Since last we met …

SummerS. I thought they were supposed to be laid-back — you know, afternoons at the park, Saturdays at the beach, and a

week-long vacation get-away sometime between memorial Day and Labor Day. Not this summer.

Sure, work and/or summer school always have been big par ts of the schedule. After all, this isn’t one of those european countries with a reputation for shutting down for an entire month.

But in 2011, if you’re for tunate enough to have a job, productivity expectations are up. What was good enough last year won’t cut it now. And if you’re looking for a job, you’re likely working longer hours than ever trying to f ind that next position.

The result: We’re just too busy to really enjoy the summer.The late, great Nat King Cole in 1963 sang a rousing tune about

“Those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days of Summer” — perfect for the time, but I’m not so sure that applies anymore.

unemployment is edging up again, as are gas prices. Lockouts were called in the NFL and the NBA. There’s more discord than there has been in a long time in Washington, D.C. And while we witnessed less of a ruckus in Sacramento than we’ve seen in years during the state budget negotiations, the result was a plan in which higher education suffered a huge hit. That’s never a smart idea.

So here we are, in the dog days of summer leading into the early days of fall. A time of transition. From kids enjoying their break from homework to getting ready to go back to school. From baseball to football. From hot to ... well, less hot.

In this issue, we’ve assembled several options for fun late-summer outings. The California Citrus State Historic Park is a wonderful place to spend an afternoon, walking among the citrus trees and learning about riverside’s heritage. Adventurous types may satisfy their need for thrills by gliding through the treetops on a new zip-line experience in Wrightwood. And for those who want to stay home and enter tain guests, some barbecue tips from restaurant writer Allan Borgen.

There’s plenty more inside, and we invite you to explore it all.While the times today may not be like “those days of soda and pretzels

and beer” that Cole sang about, it is still summer.Slow down just a little. There’s plenty to enjoy.

YWCA’s Nautilus has special meaning

The nautilus is a beautiful creature with a multi-chambered coiled shell. It’s also the symbol of an award given to outstanding local women by the YWCA of Riverside County.

The organization’s 28th annual Women of Achievement awards luncheon, set for Sept. 15 at the Riverside Convention Center, will recognize seven women: Beverly Bailey, CEO of Stronghold Engineering in Riverside; Donna Dahl, assistant director of programs for the Riverside County Mental Health Department; Cyndi Monroe, founder and ar tistic director of Christian Arts and Theatre

in Corona; Dr. Sandra W. Paniagua, a pediatrician with Kaiser Permanente/Riverside Medical Center; Lea Petersen, public affairs manager with the Southern California Gas Company; Karin Roberts, director of the Riverside chapter of Habitat for Humanity; and Ruth Wier Prystash, a special education teacher with the Riverside County Off ice of Education.

Dr. Pamela Clute, a past award recipient who is UC Riverside’s assistant vice provost, came up with the idea for the award to be a nautilus shell. Clute chaired the Women of Achievement steering committee 27 years ago when the nautilus was selected as the symbol.

Nautilus means “sailor” in Latin. It’s a mollusk that has adapted to the powerful, changing sea for 450 million years, protected by a complex shell. When the shell is split in half, “it reveals characteristics symbolic of women who achieve,” said Clute.

“The spiral symbolizes the constant growing, evolving and renewing of women who achieve.

“The multiple chambers inside the shell provide a home and a transportation system for the animal. These chambers symbolize the many dimensions and many talents of women who achieve. The nautilus adds new chambers throughout its lifetime to accommodate growth. Women who achieve add new dimensions and talents throughout their lifetimes as they strive for their goals.”

Big appetite, big heartA Great Dane affectionately

known as Queen Anne was spared from euthanization a year ago,

and later gave

bir th to 10 puppies at the Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center. All of the pups were adopted by

loving families, and many of them returned recently for a f irst bir thday par ty. The celebration got us thinking about the breed, known to eat 40 pounds of dog food a month.

At the pet adoption center, 16 purebred Danes have been

adopted out during the last two years. Ten of those were Queen

Anne’s puppies.The biggest misconception

is that they are aggressive. While some of them may be,

that’s generally not the case, according to our friends at the nonprof it center. “They are referred to as gentle giants as they are very large dogs with a very loving disposition,” says Aimee Hoesman, operations manager.

“The benef its of owning this breed is that they are normally considered kid-friendly if raised with children properly. You have what most people consider a guard dog, but you know you own a giant ‘love bug.’”

For photos from the bir thday par ty, turn to Page 79.

Food on wheelsThe food trucks are

coming! On Sept. 3, up to 12,000 foodies, friends and families are expected to attend the inaugural Riverside Food Truck Festival.

It will be a rare treat, considering food trucks are normally banned in Riverside County.

Riverside Councilman Paul Davis got the wheels rolling on the festival after he attended a similar event in June at Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario with other government off icials.

Forty to 50 trucks will be serving a variety of foods, from gourmet and fusion to comfort foods. There also will be a sports zone with former and current NFL players signing autographs plus three live bands.

Davis hopes the festival will become a Labor Day weekend tradition. He is sponsoring it as a private resident, not a politician, with support from county Supervisor Bob Buster.

The festival will be a fundraiser for three local nonprof its: the Asian Pacif ic Lunar Festival, Riverside County Prevent Child Abuse and the Riverside Arts Council.

Riverside Food Truck FestivalDowntown Riverside, along Third Street between Market and OrangeSept. 3, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (general admission at 11 a.m.)$25 for VIP tickets (with early admission at 10 a.m. and a special tent with goodies), general admission $8 in advance or $10 at the door.

Back to school tipsSummer vacation is winding down

to a precious few days. Since high school can be intimidating for freshmen, we asked for some suggestions for students and parents. Wade Coe, the principal at Poly High School; Susan Mills, the principal at Ramona High School; and Gabrielle Zlaket, a counselor at Arlington High School; answered the call:

• Freshmen students and their parents should attend registration together to get the right information regarding school policies, such as the dress code and the use of electronics.

• Students who belong to a club or sport are more successful. Find one that appeals to you and join.

• Students should come to school prepared to learn, with a notebook, all other necessary materials and a positive attitude.

• Every successful student needs help at some time, so be sure to ask for it when you need it. Teachers, counselors and administrators are all ready to help.

IT’S AMAZING how one night of fun and festivities can do so much good in the community, says Patrick Brien, executive director

of the Riverside Arts Council. He’s referring to the 33rd Mayor’s Ball for the Arts, a celebration returning Sept. 17 to historic White Park in downtown Riverside.

Since its humble beginnings in 1977, the Mayor’s Ball has helped hundreds of ar ts and community-based organizations, and tens of thousands of Riverside residents have been the benef iciaries.

“It brings all of the major ar ts groups and supporters to one place at one time — and that doesn’t happen anywhere else,” said Riverside Mayor Ron Loveridge, who has attended every ball, including the ones before he became mayor in 1994. “You’re celebrating Riverside as the city of ar ts and innovation, and it’s really a fun evening.”

The theme this year is “Nightlife — Beyond the Velvet Rope,” and Brien promises a “very classy and stylish” evening.

White Park will be sectioned into four areas that resemble

famous nightclubs: the Cotton Club, Rainbow Room, The Sands and Studio 54. Guests are invited to come in attire that corresponds to the various themes of the nightclubs, but it’s OK if they don’t.

“In the past, par ticipants were asked to come in costume and decorate their tables to compete for prizes,” Brien said. “From the feedback we received, some people thought that was too much work. Now they can come and just enjoy all the wonderful things we have to offer.”

Along with free hors d’oeuvres and food samplings from local restaurants, there will be a big band, as well as a solo vocalist and DJ.

“People are extremely excited about what we’ve got planned,” Brien said. “And we’re really hoping that in changing things up, we will gather more funds to support an even greater number of programs.”

Mayor’s Ball for the artsWhite Park, Riverside 5-10 p.m. Sept. 17 $50 per person; $500 for a group of 10; $550 for reserved tables for 10 951-680-1345, www.riversidear tscouncil.com

On the coverJoseph Moore and Shanti Ryle,

who recently spent an afternoon helping us illustrate a preview for the 33rd Mayor’s Ball for the Arts, have compiled some impressive credits during their young careers.

Last summer, Moore was par t of the pre-opening celebration of the Culver Center of the Arts when he performed in the 3 Theatre Group production of “The Merchant of Venice,” directed by UC Riverside professor Robin Russin.

Ryle, who performs in community theater productions in her hometown of Temecula, appeared in the independent f ilm “Jack the Reaper,” which was named best horror/sci-f i f ilm at the Cannes Independent Film Festival in May. She was named Teen Miss Temecula in 2008, and this fall will attend Southern Oregon University in Ashland, where she will major in theater.

MAYOR’S BALL BENEFITS PACKAGEThe Mayor’s Ball for the Arts lived up to its name once again last year, raising funds to help ar ts and other local organizations

through the Community Arts Par tnership grant program. More than 40,000 Riverside residents have enjoyed amenities at least par tially paid for by proceeds from the Mayor’s Ball. Here’s a sampling from the 2010-11 CAP program:

Art Works at Jefferson Transitional ProgramsAt a glance: The mission of Art Works is to educate and empower individuals who carry a mental health diagnosis through the use of creative ar ts for wellness and recovery, vocational support, peer-driven wellness and anti-stigma outreach. The project for which JTP received funding is Peers + Plus, a lecture and exhibition series that showcases contemporary ar t and culture projects in collaboration with peer ar tists from the Inland Empire.

Benefit amount: $1,500

Riverside Community PlayersAt a glance: RCP has been serving the community and providing quality, affordable theater every season since 1925, making it one of the oldest continually operating community theaters in the United States. CAP grant funds were used to provide reimbursement for transportation costs incurred when schools bring students to the Family Series School Shows at the theater. Mitigating these costs makes it easier, and in some cases even possible, for the schools to provide students the opportunity to see live theater.


Riverside Dickens FestivalAt a glance: The Dickens Festival is a series of literary events and performances, as well as workshops, lectures, exhibits, a street bazaar and costume ball all designed to celebrate the life and work of Charles Dickens. The festival’s proposal centered around funding for the continuation of “Oliver’s Alley.” The highly successful festival component offers children a unique entry into the Dickensian world, featuring games of that era, a nationally renowned storyteller and special performances, all free of charge.



UCR ARTSblockAt a glance: Composed of the UCR/California Museum of Photography, Sweeney Art Gallery and Culver Center of the Arts, UCR ARTSblock works to bring ambitious ar t exhibits and events to not only Riverside, but Southern California. Funding was requested for support of the podcast series, showcasing current exhibitions, collections and educational programming.


— Patrick Brien

Riverside Museum AssociatesAt a glance: The Riverside Metropolitan Museum is a center for learning and a community museum that collects, exhibits and interprets cultural and natural history, offering an understanding and appreciation of the region’s legacy. The Riverside Museum Associates is the nonprof it wing of this municipal entity. First Sundays is a series of programs providing families with free opportunities to par ticipate in hands-on ar t activities. The grant focused on the museum’s First Sundays programming.


Riverside Community Arts AssociationAt a glance: RCAA is a membership gallery open to ar tists from throughout the Inland Empire. It promotes the ar ts through exhibits and educational projects in schools, libraries and other cultural organizations. The project for which they requested funding is a cultural exchange with Jiangmen, China, featuring work by that city’s professional ar tists, as well as children.

Thrill-seekers of all ages are in for unlimited fun this summer now that Pharaoh’s Adventure Park in redlands has fully re-opened for business. The water and

amusement park that opened in 1996 closed in 2006 for a re-organization and only briefly re-opened in 2010 for a limited season.

The park’s president, Dave simon, says the entire entertainment park is better than ever and IS BACK to its original focus of bringing wholesome, family entertainment to the inland empire. it offers everything from The ie’s Only waterpark, splash kingdom, to a Fun park that includes go-karts, mini-golf, water bumper boats and the all new inflatable fun town for kids of all ages!

“We just couldn’t be happier to provide this type of entertainment to families again,” said simon. “And there’s literally something here for everyone. it’s really a great value all the way around.”

While there’s much to enjoy at Pharaoh’s Adventure Park, the water attractions in splash kingdom are by far the most popular attraction during the warmer weather.

Splash into fun1101 N. California Street, Redlands

11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Daily • 909-335-7275www.pharaohsadventurepark.com

Those who truly love adventure won’t want to miss Pharaoh’s revenge, a two-person, inline tube ride that reaches speeds of 40 mph and concludes with a 20-foot splash down run out.

if that’s not enough to send one’s heart racing, there’s always Pharaoh’s Falls Free Fall, a single-person body slide that takes the rider through a tunnel leading to a 70-foot free fall.

Other water slide attractions include: The Nile river, The riptide surf Pool, The Flusher, Fantasy island, The Tower of kings, The aNileator, The Wrath of ra, ramses rocket-speed slide, The lost Galaxy, The sphinx express, and The Forgotten lagoon.

“Moms really love the splash pool areas like Fantasy island because they can sit in the lounge chairs and keep an eye on their kids,” said simon. “The Nile river is popular, too. it’s a great attraction that the whole family can float on at the same time.” in between water slide rides, sports fans can take a break in the Upperdeck lounge.

According to simon, it is one of the biggest and best sports lounges in the inland empire. Fans can watch everything from pro football games to Major league Baseball to Nascar and the NBA. The action is seen on five,

15-foot hD projection screens, and one 35-foot screen. “The great thing about

the sports lounge is that it has leather couch premium seating along with table and stool seating throughout,” said simon. “That makes it possible to see all the screens from just about anywhere you sit. it’s a phenomenal viewing experience and everyone who comes in for the first time says it’s like something out of Vegas.” Beyond the sports lounge the waterpark and the family fun park, Pharaoh’s Adventure Park boasts a large video arcade with air hockey, games of chance and redemption and other competitive games. There’s also token gaming that allows customers to win great prizes.

While simon says patrons will never run out of fun at the park, they will most likely need to rest and re-fuel on some fine food at the Grand Pizza Buffet. The buffet is stocked daily with a number of fresh salads, soups, potato bar, pasta, nachos, and 10 varieties of pizza. For dessert, there are cakes, cookies, soft serve ice cream and other sweet treats. The cost is $9.99 for General Admission and $6.99 for junior admission, 48 inches tall and under.

The buffet and park facilities also host a great many Birthday parties. “We believe we have the best birthday entertainment facility anywhere with the multiple attractions, Arcade and the all new grand pizza buffet. We have special birthday party rooms, additional large hD screens for all the family and kids to view in the main dining room. Birthday packages start at an affordable $14.99 per person,” says simon. inside and upstairs of the of the main building Pharaoh’s has available large banquet rooms that can seat up to 400 people for groups, corporations, chamber mixers, proms, reunions, meetings and other events.

season passes to Pharaoh’s Adventure Park are available and include unlimited access to the water park, mini-golf and bumper boat rides. simon says rates may vary and can be found at the park’s website, www.pharaohsadventurepark.com splash down to unlimited family fun…at the ultimate water

playground and the ie’s greatest summer destination!

MEDICAL UPDATE

IE HEALTH CARE:HURTING, HEALING

Riverside Community Hospital

Riverside County Regional Medical Center


Written by Jerry Rice

The Inland empIre’s health-care system is ailing.It’s a diagnosis made after consulting many specialists, even for second opinions.

The condition was reached after years of growth — the two-county area added 970,000 residents in the past decade — while not enough has been done to meet increasing medical needs, observers say.

“There’s a general shortage of health care in the region,” said david stewart, dean of the school of Business administration and the a. Gary anderson Graduate school of management at UC riverside. “There’s a huge, huge shortage of primary-care physicians, and a shortage of many of the specialties as well.

“and when you don’t have the physicians, you don’t have the pressure being placed on agencies, private companies — what have you — to build more facilities.”

some of the potential pressure on local hospitals and health-care providers has been alleviated by the transient nature of Ie residents. Tens of thousands f ill the 91, 60 and 10 freeways every weekday en route to job sites in Orange and los angeles counties, making it much more convenient for them to schedule medical appointments in off ices closer to the workplace.

stewart has heard estimates that as many as four in 10 Ie residents who have medical insurance or the means to pay for their own health care see doctors out of the area.

“That means the dollars that might otherwise stay in the region and go toward building more facilities are in fact leaving and going elsewhere,” he said. “We tend to treat more of the indigent and uninsured here, and they’re simply unable to pay what’s necessary to facilitate the building of additional facilities.”

IE HEALTH CARE:HURTING, HEALING

Nearly a million new residents are stretching medical providers … Prescriptions that may lead to a cure are already being written

Kaiser Permanente Riverside Medical Center

Riverside Medical Clinic


W ith more people online and electronically

connected than ever before, riverside medical Clinic is taking advantage by launching my healthy Connection, a software program that creates a seamless link between doctors, nurses, staffers and patients — and key health-care information.

Patients may check test results from home or review a bill at anytime of the day or night. Physicians may send prescription orders to pharmacies or remotely check patient char t information.

“it gives patients the tools to better manage their own health care,” said Craig hunter, vice president of information technology for riverside medical Clinic and the program’s co-sponsor with Lynette Anthony,

vice president of business operations.

“We try to have one-stop shopping for our patients,” Anthony said. “We want to make sure we have all the bells and whistles we need to provide the kind of care they need.”

the integrated software system was scheduled to go live Aug. 1 on the clinic’s website, riversidemedicalclinic.com. it is expected to enhance physicians’ ability to provide quality care by having information immediately available to them and allowing them to connect patient health information to other providers electronically.

the project star ted in 2008 when rmC star ted researching software vendors, eventually choosing Wisconsin-based ePiC Computer Systems. the goal

was to meet Affordable Care Act requirements for an integrated system for seamless communication.

Using my healthy Connection, doctors and nurses can access patient information immediately and remotely by computer, cellphone, iPad or other mobile devices.

Patients may see lab or test results, view immunization summaries, make appointments, review statements, ask their doctor questions, and receive emailed notif ications of new test results or appointment reminders, among other things.

Loma Linda University medical Center in February star ted welcoming patients to its new 256,000-square-foot hospital in murrieta, Kaiser Permanente is set to open a 386,000-square-foot medical center in ontario on Nov. 1, and the company is on track to replace its existing Fontana hospital with a 490,000-square-foot facility in 2014.

And that’s not all.Perhaps most notable is march

LifeCare, a health and wellness destination planned for 150 acres near the intersection of the 215 and 60 freeways. the project is envisioned as “the mayo Clinic of the West,” with

a 550-bed hospital, cancer center and continuing care retirement community included in its combined building space of 3.55 million square feet. A f inal map showing where all of the buildings and infrastructure will go recently won unanimous approval from the march Joint Powers Authority, the board that is overseeing use of the land that previously was par t of an Air Force base.

march LifeCare developer Don ecker will next take the specif ic plan amendment to the JPA’s meeting on

Aug. 3 for consideration. Also in the works for this fall, a design summit facilitated by former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown will include key stakeholders and par tners in the project.

that’s gaining support to create a health-care campus on 200 acres near the Riverside County Regional Medical Center in Moreno Valley.

Coupled with Kaiser’s Moreno Valley Community Hospital adjacent to the property, Kaiser’s plan to open a 74,000-square-foot medical off ice building nearby plus the county facility, the new campus would create a second expansive medical corridor in the city.

Existing structures also are undergoing extensive work to better handle growing health-care needs and improve patient experiences.

Kaiser, for example, has invested heavily in its 101-bed Moreno Valley hospital since acquiring it in 2008. The company has purchased new medical equipment, converted the facility to its electronic medical records program and completed cosmetic upgrades throughout.

At Kaiser’s Riverside campus on Magnolia Avenue, an 11-bed labor-delivery-recovery-postpar tum expansion was recently completed, and a neo-natal

intensive care unit expansion is planned for this fall, at a combined cost of about $10 million. This year and next, another $34 million is being spent on a variety of maintenance projects including replacing the telemetry patient monitoring equipment and nurse-call system, upgrading the emergency power system and installing new air-handling equipment.

“Kaiser is not-for-prof it, so we always try to re-invest back in our facilities, making sure we have the right level of technology and the right buildings to meet our members’ needs,” said Vita M. Willett, executive director of the Kaiser Foundation. “We make capital investments every year. We don’t want our equipment and systems to fail, so the maintenance of our buildings has always been a priority.”

Riverside Community Hospital also is making signif icant investments in both the facility and new medical technology. A helicopter landing pad opened in December, providing quicker access to the hospital during emergencies; the

latest generation of robotic surgical systems, the da Vinci Si, was recently purchased to treat patients with prostate cancer or who need hysterectomies; and in late September or early October a Stereotaxis magnetic robot was expected to make its debut.

After the arrival of the Stereotaxis unit, which will mostly be used for patients with atrial f ibrillation, RCH will have the most technologically advanced electrophysiology lab in Southern California, says Cherie Russell, hospital spokeswoman.

“A lot of people drive to Los Angeles because they think that’s where the latest state-of-the-ar t technology is,” she said. “But really, Riverside Community Hospital has it right here in their backyard. They no longer have to travel far distances for those kinds of procedures. They can have it done right here.”

Riverside Medical Clinic also is moving forward, launching an initiative that will better connect patients with their doctors. (Continues on Page 26)

If you have a heart for service and a head for details, you may be a perfect candidate for star ting a career

in the allied health f ield, according to Dr. Charles D. Sands, dean of the College of allied health at California Baptist university in Riverside.

Seven baccalaureate-level degrees in the f ield of allied health from the

departments of Kinesiology (the study of human anatomy, physiology and body movements) and health Science are offered at CBu.

The degrees in health Science are health education,

communication disorders, health-care administration, pre-physical therapy, health science and clinical health science. The Department of Kinesiology offers bachelor’s and master’s degrees in kinesiology and a master’s degree in athletic training.

Graduates from both programs also will have the chance to pursue graduate-level studies and master’s or doctoral programs in medicine, dental, public health, physical therapy, health-care administration, optometry, speech pathology, gerontology and other f ields.

“There is a signif icant shortage of health-care providers in the Inland empire,” said Sands, who was appointed last year to his position. “We hope to create more jobs and teach students at the highest level whether they’re on the bed side or the business side. This is the hallmark that drives us forward.”

More than 340 students are enrolled for the fall semester, and Sands anticipates that number will increase by the star t of the term on Sept. 7. Three

new scholarships are available.“We are very excited about our

potential to have a positive impact on local health care,” said Sands, who holds a Ph.D. in public health from the university of alabama at Birmingham. “That means offering excellent training with a new way of looking at how illnesses are treated. It takes a team of

health-care professionals — doctors, nurses, therapists, technicians — to provide for the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the community.”

Taking the next step(Continued from Page 24)

While investments in new structures and equipment are important, UCR’s Stewart says that alone won’t be enough to declare a recovery for the IE’s health-care needs.

“Just building the facilities without having health-care providers is not a full solution,” he said, adding that what also matters is the number of doctors — and the IE doesn’t have enough of them.

The appropriate number of primary care physicians is 60 to 80 per 100,000 people, according to Dr. G. Richard Olds, founding dean of the proposed medical school at UC Riverside. While the state of California has 59 doctors per 100,000 residents, Inland Southern California has an average of about 40.

“When you get into that kind of shortage, the quality of your health care goes down, and the costs go up,” Olds said. “Patients don’t get their medical problems taken care of, and they end up

landing in emergency rooms where they get expensive and not very good maintenance care.”

One solution for alleviating the doctor shortage is opening the UCR medical school, which will keep highly qualif ied medical students here in the community, plus attract top-notch students from elsewhere, Olds says. “The two drivers of where doctors practice are where they come from and where they f inish their training.”

The medical school suffered a setback in the 2011-12 state budget. It was denied $10 million in funding to open, which led to accreditation by the national Liaison Committee on Medical Education being put on hold. The result: a planned opening for summer 2012 will be delayed at least a year.

“I’ve already star ted trying to develop non-state support for the medical school,” Olds said. “We’ve received signif icant support from the county, and it’s going to need signif icant support

from other entities. But we need to keep pressing the state, because the state really needs to support this.”

Stewart suggested another way to work toward reducing the shortage of doctors.

“If we really get serious about solving the problem, we would actually be creating incentives for physicians to relocate to the region,” he said. “There are many different kinds of incentives that you could offer — direct compensation, star t-up bonuses.

“In addition to economic incentives, we need to do a better job of telling our story about why this region is an attractive place to live and work,” he continued. “A physician isn’t coming just because they’re highly compensated. They’re likely relocating their family here. They want to know about the schools and the cultural amenities. I actually think we have a pretty good story to tell, but we haven’t done a par ticularly good job of telling it.”

Although she is only 30, Riverside County attorney Kira Klatchko has the experience, credentials and accolades of someone twice her age.

Along with being a senior associate and appellate law specialist for Best Best & Krieger in indian Wells, she has served three terms as chair of the Riverside County Bar Association Appellate section and was named to the 2009 and 2010 list of super lawyers Rising stars for southern California.

And she is the only cer tif ied appellate law specialist in Riverside County, a distinction reserved for a select group of attorneys.

“in my opinion, Kira was born to be a lawyer,” said Justice Manuel Ramirez, who works closely with Klatchko at the Riverside Court of Appeal. “she is the consummate attorney and professional and gifted on every level.”

While Klatchko is grateful for her success, there is something far greater about what she does that makes her feel like the luckiest person on the planet.

“every day, i have the opportunity to help our clients solve extremely complex problems when the deck is stacked against them,” she said.

A higher barBorn to a legal family, appellate specialist prizes helping clients in complex cases

Attorney Kira Klatchko stands outside the fourth District Court of Appeal in riverside. Klatchko is a senior associate at Best Best & Krieger and an appelate law specialist.


“And we give them a chance to be heard, which is so important for anyone who goes to court. That is why I signed up for this and why I love what I do.”

Klatchko was born and raised in Palm Springs, where her parents practiced law for 37 years at their f irm, Klatchko & Klatchko.

She learned a lot about the legal system simply by listening closely to dinner-table conversations. As a teen, she worked her parents’ off ice after school, organizing books in their law library.

Over time, Klatchko grew more and more interested in pursuing law as a career.

After high school, she earned her bachelor’s in political science at UC Berkeley and went on to earn her juris doctorate at UC Davis, where she served as editor-in-chief of the university’s Journal of Juvenile Law

& Policy. She also acted as a teaching assistant in legal research and civil procedure.

After law school, Klatchko began practicing law in the family f irm. She took a position with Best Best & Krieger in 2004.

In addition to her work as an appellate attorney, Klatchko is a volunteer mediator at the Fourth Appellate District, Division Two, and conducts private mediations as par t of the Riverside County Court’s Civil Mediation Panel.

She serves as an adjunct professor at La Verne College of Law, where she teaches legal writing. Klatchko also enjoys cooking, reading and traveling in her spare time.

“As a mediator, it’s very satisfying to facilitate an agreement between two opposing par ties,” she said.

“There was one case that I was

involved in where two siblings were f ighting over their deceased parent’s estate. They hadn’t spoken in years, but I was able to help them come to a reconciliation and agree to star t communicating again. That was amazing.”

With all that Klatchko has accomplished, she says there is still much to do.

Not only is she looking to expand her practice by taking on new and different kinds of cases, but she also will continue to look for opportunities to impact her community in positive, exciting and challenging ways.

“I have already accomplished so many things that I wanted to,” said Klatchko, a volunteer for the Angel View Crippled Children’s Foundation in Desert Hot Springs.

“So truthfully, if I can keep doing what I’m doing, I won’t have any complaints.”

symbolize riverside’s beginnings, and are well-loved today.

Orange trees have an important role in Arlington Heights’ past, present and — hopefully — future

bicyclists enjoy a ride along historic Victoria Avenue, which is lined with trees, roses and orange groves and dates back to 1892. it also is listed on the national register of historic Places.

“Arlington Heights is the meeting place for the riverside of yesterday and the riverside of today,” states the city’s website in a description of the neighborhood.

that couldn’t be more true. Housing tracts and commercial nurseries have popped up in and around Arlington Heights, but riverside’s residents have preserved the area’s semi-rural way of life from days gone by, leading a successful effor t to keep housing density low and developers at bay. only one house can be built on a lot of f ive acres or more in most of Arlington Heights. And you can still buy a bag of fresh, locally grown oranges or lemons from a few corner stands.

Councilman Chris Mac Arthur, who represents Ward 5, which includes Arlington Heights, fully appreciates the area’s citrus heritage. Actually, he lives in the midst of it — on f ive acres in a house that was built in 1897, and he grows juicy navels on another 10 acres.

“it was the orange that made riverside famous,” he said.

100,000 TREES10 Years of Tree Power


M. Hebbard Mac Arthur with his son, Riverside Councilman Chris Mac Arthur

Mac Arthur and his family still enjoy the lifestyle, but others couldn’t make a go of it and let their orchards die off, leaving a smattering of vacant lots.

“It’s tough being a citrus farmer; you’ve got to have another source of income,” he said.

Mac Arthur’s 96-year-old father, M. Hebbard Mac Arthur, is a retired dentist who bought his f irst grove in 1946 and has been in the citrus business for 65 years. To this day, he enjoys driving a small pickup truck around to inspect the orchards.

Preserving the agricultural heritage is important to many people in Riverside, not just Arlington Heights growers and residents.

Retired Riverside County Judge Dallas Holmes was a

co-creator of Proposition R, a measure city voters passed in 1979 to save scenic Victoria Avenue from development. As a bonus, the measure also limited growth and housing density in Arlington Heights.

Prop. R essentially was a rezoning measure for Victoria Avenue and Arlington Heights from Washington Street to the city limits with Corona, a large area that today still has about 5,000 acres of active citrus orchards.

“There’s nothing like that in the country today, in any city,” Holmes said. “It’s a unique amenity for Riverside, and it’s unequalled anywhere else in the country.”

Victoria Avenue, a nearly nine-mile scenic parkway created in 1892, is perhaps the best-known

icon specif ic to the neighborhood, and is cherished by many. The lushly landscaped, two-lane divided roadway is a popular place for locals to take a bike ride or leisurely stroll.

“I walk my dogs down Victoria Avenue, and I usually take a visiting judge or somebody down from town to see it when we have guests,” Holmes said.

Victoria Avenue is a city Cultural Heritage Landmark and also is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The landmark portion runs from the Tequesquite Arroyo to La Sierra Avenue.

Visitors pass thousands of trees, special gardens with ornamental plantings, rose bushes and an information kiosk. Trees include citrus, palms of different varieties, eucalyptus from Australia, f lowering jacaranda, pepper and magnolia. Many are more than 200 feet tall and tower over the street, shading the road and the front yards of homes that f lank its sides.

Victoria Avenue was created by Mathew Gage, a jeweler from Ireland who moved to Riverside in 1881 and developed the Gage Canal, which allowed for the Arlington Heights citrus groves to be planted.

Gage wanted to create a showcase parkway named for Britain’s Queen Victoria, to help promote land sales in the newly formed Arlington Heights, according to the preservation group Victoria Avenue Forever. He modeled

this two-way horse-and-buggy road after Riverside’s landmark Magnolia Avenue. Grading and planting began in 1892. In June 1902, Victoria Avenue was deeded to the city of Riverside.

Victoria Avenue Forever formed 20 years ago to help maintain and restore the avenue and its gardens, says Lori Yates, a retired master gardener and 15-year board member who has lived in Arlington Heights for 34 years.

Before Victoria Avenue Forever was organized, she adds, there had been several effor ts to protect the avenue because members felt the city’s effor ts were lacking and trees were dying from neglect.

City fathers are now on board, and, during the past few years, irrigation systems have been upgraded and 800 new orange trees have been planted along the avenue with

Riverside Renaissance funds.Keep Riverside Clean and

Beautiful, another volunteer group, helped do the planting and residents donated money to buy trees. New roses were planted too, and students, Scouts and volunteers pitched in to plant.

“Keeping a grove on the avenue is an act of love,” Yates said. “We should be very grateful to everyone who still does have a grove. You pray every spring you’ll see that grove harvested. As long as it’s irrigated, you know it will be there for another year.”

Holmes also hopes the Arlington Heights groves will grow forever, so future generations will be able to experience the living history.

Otherwise, he says, “There will be a time when people will ask, ‘Where do oranges come from?’”

More Arlington Heights highlights• The California Citrus State Historic Park, a citrus preserve with active groves and a visitor’s center outlining the history of citrus globally, also tells the story of Riverside’s citrus history. (Story on Page 39.)• The attractive Arlington Heights Sports Park, which opened in August 2010, pays homage to the area’s agricultural history. Interpretive panels at the park tell the story. A water feature that looks like an orange and a blue line at the park that imitates the Gage Canal are two of the features. Shade structures are named after Riverside places or pioneers, including John Gage, and lampposts are vintage-style. Three rows of orange trees line the park ’s perimeter, and interior buildings appear as if they came from a working citrus ranch circa 1880 or 1890. Storage containers near the baseball f ields look like packing containers.



Forget school. If you or your kids want to learn about local history and the industry that put riverside on the world map, visit the california citrus state historic Park, a unique park with a museum and working citrus groves that is literally

in riverside’s backyard.Many people never seem to f ind the time to visit the museums

or historic places in their own cities, f iguring they’ll get there someday, right? this park is one gem riversiders don’t want to miss. It’s also a frequent f ield trip destination for school children from los Angeles and orange counties, as well as adult visitors from the Inland empire.

on a recent day, a group of 24 people from san Bernardino county visited with their church group. Dwight Flater of redlands was among the visitors and was delighted to tour the park ’s quaint history museum for the f irst time.

“they have a nice museum and a good tour. the docent was knowledgeable,” Flater said. “We need to learn about our cities. this is a good outing, and it’s interesting.

“Unfortunately the orange groves are disappearing. The land is all being bought by developers for houses.”

That won’t happen at this park, as long as the state of California owns this property, which includes about 300 acres with healthy groves that are home to about 70 varieties of citrus, including oranges, grapefruit, lemons and limes.

This state park is not among those slated for closure due to budget cuts, although the hours here were scaled back a few years ago temporarily due to the budget def icit.

The park is again open seven days a week, and the museum is open on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

California Citrus State Historic Park opened in 1993 as a living historical museum showcasing Riverside’s citrus industry heritage.

The groves are managed by a nonprof it corporation in par tnership with the Gless Ranch.

About 60 percent of the revenues from the sale of the citrus go back to the nonprof it and the park. “A lot of it goes to the water bill,” said Shera McDonald, park ranger.

Visitors can walk the grounds, see the orchards, enjoy a picnic and see an

old-fashioned grower’s house on the property. The well-landscaped Sunkist Center on the grounds is available for wedding, par ty and special event rentals.

Between January and May, guests can also enjoy bird watching with a park guide on the third Sunday of the month.

Timelines and artifacts trace Riverside’s citrus history at the park’s museum.

Smudge pots dot the landscape at the California Citrus State Historic Park.


“The trees are bare so you can really see the birds,” McDonald said.

Another fun event held at the park twice each year, usually in February and March, is citrus sampling.

Rangers and docents prepare about 30 different types of citrus samples for guests, many of whom like what they taste so much that they go out and buy a new citrus tree to plant at home, McDonald says.

A key educational feature at the park is the museum, which presents the history of citrus globally and locally along a timeline with interesting exhibits and murals.

The f irst thing visitors see when they enter is a display of large, historic photos of citrus workers and local landowners. Workers were of many ethnicities, from Chinese to Japanese to Latino. Also on display are old smudge pots that were used in the early 1900s to heat the air in the groves when temperatures dipped below freezing.

Exhibits trace citrus from its beginnings

in Southern China and Myanmar to the Americas and Riverside, where Eliza Tibbets founded the Riverside citrus industry when she planted the f irst Washington navel orange trees in Riverside in 1873.

“The f irst two or three zips are what we call ‘ground school,’ where you really get comfortable with the sensation of zip-lining,” Stamps said.

It ramps up from there, with one of the 10 lines extending 1,500 feet and more than 250 feet off the ground. Guests also cross three sky bridges and go down three rappels, including one through a pine tree.

In addition to the thrills and 360-degree views, guides will pause the tour to talk about the natural habitat — the towering white f ir, Ponderosa, Jeffrey and sugar pine, and the wildlife that includes black bear, mule deer, bobcat, mountain lion and a variety of birds.

The experience lasts four to four and a half hours, and is situated on par t of a 300-acre retreat near the Angeles National Forest. The property is an amazing place for a zip line, Stamps says.

“It has about 1,200 feet of ver tical elevation, and there are absolutely gigantic pine trees, some in excess of 100 feet tall. When you get up to the top of the mountain, you’ve got long-range views of the Mojave Desert and the very southern extent of the Sierra Nevada.”

The canopy tours — which star ted July 1 — are running daily about every hour from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. As the experience is f ine-tuned, tours may be able to star t as often as every 20 minutes, accommodating many more adventure-seekers. Saturday and Sunday slots tend to f ill up faster than those during the week, but no matter when

Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville, N.C. Last year, USA Today called it one of the top 10 zip lines in the country. Wrightwood deserves serious consideration for the next survey.

“It is a spectacular, epic canopy tour,” Stamps said. “In terms of the ruggedness of the territory, the design of the platforms, the size of the trees, and the length and height of the zip line, this is probably one of the biggest, if not the biggest tour in North America. I hate to say something like that because I can’t back it up with any kind of empirical knowledge, but intuitively I think it’s one of the biggest in the country.”

Written by amy bentley

Mount everestPhoto by steve Reneker


Mountain cliMbing has been an exhilarating and, on occasion, a bittersweet

passion for Steve Reneker.in 1995, the veteran climber

achieved a dream when he and a group of fellow climbers reached the top of Mount Everest, the world’s highest peak.

“on top is a view that is out of this world,” Reneker said. “You can see the curvature of the world and look deep inside india, china and nepal. You are up so high, most clouds are thousands of feet below you.”

Reneker experienced the thrill of the climb again last year through a family friend, Jordan Romero of big bear lake, who at age 13 became the youngest person to reach the Everest summit. Reneker has known Jordan for years, and worked with his parents on the national Ski Patrol, a volunteer mountain rescue group for which Reneker runs a mountaineering program.

to help Jordan, Reneker shared details of his own Everest climb. He gave Jordan advice and daily weather reports, and loaned his group some gear. Reneker also provided encouragement as others questioned whether a 13-year-old should even be making such a dangerous climb.

“Even though you are young, you can do this,” Reneker told Jordan.

“He’s got his dad as a mentor; he’s an ultra athlete.”

For his par t, Reneker has reached the tallest peaks on f ive of the seven continents, but has no immediate plans to climb the last two: Vinson Massif in antarctica and carstensz Pyramid in indonesia. today, he favors climbing “the big three” closer to home — the tallest peaks in the local mountains, each over 10,000 feet in elevation. they are San gorgonio Mountain, Mount baldy and San Jacinto Peak.

Mountaineering is a passion for Reneker, 50, the chief information off icer for the city of Riverside and the executive director for SmartRiverside, a nonprof it organization that provides free wireless internet connections in Riverside and provides low-income families with free personal computers and internet service.

climbing the world’s tallest peaks

is not for the physically or mentally weak. Dozens of climbers have died along the way, their remains left on the mountains, some in plain view of future climbers.

one of those who perished was Reneker’s close friend, Dave tollakson of Studio city, a veteran climber who accidentally fell to his death during a 1994 training climb on Mount San Jacinto. Reneker was with tollakson that day, and found

‘On top is a view that is out of this world. You can see the curvature of the world and look deep inside India, China and Nepal. You are up so high, most clouds are thousands of feet below you.’

his friend mortally injured. A year later, Reneker carried Tollakson’s ashes to Mount Everest so Tollakson could complete the climb.

With so much danger and hard work, what’s the reward for Reneker?

“The reason for me to climb Everest is the challenge — it’s the highest point on Ear th,” he said. “When I graduated from

Ramona High School, a friend gave me a book called, ‘Everest the Hard Way.’ I never thought about it for real until about 10 years later, after I actually did some rock and ice climbing, then the story didn’t seem like a stretch.

“In any sport, there is always a goal of reaching the championship. For climbers, this is the ultimate climb.”

Training for high places

It takes years of training and a serious commitment to summit tall mountain peaks and condition the body to handle oxygen-poor high altitudes.

To prepare for a 1995 climb up Mount Everest, Steve Reneker trained for two years. He jogged every morning; in the afternoons, he hit the gym and the Stairmaster at level 10 for 45 minutes with a heavy pack on his back to strengthen his legs and calves. Also, he often went climbing in the Sierras, reaching a 14,000-foot peak for practice.

Reneker’s advice to anyone considering a major climb: Complete other big climbs f irst, hike on the ice, learn to use mountaineering equipment and camp in the snow to get accustomed to the cold.

“Choose a team you can be compatible with,” he added. “You have to be in the best shape of your life, and you have to be mentally prepared for it.”

Benedict CastleDesignated a historic landmark by the

city of Riverside, Benedict Castle has been a popular place for couples to get hitched since 1971. The castle’s combination of Spanish-Moorish and Mission Revival architecture was created by Charles Benedict, who was inspired

by many of the castles he had seen in Europe.

Benedict Castle, which opened in 1931, is a one-of-a-kind destination that offers a variety of wedding packages for every budget, says event coordinator Ardee Kowalski. The castle’s auditorium seats up to 180 guests, and the outside

Mission Inn Hotel & SpaWhen the likes of Ronald and Nancy

Besides the St. Francis chapel, couples can opt to wed in the Inn’s Oriental Courtyard or in the St. Celia Chapel. Pricing for these locations star ts at $1,000.

“The dramatic backdrops are one-of-a-kind, and the vast collection of ar t is imported from Europe,” Luengas said. “You will feel as though you were married in Italy or France.”

The Inn, which is considered the largest Mission-Revival style building in the United States, star ted as a two-story, 12-room adobe boarding house called the Glenwood Cottage. It was constructed in 1876 by civil engineer Christopher Columbus Miller. His son, Frank, changed the name to the Mission Inn in 1902.

TasTe

Creative Combinations, generous portions set table for two apart

Written by Allan BorgenPhotos by Gabriel Luis Acosta

When Table for Two restaurant opened some 14 years ago, the whole face of Thai cuisine in the Inland Empire changed. Until then, all of the other Thai restaurants served pretty much the same traditional dishes.

Here’s what makes this restaurant so unique: the delicious creative combinations of spices and ingredients, beautiful plate presentations and bigger than average portions.

Under the guidance of sisters Alexis, Jenny and Vantanee Surachutikarn, this popular restaurant offers diners a multitude of delicious Thai dishes in a “hip,” classy and relaxing environment that adds to the dining experience.

The “Bangkok style” dishes also include popular family recipes that their mother and brother contributed, along with creative additions from Jenny who oversees the kitchen. Jenny was a former food and beverage secretary at the Royal Bangkok Sports Club for nine years and learned a lot about food, service and catering. When talking to the sisters, it is apparent that they strive for perfection in the food, service and consistency, and expect each dish to be beautifully plated to dazzle the senses. All of the items are made fresh

on the premises with no shortcuts taken.For star ters, I recommend the winter

shrimp ($10.50), which offers a great example of the creativity found with each dish. It consists of f ive large shrimp placed in the center of a wonton skin, squeezed into a small pocket to gently hold them in place, deep fried until crisp, and topped with diced green onion, red onion and a light sweet and sour sauce and garnished with pineapple.

The wontons are not folded up like most, but are presented as large squares giving this dish a special visual appeal.

Another distinctive dish is the pumpkin curry ($11.95), which has large chunks of Japanese pumpkin with chicken and shrimp happily swimming in a delicious robust red curry chili sauce made with coconut milk and f ish sauce, onions and garlic. It is absolutely delicious and goes well with the brown rice. Diners also may request steamed Jasmine rice.

Next came the delightful fusion of a popular American dish, New York steak and shrimp ($16.95). This dish features a nice grilled 7-ounce New York steak served on a bed of shredded cabbage

and topped with a red wine ginger sauce and a skewer

with three large

succulent shrimp with red and green bell peppers, eggplant and pineapple. It tastes as good as it looks.

The chef ’s special ground chicken ($12.99) and garlic pepper pork ($16.95) were in the next f light of dishes that I sampled.

The chef ’s special chicken is presented on a long plate with three compartments that are f illed with a fantastic tasting North Thai herbed chicken in a sweet chili paste sauce served with brown rice and a deep-fried hardboiled egg. The chicken is excellent and marries well with the brown rice, while the hardboiled egg adds a touch of authenticity to this traditional Thai dish.

The garlic pepper pork features lots of deep-fried crispy pork with a marvelous pungent garlicky black pepper sauce, four crispy fried wontons,

a skewer of chicken satay with two dipping sauces and two fried shrimp. I loved this dish as well as the other goodies added to it.

Rounding out my sampling of food was the unique pungent steamed ginger chicken ($12.95), with slices of steamed chicken breast served with a soy and ginger chili dipping sauce with garlic and ginger rice and a cup of a delicate fresh spinach soup. This is a perfect dish for those wanting a light and healthy entree.

Other dishes that I’ve had in the past and are worth ordering include the stir-fried snow peas with cabbage, bean sprouts, beef and scallops ($12.95); the spicy bamboo chicken ($10.95); and the always popular pad Thai noodles with chicken and shrimp ($10.75).

For desser t, be sure to order the fresh mango with sticky rice when it’s available. This dish epitomizes what Thai cuisine is all about.

Table for Two is without a doubt one of the premier Thai restaurants in the area, and one restaurant that should not be overlooked.

Before opening Mommie Helen’s Bakery, Rose worked at Pacif ic 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 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 and her staff of f ive 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 diff icult for Rose to pinpoint exactly what makes her desser ts 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. “Although the 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.

Mi Cocina Restaurant

... to better barbecue

Written by allan borgen

Grills and smokers are an important par t of the inland empire landscape — especially during the summer.

as a way to celebrate the outdoor season, Jeff Williams, my co-host on the “let’s

dine out” radio show on kTie-am 590, and i recently invited some lucky listeners to join us for the third annual let’s dine out BBQ Bash.

as avid foodies — i have more than 1,000 cookbooks and nearly every cooking gadget available — we go all-out for these events.

For the appetizer, we made stuffed cheese smoked jalapeño peppers wrapped in bacon. The entrees were two racks of hickory-smoked spareribs, 12 special hot dogs, freshly made Polish sausages and some huge stuffed turkey burgers.

side dishes included wonderful sweet and spicy “doctored” beans, burnt buttered corn and for desser t, baked peach cobbler.

of all the smokers and grills that i own, my favorite is the Big Green egg. This cult-like appliance does an outstanding job of smoking, grilling, barbecuing and baking, using lump charcoal as its fuel. shaped like an egg, the thick ceramic interior is the perfect medium to ref lect heat and create a steady temperature from 200 degrees up to 700 degrees.

i got my “egg” from outdoor kitchen Creations in

Upland. Besides being a Big Green egg distributor, the store sells lots of neat accessories including a variety of bulk wood chips or chunks that may be custom-mixed.

outdoor kitchen Creations also sells a new gadget that i enjoy using — the stufZ burger stuffer, which i use to make gigantic and delicious stuffed turkey burgers.

Preparing for a barbecue par ty can be as easy or as

complicated as you want it to be. Either way, it does take some planning. Here are f ive of my sure-f ire barbecue par ty tips.

1. It’s all about the guests and not about you. Ask in advance whether your guests have food allergies, special dietary needs (like being vegetarian), and likes and dislikes (such as spicy foods), and whether they eat pork, etc. It’s a nice and classy gesture, and shows your guests that you appreciate them. If there are only a few people who have special needs, it’s no big deal to cook a few extra things just for them.

2. Make sure there’s more than enough food. Running out can really put a damper on any par ty. I always double or even triple the recipes, so guests can take extra food home with them, or freeze the leftovers and enjoy them a few more times. This applies to both small and large par ties.

3. Not all recipes have to be

complicated. There is nothing wrong

with purchasing your favorite barbecue

sauce, baked beans and other items,

then adding favorite spices, condiments

or other items to make something new

and special. Be creative and don’t be

afraid to experiment.

4. Prepare as much food as possible

in advance. Leaving everything for the

big day can be stressful and often leads

to the host not spending much time

with the guests. To be honest, I don’t always follow that advice myself, but as I get older, I really want to sit as much as I can with my guests to enjoy the food and conversation.

5. It’s not necessary to serve only expensive items. Just make sure what you do serve tastes great and is exciting.

stuffed bacon-wrapped jalapeño peppersIngredients24 jalapeño or small sweet

Italian peppers16 ounces cream cheese1-2 packages bacon (1 slice

per pepper)4 ounces shredded

cheddar cheese4 ounces shredded pepper

jack cheese¾ cup chopped green onions(Consider adding chipotle

powder or cayenne to the cheese mixture for an extra spicy kick.)

DirectionsCut jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise. Seed and remove ribs with

a strawberry corer. (You may want to wear some food handler gloves.)Mix the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, pepper jack cheeses, and

the green onions. Fill both sides of the jalapeño with the cheese mixture and then place both sides together.

Wrap the peppers with a strip of bacon, starting on the narrow end, and secure with 1 or 2 toothpicks.

Bring the barbecue or oven to 325 degrees. Place a drip pan on the grill, and a raised grid/grill on top of that to avoid flare-ups from the bacon grease if cooking over charcoal. Cook approximately 45 minutes to an hour until the bacon is crisp, turning once 30 minutes into cooking. You may lose some of the cheese mixture but don’t fret, they still are terrific. You also can brush the outside of the bacon with a touch of honey for a touch of sweetness.

‘Doctored’ barbecue beans

Ingredients3 24-ounce cans of Bush’s beans

(remember, buying more than you need is OK)

¼ cup yellow mustard¼ cup molasses¼ cup chili sauce (add more or less

depending on your desired level of spiciness)

¼ cup brown sugar2 packages brown-and-serve

breakfast sausages, chopped or cut into small pieces

1 medium onion, chopped1 green bell pepper, chopped

DirectionsIn a large pot, add a little oil,

chopped onions, bell peppers and sausage. Sauté until the sausage and other ingredients are slightly brown. Add the beans, and stir.

Add the mustard, molasses and chili sauce. Mix well and put on low heat. Do not cover. Stir every 5 minutes so the beans won’t burn. Taste often and add more sugar, mustard, molasses or chili sauce, if needed. Serve beans when they are warm.

Peach cobbler a la BorgenIngredientsFor the filling1 29-ounce can sliced peaches

to 1 cup sugar2 tablespoons corn starch2 tablespoons butter½ tablespoon cinnamon¼ cup rum (optional)

DirectionsHeat the oven to 400 degrees.

Drain fruit and reserve liquid. Mix sugar and corn starch in saucepan. Stir in fruit juice gradually, then bring to boil. Boil 1 minute, stirring

constantly. Add the peaches and pour into a 1½ quart (9-by-13-inch) baking dish. Dot with butter, sprinkle with cinnamon.

For the topping1 cup self-rising flour1 tablespoon sugar3 tablespoons shortening½ cup milk

Mix flour and sugar, cut in shortening. Add milk. Stir until ingredients are blended. Spoon the dough onto the peaches. Bake 25-30 minutes. Serve warm.

Heart health is an issue that’s literally near and dear to the heart of Victoria hecht.

the award-winning competitive ice skater from riverside was born with a hole in her hear t and a second condition in which her pulmonary vein was backing up into her heart instead of her lung, reducing her hear t’s ability to pump blood by half.

When Victoria was 6, a routine check-up revealed the problems that earlier had been misdiagnosed as asthma, so she had immediate surgery to f ix both conditions. She has been f ine ever since — and breathing much easier.

On Sept. 10, she’ll swap her ice skates for a pair of walking shoes and join others at Fairmount Park for

Off the ice, a walk in the park

the 2011 Inland empire heart Walk,

an american heart association benef it. “I’m a heart surgery

survivor, and have always enjoyed helping the heart association with their events and walks,” said Victoria, 18, an american

heart association Junior ambassador. “I tell people my story and hope to inspire them.

I’m very lucky.”a 2010-11 hungarian champion in pairs skating

who now represents the United States in qualifying competitions for singles and pairs at the senior level,

Victoria star ted ice skating when she was 5 as therapy.“She couldn’t do any outdoor sports. She struggled with

it because she was medicated,” and she also had trouble breathing, said Yolanda hecht, her mother. hecht added that

her daughter never could have come so far in skating without the procedure to correct her hear t defects.

after the surgery, Victoria’s stamina increased, and she could breathe easier. She also stays f it and eats well.

Victoria says taking par t in the heart Walk was an easy choice. “It’s a great event for everyone because anyone can par ticipate. It’s a great cause.”the walk is the american heart association’s

premier event for raising funds to f ight america’s No. 1 and No. 3 killers — heart disease and stroke,

which claim an estimated 865,000 americans every year.
