CUSD solar panel projectDear Editor:

We appreciate the opportunity to ad-dress statements and requests made byJohn Marler in his letter published June16.

Our intent is to ensure that the entirecommunity understands the benefits ofour solar program and the process weused to engage interested communitymembers prior to making the formal de-cision to proceed with this project.

It is true that the investor-owned utili-ties are trying to change the time-of-userate structures in an attempt to diminishthe financial benefits of solar energy.The good news is that the ClaremontUnified School District was grandfa-thered into the current time-of-use periodsince our project has already been com-pleted and connected to the grid. Thismeans that whatever Southern CaliforniaEdison is able to get approved throughthe Public Utilities Commission willhave no impact on the expected savingsfor CUSD.

When the district began to seriouslyconsider the installation of solar canopies,a board of education workshop was con-ducted on October 6, 2015. The meetingwas advertised and open to the public.

The workshop included an open dis-cussion with information presented on:appropriate sizing of the project, powerpurchase agreement terms, power con-

sumption and projected costs. The district also hosted a community

information meeting on October 5, 2016,notice of which was published in an ad-vertisement in the Claremont COURIERon September 30, 2016. The meeting in-cluded a Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ) segment. The FAQ was subse-quently posted on the district’s websiteand can be found at cusd.claremont.edu.

The COURIER also published articlesor provided updates to the communityregarding the solar project on August 27,2015, December 23 and 31, 2015, Feb-ruary 4, 2016, June 2, 2016, October 11,2016 and December 30, 2016, prior tothe article that caught Mr. Marler’s atten-tion on June 9, 2017.

Various aspects of the project wereagendized and discussed openly at pub-lic board of education meetings through-out the planning and implementation ofthe solar initiative.

We appreciate the public’s questions,interest and support of Claremont Uni-fied School District. Please feel free tocontact the superintendent’s office at [email protected] with anyfurther questions or concerns.

At 9 a.m., with the sunalready blazing over-head, the campers at

Afterward, they break off into smallgroups, some going to archery, some tothe newly-installed ropes course andothers to various other games and activ-ities.

The storied La Casita campground,tucked into the dusty hills north ofClaremont near the Claremont HillsWilderness Park, will be open for twoone-week sessions this summer, fromJune 19 to June 23 and from June 26 toJune 30.

Each session will have 70 campersbetween five- and 12-years-old, super-vised by a team of eighth, ninth and10th grade program assistants, otheradult volunteers and a representativefrom the Girl Scouts of Greater LosAngeles (GSGLA).

This is the second year of camp pro-grams since La Casita reopened lastsummer. The site had not been used forseveral years, and the Girl Scouts wereconsidering selling it, but a group of

local volunteers worked to save and re-open the camp.

“When we heard[about thepossible sale],

we thought, ‘Why aren’t weusing it?’” La Casita volunteerCatherine Caporale said. “Itwas in such good shape, so itdidn’t take much to reopen it.”

The camp only ran for one week lastsummer, but demand was high enoughto open the camp for a second weekthis summer, with a waitlist of appli-cants who could not attend.

“It says a lot about the need in thearea,” Ms. Caporal said.

With La Casita’s reopening has comesome new features and activities for thecamp. In 2016, a local group of EagleScouts built an archery range, withtraining and live range areas. For the2017 year, La Casita installed a ropescourse.

The ropes course was made possibleby a $3,000 donation from ClaremontRotary; a $700 donation from the Ki-wanis Club; a $3,000 by Paula Pitzerand various donations from other citi-zens, according to Ms. Caporale. Ms.Pitzer also matched donations of up to$1000 by private donors.

Claremont COURIER/Friday, June 23, 2017 3CITY NEWS

Claremont’s Dial-A-Ride systemcould undergo a big overhaul, ifapproved by the city council.

Following a report by a third-party group, the city isplanning to improve a number of aspects of the trans-portation system, including a single phone number forall inquiries, a new website and a new driver.

The plans were presented to the Community andHuman Services Commission on Wednesday, June 7.The commission passed the plans unanimously, direct-ing them to be sent to the city council for final ap-proval.

The plans, presented by Management Analyst CariDillman of the Community Services Department, wereborne from an outside assessment by AMMA TransitPlanning into how the city could improve its Dial-A-Ride program. The Pomona Valley Transportation Au-thority (PVTA) operates the program.

According to Ms. Dillman, AMMA noted four areasof improvement—customer service, service capacityand on-time performance, expansion of service andthe addition of a smartphone app.

All items, except for the smartphone app, are set tobe implemented by the city pending council approval.

The plans were previously presented to the Trafficand Transportation Commission (TTC) on May 25,where it passed with a 4-2 vote.

The assessment, Ms. Dillman noted, also found thatinformation about the Dial-A-Ride service was hard tofind among the several phone numbers used for eachpart of the service.

“The main thing is that it’s very confusing,” shesaid. “It’s all there, it’s just hard to get to it.”

The solution: a single telephone number to cover allpossible inquiries, whether it be registering for the

service, requesting a ride, giving feedback or making acomplaint.

Importantly, the city will also hire a new driver totake the load off peak hours. According to the minutesfrom the TTC meeting, Commissioner Walter Farmerhad reservations about long wait times for pick-ups,noting residents at the Claremont Villa senior apart-ments were waiting exorbitant amounts of time for aride.

While Ms. Dillman noted AMMA found currentDial-A-Ride vans have a 95 percent on-time rate, sheacknowledged punctuality during peak hours has stillbeen a problem.

Resident Jackie Jeffress, during public comment atthe May 25 TTC meeting, noted things had gottenworse when PVTA contracted with American Cab forthe Dial-A-Ride two years ago.

Community Services Director Roger Bradley saidin a phone interview that the extra driver was hired toalleviate some of the delays. While the driver will bededicated to Claremont only, they will still be an em-ployee of PVTA and American Cab, which has oneyear left on its contract.

The new driver will be paid $35,000 a year, accord-ing to the city.

The city and PVTA are also creating a part-timemobility manager position to field calls from cus-tomers, at a cost of about $10,000 annually, Ms. Dill-man said.

The city also wants to establish its own transporta-tion website, GoClaremont.com, that will give infor-mation to seniors and other Claremonters about whereto go and how to get there.

“Instead of knowing what service you want to useto get where you want to, we’re going to ask youwhere you want to go and tell you what service touse,” Ms. Dillman said.

The creation of the website will cost the city a one-time $60,000 fee, plus an annual maintenance fee of$10,000, according to the city. The website wouldserve as a possible precursor to a Dial-A-Ride mobilephone app, which the city is not recommending at thispoint, Ms. Dillman said.

Other improvements include re-branding the Dial-A-Ride vehicles with the same forest green shade asthe sanitation trucks, and Ms. Dillman noted that thecity would update the printed material to make thebrochures, “more clear, less wordy and less heavy.”

The program is also increasing its hours, adding aSunday service from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and expandingtheir Monday to Saturday service from 6 a.m. to 10p.m.

Currently, fares are $2.50 a ride for the general pub-lic and $1.50 for seniors. The rates reflect a 2015 fareincrease of about a dollar for each category. Mr.Bradley explained the service was so popular, the feeincrease was implemented as a way to curb theamount of people using the service.

“It was so cheap and it was used by so many peo-ple, it was almost overused,” he said.

The total budget with the staff’s recommendationwould amount to $732,000, Ms. Dillman said, all fullyfunded by the city’s transportation funds throughProposition A, as well as various grants.

The commission was impressed with the report.Chair Butch Henderson, who made the motion to ap-prove the recommendation, was the most vocal in hissupport.

“It seems to me that it depresses a lot of complaintsand problems that I hear,” he said. “It’s well overdue.”

The next step is for the plans to be heard by the citycouncil.

Coach Reeves earnsstate award as girlstrack coach

Claremont High School Track andField Coach Bill Reeves receivedanother award on Saturday when

the California Coaches Association namedhim Girls Cross Country Coach of theYear during the group’s annual banquet inSacramento.

Earlier in the year, the association presented CoachReeves with a regional award, but he was not awarethat he would receive the statewide award, one of twogiven for girls cross-country, in advance of the banquet.

“It was quite an honor,” Coach Reeves said thisweek, noting that it was a complete surprise.

CHS Principal Brett O’Connor, who flew to Sacra-mento for the banquet, snapped a picture as Dan Swa-gerty, president of California Coaches Association,presented Coach Reeves with his plaque.

The cross-country program has been gettingstronger for the past few years, but it really came to-gether under the tutelage of Coach Reeves, who is be-ginning his third year in the position.

Claremont’s dominance was apparent from thestart, sweeping the Palomares League meets, the CIF

prelims, and with a CIF Southern Section Division 2victory for the girls, a first for the program. The cul-mination of their great season came when the girlsand the boys teams both claimed California state ti-tles.

The program looks good this year as well, withSydney Hwang returning as a junior and a host of JV

runners taking the torch from the graduating seniors.

Despite these generous donations,GSGLA still needs approximately$4,000 to cover the remaining costs ofthe $18,000 ropes course, which hasbeen a real hit with campers.

“It was a little scary but not much. Ihad fun,” camper Genevieve Reyessaid. Genevieve was one of the firstcampers to tackle the tightrope.

To operate the course, GSGLA part-nered with Pomona College’s OutdoorEducation Center (OEC). The OEChelped GSGLA with the design and op-erates it with its own staff. In exchange,the OEC can use it for its own pro-grams and to organize use by outsidegroups.

In addition to archery and the ropescourse, La Casita has activities in art,teamwork and leadership, as well ascamping-related activities like knot-tying and orienteering.

“They’re practicing and learning thecore values of scouting and dabbling. inmany ways, in some of the nature andoutdoors elements. And we tie in art inas many ways as we can,” La CasitaDirector Deanne Moore said.

La Casita’s volunteers are allstrongly committed to the program andthe Girl Scouts in general.

“Ihave been a girlscout for almost 60years,” volunteer

Beverly Speak said. “It gaveme the skills and tools to bewho I am, and I want to passthat on. It’s a way of life, notan activity, it’s a way ofbeing.”

La Casita and the Girl Scouts in gen-eral provide girls with new skills and aconnection to the environment, accord-ing to several volunteers.

“It’s really important. They’re learn-ing new things, making connectionsand learning new abilities,” volunteerJulia Hobson said. “Why wouldn’t youwant to be a part of that?”

Some of the PAs were inspired to

volunteer by their experiences at thecamp last year.

“I love helping out the kids,” PAOlivia Stradley said. “I went to thecamp last year. I looked up to the PAsand I wanted to become one.”

The PAs and volunteers’ hard workpays off, since the campers greatlyenjoy La Casita.

“I’m here because I like to climb andplay in the wild and play with myfriends,” camper Savannah Speak said.

Donors interested in helping GSGLApay the remaining costs for the ropescourse can visit girlscoutsla.thankyou4caring.org/la-casita. People or groupsinterested in using the ropes course cancontact the Pomona OEC [email protected] or (909) 607-2531.

Claremont COURIER/Friday, June 23, 2017 6COLUMNIST

You hear assorted terms tossedaround relating to the provenanceof plants and animals, but what do

they mean? “Native” means the organism evolved in the area

where it is residing. But of course, some areas are big-ger than others. Giant sequoia trees and Tule elk arenative to California, but not to Claremont. Evenwithin smaller areas like Claremont, the local condi-tions dictate what is “native.”

Buckwheat, sagebrush and quail are native to thecoastal sage scrub in the Bernard Field Station; mule-fat and rushes were native to formerly wetter areassuch as where Pilgrim Place is now. A native speciescan cover a very wide area or can be very restricted inits habitat—some insect species may only occupy afew acres. Saying a species is “endemic” means it isrestricted to a particular area; bristlecone pines are en-demic to high altitudes in the western US.

“Exotic” plants and animals are ones that haven’tevolved in an area. Hybrid tea roses, saguaro cactus,daffodils, corn, tomatoes, those pesky fox squirrelsand our dogs and cats (and us) are all exotics in Clare-mont. The coast redwoods you see around town arenative to California but exotic to Claremont.

Many exotic species do just fine when introducedto areas that have conditions similar to those in whichthey evolved or if the conditions they need are pro-vided, and many don’t create any serious problems in

their new location. “Naturalized” species are exotic species that are

well-adapted to a new habitat, which means that theytreat the new area as their own and will grow and re-produce there without any outside help.

Sweet alyssum, black mustard, tree tobacco andNorway rats all will flourish locally without any helpfrom us. In our urban gardens that get some degree ofextra water, fertilizer or shade, many other exoticplants will seed themselves around.

In my garden, honesty, heavenly bamboo, violets,and fortnight lily appear in random spots but are eas-ily removed where not wanted. Many species such asEuropean honeybees were introduced intentionallyand are so well-adapted to a variety of habitats thatthey have spread throughout the country.

“Invasive” species, however, are another kettle offish (so to speak). Without the natural checks and bal-ances that evolved with them, some exotic speciesnaturalize so well that they start crowding out nativespecies and altering the local ecology.

Argentine ants and zebra mussels came in acciden-tally, but Kudzu in the south and tamarisk in thedesert were both introduced intentionally. Non-nativeannual grasses across California have changed the

landscape, as has the fox squirrel that is spreadingthrough the state is displacing our native gray squir-rel. Fox squirrels are very adaptable and reproducemuch faster than their gray cousins, so they are eatinga lot more of our garden fruit and vegetables as wellas new shoots on shrubs and trees.

Quite a few insect pests, such as the shothole borercurrently attacking many trees in Claremont, are inva-sive exotics. Whether an exotic species is invasive ornot varies—purple loosestrife, originally from Europeand Asia, can be a serious invader of wetland areas,but won’t be able to escape into the wild from gar-dens in dry areas like ours.

So, what does this mean for the ordinary Claremontcitizen? Should you limit yourself only to local nativeplants and eschew all exotics?

If you want a garden entirely adapted to our localconditions, then maybe you do: we have some lovelyplants that are native to the Claremont area such asbuckwheat, toyon, penstemons and coast live oaks.But most of us gardeners find it hard to resist theamazing variety of plants that have evolved in otherareas of the world, and want them all! So what to do?

My two cents: follow sustainable practices in yourgarden (you can find a helpful PDF on the gardenclub pages at sustainableclaremont.org); avoid any invasive plants in our area; include both natives andother plants that will support native insects and otherwildlife; and most of all, don’t forget to have fun andmake your garden a place you want to be!

DemystifyingSUSTAINABILITY

Proper tree trimming keepstrees healthyDear Editor:

The city of Claremont is well known forour abundant trees and beautiful land-scaping. The city places great impor-tance on maintaining our urban forest,which has been recognized in our ArborDay Foundation Tree City designation for30 years.

The city has two arborists that contin-ually monitor the condition of our trees andprovide educational and informationalresources to our residents. The city’s TreePolicy and Guidelines Manual estab-lished standards of care and process to en-sure our city’s trees are maintained. The cityalso has a tree pruning schedule for all city-owned trees and specific guidelines forhow trees are pruned.

While we all know watering is essen-tial to tree health, knowing how to prop-erly prune your trees may be confusing.Proper pruning of trees can be healthy fora tree while over pruning can be detri-mental to a tree’s health.

Pruning should be done to removedead or diseased branches to help preventinsect and decay organisms from enteringthe tree.

Thinning a dense canopy on a tree to in-crease air and sunlight can result in few-er disease problems. However, healthytrees need foliage (leaves or needles) tomanufacture food to sustain them. Re-moval of too much foliage can lead to star-vation, reduced ability to fight off diseaseand insects, decline in health and evendeath for the tree.

Recently, a concerned resident submit-ted a letter to the COURIER editor re-garding the heavy trimming of the pinetrees at an apartment complex on BonitaAvenue. The pine trees along Bonita and

the trees within the complex were overlytrimmed by a private contractor. The citydoes not have jurisdiction over private trees.However, the over pruning of these treescould have been prevented using thecity’s pruning guidelines and consultingwith a certified arborist.

The city of Claremont wants to en-courage residents to hire only arborists andtree trimmers that are certified by the In-ternational Society of Arboriculture. Cer-tified arborists will be familiar with treespecies, proper pruning techniques and willbe able to determine if the tree is diseasedor in poor health.

To find a certified arborist, visit the web-site isa-arbor.com and click on “Find an Ar-borist” at the top of the page. You will betaken to a page where you can either finda certified arborist and tree trimmer and cancheck for credentials.

The city would also like to remind res-idents that tree contractors must have a citybusiness license and, for your safety, theyshould be insured.

Lastly, the trimming or removal of anytree in the public right-of-way requires ap-proval and a permit issued by the city ar-boris. For more information, contact theCommunity Services Department at (909)399-5431. Dave Roger

Our National MonumentDear Editor:

In 2014, President Obama increased pro-tection for 346,177 acres of the AngelesNational Forest, part of which is directlyabove Claremont, by creating the San

Gabriel Mountains National Monument. In an unprecedented action in April, In-

terior Secretary Ryan Zinke placed it ona list of 27 recently designated nationalmonuments to be reviewed. The resultscould lead to congressional action thatwould reduce the size of the monument oreliminate it altogether.

The board of the Claremont WildlandsConservancy (CWC) urges residents to callSecretary Zinke or to write an email, post-card or letter in support of our endangeredmonument. The deadline is July 10.

One of the administration’s argumentsfor initiating the review is that commu-nity participation in the process of creatingthese monuments was lacking. We needto demonstrate that this was not thecase.

The CWC’s letter to Secretary Zinke isas follows:

Dear Secretary Zinke:We like to think of the SGMNM as

a wonderful example of an Urban Pro-tected Area (UPA) that carves out wildand protected land adjacent to a largeand sprawling metropolitan region. LosAngeles County has a population of al-most ten million people and this pop-ulation has limited access to parklandsand open space.

The SGMNM offers an extraordi-nary opportunity to open up recre-ational opportunities for many un-derserved communities through edu-cational programs, expanded walkingand hiking trails, and improved pub-lic transportations systems.

The public demand for such recre-ational opportunities is extremely

high. When surveying usage of ourWilderness Park, we found that 80 per-cent of the 400,000 annual visits to ourpark were from visitors who livedsome distance from Claremont. Visi-tors of all ages came regularly as didrepresentatives of a wide number ofracial and ethnic groups. Like ourcoastlines and beaches, wild places inour mountains and foothills should re-main open and accessible to all.

You have gone on record stating thatthe Department of the Interior shouldbe a “good steward” of the public landsunder federal jurisdiction. It shouldalso listen to the communities impactedby monument designations. There isno doubt that communities in Los An-geles are desperate for more recre-ational opportunities in their “backyards” and the designation of theSGMNM in October 2014 was awonderful and long overdue step to-ward meeting those needs. Moreneeds to be done to make the monu-ment open and accessible to all, butcommunity groups such as ours areready and willing to do our part.Children growing up in Pomona, ElMonte or Alhambra should have theopportunity to experience their localmountains just as you had that op-portunity in Montana and in GlacierNational Park.

We urge you to retain and even toexpand the current boundaries of theSan Gabriel Mountains National Mon-ument. Moreover, we urge you towork with Congress to assure fundingto realize the potential of this treasuredpublic resource.

Elvira’s opens with focus on Mexican heritage, Claremont history

For Oscar and Sandra Torres, open-ing a second Elvira’s Mexican Grillin Claremont was a no-brainer.

After all, many customers at their Upland restaurantwere Claremonters who practically begged the couple toopen a location in the City of Trees.

They couldn’t have picked a better location—the sec-ond iteration of Elvira’s (pronounced El-VEE-rah),named after Oscar’s late mother, opened on Friday, June16 at the Old School House.

According to Mr. Torres, the process to move into thehistoric location took more than a year, as the building’sowner, Harry Woo, worked through renovations. Duringthe remodel, which took place last fall, three original fres-cos—a student reading, a student playing music and an-other in a chemistry lab—were restored.

Once renovations were done, the Torres family thenpitched the idea of opening Elvira’s in the space.

“They were very excited,” Mr. Torres said. “Theyloved the food, they loved the atmosphere. And one thingled to another, and next thing you know we’re starting theproject here in Claremont.”

Walking through the front entrance, one can tell it wasworth the wait. The restaurant, located in the former li-brary of the old Claremont High School, is decorated inluxurious hues of beige, gold and brown. A massive andornate wooden bar—hand-carved and custom made inMexico for the restaurant—looms over the lounge area.

The space is peppered with sculptures and paintings ofMexican folk heroes, such as Ignacio Allende (the name-sake of San Miguel de Allende, the town where Mr. Tor-res was born), and entertainers such as Vicente Fernandezand Lucha Villa.

“The whole idea is to bring a little culture to the restau-rant,” Mr. Torres said.

COURIER photo/Steven FelschundneffOscar and Sandra Torres opened their first location of Elvira’s Mexican Grill in Upland in 2012. The originalrestaurant was quite small and, as popularity grew, they dreamt of having more space. Now they haveopened a second location at the Old School House in Claremont, which has a large dining room, a roomyoutdoor patio and an adjacent lounge and bar.

ELVIRA’S/continues on the next page


Mr. Torres’ family history has always beenintertwined with the restaurant business. Hegrew up in the San Fernando Valley, wherehis family ran Marco’s Deluxe Smorgasbordin the 1970s. The family worked together,making cheese blintzes and beef stroganoff,in addition to traditional Mexican food. It wasan outfit reminiscent of Griswold’s smor-gasbord adjacent to the Old School House.

“My mom had a gift for food,” Mr. Tor-res said. “She could make so many differ-ent types of dishes.”

After 13 years at the family business, Mr.Torres ventured out, taking a position as re-gional director for Real Mex Restaurants,which owns a number of companies, in-cluding El Torito. After 25 years in the cor-porate world, he retired and wanted to goback to his roots—owning and operating aMexican restaurant.

He would name it after his late mother,who passed away in 2001, and use herrecipes for classic and delicious Mexicanfare. The first Elvira’s Mexican Grill openedin Upland in December 2012.

“My parents have owned their own busi-ness all their life,” Mr. Torres said. “I real-ized that’s mostly my own motivation—thatI wanted one day to own my own business.Since I have done management and retiredas regional director, you pretty much havedone almost everything. So, it was time.”

But the road was tough at first. Oscar,Sandra and their three daughters—Jackie,Michelle and Susana—were manning mostof the positions at the time, and clientele wasscarce. Mr. Torres got emotional when re-counting those difficult first few months.

“It was like, you have no capital, the billsare above you, you just get to a point whereyou have nowhere to turn,” he said. “You’relike, ‘God, what are we going to do?”

The Torres family turned to their pastor,who came in with his wife and assistant pas-tors and prayed for the restaurant. It was alast-ditch effort to try to save a familybusiness that was quickly going under.

The next day, a miracle happened. By Oscar’s recollection, two women ar-

rived at the restaurant, ate a couple oftostadas and left without generating muchbuzz. What Mr. Torres didn’t know at the

time was that one of them was a reporter fora local newspaper.

A few days later, a glowing review of therestaurant was published, and they were sud-denly inundated with customers.

“Keep in mind, I was in the kitchen bymyself and [Sandra] was in the front by her-self,” Mr. Torres said. “And all of a suddenthe phone starts ringing off the hook.”

From then on, the family couldn’t keepcustomers away—not that they wanted to.They began catering for the Upland UnifiedSchool District, and in no time the 15-tablerestaurant would regularly have lines out the

door.The family knew they needed to expand,

but were hesitant due to their past experi-ences. But this time, they are blessed witha loyal cabal of regular customers.

“Once people know that we’re here andwe’re open, they’re going to be very excit-ed,” Mr. Torres said. “As a matter of fact,we’ve had several [regulars] come in andthey are thrilled, especially when they arewalking through the restaurant.”

Elvira’s promises a more upscale expe-rience, complete with salad and guacamolepreparation tableside and a diverse list ofhearty and healthy options.

One dish Mr. Torres singled out is the fa-jitas patron, a medley of grilled chicken,grilled steak, shrimp, rice, beans, gua-camole and pico de gallo. Another dish, thesizzling fajita salad, combines the warmthof fajitas with crisp hearts of romaine and oth-er veggies, all made tableside.

One feature Claremonters may notice isattitude. Mr. Torres aims to strike a perfectbalance between an upscale restaurant andone where anyone can come in and feel athome.

“That’s how we differentiate ourselvesfrom the competition,” he said. “We’repersonable, and we make sure that peopleleave happy, not just ‘drop your money andthank you very much.’ You’ll want to comeback.”

Elvira’s is located at 415 Indian Hill Blvd.,Suite 100. The main entrance is on the westside, facing Trader Joe’s and the CandlelightPavilion. Give them a call at (909) 399-3300.

Former Claremont resident ShirleyFenn Baldwin Hartman died at her homein Salt Lake City on June 3, 2017.

Shirley was born to Donald FennBaldwin and Luella Belle Macklin, inPatchogue, Long Island, New York onJuly 15, 1922. In reflecting upon her life,her family remembers her as a woman ofsharp intellect with an insatiable curios-ity about the world, who freely sharedher considerable talents with others. Shewas a master seamstress, accomplishedgardener, collector and creator of art,lover of birds and nature and an avidreader. She was perfectly suited for herdream career as a mother and home-maker.

In her early years Mrs. Hartman livedin Bellport, New York. Later, she movedto Albany, where she was selected to at-tend The Milne upper school. Upongraduation, she received a scholarship toattend Alfred University, where her loveof reading and books led her to earning adegree in English literature and theater.

While at Alfred, she met Guy Hart-man, whom she married on December28, 1943. In her junior year, she learnedshe was expecting their first child; butthis did not deter her from completing

her degree, which she earned in June of1945.

On the heels of World War II, Dr.Hartman became a military physician-in-training and was deployed to Germanyin 1948. The three years they spent inGermany were happy ones, and there,they welcomed their second child.

Returning in 1951 to settle in Clare-mont, Mrs. Hartman fondly rememberedthe day the missionaries knocked on her

door, changing her life forever. She andDr. Hartman were baptized as membersof the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in 1953, and were sealed inthe Salt Lake City, Utah temple in 1955.

By 1958, three more children hadcompleted their family. Mrs. Hartman’slove of children’s literature and dramamade her ideally suited for her job atradio station KCET, where she read forthe children’s story program.

Mrs. Hartman’s family admired herdiverse talents and how they were indis-pensable in fulfilling her varied churchcallings. Her reputation as a skilledwriter with theater experience paved theway to some of her most cherishedchurch assignments, including writingand directing numerous church plays andprograms. She enjoyed great success anda sense of fulfillment from the creationof these memorable and moving produc-tions, her family shared.

Mrs. Hartman was passionate aboutgenealogy and deeply dedicated to pre-serving the legacy of her family. Hersense of beauty and style was evidencedin every aspect of her life and her spiritwas fed daily by the wonders of the earth.Her family appreciated how she shared

that spiritual bond with others, and therewas nothing more important to her thanthose connections. The values Mrs. Hart-man was taught as a child compelled herto become a person of uncompromisingintegrity and honesty, recalled her family,and she dedicated her life to the pursuitof excellence in all things.

She is survived by her five children:Eric Vreeland Hartman, Fenn ElizabethKetchoyian, Christina Hartman Fair-weather, Peter Bain Hartman and JulianaHartman Erdody; 21 grandchildren; 32great-grandchildren; and four great-great-grandchildren.

Funeral services will be held today,Friday, June 23, at the Princeton WardChapel in Salt Lake City. Gravesideservice and burial will be on July 15 at 2p.m. in the Cossayuna Lake Cemetery inArgyle, New York.

The family suggests donations in Mrs.Hartman’s name be made to the NaturalResources Defense Council atnrdc.org/honor or to the Audubon Soci-ety at action.audubon.org. Additionally,if you have memories or stories of mo-ments shared with Mrs. Hartman thefamily would appreciate hearing fromyou via email at [email protected].

Edward L. Brown died May 22, 2017in Fort Worth, Texas at the age of 91.

Edward, or Ed as he was known to hisfriends and family, was born March 5,1926 in El Paso, Texas to Henry andMarjorie Brown. He grew up in El Paso,graduating from Austin High School. Heattended the University of New Mexicounder the US Navy V-12 program to be-come a Naval officer. His love of flyingled to his transfer to the US Navy V-5program for the Naval Air Force at St.Mary’s College. He later transferred tothe Naval Air Station at Alameda, Cali-fornia.

World War II ended before his train-ing was complete, so he returned to civil-ian life as a student at USC. While atUSC he married his childhood sweet-heart, Ruby Lee Hadlock, in 1946. Hefinished his final year at New MexicoState University in Las Cruces, graduat-ing with a degree in aeronautical engi-neering.

The couple then moved back home toEl Paso, Texas, and welcomed their firstson, Russ, in 1948. A second son, Jeff,was born there in 1953.

Mr. Brown worked for Boeing Air-craft in Seattle, Washington. While liv-ing in the Puget Sound area he continuedhis love for flying, learning to pilot sea-planes. He later went to work for the USgovernment at White Sands ProvingGrounds in New Mexico. During thistime, Mr. Brown and his then-brother-in-law, Boyd, tried their hands at prospect-ing for uranium.

Soon after, Mr. Brown was hired byAerojet General in Azusa, where he

worked on a number of propulsion proj-ects, including the rockets that launchedthe first US satellites into orbit. After atwo-year transfer to Aerojet’s Washing-ton, DC office, Mr. and Mrs. Brown re-turned to California and settled into theirhome in Claremont, where they re-mained for 33 years.

The couple loved Claremont’s senseof community, its schools and parks, andwere active throughout their timehere. Their sons and grandchildren allgraduated from Claremont High School.Mr. Brown took great pride and joy in hismany years of participation in Clare-mont’s Fourth of July Parade, carryingdignitaries in his bright red 1968 Mer-cedes 250 SL convertible. He was alsoinvolved in the Claremont American Le-gion chapter. The couple were avidgolfers, and could often be seen playingmany rounds at the Claremont GolfCourse and many other local courses andclubs.

In the early 1960s Aerojet formed anew division, ITADCO, specializing ininternational trade and agricultural de-

velopment of countries around the world.Through this project, Mr. Brown was in-volved in developing a modern cattle in-dustry in Colombia. This was right upMr. Brown’s alley, as he really was aTexas cowboy at heart, family shared.

In the 1970s, Mr. Brown left Aerojetand, with a partner, formed his own com-pany, Clean Air Engineering, to developgasoline vapor recovery systems. Thosesystems were the forerunners of today’sgas pump vapor recovery nozzles. Afterhis company was sold, he worked forClayton Manufacturing as a sales repre-sentative until his retirement in 1991.

He loved music and dancing andplayed piano, ukulele and Latin percus-sion. He encouraged his boys to playmusic, buying both of them their firstguitars. The entire family enjoyed snowand water skiing together. Mr. Brownmade annual trips to Utah for deer hunt-ing. His sons have many fond memoriesof camping and fishing with their dad,family shared. He loved and took greatpride in his sons’ and grandchildren’s ac-complishments and relished spendingtime with them.

In 1993, after Ruby retired, the couplereturned to their Texas roots with a finalmove to Pecan Plantation in Granbury,Texas. They fulfilled their dream of liv-ing on a golf course and near a placewhere Mr. Brown could fish and fly.Throughout the past 24 years, they madelong-lasting friendships and enjoyedthemselves in their community, activewith golfing, fishing, bingo and bridge.Mr. Brown also took up oil painting andcreated some masterpieces that are treas-

ured by his family, they said. Mr. Brown was a proud and wonder-

ful provider, a loving husband, devotedfather and grandfather, his family shared.His presence will be greatly missed byhis family and friends, but his legacy re-mains within all who had the pleasure toknow and learn from him. The familytakes comfort in knowing Mr. Brownwas blessed with a long life filled withlove, that his faith was strong and he wasat peace at the time of his passing, theysaid.

Mr. Brown was preceded in death byhis parents and his brother-in-law, JimHadlock. He is survived by his lovingwife of 71 years, Ruby; sons RussBrown (wife Karen) of Hemet, and JeffBrown (wife Ann) of Claremont; sisterPeggy Browning (husband Bing) of ElPaso, Texas; sister-in-law Sue Hadlockof Rancho Mirage; granddaughter KimiOgg (husband Mike) of Santa Rosa;grandson Jeffrey Brown (wifeStephanie); granddaughter LoriCoughran (husband Steve) of Edmond,Oklahoma; grandson Adam Brown (wifeKatherine) of Hawthorne; great-grand-daughter Carina Ogg; great-grandsonsKasen, Braden and Karter; niece KarenBeck (husband Ken) of Mercer Island,Washington; and great-nephews Brian ofIssaquah, Washington and Carson of LosAngeles.

Robert Landau has a great storyabout Paul McCartney’s severedhead.

No, Mr. Landau isn’t suffering from paranoid delusions.The acclaimed photographer and author was referring toone of his most talked about photos, an image that involvesa mystery—since solved—surrounding the disappearanceof the Cute Beatle’s head from a billboard on the SunsetStrip in 1969.

The short version is an ambitious 19-year-old vandal,Robert Quinn, ambled up the giant billboard’s super-structure one night in 1969, shortly after the release of theBeatles’ “Abbey Road” record and, as a prank, sawed offMr. McCartney’s head.

Mr. Quinn made his way back to the San Fernando Val-ley with his ill-gotten souvenir, seemingly never to be heardfrom again. The billboard remained up, sans head, caus-ing a stir as the decapitation coincided with the rumor thatMr. McCartney was, in fact, dead. (All publicity is goodpublicity, and all that business.)

And that would have been the end of it if Mr. Landauhadn’t announced at an early promotional event for hisbook, Rock ‘N’ Roll Billboards Of The Sunset Strip,that he had a free, signed copy of his book for the un-known—and by then legendary—person who had pos-session of the purloined head. He was convinced noth-ing would come of the free book offer.

“But sure enough, the next day I get an email from thisguy claiming that he had Paul’s head,” Mr. Landau said.

The contact led Mr. Landau to the San Fernando Val-ley.

“And sure enough, there was Paul, hanging on his liv-ing room wall. Because of him, a little piece of that his-tory got preserved. Everything else is just gone.”

Mr. Landau will read from Rock ‘N’ Roll BillboardsOf The Sunset Strip, with a Q and A hosted by DavidAllen, author and columnist for the Inland Valley DailyBulletin, at 1 p.m. this Sunday, June 25, at RhinoRecords, at 235 Yale Ave., Claremont.

The book is a labor of love of rock ‘n’ roll and art, witha generous dash of teenage heartbreak. Mr. Landau’s par-ents divorced when he was 15. It’s a tough adjustment foranyone, to be sure, but to a kid with one foot in adoles-cence and the other in impending adulthood, it was dou-bly difficult. Add in the fact that the Vietnam War was rag-ing, and kids just a few years older were all but assuredto be drafted, one can hardly imagine the pressures build-ing in young Robert Landau.

His uncle gave him his first camera when he was 13. “Being in this artistic family, I was always kind of vi-

sually oriented,” Mr. Landau said.

He began taking photographs around his father’s WestHollywood apartment building, where Mr. Landau hadgone to live after his parents split.

“I was just a teenager and was kind of a shy kid,” hesaid. “Having a camera gave me a purpose. Instead of be-ing a bystander, I was a participant.”

Fortuitously, his interest in photography was buddingjust as the powerful record companies that dotted his neigh-borhood began installing gigantic, hand-painted billboardsalong Sunset Boulevard to promote their latest record re-leases. At its apex, the roughly two-mile stretch betweenLaurel Canyon and Doheny Drive boasted some 100 bill-boards on both sides of the street.

The teen spent mornings and afternoons walking to andfrom school, soaking up the vibrant culture among the mu-sicians, actors, performers, hustlers and everyday folksmaking their way in West Hollywood in the late-1960s.

The first thing that struck young Mr. Landau about thebillboards was the juxtaposition of the seemingly tinypainters rendering the outsized images of rock gods andgoddesses. It was a pivotal moment.

“I’d see these little guys painting these giant imagesof John Lennon and the Beatles on the Strip, 15 feet tall,”Mr. Landau recalled. “I just got sort of fascinated.”

The first billboard he shot was “Abbey Road” in 1969.The now iconic cover image pictured the band travers-ing a London crosswalk just outside their recording stu-dio. The album art was transposed in massive scale, es-sentially right outside the teenager’s window.

“It was just this great image. The only difference was,for the billboard, they had their heads protruding off theframe, sort of set against the sky.”

Thus began the evolution of Rock ‘N’ Roll BillboardsOf The Sunset Strip.

Photographer captured the signs of the times

NIGHT LIFEUnbeknownst to him, the young pho-tographer was documenting the history ofone of the most storied chapters in rock ‘n’roll promotion. In the 10 or so years Mr.Landau was photo-graphing the billboards,a few thousand cameand went.

“They’d be up forthree or four weeks andthen they’d just paintover them,” he said.“They’d be gone. Theywere very ephemeral,and there’s really noother record of this pe-riod.”

Another striking feature of the billboardswas that they often didn’t include adver-tising copy.

“That’s what made me think of them asart,” Mr. Landau said. “They weren’ttrying to hard-sell anything. It was reallyabout just connecting the artwork with thefans who were on the Sunset Strip. It wasthis very sort of non-commercial, com-mercial art form that was happening.”

It’s a long way from commercialism to-day, where goods are marketed nearlyeverywhere, from gas pumps to shoppingcarts.

“Well, that generation, the babyboomers, we were really kind of wary ofanything overly commercial. We’d usephrases like ‘Oh, he’s selling out.’ Therewas a sense then that you didn’t want tobe too commercial. There was a more spir-

itual, artistic sense to the music and the art.”It’s not lost on him that the body of his

billboard photography was concurrentwith the music industry’s final push towardthe complete commodification of rebellion.

The first billboard that went upwas in 1967 for TheDoors’ debut record.By the 1980s, whenthe billboards had allbut disappeared, themainstream music busi-ness looked quite dif-ferent.

“By late 1970s it hadturned back into just an-other moneymakingthing,” Mr. Landau

said. “And you can argue that the bill-boards were sort of the beginning of themonetization of that generation, but I re-ally think they were a separate thing. I thinksince so many record companies had of-fices there, and so many clubs were there,it really was the center or the music uni-verse in that period. It was more of a mat-ter of pride and ego than of blatant com-mercialism. I think that comes across in thetype of images you see in the book.”

Folks interested in hearing about andseeing images from Rock ‘N’ Roll Bill-boards Of The Sunset Strip can attendSunday’s 1 p.m. in-store at Rhino Records.There is also a free outdoor exhibit on viewthrough February 2018 that includes en-larged images from the book at 8775 Sun-set Blvd., West Hollywood.

You will be bidding ona lien, not on the property itself. Placing the high-est bid at a trustee auction does not automaticallyentitle you to free and clear ownership of the prop-erty. You should also be aware that the lien be-ing auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you arethe highest bidder at the auction, you are or maybe responsible for paying off all liens senior tothe lien being auctioned off, before you can re-ceive clear title to the property. You are encour-aged to investigate the existence, priority, and size

of outstanding liens that may exist on this prop-erty by contacting the county recorder’s office ora title insurance company, either of which maycharge you a fee for this information.
