RFCOP Crime Update Week of December 12th - 18th

Happy Holidays to everyone from the Rodgers Forge Citizens on Patrol:

Be Safe – Be Smart –

· Lock your home, car, sheds even if just going outside for a minute

· Turn those lights on

· Keep an eye out for suspicious conditions

· Follow the safe shopping, holiday guidelines from the BCPD

· Above all do not drink and drive, or let someone else – if you serve them alcohol you take their keys - that one mixed drink, wine, beer could be the death sentence for you, your passengers, other families on the road. If you must go somewhere, call a cab – it is cheaper than funeral expenses!!!

Summary of Dog Park Meeting with Councilman Marks

On Monday, December 5th, Rob Williams, Kathie Kolish and Board member Ruth Roberts attended a meeting Councilman Marks arranged to discuss Dog Parks. It was well-attended with folks from several dog parks: Paw Points at Robert E. Lee, Harford County, Perry Hall and Loch Raven. Others attending included dog trainers and “dog whisperers” and a rep from "Dogs on Wheels". The representatives from Paw Points explained the process of developing their park and discussed the day-to-day operation.

“At the end of the day, wanting and creating a dog park are two extremes. There are several issues that may prevent usfrom having a designated dog park.” said Kathie Kolish. “There are many issues to consider that make the creation of a park a financial and code enforcement dilemma. It should be noted that Paw Points took 11 years to come to fruition and they had a large, committed group of volunteers determined to find a site and raising money to make it happen.”

The Paw Points volunteers suggested that there are two big hurdles to overcome when choosing a dog park location. One, and perhaps most important: The park must have enough open space away from homes and neighbors to be a welcome part of the community. The noise factor, the run off/possible odors from feces, the increased foot and car traffic, possible illegal parkers in the alleys, and wear and tear on the designated area all need to be taken into consideration when choosing the site. Paw Points registered just under 500 dogs in less than month resulting in about 20 to 25 dogs using the park at any one time.

Two: The liability for a dog park. Liability insurance is very expensive under the best circumstances. Dog bites are one of the most expensive claims an insurance company might have to pay out, so premiums are very high. Fund raising to cover this cost is an on-going task.

Three: Volunteers. The yearly membership fees collected would not be sufficient to pay for daily oversight and maintenance at the dog park. This means volunteers would be needed to ensure that rules are obeyed and aggressive dogs controlled. Paw Points is unique in that Robert E. Lee Park rangers take on this role.

At the end of the meeting, all three RFCA members felt that efforts to establish a dog park would need more committed volunteers to meet and discuss possible solutions. The Paw Points volunteers assured us that the park is a wonderful thing, but it doesn’t come without a great deal of work on the part of volunteers. Councilman Marks is looking at other possibilities for dog parks in the county, such as Cromwell Valley Park. For now, it appears that there are no locations in Rodgers Forge that satisfy the need for open space.

If there are others in the community who would like to take up this issue and offer viable suggestions for the location, take on the job of fund-raising and working through the process, the Board would welcome your participation. Please come out to the next meeting in January and let us know what you think.

County to Continue Yard Material Pick-Up

After several complaints that people still have lawn materials bagged and awaiting pickup after the scheduled date (including mine!) we contacted the county and received this response:

"The Bureau of Solid Waste Management is working diligently with the County Collectors to resolve the yard material issue which is not unique to just your street or residence, but County wide. The issue is basically that the County Collectors can only haul so much yard material at any given time AND the amount of set out yard material County-wide is enormous. So while the last day of yard material set out has passed, the Collectors will continue to pick up as much of the material as they physically can until it is all gone.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact me directly and I will be happy to answer them and help you any way we can. Thank you.

Also, if you only have a couple bags then you can simply put it out with your normal trash and they should take it.

RFCOP Crime Update Week of December 5th - 11th

Message from Sgt. Fink Precinct 6, BCPD:

This week's report. A few street robberies and burglaries this week with a couple arrests (the two on Southerly was the same suspect). Remind everyone that when they're outside take only what is necessary and always be aware of their surroundings, try and stay in well lit areas at night-know that's not always easy to do. Most of the burglaries were "forcible entry" so let's stay vigilant in keeping alert to what's going on in our neighborhoods and call 9-1-1 when seeing/hearing anything suspicious. Thanks, Sgt Fink, PC06 COT

Copper Theft Alert:

In Baltimore County, several precincts, including the Towson Precinct, have seen an increase

of copper downspout thefts these past few weeks. Unfortunately, a Rodgers Forge home owner

was victimized on Saturday 12/10/11. According to the home owner, the incident occurred

while the home was occupied sometime during the middle of the day. Though not specific

to this case, a black pickup truck has been seen in areas where thefts have occurred.

A suspicious male was seen in these locations handing out fliers. He is described as a

white male, about 5'6" who is slightly hunched over. The male also has a scruffy look to himself.

We ask you to please be aware of this latest crime trend. If you notice a black pickup truck

or someone handing out fliers, please call 911. A C.O.P. called 911 today(12/13) because an individual

was leaving fliers at homes in the 300 block of Dunkirk Road. He called for a check on subject call.

He was not able to stay at the scene. There is nothing to lose calling 911 concerning someone you

are not familiar with. Better safe than sorry.

Friendly Reminder: Be Sure to Keep Gutters and Storm Drains Clean

Make sure that you have all gutters (on your roof AND in the streets) free of debris and leaves as winter approaches. Backed up storm drains on the streets can lead to flooded basements (its happened to me) and rain gutters that aren't cleaned out can cause water seepage in your basement. A little maintenance now to prevent a big headache later!

Also, keep in mind that the sides of curbs and streets are NOT okay places to dispose of your yard waste. This clogs gutters and when the freeze comes can cause hazardous slippery areas. Please be considerate and rake and bag your lawn refuse.

Thanks!

Idlewylde UM Nursery School Craft Sale 12/16-17

Hello,

My name is Cat Audette Holt.

My daughter attends Idlewylde UM Nursery School.

I am a local potter (Claymonster Pottery) and I am hosting a craft sale at the IUM nursery building on Regester Ave on December 16-17.

We will have 9 artists and delicious refreshments.

I wondered if there was a way to let the local residents know about this sale event in their community.

Here is a link to our FB page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Monster-of-a-Show/149004891505

I have also included jpgs of our mailer.

I appreciate your time.

Thank you
