HSCA Community Highlights

Bright Spots in Our Community

Reactivation of S.E.R.V (Shorecliffs Emergency Response Volunteers): In coordinating with the Community Association and Dov Schoenherz, one of our new board members, the S.E.R.V. program has been reactivated with a team of 10 enthusiastic volunteers.

• The team has met twice and cleaned out six of the storage lockers where emergency supplies are kept, with one more locker remaining to be cleaned.

• A meeting was scheduled on July 18 to finish this phase.

• New supplies are being ordered so S.E.R.V. will be fully prepared if an emergency arises.

• This projects motto is “No Neighbor Left Behind,” and we’re actively building a list of residents who may need help.

• For more information, contact Dov at 714.794.2895 or bungalow22@yahoo.com.

• The teamwork and enthusiasm has been contagious, and it’s truly been a joy seeing so many residents come together.

Locks Added to Office-Area Bathrooms: New locks have been installed on the bathrooms near the office, improving security and controlled access.

Better Maintenance of Bathrooms by the Main Office: These bathrooms are now being maintained more consistently in terms of cleanliness.

Address at Entrance Fixed: The entrance to Huntington Shorecliffs now correctly displays the address as 20701, providing clear identification for visitors and services.

New Light on the Flagpole: The flagpole at the entrance has been fitted with a new light, keeping it properly illuminated at night.

Staff Wearing Bright Yellow Vests: Employees who walk the Park to read meters or handle minor maintenance are now wearing bright yellow vests so residents can easily recognize official personnel.

What Your Community Association is Still Hoping For

Fire Lane Repainting: We’re awaiting the repainting of the fire lanes, which was previously delayed until completion of the gas project. Now that the gas project equipment has been removed, we’re hoping this can move forward.

New Patio Furniture for Pool Areas: Both pool areas are still in need of replacement patio furniture to ensure comfort and safety for all residents.

Breezeway Barriers: Installation of barriers to stop e-bikes from speeding through the narrow breezeway walkways remains a priority for pedestrian safety.

Gas Project Update: We're seeking clarification on the status of the gas line project, since the equipment staged for it has been removed by the construction company.

More Frequent Jacuzzi Maintenance: We’re requesting an update on maintenance for the Jacuzzis at both the Grotto and Main Clubhouse. These should ideally be cleaned at least every six months, not on the longer schedule more typical of swimming pools.

Improved Maintenance of Main Clubhouse Bathrooms: While there have been improvements elsewhere, the bathroom by the Main Clubhouse still need better maintenance and more consistent cleaning.

Improved Landscaping by the Grotto Facility: We’re also hoping to see updates and enhancements to landscaping around the Grotto area to better match the upkeep of other parts of the community.

Your Community Association continues to advocate for these priorities.

The 1932 Summer Olympics were held in Los Angeles from July 30 to August 14. While the 2028 Summer Olympics are still a few years off, it is amazing of the many “firsts” that happened within LA’s first hosting.

The Olympic Coliseum in LA was built in 1924 when the city was bidding for that year’s Games but didn’t win the right to host the Summer Olympics until 1932. One of the reasons for Los Angeles’s success in securing the Olympics was that the organizing committee promised transportation, food, and housing subsidies for all competitors. For the first time, the ‘32 Games saw an Olympic Village built to house male athletes in 550 cottages on a 250-acre plot of land in Baldwin Hills for $2 a day; 177 female athletes stayed at the Chapman Park Hotel on Wilshire. And while there were complaints to this arrangement from political and racial disturbances, as well as fears that training secrets would be stolen, the Olympic Village concept proved popular and is still being used today.

Traditionally, the head of the host nation’s government attended the Olympic Games, but President Herbert Hoover made no appearance at either the Summer or Winter Olympics held in Lake Placid, NY that year. He chose to focus on his reelection which didn’t help as he lost by a landslide to Franklin Roosevelt and he didn’t carry California. President Theodore Roosevelt did not attend the 1904 Games in St. Louis but only because the Mayor of the City refused any help in officiating…so technically Hoover was the first not to attend.

Another break from tradition was the length of the Games. Between 1900 and 1928, no Summer Games had been shorter than 79 days, but In 1932, Los Angeles cut the days down to 16, and it has remained between 15 and 18 days ever since.

Prior to the 1932 Games, medals were presented with very little fanfare. Los Angeles introduced the first victory podium on which the gold, silver, and bronze medalists received the awards.

The Games also debuted the first photo-finish cameras which caused several tension-filled minutes for two athletes, Eddie Tolan and Ralph Metcalf, following the 100-meter final. It took 30 minutes for the announcer to share the results of the first photo-finish in history. By a mere two inches, or five thousandths of a second, Eddie Tolan was declared the winner in 10.38 seconds—separated by no more than “a gnat’s eyelash.”

The 1932 Games were also the first to use stopwatches, which enabled officials to time competitions to the nearest tenth of a second. An important innovative feature of the stopwatches was the split-second function, which made it possible to record both the total elapsed time and the intermediate (lap) times posted by each competitor.

Although unintentional, the first Olympic mascot was created at the 1932 Gams. A Scottish Terrier wandered into the Olympic Village and was adopted by the Games athletes as their unofficial mascot, “Smokey.”

Considering the economic climate at that time, Los Angeles paid off a $1 million bond issue to the State of California and still had a surplus of $206,000. Every Olympics before the Xth Olympiad, and every one since, has finished in the red that is until the 1984 Games, which was again hosted by LA., and again, it made a profit.

Here’s a few other interesting facts to LA’s first hosting of the Summer Games:

• Six months before the Games were set to begin, not a single country had responded to the official invitation. Of the previous nine Olympic Games, only the 1904 Games in St. Louis had been held outside of Europe. Because of the Great Depression, the cost of traveling to Los Angeles left many nations and their athletes unable to attend. The number of countries competing fell from 49 to 37.

• Poorer countries sent their athletes to LA with goods to trade instead of money. A team of 60 Brazilians arrived with bags of coffee to sell. It took some time to get through the red tape to sell the cargo to pay expenses, the Brazilians barely arrived in time for the competition. The Cubans, on the other hand, weren’t quite as lucky. They were sent over with sugar but when they docked in Galveston, TX, they were told sugar prices weren’t high enough to cover their travel expenses and they were forced to turn around and go home.

• Many of the spectator tickets had not been sold and it seemed as if the Memorial Coliseum, which had been expanded to 106,000 seats, might be empty. A few Hollywood stars, including Douglas Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin, Marlene Dietrich, and Mary Picford, offered to entertain the crowd and ticket sales picked up.

• Although LA was much smaller in 1932, traffic control was still a major concern for Olympic planners. Approximately one million automobiles were already in use within a 100-mile radius of the Olympic Stadium, and despite large and wide boulevards, road congestion was already commonplace in the 1930’s.

• Sixty-eight buses carried nearly 2,000 athletes and officials from four meeting points to the Opening Ceremony at the Olympic Stadium (Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum) and back “without a minute’s delay enroute,” despite heavy traffic induced by 100,000 spectators.

• Over a six-week period, which included training and the actual Games, motor coaches carried more than 68,000 athletes and officials a total of 83,360 miles without a single injury or delay.

• The City’s restrictive budget caused LAPD Chief Roy E. Steckel to appeal to 650 police officers to work 12-hour days and to postpone vacations. One hundred fifty university students assisted the police to bring the total number of traffic officers to 800. Streets were converted to one-way traffic heading to the Stadium prior to events, and to one-way traffic leading away upon their conclusion.

• The official Program of Events urged the public to “travel via the Big Red Cars” of the Pacific Electric Railway to enjoy “no traffic worries, no parking nuisance, or fees (and) money saving fares.”

Plans are underway for the 2028 Games and it sounds like they will be facing some of the same hurdles (pun intended) as they did in 1932. As for “firsts,” LA28 will be adding Baseball/Softball, Cricket (T20), Flag Football, Lacrosse (sixes), and Squash. Let the games begin!

California is the first and ONLY state to host both the Winter and Summer Olympics. Squaw Valley hosted the 1960 Winter Games and Los Angeles has hosted the 1932 and 1984 Summer Games with the 2028 Games right around the corner. But what other “firsts” is California know for? Here’s a few:

• The first motion picture theater, Tally’s Electric Theater, was opened by Thomas Lincoln Tally in Los Angeles in April 1902.

• On a cold San Francisco night in 1905, 11-year-old Frank Epperson accidentally crated the first popsicle. He forgot a mixture of sugar-filled soda powder and water on his patio overnight, along with its stirring stick. He decided to try it the next day and discovered it has transformed into a delicious treat.

• The first skateboards emerged in the late 40s or early 50s although their true inventors were unknown. California surfers revamped their means of transportation and attached roller-skate wheels to the bottoms of wooden boxes or boards. Larry Stevenson built the very first surfboardshaped skateboard in his garage in Santa Monica in 1963.

• The first black female streetcar conductor in San Francisco was 16-yearold Dr. Maya Angelou. She later became the first African American woman to present a poem at a presidential inauguration in 1993.

• In 1906, ice cream and American-style fudge were combined at C.C. Browns an ice cream parlor on LA’s Hollywood Boulevard and the first hot-fudge sundae was invented.

• On February 6, 1960, Academy Award recipient Joanne Woodward became the first person to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

• Arthur “Spud” Melin and Richard Kneer created the fist Hula-Hoop in 1958. Californians loved it so much that the duo sold nearly 25 million of them in the first four months and patented the idea in 1963.

• The first-ever U.S. rock festival—The KFRC Fantasy Fair and Magic Mountain Music Festival was held from June 10 to 11, 1967, at Sidney B. Cushing Memorial Amphitheatre in Marin County two years before the legendary Woodstock festival. The KFRC music festival had an iconic lineup featuring The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, and The Byrd's, who performed in front of thousands of attendees and helped jumpstart the iconic Summer of Love movements, which began in San Franciso HaightAshbury in 1967.

• The first wetsuit was invented in California and was originally made for U.S. Navy divers. The early prototypes were very different from the ones now used. The first versions were made of canvas and weighed around 30 pounds; they were meant to be used with a copper helmet, which in turn weighed approximately 55 pounds. The wetsuit has gone through many alterations to improve its usage, and there are now various types for different needs.

• Chinese fortune cookies are a California invention. Landscape designer Hakoti Hagiwara claims he popularized the cookies after buying them from San Franciso bakery, Benkyodo Company. But, David Jung, the creator of the Los Angeles-based Hong Kong Noodle Company, asserts that he created the biscuits in 1918. A Court of Historical Review tried settling the dispute in 1983, ruling in favor of San Francisco.

• The first California-native and only U.S. President to ever resign from office is Richard Nixon. He holds the record for the most appearances on Time magazine covers—appearing 55 time in over four decades.

QUOTES

A salary is the drug they give you to forget your dreams.

Kevin O'Leary

I would visualize things coming to me. It would just make me feel better. Visualization works if you work hard. That's the thing. You can't just visualize and go eat a sandwich."

Jim Carrey

When we forget to use visualization and imagination, it is like not using our minds.

Jose Silva

You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.

Mahatma Gandhi

The start is what stops most people. Don Shula

I realized early on that success was tied to not giving up. Most people in this business gave up and went on to other things. If you simply didn't give up, you would outlast the people who came in on the bus with you.

Harrison Ford

Want of foresight, unwillingness to act when action would be simple and effective, lack of clear thinking, confusion of counsel until the emergency comes, until self-preservation strikes its jarring gong, these are the features which constitute the endless repetition of history.

Winston Churchill

The difference between try and triumph is a little "umph."

Author Unknown

The pessimist worries about the wind; the optimist thinks it will change; the realist adjusts the sails.

William Arthur Ward

Progress equals happiness.

Tony Robbins

The Lighter Side

Careful

A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband.

Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen. "Careful," he said, "CAREFUL! Put in some more butter!

Oh my gosh! You're cooking too many at once. Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter.

Oh my gosh! They're going to STICK! Careful. I said CAREFUL!

You NEVER listen to me when you're cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! You know you always forget to salt them. Use the salt!"

The wife stared at him. "What in the world is wrong with you? You think I don't know how to fry a couple of eggs?"

The husband calmly replied, "I just wanted to show you what it feels like when I'm driving!"

GI Insurance

Airman Jones was assigned to the induction center to sell recruits GI insurance benefits.

Captain Smith noticed that Jones had a 100% record for insurance sales. It had never happened before.

The Captain then sat in the room and listened to Jones's sales pitch. Jones explained the basics of the insurance.

"If you have GI Insurance and get killed in battle, the government has to pay $200,000 to your beneficiaries. If you don't have GI insurance, and get killed in battle, the government only has to pay $6,000. Now, who do you think they send into battle first?"
