Energy Efficient Tips
As Palisadians,
we rely on elec-
tricity to sustain
our homes and
lifestyles. Un-
fortunately our
demand for power
continues to in-
crease as com-
munities grow, tech-
nologies advance,
power infrastructures
age and resources di-
minish.
Since the energy cri-
sis, Californian’s have
become more conscien-
tious about energy us-
age, the importance of
conservation and need
to use more energy effi-
cient products. But the
movement has been
slow. It took nearly a
decade for Americans
to accept those funny
looking light bulbs
called compact fluorescent lamps.
Nonetheless, new products kept be-
ing developed, including LED or
light emitting diodes. These energy
efficient lights that last up to 10
times longer than incandescent are
now included in holiday lights, traffic
signals and street lights (to name a
few).
Changing a few light bulbs is a
start, but it’s not enough. We must
help build a crusade to become more
energy efficient as individuals and
businesses collectively. In our com-
munity, we have more of an incen-
tive with the impending addition of a
power substation. The fact remains
that our antiquated substation may
not be able to deliver enough elec-
tricity during hot summer days to our
homes and businesses. It will be
most critical to reduce usage during
peak energy demand hours of noon
to 6pm. If not, and the lone substa-
tion in Pacific Palisades becomes
overloaded during this time period,
we may face forced rotating outages.
However, if our community
works together toward a common
goal—to reduce usage, and become
energy efficient—the demand for
electricity will drop, bills will be
lower and the lights will continue to
glow.
The federal government, states
President’s Message: Creating Positive Energy to Effect a Change Learn How to Save Energy at our Annual Meeting: May 30
and cities are making it easier to
change our habits by offering millions
of dollars in energy rebates to home-
owners, apartment owners, and busi-
nesses.
As the African proverb states “it
takes a village to raise a child”, we as
a community must become that village
to make a difference. Please join us at
the MKPOA Annual meeting to learn
how to effect a change for our children
today and future generations to come.

From a Marquez Knolls Resident: I realize not everyone is on Medicare but you might pass this on to friends who are. I especially think our older residents are more likely to fall for a scam like this.
Someone pretending to be Medicare called to inform me that a new card is being issued and must be used in conjunction with the old card. They verify phone number and address. THEN...."we need to be sure we are speaking to the correct person so can you please verify your bank” I didn't hear any more because I hung up.
The City of Los Angeles recently
updated its list of street repairs for
Pacific Palisades. Unfortunately Akron
was not among those listed. After
receiving an inquiry from a resident,
PPCC rep and MKPOA board member
contacted the City to find out the
status. Rea learned the Akron street
resurfacing is delayed until completion
of DWP sewer upgrades 2013-2014.
MKPOA is often alerted to crimes by
neighbors which are shared via our
e-com distribution list. Unfortunately,
many residents say they did not report
the incident to LAPD. It is imperative
to contact police so they can tract
criminals. Call 9-1-1 immediately
following a crime—house burglary, car
break-in/theft or vandalism. You can
still report a crime after the fact, by
calling the West LAPD front desk at
310 444-0702.
Marquez Knolls resident, Evan Epstein (age 12) won first place in the 2012 Glendale Piano Competition. He competed with talented young pianists from the greater Los Angeles area in May. Evan played the Chopin Polonaise in A flat major, op. 53. Among many other local and national awards, Evan won the American Fine Arts Competition last year and was invited to play at Carnegie Hall.

ACS Security—which patrols
Marquez Knol ls— i s warning
homeowners that hefty fines are
being levied if LAPD responds to a
false alarm at your residence.
Without patrol service from the
alarm company, LAPD is the first
responder and a homeowner is
subject to false alarm charges by the
City when the alarm is accidentally
triggered.
However, residents who have both
patrol and alarm service with ACS
security can avoid these charges.
When an alarm is tripped, ACS
dispatch is notified and a patrol car is
sent to the home. If it is a false
alarm, the device is reset, LAPD is
not called to respond, and no false
alarm charges are incurred.
The City ordinance no longer
waives the fee for a first false alarm
offense.
In addition to false alarm charges,
homeowners must have a City alarm
permit which is $34 initially and $30
annually. Charges for false alarm calls
by LAPD are as follows for permitted
and non-permitted alarms:

security at 310 475-9016.

64th Annual Pacific
Palisades Fourth of July
Parade
The highlight of every July
Fourth is the Pacific Palisades parade,
which has grown to be one of the top
Independence Day parades in the entire
U.S.A. Come join your neighbors and
enjoy the best bands and equestrian units
in the country, marching alongside our
very own community groups, local
celebrities, neighbors and kids. Our 2012
Parade Grand Marshal is Jerry Mathers!
MKPOA is a proud sponsor of PAPA and
our local 4th of July parade for four years.
Be sure to wave as the patriotically-
decorated MKPOA car drives by!
The LAFD began brush
clearance inspections on
May 1. If you receive a
notice of non-compliance
you will have 15-days to
remove brush. If you
receive a 2nd notice, you will be fined
$320. If your property is still not in
compliance, the LAFPD will charge
the cost of brush clearance, the $320
fee and a $997 administrative fee. In
addition residents must pay a $23
fee because we live in a Very High
Fire Hazard Severity Zone unless you
do a self-inspection.
1. I always check the freezer – and not for food!
2. Here's a helpful hint: I almost never go into kids' rooms.
3. I won't have enough time to break into that safe where you keep your valuables. But if it's not bolted down, I'll take it with me.
4. A loud TV or radio can be a better deterrent than the best alarm system. You can buy a device that works on a timer and simulates the glow of a real television.
5. Sometimes, I carry a clipboard. Sometimes, I dress like a lawn guy. I do my best to never, ever look like a crook.

Palisades: Learn to become
energy wise with tips and
rebate information
Bring the entire family for
food, fun and facts
There are many ver-
sions of homemade
beer traps. The simplest
is a shallow pan or plas-
tic food container filled with an inch or
two of cheap, stale beer. Bury the
container so the lip is at about ground
level so that slugs and snails can eas-
ily crawl into the trap. Suspend a
cover that protects the beer but al-
lows slugs and snails to enter. They
will be attracted to the odor and fall
into the beer and die. Empty the trap
every day or two but don't put dead
slugs into the compost bin as they will
rot and smell bad.
