I am a 37-year-old Oak Park resident living with MS since December 1999. MS has also tragically taken the life of my father, Alan Portnoy, of Westlake Village this past January 23. He was diagnosed in May 2000; he was 63. More ... On Feb. 22 I was proud to swear the Oath of Allegiance and become an American citizen. To do this I had to take a civics test. I know how many stars and stripes there are on the flag and what they symbolize. I was in awe of the Constitution and the rights conferred to me in this land I call "home." I was amazed by the concept of "checks and balances. More ... In a March 22 letter to The Acorn, Donn Burkholder criticizes our City Council members for ostensibly working against the interests of residents on the west side of Calabasas.

The Lowe's project was recently defeated primarily with the idea that Westlake is just a village and such a project was beyond the pale. When we end up with more office buildings people will long for Lowe's. I'm looking out my window at a mansion of a thousand square feet. I, in my condo, feel like one of its outbuildings. More ... I have read the article in The Acorn about the eruv, and I am very displeased about what has happened. The eruv is a wire going around the communities of Oak Park and Agoura. This wire is to enclose the community so that you could carry or do other daily activities within the eruv. More ... Two weeks ago, Dep. Mike Ranes, one of our Lost Hills motor deputies, in pursuit of a speeding car, collided with a woman who pulled out in front of his motorcycle. Dep. Ranes sustained nearly a dozen broken bones, a bleeding spleen and fractured a bone in his face. More ... In the article "Hospital site could become new home for seniors" on March 15, the comparison between the proposed Sunrise facility and two Costco stores is inappropriate. The different natures of the Sunrise Senior Living fullservice retirement community and a Costco makes this an inflammatory comparison. More ... Letters RSS feed |
