November 10, 2016 Page 3 Hawthorne Happenings News for the City of Good Neighbors from City Clerk Huber Veterans’ Day Event The Hawthorne Veterans Commission is sponsoring their second annual Veterans’ Day Event this Friday, November 11th starting at 10:15 a.m. at the Memorial Center. Last year’s event was well attended. Plan to honor our vets with your attendance. For all of the freedoms that we take for granted, we owe so much to our men and women who have put their lives on the line to protect us and preserve this great country, the greatest country in the world, the USA. Election Results Are you happy or upset with the results from Tuesday’s election? We will soon have a new president. We shall see if he can break up the logjam to bring about real legislation taking place on Capital Hill. There are still going to be a lot of people who are in shock with the results. They can not believe we have elected someone with no political experience and a less than sparkling moral past. I hope and pray that we can come together even if we have diverse political thoughts and views and be united. Robbery, Burglary, Theft or Not? A neighbor in the Ramona Tract posted recently on Nextdoor that his neighbor had left his car unlocked one evening and he had lost his laptop and his backpack. I had heard that if your car was not locked then the crime for taking items out of the car is minor. I asked our HPD to clarify what the real story was. Here is HPD’s response: “A robbery is when you take something from someone using force or fear – so the correct term is burglary. If the car is unlocked, then it’s ‘theft’ from the car. An auto burglary (the more serious crime) needs to have the car ‘locked’/secured as a requirement. One of the reasons crime is up in certain areas is because bad habits are now being exploited by our growing criminal population. Bad habits, meaning never locking house doors, cars, house windows, etc. It doesn’t matter if the car is on the street or driveway. However, if the car is in an enclosed garage, then there’s a chance you can add a ‘burglary’ charge by the fact of the criminal entering/ breaking into that structure as well…Summary: lock/hide/secure any valuables – period. Best crime prevention is neighbors looking out for each other.” Don’t make it easy for the bad guys or gals, LOCK your doors. Nextdoor It’s been a couple of years now since Nextdoor came into our community. Nextdoor is the neighborhood Facebook. People from your neighborhood post comments for their neighbors to read. Sometimes the posts are informative, like alerting everyone to a suspicious person at a certain location. Sometimes the post ask for help finding a reliable gardener or painter. Lost dog postings are common. It’s just any easy way to stay informed as to what your neighbors are up to in a non-threatening way.

Changes In Your Household? Tips For Updating Your Insurance These conversations can be hard, and it’s important to make your loved ones feel cared about, not cared for. When Adult Children Move Home It’s not often someone in their mid-20s is excited about moving back in with their parents. But almost one-third of adults between the ages of 18 and 34 are living with their parents. This transition can be expensive. Experts say hosting an adult child can cost between $8,000 and $18,000 per year. Therefore, from the beginning, you should set clear expectations. How long do they plan on staying? What is their work schedule? Will they help pay bills and insurance? As long as your child lives in the same household as you, there is no age limit to how long they can be listed on your auto insurance. However, 26 is now the maximum age that your child can be covered on your health insurance plan. Another insurance consideration is whether to include any of their expensive electronics or other personal belongings on your homeowners insurance policy. If so, will they help pay if the cost of the policy goes up? To help avoid misunderstandings, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners created a Welcome Home contract for hosting your adult children. To download the contract, and find other helpful resources, including tips and information to help all of you make the right insurance decisions, visit www.InsureUonline.org. • Finance (BPT) - The American household is changing. The typical single-family home has evolved in the 21st century. Today, it’s not uncommon for older parents to move in with their grown children, and with the combined rise in housing costs and debt from college loans, more college graduates are moving home with their parents. In fact, 47 percent of adults in their 40s and 50s either have a parent aged 65 or older living with them and are raising a child or financially supporting an adult child, according to the Pew Research Center. Along with larger family meals and more loads of laundry, there are important insurance considerations that today’s households need to consider. Making sure you are covered will go a long way to ensure the safety and financial well-being of your loved ones. When Your Parents Move In You probably remember having a few “tough talks” with your parents when you were growing up. If your parent or an elderly relative is moving in with you, it’s time to have another one of these talks. One of the biggest points to discuss is finances, which includes insurance. You want to be sure your parents are up-to-date with their auto and life insurance premiums. And if your relative is bringing valuable possessions into your home, you may need to update your homeowners policy. Also important is discussing potential long-term healthcare needs and discussing end-of-life wishes. “There is no substitute for hard work” - thomas a. edison CLASSIFIED ADS The deadline for classified copy and payment is NOON on Tuesday.
