Festival focuses on the 

beauty of the Lemon Lily 

Event: July 15-17 

The 2nd Annual Lemon Lily Festival 

will be held on July 15, 16, and 17 

in the charming village of Idyllwild, 

mile-high in the San Jacinto Mountain 

range. More than 3,000 people attended 

last year’s event to celebrate the restoration 

of a precious native wildflower, the Lemon 

Lily. Huell Howser even filmed last year’s 

festival for his California Gold travel show 

on KCET. 

One hundred years ago, thousands of 

Lemon Lilies (Lilium parryi) lived near 

streams and wet meadows in Idyllwild. 

Their beauty and scent attracted visitors 

from all over Southern California. Unfortunately 

bulb hunters dug them up and took 

them off the mountain where they surely 

died. In a multi-year restoration effort, 

Idyllwild is cultivating this beautiful native 

wildflower and restoring it to its original 

habitat and historical range. 

The Lemon Lily Festival focuses on the 

plight of the Lemon Lily so that locals and 

visitors will take it upon themselves to be 

their guardians. A Pioneer Town will take 

you back to Idyllwild a century ago when 

the Lemon Lilies proliferated, helping to 

focus attention on the need for conservation 

and restoration of this precious wildflower. 

The Idyllwild Nature Center, a Lemon Lily 

Viewing Tour, and a high-country hike will 

provide activities that focus on the natural 

environment in which the Lemon Lily 

flourishes. This includes seminars on the 

Lemon Lily, riparian nature walks to see 

where this native wildflower lives along Lily 

Creek, art and crafts focused on the beauty 

of the lily, and children’s carnival games 

with a Lemon Lily theme. 

Throughout Idyllwild there will be 

music, art, food, nature and fun. Free 

shuttles will carry you to all Festival 

venues. Young and old will gain a better appreciation 

of the importance of protecting 

the mountain environment.

Rancho Cucamonga Community Theatre Presents 

‘Annie’ As Tenth Anniversary Production 

The City of Rancho Cucamonga opens 

the Rancho Cucamonga Community 

Theatre’s production of the family favorite 

Tony Award winning musical Annie, on 

July 16 at the Lewis Family Playhouse at the 

Victoria Gardens Cultural Center. 

The timeless tale of Little Orphan Annie 

was the first production of the Rancho 

Cucamonga Community Theatre in the 

summer of 2001. To celebrate the occasion, 

Annie is back giving a whole new generation 

the chance to experience this classic musical 

about never giving up hope. Boasting some of 

Broadway’s most memorable scores, including 

“It’s the Hard Knock Life,” “Easy Street,” 

“N.Y.C.” and the ever-optimistic, “Tomorrow,” 

Annie is a delightful theatrical experience 

for the entire family. 

Over 100 hopefuls vied for parts in the 

production in mid-May. Forty-seven performers 

were ultimately cast with the title role going 

to ten-year-old local Jaidyn Young whose 

stage credits include The Sound of Music, 

Seussical, The Wizard of Oz, Willy Wonka and 

Honk. The adults in the cast feature Alison 

England as Miss Hannigan, Sam Nisbett as 

Daddy Warbucks, Kim Eberhardt as Grace 

Ferrell, Jeffrey Ricca as Rooster and Kari Kennedy 

as Lilly. Ms. Kennedy returns to RCCT

The Festival Of Arts Returns For Its 79th Season 

In the summer of 1932, when the 

country was suffering the ravages of the 

Great Depression, a group of Laguna 

Beach artists decided they were going to do 

something to lift the spirits of those around 

them (and maybe earn a little bit of muchneeded 

money). They transformed the 

main street in Laguna Beach into a virtual 

outdoor art gallery and the Laguna Beach 

Festival of Arts was born. Seventy-nine 

years later, The Festival of Arts — California’s 

Premier Fine Art Show is consistently 

named among the top ten art shows 

in the nation, and it is the flagship event 

in the art colony culture for which Laguna 

Beach is now so well known. 

In 2011 the Festival of Arts 

is offering 140 of the finest 

photographers, sculptors, painters, 

and jewelers the opportunity to 

display and sell original works of 

fine art. 

The beautiful Festival of Arts 

grounds, with exhibitor spaces arranged 

elegantly around an inviting 

lawn area (the Festival Green), 

makes for a warm, classy venue perfect for 

live entertainment. The Festival’s newly 

situated Art Center provides a spacious area 

perfectly suited for visitors to create their 

own art with the help of artists, which is 

why the Festival of Arts has become a summer 

entertainment mecca as well as an art 

appreciation destination. 

Enjoy hands-on art activities such as 

workshops in printmaking and ceramics, 

plus nightly live entertainment on the 

green. Special events such as a world-class 

jazz concert series, cooking demonstrations, 

youth arts education days, dance performances, 

a fashion show with an ecologically 

artistic twist, celebrity events and much, 

much more will keep you happily coming 

to the Festival of Arts all summer long. 

The show is open daily from July 

3 through August 31, from 10am to 

11:30pm (July 3rd and 4th 10am to 6pm). 

Festival admission prices are $7 for general 

admission and $4 for seniors and students. 

Laguna Beach residents and military personnel 

with ID receive free admission, as 

do children under the age of 12. IER

‘On Golden Pond’ 

Comes To Big Bear 

The popular play On Golden Pond first appeared on Broadway 

30 years ago and was later made into an Oscar-winning movie 

starring Henry Fonda and Katherine Hepburn. It is being redone 

again this year both in New York City – and in our own Big Bear 

Lake, starring John Grandi and Elena Peavy at the Big Bear Lake Performing 

Arts Center the first weekend in August 

This is the love story of Ethel and Norman Thayer who are returning 

to their summer home on Golden Pond for the forty-eighth year. 

He is a retired professor, nearing eighty, with heart palpitations and a 

failing memory—but still as tart-tongued, observant and eager for life 

as ever. Ethel, ten years younger, and the perfect foil for Norman, delights 

in all the small things that have enriched and continue to enrich 

their long life together. 

They are visited by their divorced, middle-aged daughter and her 

dentist fiancé who then go off to Europe, leaving his teenage son 

behind for the summer. The boy quickly becomes the “grandchild” 

the elderly couple have longed for, and as Norman revels in taking his 

ward fishing and thrusting good books at him, he also learns some lessons 

about modern teenage awareness—and slang—in return. 

In the end, as the summer wanes so does their brief idyll, and in 

the final, deeply moving moments of the play, Norman and Ethel are 

brought even closer together by the incidence of a mild heart attack. 

Time, they know, is now against them, but the years have been good 

and perhaps another summer on Golden Pond still awaits. 

Performances are at 7:30pm on Friday and Saturday nights, August 

5 and 6, and a 1:30pm matinee on Sunday, August 7. Tickets are available 

online at www.citybigbearlake.com, or by calling (909) 866-4970. 

Net proceeds will go to the Bear Valley Hospital Foundation. IER

The Ultimate Jazz Festival, produced by 

Jazz to be Green, a non-profit organization 

whose goal is to raise awareness 

about energy efficiency, green environment, 

and green jobs through the art of jazz, was 

launched over two years ago and has brought 

some of the biggest name artists in R&B, Jazz 

and Soul to the Inland Empire. Well, it’s back 

— hotter than ever — with lots of changes 

planned for the 3rd Annual Ultimate Jazz 

Festival taking place August 6 and 7. 

Due to the continued growth of the festival 

with over 7,000 in attendance last year, the 

festival is relocating to Guasti Regional Park 

in Ontario, which is a spacious and beautiful 

venue with over 150 acres including two lakes, 

shaded trees and ample parking. 

“We are excited about this year’s festival 

and felt the move was necessary in order to 

accommodate the continued expected growth,” 

said Festival Director Darryl Bundridge. 

The Ultimate Jazz Festival is known for 

its flare of uniqueness in bringing together 

musicians from different genres of music to 


The 3rd Annual Ultimate Jazz Festival hosts big name artists 

one stage including Latin, R&B, Soul, Funk 

and, of course, Jazz, making it one of the most 

anticipated summer festivals in the I.E. This 

year’s festival will feature some hot new artists, 

as well as a little old school flavor added to the 

mix. 

The lineup on Saturday, August 6, will feature: 

Saxophonist Shilts, Urban Jazz Coalition, 

Guitarist Nick Colionne, R&B group Pieces of 

a Dream with Ramona Dunlap, and old school 

funkateers Cameo. Sunday August 7 is Flutist 

Althea Rene, Saxophonist Jessy J, Guitarist 

Jeff Golub, Saxophonist Euge Groove, and the 

soulful sounds of Keith Sweat. 

Jazz to be Green is a proud partner with 

the Lupus Foundation and will contribute 

a portion of the proceeds from the festival 

towards this worthy cause. 

Early bird special tickets are on sale now 

through June 1. General admission tickets are 

$30 and VIP $130. VIP tickets give guests an 

intimate, up close prime seat in a shaded area,

Sturges Center for the Fine Arts in San Bernardino 

Announces its New Season of Musicals and Concerts 

18 

Broadway musicals, a world stage 

premiere, country and rock concerts, 

and the incomparable Debbie Reynolds 

are among the shows set for the 2011-2012 

season at the Sturges Center for the Fine Arts. 

Presented by the City of San Bernardino 

Economic Development Agency, nine shows 

will be presented in the intimate and historic 

venue, making it one of its biggest seasons 

ever presented there. 

Among the show at Sturges Center are 

the musicals Jekyll and Hyde, I Love you, 

You’re Perfect, Now Change, The Rocky Horror 

Picture Show and the world premiere of Robin 

Hood. 

In addition to the legendary singer-actress 

Reynolds, other performers include country 

singer Mark Chesnutt, the tribute band Journey 

Unauthorized, the children’s show Junie 

B. Jones, and the country-Cajun band The 

Doo-Wah Riders. 

“We are really excited about the coming 

season, starting with our inaugural production 

of ‘Jekyll and Hyde,’” said Jason James, 

producing director at the arts center. 

“Jekyll and Hyde” is the first time that the 

Sturges Center will mount and produce its 

own show, he said. “We are bringing exciting 

and exhilarating theater to the community in 

a whole new light.” 

Jekyll and Hyde, the Tony Award-nominated 

musical based on the classic Robert 

Louis Stevenson novel The Strange Case of Dr. 

Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, will be staged for three 

performances, Oct. 14-16. 

Set in 19th century London, the musical 

about the battle between good and evil, tells 

the story of the brilliant English physician 

Henry Jekyll, whose passion to discover why 

man is both good and evil leads to tragic 

results for himself and for those he loves. 

The show features music by Frank Wildhorn 

with lyrics and book by Leslie Bricusse. 

It ran on Broadway from 1997 to 2001 for 

1,543 performances. 

All performances are at the Sturges Center

Los Lonely Boys & Los Lobos Heat Up The 

Fantasy Springs Summer Concert Scene 

Since bursting onto the mainstream music 

scene in 2004 with the song “Heaven,” selfdescribed 

“Texican” rockers Los Lonely Boys 

have developed a fan base of millions. Los Lobos 

is a multiple Grammy Award winning American 

Chicano rock band, influenced heavily by rock 

and roll, Tex-Mex, country, folk, R&B, blues, 

soul, and traditional Spanish and Mexican music. 

These two musical powerhouse bands perform 

on the same bill for one night at Fantasy Springs 

Resort Casino on Saturday, July 30, at 8pm. 

Tickets to see Los Lobos and Los Lonely 

Boys on the same night at Fantasy Springs are 

$39, $59 and $79 and may be purchased at the 

Fantasy Springs Box Office, by calling (800) 

827-2946 or online at www.FantasySpringsResort.com. 

Los Lonely Boys’ fourth studio album called 

Rockpango (a Spanglish word that means “rock 

party”) was released to much anticipation on 

March 29. Three brothers from Texas make up 

Continued from page 21 

the band Los Lonely Boys – Henry, Ringo and 

Jojo Garza. In 2003, the trio recorded an album 

at Willie Nelson’s Pedernales recording studio in 

Austin, Texas, according to the band’s website. 

“Heaven” was the group’s first single from the 

album and it reached number one on the Adult 

Contemporary chart, and went on to win them 

a Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance 

by a Duo or Group with Vocal. The group has 

gone on to collaborate with the legendary Carlos 

Santana and lend their voices to world issues 

such as Amnesty International’s Campaign to 

Save Darfur. 

Los Lobos has been performing and releasing 

albums since the mid-1970s. The band’s first 

critically acclaimed album came in 1984, “How 

Will the Wolf Survive,” produced by T-Bone 

Burnett. Los Lobos worked with Burnett on 

their next album, “By the Light of the Moon,” 

released in 1987. Los Lobos became a household 

name upon recording covers of Ritchie Valens 

To celebrate the desert community, the 

Cabazon Band of Mission Indians 

and Fantasy Springs Resort Casino 

are inviting the public to a free fireworks 

show. The event takes place on Tuesday, 

July 5 with the fireworks blasting off at 

9pm (or just after dusk) from the Eagle 

Falls Golf Course. 

The public is welcome to congregate 

around the Eagle Falls pro shop and the 

surrounding parking lot. 

“We want to acknowledge 

the tremendous service of 

our women and men who 

have served and continue to 

serve this nation. It remains 

important, even in trying 

times, to bring family, friends, 

and neighbors together,” said 

Chairman David Roosevelt of 

the Cabazon Band of Mission 

Indians. 

All ages are welcome and 

The Eagle 106.9FM will play 

the soundtrack to the event 

and broadcast live. The public 

is encouraged to get to the 

Fantasy Springs Resort Casino 

for the soundtrack of the movie “La Bamba.” 

The title track earned Los Lobos a number 

one hit. The band went on to release 13 more 

albums, including their most recent, “Tin Can 

Trust,” in 2010. IER

Quest for Speed” - Air Racers, will 

be the subject of the Living History 

“The 

Flying Event hosted by Planes of 

Fame Air Museum at the Chino Airport on Saturday, 

August 6. The event will begin at 10am 

with a seminar describing the impact of air racing 

on aeronautical development and conclude 

with a flight demonstration by a Planes of Fame 

Air Museum warbird. 

From the earliest days of manned, powered 

flight until the start of World War II, air racing 

inspired many of the innovations that helped 

to advance the design of all types of aircraft. 

In fact, the most successful air racers of that 

era were usually more advanced in design and 

performance than the world’s frontline military 

combat aircraft. However, the tremendous 

advances in aviation during World War II, as 

well as the dramatically increased cost of those 

developments, relegated air racing to the status 

of an interesting sport, rather than a cutting 

edge development program, in the years after 

World War II. 

Now essentially centered around a variety of 

categories ranging from small homebuilt designs 

to highly-modified World War II combat 

aircraft and even jets, modern air racing is still 

the world’s fastest motorsport. With speeds in 

the unlimited class approaching 500 mph at low 

level around tight pylon courses, the events are 

Quest 

for 

Speed 

challenging and thrilling. 

An independent, non-profit institution 

dedicated to preserving the history and artifacts 

of aviation, Planes of Fame Air Museum was the 

first permanent air museum in the American 

West and a pioneer in the concept of restoring 

historic display aircraft to flying condition. 

Staffed primarily by a core of dedicated volunteers, 

the museum supports its operations with 

donations, admission fees, facilities rentals and 

FANT-41664 GOLF IER-May_Layout 1 5/18/11 11:53 AM Page 1 

proceeds from the use of its aircraft and artifacts 

in various productions. 

Open to the public from 10am until 5pm 

Sunday through Friday, and from 9am until 

5pm on Saturday, general admission is $11, 

youngsters 5-11 are admitted for $4, and admission 

is free for accompanied children under five.
