Apartment residents have no protection from their neighbor’s drifting tobacco smoke. Unfortunately, tobacco smoke doesn’t always stay in the unit where it is generated. A door-to-door survey of Calabasas apartment residents in 2006 conducted by our organization showed that 36 percent of respondents had secondhand smoke drift into their home in the last year. More than half of those respondents […]

Smoking just isn’t neighborly
No one should have to breathe a neighbor’s secondhand smoke. Secondhand smoke does drift from one apartment to another, with the apartment getting the offending smoke with no recourse to keep the air in their apartment clean and fit to breathe. Children especially should be protected. People who smoke are certainly not able to decide for them selves whether their […]
Stop picking on Heschel West
“You’re killing me Larry!” (Brown) as the mattress commercial goes. If you could only turn your vitriolic prose for the purposes of good not evil. Can you not find anything in Agoura that makes you happy? Your Oct. 11 letter to the editor was so filled with double-speak and, as my kids would say, “big words,” that it made no […]
Kanan drivers, wait your turn
If you consider yourself a fantastic driver and the rest of the drivers on the road just sheep, you’re going to want to skip this letter and go to the next one. Every morning I drive south on Kanan to catch the 101 east into the Valley. Every morning I line up in the lane set aside for the cars […]
Kanan interchange, still confusing
I know that there has been a plethora of letters concerning the intersection of Kanan and the 101 freeway but the new Canwood Avenue signs are a menace. First of all there are four signs which is confusing enough. But the one just north of the freeway on the east side of Kanan seems to point to the freeway off […]
Don Zimring fits the bill
My children graduated from Calabasas High school long ago. Bud Marley was the superintendent then. Since his retirement, the district has chosen capable successors; however, in my opinion, none more qualified than Donald Zimring. Like the suit that fits perfect after you find it, Dr. Zimring was waiting to be found by the trustees who make the decision on the […]
Finders, Davis great help on LVEF
It has been my privilege to volunteer in our school district over the past 10 years. First at Agoura High, and for the last few years, as a board member of the Las Virgenes Educational Foundation. During my LVEF years, it has been a pleasure to watch and work with School Board member, Terilyn Finders. Terilyn knows what LVUSD needs […]
Another nod for Ned Davis
Westlake Village is at a critical time in its history. We need council members who have experience working financial and development issues in Westlake Village for Westlake Village home owners. Ned Davis has demonstrated that he has the experience and temperament to represent all of Westlake Village on the Council. As president and CEO of his own company Ned understands […]
Philippa Klessig has proven herself
I love living in Westlake Village. I want to thank this and past City Councils for maintaining its beauty and community ambiance while being sensitive to the need for revenue to sustain the qualities that made me choose Westlake Village for my home. It is not accidental that we have clean and well-maintained streets, excellent transportation services, full library access […]
Carol Kirschbaum stands out
After listening closely to the four candidates at the Oct. 11 Westlake Village City Council forum, I believe that one of them really stands out among the others: Carol Kirschbaum. Carol demonstrated her depth of knowledge about current and past issues which are critical to the citizens of Westlake Village. She stressed her commitment and goals to keep Westlake a […]
