Catch horse racing excitementat NOS in San Bernardino

If you’ve never ventured into the 52,000 square-foot Sports Center at The National Orange Show inSan Bernardino, you’ve missed something special. TheSports Center hosts thousands of horse racing fanseach year, and the excitement is absolutely contagious.

And, if you’ve never placed a wager on a horserace, it’s much easier than you might think. Here aresome tips for having a great day at the races – via livesatellite wagering.

When you arrive, pick up the complimentaryhandicapping sheets, like Jerry J’s Power Page and LesOnaka’s Handicapping Report for Los Alamitos. It’salso advised that you purchase a program, which con-tains an encyclopedic amount of information: a historyof the horse’s previous racing success, the experts’picks and a great deal of information about how tointerpret the horses’ “past performances.” All of thisshould give you better insight into the possible out-come of any given race. By doing some shrewd analy-sis, you probably won’t be putting your money on ahorse just because you like its name.

To be a winner, you don’t have to pick the horsethat comes in first. The horse you bet can also earnyou money if it finishes first, second or third. In racinglanguage, this is called Win, Place and Show. Manytrack aficionados have a great time making relativelyconservative Show bets.

It seems like only yesterday! On July 4,1997,a world-wide audience watched the USA's MarsPathfinder successfully deliver a stationary landerand surface rover named ‘Sojourner' to the RedPlanet. Spellbinding images of the Martian sur-face and the free-ranging rover were transmittedto Earth, thrilling scientists and the general pub-lic.

The mission was more successful than couldbe imagined. It provided scientists with largeamounts of data, and pioneered new technologyand flight strategies which have greatly con-tributed to current missions. And, it captured theimagination of an entire generation of kids whogrew up on robotic toys.

One of the innovative engineering techniquesused by Mars Pathfinder allowed it to directlyenter the Martian atmosphere. This approachsucceeded with the help of a large parachutewhich was deployed to slow its descent. Theparachute had an American flag sewn onto itsskirt.

Pioneer Aerospace has donated one of theflags produced for this historic mission to theMSAS Astronomy Village in Lake Arrowhead.

The flag is proudly displayed alongside its letterof authenticity.

Visit Astronomy Village in the month of Julyto enjoy this and many other historic memorabil-ia on display. Summer SkyQuest Public Programsinclude a variety of topics that are sure to intrigueeveryone. The programs are held Saturday nights,from 8pm to 10pm. Admission includes aninformative and entertaining slide-lecture, ques-tion and answer period, laser tour of the nightsky, and, weather permitting, a visit to the RobertBrownlee Observatory.

For more information, call (909) 336-1699.Astronomy Village is located just off State Hwy18, between the Blue Jay turnoff and Rim HighSchool. Turn in at the yellow overhead light andfollow the signs. Business hours are 10am to 4pmdaily but may change occasionally. Visit theirwebsite at www.mountain-skies.org. MSAS is a501(c)3 nonprofit, public benefit corporationand is supported exclusively by private donations,program and gift shop revenues. MSAS is notaffiliated or associated with any commercial busi-ness that attempts to replicate its presentations orprograms.

It's a grand old flag!

Continued from page 10Victoria Gardens Library receives first shipment of booksRancho Cucamonga Library staff and Library

Foundation Board Members were busy unloading30,000 books from its first shipment of what willbe 100,000 books, dvds, cds and other periodicalsplanned to be on the shelves when the VictoriaGardens Library opens this summer.

Although an official date has yet to beannounced, this is the start to the end of aprocess that began over two years ago, MichellePerera,Victoria Gardens Library Branch Manager,said. “We started our order with the classics andother retrospective titles like Shakespeare andDickens; building our collection over the pastcouple years with the last 6 months having anemphasis on orders for current best sellers to

have a comprehensive collection from day one.”The City of Rancho Cucamonga Library sys-

tem will now have two libraries within the Citylimits. The existing Library located just south ofBase Line Road on Archibald will have collectionsproviding educational curriculum support, tech-nology collection, popular media and books,home improvement and restoration offerings.

City staff along with volunteers from HSBCBank, Rotary Club and various other volunteergroups are expected to take 3-4 weeks to loadthe 100,000 volumes onto the shelves of theVictoria Gardens Library, working side by sideconstruction workers and trade craftsmen as thebuilding gets closer to completion.

The library is a major element to the VictoriaGardens Cultural Center in Rancho Cucamonga.Expected to open this summer, the VictoriaGardens Cultural Center also houses the 536-seat Lewis Family Playhouse with live professionalperformances, and the 4,500 square-footCelebration Hall for banquets and meetings – alllocated as a fifth major anchor to the successfulVictoria Gardens Regional Town Center off the15 Freeway and Foothill Blvd. in RanchoCucamonga.

July, 2006 INLAND ENTERTAINMENT REVIEW 13

There is no rule that says you have to bet every race.Look over the program; decide how much money you plan towager. Then play your favorites. Go with your hunches –they’re as good as anyone’s. However, betting all your moneyon early races can significantly shorten what should be a muchlonger and more enjoyable experience.

Don’t forget that satellite wagering should be a full andstimulating occasion. The Sports Center has two bars, onespecializing in adult beverages, and a snack bar with food rang-ing from burgers to homemade soups and specials.

Now that you’re feeling more confident, and a couple ofyour well researched long shots have come in, try betting onwhat’s called an exotic. If you think you know which twohorses are going to finish first and second, but you’re not sureof the order, bet a Quinella. But if you’re sure who’s going tofinish first and second, in that exact order, bet an Exacta. Bothof these winning tickets really pay off. And, there’s always along shot who’s being ignored by the betters, who upon clos-er examination should be rated much higher. Two dollarscould turn into a lot more with a shrewd long shot bet.

Even though some of the races that are being broadcastlive are on tracks continents away, it is not considered eccen-tric to yell encouragement to them – nor is it untoward tocheer the winner. After all, that horse put folding money inyour pocket!

The Sports Center is located at 930 North ArrowheadDrive, between Mill Street and Orange Show Road, in SanBernardino. For more information, call (909) 885-7223.Sports Center doors normally open at 10:15am and isopen Wednesdays through Sundays until July 17, and thenWednesday through Monday from July 19 throughSeptember.

Fencing brings old world combat to modern audiences in the IE

When it comes to the world of sports, there’s more to it than tossing a ball upand down a field.The sport of fencing is as old as bladed weapons, and is surprising-ly accessible for those who want to learn.

Fencing is a European martial art that has survived through the centuries bytransitioning itself from a practical art to a sport. Originally it was the method usedto train people how to defend themselves with edged weapons, but it survives cur-rently as a sport, governed by the International Olympic Committee. Few know it,but fencing was one of the first three sports included in the Modern Olympics,which were started by a fencer.

Fencing is often mistaken as an aloof and expensive sport to those who havenever seen it or met a fencer. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Cost forinstruction is usually close to that of other martial arts, and the equipment hasdropped in price in recent years due to an upswing in interest.

Clubs prepare a student to take part in all levels of United States FencingAssociation events, from the regional to the international skill level.The best clubshave their own internal series of competitive events to prepare students who maychoose to venture outside the club in search of increasing challenges as a fencer.Once someone makes contact with a club, they’ll find a whirlwind of activity in theSouthern California area. It’s been said that you can fence competitively everyweekend in Southern California if you are willing to make the drive between divi-sions.

Historically, points were awarded based on a system of judges watching fortouches. Modern fencing is all done electronically, with a microprocessor basedscoring box that is wired to each weapon. Hits can be scored in 1/ 70th of a sec-ond, making it the fastest of all martial arts. Only a Director is needed to judge about and award points at all levels of competitions.

Society, CATS, presents its summer musical, Rodgersand Hammerstein’s classic, Carousel.

In his memoirs, Richard Rodgers said thatCarousel was “the best thing” he and OscarHammerstein ever wrote.

Carousel features such beautifulmusic as, “If I Loved You,” “You’ll Never WalkAlone,” “June Is Bustin’ Out All Over,” “This Was AReal Nice Clambake,” “Mr. Snow,” and the famous“Soliloquy.”

Zippy one-liners and insider showbusiness jokes abound in one of NeilSimon’s most popular plays, ‘TheSunshine Boys,’ a play about tworetired vaudeville comedians who

reunite for one last performance after a lengthyestrangement. The story is vintage Neil Simon,containing laugh-a-minute jokes, plus an under-current of sadness that together make a funny yetwarm and tender story of aging. Combine thiswith a fine meal served outdoors in the RamonaBowl courtyard overlooking the beautiful SanJacinto valley at sunset, visiting with good friends,sipping your favorite beverages, and then beingenveloped under a warm starry sky as theSunshine Boys delight your senses.

This season’s performances are scheduled forJuly 21, 22, 28 and 29. Each evening, cocktailswill be served at 6:30pm, followed by dinner at7pm, and ‘The Sunshine Boys’ at 8pm.

Neil Simon plays are a favorite of valley resi-dents. “Last summer, ‘The Odd Couple’ wasvery successful at the Ramona Bowl, and youcould say ‘The Sunshine Boys’ is here by populardemand,” Dennis Anderson, Artistic Director for

the Bowl, said. “Ken Luber of Idyllwild is direct-ing, as he did for last season’s award winning pro-duction of ‘The Odd Couple.’ Playing the roleof Willie Clark will be veteran actor Arthur Con.Paul Runyon, who won an Inland TheatreLeague Award for his starring performance in lastseason’s ‘The Odd Couple’, will play Al. We’revery pleased with the way this production is shap-ing up, and believe it will be a big hit,” Andersonsaid.

The story tells of elderly vaudeville comediansWillie Clark and Al Lewis who were known intheir heyday as “Lewis and Clark.” Off stage,they could not stand each other, and have notspoken in more than 20 years. Ben, who is WillyClark’s nephew, is producing a television showabout the history of comedy, and he wants to fea-ture a reunion of the classic duo in one of theirfamous skits. Maybe the occasion can even pre-vent the pair from being alone in their later years.How will Ben convince the crotchety old codgersto lay aside their grudges and come togetherbefore the big show?

Completing its fourth decade of showcasing international art, theArt-A-Fair Festival returns this year representing a broad range ofartistic expression.

The Art-A-Fair Festival is Laguna Beach’s only Internationally Juried ArtFestival, and this year they celebrate their 40th anniversary. The Art-A-FairFestival is rated as one of the top 200 shows in the nation.

The Art-A-Fair Festival features more than 125 artists from across theworld, 18 of whom are new this year, with nearly every medium represent-ed, from traditional oil, acrylic and watercolor paintings to the emergingdigital arts. Glass, ceramics, textiles, photography, mixed media, sculpturesand fine jewelry can also be found.

Experience the whimsical and functional fused glassworks by artistAndra Martin, the ceramic work of artist Philippe Chambon, the fun andvibrant paintings of cartoonist Robert Marble, the striking images of pho-tographer David Linnig, the raw power of imagery from painters PaulaHinz and Carole Heiman Greene.

There are works that will interest the most astute collector to the casualshopper. Art-A-Fair features works ranging from $10,000 bronze sculpturesto limited edition reproductions of watercolors and oil paintings.

“Our international status and offer to allow artists to participate fromanywhere in the world is what sets us apart from the other festivals in thecanyon,” Floyd O’Neil, VP Marketing Director for the Art-A-Fair Festival,said.

Located between the Festival of Arts and Sawdust Festival, the Art-A-Fair Festival has carved out an identity all its own. Although all styles of artare accepted, the majority of the artists exhibiting work at the Art-A-FairFestival work in a traditional style. However, the range of media that is dis-played gives the show an exciting feel.

Sawdust celebrates 40th

A1963 Volkswagen van colorfullypainted with a futuristic cityscape,jungle scene, clouds, peace signs,flowers and John Lennon on top ofa pyramid will be one of the more

unique canvasses tied in with the annual SawdustArt Festival this year. In fact it is already turningheads, prompting thumbs up, peace signs and cellphone photo taking as it makes its way throughthe streets of the Southland.

Sawdust Art Festival participant Troy Poeschlis the owner of what has become a mobile bill-board to promote the upcoming 40th SawdustArt Festival, which began its nine week run onJune 30.

And that was the intent when he decided topaint it with the help of Ryan Gourley and StarShields, two other Sawdust Art Festival artists,and Willie O’Leary, a former Laguna Beach artistnow residing in Virginia.

“It was the idea of the [Sawdust’s] 40thanniversary committee and I happened to havethe ideal vehicle. And they wanted to use thebus in Laguna’s Patriot’s Day Parade, which wewere in. But it is also my personal car so I use itall the time,” Poeschl said.

“People love it. They wave or give me thethumbs up or a peace sign. Half the time I forget

that it is painted, but I always wave back,” headded.

The acrylic painted van is done in an artisticstyle representative of the late 1960’s and early1970’s, often considered the most colorful yearsof the Sawdust Art Festival.

“Born in the 1960’s, the Sawdust was a childof the times. It was much more than a place forartists to show and sell their artwork. It was ahappening, a beautiful, colorful collage of peoplecreating a unique environment where nothing ofits kind existed,” wrote long time Sawdust ArtFestival artist Mike Heintz in a recently publishedhistory book: The Sawdust Festival-The EarlyYears, 1965-1979.

The van and the history book are a few of thethings created to help celebrate the Sawdust ArtFestival’s roots and 40 Creative Years in LagunaBeach. Many other activities are being plannedfor the official anniversary celebration on July 11including an all-day recreation of the MontereyPop Festival featuring Monterey ’67.

The 2006 Sawdust Art Festival runs throughSeptember 3 and features 202 Laguna Beachartists exhibiting, demonstrating and selling theiroriginal art and fine craft.

The music of Cole Porteron a Riverside stage

Bringing the music of Cole Porter to life on stage,Riverside Community Players will present “Cole” thismonth, a musical of one of America’s greatest talents.

Director Merrilee Drake has teamed with Musical DirectorBill Wolfe and Choreographer Julia Putnam for this productionwhich features both familiar Cole Porter songs and some not sofamiliar. According to Drake, this is a retrosoective of Cole'smusical development rather than a retelling of his life, thoughhis music and lyrics reflected much of his life and times.

Comprising the talented ensemble of performers are: MelChadwick, Beverly Crowe, Trista Olivas, Jilian Green, FlintMurfitt-Lutey, Joey Mercado, Arturo Cabrera and Joshua Beld,all of whom have been asked to bring the best they have anddig deep for this production.

Given Porter's prolific amount of work a good deal of diffi-culty was encountered in paring it down to what is now part ofthe show. Different facets of the unique Porter talent are illus-trated through sequences which strike a balance with his classicsongs and those less familiar. Favorites include "AnythingGoes,” "Night and Day,” “Love for Sale,” “I Love Paris,” andmore.

For information or reservations, call 951-686-4030. Themusical "Cole" will be presented by Riverside CommunityPlayers, July 14-30, at the RCP theatre, 4026 14th St. inRiverside. R
