Fall, and it’s busy again in
Redlands. Men in shiny patent-
leather shoes soon will be
dancing with ladies in long gowns,
savoring the city Fire department’s
first ever ball.
during our work on this issue, we
got to spend time at Fire station no. 1
photographing Redlands Fire Capt.
Chris Randolph and his lovely wife,
sarah, who graciously consented to get
dolled up (and man-handled) under
a photographer’s lights to help promote
the ball and to raise funds for the
purchase of a new ladder truck for
the department.
We had scheduled the shoot for the evening — to avoid the week’s unrelenting
100-plus-degree temperatures — so when we started, the heat of the day had passed.
but fire assistance calls came in from other communities. Randolph didn’t want
to miss the action, but he and his wife stayed on task.
the bosses looked on. Fire Chief Jeff Frazier and his wife, Paula, who did makeup
for the shoot, stood by. also on hand were battalion Chief david Graves, local
photographer Marie bunke, who lent a gown for the photo, and Myra Patterson, who
left some 40-odd Redlands bowl dinner guests at her house to check in and see how
it was going.
dare i say it? that’s just typical Redlands. People getting together, turning out,
joining in for a cause. and it’s not just about the Fire department’s Oct. 22 ball.
you find this same spirit of community when you sit down with Paul ideker,
president and CEO of the Redlands symphony, and Rachel Wade, symphony
operations manger. and just ask people about supporting downtown businesses,
Casa’s Munchin’ at the Mansion (sept. 28) or the believe Walk (Oct. 2).
the image on our index page speaks volumes.
it shows nancy Varner, annie sellas and Cathy stockton, co-founders of Redlands
believe Walk, arm in arm sharing a moment and a vision.
you can’t see their faces. but it’s easy to read the meaning: people with a cause,
committed to each other, committed to making something happen.
to those of you who share a vision of making Redlands a better place, all of you
who start the day thinking of neighbors, survivors, music lovers, children in need
and the seniors at home, thank you. and thank you for acting on your good will
— that’s what makes Redlands special.
in this issue: our friend allan borgen reports in from noodle 21 asian Grill;
we spend time shopping at J.d. Myers, venture on a downtown wine tour, take
a slice of Mommie Helen’s pie and visit with local volleyball phenom alyssa Mason.
there’s plenty to enjoy in Redlands ... in fact it’s all right here.

cover story | time passages
By SUZANNE SPROUL
In 1888, the Redlands Fire Hose
Company no. 1 was formed to
protect the community. Ralph
Levy was the first foreman, and
25 firefighters volunteered for duty.
Two years later, their jobs were made a
little easier with the addition of a motor-
driven, four-cylinder air-cooled Seagrave
fire apparatus with two 35-gallon soda
acid chemical tanks, some hoses and a
24-foot ladder.
Times have changed. Today, Redlands
is served by 57 firefighters at four
stations. They are trained and prepared
to act at a moment’s notice to continue to
protect the community.
The old Seagrave is long gone,
replaced during the decades by the
latest and greatest equipment. now
with two aging ladder trucks in the
Fire Department’s fleet, the time has
come for another upgrade.
The Federal Emergency Management
Agency is prepared to help with
$636,000 toward the purchase of a new
ladder truck, but there’s a catch. The city
must come up with the remaining
$160,000.
The Redlands Ladder Truck Fund
recently made it halfway to that goal,
thanks to a $30,000 contribution by the
University of Redlands plus $5,000
donations by Beaver Medical Clinic
and Epic Management.
And a major fundraiser — the
inaugural Redlands Firefighters Ball —
is expected to boost the tally even more.
The elegant, black-tie optional event is
set for Oct. 22, with proceeds going
toward the ladder truck purchase.
Most ladder trucks have a lifespan
of 10 years, and after that time there can
be safety concerns with the vehicles, says
Myra Patterson, one of the nine members
of the Redlands Ladder Truck Fund
committee.
The Redlands Fire Department has
two ladder trucks, both more than
a decade old — a 1998 Seagrave and
a 1975 Crown model. The older one is

considered a “reserve,” but is still used in
as many as 18 percent of emergencies.
“Having the proper ladder truck goes
beyond simply being able to help with two-
story buildings,” Patterson said. “Redlands
has multi-story buildings and this city is
filled with wonderful historic buildings —
many with high-pitched roof designs,
while others are set back. Having the right
equipment is essential in protecting
everyone.”
Battalion Chief Scott MacDonald agrees.
“We don’t buy ladder trucks very often,
and they are very expensive,” he said.
“Having the federal government pay
for 80 percent of the cost is a great
opportunity for the department and
the city. It’s huge.”
Once the Redlands Fire Department
is able to purchase a new truck, the 1998
model will become the reserve, while the
older unit will be decommissioned and
sold for parts or to a collector.
New models come equipped with the
latest safety features, such as anti-lock
brakes, shoulder belts, a closed cab and
a more modern aerial ladder system.
Redlands Volunteer Fire Department, circa 1901
Looking back … Glimpses of R.F.D. historyRedlands Fire. It’s a modern unit with
a rich past — that much is evident from a review of photos on file in the Heritage Room at the A.K. Smiley Library in Redlands.
Some of images are slowly fading. Some have been scanned and digitally cleaned up. Together they tell a story of the Redlands Fire Department.
There’s a fading sepia print of the old “engine house” — a wood structure that looks more like a barn or a stable. According to notes on the back of the print, the building was demolished on Oct. 20, 1902 — the same year on the face of Redlands’ “new” brick fire station shown in images dating from 1903.
Other bits of history slide forth in images from the past: a photo of the volunteer department in their parade uniforms, circa 1901, shows Chief J.E. Brown seated at center, with Assistant Chief Lincoln Sherrard, seated far right.
The men’s uniforms look to be white waistcoats, tucked like blouses into high-waisted pants. Flat-topped caps indicate job descriptions like assistant chief, hose,
driver. Most of the men, also sported ties, the selection of which appeared to be completely up to the individual.
A fellow in the back row, wearing his hat with a jaunty tilt, is identified as “Blondie Kanady.” He pops up again in another photo of the “laddies” in swimwear, again, one of the few men specifically identified.
Other photos mark periods of transition. A circa 1896 image shows only horse-drawn fire apparatus, while a photo circa 1907 shows horse-drawn and mechanically powered equipment in the same frame.
From 1910 and thereafter, the horses are out of the picture, replaced by a Windjammer engine and in 1914, a hook and ladder vehicle in front of a station at Fifth and Water streets.
The images appear to share a few constants: from a circa in 1896, with “Jack Levy?” on the back, to a 1950s era photo of the state-of-the-art vehicle at that time. There seems always to have been an Engine No. 1 and earnest firefighters to man it.

“The ladder truck is a very specialized
piece of equipment that acts sort of like
a rolling tool box in rescue mode for us,”
MacDonald said. “It also provides a safe
base of operations that enables our
firefighters to work in a safer way.”
Patterson believes this is the first
firefighters ball in Redlands history, and
event organizers say it’s an appropriate way
to raise money for the truck.
“It’s going to be at the historic and
simply beautiful Burrage Mansion, which
in the past has not been open to the public
but ball attendees will have full access to
the house. We think that is going to add an
exciting element to the evening,” Patterson
said. “It will be a night full of surprises and
exclusive access to the mansion. We will
be dining inside and outside of the
mansion, and we will have the opportunity
to wander around the grounds and home.”
A live auction is planned, dinner will be
served and guests are invited to dance and
visit with friends.
The 28-room estate, which was built in
1901 for Harvard attorney Albert Burrage,
was purchased in 2007 by Tim Rochford
and now serves the needs of foster children
and other community youngsters.
During the festivities, a Firefighter of the
Year and a Volunteer of the Year will be
recognized, and a social hour will begin
at 6 p.m. Tickets are $125. Sponsorship
opportunities range from $1,000 to
$10,000.
Donors also may become a part of the
city’s rich Fire Department heritage. Those
who give $1,000 or more will have their
names affixed to the new truck, and
donors of $500 to $999 will have their
names displayed on a plaque at Fire Station
No. 1. Those who give $100 or more will
be invited to a reception hosted by Fire
Chief Jeff Frazier.
Said Patterson: “Our firefighters are
sworn to protect us and our community.
Let’s help by providing them the
equipment they need to do their jobs.”

David Hexem is looking for ways to save the city of Redlands
tax dollars — and we’re not talking small change.
“We’ve been trying to figure out ways to save money, or to try
to be more creative in how we operate,” said Hexem, the city’s
chief information officer, before outlining some significant successes:
• A copier contract with Xerox was renegotiated, increasing the number
of copies employees could make plus expanding the ability to do color
at a savings of $250,000 over five years.
• A detailed survey of pavement conditions on every road throughout
the city was recently completed at a cost of $50,000 — one-third of what
a similarly sized city would expect to pay. That analysis will help city leaders
determine how to best spend the funds available to refurbish streets.

• Fifty computers that Esri was planning to
recycle were re-purposed for city use through
a partnership with the local technology company.
“it allowed us to put computers where we haven’t
had them before, replace computers that were up to
12 years old, and give laptops to directors or some
people in the Police department so they can do
work from home,” Hexem said. “That saved us an
immense amount of money that can be used for
something else.”
another initiative, Redlands 311, streamlines
some city operations. The free smartphone
application makes it easy to report potholes, graffiti
and other problems to the city department
responsible for addressing those issues.
When a user opens the app, the phone’s camera
takes a photo of, say, a sign that has been knocked
down, and the app’s esri-developed GiS technology
tells workers exactly where the problem is. The ease
of use increases the likelihood problems will be
reported, officials say. and the sooner they’re
reported, the sooner they can be fixed.
“it really has engaged citizens,” said Hexem,
who added that more than 700 work orders have
come through the system since it was launched
in February.
There’s an app for ThaT
fall 2011 | redlandsmagazine.com | 19
In another efficiency move, crews
repairing potholes were equiped with
Internet-connected laptops so work
orders can be downloaded anytime
during the day.
“Now we can communicate with a crew
so they don’t have to drive in to pick up
a piece of paper from the main office,”
Hexem said.
“If a pothole crew is being paid for
a nine-hour day, we want them to be filling
potholes for as much of that nine-hour day
as they can.”
The effort toward maximizing savings
and efficiencies is an ongoing process,
Hexem adds. His department has been
directed by City Manager N. Enrique
Martinez to interview city employees at all
levels of government to gather ideas for
improvements. Called the Redlands Path
to Excellence, Hexem will deliver the
findings to the City Council.
“Even in a down economy, we still are
trying to be innovative and trying to bring
creative solutions to enhance the quality
of life index for residents,” Hexem said.

THREE YEARS AGO, Stan
and Julie Waite’s world shifted.
The Redlands couple departed
in April 2008 on a two-week
dream trip to Scotland, bidding goodbye
to son Chris Long and daughter Rhiannon.
Within days, Chris, who’d had flu-like
symptoms, became so ill that his sister
insisted he go to the hospital.
Then, the diagnosis came. He did
not have the flu. His symptoms, plus
bruising and a 20-pound weight loss,
were attributed to something much more
grim: leukemia.
Rhiannon called the Waites, breaking
the news about Chris’ condition. Doctors
recommended they return home
immediately. Shortly after booking their
flight, the couple received another call, this
one from a doctor in the emergency room.
Their robust, 6-foot-1 son had died, a mere
10 hours after being diagnosed. He was 22.
“We kept trying to figure out how this
happened without us knowing,” Julie said.
“His body was completely shutting down
and trying to fight it as long as it could,
and we didn’t even know.”
They turned to the Internet for
information and found the website of the
Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. By that

fall, Julie had
decided to
participate in the
organization’s Light
the Night Walk at
Anaheim Stadium.
She raised $1,100
in pledges and met
Dianne Callahan,
whose own story
of her battle with
Stage 4 non-Hodgkins lymphoma had
inspired Julie to join in the first place.
And, in one of several twists of fate,
the Waites and Callahan learned they
lived only nine houses from each other
in Redlands.
The next year, the Waites formed a team
for the 2009 walk. They gave it the name
Primate Aflame, which Chris — passionate
about media arts — had hoped to use one
day as the name of a production company.
About 40 people signed on to the team,
which raised more than $5,100. The 2010
team of 37 walkers surpassed $6,700. This
year’s goal is $7,000.
Chris is the 2011 memorial honoree,
and the Waites shared their story at the
campaign kickoff event.
In addition, the Waites have turned their
fun, friendly lifestyle into something more
meaningful, hosting dinners and
fundraisers often to benefit the Leukemia
& Lymphoma Society.
The most recent was in late August,
a Celebration of Life event to commemorate
what would have been Chris’ 26th
birthday. They raised $1,500.
“Stan and Julie amaze me with their
strength and generosity,” said Callahan,
who is deputy executive director of the
Orange County/Inland Empire chapter
of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
“They’ve turned their heartbreaking story
into something positive to help others.
It’s their way of remembering Chris and
keeping his bigger than life spirit alive.”

Some citieS host a Susan G. Komen
walk and others hold an Avon walk to
fight breast cancer. Redlands has its very
own: the Believe Walk — unique because
funds raised in the inland empire stay in the
inland empire, helping to support local cancer
patients and survivors.
the three women who started the Believe Walk
— cancer survivors cathy Stockton, Annie Sellas
and Nancy Varner of Redlands — are still at the
helm as participants prepare to converge on
downtown Redlands for the fourth annual event
on Sunday, oct. 2. it promises to be a positive,
festive day as many storefronts will be decorated
in a colorful show of support.
“What’s neat is the spirit and the feeling,” Sellas
said. “even my friends who came from the L.A.
area said how beautiful it was. it’s so powerful.
that’s what heals people. God healed me, and it’s
a blessing to be able to do this.”

Police Department needed an
estimate of the number of people
who would turn out. The women
guessed 400; more than 1,700
showed up.
“We were stunned and feel pretty
blessed,” said Varner, adding that
each year the number of participants
has grown.
More than 7,000 people
participated last year, and this time
organizers are preparing for 8,000-
10,000.
Vicky Armstrong, who has
helped publicize the walk since its
inception, is not surprised the event
has grown so big so fast, noting that
just about everyone has a friend or
relative who has dealt with cancer.
“My two best friends died of breast
cancer,” she said. “Few families in
the Inland Empire have not been
touched by cancer. The walks are
so much fun, and you are doing
so much good. We really needed
something like this in our valley.”
Varner was inspired to bring a
cancer-fighting fundraising event to
the Inland Empire after she attended
a Susan G. Komen breast cancer
walk for five years in San Diego.
Varner, Sellas and Stockton joined
forces with friends, cancer survivors
and supporters to form a group
called Inland Women Fighting
Cancer.
“It was when we all were on our
cancer journeys that we cemented
our friendship,” said Varner, who
along with Stockton recently
celebrated five years of being cancer-
free. Sellas has been cancer-free for
10 years.
“The point of the walk is it’s
a celebration of life, and we want
to help other people,” Varner said.
“We love what all the other walks
do, especially, the Komen walk —
they raise so much money for
national research. We wanted the Crazy ties, bras ‘support’ event
Among the more colorful Aspects of the Believe Walk are the bras and ties.
We don’t mean a red-lace c cup or a blue paisley tie. Instead, it’s the outright crazy, funky and imaginative pieces of embellished clothing that have become a local legend in their own right as well as a signature of the event.
Just for fun and to add some artistic expression to the Believe Walk, organizers developed a fancy bras and ties decorating contest. prizes are awarded for first, second and third place, and the people’s choice. one top winner will receive a weekend getaway at the south coast Winery in temecula’s scenic wine country.
the contest has led to some pretty creative bras — decorated with every sort of embellishment imaginable, from feathers and funky fabrics to rhinestones, little stars, golf balls, mini butterflies and artificial flowers. these special bras and ties grace downtown redlands storefronts along with the suV of Believe Walk co-founder Annie sellas. her ford excursion, covered with the decorated bras and ties, cruises along the Believe Walk route, driven by the organizers’ husbands who park in different places so walkers can enjoy it and people can take fun pictures of the vehicle.
“the first year we decided we would decorate an suV. We decorated Annie’s car with all these bras and called it, ‘the support van,’ ” said nancy Varner, a Believe Walk co-founder. “We decided last year to have a contest, and had about 65 bras and ties. people brought them from all over. It’s pretty crazy. It’s fun.”
After the walk, the bras and ties are saved and re-used as decorations for future Believe Walks and other local charity events. — Amy Bentley
fall 2011 | redlandsmagazine.com | 23
The Believe Walk is expected to draw 8,000 to 10,000 participants this year, who, along with cancer survivors will include friends, family members and supporters.
Encouraging art in support of battling cancer, the Believe Walk also includes a bra and tie decorating contest. The top prize is a weekend getaway to South Coast Winery in Temecula.

money raised here to stay here. That was
our big thing. We know exactly where the
money is going.”
Inland Women Fighting Cancer took
the idea to Stater Bros. chairman and CEO
Jack Brown, who was supportive. Stater
Bros. Charities has been a major sponsor
of the Believe Walk, and many other local
businesses and individuals also support
the family friendly event.
Since its inception, the Believe Walk has
raised more than $900,000 for the new
Patient Resource Center at the Loma Linda
University Cancer Center — which is
expected to open this fall — and the
Women’s Imaging and Wellness Center
at St. Bernardine’s Medical Center in
San Bernardino. Last year, a donation also
went to Michelle’s Place in Temecula,
a breast-cancer resource center for patients
and their families.
“It’s for everybody. The money is not just
for breast cancer,” Sellas said.
Organizers set a goal of raising $500,000
this year, including $50,000 from online
donations.
The Believe Walk promises to be a fun
and lively event, featuring 23 forms of
entertainment for walkers along the route,
courtesy of local cheer squads, Brownie
groups, musicians and others.
Believe WalkWhat: There’s a 5K (3.1 miles) and a 10K route (6.2 miles), and both end at the Believe Bash, which features snacks, music, cancer awareness information and vendor booths.Where: Walks start at State and Orange streets and end at the Redlands Bowl.When: Sunday, Oct. 2Registration: Day-of starts at 7 a.m., and the walk begins at 8:30; the online registration deadline is Sept. 30.How much: Registration is $10 for ages 4-12, $30 for ages 13 and older.

By CARLA SANDERS
If the city of Redlands is “the jewel of the inland empire,” then the Redlands symphony, as one fan says, surely must occupy a key facet of that gem. What started more than six decades ago as part of the music program at the University of Redlands has evolved
into a world-class symphony, with patrons so loyal they’ve inspired friends and generations of their families to return time and again.
“We really need to cherish this; it’s something special,” said W. Robert clark, who served on the symphony’s board of directors for six years and was president for two years. he and his wife, norma, have been Redlands symphony subscribers for nearly 20 years.

The mastery of Haydn and Mozart—Haydn’s elegant 104th symphony and Mozart’s playful overture, The Marriage of Figaro—is paired with two pieces for oboe and orchestra. Guest artist and New York Philharmonic Principal Oboist Liang Wang performs the Strauss Oboe Concerto and the world premiere of Redlands Symphony Principal Oboist and composer Francisco Castillo’s new work for the oboe.
Just days before Valentine’s Day, celebrate the passion and romance of the greatest love arias from the Italian operatic repertory. These beautiful, timeless love songs of the Italian masters—taken from the greatest operas of Puccini, Verdi, Mascagni, and Bellini—are followed by Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet.
orchestra, it’s because of the role it occupies
within the city, according to Paul Ideker,
president and chief executive officer
of the symphony.
“It has been an important part of three
or four generations of some local people’s
families,” he said.
“You just don’t see something like that very
often in Southern California. For more than
60 years, it has been an institution that’s
grown in importance and has a connection
to people.
“Some of our subscribers have been there
from the start. We had people on the last gala
committee who worked on the first one
25 years ago.”
Ideker says there is enthusiasm and
appreciation for the music, as well as the
symphony’s longevity, which is remarkable
in today’s fast-forward society.
“We have a pretty loyal core group,” he
said, noting that the Redlands Symphony’s
renewal rate for subscribers is 85 to 90
percent, higher than the average for similar
organizations. “It’s different here. It’s very
different, in a very good way.”
Part of that difference comes from the
volunteers who help with symphony events.
The Cappelli family of Redlands has assisted
with many symphony concerts, handling
ushering duties and staying on to listen to the
evening’s program from the balcony.
“It really connects the family to the
community,” said mom Dawn Cappelli.
Adds daughter, Kathy, 16: “It’s a fantastic
thing that Redlands has its own symphony.
It’s very culturally rich and gives the town
a good reputation with such diversity.”
Kathy, a high school junior, is particularly
inspired as she also plays the cello. Her sister
Courtney, 11, plays the cello, too, and says
she was inspired to do so by the symphony.
As for the concerts, Courtney says she enjoys
seeing everyone there and associating with
so many different people. “It’s amazing,”
she added.
It’s that wonder that Ideker, the president
and CEO, would like to see spread to many
other lives. To those who’ve yet to experience
the orchestra’s enchanting evenings, he offers
this: “The people who’ve gone before, you
have created a cultural core with this
organization that is remarkable. You should
inherit it, and it should be for you and your
children’s children. It’s a gift, a real gift ...
It’s going to be up to you to continue it.”

generation didn’t come to

She has done her part to
encourage more youthful
involvement. The mother of four
children ages 10 to 20, Gomez
purchases two season tickets
annually and makes it a point
to take a different person with
her to each concert — husband
Roland, one of her children,
a nephew, friends. And, she
says, through the years she’s
noticed that there has been
“a big difference” in the
audience, with more and more
younger couples and younger
families attending, as well as
an increased number of college-
aged men and women.
“It’s exciting,” said Gomez,
noting that she often encourages
others to give the symphony a
go. There has been an added
benefit, she says, as the musical
events have had “a lasting effect”
on her children. Three of the
four have thus far pursued
choral music. The fourth may
be headed that way also.

A visit to J.D. Myers
on state street is always
an adventure.
it sells everything from
chic yet comfortable clothes to
handcrafted jewelry, timeless home
decor and seasonal accouterments.
the merchandise is comprehensive yet
varied: a shopper can come in and
find a birthday gift for mom, a baby
shower gift for a best friend and
a stylish ensemble of their own.
“We’re for people who are unique
and different,” owner Jane Myers
said. “it’s all about a lifestyle; we’re
here to be your fashion, home and
living stop.”
Myers moved to redlands from
the south Bay area of Los Angeles in
the early 1990s. After having a hard
time finding everything she wanted
to buy locally, she opened her own
store in 1994.
“i had been in retailing my whole
life,” she said. “We started on sixth
street, around the corner from where
we are now. it was a very small space,
with just home goods. three years
later, the lease was up and we moved
to state street.”
the store expanded again two years
later when the storefront next door
became vacant. Myers, who previously
worked as a buyer at a Los Angeles
department store, had been consid-
ering selling clothes in the back of
the shop.
“When the space became available,
it was, ‘oK, you gotta do it or forget
about it,’ ” she recalled. “so, we did it.”
the atmosphere in the store is fun
and light-hearted; there are four
employees, and “we love each other,”
Myers said. “We’re like a little family
here, and we love being together and
kid each other all the time.

Selling a little bit of everything

“It’s just a great environment to be in.
We get along great.”
The draw of J.D. Myers is the eclectic
mix of goods — a diversity that makes
the store a destination.
“We have customers who fly down
here from the San Francisco area to shop,”
Myers said. “There are those who have
relatives in town, and when they visit,
this is where they have to come. They’re
a God send for us.”
Myers goes to New York City and Paris
twice a year, and Los Angeles about five
times a year to search for the latest items
to sell in the store.
“I’m always looking for something
I haven’t seen before — something that
catches my eye, that is different and unique
that I think we can sell,” she said.
“I’m one of those crazy people who walk
the entire show. People who work for me
say, ‘I can’t believe we have to look at
everything,’ but we don’t want to miss
anything. It’s about the hunt.”
Myers recently decided to resume
selling shoes, and was amazed by the
colorful pairs she saw during a recent
show in Las Vegas.
“They were green and orange and amber,
just really interesting,” she said. “We were
in the shoe business at one time, but it’s
difficult. You have to buy ‘X’ amount of
pairs, and you’re always stuck with
some of them. But I felt like the only things
I was shopping for in other places were
makeup and shoes. So, I think we can have
shoes again.”
Like many other State Street business
owners, Myers has had to revamp a bit due
to the economic downturn.
“These times are very challenging and

difficult,” she said. “We’ve downsized, and
got rid of non-essential things.
“We got rid of very expensive stuff, and
bought some things that are wearable and
comfortable but don’t cost an arm and a
leg. We went for some still stylish yet
classic pieces and clothing. You just have to
re-work your business to stay in it.”
Myers is a champion of the Redlands
3/50 Project, which urges shoppers to pick
three local, independently owned
businesses where they can spend $50.
“I’ve been part of it for a long time,”
she said. “It’s just so important to buy
locally, to keep money in Redlands so your
money works for you. We have some
fabulous things, and before you drive to
Orange County or Los Angeles, look in
your own downtown.”
Redlands 3/50 suggests that the money
should be spent at independently owned
businesses, not big box or chain stores.
“If it’s owned by someone who is local,
they have a vested interest in it,” Myers
said. “They want you to be happy. During
these tough times, if you don’t support
businesses you like downtown, they’re not
going to be there. If you want it to be here,
you have to use it, or it’s going to be gone.”

By CATHERINE GARCIA
Redlands isn’t quite the napa Valley, but it’s quickly becoming a destination for wine lovers.Within the past few years, several wine-related establishments — all run by tight-knit families
— have opened downtown, offering everything from tastings to bottling opportunities.Paxton’s Cellar sells only the best California wines, while Time in a Bottle serves gourmet food
with wine, champagne and mixed drinks. Barely a few months old, state street Winery is already creating a following of locals who enjoy the $5 tastings. Here’s a closer look at the three businesses that are helping make Redlands a wine aficionado’s paradise.
Trio of businesses help ciTy ripen as a wine desTinaTion
paxton’s cellarIf it’s not made in California, you won’t
find it at Paxton’s Cellar. “I decided that if
I’m in California, which has such great
wines, why should I sell other wine?” said
owner Philip Paxton. “This is a 100 percent
California destination.”
Paxton and his wife, amelia, moved to
Redlands from the napa Valley three years
ago to be closer to their daughters, Mary
Joy and annemarie. a former hotelier with
Hilton, Paxton was looking for something
to do when he decided to open a wine bar,
finding Redlands to be the perfect location
for such an establishment.
“When we came three years ago, it was
already an entertainment center,” he said.
“state street has so much allure, and is just
a very nice place to be.”
after originally settling in a spot closer
to the freeway, Paxton’s Cellar moved later
to state street.
“I try to select wines from all the
wineries, but I do more with family
businesses,” Paxton said. “If you come to
my store you notice I don’t carry Mondavi
or any of the big boys. You can buy those
anywhere.”
Paxton views wine as a lifestyle, but
doesn’t have time for wine snobbery. “If
I enjoy it, I don’t care about it being a $2 or
a $200 bottle. Most wines in my store are
in the mid-teens to about $25 or $27.”
Paxton’s Cellar has developed a strong,
regular, and loyal local following, says
Paxton, who asks his customers questions
to determine the best possible wine
experience for them. He finds that many
of them already know their stuff.
“There is an aura of knowledge that
seems to float around the bar,” he said.
“about 90 percent of my customer base
knows their wines, and they tell me
about wines.”
He’s also close with his fellow business
owners. “I am so fortunate that so many
proprietors on state street come in to see
me,” he said. “I’ve developed a real nice
relationship with them, and they’ll send
people to me and I’ll send people to them.
It’s how we all survive.”
Paxton keeps them coming in with wine
tastings every day and special events. He
doesn’t serve food daily, but visitors can
order meals from such local restaurants
as Caprice Cafe and The Gourmet
Pizza shoppe.
“In the fall, I bring in (people from)
wineries so they can come in and talk
about their wines,” he said. “We also have
fundraisers and mixers, and sometimes we
even have a challenge, like a merlot versus
a merlot, and a cabernet versus a cabernet.”
Paxton is assisted at the store by his

34 | redlandsmagazine.com | fall 2011
wife, who comes in whenever she can, and
Annemarie, who handles the store’s
Facebook and Twitter accounts. Paxton
himself works on a monthly newsletter, but
a vast majority of business comes from
word of mouth.
“It’s been amazing,” he said. “That has
brought in a good amount of business.”
Paxton’s Cellar 104 E. State St., Suite L, Redlands; 909-666-8848, www.paxtonscellar.com Hours: 1-8 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday, 1-9 p.m. Friday-Saturday, closed Sunday and Monday
State Street WineryIt took several years, but Janet and Robin
Harter’s dream of opening a winery finally
came true in July.
“We always wanted to do something like
this,” said Janet. “We started the process
five years ago, and last year we said, ‘We’re
going to do it, it’s now or never.’ ”
State Street Winery sits at the end of the
street, near Baskin-Robbins and Bank of
America. The location is perfect, and has
adequate parking, which was very
important, Janet says.
The couple studied the wine market
before opening, and found that it was
“going up while everything else was going
down.”
The Harter family has lived in Redlands
for 30 years. The winery is a group effort,
with their three daughters, son-in-law and
grandson all involved.
“My husband and son-in-law make all
the wine in our back room,” Janet said.
“They recently filtered 11 wines, and
it took about four to five hours.”
State Street Winery offers reds, whites
and fruit wines, with fun names like Cran
Chi Chi (cranberries and chianti), Purple
Twilight (acai raspberry cabernet
sauvignon) and Ginger Goddess (pinot gris
infused with loquat and ginger).
“We’ve been selling reds like crazy,”
Janet said. Bottles range from $14 to $22,
tastings are $5, and all glasses are $5.
“We kept our prices at a certain price
point, so we could be more successful;
we could easily charge $10 a tasting or
$10 a glass,” she added.
Food is not available on site, but State
Street Deli and Brisket’s both deliver, and
if customers purchase a bottle of wine to
drink on the premises but don’t finish it,
Robin Harter opens a bottle at State Street Winery.
State Street Winery is a busy place as wine lovers enjoy conversation and vintage selections.
fall 2011 | redlandsmagazine.com | 35
it will be re-corked for them. Wine tastings
are available every day, consisting of five
one-ounce samples; on Taster Tuesdays,
it’s free.
“When people find out the prices, that’s
why so many customers come back,” Janet
said. “It’s very reasonable.”
One unique aspect of State Street Winery
is that customers can come in and bottle
their own wines. Interested participants
purchase a batch of 29 bottles, and then
come back five to seven weeks later
to bottle and label their items.
“A lot are scheduled for October,
November and December, right around the
holidays,” Janet said. “We’ve had a wedding
party come in and bottle their own wine,
and groups of friends.”
The participants come into the bottling
area, rinse the bottles, fill them with wine,
cork them, put on the hot foil, and then
label the front and back.
“It takes about two hours for 10 people,”
Janet said. “They love it.”
So far, the winery is attracting large
crowds, and is especially busy during
Market Night on Thursdays.
“We have a lot of repeats already,” Janet
said. “The atmosphere just feels relaxing.
It has a different feeling from a bar.”
The energy is positive because, as Janet
points out, “Everyone who comes in wants
to be here. It’s not like you have to come
and drink wine!”

Time in a BottleFor owners Paula and Angel Negron,
Time in a Bottle is more than a wine and
martini lounge. It’s also one of the ways
they honor the memory of their son.
Aron Negron was killed in a car accident
in 2004, just a few weeks shy of his 20th
birthday. After the accident, “Our lives
were changed forever,” Paula Negron said.
“We tried to work for other people, but we
were so unhappy.”
The Negrons lived in Orange County,
and thought about opening a wine bar
there. Instead, they moved inland,

Paula and Angel Negron at Time in a Bottle
opening Time in a Bottle in April 2008.
“My sister-in-law was in Redlands, and
we often visited,” Paula said. “We loved
this town and the old homes and
buildings.”
Paula had the vision, and Angel
implemented it, taking more than a year to
create one-of-a-kind tables and a long bar
featuring exotic woods and inlaid grapes.
When it came time to name their new
wine bar, they chose one with two
meanings.
“Wine spends time in a bottle, and if we
knew we would only have our son for
a short time, we would have saved the time
we had in a bottle,” said Paula, who has
been in the service industry since she was
14, working as everything from a server to
catering director.
While part of the first graduating class
in management at the California School
of Culinary Arts, she “infected her husband
with wine disease.”
“We think wine isn’t a snooty,
pretentious thing,” she said.

“It’s approachable. It was created by a
farmer who is proud of his product and
puts it in a bottle. People don’t understand
that that’s what it really is.”
The Time in a Bottle drink list is vast.
“We decide what goes on the list, and
what we think guests want to see,” Paula
said. “Wine lovers have to try everything,
and it’s all about educating the palate.”
Food is a huge component of Time in a
Bottle, and the menu includes appetizers
like Puerto Rican style tacos and award-
winning crab cakes, in addition to pizzas
and soups and sandwiches.
On Taste Test Tuesdays, a new appetizer
is introduced for just a few dollars, with
guests invited to give their feedback.
“They get an Iron Chef form, and they
fill it out and are brutally honest,”
Paula said.
Everything is made from scratch, so that
ingredients like sugar in desserts are
controlled and are sure to go well with
wine. The food is prepared by chef
Carmine Curiel, a graduate of Le Cordon
Bleu who interned at a three-star Michelin
restaurant in Spain. Desserts are headed by
the Negrons’ daughter, Adrienne, whose
husband Brian is assistant manager.
“We’re so excited we’re all here as
a family and involved in the business,”
Paula said.
In February, Time in a Bottle received
a liquor license, and now serves well
drinks and items off of a Martini
Madness menu.
“It was a response to what our guests
were asking for,” Paula said. “They had
friends who didn’t drink wine, but who
wanted to go out with them.”
The atmosphere at Time in a Bottle is
laid back, and guests make themselves at
home on couches complete with blankets.
There is music every Tuesday and Saturday
with no cover charge.
“You can dress in shorts and a tank top
or tails and an evening gown,” Paula said.
“We try to appeal to everyone.”
The Negrons also give back to the
community, and often donate to local
charities, especially those concerning
children. On Oct. 27, they will host
a fundraiser for The Compassionate
Friends in Redlands.
“It supports parents who lost a child,”
Paula said. “When our son was killed, we
desperately needed a group like this, but
couldn’t find one. It’s a special situation,
and you need to know you’re not the
only one.”
Three years since opening, the Negrons
are thrilled with what the business
has become.
“This is our home away from home,”
Paula said. “We spend more time here with
our guests than anywhere else. We are
committed to Redlands and our business
and family. We love being part of this
community.”

Vietnamese cuisine is
one of the most misunderstood
cuisines of the world for two
main reasons. While chinese
and Japanese restaurants seemingly are
everywhere, there are relatively few
Vietnamese restaurants in our area, and
many people are afraid to try foods that
are new to them.
But it doesn’t need to be that way.
some of the primary ingredients in the
Vietnamese diet are common in many
other cultures including rice, fresh herbs,
fruits and vegetables as well as proteins
like meat, fish, chicken and duck.
Vietnam was a province of china
for more than 1,000 years, so many
chinese food items — dumplings, fried
rice and noodles — are found in
Vietnamese cuisine.
another major culinary influence came
from the French who introduced baguettes
for sandwiches as well as shallots, potatoes,
butter and tarragon. they also showed
Vietnamese cooks new ways of preparing
food with a distinctly French twist.
and unlike the sauces used in chinese
and thai food, Vietnamese versions tend
to be more refined and are considered
among the healthiest of any asian cuisine
because of the fresh ingredients and
cooking methods.
at noodle 21 asian Grill, where diners
may enjoy winning Vietnamese cuisine, the
décor is both soft and soothing with light-
colored walls and tables and dark brown
trim — translating into a relaxing dining
experience. Light jazz and modern pop
music fills the air as delicious aromas from
the kitchen filter into the dining room.
the menu features authentic, popular
and delicious Vietnamese dishes including
the unique Roll Your Own Fresh spring
Rolls ($11.50). this fun and hands-on
experience features a large plate of fresh
lettuce leaves, mint, julienne carrots,
cucumbers, rice noodles, an array of
charbroiled chicken, pork, beef or shrimp,
a bowl of hot water and seven or so paper-
thin rice papers that are used to wrap up
the goodies.

taking the rice paper and gently soaking it
into the hot water for a few seconds. Then
take it out and start filling the rice paper
with any or all of the ingredients, roll it up
then dip it into one of the dipping sauces.
The rolls are delicious and have a
multitude of flavors and textures. And
if you run out of rice paper wraps, the
waiter will supply more.
One of the most beloved items in
a Vietnamese diet is called pho, a rich-
flavored beef-based soup made from
various beef bones, including oxtails,
that is slowly simmered for eight hours or
more. The broth is ladled into a large bowl
over a bed of thin rice or egg noodles and
comes with any combination of meat that
you choose. There are rare and well-done
slices of steak, flank steak, brisket tendon,
tripe, meat balls, chicken and shrimp. The
broth is delicately seasoned and delicious
— especially with the addition of fresh
basil leaves, bean sprouts, sliced jalapenos
or fresh lime that are presented along with
this unique noodle soup. Prices range from
$5.95 to $6.95, which is truly a bargain
given it makes a filling and satisfying lunch
or dinner option.
The charbroiled pork sandwich ($3.95)
consists of slices of delicious pork, fresh
cucumbers, carrots, cilantro and butter in
a nice crispy French roll that’s ready to be
devoured. I like adding hot sauce and
hoisin sauce — a Chinese barbecue sauce
— for extra layers of flavor.
The best dish I sampled during a recent
visit was the No. 31 shaken beef ($9.95).
It was juicy, tender and deliciously

Fold uncovered sides inward and then tightly roll the wrapper, beginning at the end with the lettuce. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Dipping saucesIn a small bowl, mix fish sauce, water, lime juice,
garlic, sugar and chili sauce to taste. In another small bowl, mix the hoisin sauce and peanuts. Serve rolled spring rolls with dipping sauces.
seasoned cubes of filet mignon sautéed
with onions and bell peppers with
Jasmine rice. The meat was absolutely
delicious and the light sauce had a
slight spicy kick to it that brought this
dish to a great culinary plateau.
Other selections I recommend
include the No. 40 house special, Com
Dak Biet ($7.95), which includes slices
of steak, chicken and pork basted and
charbroiled with a fantastic sweet and
savory sauce served with Jasmine rice,
and the No. 62 crispy noodle with
chicken and lots of fresh vegetables.
The No. 30 roasted chicken with
sautéed rice ($7.50) is another
wonderful selection. It’s a well roasted
cornish hen that’s terrifically crispy
outside, while still moist and juicy
inside. It’s served with fried rice with
overtones of tomato paste, roasted
garlic and butter.
In addition to outstanding food,
Noodle 21 also has a full array of
traditional cold Vietnamese drinks
as well as popular Boba smoothies.
Owners Jennifer Nguyen, Mai and
Hoang Tran are lovely people who
take great pride in their food and
restaurant and really treat each
customer like family.
Noodle 21 is a wonderful family
owned and operated restaurant that
features the best of what Vietnamese
food is all about. Even if you have
never had this type of cuisine, you
are sure to enjoy a great dining
experience here.

IT’S ALL
ABOUT freshBy Luanne J. Hunt
A little bit of start-up
money and a big dream
were all it took for Dorothy
Pryor Rose to become more
famous than she ever imagined. the
65-year-old has made quite a name for
herself with the homemade pies and
desserts she bakes in her Colton shop,
Mommie Helen’s bakery.
Rose started the bakery on a modest
budget in 1999 in a 900-square-foot
space. Her idea was inspired by the
rave reviews she received for the peach
cobbler she frequently took to potluck
gatherings. it didn’t take long for word
to get around town after she opened
for business.
to this day, long lines of hungry
customers form in front of Mommie
Helen’s bakery, which moved to a
2,600-square-foot building in 2006.
Patrons are more than happy to pay
$13.50 to $14.50 for one of her pies.
“We make our pies completely from
scratch,” Rose said. “We cut up our
apples, roll out our dough and use
100 percent fresh ingredients. So many
customers tell us that our pies are
almost exactly like the pies their
mothers or grandmothers used
to make. We’re very proud of that.”
before opening Mommie Helen’s
bakery, Rose worked at Pacific bell
for 30 years. it took a leap
of faith to give up her stable income,
but the calling to open the pie shop
was undeniable.
“God gave me the vision to do this,
so i let Him take the lead,” Rose said.
According to Rose, divine
intervention paved the way in 2000
Dorothy Pryor RosePHotos by aL Cuizon

for her to send some pies to an event that
former Lakers star Shaquille O’Neal was
involved with. After Shaq tasted her sweet
potato pie, he became her biggest fan —
telling his friends and colleagues about
Rose’s pies, and soon orders were pouring
in from everywhere.
Rose’s most famous clients include
Oprah Winfrey, Stevie Wonder, Mariah
Carey, James Worthy, Magic Johnson,
Penny Marshall and Kathy Ireland.
“Our shop has been featured in
the Wall Street Journal, on CNN and
on all the local news stations,” Rose said.
“In 2009, my berry cobbler made it into
Oprah Winfrey’s magazine. People started
calling and ordering pies from all around
the world.”
Rose and her staff of five family
members (including her husband Robbie)
bake about 500 pies a day — and that is
still not enough to keep up with the
growing demand.
She is considering another expansion,
but is afraid of losing quality control
where recipes are concerned. Rose is
trusting a higher power to let her know
when, and if, the time is right.
“I would very much like to expand and
turn this into an empire,” Rose
said. “But there’s still a lot to
learn as far as the business
side of things is
concerned. When I feel
that God is telling me
to take the next step,
I will. Ultimately, things
have to be done right.”
While it’s difficult for Rose
to pinpoint exactly what makes her
desserts so popular, she does say they are
baked with lots of love and care. Her
mother, Helen, who gave Rose most of her
recipes, wouldn’t have it any other way.
“My mom sampled the pies every week,
and she loved all of them,” said Rose,
whose mother died in 2007. “Sweet potato
pie was her favorite, and she was eating
so much of it, I wouldn’t let her have it
anymore. After that, she would call on the
phone and try to disguise her voice and
order a pie. It was really funny.”
Along with sweet potato and fruit pies,
Mommie Helen’s Bakery offers everything
from cakes to cupcakes to cookies. Her
shop also features a variety of sugar-free
items. Pies can be shipped anywhere in
the United States for about $50.

Alyssa Mason is a dominating presence on the volleyball court at Redlands East Valley High school. The 6-foot-2 senior middle blocker is not
only a star player for the Wildcats, she also has been recognized by the american Volleyball Coaches
association as one of the top high school players in the country.
Mason was recruited by several top colleges and has committed to Pepperdine University,
where she will play volleyball on a full scholarship.
Volleyball is a year-round activity for Mason. Training for her club team starts
in December, and the season continues through July when high school practices begin. The prep season lasts through november, but the Wildcats
regularly play into December. The team has made it to four straight CIF southern section championships, winning three of them.
away from the sport, Mason is a regular girl. We asked her five questions:
Favorite thing to do? “I like to go to the mall and see movies, and occasionally go to the beach. If we have the weekend off
from volleyball, me and my friends will load it up and head on out.”
Top movies? “I really like comedies,” she says. “she’s the Man,” “step Brothers” and “legally Blonde” are
three favorites.On your iPod? Taylor swift, Carrie Underwood,
Rascal Flatts and lady antebellumOn TV? “Pretty little liars” and “The secret life
of the american Teenager,” both on aBC FamilyPlans after college? “In a perfect world,
I would love to be a sportscaster on EsPn, but I don’t know how plausible that is. Maybe
something in communications or law.”
