Spring Meeting Recap
Author:
• Sunday, March 18th, 2012
It was an awesome West End Spring Meeting. Over 50 neighbors and friends came out to hear the latest news, discuss recent issues and to meet up with other neighbors. We heard how we can work as a collective team to fight crime in the neighborhood. We also had our newest neighbor attend (see photo  below).

Our newest West Ender was at the meeting

 For those of you who did not attend, Jennifer Watson has prepared this brief recap of our featured speakers.

Sergeant Rich Celli and his colleague Officer Dan Marincik attended the neighborhood meeting last week to speak about the recent drug-related arrests and to commend the neighborhood on our involvement.  Sgt. Celli and Officer Marincik want to encourage neighbors to continue to call to report suspicious activity, people or vehicles.   Remember that this is our neighborhood, not the drug dealers.  Let’s work together with the Police so this crew gets the message that selling drugs is not OK in our neighborhood! Here is how you can help…

Non-Emergency Dispatch, 528-5222 – To report suspicious people, vehicles or activity.  Remember that any description you have can really help (gender, race, approx height, weight, clothing, car color, address, etc.)

Graffiti Hotline, 543-3499 – To report graffiti.  There has been a spike in graffiti around the city and in our neighborhood.  There is once again a member of SR Police actively responding to reports called into the Graffiti Hotline.  If you see graffiti ‘in progress’, please call Non-Emergency Dispatch.

We are extremely fortunate to have the Downtown Enforcement Team covering our neighborhood. If you are aware of an emerging or existing pattern of issues report to Non-Emergency Dispatch (available 24/7) first and then follow up with Sergeant Celli or Officer Dan Marincik (Not on call 24/7, they will respond when they are able.)

Sergeant Rich Celli, 543-3639, rcelli@srcity.org – Sergeant Celli is in charge of the ‘Downtown Enforcement Team’ and Beat 9 (he also handles Traffic.)  He works on the ‘big picture’ and is also out on the streets of our neighborhood.

Officer Dan Marincik, 543-3600 ext 3879, dmarincik@srcity.org –Officer Marincik is part of the ‘Downtown Enforcement Team’ and his active patrol area includes our neighborhood.

For more information about the March 12th arrests on Lincoln & Ripley Streets, read the press release from Sgt. Richard Celli and view the Press Democrat article

Ripley Street rock cocaine arrest -SRPD Press Release

(Excellent report Jennifer! )

Graffiti? A pothole that needs filling? Just released: An app for iPhone or Android called “My Santa Rosa” that allows citizens to report problems to the City directly. Description: Issues submitted with this application go directly into the issue tracking system in Santa Rosa, CA. This ensures the fasted response as your issue is automatically routed to the appropriate employee to handle your issue. Please report issues as you see them so we can make Santa Rosa, CA an even better place to live and work.
Crime Alert: Somebody broke into a Carport storage area on the 200 block of W. 6th Street. Locks were cut- mostly tools stolen. This happened on 3/16, Friday sometime after 11:45 p.m. A police report was filed.

The West End Vintage Rose garden- in spite of being uprooted and spending several months in pots- our vintage roses were replanted in their new location. They spent this year re-establishing themselves- and have been under the loving care of our W. E. Rose Garden lady Gina Stateler-Calhoun. The rose garden is bound to be lush and incredible in the upcoming season.

"Georgetown" Rose

DeTurk Round Dog Park- Well used and well loved, the dog park is a social gathering place for neighbors and other dog loving residents. There  is a monthly Poodle Party and Pug Play day held at this great little park. Although the park has suffered with irrigation issues… S. R. Rec and Parks assures us that those have been fixed.   Peja- the Golden Retriever and owners Cherie and Jeremy Kemp live close to the park and cheerfully spend time keeping it in order.  We are fortunate that many dog park “regulars” dedicate themselves to caring for this lovely little jewel right in our own neighborhood.

Aren’t we lucky?

Happy Thanksgiving!
Author:
• Monday, November 21st, 2011
Thanksgiving… a time to reflect and be grateful for the good things in our lives.

Our Fall meeting was very informative. Special guest Supervisor Shirlee Zane came by to give us an update on SMART. Shirlee is no stranger to the West End. She frequently rides her bike through the area and said that she admires our neighborhood. She is a well-known dog lover and even brought one of her dogs to the meeting. She also opened the new DeTurk Round Barn Dog Park in March. Shirlee, also a member of the SMART board, had attended that day’s Railroad square rally in support of SMART and was pleased by the impressive showing of supporters. Her report had a positive outlook on the project.

Santa Rosa Rec & Parks reported on the current status of the DeTurk Round Barn and the events. There will be an open house on December 10th for anyone who would like to see inside of the barn and would like to inquire about renting it for events. You can bring your dog to take a photo with Santa too. Rec & Park would like to change the use permit to allow for number of people and hours. There will be a public meeting and formal process for this- so stay tuned.

Neighbors are what makes the West End special. At our meeting, new and established neighbors described their West End history. Allen Thomas gave the West End year in review… and that covered many of the events and happenings in our busy neighborhood. Good meeting!

Shirlee Zane and her Westie.
