Still going Strong after 86 years, the redlands Bowl Summer Music Festival is once again bringing classical music, opera

and dance to the inland Empire this summer.“it feels so wonderful to be at the Bowl,” said

program director Marsha gebara. “there’s something for everyone, from the opening to closing performances.”

the redlands Bowl Summer Music Festival, organized by the nonprofit redlands Community Music Association, was started in 1923 by grace Stewart Mullen. She wanted to give residents the opportunity to come to a venue without paying high ticket prices.

“Music is for everyone, and that was the dream of Mrs. Mullen,” said Jeff Waldron, president of the redlands Community Music Association. “Come to the redlands Bowl and for no admission charge hear world class music that you would pay dearly for to listen to in new York or los Angeles or San Francisco. World class musicians love to come here because there is no venue like it.”

Among this year’s highlights:• Redlands Symphony Orchestra led by

Maestro Frank Paul Fetta celebrating the 200th birthdays of Abraham lincoln and Felix Mendelssohn

Josh Chandra has been living and

breathing Bach, Brahms and debussy.

“I’ve been dismantling every measure,

and focusing on aspects of the pieces that

I have trouble with — such as fingering

of passages, smoothness of line and

synchronization of the hands,” the 18-year-old

piano player from riverside said. “hundreds of

hours lie behind a few minutes of performing.”

Chandra is one of seven winners of the

redlands Community Music association’s

Young artists competition.

Each spring, dozens of area instrumental

and vocal musicians audition to win a

scholarship and a coveted performance slot

during the Young artists concert held every

summer at the redlands Bowl. This year,

the concert is at 8:15 p.m. June 30.

The first Young artist competition was held

in 1952, with the intent to “nurture and

showcase young talent,” redlands Community

Music association Executive director Beverly

noerr said.

The competition is divided into four groups:

junior piano and instrumental (up to age 18),

junior voice (18 to 23), senior piano and

instrumental (19 to 26) and senior voice

(24 to 30). Junior winners receive a $500

scholarship, while seniors $1,000.

“It’s a good opportunity to receive a

scholarship and exposure through an

established program,” noerr said.

While the winners all plan to use the

scholarship money to continue musical

training, some also are looking to broaden

their horizons.

“When I get to college, I’m thinking of

having a double major,” said nicolas andres

Belliard, 11, of Loma Linda. “Music and

aeronautical engineering.”

profile | bill hatfield

By KEVIN TRUDGEON

It may seem like Bill Hatfield has

come to a crossroads in his life.

the owner of Hatfield Buick/GmC,

believed to be the oldest family-owned

Buick dealership in the United states,

has watched a downturn in the

economy threaten the future of his

96-year-old business.

after receiving a letter announcing that

General motors would terminate its

franchise agreement in October 2010 and

then watching Gm file for Chapter 11

bankruptcy just weeks later, the future

is uncertain, at best, for Hatfield.

tack on a possible need to change the

way he does business in order to survive in

a struggling economy and it would appear

that Hatfield has some choices to make.

But asked if he was worried about the

future, Hatfield showed the kind of

resiliency that his father, uncle and

grandfather would admire.

“that’s an interesting question. I can’t

say I’ve really ever thought of it in those

terms,” Hatfield said. “No, I wouldn’t say

I’m worried. I think I know what’s to come.

We plan on staying in business.”

“We may not be positive what

the exact form of it will be, but you know,

we’re part of Redlands. We like Redlands.

I don’t see us really going anyplace.”

It is the answer that anyone who knows

him or his family’s history would expect.

For Hatfield, Redlands is the place. and

for Redlands, Hatfield is the name of a man

who cares about his community. and it is

that special connection with his hometown

that makes the recent struggles even

more difficult to handle.

“I think part of what’s hard in this whole

thing is that I feel like I’m letting people

down by somehow letting this happen,”

Hatfield said. “and that’s tough. Because

I do have people who depend on us to take

care of their cars.

“But that’s also one of the reasons that

I’m so adamant that we’re going to stay in

business. We might have to reinvent

ourselves, but we’re going to make the

most of it.”

and that is

what Hatfield

has done all of

his life. From

sweeping

floors and

hand-washing

cars when

his father and uncle ran the dealership,

to being involved in numerous charities

around Redlands, Hatfield is not a man

to stand around and watch things happen;

he makes things happen.

the former Redlands Chamber of

Commerce man of the year in 2003 has

served as president of the Redlands ymCa

for two years and has been a member of

the board of trustees for a.K. smiley

Library. Hatfield also is a Rotarian and was

a charter member of the Redlands

Community Foundation.

yet even with his wide number of

interests in the area, the thought of leaving

or retiring from his family’s dealership is

one of the last things on his mind.

“In my family, there’s not a good history

of people retiring,” Hatfield said. “We had

to practically haul my father and uncle out

of here. and my grandfather was the same

way. after awhile, your job or what you do

becomes who you are in your head. and

that’s really true with me.”

and Hatfield doesn’t plan to change his

day-to-day routine.

“We’re probably going to have to go into

selling more used cars, but we’ll keep the

service department open so we can

continue to take care of people,” Hatfield

said. “It’s where we’re headed. But

we’re going to make the most of

it. We don’t know exactly what

General motors is going to do,

but in the meantime, we

have

to go on.”

Still drivenHatfield loves Redlands, plans to reinvent dealership

IN A CITY known for

embracing its past, the

Redlands Conservancy

is leading the way by

preserving historic buildings

and ensuring open space

remains undeveloped for

generations to come.

A nonprofit organization,

the Redlands Conservancy was

started in 1994 by a “group

of people who were mostly

concerned with preserving

historic downtown,” according

to Executive Director Sherli

Leonard. The group is still

working with business owners,

such as those on East State

Street, to reuse buildings or to

restore them to past grandeur.

“We’re working with the

redevelopment agency to

preserve the downtown

facades on historical

buildings,” Leonard said.

“Most of the original facades

are still there, but they’ve been

covered with stucco and

allegedly improved.”

The Redlands Conservancy

directs two major initiatives:

the Historic Preservation

Program and the Land Trust

Program. The former saves

buildings and houses that

benefit their neighborhood by

maintaining the historical

integrity of the area; the latter

works to preserve and enhance

the natural assets and areas in

and around Redlands.

“We’ve managed to save

many buildings like the Barton

House and the Mitten

Building,” Leonard said. “We

didn’t do the Barton House

restoration, but we kept the

city from tearing it down.”

The Conservancy is focusing

on three projects: relocating

and restoring the Barton

School House, restoring

a small wetlands area near

San Timoteo Creek and

acquiring property in

San Timoteo Canyon.

“We’re moving the school

house to property owned by

the city about a mile away from

its current site,” Leonard said.

“They’d like to call the land

Heritage Park. The concept is

planned but hasn’t been

realized, and this will be the

first real piece of it.”

Buying the property in the

canyon also is in the

development stages.

“We’re working with city

and county to purchase 270

acres,” she said. “We need quite

a bit of money for that. We’re

exploring it, and it’s moved

along a little farther than it had

been, which is good news.”

The Conservancy also

reaches out to the community

through educational resources

and popular programs, such as

Trails at 10.

“We’ve done six seasons of

Trails at 10, starting in the fall

of 2006,” Leonard said. “It’s

free, and involves us taking

people to different trails in the area and

talking about where we are. The first one

we did this year was the new creekside

trail overlooking San Timoteo Canyon, and

we handed out a booklet on the history of

the canyon. The second trail was an urban

one, so we spoke about the historical

homes that they passed.”

Funds for the Conservancy’s programs

are collected through annual fundraisers

and membership drives. Parties for the

Emerald Necklace Program — six small

gatherings, ranging from an art lesson

and lunch to stargazing with wine —

was launched this year, with funds

going toward maintaining green spaces

surrounding Redlands.

By KEVIN TRUDGEON

Chelsea GilliGan is a beauty pageant newcomer,

but she has certainly made up for lost time.

The 18-year-old — who entered her

first competition two years ago — is the reigning

Miss California Teen Usa, and will represent the Golden

state in the Miss Teen Usa national competition this summer.

“i didn’t know what i was doing,” said Gilligan about that

first Teen Usa experience. “i had never put on stage makeup

before in my life, and i never knew about the whole

hairspray pageant hair.”

But she surprised herself with a first runner-up finish.

“it was amazing,” said Gilligan, who grew up in huntington

Beach and now lives in Beaumont with her family. “i wanted

to come back more polished, so i practiced constantly.”

That dedication paid off with the Miss Teen crown.

Besides her success in the pageant world, the graduate

of Packinghouse Christian academy in Redlands also has

been organizing gospel tours to raise money for wheelchairs

— a mission she adopted after her mother was diagnosed

with multiple sclerosis two years ago.

“We’ve raised thousands of dollars for power chairs and

have given them to people who need mobility,” said Gilligan,

who also helps feed the homeless and talks to young girls

about the importance of believing that they can achieve

anything they put their minds to.

“i tell them that they’re princesses in their own right

and that they have to believe in themselves,” she said.

That’s advice Gilligan has followed, and she can’t believe

where it has taken her.

“if you had told me that this is where i would be, i would

have said you were crazy,” she said. “i used to get made fun

of in school as being the ugly person. i had big, thick glasses

and spongeBob buck teeth. and now i’m Miss California

Teen Usa, and i’m doing professional photos shoots

in the park. it’s amazing.”

WESTERN UNIVERSITYOF HEALTH SCIENCES

Imagine having pain in your foot. You receive care from your family physician, a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, who then refers you to a podiatrist. You also receive help from a physical therapist and a pharmacist. Everyone on your health care team talks to each other about your unique health needs, providing comprehensive services.

Western University of Health Sciences wants to make this a reality. And the Pomona, Calif. institution is undergoing the largest expansion project in its 32-year history to accomplish this goal, guided by its Ten-Year Strategic Plan.

Western University of Health Sciences is a thriving center for medical, health care and veterinary education, as well as research and community outreach. Chartered 32 years ago on the foundation of educating health care professionals to be skillful and compassionate, the university has grown to successfully incorporate five colleges: the College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific (COMP, 1977), the College of Allied Health Professions (1996), the College of Pharmacy (1996), the College of Graduate Nursing (1997) and the College of Veterinary Medicine (2003).

With the success of these five professional colleges, the university is poised to move into the future in an unprecedented and visionary way, with four new colleges opening within the next year. The College of Dental Medicine, the College of Optometry and the College of Podiatric Medicine will welcome their first students in fall 2009. The Graduate College of Biomedical Sciences will begin admitting students in 2010, further positioning WesternU to comprehensively and successfully meet the diverse health-related needs of a growing population in the West.

The next step is to weave all of these health professions together through the Interprofessional Education (IPE) curriculum. Students from all disciplines will work together in the classroom and the examination room, learning about each other’s strengths and areas of expertise. By understanding and appreciating other health professionals’ roles, WesternU students will be able to better serve their patients.

“We anticipate that the curriculum we will produce will revolutionize medical education in this country and break down the silos that characterize so many health professions campuses today,” said WesternU President Philip Pumerantz, PhD. “In this curriculum, students from many disciplines will learn together in the classroom, in small group venues, and in clinical experiences with patients.”

The Strategic Plan’s emphasis on campus expansion is well underway with the opening of the Banfield Veterinary Clinical Center in summer 2008.

Construction is underway on the Health Education Center (HEC) and the Patient Care Center (PCC). The Health Education Center will be the new home of COMP, the College of Dental Medicine, the College of Optometry and the College of Podiatric Medicine. Also under construction is the Patient Care Center, which will combine educational programs and optimal patient care in an environment where students from all disciplines will gain an understanding and appreciation for other health professionals. The buildings are expected to be completed in 2010.

WesternU also is serving the health care needs of the Inland Empire with the Western University Milliken Family Medical Office at 8112 Milliken Ave., Suite 101-2 in Rancho Cucamonga. Clinic staff believe high-quality care starts with skilled, caring professionals working together to meet patients’ health-care needs, and hope to forge lifetime partnerships between the patients and WesternU’s health-care professionals.

The university contributes to the community in many ways. Students and faculty regularly donate their time and expertise at health fairs throughout the area. The university has also partnered with Pomona Unified School District and California State Polytechnic University, Pomona to create the Pomona Health Career Ladder.

The Career Ladder will identify math and science scholars in Pomona schools, then guide them through an undergraduate health/science degree at Cal Poly Pomona and into health professions programs at WesternU through a program-based network of outreach, guidance, mentoring and financial assistance. Six Saturday sessions were held in the 2008-09 academic year for sixth-graders interested in the health professions, and the response from students and parents was overwhelmingly positive.

Regardless of how large WesternU becomes, the faculty, administration and students will not lose sight of the reasons they are here. Since its founding, WesternU has built a rich tradition of academic excellence, patient-centered education, lifelong learning and professional leadership.

When a student examines a tissue sample under a microscope, that represents a human being, Pumerantz said.

“That’s a person who has a family,” he said. “When you’re here in school, you will learn to care for human beings. You’re going to be a people person. That’s the philosophy of this university.”

By BETTS GRIFFONE

The weaThered building that houses

romano’s italian restaurant and Chicago

Pizzeria has enjoyed a varied history.

it’s 121 years old, and for 88 of those years

it was a hardware store. during other incarnations,

it also served as a Chinese laundry, print shop,

bicycle shop and jeweler.

upstairs, there was a boarding house. located

across the street from the train station, travelers

would find lodging there for the night. The front

rooms looked out on Orange Street and likely had

a view of orange groves that stretched for miles.

Most of the buildings on either side date from about

the same period, so there is still the essence of the

early 20th century in that part of downtown redlands.

about five years ago, the building was sold to gary

romano, who owns three successful restaurants in

riverside. using that experience, he spent several

years renovating the redlands landmark to give it yet

another life — as a restaurant.

romano was raised in Chicago, where his uncles

owned restaurants. he grew up hanging around the

kitchens and decided at a young age that he wanted

to open his own place.

romano’s is really two restaurants in one.

downstairs, there are TV screens hanging from the tin

ceiling showing sporting events. a bar lines one wall,

with tables and booths that all have good views of the

screens. it’s a lively atmosphere with a menu to match.

Romano’s entertains with two dining styles under one roof

Upstairs,downstairs

photos by ERic REEd

taste | dining

Romano’s serves stuffed pizza and pies

called “sissy pizza,” plus both thin crust

and deep-dish Chicago style pizza.

Specialty items include Romano rolls,

which are pizza dough rolled up with

spinach, eggplant and mozzarella and

Romano cheeses. They’re topped with

garlic butter and Parmesan cheese.

The menu also has soups and salads,

burgers, hot and cold sandwiches and

an assortment of pasta dishes. It’s

a well-rounded light menu.

When guests wander up the wide

staircase to the second floor, they are

greeted with the soft sounds of Frank

Sinatra, Dean Martin or one many

Italian crooners — and a totally

different atmosphere.

Romano has successfully managed

to keep the feel of the old boarding house

with vintage lighting, wall paper and floor

coverings that reflect the Victorian period

during which it was built.

The main dining room looks out on

Orange Street. Down the central hallway,

doors lead to dining rooms that can

accommodate private parties. Romano likes

to call this upscale, “quaint” dining. It’s

family friendly in a quiet setting. The

lighting is softer, and the menu more

sophisticated. The recipes for many of the

items are attributed to his mother and

other family members.

The interesting selection of pasta dishes

upstairs includes the usual carbonara and

alfredo, and also a fettuccine capricciose

with roasted chicken, prosciutto, basil,

onions and tomatoes in a rose cream sauce;

and penne al gorgonzola with crumbled

gorgonzola cream sauce and pine nuts.

Chicken or shrimp can be added to many

of the pasta dishes for an extra charge.

The fare also includes gnocchi with

sun-dried tomatoes, fresh garlic and basil

sautéed in butter and Parmesan cheese and

a choice of three different risotto plates.

Manicotti and cannelloni dishes as well as

lasagna and eggplant Parmigiana also are

on the menu with eggplant Romano —

eggplant rolled and stuffed with a trio

of cheeses and topped with marinara

and mozzarella.

Fresh fish as well

as mussels, clams,

shrimp and

scallops are on

the menu daily,

as well as a

selection of

veal, steak and

chicken dishes.

All of the sauces, soups, manicotti,

cannelloni and gnocci are made fresh

in the restaurant every day. Chef Manny

Guttierez, who moved from the Romano’s

in Canyon Crest, manages the kitchen,

which has two lines, one to handle the

pizzeria and the other dedicated to the

upstairs dining.

Although the restaurant has been open

only a short time, Romano seems to have

found the right combination for success.

In doing so, he has given new life

to a great old building.

REDLANDS

Graceful beauty, aging and becoming more

lively and active all the time — it may sound

like the plot for the movie “the curious case

of benjamin button,” but one might also assert it’s a part

of redlands’ character.

take the redlands bowl Summer Music festival, now

in its 86th year. this free-to-the-public, family friendly

event is always fresh, featuring young artists, a musical

and tributes to timeless tunes. Or consider the constant

renewal of the wonderful old brick buildings downtown

as they shift from one business to the next. as decades

pass, they remain like rocks in a stream of time.

No less notable is the family business determined

to endure or the activists who work to preserve the past and protect the natural

spaces for generations to come. It’s about values. It’s about people. It’s about

community. that’s redlands.

We hope you enjoy this first issue of redlands Magazine.
