Fall is in the air
VOLUME 1, ISSUE 2
Fred H. Hamilton PUBLISHER & CEO
F
all brings a cold nip to the air that is often welcomed after a traditionally hot summer in Redlands. The arrival of blustery days and a landscape of vibrant autumn colors set the scene for the impending season of sports, social activities and cultural events. It is the time for sports fans to fill up the bleachers and get ready for some football as teams from all three high schools — the Redlands Terriers, the Redlands East Valley Wildcats and the Citrus Valley Blackhawks — and the University of Redlands Bulldogs have started their seasons. For those who enjoy a gentler pace, golf on the green at the Redlands Country Club might be a good choice. While out there, golfers may meet new general manager Eric Keyser and find out why he is known as the “candyman.” Fall also is the time when Redlands calendars fill up with cultural and charity events. We are fortunate here in Our Town. We don’t have to leave the city limits to enjoy art, music and theater. We also are fortunate to live among folks who care about each other and the community, and donate their time to organize events that benefit others. A bounty of cultural arts presents itself in the fall, including the season opener of the Redlands Symphony in October. For a city of its size, Redlands is fortunate to have its own symphony. Likewise, the symphony and its audience are fortunate to have a venue as grand as the University of Redlands Memorial Chapel. Before fall officially begins Sept. 22, Redlanders will have enjoyed Dinner in the Grove and raised money for the Family Service Association, which has been serving the community for more than a century. Dining in the middle of one of our beloved orange groves is a treat and an easy way to donate to one of our most prominent local charities. Soon after will be the Love of Food and Wine dinner, hosted by Citrograph Printing Company owners Al Hernandez and Ryan Bailey, plus Chef Roberto Argentina, owner of Farm Artisan Foods. Money raised by this wine-pairing dinner will provide scholarships for University of Redlands students. Fall is a great time to enjoy Redlands. I hope you enjoy this edition of Redlands Magazine as well.

nonprofit | munchin’ at the mansion
Fill up, be fulfilled By CATHERINE E. GARCIA
A
who’s who of local dignitaries, eateries and wineries is about to descend upon Edwards Mansion for the third annual Munchin’ at the Mansion fundraiser. The Oct. 7 event will raise money and also awareness for the Court Appointed Special Advocate program of San Bernardino County. CASA’s goal is to improve the quality of life for children in foster care and prepare them for adulthood by providing advocacy in juvenile court through trained volunteers. “We are so excited that this event has really taken off, and we’re glad we have a venue to celebrate the fact that we’ve been able to help San Bernardino County kids,” said Kara Hunter, program manager. “It’s been a rough go with the way the economy is, and we feel very fortunate for surviving.” Munchin’ at the Mansion will feature food from such establishments as Mikan,

Isabella’s, Casa Maya, Kool Kactus and Dhat Island Foods, sweets from Michelle’s Bakery, wine from J. Filippi Winery, beer from Hangar 24 Brewery and margaritas from Las Fuentes. Music will be provided by the Cal State San Bernardino music department. For the first time, live and silent auctions will be held, with prizes including a cruise and brunch in San Diego and a weekend getaway to Mammoth Mountain. In another departure from years past, all of the mansion’s grounds will be open. The event promises to be informal and fun. “What people love is that it’s on a Wednesday, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.,” said chairman Deborah O’Hara. “They can swing over after work, and don’t have to worry about changing. It’s casual.” The mix of guests often includes notable names from around San Bernardino County. “There are judges, congresspeople, councilpeople — a lot of movers and shakers,” O’Hara said. But the most important guests are CASA

volunteers, who spread the word about the organization and the impact that it has. “People who are thinking about being a CASA or really don’t get it can talk to volunteers,” O’Hara said. “It’s not like reading a brochure. When someone doesn’t really understand what CASA is, once they get there and see the people and the excitement, they get it very quickly.” CASA is celebrating its 25th anniversary, and organizers would like nothing more than to see their ranks expand. “We have more than 5,400 kids in foster care in San Bernardino County, and our goal is to be able to provide a CASA for 10 percent of those kids,” said O’Hara. “Right now, we’re serving just over 100. It’s a big goal, but very doable.” Munchin’ at the Mansion Edwards Mansion, 2064 Orange Tree Lane, Redlands Oct. 7 at 5:30 p.m. $65, or $500 for a table of eight 909-881-6760, www.casaofsb.org

Touring the
old town By JENNIFER M. DOBBS
L
ike New York, Redlands at one time also could have been called The City That Never Sleeps. Local historian Tom Atchley describes a young State Street as active 24 hours a day — a place where shopkeepers lived above their stores, children played in the street and residents were alerted about the arrival of tourists by a train whistle.
Above, a bas-relief adorns the Santa Fe Depot. Right, President Theodore Roosevelt visited Redlands in 1903, and The Phinney Block was decorated for the occasion.
Evening entertainment was often found downtown at a billiard hall. Before Citrograph Printing Company moved to 113 E. State St. in 1929, the building housed one of about four or five pool halls, served as a tobacco lounge, and though Prohibition was in place, corks found under wood floor planks suggest customers may have imbibed there on occasion. Life has certainly changed. But evidence of those early years can still be found thanks to the walking tour of historic The Citrograph at its second location on State Street.

downtown Redlands put together by Atchley and members of the Historic and Scenic Preservation Commission in the late 1980s. Atchley suggests walking the back alleys to catch a glimpse of the original brick buildings, then use your imagination to travel back to a time when Redlands was young. Worthwhile stops include:
Citrograph Printing Company 113 E. State St.
Al Hernandez and Ryan Bailey bought Citrograph Printing Company from Richard Caudle Jr. and consider it a great responsibility to own the business with the oldest name in Redlands. The Citrograph was the first newspaper in town, produced on the second floor of

the Buster Building at 28 E. State St. Downstairs was a pharmacy that may have offered a “medicinal drink” for a price. The Citrograph ceased publication in 1905, but the name was retained for a printing business that moved to 113 E. State St. in 1929. Hernandez and Bailey learned about the business from Caudle, who also taught them about giving back to the community. In that spirit, they started Vintage Redlands, a walking wine tour in the spring to raise money for scholarships. The duo also hosts the Love of Food and Wine Dinner, a wine-pairing dinner at Farm Artisan Foods, located at 22 E. State St. Before the upscale restaurant owned by chef Roberto Argentina found a home at that location, it housed a tin and hardware shop built in 1888. That original structure was torn down and the present building was built in 1957. Hernandez, Bailey and Argentina joined forces to host the dinner annually to raise

and 1902. In 1903, the sign and the property were covered by construction of the Chandler building, which was home to Redlands’ first modern post office. When the building was demolished in 1972, the sign reappeared. It was later repainted.

Santa Fe Depot 351 Orange St.
The first Santa Fe Depot was a wood building just south of the existing structure. The new structure was built in 1910 to serve tourists.
The original train depot was a wooden building that stood in the area that is now a parking lot. In 1910, Santa Fe invested $32,000 to build the current depot, which has fallen into disrepair of late. Plans are in motion to breathe new life into the depot by transforming it into a restaurant/ retail area.

the
By CATHERINE E. GARCIA
T
he violins have been tuned, the clarinets cleaned, and the tubas oiled. The Redlands Symphony Orchestra is ready to go. On Saturday, Oct. 10, the symphony’s 2009-10 season kicks off with a performance featuring guest violinist Gareth Johnson playing works by Weber, Mendelssohn and Dvorak. He will be accompanied by nearly 70 members of the orchestra. It’s just the start of a series of noteworthy concerts. “This season we made a special attempt to program well-known works,” said Jon Robertson, musical director and conductor. “Throughout the country, orchestras are feeling somewhat of a downturn in attendance. Audiences, particularly in these times, want the comfort of familiarity, and we selected great works by composers that are really well known.” The pieces will range from romantic to early classical. The final concert will be a tribute to George Gershwin. “That’s a sure-fire winner,” said Robertson. “For the last two or
three years, we’ve been ending the season with American music, and it’s been tremendously received and successful.” The season will consist of six concerts through May, with half of the concerts featuring some of the classical music world’s most promising rising stars. “It’s wonderful that we can catch them on their way up,” Robertson said. “There will come a time when we won’t be able to afford them!”
Opening night performer Johnson has been featured on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” and is the recipient of several music scholarships. “He’s absolutely dazzling,” said Robertson. “He has a great technique, and wonderful passion in his music.” Cellist Jonah Kim, who will play in January, will bring the house down, Robertson says. “He’s just marvelous. He has one of the finest techniques of any cellist I’ve ever heard. He’s
a wunderkind, and can literally play violin showpieces on the cello, which violinists can hardly do on their violin.” For the last concert of the season, José Menor will tackle Gershwin on the piano. “He’s won major competitions in the U.S. and internationally,” said Robertson. “He’s spectacular.” Other guest performers will include horn player Willi Schwaiger of Vienna and the winner of the

Redlands Symphony Orchestra 2009-10 schedule (All concerts held on Saturdays at 8 p.m.) Oct. 10 Jon Robertson, conductor; Gareth Johnson, solo violin Program: Weber’s “Overture to Euryanthe,” Mendelssohn’s “Violin Concerto” and Dvorak’s “Symphony No. 6” Nov. 7 Jon Robertson, conductor; Willi Schwaiger, solo horn Program: Beethoven’s “Symphony No. 8,” Mozart’s, “Alphorn Concerto” and “Horn Concerto No. 2 in E-flat” and Haydn’s “Symphony No. 21, D Horn Signal”
Student Concerto concert. “The winner will come from the University of Redlands’ School of Music,” said Robertson. “We don’t know yet who that will be.” The Redlands Symphony Orchestra has close ties with the University of Redlands. Many music teachers are first chairs in the orchestra; top students sometimes join the symphony onstage, and concerts are held in the school’s Memorial Chapel. “I think that one of the extraordinary experiences is coming into the Memorial Chapel,” Robertson said. “The sound is visceral. Any outdoor event is wonderful, but you lose a certain amount of sound. It’s not the same intimate experience as you get in a concert hall. You’re going to feel this music and feel the sound. It’s so powerful.” Robertson believes that nothing can match that feeling. “No matter how great a stereo system you have, there is nothing that compares with a live performance,” he said. Robertson is beginning his 28th year with the Redlands Symphony Orchestra, and during that time he has taken the symphony from a community orchestra to a fully professional ensemble. “The growth over the years has been extraordinary,” he said. “It’s very exciting to know how it was 27 years ago, and to hear the performances now, and to know that you don’t have to get into your car and
28

traipse into Los Angeles or Orange County for a wonderful concert. That’s a gift in this day and age.” While Robertson keeps the symphony going onstage, members of the nonprofit Redlands Symphony Association board keep things running behind the scenes. The challenge the organization faces is to try to stimulate fund-raising, says Bruce Satzger, board president. “We pursue various means, such as grants and gift-giving. All of us board members enjoy the music and feel very close to the organization. We’re passionate about it and want it to succeed and be a real jewel for our community.” Raising funds is a top priority for the orchestra, as it needs money to continue its outreach to young musicians. “We try to reach out to students everywhere, from elementary to middle to high school — even to involvement with the University of Redlands’ School of Music,” Satzger said. Through its Orkidstra program, the symphony brings curriculum-based lessons and in-school ensemble performances to fourth- and fifth-graders throughout the Redlands Unified School District, culminating in a special performance at the Memorial Chapel. There’s also a “petting zoo,” which lets kids get closer to the instruments and talk with orchestra members. Robertson hopes everyone in Redlands

and the surrounding communities takes advantage of what the symphony offers. “The level of performing is right at the top,” he said. “It’s an exceptional experience to be able to be part of something that is really good. You don’t expect that in a small town with 75,000 people. This is a world-class orchestra for a world-class community.” For information about the upcoming season or to purchase tickets, call 909-748-8018 or visit www.redlandssymphony.com.

In tune with
Sara Andon Photo by al cuizon
By CATHERINE E. GARCIA
W
hen Sara Andon was 9, she had a choice — learn how to play the drums or the flute. She picked up a flute and has been playing ever since. “At first I thought drums would be very cool because of the physicality of them, and there were very few female percussionists at the time,” she said. “Then I heard the flute again, and there was something in the sound and the expression that truly drew me in. It had such a singing quality.” Andon is the Redlands Symphony Orchestra’s flutist, as well as an instructor at the University of Redlands’ School of Music and the Idyllwild Arts Academy.

| redlandsmagazine.com | fall 09
Also an in-demand recording artist, Andon is frequently in Hollywood, laying down tracks for movies such as “Rush Hour 3,” “Bedtime Stories” and “The Promotion.” “All of this has come together in such a special way,” she said. “The magic is if I can make someone’s life a little brighter and help them forget their troubles, transporting them to another place, even for just one minute, if I can do that, it was worth all of the years of practice and sacrifice that goes into devoting your life to music. It’s not an easy life, but it is incredibly rewarding.” It took Andon some time to decide to become a professional musician. She was interested in other subjects — literature, astronomy, philosophy. “I received a lot of encouragement to go in the direction of music,” she said. “That’s when
I decided to become a professional flutist.� She received her bachelor’s degree in flute performance and music education from Cal State San Bernardino. She went on to earn a master’s of music in flute performance from USC and a post-graduate artist diploma from Yale. Andon has performed everywhere from New England to San Francisco. This summer, she took center stage during the Redlands Bowl Summer Music Festival, when she performed Luigi Boccherini’s Flute Concerto in D Major and Malcolm Arnold’s Concerto for Flute and Strings. “That was an incredibly euphoric experience,� she said. “Maestro Frank Fetta and the Redlands Symphony Orchestra string section were amazing to work with and in their usual top form.� Performing at the Bowl made Andon reminisce about her days as a young musician. “Some of my earliest childhood memories are of going to the Redlands
‘Some of my earliest childhood memories are of going to the Redlands Bowl with my mother and father and older sister and brother.’ Bowl with my mother and father and older sister and brother,� she said. “It made such an impression on me and definitely influenced and inspired my great appreciation and love for music. I will always be grateful to my parents for introducing me to all kinds of arts, but particularly all types of music.� Andon came full circle while standing on the Bowl stage, as she was once one of the festival’s Young Artist Auditions winners. “It was a beautiful and humbling moment,� she said. With a busy summer — which included a trip to New York City for the National Flute Convention and a chamber
recording of music by Beethoven — behind her, Andon is ready to focus on the Redlands Symphony Orchestra’s upcoming performances. “In the symphony’s usual bravura style, it is a fantastic season this year,� she said. “There will be incredible musicians, and some of the most beautiful and brilliant classics of all time — from Mozart, Beethoven and Dvorak to Rossini and Kodaly. It will be inspiring and uplifting.� Andon rehearses with the symphony two to three days a week for two-and-a-half hours a day leading up to the Saturday night concerts. Despite her hectic schedule, she is able to balance both performing and teaching. “Teaching is one of the most important and rewarding experiences I’ve ever had,� she said. “I love teaching all ages and abilities. It is a chance to give back all that was given to me. It is exhilarating doing what is your passion for a living.�

anton Bistro is a relative newcomer to the Redlands restaurant scene, and certainly not the first place to serve sushi, Chinese and Thai fare and steaks. Sam Haddaden Wait a minute — sushi, Chinese, Thai and steaks? “It’s different,” owner Sam Haddaden said about the combination. “This is what everybody tells me.” Canton Bistro offers an extensive menu, with sections for soups, salads and appetizers, plus sushi and sashimi, rice, meat and vegetable entrees, party platters and lunch specials. “Everything’s fresh — we cook everything as we go,” said server Lisa Tran, who has worked at Canton Bistro since it opened in January 2008. “People love the food.” The menu was designed with variety and choice in mind.“Some people like sushi, some people like Chinese,” Haddaden said. The most popular dishes are the orange and kung pao chicken. Canton sushi bowl PhotoS by Lea Reed

Another favorite is the Mexican roll, with crab, jalapeño, asparagus, avocado, eel sauce and spicy mayonnaise sauce. Popular choices among the sashimi dishes are the combination plates. Haddaden enjoys bringing new selections to the menu. A recent addition was the kata
or boki bowl, a Japanese rice bowl with diced raw fish and sesame sauce. “It’s a different kind of sushi,” Haddaden said. Specials include all-you-can-eat sushi for $24.95 Sunday through Thursday. The drink menu includes martinis, sake, beer, mixed drinks, wine (including plum) and coffee drinks. The restaurant has a full bar, late-night dining until 2 a.m., take-out and catering.

Pampering the
By JOY JUEDES
F skin is in
all and winter weather conditions and busy schedules may take their toll on your skin, but there are ways to fight back. “Your skin will change with the seasons. From summer to winter, the atmosphere changes,” said Rachel Spears, an esthetician at Bella Visage Salon & Spa in Redlands. The most important thing to have is an “arsenal” of moisturizing creams. “Anything from a cream to a gel so you’re able to go with the fluctuation in seasons,” she said. Skin can become dehydrated if it does not get the proper amount of moisture. “Probably what I see more of in winter is moisture deprivation,” said Marisa Trammell, an esthetician at Evans and Company in Redlands. “I can usually tell when they’re using a heater — the skin looks dehydrated. “I say, ‘Let’s make sure you’re using proper skin-care products for this time of year. Go to a thicker instead of light gel, and usually back off peels a little more.” She often tells clients to scale back on
products and get a humidifier or fountain for moisture. And sunblock is still important this time of year, according to Mimi Barre, owner of International Day Spa in Redlands. “You need to protect your skin and one thing people don’t realize is just because summer is over you shouldn’t stop using an SPF,” said Angelina Faith, a skin-care therapist at Bella Visage. “Especially for people who like to do winter activities, reflections from the sun can be damaging.” “Protection is super important, even if you’re (just) walking outside your house,” Trammell said. Spears recommended people of all ages see a skin-care specialist or dermatologist. “It gets them to where their skin needs to be … how to handle these type of issues, if they’re experiencing them.” She and Barre said the most important thing is to moisturize day and night. Spears said people should use a day and night moisturizer. The night product should be heavier. “It’s as crucial as you can get,” she said. Faith and Trammell agreed that switching up products can be a good idea, because skin may not have the same needs in summer as winter. Just be sure to throw away items that have gone past the expiration date. There are good products available for what is known as winter itch, Trammell said. And Faith added that drinking a lot of water and a proper diet also are important. “People don’t realize diet affects (their skin),” Faith said. Alcohol and sugar dehydrate the body, so it’s a good idea to limit their consumption. And eating lots of vegetables is important. There are little things that can be done regularly, such as changing pillowcases frequently and wiping off phones, Faith said. Trammell added that it is important to get enough sleep every night.
Beauty ba sics Suggestions from Mimi Barre, owner of International Day Spa in Redlands: • Every morning after cleansing, while the skin is still damp, apply an active treatment, then a moisturizer. Even if the skin is oily, it’s important to moisturize. In that case, try a light, oil-free one. • At night, cleanse, treat and apply a nighttime moisturizer to soothe the skin and to repair the damage inflicted during the day. • Skiers and snowboarders should wash their faces and, while still damp, apply a good coat of moisturizing SPF 30 cream. Also use an eye cream with an SPF. Then smear on a thick, occlusive barrier like Vaseline, Aquaphor or even Crisco. Wash off at night with warm water. • At night, wash hands with warm water, then massage in a rich, emollient cream. Slip on nighttime gloves or old socks, then go to bed. This is also a treat for feet that survived the summer in sandals. Bella Visage Salon & Spa 1765 Orange Tree Lane, Redlands; 909-792-1514, www.bvredlands.com Evans and Company 101 S.

Meet the Candyman By JESSE B. GILL
E
ric Keyser has worked in Redlands for just a month and already he has a nickname. “They call me the Candyman.” On any given Tuesday, golfers at Redlands Country Club see this well-dressed man, who is the new general manager, riding in a golf cart holding a glass bowl filled with miniature chocolate candy bars. When he encounters a group of golfers on a green, Keyser offers them candy. Near the end of July, Keyser, 40, his wife and four children, packed up and left their home in Boulder, Colo., and moved to Redlands. While new to the Inland Empire, Keyser is no stranger to a golf course. A wrestler in high school, Keyser started golfing at age 26 and hasn’t looked back since.

“At 28, I quit my job and went to the San Diego Golf Academy, which is a two-year, accredited golf college,” Keyser said. “That was my ‘in’ into the business.” Since 2000, Keyser has worked as general manager at clubs all over the country, mostly east of Colorado. Growing up in Richmond, Va., Keyser was active in sports and saw himself working in a field that was close to some kind of high-level sporting event. “At one time, I thought I would get into journalism in terms of being a sportscaster or something in some sort of athletic field,” he said. Keyser holds a bachelor’s degree in speech communications from the University of North Carolina. Before working at country clubs, Keyser ran a publishing business

and managed several restaurants. Keyser said his experience in the hospitality business gives him a perfect perspective for managing a country club. He has big plans for the RCC. He wants to bring the club to full membership and give members and visitors the best experience they’ve ever had. “If somebody is paying their money to come in and recreate, whether that’s having a nice dining experience, or having a nice experience out on the golf course, they’re spending their luxury dollars to come in and enjoy something,” he said. “We’re here to provide that element and that environment to give them the best experience they can get.” Similar to the experiences of managers of different types of businesses all over the country, Keyser said the biggest challenge facing Redlands Country Club is the current economy. “Private clubs are a luxury item so when people are looking at their budgets and what can be cut, they look at whatever they spend each month at a country club and that’s the first thing that is not a necessity,” he said. “Our objective is to provide an experience so good that they don’t want to relinquish those luxuries.” Keyser believes the country club’s employees are the key to making sure members keep coming back. “We’ve got a great team in place. We have some very long-tenured employees here, which speaks to them enjoying their jobs.” And when Keyser cruises the golf course with his bowl of candy, RCC employees are just as entitled to a treat as anybody else. As he passes groundskeepers, he’s sure to bring the golf cart to a halt, thank them for their work and let them grab a treat or two.

Optimist Car Show and Chili Cook-off
1
Car enthusiasts packed Sylvan Park on a warm summer afternoon for the 18th annual Optimist Club Car Show and Chili Cook-off. The event attracted about 250 entrants, who showed off classic Chevys, Fords, GTOs and a variety of other makes and models. Vendors sold shaved ice, hot dogs, beer and other refreshments, and The Tornadoes provided the soundtrack with surf music. The Optimist Club uses the money it takes in from the event — the organization’s biggest fund-raiser of the year — for youth programs in Redlands. 2

We invited Dr. Larry Burgess, director of the A.K. Smiley Library and adjunct professor at UC Riverside, to prepare a quick local history quiz for Redlands buffs. An archivist and author of “Redlands, Images of America” (2004) and “The Hunt for Willie Boy” (1994), Burgess also told us how he became interested in local history:
“It all started at the University of Redlands. I did a senior paper as a history major and my professor wanted me to look into the origin of Redlands as a city. I was resistant and wanted a more broad-based topic. But once I got into it, I was hooked. ... I (also) learned that understanding where you live can be the basis for understanding where you’re going.” In that spirit we offer this quiz:
