Sidewalks along Ramon Road funded!
Today we received good news from City Hall. The city was awarded grant funding from the Riverside County Transportation Commission in the 08/09 fiscal year for the proposed sidewalk on the south side of Ramon Road. The grant is in response to the WSNO priority list and a letter to the City Engineer dated 1/24/08 requesting the addition of sidewalks on Ramon Road. The total project cost is $123,900 with the grant for $92,900 of the cost. The city will pay the remaining costs.

“Jungle Red” Sculpture is installed on Warm Sands Drive
On January 18, 2008, the Warm Sands sculpture installationwas underway. The artist himself was there to guide the huge steel pieces into place. Due to the weight and size of the sculpture, a crane was used. The following day, the red and silver paint was applied. The sculpture was named “Jungle Red” after the nail polish color Joan Crawford made famous in her 1939 film “The Women.”

Neighborhood Watch Signs Ordered
On 6/20/07, the WSNO placed an order for 20 Neighborhood Watch Signs. The signs will be custom made with the Palm Springs Police Departments name and phone number. The sign ordered features a large eye and the color is blue and white. The signs were ordered from the National Sheriffs Association. An interesting fact about the signs was that the Kansas Correctional Facility will be producing them and due to the back log of work, the signs will not be ready for 6-8 weeks. Placement of the signs will be coordinated with the City of Palm Springs. WSNO wants all of you to be aware of the signs, and if you notice any unusual activity within the neighborhood, please report it to the police as soon as possible.

Successful First Fundraising Event
The first WSNO rummage sale event, our first attempt at raising funds was held 5/26/07. Our new web site, neighborhood watch signs, and other objectives of the WSNO could not be accomplished this year without raising much needed funds.
The social committee, chaired by Marcy Wolf’s, was instrumental in making this event a huge success. The organization asked for donations from the community at large, and the day before the event, the donated items filled a U-Haul truck.
Members were up early the day of the sale and WSNO is happy to report the event was a success. A special thank you goes out to the following committee members for their dedication and hard work to make our first fund raiser a big success: Marcy Wolf, Bill Post, Max Davila, Catherine Marcy, Gordon Elkins, Doug Wylie,Terry Russ, John Johnson, and Robert Stone. Our grand total for the day was $685.00 plus 2 new memberships.

Neighborhood Watch in Action
Dear WSNO,
My wife and I would like to briefly report on an incident three nights ago that exemplified the Neighborhood Watch in action. At around 10.00 PM a car was driven into our front yard fence, the kinetic energy transferring along the fence caused an interior wall to cave in and all in all a considerable amount of damage was done. Thankfully no family members or pedestrians were around at the time.
Our neighbor heard the noise and immediately came from his house and saw the vehicle’s driver staggering around and observed him writing a note before climbing back into his vehicle and driving off. The note was meaningless but our neighbor took down the car registration number. The police were warned there appeared to be a drunk driver in the area and in due course came to photograph the scene and take full details provided by our neighbor. Their report is pending.
We would like to record and convey our sincere and grateful thanks to our neighbor for his public-spirited response and action, without which we would have no means of redress nor would Palm Springs Police have had the opportunity to seek out a most dangerous driver.

Parking your Recreational Vehicle
It is not legal to park RV's in front of one's home or on the streets of Warm Sands. We have encountered several instances of people living illegally in recreational vehicles in our neighborhood and, with the help of City Hall, have successfully acted to terminate these practices.
Ramon Mobile Park is within our boundaries and should be used to store your RV’s when not in use. For more information, please contact WSNO by e-mail and we will get you in touch with the park manager.
