REDLANDS

Fall 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


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.”

Touring the old town

REDLANDS

By JENNIFER M. DOBBS

Like 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.

A Citrograph Extra edition proclaims the incorporation of Redlands on Nov. 27, 1888.

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 Company113 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 Inside the Citrograph Printing Company, circa 1930s. Some of the original equipment remains.

money for scholarships in music,

business and graphic design for

students attending the

University of Redlands.

Inside Citrograph are pieces of

original printing equipment and the

wood plank floor that may have

covered up evidence of drinking

there during Prohibition.

Ed Hales ParkCorner of Fifth and State streets

The soap sign on the side of the

building next to Ed Hales Park was

originally painted between 1894

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.

Joe Greensleeves Restaurant220 Orange St.

The Phinney Block is now home to

Joe Greensleeves Restaurant. Built in

1892, it once housed the original

Redlands Chamber of Commerce,

The Phinney Block, which once housed the Redlands Board of Trade, is now owned by Marina (above) and Umberto Orlando who operate the Joe Greensleeves Restaurant out of the historic building. At left, restored signs painted on brick walls next to Ed Hales Park.

known then as the Redlands Board of Trade.

The University of Redlands used the building

as a headquarters and as classroom space in

1907 before the campus was built.

Old Chamber of Commerce337 Orange St.

The Redlands Board of Trade, later called the

Chamber of Commerce, moved to this building

in 1909. The architecture of the building

matched the Santa Fe Depot next door.

Santa Fe Depot351 Orange St.

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.

Modern Home Relics127 and 129 E. State St.

Fashion Livery Stable and the Allen Wheaton

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 arts | redlands symphony orchestra


The 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!”

Time tofeelmusic

the


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.)

May 15, 2010Jon Robertson, conductor; José Menor, solo piano

Program: Gershwin’s “An American in Paris,” “Concerto in F (piano)” and “Catfish Row (Porgy and Bess)”

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

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.”

The Perfect Marriage ofStyle & Tradition

the arts | musician profile



When 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.

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

In tune with

SaraAndon

Photo by al cuizon


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

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.”

‘Some of my earliest childhood memories are of going to the Redlands Bowl with my mother and father and older sister and brother.’

Fall 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

Pamperingthe

skin is in


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 basicsSuggestions 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.

profile | eric keyser


By JESSE B. GILL

Eric 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

Meet the CandymanPhoto by Jesse b. Gill


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.

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.

our town | pop quiz


Redlands past: Test yourselfWe 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:

Questions

1. What building on the University of Redlands campus was the first one built and is observing its 100th year?

2. What year did the first tourists visit Redlands?

3. What founding anniversary is the Redlands School District observing?

4. What street traffic innovation in Redlands drew mention in the

August 1911 issue of Popular Mechanics?

5. What is the oldest child-care center in California?

6. What revolutionary electrical power innovation began in Redlands?

7. What is the only monument, museum and library built by a private citizen to honor Abraham Lincoln?

Answers

1. The University of Redlands Administration Building, designed by Norman F. Marsh, 1909.

2. A group of visitors in February 1888 arrived on bicycles.

3. Founded on Feb. 5, 1884, the Redlands School District had its beginnings 125 years ago with a small structure on Palm Avenue. It later came to include other school districts and is known today as the Redlands Unified School District.

4. City Engineer George Hinckley’s use of a broad line of aluminum paint

as a center line, which was later made white with a guiding arrow.

5. The Redlands Day Nursery, which was founded in 1906.

6. On Sept. 7, 1893, two three-phase generators of the Redlands Electric Light and Power Company at Mill Creek first produced energy, thus introducing three-phase alternating current. This became the type of electricity destined to become generated virtually everywhere.

7. The Lincoln Memorial Shrine, which was donated by Robert Watchorn and given to the city of Redlands in 1932.
