1.  HALLOWEEN SAFETY

In order to assist the Los Angeles community in enjoying this fun-filled holiday as safely as possible, the Los Angeles Police Department has compiled a list of Halloween safety tips for children and their parents.

To keep all trick-or-treaters safe, please read and take heed of these important safety tips:

  • Drivers should look for children walking on the street, running and darting in between parked vehicles;
  • Especially when in or near neighborhoods, avoid using cell phones and texting while driving;
  • Keep houses and driveways well lighted so children know they can approach your homes;
  • When inspecting candy, if in doubt, just throw it out;
  • Be sure to follow all traffic signals and laws and walk only on sidewalks, not the street; and
  • Adults should always accompany children, trick-or-treat in groups or have children be accompanied by a trusted adult.

And don’t forget about the four-legged members of the family. Pets can be confused and spooked by strange sounds and sights, and unfamiliar people in costumes, so keep pets indoors and away from the front door. As always, make sure your pets also have up-to-date identification.

Have a safe and enjoyable Halloween weekend!  Happy Halloween!

6.  VETERANS TOWN HALL

Dear Friend,

I would like to invite you to attend a Veterans Town Hall on November 10, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. at the Wadsworth Theatre, which is on the West Los Angeles Veterans Affairs Campus, to listen to veterans tell the community their experiences about going to war.

This unique event, inspired by Sebastian Junger, is a community forum that aims to establish a greater understanding between local veterans and the friends and neighbors for whom they fought. In the tradition of warrior storytelling, veterans are invited to describe the pride, grief, rage, or quiet appreciation of life that war bestowed upon them. The role of non-veterans will be to attend, to listen, and to learn.

A gathering like this town hall will allow members of our district to learn about the complexities of war and acquire a better appreciation for our veterans who served. I would be grateful if you, your friends, and family would join me for this special event. To RSVP, please go to http://bit.ly/VetsTownHall

Sincerely,
Ted W. Lieu
Member of Congress

1.  LAPD CRIME REPORT

BURGLARY (entry of structure w/intent to commit theft or a felony)
Incident #: 170817022
200 BLOCK CONWAY AV  |  10/13/2017 @ 4:00 PM

Security Cameras and Video Surveillance
LAPD is now recommending homeowners install and use camera devices from companies like Ring and Nest, or devices offered by your security company, that send you a message on your smart phone whenever a person has entered a programmed zone.

HWPOA is not recommending any one system over another, or over the system you currently have, but like the LAPD, we do believe these new innovations have many benefits to homeowners who want to know what’s going on at their property when they’re home and away. Of particular use are the motion alerts which allow you to view on your browser or smartphone specific occurrences without watching hours of video.

2.  DOG OWNER ETIQUETTE

HWPOA has recently received several complaints regarding dogs and dog owners:

Keep Dogs on a Leash
For the safety of your neighbors, children and other dogs, please keep your dog on a leash at all times when you are outside of your home.  We have had several past reports of dog attacks in the neighborhood, injuring both people and dogs.  Please follow the law and keep your dog on a leash.

Use Your Own Trash Bins
While everyone appreciates that you are picking up dog waste, please dispose of it in your own trash bin.  Please be respectful and do not use your neighbors’ bins.

Thank you for your cooperation.

3.  SHRUBS BLOCKING SIDEWALKS – PLEASE TRIM

Throughout the neighborhood, many shrubs and hedges have become overgrown.  Some are encroaching on the sidewalk, making the sidewalk narrow and difficult to navigate.

If your bushes, shrubs or hedges are overgrown and blocking the sidewalk, please trim them as soon as possible.  Thank you.

4.  UCLA STUDENT HOUSING PROJECTS

3.  PET LAWS

From L.A. Animal Services:

If you are a dog owner or are thinking about adding a dog to your home, you know or can’t wait to enjoy the loyal companionship and excitement they bring to your life. Along with the fun, dogs rely on us to care for them, give them food and water and keep them safe. Part of keeping your four-legged friend safe, means following City and State pet laws created to protect you, your dog and your community.

By following the below pet laws under the City of Los Angeles Municipal Code (“LAMC”) you can be responsible, protect your pet and avoid possible fines.

License your dog (LAMC 53.28)
Dogs are required to be licensed after the age of four months. To obtain a license, dog owners must show proof of spay/neuter and rabies vaccination. The cost for an annual license is $20 per year/per dog. There are a few exemptions for dogs that are not spayed or neutered, but the fees jump from $20 to $100 and can rise to $335 with a breeding permit.

You can license your pet online at anionlinelicense.lacity.org. To get an intact dog license, you can go to your nearest City shelter and provide proof of the exemption and microchip information. To learn more about the exemptions, visit LAAnimalServices.com.

Prevent unwanted litters – Spay or Neuter your dog (LAMC 53.15.2)
Dogs (and cats) are required to be spayed or neutered after the age of four months, with some exemptions allowed. Free spay and neuter vouchers are available at your nearest City shelter for low-income residents. Applications for the vouchers are also available at City of Los Angeles Council field offices.

Obey the Leash Law (LAMC 53.06)
Dogs must be on leash unless they are in your fenced yard or at a dog park that allows off leash exercise.

Do not tether your dog (LAMC 53.70)
Tying up your dog to any stationary object for more than three hours in a 24 hour period or denying them proper food, water and shelter for long periods of time is against the law and can be harmful to your pup’s life.

Scoop your dog’s poop (LAMC 53.49)
Dog owners are required to clean up after their dogs when taking them out in public. Don’t forget the poop bags when you leave your house for a walk.

4.  UCLA E-WASTE DISPOSAL SERVICE

UCLA has a FREE e-waste disposal service on Saturdays, so that means you don’t have to leave your old electronics, paint, batteries, etc. . . on the sidewalk (or in the trash).  You can simply take it to them and they DISPOSE of or RECYCLE them safely and in an environmentally friendly manner.

Paint  and  solvents;  used  motor  oil  and  filters,  anti-freeze,  and  other  automotive  fluids;  cleaning products;  pool  and  garden  chemicals;  aerosol  cans;  all medicine;  auto  batteries;  household  (alkaline)  batteries; fluorescent tubes and bulbs, thermostats, and other mercury-containing lamps.
