ORGANIZER RECOMMENDATION

We had a wonderful experience with a local woman who organizes homes, offices and garages.  We got our home and office reorganized in just a few days of her work.

If you are looking for someone who can go through your things with you quickly, and in very little time help you reorganize, label and box things for storage, find places for things you don’t use often, and conveniently get rid of the deadwood.

She lived with a family in the Holmby-Westwood area for years in the past, and has excellent references.  We always like to recommend to our neighbors special people who help us.

The organizer’s name is Fiona Dunkin. You can reach her at 310-430-4959. Or by E-mail, the hummingbird@me.com.

SEWER REPAIR RECOMMENDATION

Tree roots penetrated the sewer line running from my house the City sewer at the center of the street. A distance of about 30 feet.
I contacted four different Rooter Services for quotes.

The first charged me $195 for a video inspection of the line and then informed me that they did not have the equipment to perform their recommendations. The second made a video inspection and recommended replacement of the sewer line at a cost of $12,500
or alternatively inserting a “permaliner” at a cost of $11.500 (I declined both options) The third wanted to make a video inspection for which they wanted to make a charge of $200. (I declined)

The fourth NEW PIPE and ROOTER made a video inspection of the pipe at no charge. They fully explained their recommendations and
then did an excellent job over a period of two days at a cost of $6,500 including all permit and LADBS inspection fees.

I have no hesitation in recommending the services of Philip Villalba of NEW PIPE PLUMBING and ROOTER in Sun Valley.

For more information please click here: www.LA2015.org

2.  CHECK YOUR SPRINKLERS

Most of our sprinklers rightfully go on at night, so we don’t really know if there are issues. In this major drought, it is wise to ask your gardener or landscaper to take the time one day to momentarily run the sprinklers and make sure you are not needlessly watering hardscapes and sidewalks. If you walk on your grass, and it is wet even on off days, you’re probably watering too much. And please make sure you are conforming to the LADWP guidelines for watering.

3.  USPS SURVEY

Thank you to everyone who responded to the survey regarding the local USPS issues.  We have forwarded all survey responses to Congressman Ted Lieu’s office, which will be meeting with USPS representatives next week.  We will let you know of any follow-up information when we receive it.

4.  MAIL PACKAGE THEFT

A resident on Loring reported that he saw through his window that mail was delivered, including a couple of small packages to his front door. The next thing he knew, he saw a 10ish year old boy leaving the front of his house with those packages. The resident went outside and stopped him, at which point the boy’s “father” drove up in a grey SUV, gave an excuse about being on the phone and made his “son” apologize.

If you see this son/father trailing closely behind the mailman in a grey SUV, get the license plate number and call 911.

5.  LIGHT FIXTURE THEFT

A resident in the area of Hilts/Lindbrook reported that seven of their outdoor landscaping light fixtures were recently stolen from their yard.  The theft has been reported to the police.

A huge thank you to our residents and sponsors!!!

It was our 11th annual event…..and we grew by hundreds of attendees. It was a large and festive 4th of July celebration! See the pics below—it was a ton of fun! Over $600 was raised for the Special Olympics of Southern California. Thanks for sharing your holiday with us!

Esther Magna, Caron Schwartz, Rachelle Guerin, Rochelle Glucksman, Randie Kleinman and Katherine Meyer made a great team this year, and they appreciate their volunteer crew, including Mark Magna, Phil Gabriel, Polly Bamberger, Chris Fernicola, Dennis Rosenblatt, Hedy Magna, Andrew Meyer, Katherine Meyer’s mom, Samantha Gabriel, Jessica Ezor, Jane Gavens, and of course, Dana and Sandy. Special thanks to Adam and Victor at the park who allowed us to take it over for the day.

THANK YOU SPONSORS:

ACS Security has been feeding us for many years. They happily and swiftly cooked for the entire crowd. Their BBQ dedication was endless and fantastic. To James Tate and his volunteer staff, your dogs and pizza were delicious!

UCLA Health returned for the second year as our Platinum sponsor with a generous contribution that covered most of our expenses. Thank you, UCLA Health for your support of Holmby Westwood. All enjoyed the fans and football giveaways.

Ralphs returned for the second year as our Gold Sponsor and their generosity was seen through their sponsorship of our event, abundant raffle prizes facilitated by a big team from the Westwood store and also the presence of their iconic Ralphs antique Delivery Truck in our parade. The water was appreciated too. Thank you Ralphs!

City Target in Westwood kept kids smiling with face painting and lemonade. Thank you to Stephanie and her friendly Target team.

Our local realtors also deserve our appreciation for their sponsorship. Their sponsorship covered all the kids activities, including the DJ and crafts.

We also appreciate ADT for the water and balloons at Warner School.

The firemen from Station #71 were outstanding and so gracious to stay at the park while kids admired them and their truck.

SPREAD THE WORD about the good work our association does for the benefit of its residents. Community building, constant email communication among 800+ residents and advocacy in City Hall are just a few of the activities our Board undertakes. We must work together for our shared concerns of architectural integrity, greenscape preservation, emergency preparedness and crime watch. Residents pay $75 annually to join HWPOA.

1.  FIREWORKS AND PET SAFETY

Pet Safety Tips for 4th of July — provided by City of Los Angeles Animal Services.  Make this Independence Day fun and SAFE for your pets! Some people love big gatherings and loud noises – but that can be very frightening for our pets.

PLAN AHEAD
Make sure your dog is wearing a license tag. This will help us reunite families if a pet does get lost.

KEEP PETS INDOORS
Keep your pets inside. If you are having guests over, keep pets in a room that is off-limits to guests, with plenty of water and food.

CREATE A CALMING ENVIRONMENT
Surround pets with their favorite toys and other familiar objects. Play soothing music and keep the room as quiet as possible by closing doors, windows and blinds.

KEEP AWAY FROM FIREWORKS
Even if your pet does not seem obviously upset by fireworks, they can still cause harm to pets. Avoid potential burns, injuries, or possible ingestion by keeping all pets out of the vicinity of fireworks.

2.  LAPD CRIME REPORT

Because it’s a holiday weekend, more people are active by going on hikes, shopping and barbequing at family gatherings. Consider, are we are the only ones active? Criminals are on the prowl and one of the easiest, low-risk crimes is vehicle burglaries.

To thieves, property left in cars provides a wide variety of merchandise.

-Laptop computers
-Cell phones
-GPS devices
-Purses and wallets

All these things just scratch the surface of the variety of “window shopping” goodies criminals feast upon. It takes less than a minute to break a vehicle’s window, unlock the door, and remove items left inside. Most of the time, there are no witnesses to these offenses because of the ease and speed it can be done and there’s a higher likelihood of it happening Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Like LAPD says, “Lock it, Hide it, Keep it.”

Grand Theft Auto:
Le Conte Ave/ Hilgard (RD 0817): On 06/30/15 between 5:40pm and 9:30pm victim parked their vehicle on the street. Unknown suspect(s) took a 2013, Ford Mustang.  2013 Ford Mustang was recovered in Wilshire Division and an arrest was made.

3.  ROBINSONS/MAY DEVELOPMENT

Many HW residents have expressed interest in the pending development at the site of the Robinson’s/May dept. store at Whittier and Wilshire. We hope this will update you on the most recent plan!
