Reminder: KEEP YOUR DOORS LOCKED!
A Message from Sgt. Fink of the BCPD:
Between 09/23 and 10/02 there have been three reported burglaries in the Rodgers Forge community where the person responsible entered the home through an unlocked rear door. Once inside the suspect removed items from the kitchen area of the home and then fled. There is no suspect description nor direction of travel. Please get the word out to your fellow residents of Rodgers Forge to always properly secure their homes and valuables; all three cases were crimes of opportunity, the suspect saw items of value in plain view and made entry through an unlocked door. Properly securing ones home will eliminate this opportunity thus making the home a safer environment for all.
The residences affected were on Pinehurst, Hopkins and Murdock Rds. Pinehurst was victimized after 8am while Hopkins and Murdock were during the overnight hours of 9pm to 6am.
Have your neighbors report any suspicious persons or activity to us via the 9-1-1 system asap.
Thank you, Sgt Fink, PC06 Community Outreach Team

Reminder: Hands Free Law to take effect Friday 10/1/2010
(the following is a message from Del. Susan Aumann regarding the upcoming law taking effect 10/1/2010)
Dear Constituents,
A new law takes effect Friday, October 1st, 2010, banning a driver from using a handheld telephone when his or her vehicle is in motion. Similar laws are found in seven other states and the District of Columbia.
A driver can only use his or her hands to start or end a call and to turn the phone off or on. The ban does not apply to emergency situations such as 911 calls or law enforcement and emergency workers during their official duties.
The law is only enforceable as a secondary offense, however, meaning a driver would have to be stopped for another reason besides holding a cell phone, like speeding or negligent driving.
A first offense will carry a maximum $40 fine which can be waived if the person produces evidence of getting a hands-free device. Second and subsequent offenses will carry fines of $100 and a point for the driver's license and, if a violator causes a crash, he or she could get three points.
Very truly yours,
Delegate Susan L.M. Aumann

MARYLAND HISTORICAL TRUST RECEIVES PRESERVE AMERICA GRANT
Trust to Improve Public Access to Maryland Historic Property Database
Crownsville (September 22, 2010) - The Maryland Historical Trust (MHT) received a $78,761 grant from the Department of Interior, National Park Service (NPS) through the Preserve America (PA) grant program, for "Improving Public Access to Maryland's Inventory of Historic Properties," an ambitious project to provide on-line public access to the entire Maryland inventory.
The Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties (MIHP) is a broad-based repository of information on districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects of known or potential value to the prehistory, history, archeology, architecture, engineering, or culture of the State of Maryland. The inventory, created shortly after the Trust was founded in 1961, now includes data on more than 12,000 archeological sites and 80,000 historic and architectural resources. Since 1992, MHT has been developing a comprehensive database and geographic information system (GIS) to improve access to this vast store of information.
There is currently limited public access to National Register information through MHT's website but most of the records are only available internally to staff and on-site library users. Due to high expectations and increasing demand for on-line access, the grant project would provide internet access to the entire, updated library of documentation contained in the Maryland Inventory, including National Register forms, determinations of eligibility, and inventory form text, photos, and maps. Making these records available through the internet will serve to directly educate the public about the historic resources in their own communities. It will also create increased opportunity for Preserve America communities, historic preservation commissions, heritage areas, Main Streets, and others to utilize historic property information to support their resource protection and heritage tourism development goals.
The public is invited to contribute to the development of the web-user interface for the Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties by visiting the Trust website at MHT.Maryland.gov. There the Trust will solicit input through an online survey regarding how to provide historic property data in a manner that best suits the public's needs.
Thirty-one Preserve America grants totaling $2.9 million were awarded during the first round of the 2010 grant competition. With these funds, communities and agencies support preservation efforts through heritage tourism, education, and historic preservation planning. Through these grant projects our country gains a greater shared knowledge about the Nation's past, strengthened regional identities and local pride, increased local participation in preserving the country's cultural and natural heritage assets, and support for the economic vitality of our communities.
For more information on this project, please contact Maureen Kavanagh via email at mkavanagh@mdp.state.md.us. For questions regarding the PA grant program, or to comment on this or any other proposed PA project, please contact Hampton Tucker, Chief, Historic Preservation Grants, NPS, at 202-354-2067 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 202-354-2067 end_of_the_skype_highlighting.
