from the editor
Today, reserve the time
A
few years ago one could drift into any gift shop and stumble across a poster or a coffee cup decorated with an unbroken stream of terse maxims that each wrapped up all of life in five words or less. Smile. Stop and smell the roses. Go fly a kite. Take a hike. Hug your kid. Don’t let the turkeys get you down. Relax. Savor the moment. Seize the day. Be a friend. Seek the heights. Hit the beach. Plant a tree. ... Whatever the sentiment, it was neatly synopsized between “Live, love and laugh” and “Have a nice day.” The products were all about capturing feel-good moments in a marketable form, a mental capsule aimed at triggering happiness and fond memories. However, for it to work, the reader had to absorb the suggestions and have a reference point in experience. And by and large, the suggestions tended to be simple things that were not particularly significant — not surprising, it was a pop culture thing, a happy face — if you will. What we really need is the positive, life-changing experience that carries us through difficult times: the mountain-top moment. As a symbol, the mountain top is tied to a rich array of religious and historical images. And it’s no wonder. It is a place of clarity and spirituality, where oneness with nature comes in the same instant with reflection and exertion. In the mountains, the air is clear, the sky is blue, a trail through a pine or redwood forest promises distant vistas and scented air. In the mountains, quiet reveals itself to those who can be still. The tension floats away. The mind relaxes. I am told that children’s happiest enduring memories tend to be from family vacations — time spent away from the routine. I personally know the vacations, the mountain trips and the beach days are some of the most often revisited in my own memory bank. I’ll never forget my eldest chasing after deer in Yosemite when she was five or six. With that said, I invite you to reserve time for yourself and your family this summer. Have your own mountain-top experience or, at the very least, a break for you and yours to store happy memories while siphoning off the tensions of daily life. Our offering this month features a trip to Big Bear Lake, Lake Arrowhead and many other options for escape into the nearby mountains. Closer to home we tour the historic Walker House in San Dimas, dine at Sevilla in nearby Riverside and explore fashion with photographer Priscilla Iezzi and stylist Annie Funn and revisit highlights from a fashion show put on by The Art Institute of California-Inland Empire. Of course, there’s more. We invite you to explore it all in this issue of Inland Living.

cool i.e. N OT E S & C O M M E N T S

ool. It’s a concept infinitely attractive and almost as difficult to nail down, but when the summer heat comes on it’s something all of us seek. So with an eye toward temperature, style and a state of mind — and a thank-you to some of our community partners — we offer ways to seek out IE cool:
Music, attitude & style Crossing into cool is something of an adventure when it comes to personal taste. Music for one is cool — especially live music, found throughout the area as night sets in. Some popular spots on our list: The Press in Claremont, dba256 in Pomona (www.thepressrestaurant.com, www.dba256), piano bars and dueling piano bars and downtown summer concert series including those in Claremont, Pomona and Redlands, to name a few (details at www.ci.claremont.ca.us, www.pomonaconcertband.org and www.redlandsbowl.org). Of course for the big event, look no further than the Citizens Business Bank Arena, where the American Idols Tour lands July 11. Also cool are museums — for those who enjoy looking into the past and the recent past — two we are fond of locally are Ontario’s Museum of History and Art at 225 S. Euclid Ave., which features wonderful historic photos, Route 66 memorabilia, a neon-trimmed eagle and many more cool items. For the more modern bent, the Fender Museum of Music & Art, 365 N. Main St., in Corona has the lure of Johnny Cash and Fender memorabilia as well as live music. Info at www.fendermuseum.org.

Treats at Gelato Licious in Fontana
Water, ice & treats There’s no substitute for just jumping in. In addition to parks like Raging Waters in San Dimas and Soak City next to Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park, look for the local community plunge. Fontana, for instance, hosts dive-in movies on Saturdays starting at 6:30 p.m. in Fontana Park, 15556 Summit Ave. More details online at www.fontana.org. Many cities also offer youngsters a chance to swim at local facilities through parks and recreation programs. And, of course, there are the many fountains nestled throughout the Claremont Colleges. And cool lasts a long time on the tongue. We recently visited with Shant Bekmezian at Gelato Licious, where he creates silky smooth Italian-style gelato and refreshing fruit sorbets. The shop is at 7426 Cherry Ave., Suite 170, just south of Baseline Avenue in Fontana. Bekmezian says once he tasted gelato it was so good he had to go into the business. And we are still fans of 21 Choices, with locations in Claremont and Pasadena, Bert & Rocky’s in downtown Claremont as well as Dr. Bob’s in downtown Upland.
Out of doors Ann Joslin at the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden in Claremont points out the garden may be as much as 5 degrees cooler than the surrounding area thanks to the shade and the native flora. Add in classes, musical evenings and other events and the garden is one cool spot. More info at www.rsabg.org. In the same vein, walk to San Antonio falls at Mount Baldy, reach the paved trail to the falls via Mount Baldy Road above Mount Baldy Village. An adventure pass is required for parking. The more ambitious should seek out the Icehouse Canyon trail. Also on the list: the Chino Basin Water Conservation District garden at 4594 San Bernardino St., Montclair, www.cbwcd.org, the Maloof home, 5131 Carnelian St., Alta Loma, www.malooffoundation.org. Want more cool? Go find it, and let us in on it.

The Walker House, circa 1887
San Dimas Historical Society
H i st o r i c S a n Dimas land m a r k b egins i t s se c o n d act By SUZANNE SPROUL
A
S THE COUNTRY started moving West in the late 1880s, the railroads brought property owners and potential residents to California, and also bolstered the state’s burgeoning citrus industry. And to accommodate the flux of people and business, railroads built hotels along the way. The historic Walker House in San Dimas was one of those hotels — although it never hosted even one paying customer. Instead, it was home to six generations of the Walker and Carruthers families. Fifty-eight members of the two extended families attended a reunion there on a morning in May, and they listened as volunteer docents from the San Dimas Historical Society told stories about the landmark and the city that grew up around it. To the members of the extended Walker and Carruthers families, it was simply home — a place to spend time with various generations of the family, play games and share common histories. It was an ideal setting for children who loved to run around its expansive interior or to climb in its adjacent fig and avocado trees.
The historic and now newly restored Walker House in San Dimas has 30 rooms and 13,200 square feet of living space. Photos by Eric Reed

This life-sized portrait of Julia Holton Fisher, Sue Walker’s sister, is in the front entryway. The dress was made of the same material as a dress worn by Ella Walker Potts to President Grover Cleveland’s second inauguration in 1893.
Saffron guests can enjoy their meals on the front veranda.
The house has withstood many challenges, both natural and man-made, during its 122-year history. But looking at the faces of some of the older family members, they were clearly thrilled to see the outcome of its makeover. Many of those 50 years and older remembered spending time there. Younger ones remembered the stories. “That was my bedroom right there,” said Nancy Singer, pointing to a window on the southwest corner of the second story. She helped organize the family reunion. “I lived in this house from when I was 2 to 10 years old,” she added. “I was always getting into trouble and was told to stop running through the halls because I would wrinkle the oriental rugs and kick up dust. “But what I remember most about this house was family. Here it represented a continuity of family.
28 | inlandlivingmagazine.com | july 09
My family lived here with my grandmother, ‘Sweet’ Rowena, and Uncle Jim Carruthers. We played cards. We did puzzles. We spent time together. I think I can speak for the family and say we are so happy that it has been preserved.” The first school in San Dimas met in the basement of the Walker House, the first church services were held in the living room. Clubs routinely met there. In the 1970s, the house became a center of commercial business life, according to Susan Davis, San Dimas Historical Society archivist. Today it is believed to be the only remaining railroad hotel of its kind in the Southland, now restored and ready for business — but again, not as a hotel. Instead, the newly revamped structure will be home to the San Dimas Historical Society, San Dimas Rodeo, San Dimas Festival of the Arts, a city museum and Saffron restaurant, which will be open for lunch, dinner and catering. The tower area, which dominates the structure, will contain The Walker Room, complete with a plexiglass ceiling so visitors can look up into the structure. There, mementoes and family artifacts will continue sharing the house’s story.

History lesson
The ornate hotel check-in desk remains today, although it never officially welcomed one paying guest.
The city of San Dimas bought the 13,200-squarefoot structure. Using redevelopment agency money and $2 million in grants, work began in 2007 to restore the beauty to its former glory. Two years and $8.6 million later, it’s back and gorgeous. “When the city bought it, the question was what would be the right thing to do with her? We’re very happy, and from what we’ve heard from people who have toured it, the public is very happy, too,” said Blaine Michaelis, San Dimas city manager. Since the public community tours started in March, more than 3,000 people have visited the house. After the WalkerCarruthers family reunion, make that 3,058. Walker House 121 N.

A view through a cutaway into the tower attic.
Some facts about the Walker House restoration: • It was built in 1887 for $20,000. James Washington Walker and his wife, Sue, were its first residents. • Extensive research to uncover the original colors failed, so it was painted using a color palette from the Sherwin-Williams Company, which maintains a division that focuses on historical colors. • The house originally had 14 fireplaces and seven chimneys. Today’s necessary earthquake retrofitting required some changes. During the remodel, the chimneys visible from the outside of the building were made of fiberglass and artists painted lines on them to resemble brick. • Landscaping added to the house’s beauty in 1887 and still does today. Three of the camellias planted outside are more than 100 years old. The 100-foot-tall Hoop Pine in front is 129 years old and is considered to be a member of the largest known tree species in the United States. • The house was made of redwood that was floated on barges in the Pacific along the coast from Northern California to San Pedro. • The original windows, which were rebuilt, use a pulley and weight system. • There was little original glass left in the building. All was replaced with historic glass. • The second floor slowly dipped as much as two inches during the years. The renovation project included jacking up the floor, leveling it off and stabilizing it. Source: San Dimas Historical Society

apas. By definition, it comes from a Spanish word meaning cover or top. Back in the days when gentlemen sat in taverns enjoying their sherry, they would use a piece of bread, cheese or ham to cover the glass to keep pesky flies out of the sweet drink. And while that may not be an issue today, the tradition of tapas lives on at Sevilla.

Housed in a two-story structure that’s filled with character, it would have taken a lot of imagination to envision such a beautiful restaurant a dozen years ago, says general manager Jack Glass. At that time, pillars, a roof and a cement slab were all that remained of the old Freeland Tractor showroom. It took an extensive effort lasting three and a half years at a cost of more than $10 million to create the restaurant we see today. Guests enter a lovely open room with a small fountain, vaulted ceilings and an iron staircase leading to the bar upstairs. The outside of the building reflects the historic look of downtown Riverside’s Mission Inn district. In addition to the dining room and bar, Sevilla also has a room where a flamenco dinner show is presented on Saturday evenings. The restaurant’s menu changes about four times a year to accommodate the seasons, recently adding a platter with four cheeses, two cold cuts, chutney, quince jam and breads. Diners also can choose from tapitas, signature tapas, platters, brochetas and paella, plus a variety of soups and salads. Tapitas include many choices — specialties of the house, plus vegetarian and fusion choices, which combine traditional Spanish ingredients with world cuisines. These small plates feature items like dates stuffed with cabrales blue cheese and wrapped in bacon, and pulpo a la gallega (a classic tapa of octopus and young potatoes seasoned with olive oil and pimenton). There are many others including a seafood crepe and a beef empanada — one of the fusion choices.

That’s entertainment
Executive chef Cesar Castillo
Executive chef Cesar Castillo’s signature tapas include imported Jamón Ibérico, which is made from black Iberian pigs and cured in the remote mountain villages of Spain. Steamed black mussels are presented with a choice of broth. There are platters, such as the cheese and cold cuts mentioned earlier, and others designed to suit individual tastes: meat lovers, olive lovers and samplers with four different tapas. Six paella choices include black paella prepared with fresh squid ink and topped with seafood — an item rarely seen on menus.
An evening at Sevilla can mean more than just good food, because there’s also entertainment — and lots of it. Every evening, a guitarist and singer can be heard in the bar, while dance music rotates in the Sevilla nightclub — everything from hip hop to electro to retro. On Thursdays, it’s salsa with dance lessons at 8:30 p.m. The big entertainment, however, happens on Saturday night. That’s when flamenco takes the stage. Guests enjoy a three-course dinner of Ensalada Sevillana followed by paella valenciana, Spain’s famous rice dish with mussels, clams, calamari, shrimp, scallops, roasted chicken and sausage cooked with saffron. A rich chocolate espresso créme brulée finishes the traditional Spanish feast. While guests taste the Catalonian culinary delights, a flamenco dancer takes the stage, bringing an energy to the floor that resonates with excitement. The sound of the dancer’s heels thunders across the floor as the vibrant music plays. It’s definitely more than just dinner — it’s an experience. Seating begins at 6:30 p.m. with the first show starting around 7.

OCIO CARRERA is not your average flamenco dancer — if there is such a thing. She took up flamenco dancing while she was working on her second doctorate. Carrera received her first in experimental psychology at UC San Diego and was working on her second in molecular biology at Scripps when she decided she needed something to relieve stress. Now, after years of studying the art form in the U.S. and in Spain, she’s passionately devoted to the dance. Carrera has been on the stage at Sevilla for five years, the longest of any of the restaurant’s dancers, performing twice a week with her fiancé, Oscar Aragon, who plays the guitar and sings with her.

BOHO Stylist Annie Funn: Boho is a popular trend this year. Here’s a look at new samples borrowed from a showroom floor. The brands are available at Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s and other stores. Boho has the vintage free-spirited feel of the 1960s, with feathered accessories, beads, headbands, brown earthy leather, gladiator sandals, eggshell and primary colors, as well as vintage lace and paisley prints. My boho is city-fied, teenager-ized. Added in were a pair of oversized white plastic frame sunglasses, a scarf wrapped twice and a fun butterfly bracelet.

rofessional models pranced on the runway in denim-inspired designs at the Victoria Gardens Cultural Center recently as first-year design students put their style on display in Mood Indigo, the first fashion show put on by the Art Institute of California-Inland Empire. Isidore Baltazar, a first-year fashion design student, was happy to see the results of his hard work on display the night of the event. “It was a weight lifted off of my shoulders,” he said. “Now I’m ready for a new assignment, a new adventure.” Pulse-pounding music filled the air as more than a thousand people arrived to take in the couture on

Models for the event arrived in a Rolls Royce and a Bentley, which were preceded by the flashing blue and red lights of a police escort. While seven first-year students produced designs that were worn at the show, denim designs also were contributed by Miss Me Jeans, Bebe, Soulful Commandoe and Affliction. Although all of the student designs were inspired by denim, the students moved in the opposite direction of the

typical jeans and a T-shirt outfit. Baltazar designed a denim bustier and sculpted bubble denim dress with red tulle accents that wowed the crowd. “It was just something that came to me,” said Baltazar of his inspiration. Jennifer Hernandez created “Ode to Holland,” a hooded denim jumper with hand-painted angel wings on the back. Hernandez said the design was a tribute to her best friend who had died. Other student designs included a Japanese kimono-inspired dress by Joseph Yoshimura, a militant tuxedo created by Erica Jennings and Sara Vigil’s Coco Chanel-inspired palazzo pant outfit. Although the fashion design and fashion and retail marketing programs started only about a year ago at the San Bernardino location, several of the firstyear students played a big role in helping produce the fashion show.
Some of the preparations that students helped with for the fashion show included working with the models to apply makeup, style hair and coordinate accessories as well as serving as ushers. “We have about 70 students in the two programs,” said Sherry West, academic director for fashion at the Art Institute of California-Inland Empire. “They’re watching how a professional fashion show is put together, so they can learn from the experience.” The fashion show also was created to launch the new fashion program at the Art Institute of California-Inland Empire and to inform the community about the new campus in San Bernardino. The fashion show helped Balatzar realize that fashion was his true calling. “Now I feel like I’m a real designer,” he said. “I know that I’m doing the right thing.”

or many, Australia induces images of Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman and The Crocodile Hunter. But wine enthusiasts know the country has much more to offer, including super rich Shiraz. The opportunity to tour the vineyards of Australia came my way via an invite from my Aussie-born neighbor and wine enthusiast friend, Dr. Peter White of Upland. I must confess, I don’t like flying, yet the thought of seeing Sydney, Melbourne, the Gold Coast and more was alluring. Australian viticulture in a nutshell goes something like this: Australians have been making wine for 200 years after vines were brought from Europe by early settlers, mainly the Germans and Italians. Today’s vintners are growing and producing world-class pours in 60 wine regions around the country.

The major regions in Australia are Western Australia (Margaret River, Pemberton), New South Wales (Hunter Valley), South Australia (Coonawarra, Clare Valley, Padthaway, Adelaide Hills, Barossa), Tasmania, and Victoria (Yarra Valley, Geelong, Mornington Peninsula, Goulburn Valley). The growing season is the opposite of ours, with harvest time generally starting in late January through March. Australian wines can easily be found in America, mainly under the labels of the larger producers including Jacob’s Creek, Penfolds, Lindemans, Rosemount Estate, McWilliams and Yellowtail. But there are many more diverse winemakers to sample. The land down under has become the world’s fourth largest exporter of wine, and rates seventh in worldwide production at 130 million cases — the majority with “twist-off” tops. Don’t laugh, because the Aussies got it right on that one. There’s never a “dud” bottle. Australia’s wine consumption is 45 million cases, nearly twice as much per capita as in the States — surprising because Australia is considered to be a country of beer drinkers. On the recommendation of Aussie born winemaker Daryl Groom of Healdsberg-Sonoma, we visited wineries
in the Yarra Valley, including De Bortoli because of its similar Italian heritage to my family’s winery. The lush rolling hills of the Yarra Valley reminded me of areas of Bordeaux in the fall. Yarra Valley is the closest wine region to the Victorian capital of Melbourne. Less than one hour from downtown, it is recognized as Australia’s leading coolclimate region and home to more than 80 wineries and growers with 3,800 hectares. It is a diverse terroir, offering a range of classic wine styles, exhibiting fine fruit flavor, fine tannins and outstanding palate length. It is cooler than Bordeaux, but warmer than Burgundy, with well structured soils proven ideal for viticulture. Unfortunately, the February brushfires hit in places where many hectares of vines had not been harvested. “We were forced to pick one month early and at night due to the excessive heat and smoke from the fires,” said Roland Holmes, Wine Educator at Coldstream Hills. “We lost nearly 75 percent of our crop in Yarra.” Our visit to De Bortoli Winery and Restaurant was most informative and enjoyable. We were welcomed by Brett Stanley, the hospitality and tourism manager, in the tasting room, or “cellar door” as they say. We were escorted to the

Since a higher percentage of weddings are now held at outdoor venues, gardens and wineries are popular choices for this summer and beyond. Also, outdoor settings often encourage a more environmentally conscious approach. Kimberly Saxelby of True Emotions Photography in Upland catches it all through the camera’s eye. “A ‘green’ theme is becoming more popular everywhere, so I’ve noticed a lot of brides are trying to give the venue a more eco-friendly look,” she says. “An outdoor wedding has a more fun and laid-back feel, the décor options are limitless, and couples can be more creative and unique.” The top-heavy floral arrangements of the past are being replaced by more streamlined versions. “In table centerpieces, we are seeing more light and airy floral arrangements,” Saxelby says. “Wonderful, tall vases are popular and accents like vines and twigs, rather than traditional ‘filler flowers,’ are being shown.” The green, earthy feel can also be seen in color choices. Brides are now selecting simpler floral designs, with lots of green flowers in the main bouquet, she adds.
Personalized everything
If something can be personalized, it likely will be. “His and hers” luggage tags, T-shirts, flip-flops, labels, matchbooks, mini-picture frames, cigars, M&M’s and much, much more can be customized. Saxelby’s favorite personalized wedding favors include: s A CD with music from the wedding s A mini book with pictures telling the story of how the couple met and fell in love s A beautiful box of scented candles It’s also becoming standard for the bride and groom to maintain a custom Web site so friends and family can track the progress toward the wedding day and keep up with the latest news. Fun and non-traditional
Vintage-looking, less formal gowns are coming on strong. This gives permission for new lengths in bridal gowns that haven’t been seen much in the past. In addition, there is a sudden
casualness to bridesmaid dresses and all of the accents. “Mis-matched place settings, flowers and gowns are fun trends,” Saxelby says. “It’s not uncommon for brides to go without a veil and accent her hair with flowers instead. Another nice change is the absence of a head table. The bride and groom can now sit with their family and the bridal party can sit wherever they like. “And, one of the most unique things I’ve seen is when the proceeds from the money dance are donated to the couple’s favorite charity.”
s Serving cupcakes instead of wedding cake. Yum! Most guests are really enjoying this trend. s Photo booths are a fun way for guests and bridal party members to pass the time and make funny memories.

Other trends
s Theme weddings. Harley Davidson fans, sports fanatics, music enthusiasts and others are more apt to incorporate their passions into the big day. s Light-up table linens can be specialordered for an extra special touch. s Orange is popping up everywhere wedding-wise.

Imagine having pain in your foot. You receive care from your family physician, a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, who then refers you to a podiatrist. You also receive help from a physical therapist and a pharmacist. Everyone on your health care team talks to each other about your unique health needs, providing comprehensive services. Western University of Health Sciences wants to make this a reality. And the Pomona, Calif. institution is undergoing the largest expansion project in its 32-year history to accomplish this goal, guided by its Ten-Year Strategic Plan. Western University of Health Sciences is a thriving center for medical, health care and veterinary education, as well as research and community outreach. Chartered 32 years ago on the foundation of educating health care professionals to be skillful and compassionate, the university has grown to successfully i ncorporate five colleges: the College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific (COMP, 1977), the College of Allied Health Professions (1996), the College of Pharmacy (1996), the College of Graduate Nursing (1997) and the College of Veterinary Medicine (2003). With the success of these five professional colleges, the university is poised to move into the future in an unprecedented and visionary way, with four new colleges opening within the next year. The College of Dental Medicine, the College of Optometry and the College of Podiatric Medicine will welcome their first students in fall 2009. The Graduate College of Biomedical Sciences will begin admitting students in 2010, further positioning WesternU to comprehensively and successfully meet the diverse health-related needs of a growing p opulation in the West. The next step is to weave all of these health professions together through the Interprofessional Education (IPE) curriculum. Students from all disciplines will work together in the classroom and the examination room, learning about each other’s strengths and areas of expertise. By understanding and appreciating other health professionals’ roles, WesternU students will be able to better serve their patients. “We anticipate that the curriculum we will produce will revolutionize medical education in this country and break down the silos that characterize so many health professions campuses today,” said WesternU President Philip Pumerantz, PhD. “In this curriculum, students from many disciplines will learn together in the classroom, in small group venues, and in clinical experiences with patients.” The Strategic Plan’s emphasis on campus expansion is well underway with the opening of the Banfield Veterinary Clinical Center in summer 2008. Construction is underway on the Health Education Center (HEC) and the Patient Care Center (PCC). The Health Education Center will be the new home of COMP, the College of Dental Medicine, the College of Optometry and the College of Podiatric Medicine. Also under construction is the Patient Care Center, which will combine educational programs and optimal patient care in an environment where students from all disciplines will gain an understanding and appreciation for other health professionals. The buildings are expected to be completed in 2010. WesternU also is serving the health care needs of the Inland Empire with the Western University Milliken Family Medical Office at 8112 Milliken Ave., Suite 101-2 in Rancho Cucamonga. Clinic staff believe high-quality care starts with skilled, caring professionals working together to meet patients’ health-care needs, and hope to forge lifetime partnerships between the patients and WesternU’s health-care p rofessionals.

“When you’re here in school, you will learn to care for human beings. You’re going to be a people person. That’s the philosophy of this university.” Western University President Philip Pumerantz, PhD
The university contributes to the community in many ways. Students and faculty regularly donate their time and expertise at health fairs throughout the area. The university has also partnered with Pomona Unified School District and California State Polytechnic University, Pomona to create the Pomona Health Career Ladder. The Career Ladder will identify math and science scholars in Pomona schools, then guide them through an undergraduate health/science degree at Cal Poly Pomona and into health professions programs at WesternU through a program-based network of outreach, guidance, mentoring and financial assistance. Six Saturday sessions were held in the 2008-09 academic year for sixth-graders interested in the health professions, and the response from students and parents was overwhelmingly positive.
The discipline of learning. The art of caring.
Regardless of how large WesternU becomes, the faculty, administration and students will not lose sight of the reasons they are here. Since its founding, WesternU has built a rich tradition of academic excellence, patient-centered education, lifelong learning and professional leadership. When a student examines a tissue sample under a microscope, that represents a human being, Pumerantz said. “That’s a person who has a family,” he said. “When you’re here in school, you will learn to care for human beings. You’re going to be a people person. That’s the philosophy of this university.”

Taking the leap A dv ice for ca r e e r ch a nge rs , job h u n t e rs
By LUANNE J. HUNT
L
ife changes can often sound like a good idea until you’re in the midst of them. Especially when they’re brought about by a job loss, forcing one to adapt to a different way of living. Millions of Americans today are facing major lifestyle modifications as companies both large and small have scaled back or gone out of business. “When a person is at the crossroads of a career change, it should not be viewed as a crisis, but a chance for something new and wonderful in their life,” said Redlands-based career counselor and industrial psychologist Dr. Nancy Carritte, whose past and present clients include the American Red Cross, University of Phoenix and Red Bull energy drink. “Adopting this mindset will go along way in ensuring a positive outcome through all of life’s transitions.” Despite the tough and unpredictable times, there are positive solutions for everyone, Carritte says. In her practice, she provides clients with a safe place to examine where they’re at in their professional lives, define their desires and establish a new direction for their futures. Anyone who is changing careers, forced or otherwise, can utilize Carritte’s five-step plan of action to help get through the transition. It’s not a simple process, she admits, and will require patience, determination and soul-searching.
Assess your situation
Stop, take a deep breath and ask yourself if you really want to remain on your existing career path. Often, people have unfulfilled dreams, so this may be a great time to start a business or indulge in a love of reading by working in that quaint little bookstore downtown. Also, if the kids are grown and financial obligations aren’t high, consider working part-time or doing consulting. Inventory your skills
Many people who have worked their entire adult lives still aren’t sure what their skills are. Start by making a list of skills and take a career assessment test, which are available online and through a counselor. Pinpointing a skill set can give a job hunter a better idea of what kind of work will bring the most contentment. Investigate opportunities
Once a target career is identified, begin
looking in local newspapers and other community publications for openings. There are also many online resources that list job or small business opportunities.
assistance for a fee. If money is an issue, visit the local library for books on resumé writing and how to present yourself to a potential employer.
Build a network
With any career change, Carritte warns that there are psychological stresses. It’s normal to feel confused, uncomfortable and even depressed, she said. Additionally, the financial pressures of being out of work can take a toll, bringing a sense of hopelessness and desperation. But Carritte cautions job seekers about jumping into just any job that comes along. To help make the right choice, a job seeker must be willing to step back and take a serious look at how to successfully enter the next phase of his or her life. Carritte also says everyone should remember that a job should not define an individual. A person’s true identity is best discovered through spending time with family, hobbies and other interests that bring a sense of peace and fulfillment.
Career-changers will find this is a crucial step to finding new opportunities. Talk with friends, family, former co-workers and acquaintances to find out what contacts they can offer. Also consider joining community groups, such as the Chamber of Commerce, where local business people connect and exchange resources. Another great place to find employment opportunities is through personnel agencies or job fairs. Prepare your pitch
If someone has been in the same job for many years, it’s likely they will need help writing a professional-looking resume and prepping for interviews. There are countless services offering that type of

better living | family fun
summer 5’s Have the best summer ever! Be creative, have fun and try something new with your family. Here are five lists of five ideas especially for youngsters from writer Karen Jonas:
read
hear
experience
Ideas for teens; some parental guidance may be needed.
“The E.N.D.” The Black Eyed Peas’ CD and hit single “Boom Boom Pow” are sure to please.
Show the kids how to start a diary, and have them record their thoughts, feelings and activities for the entire summer. After returning to school, they’ll have a jump on the “What I did during summer vacation” assignment.
“Twilight” by Stephanie Meyer. It’s the book that started the phenomenon.
do
treat
Spend a day at the beach. Go swimming with the kids in the morning, then show them how to roast hot dogs in a fire pit at night.
Find a recipe online and make ice cream. You’ll need ice, rock salt, vanilla, milk and sugar, as well as some plastic bags.
Rent DVDs for a scary movie marathon, complete with popcorn and a dark room (or a comedy marathon if the kids don’t like scary movies.)
Corn on the cob tastes best at the beach. One method: boil a large pot of sea water (yes, regular sea water) and put the corn in the water without removing the husks. Once the corn is cooked, slather on butter and enjoy. No need for any extra salt!
Sleep under the stars — even if it’s sleeping bags in the back yard. Be sure to turn off the automatic sprinklers. Have a video-game tournament. Take out the camcorder or digital camera and make a short movie.
Freeze grapes and eat them on a blistering summer day. Let the kids spend the ENTIRE DAY in pajamas, relaxing. Watch the sun set over the ocean.
“Angus, Thongs and FullFrontal Snogging” by Louise Rennison. Meet a teenage girl who tries to reduce the size of her nose, stop her mad cat from terrorizing the neighborhood, and win the love of a handsome boy. “Lady Liberty: A Biography” by Lenore Skomal. Learn the story behind the Statue of Liberty — an appropriate read for the Fourth of July weekend. “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian” by Sherman Alexie. It’s the winner of the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature. “Made You Look: A Book of Puzzling Pictures” by Marilyn Green. Check out the hidden pictures, matching games and what’swrong searches again and again. New things will pop up every time.
“Endless Summer” by the Beach Boys is the perfect summer album and includes top hits “Little Deuce Coupe” and “California Girls.” “All I Ever Wanted” by Kelly Clarkson features great singles from the first “American Idol” winner including, “My Life Would Suck Without You.” “When the World Comes Down” by The All American Rejects is happiness for alt music buffs. “Gives You Hell” should always be listened to at full volume. “I Am... Sasha Fierce” is another fantastic CD by Beyoncé Knowles. This one features “If I Were a Boy” and “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).”
Follow a passion. Like animals? Volunteer at an animal shelter. Like to read? Join a summer reading club. Spend at least an hour outside each day. Play catch with a football or Frisbee. The exercise and fresh air will do everyone good. Park it. There are fun things to do at parks both large and small. Fly a kite. Feed the birds and squirrels. Run relay races. Take a block of ice and slide down a hill. Act like a kid. Put on a puppet show. Play with Legos. Blow bubbles. Your kids will have all sorts of ideas.

The Claremont Community Foundation and the Claremont Educational Foundation hosted the second annual Mi Casa Es Su Casa wine-tasting fundraiser at Hotel Casa 425, a boutique hotel in downtown Claremont. Guests mingled in the intimate courtyard of the hotel as they sampled delicious wines and appetizers. Participating wine makers included Domaine Chandon, Eden Canyon, Flora Springs, Nickel & Nickel and Two Angels. The Claremont Community Foundation is 20 years old and going strong. Last year, it awarded 13 grants totaling $17,500 for a broad range of programs. The Claremont Educational Foundation was started to help support local school programs.

Long-time Inland Valley residents connected with their pasts and helped make sure that newcomers know about the area’s once proud citrus heritage. More than 250 people filled the tented side yard and adjacent orange groves at the historic Reeder Ranch in Montclair for a joint fundraiser for the Reeder Heritage Ranch Foundation and the Soroptimist International Montclair/ Inland Valley. They enjoyed wine, delicious appetizers and lots of shared memories. Remnants of the region’s citrus history can be hard to find, but not if you know where to look. The Reeder Ranch is one place not to miss. The Foundation wants to open an interpretive center at the Holt Boulevard site. 6

seen Five years ago, John Solomon came up with a way to help the community, particularly children. So the owner of Liquorama Fine Wine & Spirits in Upland combined what he knows best — his knowledge of wine and his contacts within the industry — with the continuing need of funding for the Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center’s neonatal intensive care unit and its pediatric unit fund. The annual spring wine-tasting fundraiser attracts hundreds, which was the case again this year as supporters packed the DoubleTree Hotel in Ontario.

Journeys in
life
Carla Sanders with then Sen. Alan Cranston (D-Calif.) in 1977
By CARLA SANDERS
M
y friend, Sally, left her Inland Empire home and journeyed to Montana’s Glacier National Park to work there one summer during her college years. She essentially was a maid — and loved every minute of being there. Another friend, Diana, headed off to Yosemite National Park — sans job — but she and a teenage friend were lucky enough to score seasonal summer employment. They worked in food service, and she gets nostalgic recalling that time in her life. My husband cleaned swimming pools and was a lifeguard, the latter also the summer job of another friend. My sister, a recent college graduate whose part-time jobs usually were in offices, opted for something totally different the summer after graduation — and before she was to start her student teaching. She worked as the swing-shift waitress at The Truckadero, a trucker-favorite coffee shop. There is a certain romanticism linked to summer jobs, especially in youth. The jobs

often are different from everyday life. There is the promise of meeting new people (new friends and possible summer romances). If you love it, there is sometimes the possibility of extending it longer; if you hate it, it will be over in mere months. For me, the summer jobs usually were an extension of my part-time work during the rest of the year. In high school, I worked as a sales clerk at Sears, and later sold clothes and shoes in a country club golf pro shop. The latter provided me with one of those road-not-taken opportunities in my life. The man who owned the pro shop where I worked also owned the shop at an old, prestigious country club in Colorado. The summer after my freshman year in college he asked whether I would like to go and work in the Colorado shop from June through August. His family had a home there and I could stay with them. I should have jumped at the chance. What an adventure it would have been! Instead, in an astonishing lack of wisdom by my 18-year-old self, I turned him down. I had good, serious reasons: I’d miss my friends. I’d miss the summer parties. What if that guy I liked found someone else while I was gone? Oh my. Through the years I’ve thought about that missed opportunity — and what
might have transpired that summer. I’ve learned a few things in the intervening years and have let few other chances slip by. These days, I seize opportunities right and left, and look for adventures big and small — whether an African safari on my own or a road trip with my family. Still, I did have one memorable working summer. After my junior year in college, I needed to do a journalism internship. I was a broadcasting major so, for eight weeks, I worked as a reporter at the local CBS TV affiliate not far from campus. I had an amazing time, covering fires and festivals, crime and court cases, sports and the silly stuff of summer. I also did my first interview of a major public figure (then Sen. Alan Cranston of California) and went inside a maximum security prison to interview inmates (and saw the cell of Manson family member Tex Watson). I even got to ride in — and fly — the Goodyear Blimp. That summer job led me here, along a journalistic road that I’ve traveled now for more than 30 years. Like the summer jobs of our youth, there is still excitement and anticipation of what lies around the next bend in this road. And, the view never gets old.
