1. DWP Update regarding Power Outages
Jerry Nagin, a Holmby Westwood resident, has been actively pursuing answers from the DWP regarding the recent power outages. Jerry has been in direct contact with the authorities at DWP and is demanding answers. He has had several conversations with Marvin Moon, a DWP top engineer in the Department and is awaiting a response, which is expected shortly. We will pass on the information when Jerry receives it. Mr. Moon also assured Jerry that he is working on providing us with answers to the historical and other questions we raised.
Thank you, Jerry Nagin, for pursuing this issue on our behalf!

3. Prevent Copper Wire Theft
In recent months, there have been many thefts of the copper wire from the City's street lighting system. If you observe a wire theft in progress or see any suspicious activity around city streetlights, call 9-1-1 immediately.
Official street lighting maintenance vehicles are yellow, with a city seal and the words "Street Light" on the doors. Street Lighting staff can be identified by their orange vests, hard hats and city identification. The Bureau of Street Lighting has contractors who install new lighting. The names of these companies would be identified on their vehicles.
4. UCLA Marching Band
The UCLA Marching Band is currently holding its annual Band Camp, which is an intensive training period to perfect their routines. They have been practicing on the UCLA IM Field. Practice will continue until Wednesday, September 25th with practice hours ranging from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm. UCLA staff is monitoring the sound and activities to make sure that the impact on neighbors is minimal.
5. Community Police Advisory Board (CPAB)

6. UCLA Japanese Garden - Update
We reported some time ago on the controversy surrounding the Hannah Carter Japanese Garden. Due to budget cuts, UCLA decided to sell the garden following the death of Hannah Carter. Stating that UCLA agreed to maintain the garden in perpetuity, Carter's heirs filed a lawsuit to permanently prevent the sale. They then sought and were granted a preliminary injunction in L.A. Superior Court to prevent the sale. UCLA appealed the injunction, and the 2nd Appellate District of the California Court of Appeal sustained the Supreme Court injunction within the last few weeks.
7. Automobile Break-In on Westholme
A Prius parked on the 600 block of Westholme Ave. was broken into on Saturday night, Sept. 14. The front passenger window was smashed. The compartments were searched for money or electronic devices, of which there was none. The built-in alarm system did not go off. A change purse with some coins was not taken, nor was anything else. This is the second time the same car has been broken into. This block is traveled by many students going to and from UCLA.
Please be on the lookout for any suspicious activity in the Holmby Westwood area.
8. Noise near Hilgard
A resident has reported loud noise on the evening of Sept. 16, coming from the vicinity of Manning/Hilgard or possibly Le Conte/Tiverton. There was loud banging after midnight. The resident called UCLA campus police who were not aware of any construction or events. Please let us know if you are aware of the cause of the noise, so that we can address the issue.
9. HWPOA COMMUNICATION AND AD POLICY
Please direct all comments, questions or issues regarding the HOLMBY NEWS to hwpoa@aol.com and not toholmbywestwood@yahoogroups.com.
Residents have complained about too many HWPOA emails during the week so I, as Moderator, try to limit HWPOA messages during the week, ads in particular, to posting in the weekly NEWS. Emergency type situations such as coyote sightings, lost and found pets, traffic alerts and similar emergency type situations will continue to be published during the week as received.
This policy will be published each week preceding the Resident Ads section of the HOLMBY NEWS as a reminder of the policy, how to place the ads and why the policy was established. There is always an exception considered if needed for an emergency type ad situation.
When placing an ad, please send to hwpoa@aol.com for the HOLMBY NEWS Moderator to review. The receipt of the ad will be confirmed. Responses to ads should be directed to the ad placer, not to HWPOA. Do not respond to the holmbywestwood Yahoo email address.
Thank you,
Dana, the HOLMBY NEWS moderator/editor
