Ben Malkin | Ben.Malkin@citylifestyle.com Robin Chesler | Robin.Chesler@citylifestyle.com EDITOR
November approaches, heralding the holiday season and the near end of another year. Reflecting on the past year, I can’t help but think of the very fitting lyrics by The Grateful Dead: “If I told you all that went down, it would burn off both your ears!” Thankfully, despite the hard times, loss and life lessons, healing happens and hope shines a bright light on the future. Our community is very fortunate to have so many generous, caring groups dedicated to helping people cope with life’s trials and tribulations. This issue spotlights several of our local charities and nonprofits that provide essential services and support to thousands of local residents. One such group is 100 Women Who Care Conejo Valley, comprised of local ladies committed to raising funds for four nonprofits each year; many others support a variety of needs, from housing to hunger. This month’s feature article highlights four philanthropically minded individuals who selflessly support their community with grace, generosity and care. Follow their lead and find a way to give back—your efforts matter. Opportunities to support local causes include donations, fundraising and volunteering. With grateful hearts this Thanksgiving season, let’s shine our lights by offering hope and help whenever we have the chance. Happy Thanksgiving!

GOLD COAST K9 HOUSE TRAINING BASICS
ARTICLE BY RODNEY SPICER
CRATE TRAINING
8
When bringing a new dog inside of the home for the first time or training your current family companion to be inside full time, house-training guidelines are a must. The goal is to teach the dog and family members the correct structured guidelines and expectations when inside. Daily training creates a clear and consistent foundation that will last a lifetime for the entire family. This article focuses on introducing your dog into the home using the following tools: leash management, crate training and “place” command. When your dog enters the home, they should always be on a 3-to-6-foot leash with supervision. Allowing the dog free rein inside your home during this introduction phase may result in unwanted behaviors, such as jumping on furniture, marking and chewing. Having control of your dog inside the home with proper leash management allows you the ability to reinforce desired obedience as well as sets clear guidelines for your dog about what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior. Always remember, you cannot supervise what you cannot see. Whenever your dog has free run of the home, unwanted behaviors can turn into negative associations.
P E T CA R E | PR OFESSIONAL S E RVI CE S
Once we have started leash management inside the home, the next step is getting your dog acclimated to their crate. When we do not have time for direct supervision, we can place our dog into their crate for short periods of time. Prior to entering the crate, have your dog come to a “sit” position. Once sitting, use their momentum to enter the crate by simultaneously tossing a treat and saying “kennel” (or whatever you prefer to call it). Each time your dog exits the crate they should be walked directly outside of the home and given an opportunity for a bathroom break in your preferred area. During this time, dogs should be on leash as much as possible until they understand the routine. Crates are ideal especially when training your dog to go potty in specific locations outside. This prevents two things specifically: unwanted bathroom breaks inside the home and preventing separation anxiety. Utilizing the crate will allow you the freedom to go about your day while your dog is in a secure area. If you are always directly with your dog and reluctant to utilize a crate, your dog will most likely start whining, barking, being anxious and engaging in destructive behavior. Whenever passing by your dog inside the crate, family members can reward them with a treat to help reinforce the crate as a positive association.
PLACE TRAINING We use dog beds as a “place training” target and they are strategically placed throughout the home in the most commonly used rooms, such as the family room, living room and office. Use the following steps for introducing the place command: 1. Keep your dog on-leash as you enter the room. 2. Walk to the dog bed and drop a treat onto it, simultaneously giving the place command. 3. Assist your dog into a “down” position and reward with a treat.
Your dog will learn through repetition that the dog bed is a rewarding spot and they will continue to be rewarded with prolonged duration. If your dog knows how to lay down, then you should always reinforce that command which will eventually lead to a routine down position on the dog bed. If your dog gets up and walks away, it is crucial to immediately return your dog to the bed with the place command. Your dog will become comfortable and confident through clear and consistent repletion. These simple guidelines can provide your dog with a long-lasting training foundation and enhance the relationship between canine and family. Author Rodney Spicer began training dogs in 1985 and founded Gold Coast K9 in 1991. Today Gold Coast K9 provides dog training to over 100 law enforcement agencies, families and corporate clients.

Rosemary Allison
Local Generosity Gives Infinite Returns As a person who seeks to promote the welfare of others, a philanthropist is an individual who donates time, money, experience, skills or talent to help create a better world. This definition is true for the following local residents who are committed to making a positive difference in everything they do.
ROSEMARY ALLISON Looking back on a stellar real estate career that’s spanned more than 4 decades—combined with her philanthropic work that’s earned many accolades— Rosemary Allison says her greatest accomplishments will never be about money. “My answer will always be who I raised,” emphasizes Rosemary, a resident of Santa Rosa Valley whose philanthropy has earned her Ventura County Volunteer of the Year, as well as other recognitions.
“As my kids get older and find their own places in the world, I’m fascinated by who they are becoming, by the wonderful charitable things they have been involved in and the imprint they will leave on the world on behalf of our family.” As a local philanthropist—who was recognized by the California Legislature as Woman of the Year in 2020—Rosemary has been leaving an imprint for decades as a volunteer with endeavors that make a positive difference, including For The Troops, an all-volunteer run 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Simi Valley. “It was founded by one of my close friends, Paula Cornell,” explains Rosemary, adding that Paula is dedicated to providing members of the American military with “We Care” packages containing basic necessities, goodies, games and—most of all—a show of support.

“Their mission: We support them while they protect us,” Rosemary emphasizes. For the past 6 years, she has been honored to chair the For The Troops annual Military Gala, as well as serve on their Board of Directors. “I want to make sure that I express my gratitude for all of the sponsors and supporters for joining me in helping us to bring meaningful tokens of our appreciation to our deployed military personnel,” Rosemary says. “I'm proud to say that now that my husband is retired, he enjoys volunteering at their headquarters 3 days a week helping to pack the boxes that are shipped to our enlisted personnel.” She is also involved with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, which battles pediatric cancer and other life-threatening diseases. “In 2011, our close friends, Patrick and Cathy Warburton, founded the Warburton Celebrity Golf Tournament held annually in Desert,” Rosemary Palm recalls. “I was proud to be part of this grand charity event from its inception, where Patrick and his celebrity friends come together for a weekend of star-studded festivities to help. The Warburton has raised more than $26.5 million for St. Jude since its inception in 2011.” Rosemary is also part of the Ventura County Sheriff’s Foundation, an independent nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization with the sole objective to support the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office. The foundation strives to build community partnerships to enhance public safety in Ventura County with the support of individuals, families and businesses. “My son, Joe Markiewicz, is on the Board of Directors for this worthwhile organization,” Rosemary notes. Additionally, she received the Visionary Award from the American Cancer Society, a leading cancer-fighting organization with a vision to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. “I was honored to be the Chair of a Gala to benefit American Cancer Society in Ventura County that raised the largest amount of funds at the ‘Joie de Vivre’ Evening of Hope gala,” remembers Rosemary, who was asked to chair the event by Sandy Berg, who headed the American Cancer Society in Ventura County. She also supports the Triunfo YMCA in Westlake Village; as a result, project funding of $50,000 has now been completed for the Welcome Wellness Welcome Entry, with Rosemary—who is Coldwell Banker’s Estate Director—as the lead donor.
“I support these charities because their missions speak to me—in helping those who need our support.” Above all, “I work on behalf of those charities whose mission and goals touch my heart.”
ZELENE FOWLER As the owner of Mizel Estate Wines along with her husband, Michael, Zelene Fowler is also the president and director of the Mizel Family Foundation, a nonprofit organization that creates opportunities for people with special needs in an environment of unconditional love. “The Mizel Family Foundation began close to my home and heart, inspired by my son, Henry, and his experiences with Down syndrome,” recalls Zelene, of Westlake Village. “Henry inspired my husband and I to provide special opportunities for uniquely abled young people to experience art, music and sports both on Mizel Estate and at other locations throughout the community.” Everything Mizel does is about inclusivity, connection and warmth, from the exceptional wines, right through to the work of the Mizel Family Foundation. “At its core, Mizel Estate Wines is purpose-driven, established with the goal of supporting our foundation with a portion of our wine sale proceeds,” Zelene explains. In 2014, the Fowler couple brought together a spirited team to establish the vineyard and achieve their goal of making worldclass wine. They partnered with Guillaume Fabre, a renowned, sixth-generation winemaker and vigneron, who helped them select and establish the varietals that would thrive on the estate and began making wines in the Bordeaux style. “Located on the floor of Hidden Valley, our estate’s soil is a fertile mix of clay and sand, which provides tannin structure and elegance to our red wines that is unique to our terroir,” says Zelene, adding that their expert team carefully manages the vines, with only the finest 100% estate-grown, hand-harvested grapes being used to make their wines. “Every year when we get together to blend the wines and taste what we know will develop into deep, velvety reds, we are proud of what our team has achieved.” She also takes great pride in the Mizel Family Foundation, which creates genuine educational and career opportunities for people with unique abilities who experience special needs.

“A percentage of all Mizel Estate Wine proceeds is donated to the Mizel Family Foundation,” Zelene says. “Individuals with unique abilities can participate in agricultural, athletic, cultural and other activities at Mizel Estate and additional prominent venues. Our goal is to employ and mentor uniquely abled adults to facilitate the growth of Mizel Estate.” Mizel Estate is a special place where all are welcomed, accepted and befriended, she emphasizes. “The Mizel Team is an integral part of the success of our Mizel Estate Wines and Mizel Family Foundation endeavors, deeply involved in strategy, creative development, logistics, marketing, publicity and volunteer, vendor and customer relations,” Zelene says. “At Mizel, teamwork, inclusiveness and positive energy are part of the job description.” In April of this year, Mizel Family Foundation hosted “An Enchanted Ball” at Mizel Estate, a special evening, where uniquely abled and typically developing teens attended a formal dance together. “Students enjoyed a magical night filled with music, dancing, happiness and friendship,” Zelene recalls. “Planned by the National Honor Society student organization at Newbury Park High School and attended by LEAP (Learning Essentials Academic Program) participants from three local schools—Newbury Park High School, Thousand Oaks High School and Westlake High School—the dance was supported by The Mizel Family Foundation, along with the schools’ administrative and educational teams and students’ families.” Zelene reflects that “a special evening like this means so much to the community of parents to the uniquely abled, where they can feel safe dropping off their kids and know that they are having a fun time.” Additionally, “through the foundation we have supported inclusion at Newbury Park High School in the following programs: special education department, weight training department, theater department, wrestling team and the swimming team.” The Mizel Family Foundation also contributes to assisting disadvantaged youth, women and the elderly. As far as future endeavors are concerned, “we are focusing on our goal to employ and mentor uniquely abled adults to facilitate the growth of Mizel Estate by matching individuals to expanded job opportunities at the estate.”
In addition, “we want to deepen our relationship with the LEAP program at local area schools, continuing to support activities such as An Enchanted Ball.” LEAP is a comprehensive academic program for students with significant learning, adaptive and language needs. “It uses an alternative curriculum that is aligned with common core standards,” Zelene explains. “Through this program there are opportunities to engage with typically developing students across a variety of social activities, providing growth opportunities, creating friendships and enriching the lives of all the students together.” Zelene is also the co-founder of the Down Syndrome Association of Mid-Columbia. “Mizel Estate Wines also contributes wine gift baskets to local charities for auctions, such as the Thousand Oaks Rotary Club Wine Festival, which supports the Special Olympics, and the Malibu Chili Cook Off, which supports the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.” In other endeavors that make a difference, Zelene and her husband are partners and advisors with Mizel Media, whose mission is to support filmmakers who are committed to focusing on the representation of strong female characters, roles played by people with disabilities and/or projects helmed by women. The couple is also involved in SingFit, whose mission is to create robust lives for people as they age through the intentional application of prescribed singing. “We empower health care professionals, caregivers and individuals to utilize music as medicine on a mass scale for the first time in history,” Zelene adds.
“At Mizel, teamwork, inclusive-
ness and positive energy are
part of the job description.”

PHILIPPE AND ARLETTE LARRABURU CSU Channel Islands has received one of the largest gifts in the history of the University from the estate of Philippe and Arlette Larraburu, two very early supporters of Ventura County’s only 4-year public university. CSUCI is the sole beneficiary of the Larraburu estate, a bequest the couple established in 2001—which ultimately grew into a $30 million gift. “Words cannot express our tremendous gratitude to the Larraburu family for their trust in our University, backed by a gift that will provide so much for our students,” said CSUCI President Richard Yao. “A gift of this stature is a testament to the power of personal philanthropy and to the fact that CSUCI is a smart investment for donors, community partners and students alike.”
Zelene Fowler, Owner, Mizel Estate Wines
Born in Paris, France, Philippe helped his mother survive World War II after losing his father as a teenager. He went on to pursue technical training at prominent trade schools in Paris and earned several degrees in optical engineering. Philippe traveled to Germany for further training and there, he met the woman who would become his wife—Arlette Janet Pioro—who was working as a French translator for the United States Corps of Engineers. The couple married in Paris in 1955, and they emigrated to the United States in the early 1960s, eventually moving to Ventura County and building their dream home in the Clearpoint neighborhood in Ventura in the early 1970s. In Southern California, Philippe created specialized lenses for the film industry, then opened his own optical lab and created lenses for industrial applications and weather satellites. Philippe and Arlette established a connection to CSUCI from the very beginning, staying connected as members of the Legacy Society and as annual supporters until Philippe’s death in October 2021. Arlette passed away in 2014, having been married to Philippe for 57 years. After Arlette’s passing, Philippe moved to Oxnard where he resided until his passing in 2021. The University did not learn of the plans for the bequest until Arlette’s passing, when Philippe donated a spectrometer and other equipment to the University’s physics program. It was only then that he shared the couple’s decision to name CSUCI as beneficiary of their estate.
Philippe and Arlette Larraburu Bequested to CSUCI
“We are profoundly grateful for the Larraburus’ bequest,” said CSUCI Vice President for University Advancement Richard LeRoy. “We also appreciate the Larraburus’ faith in higher education, and their belief that a strong public university can create priceless returns for its graduates, their families, employers and in fact, the entire region.” There are no restrictions on how the University chooses to use the gift, which is welcome news during these challenging times with budgetary limitations and possible reductions in permanent, long-term funding, Yao said. “While details regarding how much of the funding will go to which capital projects is not yet solidified, capital projects are my priority for how to make the most impactful, long-term use of the Larraburus’ gift,” Yao said. “We have benefitted tremendously from local community support and funds from the state to support construction of the Early Childhood Care & Education Center (ECC&EC), for example, but a significant funding gap for that project, among others, remains. This gift will allow us to see plans continue for the ECC&EC.” Loyal supporters like the Larraburus offer ways to manage the tension that exists between the realities of budget cuts in the immediate future and the need to plan for growth in the longer term, Yao said, adding, “The Larraburu gift provides us with great support for doing exactly this, allowing us to invest in capital projects and literally build for the future.” NOVEMB ER 2 0 2 3 | C I TYL I FE STYL E .

Put Your Eyes in Good Hands at Khanna Vision Institute ARTICLE BY TRACY MARCYNZSYN
When a dear friend’s cataract surgery went wrong, I immediately told her about Dr. Rajesh Khanna, an internationally recognized, award-winning top Lasik, PIE and refractive vision care specialist in Westlake Village. I knew about Dr. Khanna’s expertise in his field, having written several articles about him and his practice, Khanna Vision Institute, in Conejo Valley and Malibu Coast Lifestyle Magazines. He is also the bestselling author of Rejuvenating Aging Eyes. Thankfully, Dr. Khanna got her in for a consultation right away and quickly recommended a course of action that likely saved her eyesight.

cialist ensures the best outcomes. Dr. Khanna’s 30 years of experience and expertise as an American Board of Ophthalmology-certified surgeon and fellowship training in Corneal and Refractive surgery from University of Cincinnati inspires confidence in his patients. As Medical Director and Founder of Khanna Vision Institute, Dr. Khanna performs the safest and most technologically advanced methods of vision correction. These include Zeiss SMILE – the latest advancement in Lasik eye surgery. In this procedure there is no flap, increasing the safety of Lasik, while preserving all the benefits including quick healing. EVO ICL (implantable collamer lens) is a quick procedure for nearsighted patients not suitable for SMILE or Lasik. Considered a pioneer in reversing presbyopia, he specializes in painless, eye-friendly PIE surgery that utilizes a biocompatible, inert nano-engineered implant inserted through a self-sealing opening. Patients can rest assured that they are in good hands at Khanna Vision Institute, where patient safety is a priority and Dr. Khanna’s extensive skills and expertise offers multiple options to enhance your sight. “I will take the same care of your eyes as I did of my mom, son, other family members, my wonderful staff, physicians, surgeons, actors and thousands of others,” says Dr. Khanna. No More Dry Eyes One of the latest advances in eye care is Deep Eyelid Thermal Therapy (DETT), which gets to the root cause of dry eyes. Most people over 50 experience some form of dry eyes, such as redness and irritation, which is often mistaken for allergies. Over-the-counter treatments for dry eyes include medications, drops and ointments, however, these
methods provide a temporary solution, rather than addressing the root cause. “Dry eyes present a big problem,” says Dr. Khanna, noting that the active California lifestyle finds a lot of people outdoors where the sun and pollution can exacerbate the condition. There are two components of tears: the water produced from a lacrimal or tear gland and the oil produced from over a hundred oil glands in the lids. Similar to a pimple, lid oil glands can get clogged and prevent drainage of the liquid. This liquid can solidify and get infected leading to dry eyes, redness and even infections like styes. Dr. Khanna recommends DETT as a permanent fix. The formerly costly procedure—$3,600 just 3 years ago when it was newly introduced—has dropped to a more reasonable $500, making it an accessible solution to dry eyes for so many. The FDA-approved therapy involves applying heat to the lids, essentially melting the fatty secretions and unclogging the orifices. “The heat converts the solid butter substance to liquid, then we express the secretions with a special instrument,” explains Dr. Khanna, adding that this procedure has been very successful for so many, including a 96-year-old patient who was impressed and overjoyed with the treatment’s results. Just about everyone over 50, especially those suffering from dry eyes, can benefit from this therapy, says Dr. Khanna. For best results, he recommends two to three treatments 6 months apart and then on an as-needed basis. “Treating the root cause is less costly than buying drops and it’s more natural,” Dr. Khanna adds. For optimal eye care with an expert you can trust, visit Khanna Vision Institute for a free consultation. “We are here to make your journey to better vision as easy and stress free as possible. We understand your fears and concerns and will work to the best of our abilities to make it a joyful experience,” says Dr. Khanna. Learn more at KhannaInstitute.com or call 805.230.2126.

100 WOMEN WHO CARE CONEJO VALLEY Members of 100 Women Who Care Conejo Valley meet for an hour each quarter to learn about local nonprofits. At the meeting, three different organizations are presented for consideration. After the presentations, the membership votes on which one will be the recipient of their quarterly donation. Each member of the group commits to donating $100 per quarter. The organization with the most votes is the winner and all donations for that quarter go directly to them. The group supports four organizations each year. Currently, it’s Harbor House and its effort to support those who struggle in the Conejo Valley. Harbor House aims to help all people in the community find hope, gainful employment, affordable housing and a sense of personal well-being. Past recipients include James Storehouse, Bumblebee Foundation, Fit 4 the Cause, Safe Passage, Art Trek, Assistance League of the Conejo Valley, Conejo Schools FoundationHero-Up, Big Brothers Big Sisters and so many more! Since their inception in 2016, they have supported the Conejo Valley with over $172,000 in donations. Membership is open to any women who are interested in committing to supporting local charities in the Conejo Valley for a period of at least one year with a quarterly donation of $100.

BUMBLE BEE FOUNDATION The BumbleBee Foundation was established in memory of Jarren Donatini, who at the age of 4 passed away from a very rare form of liver cancer (Hepatoblastoma). During his 18-month battle with cancer, Jarren’s family was directly impacted with the overwhelming costs and emotional stress associated with caring for a pediatric cancer patient. Jarren touched the lives of many, but the families that rallied around him and his family, providing love, faith and hope during a time of great need, left such a profound impact that his parents immediately knew they were called to start an organization that would offer this same attitude of love and support for all families suffering from pediatric cancer.

Gather
Whether you’re hosting Thanksgiving or an autumn dinner party, setting a festive table creates the perfect cozy atmosphere. Improvise and use what you have around the house for adding elements to the table. Candlesticks, vases, little pumpkins and gourds, or fall decor you have on hand can make a great centerpiece. Add fresh flowers or dried foliage for that extra layer of texture and color.

Brass candlesticks with brown taper candles create a simple and elegant centerpiece. Use familiar accents such as amber jars filled with dried grass foliage and brass pheasants to adorn the table. To add a little character to the table, use a recycled wine bottle as a vase. The simple place setting is enhanced with a dried grass accent and brown silk ribbon tied into a bow to add a special touch to your traditional display. CONTINUED >

Are you planning to dine al fresco this fall? Create an earthy, fall garden party on the porch by using natural, organic elements, greenery and flowers. To make a statement, create a floral chandelier by hanging flowers upside down above the table using fishing wire (if your space allows). The centerpiece that runs down the length of this table consists of fresh eucalyptus with gold candlesticks and a ceramic pumpkin vase filled with flowers placed on top a tree trunk charger. Adding small pumpkins and fresh flowers along the center gives a little extra character. Instead of going with the classic white plate, enjoy a pop of color at your outdoor fall garden party with a blue place setting as a nod to the sky. Adding a cloth napkin and cloth placemat is a great way to add texture and more autumn color to your table. If the weather doesn’t cooperate on your day, bring the outdoors in with a lovely indoor garden party dressed up in fall foliage.
