The Old Towne Preservation Association’s 2015 self-guided tour of five distinct homes is slat- ed for Nov. 7 and 8. Visitors may observe several one-of-a-kind projects in five Old Towne residences, and discover stories of repurposing, decorat- ing with family heirlooms, incor- porating cherished collections, and creating meaningful personal spaces.


Included on the tour is a unique


home rumored to be haunted. Cur- rent owners Lianna Lawrence and Pam Hargove have not observed any ghostly activity, but they have created a distinctive home with handmade creations throughout its interior and exterior. Without any formal training,


Lianna and Pam built many of the home’s cupboards, the fireplace mantel and backyard water fea-


ture. Lianna was already build- ing stage props, so learning to be a carpenter as she worked on the house came naturally. “This is how it could have been,” she says of their French Country Revival. “We struggled through a cycle


of insanity,” Pam says of the long days of scraping, rewiring, paint- ing, and sanding projects. When they learned the pink-tiled bath- room was structurally beyond repair, they took special pleasure in busting it up with sledge ham- mers. “We owe it to this house to fix it up,” said LIanna. Tickets for this year’s self- guided tour are $20. Will call will be located at the


Orange Public Library at 407 E. Chapman from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. each day of the weekend. If you would like to volunteer as a do- cent and earn a home tour ticket, please contact OTPA at otpa.org, or call (714) 639-6840.

In 1922, Adolph Marx, a wealthy Long Beach tycoon, built this im- pressive Tudor Revival-style home for himself and his wife Augusta, but never moved in. One of the more notable owners of the home was local realtor and sports writer Duncan Clark and his wife Alice. Cur- rent owners Kristi and Steve Colburn restored the home to its original grace and elegance.


lion in deferred maintenance funds. The expenditure was ap- proved by the OUSD Board of Trustees in February. All of the district’s high schools and most of its elementary and middle schools recieved attention. Orange High School’s bathrooms were com- pletely redone, with new electric hand dryers, water-wise faucets and signage complementing new plumbing and epoxy coating on walls and floors. OUSD is preparing its “to do”


list for next summer, and plans to seek board approval in December.


VP streets surveyed


A topographic survey will be conducted by CNC Engineering along Mesa Drive, Loma Street and Valley Drive, to determine if street widening improvements are feasible. The Villa Park City Council allocated funding from the 2015-16 Capital Projects Budget for the design of improve- ments. Safety for drivers and pe- destrians was cited as the key is- sue. Encroachment, grade differ- entials and alignment of curb and gutter and driveway approaches, surface drainage flows, private right-of-way encroachments, and preservation of street trees will be addressed.


Tomb it may concern:


Merchants will hand out caul- drons of candy to costumed crea- tures, vendors will offer food and potions. The OC Fire Authority and Sheriff Department will ex- hibit its vehicles. HalloweenFest is sponsored by


the Villa Park Community Ser- vices Foundation, with special thanks to Wells Fargo Bank. See events at vpcsfoundation.org.
