Want to Learn About Wind Power?

I’m Abie Rubin with Clean Currents, a local, independent green energy company, supplying residential and commercial customers with wind and solar power options.

Clean Currents is hosting Wind Powered Baltimore Week Oct. 15-21 to celebrate Baltimore’s wind powered businesses and we would like to invite the Rodgers Forge Community to join us.  Events range from networking events to happy hours, and are all hosted by wind powered businesses. I’ve included more information about Wind Powered Baltimore Week below.

That week, we are also kicking off the Green Neighborhood Challenge (GNEC), which gives community organizations the opportunity to raise funds for green projects while spreading the word about wind power. As an outstanding leader in the community, we think you would be a great GNEC participant.

Please join us at the Green Neighborhood Challenge Kick Off at Union Mill, 1500 Union Avenue, Baltimore, Wednesday, October 17^th, 5:30 - 6:45 pm to learn more about GNEC and how you can be involved. And, please pass this information on to anyone who may be interested as well.

 

Thanks, and I hope to see you during Wind Powered Baltimore Week!

BCPD Theft Alert

Once again we've seen reports of thefts from autos in the York Rd corridor. Six (6) cars were broken into and some property removed because the cars were not properly secured while parked outside the residences.  The targeted vehicles were parked in the 500 block of Wilton Rd and 100 block of Lapaix Ln.  As members of Towson Precinct Captain Trentzsch, Lt Stankowski and myself are asking you as community leaders in these affected neighborhoods to get the word out and stress the importance of properly securing all personal property when not being used. 

Thank You, Sgt Stephen Fink, 2815, PC06 COT

RFCOP Crime Update Week of October 1st - 7th

Halloween is coming and also the Pumpkin Patrol:

The Citizens on Patrol wishes you all a safe weekend.  We will be patrolling the Forge in hopes of discouraging mischief night and Halloween night vandalism.  Please if you see anything suspicious do not hesitate to call the police.  Baltimore County Police and all of Towson communities are banding together to coordinate patrols for all communities.  RFCOP is also implementing a schedule of patrols for the weekend by Rodgers Forge COP members. 

Ghosts, Goblins and Trick-or-Treat are just around the corner:

Rodgers Forge has had several patrols on Mischief Night for the last couple years. Anyone can participate.  We can provide vehicle lights for car patrollers or vests for folks that would rather walk or ride bikes. It's a fun night and seems to decrease the number of incidents in The Forge. We would be more than willing to pair anyone up with an experienced patroller.

Halloween Safety Tips - From PCPD

Don't Be Afraid Of Halloween. Just Be Aware.

You don't need to be scared of the ghosts and goblins that come to your house this Halloween, just cautious. The Baltimore County Police Department suggests a few precautions this year before you open your door.

It may seem easier to leave your front door open with only the storm door closed, but please don't. Storm doors were not meant to act as deterrents to thieves and robbers. Keep your main door locked and don't open it until you've looked through a window or the door's peephole. Open your door to only those children and adults you know and recognize.

The Department advises trick-or-treaters to be aware of their surroundings as well. Visit only those neighbors who are familiar to you. Remind children not to eat goodies before they get home. When they do arrive home, parents need to check the contents of their children's bags. Look for such things as unwrapped candy, loose pieces of candy, and fruit. When checking candy wrappers, look for unusual markings or bumps and bulges. These could be signs of tampering. Throw away all unwrapped goodies. If something appears suspicious, err on the side of caution and get rid of it.

Some other suggestions

* Adults should accompany young children, and older kids should travel in groups.

* Obey all traffic laws. Walk on sidewalks whenever possible and cross at crosswalks or corners. Never cross between parked cars.

* Do not go into any vehicles or homes while trick-or-treating. Wait outside for treats.

 * Respect other people's property. Don't destroy it.

 * Stay in your own neighborhood.

 * Parents, make sure masks have large holes for the eyes. It is easy for little ones to trip and fall on a dark night. If possible, use make-up instead of a mask. Give children flashlights to carry with them. Flashlights or battery-powered Halloween torches or lamps enable them to see better. It also makes it easier for others, especially motorists, to see them.

Baltimore County Police hope everyone will have a safe and fun Halloween.

 

Take Away The Fun Of "Moving Night"

Baltimore's tradition of "Moving Night," October 30, is not something that everyone cherishes. For those not familiar with the term "Moving Night," it began years ago as a series of pranks, but it is now just another reason for thieves to steal outdoor furniture and anything else that isn't nailed down. Don't become a statistic, play it safe and follow a few easy steps.

* Leave all outside lights on overnight. Check and replace all burned out bulbs. Remember that the sun sets earlier now.* Trim back all shrubs and trees for maximum visibility for inside and outside viewing.

* Place all outdoor furniture, barbecue grills and other outdoor items in a locked garage, shed or basement. If these are not viable options, use a chain and lock and attach it to a fence, pole or railing.

* Network with neighbors. Keep an eye on each other's property. It is easier to keep track on neighborhood activities if there are more eyes keeping watch.

* Contact the local Citizens on Patrol group. Ask if there are some special plans for this evening. You might be able to assist the group by watching for any strange activity that might occur on your street.

* Let the local precinct know of any suspicious or criminal activities from years past that might affect your street this year.

* Call 911 if you see anything suspicious or anyone acting suspicious. When you talk to the dispatcher, explain why you think the activity looks strange. Remember that a group of teenagers is not always looking for trouble.

* Lock all vehicles and remove all valuables.

Community Energy Meeting at St. Pius X

Are you a homeowner? Chances are that professional weatherization could save you 20-40% in home heating costs!

As the weather gets colder, St. Pius's Environmental Stewardship Group invites neighborhood homeowners to a meeting on saving energy at home. Learn how you can save energy, shrink your carbon footprint and create green jobs at the same time!

We'll reflect on our own responsibility to consider the impact of our electricity use, hear from Retrofit Baltimore < www.retrofitbaltimore.org> and learn how we are working to help homeowners save energy while helping to create good green jobs for under-served Baltimore residents.

You'll also have a chance to learn about and hear from Interfaith Power & Light <http://www.mdipl.org>, an organization that supports faith communities in responding to climate change.

We look forward to seeing you there!
