Taking issue with the school bond
Dear Editor: I am a student of Claremont High School and I have been noticing this recent bond measure for our school district. It has been said that it will hit 4 major points: sustainability, modernization, repairs, and technology. Also, another initiative is to relieve the general fund. I really think that there has never been a better time to reject this invitation for failure. We are asking for money from a government that has none. This is due to the massive spending and wasting of money on meaningless projects, such as the city traffic circle installed and ripped out not even a year into service several years ago. It was brought into being under this same ploy, Other places have it. People who want new technology say that other schools have it, and that means were behind. The problem is, that is not the case. My fellow classmates and I have gotten along fine with what we have. We are, in fact, bewildered that the studentsthe ones who are lacking a quality education because we dont have enough money dont have a say in such a big waste of energy and time not only for us, but the state. This bond measure is just another disguised government/city/school district answer to spoiled with power teachers and supporters; and a spending spree. I am tired of mistakes being made in this country where a higher organization thinks it knows whats best for its people, instead of the people themselves. With dignity,
Scott Nicholes Claremont CHS Class of 2011
No blank check
[Editors note: The article discussed in the following letter was penned by education reporter Landus Rigsby, however, the questions and interview of the school bond committee were conducted by the entire editorial staff. The article was in no way an endorsement or a rejection of the bond, but merely an introduction to the committee and a general overview of the issue. The school bond measure is a developing story that will be followed closely by the COURIER. KD] Dear Editor: I read the full-page advertisement/ puff piece for the upcoming CUSD School bond that appeared on page 3 of Saturdays COURIER, uncritically written by Landus Rigby. There is much to take issue with in the answers of the members of the committee to Mr. Rigbys softball questions, but I will address just one. When asked about the project list and estimated costs of each project, committee member Bill Fox says this about the list: Its not ready to go public yet because weve pared down a list that was $165 million to $95 million Proposition 39, the law under which the school bond is being proposed, requires that a specific project list accompany the ballot measure when it is sent for election. Where is the transparency when the key bond proponents tell us they have a list but we cant see what it is? I also note the implication in that one sentence alone that the committee has diligently pared down a wild-eyed bluesky list costing $165 million to a lean $95 million. He fails to note that $95 million is the approximate bonding capacity, set also by Prop. 39, of the school district: 2.5 percent of the districts approximately $4 billion in assessed valuation, or approximately $100 million. So there never could have been $165 million in realistic projects, but the district is going for the largest amount it can. Im not inclined to give the school district a blank check for $95 million.

Whats for lunch? CUSD launches healthier menu
laremont Unified School District lunches will be greener and healthier when the 2010-11 school year begins in less than 2 weeks.
Students and parents sampled an enhanced salad bar and other future breakfast and lunch program offerings at the annual CUSD Food Festival in the El Roble Multipurpose Room last Wednesday. The salad bar made its debut for the first time during last weeks event. A lot of parents had heard about the [new] salad bar so we set it up for them to try out, said CUSD Nutrition Services Director Rick Cota. The kids wont be eating canned fruits and vegetables but instead they will be fresh. Were not ordering any fruits and vegetables that come from outside a 20-mile radius. Its going to cost more but I think its worth it and we hope that more kids eating food from our breakfast and lunch programs will offset the costs. Along with the debut of the new salad bar, this years festival also included the appearance of local community organizations for the first time in its history. Cal Poly Pomona, the CUSD Community Garden and Uncommon Good were a few of the organizations promoting school gardening and organic farming practices. Deidra Little of the Claremont Sustainability School Garden Group displayed 3 frames to illustrate how to transform newspaper and wood chips into usable compost. She helped to establish El Robles garden
during the previous school year and will be part of further gardening efforts on the junior high school campus. Its really nice to connect the dots for the students and this is a way to transform our food culture, Ms. Little said. The gardening projects are probably the easiest way to inspire kids to eat vegetables and healthier foods. Dr. Grubbs, Driftwood Dairy, Eddies New York Pizzeria, Gandolfos, Mannys El Loco, Pick Up Stix, Round Table Pizza and Subway were all featured vendors last Wednesday. The vendors provided a variety of food choices from pizza with turkey pepperoni on a whole wheat crust (Round Table Pizza) to whole wheat pasta with blackened chicken (Dr. Grubbs). Were trying to get picked up by all the schools,
said Dr. Grubbs manager Gavin Alarcon. We were really popular at Claremont High School and I think that our food caught on with the high school students last year. Attending the event for the first time with her daughters, CHS parent Chantha Ko was impressed by the direction the district is taking. The salad bar is good and really healthy, she said. This is my first time here but I had heard from a friend that this years event was going to be better than last year. I like it. I also talked to people from Cal Poly Pomona and I love the idea of gardening. Ms. Kos 14-year-old daughter, Tina, looks forward to what CHS will offer this year. Last year, the campus featured entrees from several vendors along with regular lunch offerings. I like that theres lots of different food, Tina said. I plan on eating lunch at school this year. Mountain View Elementary School parent Fabiana Aviles is pleased the district is going for a healthier approach and enjoyed being able to sample items that could be on the elementary school menu. Its great because we can be sure about what our children are eating, Ms. Aviles said. The salad bar is a good choice. Children do not need to eat junk food. The schools are growing different vegetables and fruits so they can eat them and thats a good idea.

Guerilla artist may not be exactly who youd expect
he guerilla artist who decorated the Village earlier this month isnt old enough to stay at home alone without a babysitter.
Claremonter Ben Alves, 11, was inspired to create and display the yarn-crafted artwork after reading The Guerilla Art Kit by author Keri Smith. The book offers tips on building and sharing guerilla art in ones local community. I really like doing crafts and I think [guerilla art] is a neat idea, Ben said. I hope to keep doing it. Ben worked together with his mother, local cello and music teacher Lynn Burrows, and the pair visited Harvard Avenue one morning to hang their artwork on trees, street signs and buildings. Being only 52, Ben was forced to climb trees or sit on his mothers shoulders to reach up high enough to hang his artwork on tree branches. I like the idea that people will stop and think during the middle of their busy day about a piece of art and hopefully appreciate it, Ms. Burrows said. Ben takes a private after school art class and enjoys painting, sketching, drawing and computer art. One of his paintings was selected by the city during the Enjoy Claremont banner decoration contest and was on display in the Village. Ben will be a student at El Roble Intermediate School in the fall.

The Claremont residents like the idea of leaving art in public places so passersby will wonder what it is and why it is there.

Sobriety checkpoints yield solid number of arrests
he Claremont Police Department made several arrests in recent weeks through 2 separate sobriety checkpoints. A total of 23 people were arrested.
The most recent checkpoint was on Sunday evening and located at Foothill Boulevard and Dartmouth Avenue. Officers screened a total of 1570 motorists between 6 and 11:30 p.m. One driver was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol, another was arrested for being a minor in possession of alcohol and 10 were arrested
for being unlicensed or driving with suspended licenses. Police also impounded 9 vehicles. On Sunday, August 8, police held a sobriety checkpoint at Monte Vista Avenue, just south of Claremont Boulevard. Polce arrested 11 motorists who were either unlicensed or driving on suspended licenses. The checkpoint ran from 6 to 11 p.m. and was passed through by 641 motorists. The intent of these checkpoints is not only to get drunk and unlicensed drivers off the street but also to offer some education for the public about dangers of driving under the influence, Claremont Police Lieutenant Shelly Vander Veen said. Lt. Vander Veen said about 4000 drivers and pas-
sengers are killed annually in California due to traffic accidents. Another 330,000 people suffer injuries while on the road each year. More than 20 percent of drivers who suffer injuries while driving are unlicensed, she said. The next sobriety checkpoint planned for Claremont will take place on Sunday, August 29 from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. The exact location has yet to be determined. Funding for the checkpoints comes from the California Office of Traffic Safety.

Be my friend
by Debbie Carini
hirty-five years ago I was mortified if my mother had to drop me off at the mall in front of my friends; a couple of weeks ago, she asked to be my friend on Facebook, the social networking website.
Sometimes, (okay, almost all the time) my kids are pained to have their mom on Facebook; so, imagine how I felt when my mother, my childrens grandmother for goodness sake, popped up on the screen wanting to friend me. Honestly, for some weird reason, it made me feel like a teenager againlike she was going to find out something about methat most of my friends are middle-aged parents, just like me. Oh...my...gosh?! Im actually not revealing anything on Facebook that I wouldnt be happy to share in this column and my mother always reads my column because A) she is proud of me and B) she wants to make sure Im not spilling too many family secrets. As a matter of fact, I rarely, if ever, post anything on Facebook. I mostly joined Facebook to spy on my children, and knowing that somehow made me feel like a teenager again when my moms face popped up on the screen with a request to be my friend. I instantly started thinking like a suspicious 15year-oldwould she approve of my other friends? Had I done anything crazy lately, (besides getting chickens, which she already knows about)? It should have come as no surprise to find my mom on Facebook, she has always been an early adopter: we were among the first families to enjoy Tang (drink of the astronauts) and Instant Breakfast; our first generation TV remote (the clicker) had only one button but my dad didnt have to get off the couch to change what he was viewing (just click his way through the dozen channels we had in 1969); she had an early microwave oven, and did not share my fathers opinion that the new-fangled gizmo was radiating brain cells; and her first car phone looked like a brick with buttons (it also might have been used to
ward-off a carjacker). Even my children are impressed with Grandmas innovative shopping, citing her early embrace of salad dressing in a spray bottle and shake-and-pour pancake mix. Its definitely hereditaryI know I was among the first moms to bring home yogurt in a tube. I like to think my mom thinks that life is like Disneylands Carousel of Progress (which we actually saw in its original incarnation at the 1964 Worlds Fair in New York)its a great, big, beautiful tomorrow went the theme songand my mom has eagerly embraced each eras technological advances; from the touch tone telephone to the flash cube on an Instamatic camera, from tentatively pressing send on her first email to friending her children and grandchildren on Facebook. Back in the early 1970s, when I was dashing out of my moms Ford Torino station wagon, barely waving goodbye as I ran toward my friends, I never could have imagined that I would someday click the button to friend her and even though we see each other almost every day, its still nice to see moms hi popup in the corner of my computer screen. LOL MOM.

Howard L. Rice
Respected for his national leadership and admired for his tenacity and enthusiasm in advocating spiritual disciplines and practices in the church throughout his long career despite spending many years confined to a wheelchair, the Reverend Doctor Howard Leland Rice died peacefully August 8, 2010 at his home in Pilgrim Place after spending a wonderful evening with his family. After being ill for many months, his death came on the birthday of his late daughter, Wendy. The Rev. Rice was 78 years of age. The eldest son of Howard and Alice Rice, Howard Rice was born on December 30, 1931 in Marshfield, Wisconsin. He attended school in Marshfield, graduating from high school in 1949. After graduating from Carroll College in Waukesha, Wisconsin with majors in history and sociology, he attended and excelled in theological studies at McCormick Seminary in Chicago, Illinois, graduating at the top of his class in 1956. While at Carroll College, the Rev. Rice met Nancy Zoerb, daughter of Alfred and Amanda Zoerb. They were married in 1955. Deciding to pass up a full scholarship for further graduate work, the Rev. Rice decided to enter parish mission work in the Inner City. With his wife, he began his career as a pastor at the House of Faith Church in the northeast neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota. During their 5 years there, their two daughters were born.
National Presbyterian Church Leader

structure. The building, designed by an award-winning architect in Chicago, was the first new building in the neighborhood in 75 years. Becoming well known at the national level for his work with urban churches and church structure, the Rev. Rice was elected at the 1967 General Assembly to represent the United Presbyterian Church USA as a delegate to the World Council of Churches in Uppsala, Sweden in 1968. Shortly after returning from Sweden and during the week of the historic Democratic Convention in Chicago, the Rice family boarded a train for California where the Rev. Rice began a two-year teaching position in Urban Ministry at the San Francisco Theological Seminary in San Anselmo. The position was under the auspices of the Board of National Missions of the United Presbyterian Church. At the urging of the student body at the seminary, the Rev. Rice was put under contract as professor of Practical Theology and given full faculty status. It was the beginning of a 29-year academic career. His family reports that he always disliked the title The Rev, much preferring to be known as Howard. The Rev. Rice had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis before his appointment to the San Francisco Seminary. After his retirement, the diagnosis was charged to spinal cord damage. The condition eventually resulted in a bone infection that became his final illness. While he taught, the Rev. Rice continued working in many areas of church life, both on the local and national level and served on many committees. He served as Moderator of the San Francisco Presbytery in 1977-78, and then was elected as Moderator of the 191st General Assembly in 1979-80. As leader of the national Presbyterian Church, the Rev. Rice visited churches in the U.S. and abroad speaking and listening to members of the church as well as leading the General Assembly Council and moderating many sessions of General Assembly committees. He made 72 cross country flights during that year. Upon his return to San Anselmo and the Seminary, the Rev Rice was named Chaplain there and began his work in spiritual direction. That work led to the publication of his book, Reform Spirituality: An Introduction for Believers, considered to be a definitive work in the area and widely used in seminaries worldwide. He was also instrumental in the development of a retreat/conference program called Companions on the Inner Way, used by hundreds of pastors and lay persons. Following his retirement in 1997, the Rev. Rice was awarded two honorary doctorate degrees and was named a Distinguished Alumnus of McCormick Seminary in 1998. Retirement did not diminish the Rev. Rices activity. He became a Theologian in Residence at the Presbyterian Church of the Roses in Santa Rosa, California for a time before he and his
REV. HOWARD L. RICE continues on the next page
In 1961, the Rices returned to Chicago, where the Rev. Rice became the founding pastor of a new Presbyterian church. The church, called Emmanuel, was a merger of two Methodist and one Presbyterian congregation, located in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago. The area was known as a port of entry for many ethnic groups coming to Chicago from Europe and the southern United States to seek employment. The ethnic mix was eastern European, Hispanic, Appalachian and Afro-American. During his years at Emmanuel, the Rev. Rice led the community neighborhood association, started the first in the nation neighborhood credit union, acquired federal funds to build a park/playground under a major freeway that cut through Pilsen and helped the congregation build a new church

Graydon D. Bell
Graydon D. Bell, Harvey Mudd College professor of physics emeritus, died of congestive heart failure at home under hospice care on July 20, 2010, surrounded by his family. He was 87. Born in 1923 in Paducah, Kentucky to Urban Radcliffe Bell and Hilda Ober Bell, Mr. Bell was pleased to live in Claremont for the last 53 years of his adventurous life. His father, an orator, college president and minister, established an independent printing business, the Hobson Press, in Cynthiana, Kentucky. His mother, an Oberlin College graduate, helped create the business. Also assisting was young Mr. Bell who, at the time, had little hope of attending college. In 1935 the family moved to Louisville, Kentucky. There, Mr. Bell spent his free time running track and on the tennis courts learning to perfect a pretty good game, which he ever-improved while playing throughout high school and at the University of Kentucky, the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), Robert College in Istanbul and, finally, as a geezer in Claremont, said his wife, Louise Bell. With the arrival of World War II, Mr. Bell went to the nearest recruiting site to enlist. When the recruiting officer attempted to register him with the Infantry, he insisted that he join the Air Corps, and no amount of argument dissuaded him. So, off he went to Florida for Army Air Corps basic training. Demonstrating officer potential, Mr. Bell was assigned to Yale University where he was drilled, trained and commissioned before being sent to Lafayette, Louisiana to serve as an armaments officer. He spent 2 years there before being sent to Colorado to be trained as a bombsight specialist with the Norden and Sperry bombsights. After leaving the service, Mr. Bell attended school on the GI bill, completing his undergraduate degree at the University of Kentucky, and then going on to graduate work at Caltech, focusing on Astrophysics. He took 3 years off from graduate school to teach in Istanbul at Robert College. He spent his summers volunteering at work campsites to rebuild Europe after the war. In Istanbul, Mr. Bell met Louise Wiley whom he married in 1954 in Pasadena. By the time Mr. Bell finished graduate school, he knew that he wanted to teach physics at a small college. When Harvey Mudd College founding president Joseph Platt approached him about a job, he already had offers from the University of California, Riverside, Oberlin College and Bucknell University. At first, he did not consider HMC, but Mr. Platt worked to convince him and eventually succeeded. Mr. Bell was hired in 1957 as one of the original faculty members of HMC, beginning as an assistant professor of physics. Shortly thereafter, he became a senior professor following the death of senior physicist Duane Roller. From 1971 to 1981, he served as department chair and remained proud of the standard

first sabbatical (1963-64). There, he worked for the Bureau of Standards. Another sabbatical in 1970 took the family to Ottawa, Ontario where Mr. Bell worked with the National Research Council of Canada. And, in 1978, they traveled to Hawaii, New Zealand and Australia where he spent the year fulfilling his National Science Foundation research grant in a University of Queensland research lab. During the summers between 1979 and 1982, he worked at GTEs Electro-Optics Laboratory in Waltham, Massachusetts. Travel continued whenever they had the chance: Norway, Turkey, Greece and 9 elder hostels in the U.S. To his love of tennis, Mr. Bell added sailing when he bought a Lido14 and competed in races at Puddingstone. When Harvey Mudd College obtained a sailing vessel, he passed the test for sailing the Mildred and became the sponsor for the colleges sailing club. Outdoor life also included camping as a family and hiking with his children. At 67, he took up glider flying. He enjoyed working in his shop, building airplanes and boats for his grandchildren and fixing anything that needed repairing. Mr. Bell is survived by his wife of 56 years, Louise Bell; his daughter, Kathy Russell; his son, Stephen Bell; his daughter and son-in-law, Carolee and Craig Dennis; and his grandchildren, Catlin and Piers Dennis and Mackenzie and Matt Russell. A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. on Sunday, August 29, 2010 at the Claremont United Church of Christ, Congregational. Memorial donations may be made to the Pomona Inland Valley Council of Churches; the Claremont United Church of Christ; or the Graydon and Louise Endowed Prize at Harvey Mudd College, Director of Advancement Services, Elizabeth Baughman.
of excellence that has been maintained for the physics faculty since. Mr. Bell then served as faculty chair from 1985-88, and though retiring after this post, he held an office at HMC until his death. Of his time teaching, Mr. Bell once said that his favorite part was the students: they were fun to teach. He had taught freshmen and sophomores at Caltech, but there was something different about Mudders. Family noted that he was a much-loved and respected professor who taught by example, asked thought-provoking questions and loved a good experimentat school and at home. A former student commented that, He had a gift for treating us like colleagues. His children explained that his manner and passion in the classroom spilled into his personal and family life, and he often juxtaposed science with broader topics he cared about intensely. He inspired everyone through his unassuming, modest way of telling stories or asking brilliant questions that kept us constantly curious as to the wonders of the science world and working toward world peacean often very relevant combination! said his daughter, Kathy Russell. For a period, Mr. Bell undertook leadership of the Adult Forum at Claremont United Church of Christ, Congregational, finding speakers and scheduling each meeting. He also led the Friday morning breakfast group of CUCCC men. Always interested in human rights, he was an advocate for people in poverty and, for many years, helped organize a group of fellow church members to take food to the Beta Center in Pomona. Mr. Bell belonged to the University Club, serving on the Scholarship and Grants Committee with Richard Kirkendall. For 10 years he filmed football games of the Claremont McKenna-Harvey MuddScripps College Stags, and he worked hard to change the neighborhood routes of MTA busses. Mr. Bells love of travel took him on explorations from British Columbia to Mexico and from California to Washington, DC where his family spent the
John L. Ilsley
A memorial service for longtime Claremont resident John L. Ilsley, MD, will take place at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, August 24, 2010 at Claremont Presbyterian Church. Dr. Ilsley, who practiced medicine locally for 57 years, died on August 12, 2010. He was 86. A more complete account of Dr. Ilsleys life will be published in an upcoming edition of the COURIER.
wife again entered the mission field and he served as acting president of Cook School in Tempe, Arizona, working with American Indian students from across the tribal nations to become lay leaders in their native churches. The Rices came to Pilgrim Place in 2005. The Rev. Gordon Douglass, former Moderator of Claremont Presbyterian Church, says of the Rev. Rice, Howard had a very distinguished career despite living most of his adult life in a wheelchair. He certainly revealed to us over the years a huge concern for the underdog. He was a progressive in every sense of the word and had a huge heart for people and for the church.
The Rev. John Najarian, pastor emeritus of Claremont Presbyterian Church, has known Howard Rice for more than 40 years. He was an extrovert who loved interaction. His style was conservative, but his message was leading edge. He was totally committed to everything having to do with the civil rights movement. He was passionately caring about all people whom he considered disadvantaged. The Rev. Rice was preceded in death by two of his children, the Rev. Wendy Rice Dreitcer and foster son John Andrew Price, who had joined the Price family in Chicago. He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Nancy Rice of Claremont; by daughter Amanda Hernandez of Santa Rosa; by his son-in-law, Andrew
Dreitcer and his wife Steffani Kizziar of Fairfax, California, and by his grandchildren, Ezra and Amala Hernandez and Hannah and Monica Dreitcer. A memorial service will be held on Friday, August 20, 2010 at 2:30 p.m. at Claremont Presbyterian Church, 1111 N. Mountain Ave. Memorials in honor of the Rev. Rice may be directed to the Spirituality Program of San Francisco Theological Seminary, San Anselmo, CA 94960; to the More Light Ministry of the Presbyterian Church, PMB 246, 4737 County Road 101, Minnetonka, MN 55345 or to the Southern Poverty Law Center, P.O.

Why topiary?
A question with some curious answers
W
piary?
12/13
himsy. Fun. Conversation. Beauty. Nostalgia. These are a few answers I collected from Claremonters after querying them: Why to-
Los Angeles County Fire Station 102 on Base Line Road in Claremont is home to a topiary statue of Smokey the Bear. With Smokey are Engineer Larry Taplet, left, Captain John Cox and Firefighter Steve Ginther.
ABOVE: Beverly Mohls North Indian Hill Boulevard home has 2 topiary including a kangaroo in a south-facing flowerbed. RIGHT: The topiary at Sonia and Oscar Galvatis north Claremont home is a fanciful collection of shapes that are reminiscent of a landscape from Dr. Seuss. The couple have lived at the home for 31 years and have spent a lot of time working on the landscaping.
Seeking real answers to replace those invented in my own mind (inordinate fondness for animals? really loved Edward Scissorhands? doesnt know what to do with excess money?), I explored our foliagefilled city, hunting for topiarytrees and shrubs shaped into imaginative formsand trying to entice owners to talk with me about their fanciful flora. I explained my quest in a letter that a colleague and I tucked in mailboxes at topiary-bearing houses. I received 4 responses and had the funfilled opportunity to spend time at 3 homes boasting the botanic artresponder number 4, who noted in her message she had the ugliest topiary in Claremont, changed her mind about going public. Too badI thought the plump creature was pretty cute. For the heck of it (because who of you will ever read about topiary otherwise!), I want to take an enormously abbreviated peek at the history of topiary before visiting the chopped-leaf stories of my new friends on Indian Hill, Purdue and Michigan. The term topiary comes from the Latin toparius, meaning ornamental landscaper. The practice is believed to date back to the Roman Empire era, and perhaps even earlier in Mediterranean and Asiatic cultures. As the Romans spread their rule and wealth, so, too, they spread their penchant for gardens adorned with elaborately sculpted trees and hedges. With the collapse of the Roman Empire and subsequent Dark Ages, indulgence in topiary waned while people struggled simply to survive. Only in monasteries and castles did the art form endure. Then, during the stability and artistic strength of the Renaissance, it flourished again, reaching its peak of popularity in the 17th century, which some called Topiarys Golden Age. However, when the critical pen of Alexander Pope denounced topiary as a rampant abuse of nature in 1713, and a societal debate about the nature of beauty raged, topiary fell from grace in the wealthy sphere. It remained alive in more modest cottage areas, with the creations passed down as family heirlooms. Interest revived in England in the mid 1850s with botanist and garden writer John Loudons lament about the art forms disappearance. Sculpted English gardens captured the eye of Americans who gained topiary momentum on their home turf in the 20th century. For Lilly Walters Schermerhorn and her husband, Marty, their Purdue Drive turf was topiaried in 1998, weeks after they were married and settled into their Claremont home. I admit, this was the home I most wanted to investigate, because curiosity begged me to wonder who in the world would put a water dragon topiary in their front yard? A princess, thats who. I wanted a smaller house, not this big house, said Ms. Schermerhorn. But my husband said no, youre a princess, you need a bigger house. So we started calling this the castle and joked that if this was a castle, it needed a dragon, so we got Nessie. In 3 separate pieces, Nessies serpent-like body appears to swim above and below the surface. She is a fashionable beast, always adorned for the latest occasion. Nessie pretty much dresses for everything, said Ms. Schermerhorn. She has her Christmas attire, at Halloween shes a witch, and of course for Easter she has bunny ears and a basket of eggs. Soon, shell carry her back-to-school backpack and lunch pail. If not displaying her seasonal garb, concerned Claremonters have knocked on the Schermerhorns door, wondering why Nessie is naked. Meals-on-wheels volunteers went so far as to bring her a playful double-pinwheel hat during an outfit lull. Evidently, I have a responsibility to the neighborhood that I wasnt aware of, said Ms. Schermerhorn. Ms. Schermerhorn, a professional face painter and Jill of many trades, noted that Nessie represents her and her husbands inclination toward whimsy. This is a happy house, she said. Ive had some sad stuff in my life, and now I have a happy house. Beverly Mohl nestled her topiary creatures in her Indian Hill Boulevard yard thinking that her granddaughters, young girls at the time, would adore them. Granddaughter Jenna Mohl, now 17, was indeed smitten with the critters, but only just now learned her favorite topiary deer was, in fact, a moose. Really? I never knew that! said Jenna. Well, we named the deerthe moosedeery, and we had this master plan to decorate it for Christmas.
The shapes and forms of the topiary on Sonia and Oscar Galvatis side yard reflect the larger ones in front of the home. COURIER photos by Steven Felschundneff
Judging elephants as too common, Ms. Mohl opted for the moose and a kangaroo, purchasing them fully foliaged at Norcos El Camino Nursery, which outfits Disneyland and Las Vegas with grand topiaries. She once enjoyed a peacock shrub as well, but it died, she said, citing intricate feather maintenance as the cause of death. Surprisingly, the moose and kangaroo need trimming and shaping only every 3 months to maintain their form. Passersby rarely fail to indulge their curiosity if Ms. Mohl is in her yard, and shes thrilled that her leafy, four-legged friends inspire neighborly chitchat. It makes them smile, she said. Anything that makes people smile cant be bad. Oscar and Sonia Galvati, 31-year residents of Michigan Drive, took a different approach to topiary, turning their front yard into a display of eye-catching, geometrically-sculpted shrubs and trees. Mr. Galvati takes pride in tackling the artistry himself. I love the plants. I love to chop the plants. That they keep growing, growing, growing is my wish. We love them all, said Mr. Galvati. The Galvatis met in Guatemala, where Ms. Galvatis father served in the governments upper echelonMs. Galvati frequently attended public events flanked by bodyguards. Married for 51 years, the couple previously enjoyed a sprawling property in the countrys capital, Guatemala City. My country is beautiful. Surrounded by pine trees. I love pines, said Ms. Galvati. When we came here, I prayed. I asked God for a house with lots of trees, with lots of pines. We are here for a miracle. This is a miniature of what we had in Guatemala. Enchanted with their landscapingespecially the olive tree shaped like a giant mushroomthe Galvatis do not take their ideal home for granted, remaining ever appreciative of their good fortune. I enjoy my life. I love the United States, said Ms. Galvati, proud grandmother of 10. Claremont firefighters join the merriment with a hulking Smokey the Bear topiary posted, shovel in paw, in front of Los Angeles County Fire Station 102 on Sumner Court. For his COURIER debut, Smokey was spiffed-up by clipper-wielding Captain John Cox. Topiary quest complete, I now feel a kinship with the verdant creatures that decorate our town, and with the kind owners who permitted my nosiness. And during my frolicsome venture through Claremonts topiary menagerie, I confirmed something I believed and learned something new. I started the project thinking that topiary owners must be interesting characters: how true. This I learned: early in its development, topiary was primarily reserved for the rich, only arising in poorer areas when it fell out of aristocratic favor. In Claremontits all over the map, literally: way south in the yards of more modest homes; way north in the manicured yards of palatial estates; and everything in between. Claremonts topiary is not a display of status, but an imaginative statement of personality, of attitude.

Least favorite: Pixleys Halloween articles, Ellen Taylors viewpoints on national issues. We enjoy the COURIERs dignity and tolernace, balanced and fair reporting about the school district, and the intelligent letters to the editor. Least favorite: We dont enjoy intolerant letters to the editor, and renewing online without saving $2 (and no opportunity to provide commetns.) Favorite: Readers Comments. Least favorite: No least. I live in La Verne, but only take the COURIER and the LA Times. No Daily Bulletin.
Until next time, Sammy
