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,
12
| redlandsmagazine.com | fall 09
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
courtesy michael Kelley photography
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.”

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
Inside the Citrograph Printing Company, circa 1930s. Some of the original equipment remains.
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.

in 1909. The architecture of the building
matched the Santa Fe Depot next door.
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.

Time to
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

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
| redlandsmagazine.com | fall 09
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

“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.”

In tune

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.
30
| 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.”

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 Bistro is a well-appointed place to go for lunch, dinner and a nightcap.
Egg rolls
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.
There also is live entertainment

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.

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.
42
| redlandsmagazine.com | fall 09
“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
We look forward to making your next event
unforgettable!
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

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.

of Redlands in 1932.
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:
