Welcome to expanded coverage of what
has become a special end-of-the-year
tradition: The Redlands Family YMCA’s
Holiday Home Tour. Now in its 47th year,
the tour is a showcase of gorgeous
homes throughout the city. But that’s only
one aspect of what the Y is planning for
the weekend of Dec. 6-7. Also in the mix
will be fine art, holiday crafts and
delicious baked goods. Proceeds will
benefit the Y’s Legal Aid Clinic.

Eats and treats
For more than 40 years, what is now the Y’s
Legal Aid Clinic has been helping San
Bernardino County residents work their way
through a host of family law issues as well
as civil matters. The number of clients the
program helps has been increasing in
recent years, and the annual Home Tour
is an important source of funding. 8
Days before the Home Tour, the “Pantry
Ladies” will be busy packaging all of the
goodies – breads, cookies, cakes, fudge, jams
and more – that guests are sure to enjoy. 30
The YMCA’s Holiday Boutique will have
many handmade items and other creations
available to purchase. Some you’ll want to
give as gifts, others you’ll want to keep for
yourself. 19

Meet the artist
Works by the great Vincent van Gogh have
inspired many – including Dennis Hare, a
former beach volleyball star. After seeing
one of van Gogh’s paintings, the Mentone
resident not only was inspired, he felt moved
to change his career path and become an
artist himself. 32
The Barnes home on Cypress Avenue is a stunning Greek revival that’s a beautiful mix of new and old.
Very old, actually, because it was built in 1882 – six years before Redlands was founded. It’s one of the
residences that will be featured in the Y’s Holiday Home Tour.

The Redlands family YMCA presents: the 47th annual
Holiday
Home Tour
Sunday, Dec. 7; 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
W
elcome to the 47th
annual Y Holiday
Home Tour! This
holiday tradition is
made possible through the generosity
of the homeowners who are sharing
their homes with us on Sunday,
Dec. 7, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Along with the home tour, we also
have the Home-Baked Goods Pantry
and Art & Gift Boutique open
Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 6-7, from
9 a.m. to 4 p.m. All proceeds from the
Home Tour, Boutique and Pantry go to
support the Legal Aid program, which
was offered by the YWCA and now by
the Redlands Family Y.
For decades, the Legal Aid program
has been one of the most valuable and
impactful services available in San
Bernardino County. Its goal is to offer
affordable legal services to individuals
and families dealing with domestic
matters — including divorce, custody
and guardianship. To learn more about
this important service, please see the
story on Page 8.
Six homes are featured in this year’s
tour: the Nelson/Cahraman home, at
214 W. Cypress Ave.; the Barnes home,
at 815 W. Cypress Ave.; the Greene
home, at 726 Chestnut Ave.; the Kelly
home, at 907 Walnut Ave.; the
Gonzales/Loza home, at 649 Los Altos
Drive; and the Bangsund home, at
648 Palo Alto Drive.
Please help us thank our sponsors
and opportunity basket donors by
supporting their businesses. The
YMCA Holiday Home Tour is also the
product of a community of volunteers
who bake for the pantry, sell tickets,
recruit sponsors, host in the homes,
provide parking assistance and so
much more. Their efforts make this
event a success!

etting a divorce, resolving child
custody issues or fighting an eviction
can be costly, daunting tasks for
someone with no legal knowledge or
experience, but for Redlands-area residents who
need help, the YMCA of the East Valley helps fill
the gap.
The Y’s Legal Aid Clinic has been helping
San Bernardino County residents for 40 years.
The clinic is open on Mondays, Tuesdays and
Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
San Bernardino County attorney Steven A. Becker
launched the program in 1973, when he was
developing his family law practice. It began
as a program of the Salvation Army in Redlands.
8
“Demand for the services, I can assure you, has
not decreased,” said Becker, who is 70 and hopes
to retire next year. “Walk into any family law court
and you see the kinds of devastation that happens.”
For the program’s first six or seven years, Becker
volunteered handling cases and making group
presentations to clients along with San Bernardino
County attorneys Jim Glick, the late Carroll M.
Lawson and the late Kenneth Nydam.
“There’s an overwhelming need for a service like
that. Family law problems happen to the rich, the
poor and everybody in between, and the cost is
prohibitive, especially for working class and poor
people. We were trying to level the playing field,”
Becker added.
Ann McMahon of Redlands, a longtime volunteer,
says that many clients just need guidance.
‘Family law
problems
happen to the
rich, the poor
and everybody
in between.’

YMCA of the East Valley’s Legal Aid Clinic
• Annual budget: about $118,000
• 85 percent of clients fall into the extremely low to low income
range, as specified by federal guidelines
• Approximately 30 percent of clients are from Redlands
• The program offers free consultations and provides clients with
waivers that eliminate court fees
• 100 percent of the net proceeds from the Home Tour go directly
to the YMCA legal aid program
• The Holiday Home Tour is the primary supporter of the Legal
Aid Clinic
“It can be difficult for the client going to court,” she added.
“The clinic has had court preparation workshops conducted by
attorneys so when people go to court they at least have an idea
what’s going to happen.”
The Legal Aid program primarily helps people with family law
issues, such as child custody, guardianships, divorce and legal
separation, as well as in other civil matters like landlord-tenant
disputes and domestic violence restraining order requests.
Services are provided at a low cost, based on income.
Volunteer attorneys and para-professionals help the clients —
most of whom are women — with paperwork and preparing for
court hearings.
During the past seven years, the program has seen a steady
increase in clients, and nearly 3,600 people were served in 2013,
according to Ariana Whitehouse, development director of the
YMCA of the East Valley.
A year after the program started, it moved to the Redlands
YWCA, and it later became a YMCA program after the merger
of the YWCA and the YMCA in 1998.
The program is now located at the Redlands YMCA facility
at 500 E. Citrus Ave.
Richard E. Bawden, a family law attorney in Redlands and
a former member of the YMCA board of directors, also volunteered
for several years. He says that many of the clients are hard-working
folks with jobs but nowhere near enough money to pay for an
attorney.
The program’s volunteers also have benefited in their own way
over the years, he adds. “Every once in a while you’d see somebody
who really was in a tough spot and you could help them out, and
that made you feel good.”

open foyer has a piano

leads up to a large

The Nelson/Cahraman Home
214 W. Cypress Ave.
F
rom the gently curved exterior
to the extended corners of some of its rooms,
this home is all about the angles.
Built in 1910, the 5-bedroom, 2-bath
structure opens to a circular foyer, with
a graceful staircase leading up and French doors leading
out just beyond.
Through pocket doors, an angled living room with
stepped brick fireplace and chimney veer off to the left
of the foyer, while to the right is a large square dining
room, featuring original built-in, glass-front cabinetry
halfway up one wall.
A newly remodeled kitchen in various shades of green
blends seamlessly with the period architecture of the
2,848-square-foot home, which also includes a large
open living space at the top of the second-story landing.
Another unique aspect of the home is its many stairs
and steps.
The kitchen is down several steps from the bottom
stairway landing, while a handful of steps lead to an
upstairs bedroom off the main staircase.
The simple creamy white on the walls of most of the
home’s entry and interior is a lovely backdrop for the
polished oak and fir floors and the gleaming wooden
stairway banister.
A pool and garden area, featuring three enormous
Queen Anne palm trees, and double-story balconies
create a tranquil respite along a busy thoroughfare.
At left, the square dining room at the
Nelson/Cahraman home has wooden flooring
and built-in cabinets along one wall.

The Barnes Home
815 W. Cypress Ave.
The master bedroom on the second floor has
oak flooring and pull-out windows with a view
of the expansive front lawn and rose bushes.
The front staircase features intricately carved
posts.
T
his stunning home, in the
Greek revival style, has been
gracing Cypress Avenue since
1882. It was built for Frank
Brown, the engineer and
builder of Bear Valley Dam, which brought
water to Redlands. The Barnes family moved
in a year ago and the home has been
transformed to suit a modern lifestyle, while
staying true to its heritage.
A broad lawn, more than 100 rose bushes
and a sweeping covered porch welcome
guests to the nearly 4,000-square-foot house,
considered one of the city’s old grove homes.
It includes five bedrooms, four bathrooms,
a living room/parlor, formal dining room,
family room, second-story porch/playroom,
a first-story office, wine cellar and an attic.
The two main floors shine with period
details including much of the original oak
flooring, built-in cabinets and bookcases,
a butler’s pantry, and dozens of windows,
about 95 percent of which retain their
original glass.
Subway tile and two skirted pedestal sinks
lend period authenticity to the master suite,
which also features a collection of beveled
and leaded windows.
Old mingles with new as solid-core doors
and three claw-foot tubs remain in the house,
where honed Carrera marble now covers the
countertops in the kitchen and used brick is
underfoot. Double staircases — one in the
entryway, the other in the kitchen — recall
the home’s original time period, when
servants and children used only the latter.

The Greene Home

built-in barbecue
and space for

A vaulted wooden ceiling adds space to the living room of the Greene home, a single-story adobe built in the mid-1940s.

Bathroom fixtures include a
bronze waterfall faucet operated
by a country pump-style handle.
T
he city of Redlands is home to only
a handful of true adobe homes and, happily,
one of those is part of this year’s tour.
Built in the mid-1940s, this single-story,
3-bedroom, 1½-bath home features 18-inchthick white walls and soaring wooden ceilings that evoke
the aura of a hacienda.
That ambience is further accentuated in the home’s
décor, with numerous colorful artifacts — including
statuary, tile and furniture — from Mexico.
Red Saltillo tile covers the floor throughout the
2,200-square-foot home, while Talavera ceramic tiles
provide accents. Among the more stunning pieces are
double Talavera sinks in a peacock pattern in the
home’s main bathroom.
The adobe construction keeps the home warm in the
winter and cool in the summer, and the home’s plethora
of doors and windows — including new crank windows
— allow for tranquil breezes to float through.
The lazy-u-shaped home surrounds an enchanting
courtyard, filled with an array of vivid pots and plants,
as well as a brightly painted sunflower yellow iron table
and chairs.
A 6-foot-tall sculptured iron gate leads from the
courtyard to an expansive yard/pool area, which the
current owners transformed dramatically after purchasing
the home three years ago.
They are also responsible for rejuvenating the entire
home and completely renovating the kitchen area, where
gold and cobalt blue tiles lend a splash of color.
The Greene family is only the second family to live in
the home. It was previously occupied by Frank and Betty
Greenway. Her father built the adobe.
Adjacent to the dining room, the kitchen has a tile counter
and wood cabinets.

The Kelly Home
907 Walnut Ave.
The Kelly home’s
kitchen, at right,
boasts custom
cabinets and
slate flooring;
the “Man Cave”
occupies the
entire third
floor and has
an antique
pool table.
F
rom the top of its gabled roof
to the newly painted wrap-around
white porch, this home is filled
with a sense of time and place —
of the era when the home was
built and the city of Redlands was new.
Constructed in 1891, only three years after
the city was incorporated, the three-story
home — referred to as Colonial farmhouse
style — encompasses 5,200 square feet and
sits on a 30,000-square-foot lot.
It was the first home in town to have
indoor plumbing and the swimming pool
previously did duty as a reservoir.
Indoors, the restored 4-bedroom, 4-bath
home features pocket doors, soaring ceilings,
arched doorways, slate and wood flooring,
burnished wood banisters, and six fireplaces,
one of which includes an ornately carved
marble mantle.
The home’s owners are avid collectors
of vintage and repurposed items, which fill
the home.
Among these are oversized vintage prints
and signs, three stained-glass panels in the
living room, and a coffee table on casters
using the reclaimed wood from the home’s
old front porch.
A robin’s-egg blue shelved alcove among
the white walls in a small sitting area offers
even more whimsy.
Bedrooms with vintage flair inhabit the
second floor, while the third floor is turned
over to the “Man Cave,” outfitted with a
projection screen, bar, antique pool table,
drum sets and an old refrigerator fitted with
beer taps.
A small room off to the side includes a
closet and bathroom behind two original
hotel room doors — Nos. 206 and 306 —
from the long-demolished La Posada Hotel
in downtown Redlands.

The Gonzales/Loza Home
649 Los Altos Drive
Terrazzo
aggregate tile
surrounds the
fireplace in the
living room of the
Gonzales/Loza
residence. It was
installed when
the home was
built in 1964 and
matches the floor
just inside the
entrance, which
also features the
original wooden
front door.
Photos by JOHN VALENZUELA
The home is furnished with period décor,
including a hi-fi stereo that’s Bluetooth
enabled and a wooden phone booth with
a working telephone.
L
overs of mid-century modern
design and décor will be thrilled
with this home in the Country Club
Estates area.
Built in 1964, the house has retained
much of its original style: terrazzo aggregate tile
in the entryway and on the fireplace surround, two
grasscloth-covered walls, green sinks in the powder
room, and speckled green Armstrong Montina
Corlon vinyl flooring in the kitchen.
The current owners, who moved in a year ago,
have continued to lovingly bring their home’s time
period to life with furnishings old and new that
reflect the era.
A hi-fi stereo and working phone booth occupy
prime spots in the sunken living room, while a
pair of white bubble chairs beckon in the den just
beyond.
An authentic laminate-topped table and chairs
fill a spot in the kitchen, while a more formal Danish
modern set beams in the dining room, where the
new flooring is period-perfect composite vinyl tile.
Fresh starburst-patterned wallpaper in the kitchen
and a silver-toned geometric design in the dining
room evoke the era even more. In the master
bedroom, however, the wallpaper is original to the
home — a classic Van Luit print. The large master
suite also includes his and hers dressing areas and
doors that extend to a small side patio.
Newer items, such as a Jonathan Adler room
divider screen, mimic designs original to the home
and complete the seamless merging of old and new
in this unique dwelling, which recently was granted
historic status.

The family room, left, is just off the kitchen and

P
erched on a hilltop above
Country Club Estates, this once viewless home has been transformed into
a modern and airy living space, with
beautiful vistas of the surrounding
neighborhood and the hills beyond.
Built in 1964, the home retains some elements
of mid-century modern design, but its new look
is more clean-lined contemporary, with soothing
tones of beige, tan and gray in the décor.
Pops of color are provided by an array of stunning
paintings by local artists, as well as a lavender wall
just off the kitchen.
At 2,500 square feet, the home’s original footprint
remains the same, encompassing 3 bedrooms, 2½
baths, formal living and dining rooms, and a den.
A recently renovated dressing area in the master
suite includes a bank of unique pull-out drawers
for easy storage.
The renovated kitchen offers pendant lighting
where cabinets formerly hung and neutral glass
tile on a portion of the walls. A small bar area with
floating shelves nearby provides a cozy gathering
spot.
Windows cover most of the home’s back walls,
with doors opening to a large patio and charming
seating areas that take advantage of the view.
A winding, stepped path curves downward
from the yard toward the street.
At the front of the home, an array of tiered,
glossy succulents and native plants welcome
guests en route to the front door.

group of dedicated
volunteers, who often are
referred to as the “Pantry
Ladies,” coordinate this event
in conjunction with the YMCA Holiday
Home Tour weekend. The money raised
goes to help fund the Y’s Legal Aid Clinic.
The Y Pantry is one of Redlands’ finest
displays of volunteer effort! More than
200 local folks bake their favorite items,
which results a wide variety of holiday
treats. All of these goodies are then mixed
and matched, and wrapped into beautiful
cookie platters, candy bags, and unique
holiday gifts.
The Pantry Ladies guesstimate they tie
about 900 ribbon bows to add that final
touch to 150 assorted cookie plates,
dozens of bags of fudge, English toffee,
jams, jellies, fruit breads, caramel corn,
and an assortment of decorated cookies.
Many shoppers come in especially
looking for Sue Hardy’s English toffee,
Carolyn Whetzel’s pomegranate jelly,
Char Burgess’ sherry cakes, and Elaine
Brubacher’s jams.

A Van Gogh work
stopped him in his
tracks and changed
the course of his life
Photo by Micah Escamilla
Artist Dennis Hare enjoys
doing paintings that focus
on humanity and speak
from the heart.
By Amy Bentley
A
ll painters have their
inspiration — that person,
place, thing or feeling that
moves them to create art.
For Redlands-area painter Dennis
Hare, his inspiration was an 1888
Vincent Van Gogh oil painting,
“Entrance to the Public Garden
in Arles.”
The Van Gogh work depicts a street
in front of a walkway leading into a
public garden. At the entrance stands
a man reading a newspaper. Along the
walkway are four people sitting on
benches and a woman with her back
turned. None of these figures has
distinguishable features or faces. The
trees, sky and walkways are heavily
textured.
32
Hare saw the painting during a visit to a museum in San Francisco
about 35 years ago and knew instantly that he wanted to be a painter.
A former beach volleyball star, Hare has a degree in physical education
and a teaching certificate. He was ready to launch a coaching career, but
scrapped those plans to paint instead. Today, Hare, 68, paints from a
home studio in Mentone, where he has lived for 15 years.
Never one to shy away from different techniques, he’s created many

sculpture-like works by incorporating
discarded junkyard materials — such as car
parts, bedsprings, books, pieces of metal
and clothing, and tar — into his paintings.
This all came about during an economic
recession when Hare couldn’t afford to
spend thousands of dollars on supplies. He
feels these pieces have more texture, depth
and character.
“I would go out to junkyards and get
collectibles that I liked. I would go through
them and started adding them onto canvas.
These have a soul and life like anything else.
I felt these would get a second look.”
Today, Hare focuses on oils, and his style
is abstract. Like the Van Gogh masterpiece
that inspired him, his faces are blurred and
without detail. He uses texture skillfully.
When asked how he describes his art,
Hare explained, “It’s about humanity, not
too much about the process. I like
something that’s authentic and spoken from
the heart.” He dislikes gimmicky art.
Hare’s works have been exhibited at, and
sold from, galleries nationwide. His home
was included on the Redlands YMCA 2013
Holiday Home Tour. More than 1,000
people came through and saw his works,
and he has donated a piece to the Redlands
YMCA, where it hangs in the entryway.
Hare is grateful that he’s been able to
spend his life doing what he loves. For this,
he thanks the lessons he learned from beach
volleyball.
“It gave me the confidence and the work
ethic to do art. If anybody sticks with it and
does a lot of work, they can be successful.
You have to get it out there and promote it.”
Hare attended Yucaipa High School and
became a top beach volleyball player after
graduating from San Diego State University.
He wrote the first book about the sport,
“The Art of Beach Volleyball,” which was
