Kenny G has long been the musician many jazz listeners love to hate. A phe-nomenally successful instrumentalist whose recordings make the pop charts, hissound has been a staple on adult contemporary and smooth jazz radio stationssince the mid-'80s, making him a household name. He began playing profession-ally with Barry White’s Love Unlimited Orchestra in 1976.

Kenny G’s fourth album, “Duotones,” (which included the very popular“Songbird”), made him into a star. Soon he was in demand for guest appearanceson recordings of such famous singers as Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston andNatalie Cole.

Extensive scientific research demonstrates thatmany of the chronic diseases of aging can beprevented or successfully treated by adopting ahealthy lifestyle. Dr. Kenneth Browning, a

Riverside physician, is a pioneer and an expert in thisexciting new healthcare specialty. He has helped hun-dreds of people regain control of their health naturallyby guiding them through a specialized program of thera-peutic lifestyle changes known as FirstLine Therapy.

This course of care is considered by leading healthorganizations to be the “first-line” treatment option forconditions such as: heart disease, diabetes, high bloodpressure, high cholesterol, stroke, metabolic syndrome,osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, stress-related disorders,fatigue, and much more.

Over the last five years, Dr. Browning’s FirstLineTherapy program has proven to be unique and veryeffective. It addresses the underlying causes of chronic ill-ness by incorporating a sensible eating plan, appropriateexercise, personalized nutritional supplementation, andstress management.

It is not just a weight loss program; it improves bodycomposition (the ratio of muscle to fat). A higher ratioof muscle increases metabolism and is associated with alower incidence of illness. Improving the muscle-to-fatratio is perhaps the most powerful tool in controlling theaging process and restoring vitality.

The nutrition plan is different; it recommends aneffective, low-glycemic eating plan and is consistent withcurrent scientific research. It also incorporates medicalfoods and nutritional supplements. These can improvepatient compliance, enhance program effectiveness, andshorten the time it takes to achieve health goals.

Dr. Browning’s FirstLine Therapy program engendersgreat confidence from his patients because of its provensuccess. Many health care professionals also hold it inhigh esteem as Dr. Browning is a sought after speakerand teacher to medical groups and health organizations.

Surrogacy is an act of love, onemother making it possible foranother person to become aparent. A Surrogate carries a

child for a couple or individual whocannot carry a pregnancy. There are avariety of reasons why a woman maynot be able to carry a pregnancy in herown uterus and the couples and indi-viduals who seek the help of a surrogatehave tried everything.

The baby is usually created by unit-ing the intended mother’s egg (thoughit could be a donor’s egg) and intendedfather’s sperm through In VitroFertilization (IVF). The embryos are then transferredto the uterus of the surrogate in a quick and painlessprocess. After the transfer, the surrogate will take it easyfor a few days but can quickly return to her normalactivities.

All surrogates must be screened carefully to makesure they are making a well thought-out, mature deci-sion. At Surrogate Parenting Services, founder Cristie

Montgomery visits the surrogate in herhome to explain the details of surrogacy.Each surrogate candidate meets with anexperienced psychologist to help herthink through her decision to be a sur-rogate. In 17 years, Surrogate ParentingServices has never had a surrogate try tokeep the baby. The surrogate’s joycomes from helping the couple to buildtheir family.

Surrogacy is not for everyone, butfor those who love being pregnant andthrive on the joy they can bring to oth-ers, it is often as much a blessing tothem as it is to the couple they help.

“Our greatest endorsement is the fact that more thanhalf of our surrogates return to work with us again,”Montgomery said. “When you work with SPS, you aretreated like family and join a sisterhood of wonderful,unique women with hearts as big as your own.”

Enjoy some fine wines while helping aworthy cause. Tickets are on sale nowfor the 20th Annual Wine and FoodUnder the Stars event that has raised

more than $164,000 for nursing scholarshipsover the past seven years, which will be held onThursday, Oct. 11, from 6 to 9pm at theNational Orange Show in San Bernardino.

The event is sponsored through a partner-ship between the foundations of the NationalOrange Show (NOS) and St. BernardineMedical Center (SBMC).

Some of the finest vineyards in the PacificRim and restaurants throughout the InlandEmpire will offer sumptuous fare for the 500people expected to attend this year’s event.

In addition to a variety of fine wine andfood, the event calls attention to the ongoingnationwide nursing shortage that is particularlyacute here in California, which is ranked thelowest of all 50 states in the number of nursesper 100,000 population. Worse yet, the InlandEmpire’s figure is below average withinCalifornia. Yet, the NOS/SBMC partnership ismaking a difference. Overall, the SBMC med-ical careers promotion program has awarded 93

scholarships, 35 of them funded bythe jointly sponsored annual Wineand Food event.

“The impact of this now seven-year partnership between our twofoundations has been to providescholarships for almost three dozenarea young people who want topursue careers as registered nurses,”SBMC Foundation chairman TomBrickley said. “Without this part-nership, these young people mightvery well have been denied theopportunity to become nurses, anddenying the community their talent and caringfor decades to come.”

“Wine and Food Under the Stars is TheNational Orange Show Foundation’s stellar con-tribution to the Inland Empire,” NOSFoundation chairman Wilfrid C. Lemann said.“Since its inceptions nearly two decades ago,The National Orange Show Foundation haddistributed hundreds of thousands of dollars toaspiring nurses in Inland Area college programs.We now have practicing nurses serving localhealth care facilities who would otherwise not

be there but for the success of Wine and FoodUnder the Stars. (WFUS) and the scholarshipassistance provided as a direct result of theannual wine and food tasting event. The brain-child of Martin Matich and Bill Leonard, TheNational Orange Show Foundation is an Inlandinstitution serving Southern California for near-ly 100 years.”

Elizabeth Pitcairn performs atthe San Bernardino Symphony

Virtuoso violinistElizabethPitcairn has

earned a celebrated reputation as oneof America’s most beloved rising soloists.

She has performed concertos with the NewYork String Orchestra at Lincoln Center and thePhiladelphia Orchestra at the Academy ofMusic. Pitcairn performs in partnership withthe legendary "Red Mendelssohn" Stradivarius

of 1720, said to have inspired the film TheRed Violin.

You can experience the magic of Pitcairn’splaying at the San Bernardino Symphony on

Sept. 29 at 8:15pm at the first performanceof the 2007-2008 season, “Magnificent

Mahler.” Pitcairn will once again grace theCalifornia Theatre, performing Mozart’sgenial Third Violin Concerto. Then sitback and experience the monumental

sounds of Gustav Mahler’s FourthSymphony, featuring acclaimed soprano soloistLisa Delan.

Pitcairn performed the Southern California

premiere of The Red Violin Chaconne byAcademy Award-winning composer JohnCorigliano. Later, upon hearing Pitcairn perform,Corigliano said, “Elizabeth Pitcairn is a beautifulpresence in my Chaconne with a performancethat is very much her own.”

Born into a musical family in Bucks County,Pennsylvania - her mother is an accomplishedJulliard-trained cellist and her father trained tobe an opera singer - she started studying the vio-lin at age three and made her solo debut withorchestra at age 14. In 1990 (at the age of 16) asher solo career rapidly ascended, the “RedMendelssohn” Stradivarius was purchased anony-mously at Christie’s of London as a gift from hergrandfather, which set a world record price andcreated an international mystery.

Pitcairn’s path took her to Los Angeles at age17 to study with world-renowned violin profes-sor Robert Lipsett at the University of SouthernCalifornia. She is currently a member of the dis-tinguished faculty at the University of SouthernCalifornia Thornton School of Music, and theColburn School of Performing Arts Conservatoryin Los Angeles.

Pitcairn champions new music, and commis-sioned a violin concerto from Sweden’s leadingcomposer, Tommie Haglund, titled “Hymns toNight.” She premiered this work with theSwedish Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra in2005 to tremendous ovations and criticalacclaim, and the concert was broadcast multipletimes throughout Sweden.

Other San Bernardino Symphony perform-ances for the 2007-2008 season include: TheYoung Person’s Guide to the Orchestra on Nov.4, Works of Genius on Jan. 19, SymphonicMasterpieces on March 8, and Performance ofthe Masters on May 17.

Tickets for the performance are $10 studentand military, general $20, $30, $40, and $50.The San Bernardino Symphony performs at theCalifornia Theatre of the Performing Arts, 562West Fourth St., in San Bernardino.

Theater and Arts

From U.S. presidents to action stars toKermit the Frog, legendary impression-ist Rich Little can transform himselfinto nearly anyone on the planet. The

beloved star brings his cast of characters, alongwith a cast of friends, to Rancho Cucamonga onFriday, Sept. 14 at 8pm to open the 2007-08Season at the Lewis Family Playhouse.

“We are so excited to start our second seasonwith such a legend,” Victoria Gardens CulturalCenter Cultural Arts Supervisor Susan Sluka said.“Rich Little has an amazing talent and his showis just as relevant and hilarious as ever. Performerslike him are really helping to put the LewisFamily Playhouse on the map as the place to gofor top-notch family entertainment.”

The son of a doctor in Ottawa, Canada,Little had become a certified class clown by theage of twelve, answering his teachers in their ownvoices and phoning girlfriends using the voice oftheir favorite actors. Just a few years later, Littlewas the toast of the nightclub circuit in Quebec,winning gigs as a disc jockey and talk show host.

It was then that his talent for mimicry came out,as he delivered spot-on impressions of JimmyDurante, James Mason, Elvis Presley and more.The budding comedian was “discovered” in theUnited States when his friend, singer Mel Torme,slipped a tape to Judy Garland, who pronouncedhim “great” and quickly signed him to her varietyshow.

From then on, Little was the must-have gueston TV’s top variety shows, performing with EdSullivan, Jackie Gleason, Glen Campbell, DeanMartin, John Davidson and Julie Andrews. Hehosted The Tonight Show many times, became ahousehold name on the Hollywood Squares andpopped up often on Laugh-In. Later, Little tooka turn for the dramatic, appearing on FantasyIsland, Chips, Murder She Wrote, Hawaii Five-O, MacGyver and Police Woman. Most recently,he appeared as Johnny Carson in the HBOmovie The Late Shift.

Little went on to record nine comedy albumsand three HBO comedy specials, collecting anEmmy for Rich Little’s Christmas Carol, a staron the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the

“Comedy Star of the Year” award from theAmerican Guild of Variety Artists.

Despite his varied accomplishments, the for-mer class clown’s true love remains impressions.He continues to perform more than two hun-dred voices to packed theaters in Atlantic City,Las Vegas, Reno, Hawaii, Chicago, New Yorkand London. Some of his favorite impressionsinclude presidents from John F. Kennedy to theGeorge Bushes, the legendary Frank Sinatra andfilm stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, JackNicholson and Clint Eastwood, to name just afew.

An intimate 536-seat venue, the Lewis FamilyPlayhouse is part of the three-acre, 89,000squarefoot Victoria Gardens Cultural Center. Thecomplex, at 12505 Cultural Center Drive, locat-ed off the I-15 at Foothill Boulevard. The BoxOffice is open Sunday through Thursday fromnoon to 6pm, and Friday and Saturday from10am to 6pm.

Since its screen debut in 1939, “The Wizard of Oz” has been one ofthe best-loved movies of all time. From an early age, almost every-one is familiar with the film’s iconic images of ruby slippers, a green-faced witch and a girl with braids in a blue gingham dress.

Before the movie, there was the best-selling book, The WonderfulWizard of Oz, by L. Frank Baum. In fact, there was an entire series ofextremely popular books about the strange and wonderful Land of Oz. Buthow did the author come up with the story originally?

That is a question answered in the Riverside Community Players’ pro-duction of Oz, playing for one weekend only, October 5-7, 2007.

As the story begins L. Frank Baum is having terrible trouble completinghis fairytale for children. He has no title, some serious plot problems andno actual ending. When a streetwise little girl named Dot intrudes into hisstudy, Baum decides to get the child’s perspective on his story. He proceedsenergetically to act out the elaborate tale using everything he can find totransport the reluctant girl from the study to the magical land he has creat-ed. Like Dorothy in the cyclone, Dot and the housekeeper Bridgey getswept up into the tale, and through their involvement inspire Frank to makechanges and additions to the story. Using their imaginations, and the audi-ences, the trio finds the missing ingredients to finish the beloved master-piece.

The production is directed by Jennifer Young Lawson, one of RiversideCommunity Players’ resident directors for the Family Series, having previ-ously helmed award-winning RCP productions of Oz, Schoolhouse Rock,Stone Soup and Schoolhouse Rock, Too. “I love working at the Players’ the-atre-in-the-round, and I adore this play. It’s a very demanding piece for theactors, since the three of them portray all the Oz characters from the wicked

witch to the tin man, scarecrow, lion, flyingmonkeys and more. These three are very versa-tile and have great imaginations and willingnessto lose themselves in the roles,” Lawson said.

The versatile three are the hilarious JohnLynd, of Chino, who plays the author L. FrankBaum, the delightful Colleen Shelton, ofCorona, who plays Bridgey, the housekeeper inthe Baum household, and the charming MeganCahill, of Mira Loma, who portrays the inspira-tional Dot. Mr. Lynd is a multiple award-win-ning actor and director who has directed severalMain Series shows at RCP, as well as at ChinoCommunity Theatre and the RedlandsFootlighters. He is an independent filmmaker aswell as a writer and producer of interactive com-edy murder mysteries. Ms. Shelton has previously been involved extensivelywith CAT of Corona, and most recently co-directed their successful summerproduction of 101 Dalmatians. Ms. Cahill is an honor roll student who fre-quently performs at CAT of Corona and has been featured in their produc-tions of Beauty and the Beast, Honk! and 101 Dalmatians.

For ticket reservations and season ticket information, call the RiversideCommunity Players’ box office at (951) 686-4030. Tickets are $8. Therewill be no late seating, and no children under 5 years of age will be admit-ted. The Riverside Community Playhouse is at 4026 14th Street inRiverside, between Magnolia and Brockton.

Steve Green leads gospel concertThe sound of gospel music will resound in the Loma Linda area on Sunday night, Oct. 21,

7pm, when Steve Green returns by popular demand for the sixth time to present a concert forthe 2007-2008 season of the Calimesa Community Concert Series.

Christian vocalist Green of Nashville, Tenn. heads up a team who will perform at the concertto be presented in the Loma Linda University Church, 11125 Campus Street in Loma Linda. Thekeyboarder will be Dick Tunney, a well-known music arranger, composer, and performer.

It is a concert the entire family can enjoy, Dr. Robert Soderblom, Director of the CalimesaCommunity Concert Series, said.

In the recent past Steve Green has ministered in China, Thailand, Chili, Bolivia, and Mexico.He has also made concert tours to Peru and Uruguay. In the past two decades Steve Green hasbecome one of the most acclaimed Christian vocalists of our time, Soderblom said.

Since the release of his first solo record in 1984, Green’s powerfultenor voice has helped define the sound of modern “inspirational”music, not only in America, but also around the world. His 16 albumshave received numerous accolades, including six Gospel AssociationDove Awards and four Grammy nominations, selling more than threemillion copies in the process.

Many of Green’s signature songs, including “People Need the Lord,”“He Holds the Keys,” “God and God Alone,” and “The Mission” domi-nated Christian radio charts throughout the l980’s and have becomefirmly entrenched in the repertoire in today’s church.

As a frequent guest in Billy Graham’s national and international cru-sades, Green’s voice is recognized by millions of television viewersthroughout the world. Today Greene is considered to be one of themost-listened to contemporary Christian artists in Spanish-speakingcountries of the world.

The concert is entitled “Steve Green, A Journey of Faith.” It will fea-ture the “greatest hits over the years in an atmosphere of worship.” Theprogram will be recorded for later release on DVD.

Dale Kristien performed the lead role ofChristine in the Broadway and Los Angelesproductions of Phantom of the Opera. BillHutton won a Tony Award nomination forhis performance as Joseph in the Broadwayproduction of Joseph and the AmazingTechnicolor Dreamcoat. They are regulars onthe Grove Theatre stage.

‘Suite’ offers Simon silliness

America's premier playwright Neil Simon is back, andRiverside Community Players has him. London Suite opens atthe popular playhouse now embarking on their 83rd seasonof live theatre in the inland valley. As with Simon's previous

successes Plaza Suite and California Suite, this delightful comedyinvolves eavesdropping on the lives of several people staying in separatesuites of a posh hotel, this time in London. The production, directedby Inland Theatre League Award-winner and local favorite John Lynd,will run for three weekends September 7-23.

In the first suite, Simon lets us eavesdrop on the reunion of two oldbusiness partners. Since it appears that one partner has robbed the otherof all his money over the years, the reunion is not a pleasant one, but itis a kick for the audience. In the next suite, Simon shows us a motherand daughter touring Europe together in a scene called "Going Home."

Act two opens with a tale of a diva actress enjoying a break from herhit Hollywood television series and returning to her native England.Slapstick is alive and well in the final sketch with comedian/actorQuinn Larsen as "the man on the floor." Soon after checking into theirsuite, a loud, bickering American couple discovers that they cannot findtheir cherished and expensive Wimbledon tickets. Through panic andsquabbling the husband throws his back out and becomes a prisoner tothe floor.

Performance Riverside opens newseason with ‘West Side Story’

Performance Riverside opens its 2007-2008 season on September14 with one of musical theatre’s most unforgettable masterpieces,West Side Story. West Side Story is the first show in PerformanceRiverside’s 2007-2008 Broadway series, which also includes

Seussical, The King and I, a new production of Sensational Showtunes,and the Inland Empire premiere of Thoroughly Modern Millie.

West Side Story was on the creative cutting edge when it opened fiftyyears ago, with its brilliant blend of the Shakespearean tragedy, Romeoand Juliet, and its frantic, edgy realism of 20th century street-gang life.The artful mixture of music, dance and plot; provocative story; and focuson social problems marked a turning point in American musical theater,and its subject matter has become increasingly topical with the passage oftime.

“The fact that the social problem of gang violence has become evenmore complex in the fifty years since the opening of the original Broadwayproduction of West Side Story is tragic,” says Performance Riverside’sProducing, Artistic Director, Rey O’Day. “However, it is the passion ofthe story and the hope that young people feel that keeps the story fresheven today.”

West Side Story is performed on Sept. 14, 15, 21, and 22 at 8pm, andSept. 15, 16, 22, and 23 at 2pm at Landis Performing Arts Center on theRiverside City College Campus. Tickets are $42, $36, $29, and $24. Formore information, call (951) 222-8100 or go online to www.perfor-manceriverside.com. IER

In 2006 Vikki Carr, accompanied by worldrenowned Mariachi Los Camperos de NatiCano, appeared at the annual Concierto ParaLas Madres (Mothers Day concert) in SanBernardino. “Classics Revisited” is a directresponse to that event as concert attendeesrequested a return engagement by Carr to per-form songs that made her famous in the 60sand 70s.

and Carr’s band, will accompany the Grammywinning songstress. Maestro Fetta richly mer-its the praise afforded him by the Los AngelesTimes which referred to him as a conductor ofpassion, wit, admirable theatrical sensitivity,and an interpretative individuality oftenextraordinarily mesmerizing. Maestro Fetta isthe principal conductor of the Culver City,Torrance, Marina del Rey, Nevada OperaTheatre, Inland Ballet Theatre, CaliforniaFestival in San Bernardino, and the RedlandsBowl Music Festival Symphony Orchestras.

The Orchestra will also perform works byMexican composers Jose Pablo Moncayo,Juventino Rosas, Mateo Oliva, and AgustinLara. Led by Maestro Carlo Ponti Jr., the SanBernardino Symphony Orchestra will begin its75th anniversary season in September.

Art of AmericanaAmericana Indian Show brings authentic Native American crafts to the public

With more than 5000 authentic items for sale, theAnderson’s Americana Indian Show is perhaps thelargest event of its kind to be found in the InlandEmpire. For purveyors of traditional, Native

American arts and crafts, the Riverside show can’t be beat.Coming to the Elks Lodge in Riverside on Sept. 28, from

11am to 10pm, Sept. 29 from 11am to 9pm and Sept. 30,11am to 7pm, the show puts on display everything fromturquoise jewelry to Eskimo arts. You can find Hopi kachinas,Navajo rugs, baskets, sandpaintings, sculpture, beadwork andmuch more.

The origin of Americana Indian Shows began in 1968 inFlagstaff and Tucson, Arizona, by three brothers. Lee, Wayne andArvid are native born sons of the state and are the fifth genera-tion of an Arizona family which first came to Arizona in themid-1870s. All three were born in Morenci, the copper miningtown, site of one of the largest open pit copper mines in theworld. The mine is also known for the high quality turquoise mined in con-junction with the copper.

Lee and Arvid spent as much time as possible dealing in coins, especiallyat flea markets. Wayne happened to pick up a selection of Navajo Indianwoven saddle blankets and sent them to Tucson where Lee and Arvid, inturn, sold them at flea markets. They were highly successful and the broth-ers were off and running.

Trips to the Navajo Reservation began where they bought Navajo weav-ings wholesale from trading posts.

As the inventory grew Lee began putting on shows with other dealersand individuals and soon it was shows that had nothing but vendors and

artisans of Indian arts and crafts. By the mid 1970s their inventorybecame large enough and varied enough to put on shows with theirown inventory.

By the early 1990s shows had been conducted in numerous statesfrom coast to coast. Hopi potters included many of the Nampeyofamily, the Feather woman family and the Frog Woman family plusmany more potters from other pueblos. Artists, the living legend,Harrison Begay, Beatien Yazz, Calvin and Irving Toddy-Yazz's sonsand the late Robert Draper. Robert Redbird Sr., the very notedKiowa artist, came in and established a long term relationship.Jewelers, the multi-award winner Al Nez, the fantastic micro-inayjewelers Carl and Irene Clark, Bruce Hodgins of many talents as

well as awards. The list goes on through kachina carvers, Navajo rugweavers sand painters, and many other "art" forms.

Items range in price from two or three dollars to thousands ofdollars. The sellers guarantee their product, with onsite appraisers.

The inventory spans the ages, from contemporary pieces to his-toric works, many by the late legends such as Maria Martinez, Margaret

Tafoya Preston Mononge, Camillo Sunflower Tafoya, and prehistoric items. The Anderson’s host about 27 shows a year. The Riverside show began

in 1980 at the Mission Inn. Shows are also held in Las Vegas, Yuma,Denver, San Antonio, metro Washington DC, metro Baltimore,Philadelphia, Lancaster, and a coming show in Frederick, Md.

The sixth generation of Andersons has come along with Lee's sons Eric(a partner), and Matthew.

Admission is free to the show. The Elks Lodge is located at 6166Brockton Ave. in Riverside. For more information, call (928) 606-2972, orgo online to www.americana.net. R

Many people are familiar with thephrase “en vino veritas – truth inwine” but for the Filippis “envino familia – family in wine” is

a truth. This year, 2007, is the Filippi family’s85th Anniversary and now finds Joseph “J.P.”and his son Jared (age 26, 5th generation),farming 80 plus acres of Zinfandel, Grenache,Mourvedre, Alicante Bouschet, Petite Sirah,Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese,Cabernet Franc, Tannat, and new plantings ofTempranillo in the historic Cucamonga Valley.

This valley is recognized as the UnitedStates’ oldest wine district, and thanks toJoseph’s brother Gino, in 1995 it was designat-ed as a controlled American Viticultural Area,(AVA for short). In the past the CucamongaValley has been famous for its dessert wines, butas technologies have improved it is now possibleto make a full spectrum of gold medal winningwines.

Good wine is made from good grapes. Asstewards of the environment, the Filippi’s paymuch attention to viticultural operations wherethey manage their vineyards by utilizing sustain-able farming management practices. The

Filippi’s strive for the highest quality productwith the least amount of negative impact to theland. Grapes are arguably the most environmen-tally friendly crop known. They consume rela-tively no water (most vineyards are dry-farmed),they clean the air and consume green-housegasses to produce oxygen. Wineries are able toreclaim water for vineyard use and reduce ener-gy use by applying nutrients through drip-lines.By using no-till methods vineyards can be uti-lized as landscaping practically anywhere. Thecity of Rancho Cucamonga has been workingclosely with the winery to redevelop the valley’s

viticultural heritage. Consequently it is possibleto find new and old vines woven all-throughouttown.

Limited production, Joseph Filippi wines arethe result of a craftsmanship derived from tradi-tion, passion, skill, and artistry. President anddirector of winemaking, J.P. Filippi has con-structed an artisan winemaking team including,winemaker/enologist Tish Cooper and cellarmaster Jared Filippi, along with the esteemedconsultation of vintner/enologist Rene Bianeand Fred S. Nury Professor Emeritus ofEnology at Cal State University of Fresno,(U.C. Davis classmates of J.P.’s father JosephA.).

The Joseph Filippi Winery is complement-ed by its two tasting-room locations whereguests may taste wines in an Old Worldambiance. The Guasti gift-shop and tastingroom is located in the impressive GuastiMansion, conveniently located near theOntario International Airport. The RanchoCucamonga location features a unique giftshop, historical museum, art gallery, picnicgrounds, winery tours, and is home to manyexclusive wine club events. IER

Imagine being able to look back in time, tosee the “first light” and what it mightreveal. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope(JWST), successor to the incredible Hubble

Space Telescope (HST), will strive to reach deep-er in space and further back in time than everbefore to reveal information about our place inthe evolution of the Universe. Scheduled forlaunch in the year 2013, the James Webb SpaceTelescope (JWST) will open a new era of discov-ery in space exploration.

The JWST is an infrared-optimized tele-scope with four instruments that can take imagesand spectra of objects. It has a much larger fieldof view than the Hubble and a mirror that col-lects much more light, enabling it to “see” fainterand more distant objects. It will be capable ofseeing through clouds of dust which currentlyobscure the birth of stars and evolving planetarysystems.

This remarkable new instrument is namedafter the man who ran NASA in its infancy,from 1961 to 1968. James Webb was not anengineer or a scientist, but he had an outstand-

ing record of accomplishment as a manager,attorney, and businessman, and had served asDirector of the Bureau of the Budget andUndersecretary of State. He is recognized as aman of vision who, at the end of his tenure, hadheaded an unprecedented period of astronomicaldiscovery at NASA.

Following the progress of JWST and othermissions that NASA has slated for launch givesus an idea of what remarkable new informationlies on the horizon. Find out about these bur-geoning discoveries at the SkyQuest PublicPrograms at MSAS Astronomy Village in LakeArrowhead. Each program offers the opportunityto look into deep space through a research-gradetelescope at the Robert Brownlee Observatory,weather permitting.

September programs are presented from 7-9pm and include the following topics: “TheMoon, Our Nearest Neighbor,” September 1;“Fall Constellations,” September 8; “AstronomyABC’s,” September 15 and 29; and “How to Usea Telescope,” September 22.

Idyllwild, California 92549

Imagine, for a moment, what it would be like to meet GeorgeWashington during the height of the Revolutionary War, a man socourageous and committed to freedom that he came away from onebattle with 4 bullet holes in his coat.

Or ponder catching a glimpse of Abraham Lincoln, hearing thestartling explosions from vintage Civil War era cannons or the gun-fights of a Wild West frontier town.

These are just a few of the experiences that will unfold before theeyes of Southern Californians Oct. 20 and 21 during the MarchingThrough History event at Prado Regional Park. The educational event,one of the largest of its kind in the nation, is unique in that it offers adetailed portrayal of important chapters in early California history.

The event, which is organized by AMVETS and supported bynumerous veterans and historical clubs across Southern California, isprovided as a free community service. Parking costs $5 per vehiclefor access to the park.

“We expect more than 10,000 residents from across SouthernCalifornia to attend,” Jeff Sharp, commander of AMVETS Post 18 inOrange County and coordinator of the event, said.

Marching Through History includes more than $60 million worthof historical artillery, movie props and authentic historical displays, fea-tures hundreds of historical reenactors, including Don Moran, whoportrays Major Caleb Gibbs, the commander of the elite troops whoprotected George Washington.

Moran, an editor of Revolutionary War newsletters and secretaryof the Sons of Liberty Chapter, Sons of the American Revolution, willbe joined by dozens of soldiers who will set up an exact replica of

Washington’s encampment. You might even catch a glimpse of

George Washington himself, a man histori-ans regard as one of the most fearless lead-ers in American history. “When the Armywas advancing,” Moran said, ”Washingtonwas in front. And when it was retreating,he was the last man. He was an extraordi-narily brave individual.”

Marching Through History also includesseveral exhibits without a military theme aswell, including a Western frontier bordertown. “We have a livery, a blacksmith, a ter-ritorial jail, a small bank, a mercantile gener-al store, a hotel and restaurant and an oldMexican cantina, as well as an old adobe,”Hector Gomez, who is coordinating the1870s-1880s section of the event, said.

The two-day event will be held from10am to 5pm Oct. 20 and 21 at PradoRegional Park, which is located just north ofCorona in San Bernardino County. Food vendors will be on site forattendees spending the whole day at the event.

To reach the park from Riverside or San Bernardino, take the 91Freeway west and then take Highway 71 north, following the samedirections outlined above.

ances is the Sturges Family Playhouse, foundedby Randy and Lindsey Hlebasko, who createand direct summer theater workshops for chil-dren.

In addition, the Center is also a perfect set-ting for lectures, seminars and meetings and hasbecome an on-going diverse and intimatemulti-use facility for the region.

Built in 1881 as San Bernardino’s firsthigh school, and named for the City’s thenSuperintendent of Schools, Professor DavidBrainard Sturges (who also started the City’sfirst business college in 1883), Sturges becamea junior high school in 1925 as the City grew,and then fell into disrepair in the 1970’s whenthe junior high was demolished to make wayfor a new City Schools District Office.

Because of the adamant alumni outcry to saveit, the Sturges auditorium was left standingand completely and lovingly restored with pri-vate funding through efforts of the communi-ty. The City purchased it in 1981 and in1984 turned over the on-going renovationand management to the newly-created SturgesFoundation.

Today, EDA is still the Sturges Centerowner/landlord partner with the three opera-tional partners: City of San Bernardino, theSan Bernardino City Unified School Districtand Cal-State San Bernardino. On behalf ofthe partners, Mayor Morris has taken the initia-tive to contract with Bud Coffey, an entertain-ment consultant and former general manager ofthe renowned Renaissance Pleasure Fair withcreative, artistic and business expertise, to coor-dinate the efforts of the new Foundation Board.

The Board will rewrite the Center’s useand management guidelines, hire an executivedirector, who will seek grants for operationand marketing, and will be tasked to revitalizeits governance. The nine-memberFoundation includes three original boardmembers for continuity of history, two newboard members from the SB City UnifiedSchool District, on whose property it sits, twonew board members from Cal-State SanBernardino and two new board membersappointed by the Mayor’s Office.
