Be on alert for threatening phone calls from anyone claiming to be a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy.

I received a call the morning of May 4th from a man who claimed to be LA County Sheriff’s Deputy Steven Kado (he spelled it for me) with a badge ID 25021. He told me that he was calling because I had not responded to a grand jury summons from Van Nuys Superior Court. I had not received any summons so he confirmed my name and address. He told me that I could file necessary paperwork to avoid an arrest warrant if I appeared by appointment at the Courthouse that afternoon.

I made the appointment for 2:30 and he then asked me to contact him 45 minutes before the appointment and he would “issue my instructions” as to where to go. He gave me a choice of two telephone numbers to call,…

I collected discarded mail stolen from 6767 Whitley Terrace and 6767 Wedgewood Pl this morning. It was strewn across MIlner just east of Watsonia. I delivered it to the addresses, but if they are your mailboxes, you might look into securing them, if possible.

Just received from Stephen Bruck: No return or completion estimate given:

The streets remaining are Bonair Pl, Grace Ave, and Las Palmas Ave from Franklin to Whitley Heights. 

Received from Stephen Bruck this morning: I have asked him for more info and will relay his response.

Good morning Residents,

The DWP crew that has been working in your neighborhood has finished the Las Palmas Ave phase of the work. Our crew is being relocated to another location. Another crew will take over the project in the future. For now, all equipment and materials have been removed along with the “No Parking’ signs. When another crew is assigned and the work is scheduled to resume, a letter will be distributed to you updating you.

Question for annual meeting next week. Can someone tell me which of our neighbors is the CalTrans contact for Whitley Heights? I'd like to speak with her/him/them regarding an offer CalTrans has made for us to sponsor the portion of the 101 freeway that cuts through Whitley Heights. This would mean that they would provide us with paint and rollers to remove the graffiti that reappears on the sound walls as soon as CalTrans paints it over. We would have to make a 2-year committment to help and CalTrans crews won't stop coming out every 2-4 weeks to clean it up but, it would let the taggers know their tagging is wasted in our hood. I think we would need a committee of around 6-12 volunteers, willing to go out once a month to clean the walls up on both sides of the 101. I also spoke with …
