CMT Co-Chair Iva Johnson, who proposed beautifying Hilltop Park.
A welcome sign for West Hills? A fund for homeowners to purchase security cameras?
How about renovating a playground currently strewn with bottles and needles? Or adding strings of those cute bulbs to illuminate trees along Whalley Avenue?
Westvillians and West Rockers are having a hard time choosing on which of those to spend $20,000.

One of two men robbing a Fairfield Street man was wearing a mask depicting the marvel Comics character Venom. In a separate incident, someone slipped a Joker card under a rear store door —the night before someone tried to break in.
Ward 26 alder candidates Darryl Brackeen Jr., Joshua Van Hoesen.
Joshua Van Hoesen got a preview of what he’d hear on the Upper Westville campaign trail when he moved into his new house — and saw all the lead paint on the porch and the sump pump at work in the basement.
Darryl Brackeen has heard a lot about sinking houses and water-caused damage in the six years he has represented the neighborhood.

Police don’t know whether an argument over canine bathroom habits led to a fire erupting in a tree on Valley Street.
They do know that someone made off with $5,000 worth of copper fittings, and someone else climbed a fence at the Connecticut Tennis Center and carted away powered landscaping equipment. And they discovered that a phony Craiglist ad apparently separated a Missouri woman of $1,750 that she thought was securing her an apartment on Central Avenue.

A Westville cop caught a man who swiped a purse out of the back seat of a car involved in a crash. A carpet-cleaning company employee swindled a customer out of an $8,000 rug, while another scammer (“Andrew Williams”) used the internet to bilk a Westville woman out of $500.

“Over the last few weeks, we have seen a decrease in car break-ins. This has been achieved by a partnership between the police and the community to address this uptick. The police have increased patrols, and arrested car thieves while residents have provided me with video footage (used to ID perps and help pinpoint areas to deploy resources) and remembered to lock their vehicles. Let’s keep it up!”

Police arrested a babysitter for allowing a 2‑year-old boy to wander alone in West Hills. And thieves on Blake Street made off with a Chinese delivery order after at least simulating having a handgun.
