors of

Rome” night. For $5.99, a plate of spaghetti,

linguini, penne or rigatoni is served with

a meat, marinara, Alfredo, pesto or

At Mill Creek Cattle Company, barbecue rules but there’s so much more

Mosey on over

primavera sauce. Lasagna is $1 extra, and soup or salad

can be added for $1.50.

“Wednesdays are one of our busiest days,” Lotito said.

When Mill Creek Cattle Company opened its doors in

2000, Lotito hoped to create a niche restaurant with

barbecue dishes such as baby back ribs,

pulled-pork sandwiches and hickory

smoked ham steaks. As the business

grew, so did the menu.

Over the years, several entrees have

been added, including fish and chips,

trout, salmon, jumbo shrimp, grilled

chicken breast, and corned beef and

cabbage. The Mentone establishment,

which has a large banquet room, also

offers a variety of salads, appetizers,

soups and desserts.

Side dishes at Mill Creek include

three-cheese baked potatoes, french

fries, sweet potato fries, mashed

potatoes and gravy, cole slaw, macaroni

and cheese, creamed spinach and

fresh vegetables.

With all there is to choose from,

barbecue continues to be a major

attraction. And while Lolito won’t divulge its ingredients,

he will provide a hint about its preparation.

“All of the meats are dry-rubbed with a mixture

of spices,” said Lotito, who grew up in West Covina and

started his restaurant career in the 1950s flipping burgers.


Breakfast, lunch, dinner and friendly conversation are served at the Mill Creek Cattle Company in Mentone.

Above: One pound Brewster Burger; Left: One pound Roast Beef Dip PhOtOs By Lea ReeD


He also is the former owner of The Sting in West Covina

and The Hacienda Club in La Puente.

“We serve all of our different sauces on the side to

accommodate people’s various tastes,” he added.

Complementing Mill Creek’s diverse menu is its

inviting décor that took more than two years to

complete. The walls are adorned with Western artifacts

that were found at yard sales and in junk yards around

the Inland Empire. Many items also came from the

former Pioneertown in Colton after it closed

several years ago.

“When people in the area heard we were building a

restaurant with a Western motif, they started bringing

us old saddles and all kinds of stuff,” Lotito added.

“Everything in here has either been refurbished or

reclaimed from some place or another. It’s really amazing

what you can come across when you start looking.”

In addition to its Mentone location, Mill Creek Cattle

Company has a smaller restaurant on Orange Tree Lane

in Redlands. That location serves many of the same

items as the one in Mentone, including breakfast entrees

and a special Bucket of Barbecue that feeds four to six

people for $34.99. A catering menu at both locations

is available as well.

Live music is featured at the Mentone location

on Friday and Saturday evenings.

Whether he’s dribbling the ball past a defender or skiing down the slopes, Evan has a passion for life that many find inspiring. But while he was still in the womb, doctors noticed Evan had a rare heart defect that would cut his life short. His parents went to Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital where just weeks after he was born, Evan received a brand new heart. Twenty-five years ago, our heart team, led by Dr. Leonard Bailey, became the first in the world to perform infant heart transplants. Today, we’re still giving kids like Evan the chance to live life to its fullest.
