Through a synergy of science, expertise and personal attention, our goal is to return our patients to health and their active lives sooner. That’s why we were

first in your community to introduce the robotic da Vinci Surgical System. With the unprecedented precision and small incisions of robotic surgery,

patients benefit from fewer complications, short hospitals stays and fast recoveries.

While robotic surgery happens here at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center every day, we still share our patients’ awe at their remarkable recoveries. Call 1-909-865-9858 for a referral or visit www.pvhmc.org to learn more.

PRINTED By SOuTHWEST OFFSET PRINTING

INLAND LIVING

‘A mother holds her children’s hands for a while,

their hearts forever.”

About the time my wife, Suzanne, was

pregnant with the first of our two girls, she began doing

cross-stitch embroidery. It helped her endure the maternal-

enforced slowdown of her normally frenetic schedule. She

embroidered a number of pieces, including the phrase

above, which appears with a Peter Cottontail-style mother

bunny dressed with a bonnet in a cabbage patch.

For several years, it was part of our nursery decor.

Later, it migrated to the walls of “Mommy and Daddy”

space. I was looking at it the other day thinking about

another child — a handsome young man who recently was lost to his family, but who

still is dear to many hearts.

These folk art pieces each have two stories: the piece itself as it is enjoyed,

and the story of its creation.

Like many things, they are accomplished only through a scheme that requires the

attention and dedication of its creator.

Colors are selected. Squares are counted. Individual tasks are performed. Cloth is

selected, cut and stretched over a frame. Stitches are made. Stitches are ripped out.

Plans are sometimes adjusted, and work continues until the picture emerges.

For a brief period, the artist owns the creation. But the work also owns the artist,

in time, love and attention.

Children are like that. They “own” us as much as we “own” them.

And most endeavors of consequence are also. They follow the same order: the

dream, the scheme, the reward — that is if diligence and luck are with us. And to

each dream, we give a piece of our heart.

Women are mothers to more than children. They foster art, food, plans for future

prosperity. They help us to heal, and they frequently care for the mundane allowing us

to live as we please. If men are lucky, they can be parents in the same vein — though,

frankly, I’m not aware of many who are.

In this issue, we stop in with five women who are engaged in this kind care in their

professional lives: Linda Bosserman, Andi Campognone-Couwenberg, Kathy Tully,

Acquanetta Warren and Janice Rutherford.

With Mother’s Day and Easter in the offing, we also take a chocolate tour of our

inland region and look into pampering at local spas, including the Mission Inn in

nearby Riverside.

Rounding out our reports are a tour of the Mayfair Hotel, a classic building being

revived in the heart of Pomona, in-house foodie Jessica Keating’s recipe plans for a

wonderful spring dinner (actually her Easter menu), digital feedback from photo editor

Rick Sforza on an app called Hipstamatic and a couple of Chino restaurant treats from

Allan Borgen.

Our best to you this spring: live with passion; give your heart; kiss your spouse and

children every day, and enjoy Inland Living.

Work is an obligation for some, for others a calling; meet 5 women making a difference

through their professional lives

Following their Passion

Dr. Linda BossermanWilshire Oncology Medical Group oncologist in Rancho Cucamonga and PomonaSan Bernardino County Medical Society board memberPublic Issues Committee of the American Society of Clinical Oncology

Dr. Linda Bosserman is a calming

and comforting presence when cancer

diagnoses are delivered.

Known for her skill and compassion,

her focus is women’s cancer care,

cancer prevention and quality cancer

care in community practice. She serves

as the medical director of breast health

at San Antonio Community Hospital

in Upland.

“I am a very spiritual person. I see

my role as a physician as advisor and

partner with my patients and their

families,” Bosserman said. “I am

grateful for my training and my

colleagues who let me keep at the

cutting edge of science to help people,

but I also believe it is my job to bring

knowledge and experience to each

person so he can choose his best

treatment plan. I pray I can help each

patient have the best outcome,

whatever that is meant to be for them.”

Bosserman received her medical

degree from Stanford University, and

her favorite subjects were math and

science. She also loved journalism,

and was editor of her high school

newspaper and student body president.

She first wanted to become a doctor

at the age of 7.

“It combined my love of science with

a practical way to help people. I didn’t

choose the field of oncology until

medical school when I got to work with

Stories by SUZANNE SPROUL and CARLA SANDERS

WHetHer It’S CAnCer or CoLor, investing or county budgets, roadwork or sandwiches, the difference between getting done and having an impact is courage and commitment. the courage to take a chance, do

something new, make your own way and the will to follow-through even in the face of extended schedules and competing priorities. on the following pages, we profile five women setting examples we admire.


the oncology team at Stanford,” she said.

Bosserman tries to personalize the

care she gives with compassion, and

she knows the ultimate medical

outcome is out of her hands.

“There are limits, even with the most

advanced science, to what we can cure

or control,” she said. “Sharing the truth

in a way patients can use is important

to me. Every person’s life is precious,

but their path is theirs.”

Away from work, she reads romance

novels and spy thrillers, and enjoys

getting lost in the movies.

“I also love spending time with my

husband, Ted Piatt, our five kids and

five grandkids, and our families and

friends. Ted and I love to cook and

entertain at the beach, take walks, travel

and give service to LeRoy Haynes

Center, the YMCA, the Learning

Centers at the Fairplex, San Antonio

Community Hospital and the American

Cancer Society.”

She recognizes the support of her

parents, siblings, friends and husband

who encouraged and supported her

dreams in medicine.

“I had mentors, teachers, Girl Scout

leaders, clergy, colleagues and

professionals who taught me skills,

leadership and the profound satisfaction

of living in service,” said Bosserman,

who is excited about cancer research

and advances in treatment.

“This is a very exciting time to be

working to improve the care of cancer

patients throughout our community and

our country. I am grateful to my many

patients whose support and guidance

empowers me in my work and keeps

me focused.”

Janice RutherfordSan Bernardino County supervisor, Second District

In Supervisor Janice Rutherford’s

office in downtown San Bernardino,

her sleek desk, ergonomic chair and

white couch share space with a

basketful of toys. It’s a microcosm of

her life, spotlighting her dual roles as

a high-powered elected public official

and a wife and mother.

Rutherford took the oath of office

in December as the newest member

of the San Bernardino County Board

of Supervisors. Her Second District

covers Upland, Rancho Cucamonga,

a large portion of Fontana, and the

unincorporated communities of

Mt. Baldy, San Antonio Heights, Devore,

Lytle Creek and Crestline. She made

a bid for the board after serving a

decade on the City Council in Fontana.

At the county level, one of her key

goals is “fixing ethical perceptions and

trying to restore trust” in a government

that has been tainted time and again by

scandal and corruption. “The

perception of our county is not good,”

she adds. “I want to shift this, to change

the face presented to the public.”

She also hopes to develop a more

business friendly climate, with efforts

ranging across everything from

shortening the time required for project

plan checks to allowing food trucks to

operate within the county’s boundaries.

“We need to figure out how we, as an

organization, can take advantage of the

next economic wave,” she explains.

“We need to get our house in order to

be ready for this.”

Rutherford has lived in the Inland

Empire most of her life. She was born

at March Air Force Base and lived in

Upland, Rancho Cucamonga and

Ontario while growing up. Her love

of the civic process began when she was

a teenager; she campaigned (and won)

to save an honors program at Ontario

High School. After graduation, she

headed to George Washington

University in Washington, D.C.,

eventually returning to the IE to finish

college at UC Riverside, where she

earned a degree in political science.

She later earned a master’s in American

Politics from Claremont Graduate

University.

At the age of 19, Rutherford was hired

on the staff of Bill Leonard, then a state

senator. She moved up the through the

ranks, eventually becoming his press

secretary and chief of staff when he

was elected to the state Assembly.

After graduate school in the early

’90s, Rutherford found she “wanted

to give back to the community.” By

this time, she was married to Thomas

Rutherford and they were living

in Fontana.

She was appointed to the Parks and

Recreation Commission, moving on

to the Planning Commission and

then was elected to the City Council

in 2000. Her husband was one of

her biggest supporters; he died of

leukemia in 2002. “I know he would

be thrilled that I won,” she says

of her supervisorial victory.

In 2005, she married Steve Lim,

an occupational therapist at Kaiser

hospital, and they have two sons,

Ethan, nearly 4, and Noah, 1½.

Balancing is tricky. “When I’m home,

I am really able to focus on the kids

and the family,” she says. She also

encourages outreach events with her

constituency that allow the whole

family to be involved, hers among them.

Her schedule is hectic to say the least.

She sits on 11 boards and commissions

and tries to carve out time for public

concerns as well.

But her top priority as a supervisor

will be to help get San Bernardino

County back on firmer ground —

fiscally, ethically and in the public view.

As to whether she expected to win

her current seat, Rutherford says,

“I had complete peace with my decision

to run for supervisor. I knew I was

doing it for the right reasons.”

Janice Rutherford wants the county on fiscally and ethically higher ground.

Acquanetta WarrenMayor of FontanaDeputy Director of Public Works for the city of Upland

Acquanetta Warren learned one lesson

early on that has guided much of her life’s

work. “I found out that if I wanted to fix

things, I had to do it myself.”

And that she has done, helping in ways

large and small through her career, as

deputy director of Public Works for the city

of Upland, and through her public service,

first as a city council member and now as

the mayor of Fontana.

It’s the latter that has garnered a great

deal of attention, as she became the first

African-American mayor in a city with

strong past ties to the Ku Klux Klan.

These days, Fontana is a different place,

and Warren hopes to help it get even better

through her Healthy Fontana Initiative

and by pushing to bring more jobs

to the region.

“We want to get the word out that

Fontana is open for business,” she said.

“We need to position ourselves so we

are ready for the next wave.”

Even more than that, though, she

hopes to get the 50-plus cities in the

Inland Empire to form a strong alliance to

help promote the region. “We must work

together. If we do, we can accomplish

great things.”

Warren’s own accomplished path

began in South-Central Los Angeles, where

she grew up the daughter of working-class

parents who’d seen firsthand the prejudice

and bias in their hometown of

Birmingham, Ala.

In L.A., Warren was among the first

African-American children to be bused to

nearly all-white schools, an experience she

describes as “scary.” She remembers

watching “the one store we had” burn

down during the Watts riots.

Through it all, her parents drummed the

importance of education and work into

their children and taught them how to earn

their money. “My dad always said, ‘You

will get a job, you will get an education.’ ”

Warren’s first foray into politics came

in the fourth grade, when she was elected

secretary. She eventually was voted in

as the first female student body president

of Locke High School on an anti-gang

platform.

“I grew up with all these creeps, and

they just couldn’t read,” she recalled.

Warren also served on the L.A. County

District Attorney’s Youth Advisory

Committee. From there she received a

full scholarship to Occidental College

in Los Angeles, from which she graduated

with a degree in political science

with an emphasis in urban studies.

After graduation, Warren received job

offers from across the United States and

chose a position in the banking industry.

It was while helping a friend through the

civic process that she first arrived in

Upland in 1993 from her home in

Compton. What started as contract work

segued into jobs as the city recycling

coordinator and then positions in the

Public Works Department, where she has

remained since 1995.

It was during this time that she went

through a painful divorce, and was left

with little money in the bank and three

children to raise.

“This city and these people were good

to me,” she said of Upland.

She also was embraced and aided by her

neighbors and friends in Fontana, where

she had moved after leaving Compton.

“I will always love Fontana,” she added.

“They were there for me, helping me. These

people are like family.”

Warren was appointed to the council

there in 2002, a moment that brought tears

of joy from her parents.

“They sat at their kitchen table and

cried.” She won election as mayor last fall,

claiming her place in city history.

Her children are now grown and forging

their own paths. Anthony, 32, works in

information technology and Jamal, 29, is

a deputy sheriff for San Bernardino

County. Daughter Aajee, 19, is a college

student. Her sons also are attending college

as well.

Warren constantly seeks guidance

through prayer and in conversations

with her pastor at Water of Life Church

in Fontana. She says she would like

to spearhead a prayer circle around

the entire county, with religious leaders

of every faith joining in to pray for the

future of the region and the country.

“We need to do this and say, ‘Enough

is enough.’ We need to be a blessing

instead of tearing things down.”

When asked what people will

remember about her 10, 20 or 30 years

down the road, Warren laughs and offers

this: “ ‘You just can’t tell her no.’ You can’t

tell me that I can’t help. So many people

tell me what they can’t do. I tell them

what I will do.”

Andi Campognone-CouwenbergPresident of Andi Campognone ProjectsCommunity supporter and firm believer in the city of Pomona, mother of four

Andi Campognone-Couwenberg is an

artist, restaurateur and founder of Andi

Campognone Projects in Pomona.

The description of her company on

business literature is short and sweet: it’s a

curatorial service and gallery designed to

facilitate ambitious exhibitions of the

highest museum quality.

What it doesn’t say is she’s a life-long

artist who loves art and other artists. She

isn’t afraid to color outside of the lines and

works to make the world a nicer place.

“I’ve loved art even as a kid,”

Campognone-Couwenberg said. “My

parents bought me a camera, and I found

that I preferred taking the photos and not

being in them. We had an art library

at home, and at the time they were just

books to us.”

That changed. Art became an integral

part of her life, although she loved

all subjects.

“Learning and trying new things is high

on my life list,” she said.

Campognone-Couwenberg worked

at the Millard Sheets Center for the Arts

at the Fairplex in Pomona and for a time

at the Riverside Art Museum, but

something kept pulling her back to

her hometown of Pomona.

One of the first shows she curated was

at the da Gallery before it became an arts

co-op. The St. Lucy’s Priory High School

graduate is completely sold on the city,

and she’s convinced that once you get to

know what’s happening downtown, you

will be, too.

“Pomona opened its arms to me

and my family,” she said. “The city,

particularly the arts community, is like

a family, too. It’s very progressive here,

and I really believe people will be

discovering us very soon.”

Kathy TullySenior vice president/financial advisor, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, OntarioChairwoman San Antonio Community Hospital board of trusteesCal Poly University Educational Trust board member

Kathy Tully is successful at building relationships.

Her growing client list includes more than 400

households because she takes a sincere interest in the lives

of all of her clients, with many practically becoming

members of her extended family.

“When people find out I work on weekends they ask me

why. I tell them I choose to go to the office because my

clients are like friends, and I find the work so rewarding.

“I keep a quote on my desk that says it all: ‘To love what

you do and feel that it matters.’ Now can anything be more

fun?” said Tully, who earned her MBA at Cal Poly Pomona

and has spent 26 years in the financial world.

Her first job was in sales with Del Monte Foods, where

she would teach sales representatives how to invest. It was

easy for her because she was taught at an early age to save

money, and math was always her favorite subject, along with

public speaking.

An early mentor encouraged her to consider going into

financial planning. Today, she is a member of the president’s

(Continued from Page 18) for the

cultural arts, a wife and mother

of four children.

In her role as an arts

commissioner, she is one of the

leading cheerleaders behind the

idea of establishing a municipal

museum/gallery. A grant has

been written to help provide

the necessary capital to get it

started, and Campognone-

Couwenberg is doing a lot of the

promotion. There’s a continued

vibrancy in downtown Pomona

and a sense that the city is back.

The arts have helped pave

the way.

In her spare time, she operates

NY Delight, a downtown deli/

coffeehouse featuring up-and-

coming local photographers.

And as a companion piece to the

museum/gallery, she’s also

helping start a full-scale cultural

calendar, database and

resource list.

“The arts have everything to

do with the quality of life. It

goes way beyond the aesthetic

thing. They involve conceptual

thinking, critical thinking and

even math. And they just make

you feel happy.

“The arts also help change

neighborhoods. Pomona is one

of the oldest art-making regions

in California. Very serious,

historically significant art has

originated from this region

and it is alive again with

contemporary art, music and

performance with a vibrant and

safe downtown, which is home

to an active arts colony and a

highly attended monthly arts

walk,” she said.

council at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney and is a wealth

advisor. Her niche is wealth planning through retirement

portfolios.

“I want people to protect and preserve their investments.

My cardinal rule is to pay yourself first,” she said. “When

I give lectures I usually ask the audience a question: What’s

the difference between a rich person and a poor person?

A poor person spends his money and saves what’s left over.

A rich person saves his money and spends what’s left.’”

Tully is frequently invited to birthdays, anniversaries

and weddings.

“I really don’t call what I do work,” she said. “What I do

is call people that I like all day long and talk about money.

What could be more fun than that?”

That sense of caring spills over into the community,

where the Upland resident has served on many

nonprofit boards.

“It’s all about that circle of life. It’s not just all work,

it has to include family and community,” she said.

Success has brought her many rewards, personal

satisfaction and plenty of good nights’ sleep knowing

she is watching out for others.

“I want to make sure you have a secure and comfortable

retirement, and I’m going to make that happen,” she said.

our ie | flavors & favorites

By SUZANNE SPROUL

when it comes to flavors, chocolate seems to always take the cake — and candy and ice cream and pretty much every other dessert. americans love chocolate. we like to eat it, drink it and basically luxuriate in its existence.

although most prefer to consume it, there are other ways to celebrate its exulted status in the world. some of those ways are completely non-caloric.

who knew that the inland empire is a hotbed of chocolate? three long-time and extremely popular chocolatiers — a-Kline, logan’s and halgren’s — call the place home. they produce hundreds of pounds of the good stuff every year. spaggi’s in Upland serves a sought-after martini, a chef at the magic lamp inn can whip up a delicious confectioner’s dream cup filled with mousse, and Don timo mexican restaurants offer a complex but delightful molé.

But there’s more to do with chocolate than just devour it. Kelly’s spa at the mission inn hotel & spa in riverside provides pampering beyond the expected (see story on Page 36). Dale Gose thinks there is no sweeter dog than her chocolate labrador, and then there are the chocolate mountains. more about those later.

here’s a magical tour of the inland empire that embraces anything and everything chocolate.

Chocolate Tulip at Magic Lamp Inn

PhoTo by ThoMas R. CoRdova

Logan’s CandiesLogan’s Candies has been in downtown

Ontario for 77 years. Jerry Rowley started

working there when he was a kid 36 years

ago, and he bought the place 28 years ago.

It’s safe to say he knows chocolate.

“Why do we love chocolate? It tastes good.

It’s sweet, and it makes us feel good,” Rowley

said. “I’ve been around chocolate almost all

of my life and, nope, I never get tired of it.”

During the holiday season, people flock

to see him and his employees massage, twist

and produce hand-made peppermint. But the

store’s shelves are never empty of its

No. 1 seller — chocolate. Logan’s offers a

huge selection, but customer favorites include

turtles, nut clusters and chocolate-covered

almonds, one of Rowley’s personal favorites.

He also takes requests.

“We go out sometimes and take the show

on the road for parties and benefits, and we dip whatever

people ask us to dip. The strangest? Chocolate-covered bacon.

Men seem to like it,” he said. “Everything tastes great dipped

in chocolate — well, I take that back. We tried to dip garlic

in chocolate. It didn’t work.”

Rancho Cucamonga Animal Care and Adoption Center

“Sweet” doesn’t come close to describing Tatum, but

one look at this 7-year-old makes most hearts melt.

Maybe it’s her brown eyes or her gentle disposition. Or

maybe she happens to belong to a particular breed of dog

that people can’t get enough of. Whatever the reason, this

chocolate Labrador is one popular girl.

“She’s a big goober. She’s so sweet and

such a people-person dog. All Labs are

like that. They love people and people

love them,” said Dale Gose of Corona,

who works at the Ranch Cucamonga

Animal Care Center.

Of course, it doesn’t hurt that Tatum is

a beauty. After a bath, her coat shines and

her chocolate-colored fur glows.

“Yellow Labs actually are the No. 1

favorite, chocolate Labs are second and

the hardest to find are the black Labs.

All I know is that we’re happy to have

her,” she said.

The Gose family almost didn’t. Gose

previously worked for a Lab breeder and

helped bottle-feed Tatum, the runt of the

litter. Tatum got sick and the breeder was

considering euthanizing her until Gose

offered to take the dog home, nurse it back to health and then

find a home for it.

“One month later she was fine, and my family said there

wasn’t really a need to find a home since the dog has already

got one,” she said. “Tatum is a part of our family and my kids

love her. She’s the best kind of chocolate there is.”

Magic Lamp InnAnthony Vernola always tries to keep up with the latest

and greatest. So after the owner spotted a spectacular dessert

in trade publications, he asked his chef to work some magic.

Oh, did he.

It’s called a chocolate marbled tulip cup. To Vernola, it’s

heaven-sent.

“It’s chocolate. There’s mousse, a chocolate cup. We use

white and dark chocolate,” he said. “It’s really pretty simple as

far as ingredients go, but presentation-wise it’s a winner, and

it tastes delicious.”

The dessert experiment started almost two years ago, and

now it has become a big request.

“We first ran it as a special to see if people liked it. They

do,” he said. “In fact, people say they don’t want to touch it

because it’s so pretty, but that lasts about two seconds.”

Chocolate is said to have some good medicinal qualities,

especially for the heart. Unfortunately, there usually are

calories involved.

“The chocolate marbled tulip cup? It doesn’t have any

calories at all, but, hey, I know a good tailor,” Vernola said

with a hearty laugh.

Chocolate MountainsDavid Briery chuckled when he was

asked about the Chocolate Mountains, and

then said he’d need to do a little research.

“Parts of this range within the Inland

Empire probably best include Indian Pass

Wilderness (50 miles east of Brawley) and

the Little Picacho Peak Wilderness,” said

Briery, a spokesman for the California

Bureau of Land Management.

Both wilderness areas are home to desert

bighorn sheep, burro, mule deer and wild

horses. The terrain is stark but impressive

with jutting spires and steep ridges.

The Marine Corps and Navy use a large

section of the Chocolate Mountains as the

Aerial Gunnery Range, which

is closed to the public. The

range dates back to World

War II when air crews trained

there to sharpen aerial

gunnery and bombing skills.

Yet, there are parts of the

Indian Pass Wilderness and

Little Piccho Peak Wilderness

that are open for camping, hunting

and fishing.

“I can safely say that although the areas

are open to the public, these are probably

among the least visited of all public lands

in the lower 48,” Briery said. “But I’m told

that at sunset, the mountains do look like

they’re colored in chocolate.”

We wonder if big rock candy mountain

isn’t somewhere in the vicinity.

www.blm.gov

Halgren’sDavid and Margaret Halgren

started making candy back in 1957.

A home-based business has turned

into a successful venture.

The Ontario store is located in an old

house, which lends itself to the down-

home feel of its menu. It is known for

its chocolate-dipped strawberries, huge

chocolate/caramel-dipped apples and

hand-dipped signature candies. Visitors

also will find homemade jams and even

— gasp — sugar-free chocolates that still

seem to satisfy.

Manager Henry Delgado sells at least

2,000 pounds of chocolate-dipped

strawberries every February in honor

of the day set aside for love.

“Our sales of strawberries increases in

the spring during strawberry season and

the interest in our apples seems to be

highest in the fall, but we sell chocolate

all year long,” he said. “People like our

chocolate creams, our chocolate

marshmallow lollipops and the chocolate

nuts.”

Spaggi’sMartinis are back, and in a big way. They have been

updated, though, at Spaggi’s.

“Martinis are so chic and people are ordering them, but

we wanted to come up with something just a little different,”

said Anna Gonzalez, wife of restaurant owner Henry

Gonzalez.

That little something different is a chocolate martini.

“We started offering it on our menu in November, and

people really like it,” she said. “It is a perfect combination

of Dutch chocolate and fine red wine. We put in a little

raspberry and chocolate sauce whipped cream and a cherry.

“Ours doesn’t have any vodka in it like a traditional

martini might have. We offer it with dessert because it’s not

too strong. It’s sweet and chocolaty and makes for a great

after-dinner drink.”

Dona Timo’s RestaurantsChicken poblano covered in rich molé sauce is a popular

item on the menus of both restaurants owned by Maria

Guadalupe Padilla. Both specialize in dishes from the

Jalisco region of Mexico.

This particular entrée features a sauce steeped in fresh

cinnamon, chilis, tomatoes and chocolate, which helps add

to its rich color and helps tame the heat of the chili peppers.

It may not be a predictable way to use chocolate, but it is

popular. The resulting dish is complex but simply delicious.

It is considered a Mexican dinner staple and traditional

comfort food, enjoyed especially when the weather is cold.

A-Kline Chocolatier“Chocolate goes on just about anything. I mean it,”

said manager Rachel Madrid. “Chocolate just seems to bring

out happiness in people. Even if we just smell the aroma,

it seems to set off our senses.”

Smell and taste may fit nicely into the chocolate equation,

but at A-Kline the eyes play a key part, too. The downtown

Claremont business is known for its storefront window

displays, particularly during holidays and special occasions,

such as Christmas and Valentine’s Day.

“We offer a tremendous variety,” Madrid said. “We have

10 varieties of truffles, alone, including raspberry, coconut

and peppermint. People love our fudge, and our sea salt

caramels are very popular.”

Caramel is made on-site, with a recipe that uses chocolate

bark dipped in the sweet candy and then sprinkled with sea

salt. The sweet/salty taste is scrumptious.

Madrid’s favorite is the chocolate-dipped frozen

cheesecake. “Just wait until it just starts to melt. Yum.”

By DON SPROUL

‘Downtown Pomona is PoPPing,”

David speidel says as he gestures in the

interior of the old mayfair Hotel.

He’s got his blue Rotary shirt on. it’s a

warm saturday afternoon in early april and doors to the

1915 building are open to welcome guests for a sneak peek

of the interior arranged for Pomona Heritage.

speidel is excited to share stories about this local

landmark, which is slowly returning to life after being

shuttered in 1992 and transitioned through bankruptcy

and multiple owners.

the mayfair is an elegant twin-towered brick building

that stands at the intersection of south garey avenue and

third street. Cater-corner across the street is the restored

Fox theater.

First christened as the Hotel avis, the mayfair was built

over the span of six months for $100,000. Upgrades to bring

the building back into use will take about a year at a cost

of about $3 million, speidel says.

Unfortunately, there’s little left of the original interior,

and speidel says there’s nothing to go on in terms of

knowing how a correct historic restoration would look.

InsideMayfairthe

It’s all open spaces inside the old Mayfair Hotel as plans are moving forward to bring the building back to life. Inset below, metal work on the staircase banister is one of the few remaining pieces of the original decor.PHOTOS BY THOMAS R. CORDOVA

Inside the front doors, there’s a small

amount of tiny hex-shaped tiling and

a banister with a touch of metal work still

remaining — remnants that likely won’t

last — and not much else. Beyond that,

the interior is exposed brick, bare framing

and rough wood floors.

Serving as Speidel’s historic advisor

is local preservationist John Clifford,

president of the Friends of the Pomona

Fox, who also has longtime ties to Pomona

Heritage and the Historical Society of the

Pomona Valley. He likely will be helping

search out appropriate fixtures for the

building’s exterior when the time comes.

Clifford, who helped apply for and win

city historic landmark status for the

building, concedes there’s little to be done

in terms of restoration for the interior.

It’s better to have use of the space that

honors the past than some kind of fake-

historical remodel, he says.

The upstairs of the Mayfair building will be converted into apartments, likely for Western University married-student housing.

Once the Speidels’ J&J

Mayfair Inc., operated by David

and his father, John, has the

Conditional Use Permit

updated, work will begin.

Previous owners had stripped

the building’s interior and

completed the earthquake

retrofit.

Plans for the interior call

for a restaurant and computer

store downstairs.

Upstairs will be used for 28 one-bedroom and four studio

apartments, Speidel says. The balcony between the towers will

remain closed. The apartments will likely end up as housing

for married students at Western University, but J&J Mayfair

will remain owner of the building.

The Mayfair won’t be the same building it was in 1915, but,

once again, it will be a lively and active place.

“It’s exciting,” Speidel says, adding, “I want it done already.”

A reminder of past glory: David Speidel’s calling card for the project today is an old postcard of the Hotel Avis he bought online and had reprinted.

CLASSIC SIGNAGE ...

Before the Internet and

mass media marketing,

a great sign with neon

lighting, bright colors

and big letters meant

identity for a business.

Even when faded and

peeling, these signs,

both the vertical

“blades,” as they are

sometimes called, and

shaped creations, give

a distinctiveness to the

areas where they

survive. We found

a nice collection in

downtown Pomona.

Some advertise

businesses still in

operation; others are

ghosts of ventures past.

While those cameras currently don’t match the mastery of our professional-grade digital cameras, there is something

disarming about approaching someone or something with a small phone.

Last year I downloaded the

Hipstamatic app for my iPhone (priced right at $1.99), and have fallen in love with its features that, according to the developers, “bring back the look, feel, unpredictable beauty, and fun of plastic toy cameras from the past.”

This photographic application takes the photo you’ve just snapped on your iPhone and applies software filters that recreate or mimic the texture, vignetting and chromatic aberration, or failure of a lens to focus all colors to the same convergence point, replicating the effects of a plastic toy camera.

Or, perhaps more to the point, the look of all those photos your parents or grandparents have stuffed in shoe boxes at the back of their closets.

Damon Winters, a New York Times photographer, recently set the photojournalism community abuzz after using the Hipstamatic to shoot a front page story about the war in Afghanistan where he was embedded with U.S. troops.

You don’t have to be a photographer to appreciate or even to use the Hipstamatic, though currently you do need to own an iPhone.

While users of those “other” cellphones are putting pressure on Synthetic Corp., the developers of the Hipstamatic, to create an application for the Android and Nexus, it is not available yet.

In the meantime, if you use a phone other than the iPhone, you may search the photography applications for “FxCamera,” which is free, and “Vignette,” which runs about $5.

HAVE YOU given bir th recently? Many new mothers go through agony trying to get back to their pre-baby weight and body.

Having a new baby is an awe-inspiring and memorable time, f illed with experiences both joyous and, sometimes, overwhelming. Always, there seems to be problems with getting enough sleep and getting that body back to the way it used to be. Remember those curves, the f lat stomach and the perky breasts? No, they weren’t a fantasy and, yes, you can get them back!

Eating healthy and exercising (if you can f ind the time between feedings, diaper-changing, cleaning, laundry and trying to sleep), does not always bring back your pre-baby body. In fact, many women get back to their pre-baby weight only to discover their bodies have changed. Science shows that no amount of exercise will help tighten the gap that forms between the abdominal muscles. These muscles, once stretched apar t, can never regain their shape without a doctor’s help. Your skin has been stretched like a balloon and, once def lated, it loses its elasticity.

But a mommy makeover can give you back your pre-baby body, or maybe one that is even sexier.

Don’t feel guilty about wanting to look nice again even though you are now a mother. Also, don’t think of yourself as fat if you still have a “stomach” even after losing weight. The muscles become loose and separate to make room for the baby, not because of

weight gain. It is these bulging muscles that cause you to believe that you’re fat even when you’re not.

Each makeover is unique. For moms who have moderate muscle laxity (bulging and loose skin above the belly button), a full tummy tuck is the solution. A tummy tuck addresses the underlying muscles that act as an internal corset above and below the belly button. These muscles are sewn together to f latten them out again and give you back your waist and hourglass f igure. A tummy tuck includes the removal of the excess skin as it is pulled more tightly across the now f lattened muscles. With the removal of the extra skin, stretch marks can disappear and the belly button is repositioned.

Some women may only need a mini tummy tuck. A mini removes extra skin below the belly button. The procedure can be coupled with liposuction to give you a f latter stomach and a more proportional body. Many moms also decide to make breast augmentation a par t of their makeover. Some women want to go back to their original shape and some decide it’s time to go up a size. Whatever your decision, the end result should always be the body you want and a renewed self-conf idence; so make your fantasy of a sexy body a reality and get a mommy makeover.

While MoM May appreciate

a box of candy or a lovely

spring bouquet for Mother’s

Day, there are other options.

For one, consider buying her a gift certificate

to a day spa, where she may enjoy a massage,

body wrap or another relaxing treatment.

Kelly’s Spathrough this summer, guests may enjoy two

unique spa treatments: the chocolate truffle

body wrap and the chocolate pedicure.

the body wrap is designed to provide

a beauty skin experience featuring ultra-

hydrating properties found in cocoa,

macadamia nut oil, almond oil, ginseng

and vitamins e and c. While guests enjoy the

treatment that warms and conditions winter’s


dry skin, they’ll be treated to a relaxing

scalp massage. A hot towel cleanses the

skin, and that’s followed by a body massage

using organic champagne oil.

Enjoy for 50 minutes ($120) or

80 minutes ($170).

The pedicure begins with a warm foot

soak with fresh rose petals. Feet then are

covered with a vitamin-rich Cranberry

Kiss exfoliant followed with a warm

chocolate truffle masque. Nails are

groomed and then an organic champagne

oil leg and foot massage follows. Topping it

all off, guests are served pink champagne

and freshly made chocolate truffles. It lasts

for 50 minutes ($65).

“Chocolate used in this combination

is rich in antioxidants and helps provide

a total mind/body experience,” said Diana

Rosure, spa director. “Both treatments

are the complete ‘ta-da.’”

Essentials Day Spa and Salon

For less than $100, treat Mom to an

array of luxurious spa services at Essentials

Day Spa and Salon inside the Doubletree

Hotel in Claremont.

Everything from massages to facials to

waxing and nail treatments are offered.

A popular service is the spa pedicure,

which costs $50 and features an exfoliating

scrub, followed by aromatherapy oil and

a paraffin dip.

Mother’s Day is a big occasion, says

manager Terri Brooks.

“A lot of moms and daughters come in

together to celebrate,” she said. “We have

champagne and chocolates for everyone,

and even a full lunch served poolside.”

Along with single spa services, the salon

also offers several unique packages,

including a makeup and photography

session, plus full- and half-days of beauty

(consisting of a European facial, one-hour

body massage, express manicure and

pedicure, shampoo/blow dry, makeup

touch-up and a healthy lunch).

Cielo Mio Spa and Salon

Located in Claremont’s Village Square,

Cielo Mio Spa and Salon prides itself on

being a retreat from the harsh sun and

a place for relaxation and rejuvenation.

Specialties include a Swedish massage,


hydrating seaweed wrap and other body

treatments.

One popular choice is a Myoxy-caviar

high-performance facial, an advanced

anti-aging treatment that bathes the skin

in pure caviar and pearl extracts. It is said

to improve elasticity and texture, increase

oxygenation and aid in the reduction of

fine lines.

Another popular facial is the Luminous

“C” and “Sea,” according the spa’s owner

Thomas Vu.

“Our facials are the kind you would get

at very high-end resort spas,” he said. “We

offer them at very reasonable prices so our

customers can afford to make them part

of their ongoing beauty regimes.”

When it comes to manicures and

pedicures, Cielo Mio’s are unlike any other,

Vu says. The hand/foot fantasy nail

treatment package features a relaxing soak,

rose petal bath, sugar exfoliation, fruit

peel, callus removal, deep tissue massage

with reflexology, and hot stone massage

with aromatherapy paraffin mask.

For a limited time, customers may

purchase a facial or massage at Cileo Mio

for an introductory rate for $49.

promotions each month, which can be

found on its website.

Create new memories with recipes that recall special timesSpring

delightsBy JESSICA KEATING

When I Was groWIng up,

easter dinner was always

a sprawling, hours-long

affair, capped off with

a frenzied dash through my great aunt

gloria’s glorious, terraced backyard in

search of candy-filled plastic eggs hidden

by my father

and uncles.

These days, I live

a thousand miles from

my hometown but

I try every year to

recreate the happiness

of the easters of

my youth for my

own children.

This year, an Italian-inspired feast (here,

I must give a nod to renowned chefs Mario

Batali and giada de Laurentiis, who

inspired the recipes that follow) and a

smaller but still frenzied easter egg hunt

for my daughter and son should help quell

any pangs of homesickness that might

spring up. here are a few recipes I’ll be

trying out in my kitchen to celebrate easter

with my family.

To get things started, I’ll push asparagus, that perennial springtime side, to the first course with this twist on a traditional antipasto dish.

Bacon-Wrapped Asparaguswith Citrus VinaigretteIngredients2 pounds asparagus, trimmed½ pound center-cut bacon or pancetta,

thinly sliced1 Meyer lemon, finely grated zest and juice2 teaspoons whole-grain or Dijon mustard¼ cup extra-virgin olive oilSalt and freshly ground pepper2 teaspoons flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

DirectionsTightly wrap each asparagus spear in

a slice of bacon and refrigerate until chilled, about 20 minutes.

Preheat a grill pan or table-top grill. In a small bowl, stir the lemon zest and juice with the mustard and olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill the asparagus over moderate heat, turning often, until they are just tender and the bacon is crisp, about 5 minutes total. Transfer the asparagus to a platter and drizzle with vinaigrette. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Note: The bacon-wrapped asparagus can be covered and refrigerated overnight.

Here’s a simple recipe for pork that will taste great on Easter and just as good the next day, sliced thin and piled high on soft rolls.

Roasted Porchetta-Style Pork LoinIngredients2 rosemary sprigs, stems removed2 thyme sprigs, stems removed10 sage leaves1 tablespoon fennel seeds1 teaspoon kosher salt½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper3 garlic cloves, minced1 boneless pork loin roast (3½ pounds), trimmedCooking spray1 cup dry white wine

DirectionsPreheat oven to 350 degrees.Finely chop rosemary, thyme, sage and

garlic; place in a small bowl. Mix in fennel, salt and pepper. Make 12 1½-inch slits along one side of the roast, and stuff slits with herb mixture. Place the roast, slit side down, on a shallow roasting pan coated with cooking spray. Rub remaining herb mixture over the top of the roast.

Bake at 350 degrees until a thermometer registers 155 degrees (slightly pink), about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Transfer roast to a serving platter. Add wine to pan, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Pour wine mixture into a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, and simmer until reduced to cup (about 8 minutes). Remove from heat. Pour accumulated juices from serving platter into wine reduction, and serve with pork.

Serves 10

2/3


I love roasted tomatoes and my kids love pasta, so this dish is sure to make everyone happy.

Pasta with Roasted Tomatoes, Capers and CheeseIngredientsCooking spray4 cups (24 ounces) cherry or grape tomatoes,

any color, halved¼ cup capers, rinsed and drained1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra

for drizzling½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra

for seasoning¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper,

plus extra for seasoning½ cup Italian-style seasoned breadcrumbs1 pound penne or other short, tube-shaped

pasta1¼ cups Parmesan cheese, grated¼ cup flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

DirectionsPlace an oven rack in the center of the oven.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat an 8-by-8-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.

Place the tomatoes, capers, 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in the prepared baking dish. Toss to coat. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the tomato mixture. Drizzle the top with olive oil and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the top is

golden. Cool for 5 minutes.Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil

over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water.

Place the pasta, roasted tomatoes and cheese in a large serving bowl. Toss well. Thin out the sauce with a little pasta water, if needed. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.

The perfect ending to a springtime meal, this make-ahead dessert is a blessing for any home cook.

Semi-Frozen Lemon Custard with BerriesIngredients½ cup sliced almonds, toasted1¾ cups chilled heavy whipping cream1¼ cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar7 large egg yolks½ cup fresh lemon juice1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons lemon zest¼ teaspoon salt4 cups berries, any variety

DirectionsPlace sliced almonds in nonstick skillet over

medium heat. Toast almonds, stirring frequently, until golden brown. Set aside and cool 3-5 minutes.

Line a 9-by-5-by-3-inch metal loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving generous overhang. Sprinkle almonds evenly over bottom of pan. Using an electric mixer, beat whipping cream in large bowl until soft peaks form. Refrigerate whipped cream while making custard.

Whisk 1¼ cups sugar, egg yolks, lemon juice and zest, and salt in large metal bowl to blend. Set bowl over large saucepan of simmering water and whisk constantly until mixture is thick and fluffy and an instant-read thermometer inserted into mixture registers 170 degrees, about 4 minutes. Remove bowl from over simmering water. Using electric mixer, beat mixture until cool, thick and doubled in volume, about 6 minutes. Fold in chilled whipped cream. Transfer mixture to prepared loaf pan and smooth top. Tap loaf pan lightly on work surface to remove air pockets. Fold plastic wrap overhang over top to cover. Freeze custard until firm, at least 8 hours or overnight.

Gently mix all berries and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in large bowl.

Unfold plastic wrap from top of custard and invert dessert onto platter; remove plastic wrap. Dip heavy large knife into hot water; cut custard crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices. Transfer to plates; spoon berries alongside and serve.

Makes 8 to 10 servings.Note: Custard can be made 3 days ahead.

Keep frozen. Berries can be made 3 hours ahead; cover and refrigerate.

Chino, well-platedBy ALLAN BORGEN

Chino may not be the culinary capital of the inland Valley, but the city has

many fine restaurants with unique cuisine. Every time i’m in the area, i marvel

at the growth of new, independent restaurants. Finding a great restaurant is no

easy task, but after careful consideration and recently sampling some exceptionally great

food, i offer these two finds.

Papachino’s Grill & Greens

Papachino’s Grill & Greens is an exciting family restaurant featuring a nice selection of fresh, healthy and delicious grilled steak, chicken, fish and seafood entrees, lots of tempting salads and fantastic desserts at affordable prices.

The décor is Mexico meets Hawaii. After ordering at the front counter, dine indoors or in a spacious new outdoor patio area.

Everything is made fresh on the premises, and owner Jim Franchino is extremely passionate about his food. Jim believes that a change of diet greatly helped him beat cancer, and he wanted to share some of his food successes with others.

Another nice touch is a sensational salsa bar with fresh tortilla chips, homemade condiments like salsas, creamed horseradish, a wasabi dip, cocktail and tartar sauces for the seafood entrees, a delicious sweet and tropical tasting barbecue sauce, and a great ranch and honey mustard dressing for the salads.

Some of the many delicious items available include the tangy sweet chicken teriyaki and rice ($7.99), Baja tacos ($5.49) and grilled swordfish ($9.99).

The steak teriyaki consisted of charbroiled chunks of cap steak basted with a teriyaki sauce and served with steamed rice topped with crisp grilled carrots and zucchini. The steak was tender and juicy, while the teriyaki sauce was sweet and tangy.

The Baja tacos featured a single wrapped 6-inch corn tortilla with grilled mahi with shredded cabbage, tomatoes and carrots. The taco was quite large and was even better topped with the homemade tartar and salsa.

Another terrific entree was the grilled 7- to 8-ounce swordfish steak with mildly spicy chipotle seasonings and served with fresh grilled asparagus, onions, zucchini and the choice of a side dish (fries, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, rice pilaf, brown rice, fresh fruit, pineapple cole slaw, pasta salad or a dinner salad).

If you enjoy salads, the Chinese chicken salad ($8.49) and the grilled chicken taco salad ($8.99) are worthy choices.

Make sure to save room for the Carrot Cake Confusion (cream cheese frosting injected into carrot cake muffin), a delicious pumpkin roll, the Coconut Macadamia Royale or chocolate chunk cookies. You will not be disappointed.

One Plus One Dumpling House

One Plus One Dumpling House may seem like an odd name for a restaurant, but after experiencing the delicious handmade dumplings, dim sum and Chinese entrees, you’ll know it’s another name for culinary heaven.

This fairly new restaurant features a large selection of items reminiscent of what may be found at eateries in Monterey Park and Rowland Heights. The food is authentic, the portions are plentiful and the prices are fantastic.

The signature items are the Pan Fried Dumplings (pot stickers) and Juicy Pork Steam Dumplings, and both are only $5.95. Filled with a delicious pork mixture, they are addicting. When eating, make sure to put the entire dumpling into your mouth since it is full of flavorful juices that will squirt all over if you take a smaller bite.

The won ton dough skins are made on the premises, and there are 13 other dumplings with various fillings as well as Barbecue Pork Buns and won ton soup combinations.

Other treats include the handmade Chinese noodles that are both delicious and chewy. Like the dumplings, they are available in many dishes with vegetable, pork, chicken and other ingredients.

Also among my favorites: the Spicy Shrimp ($9.95), with 18 large battered and fried shrimp wok-cooked with green onions and lots of cut-up dried red chilis; and the Cilantro Pork ($7.95), which featured a lot of tender pork strips sautéed with an even larger amount of Chinese cilantro, onions, garlic and a delicious sauce.

Two more exciting items on the menu are the Kung Pao Shrimp ($9.95) and the tasty cut-up half of Dao Kou Chicken ($5.95).

Be aware that many of the dishes may take a little longer to prepare than normal, and the staff’s understanding of English may be problematic, but I was fine with those two issues because the food is some of the best around. Besides, it sure beats driving to Monterey Park or Rowland Heights.

I love this restaurant and look forward eating my way through it again soon.

LOS ANGELES URBAN LEAGUE

essay | at home in the ie

By CARLA SANDERS

Mrs. Mason was my fifth-grade

teacher. she was a tall, broad-

shouldered woman, with a fluffy

auburn hairdo, red lipstick, and

a ready smile. she had a firm grip on the class

and made learning both interesting and fun,

which was no small feat considering it was a

fourth- and fifth-grade combo.

she encouraged us to expand our minds and

think beyond our little world. To that end, for a

week in the fall and the

spring, we made cookies

for and wrote letters to

soldiers in Vietnam. and

they wrote us back.

When Mrs. Mason

underwent hip surgery

midway through the year

and taught the last half

from a wheelchair, she

never loosened her hold

on us, ensuring not only that we’d remember what

we’d learned, but that we wouldn’t forget her,

either. I never did.

she was one in a parade of remarkable women

who’ve marched through my life and, in their own

way, helped shape it through their words, actions,

ideals and inspiration. They are much like the

amazing females featured in this issue who are

playing a role in the future of the Inland Empire.

In my long ago past there was roxie Fuller,

a cheery, bubbly sprite of a woman and one of my

first sunday school teachers. she used to roll her

pen back and forth in her palms, clicking it on her

wedding ring. she’d suffered the loss of a son,

daughter-in-law and unborn grandchild,

and still her faith and her boundless joy in life

never wavered.

There was Mrs. o’Donnell in sixth grade, an

elderly stern taskmaster to be sure. When she tired

of watching me fling my hands to and fro as I

talked, she made me tuck them under my thighs

and sit on them. To this day when I start to use

them to help get a point across, I think of her.

There were Judy and norma, with whom

I worked in the children’s department at sears,

my first job. They taught this high school student

the importance of being on time, of counting

money correctly and of being courteous to

customers — lessons I’ve used time and again

in the subsequent years.

at the many newspapers where I worked as a

journalist, there were women who guided by their

calm, nurturing examples, offering constructive

criticism and hands-on help to aid in shaping

the career that had captured my heart.

In my family, I had two amazing grandmothers,

Jessie sanders and Velona sherrill. From them,

I learned about perseverance through severe

adversity, the value of hard work, and knowing

what’s really important in life.

and always, through everything, there was my

mom, Quindora sanders. she was there to listen,

to soothe, to care. I have excellent penmanship and

spelling skills because of her. I love to read because

of her. I learned the value of giving back because

of her. I am a better person because of her.

as I go through the years, I am constantly

striving to take these lessons and pass them on

to others, including my own daughter. It is the

highest compliment I can pay the special women

who played a key role — one they most likely

never knew — in shaping me. They deserve

no less.

Women who’ve made a difference – in me

There are celebrities, CEOs, doctors, Nobel Prize winners,Olympians, pilots, and writers who have all overcome their

learning challenges.

It’s time to help your child discover what is possible.

Does your child struggle in school? Do you wonder why? We can help uncover the cause of those learning

difficulties, and give him or her the tools to overcome them. It begins, if needed, with a comprehensive

evaluation by a neuropsychologist that far exceeds standard academic tests. Our team of clinical therapists

and educators will give your child the strategies to grow with the challenges that result from

conditions like attention deficit disorder and dyslexia, as well as other types of learning

deficits that may have previously been undiagnosed. Our unique hospital-based program

is unlike any other tutoring program in Southern California. We offer the latest technology,

one-on-one training and group workshops for elementary, middle school, and high school

students. At the Casa Colina Learning & Language Center, your child will learn how his or her own mind

works best and finally experience academic success. To learn more, please call toll-free 866/724-4130.
