ANTHONY VIRELLA Widely respected for his skill, knowledge, and compassion. r. Virella can resolve back problems to brain tumors with microsurgical techniques. This results in less scarring and faster recovery. Dr. Virella is a graduate of Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons (P&S) and a board-certified Diplomate of the American Board of Neurological Surgery. He is a graduate of the UCLA Neurosurgery Residency Program under the direction of one of the leading cerebrovascular neurosurgeons, Dr. Neil A. Martin. Additionally, Dr. Virella completed his complex spine in-folding fellowship at the world renowned Cleveland Clinic Foundation with Dr. Edward C. Benzel, MD, followed by a second fellowship in Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery at the UCLA Comprehensive Spine Center. Virella’s expertise is the management of complex spinal disorders and rare and complex brain tumors. He is also considered a specialist in the management of cerebrovascular disease, including cerebral aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations (AVM’s). His specialty includes a focus on minimally invasive microsurgical techniques in treating spine and back prob10 WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 lems, the benefit of which is not only less scarring and faster recovery, but faster return to work times. That, in short, means a better quality of life, post op. In addition to specializing in a variety of spinal and cerebral disorders, Dr. Virella is a specialist in Gamma Knife Surgery--which despite what that name implies is an outpatient, non-invasive technology that can be used to treat a variety of neurological disorders, tumors and cerebrovascular problems. As a nationally recognized specialist in the field who has authored numerous articles and lectured internationally in complex and minimally invasive spine surgery, he also has expertise in rare and complex brain tumors. You wouldn’t expect a neurosurgeon with this kind of training and experience to also have a bedside manner but Dr. Virella is, in fact, very personable – a demeanor very similar to what you’d expect with a family physician. After serving as the Director of Neurological Surgery at the Ventura County Medical Center from April 2005 thru June 2007, Dr. Virella began his private practice and has been on staff at Los Robles Hospital and Medical Center for four years. He was born and raised in New York City prior to migrating out west for residency training. He and Renee Wilkins-Virella have an eight-year old daughter and three-year old identical twin boys that keep them on their toes. They also enjoy working closely with their church and travel to Guatemala donating his time and surgical expertise. Dr. Virella is fluent in Spanish. Dr. Virella says, “The neurosurgeon you choose should indeed be properly qualified. Having confidence in your neurosurgeon’s background and expertise is extremely important.” It appears that three vitally important qualities; skill, knowledge and compassion are all present in this young surgeon’s foundation.

Although it was the 25th time Senior Concerns had hosted its Ultimate Dining Gala Dinner and Auction, they topped themselves again. The 400 or so guests that wandered in the garden, plate and glass in hand, were chatting, tasting, exclaiming with pleasure at all the tapas prepared for them by chefs from The Grill on the Alley, Westlake Village Inn, North Ranch Country Club and Atria Executive Dining. Participating wineries were Wedell Cellars, Herzog Winery, Cantarra Cellars and Mitchell Katz Winery. In addition to the tapas, May’s Catering served a selection of savory appetizers. All services were donated to support the event. 16 WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 Guests also had a chance to win a 5-night stay in the Ambassador Suite at the Hyatt Regency in Waikiki with a $500 airfare allowance. In the ballroom a beef tenderloin dinner with a gourmet salad and a selection of desserts was prepared respectively by the Hyatt Westlake Plaza, Tierra Sur and Let’s Get Cooking. Prior to dinner, guests were able to wander through the diverse selection of silent auction items, sipping champagne or wine and studying trip, jewelry, and other items available for bid. The excitement generated during the silent auction and raffle escalated during the live auction when a 5-night stay in Paris for two, along with airfare came on the block. Ashley Wales, Senior Concerns’ Development Coordinator, stated that this had been a challenging year. “We maintain an Alzheimer’s resource center, Meals on Wheels, a Financial Abuse Specialist, Senior Advocates, a support group for caregivers, case management services and a much-used adult daycare center.

Six area homes featuring kitchens both large and small, and one industrial kitchen, were on display. Each home offered elegant edibles from sources like Boccaccio’s on the Lake, Let’s Get Cooking, Leila’s, Moz Buddah Lounge, Sweet Art Factory and Pierre’s Catering. Kitchens opened at 11 AM, manned by ALCV volunteers who were ready to greet a steady stream of guests and show them the high points of each kitchen. Members of the Assisteens, an auxillary of ALCV, volunteered to outfit visitors in booties to tour each house. Armed with their maps, intrepid kitchen scouts made their way around the Westlake/North Ranch perimeter. While the regular tour ran from 11 AM to 4 PM, Grissini Ristorante Italiano, the industrial kitchen, was open from 3 to 5 PM with some mouthwatering pasta to sample. 20 WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 As if this didn’t make a complete day, a late afternoon event, Wine Tasting and Food Pairings, was held at a spectacular hilltop estate with fabulous views, built to accommodate entertaining on a large scale. Those attending tasted wines provided by Donati Family Vineyards, Opolo Vineyards O’Shaughnessy Vineyards, Vines on the Mary Crest and Wade’s Wines. Hors d’oeuvres were provided by Pierre’s Catering and cheese from Artisan Cheese Gallery with olive oils from We Olive. A silent auction also offered attendees a chance to bid on some great vacations and other special events. All proceeds will go toward funding ALCV programs.

WM In 2009-2010, Assistance League® of Conejo Valley provided: New school clothing to 1365 deserving area children from 13 schools through Target Shopping Nights CASEY bears to children and others in crisis at 10 facilities Clothing and toiletries to 2 hospitals and Safe Harbor East Emergency clothing kits to 36 local elementary schools 93 dictionaries to 2 schools 390 stuffed backpacks to children Volunteers tutored 20 students.

SOS (Spotlight on Seniors), a volunteer ukulele and entertainment group, entertained over 800 seniors. WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 21 B ack to school has always been a time to re-organize, re-prioritize and re-invigorate the promises and accomplishments that have somehow lost steam during the long hot summer. If you have children then, no doubt, you have been preparing for the school year to begin since the beginning of August; but even if you don’t have children, this is the time of year that schedules do change and it’s your opportunity to check your priorities and the name at the top of your list should be you. Looking Out for Number One No matter if you have a family or you are a single business owner, today we all have responsibilities and obligations that take up much of our already overscheduled days; it is at the end of those days that you need to make yourself a priority. If you are so determined to get everything done and feel totally drained at the end of the day, only to dread the beginning of tomorrow, this is your wake up call to put you on the top of your list. Scheduling ‘You’ Time When you schedule your day how much time do you schedule for you? Most people will say they just can’t make the time, or worse yet, it’s just not possible; but if they fall ill or were incapacitated for any length of time, somehow things would just work themselves out. Before you crash and burn, start scheduling You time. This means you may need to re-schedule a conference call, or cancel a play date for your kids. If you are not prepared to make yourself a priority, why should anyone else? “Don’t be a time manager, be a priority manager. Cut your major goals into bitesized pieces. Each small priority or requirement on the way to ultimate goal becomes a mini goal in itself.” ~Denis Waitley Compromise We all have the same 24 hours in each day, yet some days seem to fly by and our plate is just as full at the end of the day. We will never get to finish everything, call back everyone, complete our to-do lists for both work and home — well, not unless you’re superhuman. You can, however, make compromises that will allow you to be highly effective at work and with your family. I had an associate whose son was delivering a speech for school and there was a major meeting at work he couldn’t miss. The teacher allowed my associate to watch the sound check rehearsal, giving him the opportunity to support his son and still be available at the work meeting. Sometimes our schedules just don’t allow us to be there for our families, but making the effort to compromise makes all the difference in the world and the memories much sweeter. Developing your Support System There is nothing more comforting than to know there is a group of people who have your back. This includes your family, babysitters, dog walkers, virtual assistants, and all of those people who can and will support you and your family when your schedule just won’t permit you to be in two places at once. This can be costly but in the long run it is well worth it to have your loved ones cared for while you are unable to be there. This is also a time saver, so that when you do get to be with your family and loved ones, you are actually spending quality time with them rather than frenetically trying to get everything done only to rush off to the next appointment. Learn to say ‘No’ We all multitask and often times overcommit ourselves in our careers as well as for our families. No one wants to be the bad-guy, or the heavy so agreeing to bake 60 cupcakes for our kids open house, or saying you’ll stay late to help finish a project at work may seem like a minor inconvenience but winning those “points” will actually end up burning you out. Saying ‘No’ is about taking back your power and controlling your schedule. So remember, it’s not just the leaves that are changing this season; schedules are shifting with kids back in school and this means you need to make the most of your day by taking care of number one (you)! “Getting in touch with your true self must be your first priority.” ~Tom Hopkins WM Alisa Weinstein is a longtime Westlake Village resident, a certified coach, business executive and entrepreneur.

Start with the 1,000 acre Saddlerock Ranch, once part of a 200,000 acre Spanish Land Grant, and add lots of horses, a horse boarding and training facility (stocked with trainers, arenas, trails corrals, paddocks), and 60,000 vines on 65 acres. In addition there are acres and acres of fruit trees, a tasting room, the capacity to accommodate a movie production shoot, sacred caves with ancient Chumash pictographs, various sites to host weddings and special events and weekend concerts. And did I mention zebras, camels, buffalo, peacocks, a collection of Airstream trailers and vintage farm wagons? You get the idea; an exhausting potpourri of things that would make even Will Rogers scratch his chin in puzzlement. WESTLAKE WESTLAKE MAGAZINE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | MAR/APR | 2010 | 2010 25 25 Tami Semler: When my father bought the ranch there was nothing on the land but a couple of oak trees, but I think my father was always a cowboy. At 16, living in Studio City, he would disappear up the hill in the very early morning hours everyday. His father was curious and followed him one morning to find that his son had built a makeshift barn and had bought a horse, stabling him in the barn. Every morning he went up the hill to ride the horse for a few hours before school. WM: Are you a horse person too? I had the chance to sit down with Tami Semler, right-hand woman for her father, Ron Semler, who bought the ranch in 1979, after the devastating Malibu fire in 1978. The Semler family, with nine children, big and small, and grandchildren live at the ranch and, while it might seem like paradise, it must be said it is a working paradise. Everyone contributes. The day I was there one of the 10-year olds talked of working on the fences in the morning. 26 WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 Tami: Admitting your problem is the first step to recovery. Yes, I’ve ridden for years and I am passionate about horses. As kids we used to saddle the horses and be off as early as possible. We rode all over the Santa Monica Mountains and my father knew I was home when my horse was back in the stable – but it did have to be before sunset. Now I train and breed horses. I used to show horses but I am convinced it is just cheaper to buy the gold medal! WM: You mentioned you were a single mom. Tami: I am a single mom with a 12-year old daughter, Sami, and she helps me out with all kinds of work around the ranch. She also loves horses. She is such a great kid and knows how to do so much. We don’t have a television but love to read in the evening. WM: Was the idea of creating a vineyard there from the beginning? Tami: Not really. Horses were a big focus and we had extensive orchards with all kinds of fruit trees. In 1991 we had a massive freeze, losing over a million pounds of fruit and half of our trees. It was clear we needed another crop. In 1997 we put in 14 acres of cabernet and merlot vines. We now have 65 acres of vines and hope to increase to 100 acres. We have eight varietals including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, Malbec, Grenache, Mouvedre and Viognier. The last four of these are used for blending. From a business standpoint the grapes offered us a lot more options without so many middlemen taking a part of the profit. Malibu Family Wines is a joint venture between our family and the DeJoria family and we bottle wines under both the Semler and the Saddlerock labels. WM: You certainly see a lot of vineyards driving down Kanan Road to the ocean. How has this come about so rapidly? Tami: There are several areas in the Santa Monica Mountains with their own AVAs (American Viticultural Area) and each produces very distinctive wines. But it is generally a great place to grow grapes. This part of Malibu is ideal for growing premium wine grapes because we have hot days and cool nights, hillsides on which to grow the vines and we are high enough to be above the fog line. We want to grow great fruit to make great wine. And don’t forget, it all starts with the fruit. WM: You seem to have put a lot of thought in how to share the ranch with the public. Tami: We do a lot of special events here and of course we have the tasting room, which is very popular. On a nice day it is great to drive out here and have a glass of wine under the trees and look out all over the valley. I spend a lot of time work ing in the tasting room and really enjoy meeting all the people who drop by. During the summer we started Movie Nights on Thursdays. We have our CalFresco gourmet food truck and people can come out, grab some food, buy a bottle of wine and relax watching a classic film. A Kobe burger or truffled mac and cheese beats popcorn any day. There is live music from 1 to 3 p.m. throughout the year on Saturdays and Sundays and on Friday and Saturday from 7 to 9 p.m. until mid-September, if the weather stays nice. The food truck is here Friday through Sunday and during the evening events we require a one bottle purchase for two to four people. One Saturday we clocked in over 11,000 visitors from opening to closing. This is a great place to spend an hour or an evening. Come by yourself for some quiet relaxation, with your significant other or with a group. What ever your choice, you will have a good time. And, if you’re lucky, Tami Semler will be at the Tasting Room to share some interesting wine information.

WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 27 By Kathleen Melton Regardless of what the “proper” calendar says, for my family, Fall has always been the start of the New Year. More so than January 1st, birthdays, or even springtime, Fall always feels like a time of regeneration and reinvention. he anticipation of new teachers, friends and adventures at school. The chance to buy new clothes, sharpen new pencils, and open crisp, blank notebooks. Taking time to warm up our home with deep colors, lush carpets, comfy blankets and the enticing smells of saucy stews in the crock-pot. Joining or rooting for favorite sports teams. Signing up at the Rec center to finally learn the tango while the kids learn to make their own stop motion animation films! All of this and more reinvigorates and reinvents our lives and kicks off our New Year – Fall’s New Year. Fall ushers in the opportunity to once again decide how we show up. From the trees literally shedding their leaves to each of us symbolically letting go of the first nine months of the year, fall represents the sloughing off of everything that has led up to this moment. As the branches become bare, as the pumpkins and corn become ripe, and as costumes are created and festive tables set, this season’s events and family gatherings are a celebration and appreciation of the present and a forgiving of the past. The focus finally shifts once again to giving thanks for what we have, who we are, those who have blessed our lives, and the opportunities that lay before us. 28 WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 The feeling generated in our community this time of year changes as significantly as our environments change - both inside and outside the home. The need to connect with and be with one another becomes a predominant factor in our social choices. From Halloween parades at the kids’ schools to reconnecting with neighbors at the farmer’s market and discovering new friends while raking giant leaf piles in the park, celebrating our neighborhoods and all they have to offer is what makes Fall feel like the time of year when you are truly home. So gather with your friends and family, venture out and explore all that Westlake Village has to offer during this season. From the book clubs at the library to events at the local pumpkin patch, from exploring the Pentacheta Trail off Lindero to attending the high school homecoming football game, opportunities abound within this wonderful community for all of us to once again acknowledge what is most important – our relationships with others.

WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 29 To know where we are going, we must understand where we have been. It is that understanding that inspires us to take the next step, to move to the next level, to create something new by building upon what has already been accomplished. Looking back through the pages of the last 18 years of Westlake Magazine, it is amazing how our world, our country, our city, our families and even our selves as individuals have changed. Amidst all of the obvious differences, however, there remains a similar constant – 30 WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 the need to create and contribute to a larger community. Westlake Village has a rich history, one that is still being created by each member of collective neighborhoods today. It is the celebration of this ongoing history and the individuals contributing to that legacy that Westlake Magazine honors each issue. Please enjoy a look back through time as we prepare a successful launch forward into the future – the future of Westlake Village as chronicled and honored by Westlake Magazine.

Homes fill with aromas of turkeys and pies baking in the oven while football fans scope out their favorite spot around the TV for that all-important game. A week or so later, holiday lights begin hanging from eaves, mechanical reindeer light up front yards, and gifts start accumulating beneath scented or artificial pines sparkling with twinkling lights and shiny ornaments. It’s a wonderful season of celebration, albeit sometimes stressful. It’s also a time when many families gather their generations and head for holiday getaways where the festivities can be enjoyed in new surroundings while others do all the preparation. Thanksgiving dinners are on the menu in many foreign hotels. A decorated Christmas or Hanukkah tree can be waiting for you in your room. A visit from Santa can be arranged. Yes, exciting options for creating holiday memories await you and yours in storybook settings around the world. To jump-start your imagination, we’ve selected a few ideas beginning with a Thanksgiving feast and week of shopping in Paris; a New Year’s carnival in South Africa that rivals our New Orleans Mardi Gras; sleigh rides, ice skating, and hot cocoa while caroling around the piano; a candlelight tour of Jefferson’s beloved Monticello bedecked in holiday décor; or welcoming a water-skiing Santa ashore on a sunny Caribbean beach. And if you’re looking for something closer to home, we’ve got a great getaway down San Diego way. WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 37 Thanksgiving in the City of Lights Hôtel Le Bristol in Paris is offering a special Thanksgiving package throughout November. Paris is a great city to visit any time of the year. In late November, you sit inside, not outside the sidewalk cafés. The leaves have left the trees. A crispness in the air captures your breath as you stroll the streets enticed by shop windows artistically adorned for the holidays. The tourists are gone. This is Parisian’s Paris and a great time to explore boutiques, shops, galleries and, of course, enjoy some of the world’s finest dining. It’s also the perfect time to shop, especially if the dollar continues to hold against the euro (around $1.20 as of press time). Le Bristol is one of those legendary hotels that has played a leading role in the glamour of Paris since opening during the height of Roaring 20s. Celebrating Josephine Baker, Sydney Bechet, the Charleston and carefree joie de vivre, the city attracted all the cultural and fashion icons including Rochas, Chanel, Picasso and Dali. On the corner of avenue Matignon and rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, you’re within easy access to virtually every major fashion house in the world. The first Pierre Cardin shop opened in 1954 a few doors down at number 118 with others including Hermes, Larvin, Lacroix attracting such clients as Kim Novak, Rita Hayworth, and Charlie Chaplin. Like nearby Avenue Montaigne, the street remains dedicated to glamour and high fashion. The hotel has continued to expand over the years and in 2007 acquired an adjacent building. Last year, the new wing, Résidence Matignon, was unveiled, offering additional luxury accommodations and an impressive new restaurant, Le 114 Faubourg. As in years past, Hôtel Le Bristol is offering a special Thanksgiving package throughout November. With a minimum stay of two nights, you can request up to three connecting rooms and/or suites and enjoy a Thanksgiving feast in Le 114 Faubourg highlighted by such delectables as pumpkin velouté, turkey supreme with sweet potato mousseline, and apple tart. Other perks are also included. For details, go to www.lebristolparis.com/?q=en#/ The restaurant at the hotel is renowned for its fine cuisine and traditional elegance. The elegant presidential suite at the hotel is furnished with every luxury. 38 WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 The Cape Town Minstrels Carnival rivals our New Orleans Mardi Gras. Micato Safaris includes a gourmet lunch and wine tasting in Cape Winelands. Holiday Safari in South Africa Micato Safaris has a unique luxury adventure for families seeking more than just the traditional bush camp safari during the holiday break. The 11-day program begins with four days in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve at one of Singita’s finest award-winning lodges for some of the best game viewing in Africa. Chances are excellent for spotting elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion, leopard, antelope, and more. A visit from Father Christmas on Christmas Eve is followed by an elaborate Christmas Day barbeque in the bush. Then it’s off for five nights at the charming Cape Grace Hotel on its own private quay in Cape Town’s Victoria & Alfred Waterfront and adjacent to the city’s best shopping and attractions. Excursions include visits to Cape Winelands with a gourmet luncheon and sampling of the varietals and vintages for which the region is known and a full day to Cape Peninsula with a stop at Boulders Beach. Here, as you meander along a protected boardwalk amid a large colony of African Penguins, you see them going about daily life in their natural habitat, squabbling as they march along seemingly aware they are constantly being observed and photographed. You’ll celebrate New Year’s Eve with a picnic dinner and concert featuring renowned musical artists from around the globe at Cape Town’s Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. A dramatic midnight fireworks display and champagne ring in the New Year. One of the most colorful events is the Cape Town Minstrel’s Carnival, which rivals our New Orleans Mardi Gras. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look into the preparations of one of the many minstrel troupes that will march in the spectacular New Year’s Day competition. If you want to join in, you can actually march with a troupe to Greenpoint Stadium where more than 13,000 colorfully-costumed minstrels compete for the title of Best Minstrel Troupe. Founded in 1966 by Jane and Felix Pinto, Micato Safaris is well-known for its personalized, luxury African adventures for the sophisticated traveler. Their programs are not inexpensive, but the experiences are far from ordinary. The company has also won the Travel + Leisure “World’s Best Tour Operator & Safari Outfitter” award for an unprecedented seven years.

Celebrating in Historic Charlottesville Charlottesville, Virginia is pure Jefferson country. Here in the heart of Albemarle County, our charismatic founding father was born, raised, farmed, built his beloved Monticello and established a university that still ranks among the nation’s finest. A countryside of gently rolling hills, zigzagged with signature black fences and backed by Lovely Mountain vistas, creates a picture-perfect backdrop for Clifton Inn, which dates back to the days of Thomas Jefferson’s father. Originally built as a 18th century commercial trading post, the handsome, white-columned clapboard house appears quite modest in comparison to nearby grand estates like Monticello and James Madison’s Montpelier. Meticulously restored by the present owners, Clifton Inn now proudly stands as a luxurious Relais & Châteaux hotel which is also noted for its fine dining. While many of the 18 rooms and suites in the main and outer buildings have fireplaces, each is totally unique. Clifton Inn glistens in the evening countryside. All guest rooms and suites at the Inn are individually decorated. All are individually furnished with American antiques set against the fine prints and strong stripes favored in the days of the Inn’s origins. While the décor may be 18th century, you’ll enjoy all the modern amenities including high-speed wireless internet and Bose sound systems. Just minutes away are the many attractions of downtown Charlottesville as well as dozens of historic sites. During the holiday season, the area sparkles with festivities. If, for example, you are there December 3 - 5, you can attend “A Candlelight Christmas at Montpelier” and walk up the lantern-lit path for a tour of Madison’s candlelit-mansion followed by refreshments and music in the Grand Salon. www.innsatmontpelier.com Clifton Inn also boasts one of the region’s finest dining rooms. Chef Dean Maupin celebrates the local bounty with hearty breakfasts, afternoon teas, sumptuous three- to five-course dinners including, of course, traditional holiday prix-fixe menus with all the fixings. A charming, intimate country hotel with world-class luxury nestled in rolling hills rich in our nation’s history, Clifton Inn makes a great getaway for Thanksgiving or Christmas. www. cliftoninn.net Kayaking is one many water sports available at the Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort during the holidays.

The inspiration of John Spina, owner of John of Italy, Bellini Osteria invites anyone with an appetite for delicious and authentic Italian fare and boutique Italian wines to drop by. Located at 951 S. Westlake Boulevard, this trendy restaurant and lounge combines both an elegant atmosphere with a casual vibe, making it the perfect place to come with your favorite date or group of friends looking to share a great evening.

The extra bonus is the after dinner happy hour on Friday and Saturday nights from 10 to midnight. The intimately lit dining room shares the same lively vibe. Spina, often greets guests entering the restaurant by their first names, a testament to the years he has lived in the community and the number of his satisfied, longtime patrons. “I didn’t want this restaurant to disappoint in any way because these people are my friends,” he says. 48 WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 For those who prefer a more tranquil dining experience, the beautiful patio provides the perfect setting to linger over dinner and drinks and good conversation. Spina had wanted to open a restaurant in Westlake and, when the Mandevilla property became available, he went full steam ahead, opening Bellini in four months. He previously had a restaurant in Westlake, Ritrovo, and sold it. This presented the opportunity to get back into a business he enjoyed and to bring to appreciative diners the tastes of Italy and introduce them to small boutique wineries, particularly some Italian ones. The wait staff has been meticulously trained to anticipate diners’ needs, speak knowledgeably about menu selections and suggest appropriate wine pairings. The menu is extensive and always offers specials. The food, under the creative guidance of Chef Gianluca Sarti, reflects the authentic Italian roots of the both Sarti and Spina.

WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 49 A Guide to the Mysteries of the Fashion World By Carol Karm Photos by Zac Rupprecht Stella Campbell offers a suggestion to a client. Stella Campbell, co-owner, with husband Bruce, of Westlake’s Sugar and Spice Boutiques, has been interested in fashion since childhood and employed in the field almost as long. “I fell into it,” she said, “starting with designing for my paper dolls. I wasn’t interested in sewing, just design.” Taking this interest one step further, she realized her passion could be the basis for a business venture. T he Campbells started their Westlake business in 1985, opening a boutique called Changes. Located in the Westlake Plaza where Kirk Jewelers and Blue are currently located, Changes was one of a group of stores that the Campbells owned up and down the coast. They sold these stores, changed the name to Sugar and opened in their current location at 982 South Westlake Boulevard. The opening of Spice came later, as the location at 966 South Westlake Boulevard became available, offering the Campbells an opportunity to carry a wider selection of fashion choices to serve more women. “Now here is a cold, hard truth,” Stella Campbell states. “If a woman wants to look her best, it’s going to take work. It doesn’t just happen. People get comfortable with styles and colors, even if the styles or colors don’t suit them. A valuable 50 WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 tool for a woman is one good friend who will be honest with her when she asks, ‘What do you think of this outfit? How does it make me look?’ Now, we know we aren’t going to get that kind of honesty from boyfriends and husbands, and it’s almost as hard to get from a girl friend.” Stella has always maintained that the three most important elements in looking good are color, style and fit. Her hobby over the years has been studying body types to find which wardrobe items and colors suit each woman, according to her natural coloring and body type. The hobby has translated to her employees through extensive training so they too can recognize a customer’s most flattering garment style. This is also true with the issue of choosing appropriate colors for a customer. For the customer, this falls into that “priceless” category; having d choices sophisticate opper. Spice offers erning sh sc di e th r fo someone honestly appraising what really works and looks great. The expensive part of a woman’s shopping behavior is when she buys things that don’t suit her or are unflattering, that end up in the “unwanted” pile in her closet. They don’t coordinate with anything she already owns so they aren’t worn … despite the fact they were a bargain or an upscale designer brand. Most women would admit there is a black hole in their closets filled with “onesies.” “I want to make women look their best, and I can if they are willing to be a little daring and change some preconceived ideas about how they dress. There are wonderful undergarments available now that help women look very sleek in their clothing – a necessary and worthwhile investment that makes all the difference in how a garment fits and looks.” Stella is available to work with a customer to identify her figure type and put together the kind of fashion silhouette that will be most enhancing. “Our job is to take the fashion trends and interpret them for our customers so that they have the current look but in the colors and pieces that are best for them. This makes a customer’s purchase meaningful. With our help they can add pieces to their existing wardrobes to update their look and choose accessories to update any outfit, making it look like a million dollars.” Stella adds, “Any woman who wants to look good has to know her own personal style.” I want to make women look their best, and I can if they are willing to be a little daring and change some preconceived ideas about how they dress. One has only to visit either store to see the tantalizing array of beautiful clothing. Even if you were to go in once a week, you would always see new merchandise and displays. An excellent retail operation doesn’t happen by chance. Stella says wryly, “It is a bit like a chicken farm – you get up with it; it’s with you all day, every day; you go home and worry about it all night long and start again the next day. This is what it takes to be an entrepreneur. I go to market every week to get new items for our stores here and in Calabasas and we do special buys for customers when we can. We re-merchandise the stores every week so they are fresh.” Sugar’s colorful displays tempt customers. Bruce Campbell, a gregarious retail economist, handles all things entrepreneurial, the back rooms and the hiring. The Campbells have six grandchildren for whom they babysit, take out to eat, take for rides on their boat and spoil in any way that they can. “The grandchildren are our treat and we take them traveling when we can. We are so busy with the stores so our two great pleasures are the family and the Yacht Club. We love the people and the events there and it is a great way to relax.” WM WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 51 NOT JUST ANOTHER RISING STAR Dress: BCBG 52 WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 Photography By Kevin Foley WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 53 Actress Moran Atias models the hottest fall designer fashions for Westlake Magazine’s celebrity photographer Kevin Foley at the Amazing Lobo Castle in Agoura Hills, California. By Rebecca Gray Grossman ormer Dolce Gabbana model, Moran Atias recently wrapped the feature film, The Next Three Days opposite Elizabeth Banks and Russell Crowe. She is best known for her work on Crash, the TV spin off of the Oscar winning film about racial tensions in Los Angeles. Born in Israel, Moran knew at an early age she wanted to be an actress after taking part in acting classes. Her first TV appearance was in the Israel youth show Out of Focus. At the age of 17, she moved to Germany to start modeling, quickly relocating to Italy to continue the profession. However, this young actress and model appears to have been blown by the winds of her destiny in a number of directions. Moran, fluent in five languages, currently resides in Los Angeles and is actively involved in disaster relief and raising awareness for Haiti. She flew to Haiti twice in 2010 and assisted in saving 29 lives. “Visiting Haiti, as well as meeting and working alongside actor Sean Penn while addressing the tremendous needs in Haiti was a life changing experience” said Moran who is also a ISRAAID Good will Ambassador and an ambassador of APJ – Artists for Peace and Justice. Moran, a stunning and talented young woman will, no doubt, rise quickly as an actress, however, more importantly, be known for her kind heart and passion to help those in need. 54 WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 Tux Jacket and Hat: Ella Zahlan Sequence Skirt: BCBG Opposite Black top and skirt: Grai Shoes: Talent’s own Dolce Gabbana Cuff: Miles Mcneel WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 55 Dress: Petro Zillia (www.petrozillia.com) Hat: Arturo Rios (www.arturorios.com) Opposite Dress: Talent’s own Dolce Gabbana 56 WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 57 Black Dress and Shoes: BCBG Stylists own Hermes bracelet Opposite Dress: Leila Hafzi, Style Yasmin Special order at www.leila-hafzi.com Ring: Miles Mcneel 58 WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 Photography: Kevin Foley | www.FoleyPhoto.com Makeup: Christa Foley | www.ChristaFoley.com Hair: Michael Kanyon for Redken/celestineagency.com Styling: Vanessa Shokrian for celestinetalent.com Location: www.LoboCastle.com WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 59 DESIGNER: BILLY REID PHOTO BY: JEFFREY CLARK GROSSMAN WWW.JEFFREYCLARK.INFO 60 WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 DESIGNER: BILLY REID PHOTO BY: JEFFREY CLARK GROSSMAN WWW.JEFFREYCLARK.INFO WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 61 DESIGNER: ANDREW BUCKLER PHOTO BY: JEFFREY CLARK GROSSMAN WWW.JEFFREYCLARK.INFO 62 WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 DESIGNER: ANDREW BUCKLER PHOTO BY: JEFFREY CLARK GROSSMAN WWW.JEFFREYCLARK.INFO WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | MAR/APR | 2010 63 Simply the Best!

A self-made man, Hugh Cassar was born and raised in the Republic of Malta, Europe’s smallest island country situated in the Mediterranean. His family migrated to Toronto, Canada when he was 15 He graduated from University of Toronto at the age of 29 and by then he already had three children and had been married for nearly 10 years. 68 WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 fter graduation he left Toronto for San Francisco in search of more opportunities. Along the way, he became an expert in hospital administration and was brought on to Cedar Sinai in Beverly Hills to manage the hospital in a business-like fashion. From there he was recruited to help build and manage Los Robles Hospital, which he did for four years prior to the sale of that hospital to HCA. For many years he traveled all over the world managing hospitals in different countries. Hugh’s entrepreneurial streak led him to different industries until he eventually launched what is now a successful international business headquartered in Moorpark, California in 1983. When he’s not running his ever-evolving business, he is enjoying the company of his six children, 11 grandchildren, four birds and two dogs. For the past decade The Cassars have hosted a charity golf tournament to benefit different local and national nonprofits including Make a Wish Foundation, American Red Cross, Special Olympics, Casa Pacifica and most recently Senior Concerns. They created this tournament with the vision to not only give back to the community but to encourage others to do the same. They believe that this tournament has inspired others to become more charitable, and they apparently have a lot of fun doing it. Vendors and suppliers who do business with their company sponsor the tournaments and golf alongside members of the community for a fabulous afternoon of golf, good food and great camaraderie. This has become such a sought after event that they actually had to turn people away this year. According to Hugh, what started out with small sponsorships of one or two holes of golf has snowballed into entire 18-hole sponsorship with people flying in from all over the country to participate in this twoday golf extravaganza. The Cassars have a beautiful ranch in Hidden Valley, the interior of which is entirely designed by Keets herself who has an incredible eye for design. She has put this talent to good use and has won the Angels of the Alliance table decorating contest in the professional category three years in a row. Hugh and Keets take pleasure in sharing their home with the community, opening it up to various charitable organizations; most recently the New West Symphony’s “The Pleasure of Your Company” event, which was dubbed “the best one ever.” Theirs is still the most talked about home on the holiday home tour organized by the Wellness Community Valley/Ventura. For three years in a row Hugh and Keets hosted Casa Pacifica’s Angel’s Ball. Keets currently serves on the Executive Committee of Casa Pacifica, where she has also served as Board Member for the past two years, and is current Chairperson of the Programs and Oversight Committee; she serves on the advisory board of Senior Concerns. They have also sponsored the Casa Pacifica Angels 18th Annual Wine & Food Festival. Their community mindedness doesn’t end there. “It amazes me that the Wellness Community uses only 13% of their budget for administration, the rest goes directly towards client services. Now that’s impressive!” said Keets. They have contributed to Wellness Community’s new Garden of Hope and most recently made a generous contribution to the Alliance for the Arts. They are also supporters of UCLA Medical Center. The Cassars say that even though their business has been affected by this economic downturn, their charitable contributions have probably more than doubled or even tripled. “When you real- ize how many people are impacted by this economy, you realize how fortunate you are. You feel like you have to give back to the community, you absolutely must!” said Hugh. Their commitment to contribute their money as well as their time and talent is evident in all that they do for the local nonprofits. “Our focus these past few years has definitely turned toward our local charities…” said Keets. “We feel it is our responsibility and that of others who have the means to support charities that function on shoe-string budgets with a dedicated staff of underpaid, overworked people. These nonprofits are providing services to those in need and we must support them and help them do the best job they can.” Another reason the Cassars like to contribute to local charities is because they can witness the impact of their contributions. They can see the way it is helping the charities directly change peoples’ lives. “It amazes me that the Wellness Community uses only 13% of their budget for administration, the rest goes directly towards client services. Now that’s impressive!” said Keets. The Cassars were introduced to most of the charities they currently support through friends they know and trust and now they’re paying it forward. They believe you should be able to recommend your favorite charities in the same way you would refer a good restaurant or movie to a friend. This is a great way to expose charities to people who otherwise would not know of them or may not be inclined to give. It’s no secret that word of mouth referrals from people who care about the mission and cause of a nonprofit is the most powerful form of advertising, as well as the most effective form of fundraising. “We know that what we do is just the tip of the iceberg, but it takes many drops to make an ocean and if we band together as a community and make a commitment to support these charities, they can continue to provide services to those that need them the most,” said Keets, “then we can continue to be proud to live in this little piece of heaven that we are all so blessed to call home. “ WM WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 69 S E LV I N PROPERTIES 70 WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 Regional Art Museum | By John Millrany Art aficionados along the Highway 101 Corridor are beaming with pleasure now that official sanctions have paved the way for the area’s first and only Regional Art Museum. After several years of brainstorming, organizing and planning, RAM’s movers and shakers have assumed the attitude: “Let’s get this done!” F or these RAM acolytes, “Are we having fun yet?” can appropriately segue to “Now the fun begins,” for to say their work has just begun isn’t at all hyperbolic. The green-light moment occurred June 23 when the Thousand Oaks City Council voted 5-0 to “approve in concept a regional fine arts museum to be located in downtown Thousand Oaks on city-owned or provided land.” Voila! Fait accompli on a more than tepid topic that has long stirred many passions among the regional art community. “This (council approval) gives us the foundation needed to publicize and solicit donors for the building,” says enthused Diana Malmquist, RAM vice president and spokeswoman. She and other RAM compatriots went next door from the Civic Center to celebrate at the Claim Jumper restaurant. “This dream is really happening!” was a thematic element in the celebration. RAM History One of the most respected community agencies in a region justifiably proud of its community lay leadership is the Conejo/Las Virgenes Future Foundation. In 2008 CLVFF recognized the proverbial elephant in the room and took on a project soon known as RAM. First order of business was to form a task force to investigate the need. Beginning with telephone interviews of local arts organizations, the need for a RAM was duly noted. The CLVFF committee continued with an outline questionnaire sent to artists, community leaders and politicians and other interested citizens. Data collected from the surveys reflected a strong interest for an art museum in the 101 corridor that bifurcates the cities of Calabasas, Agoura Hills Westlake Village and Thousand Oaks. Next up was a conference hosted by CLVFF to discuss housing for the visual arts with the early responders and other interested par- ties. The 65 participants were nearly unanimous in their agreement that a rigorously designed regional art museum was needed to move the project forward. An executive task force was constituted and Frank Schillo, former Ventura County supervisor and ex-Thousand Oaks city councilman, was appointed chairman. In 2009 architect Francisco Behr, AIA, of Behr Bowers Architects, was recruited by Chairman Schillo to assist in search for a RAM location and produce an analysis of the physical needs for such a facility. Events clicked steadily as the Thousand Oaks City Council responded favorably at Schillo’s request to establish a goal for 2009-2010 to assist in the project’s development. At its March 24, 2009 meeting the council approved an art museum as a “top priority” for 20102011, acknowledging the need for a permanent location for the visual arts and pledged to participate in its fulfillment. Schillo and Behr met with WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 71 Mission Statement representatives of the adjoining 101 corridor. Agoura Hills City Manager Greg Ramirez and Mayor William Koehler indicated their support of the museum and requested a presentation to their city council. Calabasas City Manager Tony Coroalles met with Schillo and expressed interest in meeting with other supportive cities. Westlake Village City Manager Ray Taylor and Mayor Mark Rutherford also indicated their enthusiasm for the nonprofit RAM. As a formality, “The name REGIONAL ART MUSEUM, an initiative of the Conejo/Las Virgenes Future Foundation” was selected by the task force to identify the project. Subsequent meetings early in 2010 with Thousand Oaks City Manager Scott Mitnick, Mayor Dennis Gillette and other council members revealed city interest in locating RAM adjacent to the Performing Arts Center at the Civic Arts Plaza, prompting a RAM spokesperson to comment: “This positive step supporting the project is an inspiration to continue our project.” Architect Behr studied the proposed location at the corner of Thousand Oaks Boulevard and Dallas Drive and produced a number of conceptual drawings of the 72 WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 visual arts facility. Meanwhile, a pastiche of committees continued to form including Marketing, Education, Events, Membership, Website, Public Relations, Finance, Theme Timeline (long-term scheduling) and Case and Feasibility. The task force mapped out four principal methodologies: build public awareness, initiate a membership drive, schedule events and prepare for fundraising. The all-important issue of seed money for initial expenses was accomplished with a generous donation from Michael Lee, local art patron and RAM board member. Another committee member, Chair Richard T. Johnson, created the well-received RAM Progress Report, a full-color brochure detailing the project and nicknamed “A prestigious art museum…in our community!” “The vision of RAM is to become a vital cultural resource for the City of Thousand Oaks, its neighboring communities and visitors to our region. RAM will exhibit the traditional visual arts as we know and understand them (genres, styles and materials used) and expand to those new exhibits that include new techniques—contemporary and futuristic—to include video, digital, website and electronic art and other forms yet to be developed. “RAM will build its collections; recruit donors to build and support the museum; and with a professional curator—and partnering with other art museums—train docents to share knowledge about the exhibits with the public. Educational programs will be developed in cooperation with the local school districts and universities to support cultural and art studies and elementary, middle, high school and university students. Adult education programs will be diversified in scope. “In planning its exhibits, RAM will be responsive to community needs and interests. For more than 15 years, the region has enjoyed and supported world-class performances at the Civic Arts Plaza. The RAM located adjacent to the Civic Arts Plaza Theaters will offer enjoyment and appreciation of the visual arts.” Design Concept At first blush, the architectural challenge took on Architecture 101. Let’s say, 25,000 to 30,000 square feet. If you get the nod to cozy it up to the Civic Arts Plaza, you could go for three levels plus an accessible roof deck punctuated with a sculpture garden. Here’s how it could look: LEVEL ONE – The main lobby and entrance facing Thousand Oaks Boulevard. An adjacent gift shop, multimedia art theater, administrative and security offices and RAM cantilevers over Dallas Drive and Plaza landscape with supportive walls of dynamic angles that compliment the Civic Arts Plaza structure. Use of color glass tiles decorate the exterior of the upper story. LEVEL TWO – Starting with stairs and elevators, the building is curved to embrace an entrance court featuring a foundation and small outdoor amphitheater. LEVEL THREE – Main gallery with enough area to hold three smaller-size exhibits or a single large one. LEVEL FOUR – Roof deck with garden and event gathering areas designed for fundraising events and special openings. Charter Membership The first annual membership drive is being planned to build participation in RAM with charter members from Newbury Park to Calabasas. The new visual arts building will house paintings, sculptures, traveling exhibitions and offer educational opportunities for students of all ages. A variety of membership levels are offered with benefits tailored to each. Individual Memberships at $50 will receive a newsletter and e-mail updates of all scheduled events and news of progress on the museum building. Free admission to sponsored exhibitions and openings, and discount on classes, workshops and events are included. Family memberships at $60 will receive the previous benefits and a second membership card for a spouse or second adult in the family. Children under 18 will be admitted free. For $100 as Sustaining Membership will provide all the benefits of the previous levels, plus free admission to exhibits and lectures for two guests. Patron Membership at $150 will add the benefit of reciprocal membership discounts and admissions to other facilities including the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, along with contemporary museum publications.

So what’s so different about Halloween? F or me, Halloween night most always begins the same way. First of the troops are the youngest “trick or treaters.” Their parents or nannies (who also feel the need to dress in costume), typically accompany them and are not one bit shy to grab for the candy. I’m so tempted to say “this isn’t for you.” The little girls are inevitably fairy princesses, and the little boys, pirates or dragon slayers. The parents, however, don rubber werewolf masks or worse, rubber Obama masks. I don’t know why they think they’re so funny. Next come the hoards of pre-teens girls. We never dressed like this. Their costumes vary from black fishnet hosiery underneath playboy bunny outfits, or black slinky dresses and long black wigs, ala Elvira, and I don’t want to forget to mention the five-inch stilettos (Ouch!). The final group of teen boys, who usually show up at the end of the evening, seem to love wearing horrifying rubber masks of frighteningly authentic mutilated skulls. (A little too authentic for me.) Some of the boys dress like rappers, with pants that are falling off their teen age “booties.” As a matter of fact, I had the displeasure of viewing the “cracks” of some not-so-appealing behinds. The not-so-funny thing is that these guys dress like this everyday. Therefore, I don’t consider this a costume. I shouldn’t have even doled out candy to them if they couldn’t have come up with something more original like a pinstriped suit and tie. And talk about nerve… this same group actually refused to take my candy because I was out of Reese’s Peanut 76 WESTLAKE MAGAZINE | SEPT/OCT | 2010 Butter Cups. Can you imagine??? Well, he didn’t have to like my candy, because I didn’t like his costume but, HELLO, a simple thank you after pilfering the entire bowl of candy and then flashing me his tukas as he traipsed off into the dark shadows of the night, would have been nice. Maybe I was a weird kid because, as opposed to other kids, I didn’t like Halloween. I felt utterly ridiculous dressing in costume. In those days we didn’t have costume stores. You had to creatively come up with your own. For Halloween parties, my mother always dressed me as a gypsy; tons of jewelry, a peasant blouse, a flared cotton skirt and way too much lipstick. I looked as silly as I felt. I hated that costume. The next time I went to a Halloween party was thirty years later. I knew I wasn’t going dressed as a gypsy. Maybe I could come up with something more inventive. Aha! I knew just what I was going to wear. I borrowed a Girl Scout uniform, stuck a pillow in it, and went as a pregnant Girl Scout. I thought I was a winner, but alas, I only won fourth prize. The third prize was won by a portly man (…actually obese), who dressed as baby, wore a diaper and sucked on a pacifier. Second prize went to the girl who dressed as a Hassidic Rabbi. I suppose after myself, I would have voted her the winner. She was, after all, original. However, to my chagrin, and dressed in a colorful flared skirt, peasant blouse, golden earrings to her shoulders, ten necklaces, eight bracelets on each arm, and a banded scarf around her forehead, the winner was…. The gypsy! Now I ask you, what are the odds? WM A N OT E F R O M T H E F O U N D E R . . . Let All Who Are Discouraged Take Heart By M. Dayle Thomas hat is the greatest loss we deal with in our broken world? Is it lost job? A shaky marriage? A serious illness or loss of a loved one? No, it is none of these. It is the loss of hope; the quality that lifts up a troubled heart. Life is filled with tough times that can leave us feeling feeble and helpless. But hope can help us triumph over pain, uncertainty and fear. Hope gives us an inner strength to hold on when we feel like giving up. It helps us to believe there will be another job and another house. It gives us comfort and courage to handle grief and loss. One of life’s toughest assignments is to re-ignite the hope that has become dim and fractured. As in most re-launch efforts, the hardest step is the first one. Here are three ways to help you get started. • Take A Journey back in time in your life experiences and recall the ways that hope walked you through the hard times. Knowing this has worked for you in the past gives you courage to believe it can work yet again. • Hope requires faith in someone to make it real to you. It is my opinion that your Creator, the one who designed you special and unique from all others, knows the pit falls and celebrations you will encounter in the future. With God as your “forever guide,” your eyes and imagination will be opened. Then, when you see a beautiful apple you are able to imagine an orchard. An acorn will eventually be a spectacular oak tree. Don’t you already feel empowered knowing your personal life guide made it all? • Keep your focus on what you have in life rather than what you don’t. You have feet to take you where you need to go. You have eyes to see a sunset in glow. You have ears to hear what you need to know. You are surely blessed and hope is in store to light your way. Congratulations. You can now be on your way to reclaim your lost hope. You do not need to be discouraged. God Bless, P.S. Those who are familiar with the Bible will recognize the title of this article as a statement taken directly from the Psalms in the Old Testament.

I am proud to join Ventura County civic leaders in endorsing Meg Whitman for Governor and Tony Strickland for Controller. I endorse Meg Whitman because I feel that she has the best plan to address California's greatest challenges and the ability to get it done. Ventura County has suffered greatly in the last few years and I cannot stand by and watch another client, friend or neighbor shoulder the devastating burden this economy has dealt them because their employer has decided to move their company out of state, or they have lost their job to the extensive layoffs, or because they cannot support their household due to the dire financial difficulty affecting their small businesses. Meg Whitman states, "I'm tired of losing pioneering California companies such as Northrop Grumman to other states. I've been a Fortune 500 CEO and I know how to get business to stay here or move to California. My administration is going to listen to their concerns, align our policies to make them more competitive and aggressively recruit their counterparts in other states to bring their goodpaying jobs here.” When former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice announced her endorsement of Meg Whitman, she called her a “proven leader” who will do what’s necessary to get California back on track. “California is my home and there is only one person running for governor who can lead the way toward rebuilding our state," Rice said. She “is a proven leader who developed a small start-up company into a global economic powerhouse and encouraged entrepreneurialism at all levels of society. Meg will do what is needed to get California back on track." In Meg's words: "I want to build A New California, a state that will reward hard work and entrepreneurship, a state that has the best schools in the nation, the smartest government, and above else, the highest quality of life in the world.” I wouldn't want to stake my future on anyone else, would you?

CA DRE # 00545184 Paid Advertisement Meg Whitman and Tony Strickland The office of controller has the power to audit every phase of state government and to expose government waste at every turn. Indeed, John Chiang’s office knew or should have known of the Bell, California spending scandal and did nothing about it. Tony Strickland is the ideal candidate to win the office of Controller. As an Assembly member, Tony Strickland sued then Governor Gray Davis because Davis refused to disclose the details of the awful energy deals he signed. Those terrible deals were costing Californians billions and until Strickland stood alone – Davis was getting away with it. Strickland won his lawsuit, forced disclosure of contracts, and with that you can trace not only the end of those rip-off Enron energy contracts but also the end of Gray Davis’ political career. California desperately needs a Controller like that today as opposed to John Chaing who is resisting government reform at every turn. Simply stated, Meg Whitman understands that the key to changing the national dialogue from how to feed government to making government accountable to the money it already has is to open the vault of the Controller’s offices around the Country and especially in California where waste occurs on a grand scale. That effort must start with the election of Tony Strickland for California State Controller. I applaud Meg’s choice and endorse Tony Strickland.
