BCPS fields closed for Towson Rec tonight
PUBLIC SCHOOL FIELDS CLOSED TO ALL TOWSON RECREATION COUNCIL ACTIVITIES MONDAY, AUGUST 29TH.
Baltimore County Public Schools has closed ALL county school fields to Rec Council activities on Monday, August 29. BCPS owns and manages all school fields, therefore Rec and Parks and the Towson Recreation Council must abide by their decision. If your child's team practices at a school-- Rodgers Forge ES, Riderwood ES, Stoneleigh ES, Dumbarton MS, or Towson HS-- his/her practice is cancelled tonight.
HOWEVER, Towson parks--Glendale, Overlook, Forge Park, and Meadowood--are under the jurisdiction of County Rec and Parks. A decision to open these fields, based on actual site by site field conditions, will be made by Rec and Parks personnel at 4 pm this afternoon. If your child practices at a Towson park, they may have practice tonight.

Change in gradual entrance for Kindergarten at Rodgers Forge
For RFES families with children entering Kindergarten, here is the scoop from Principal Deise on how the gradual entry will be affected by tomorrow's weather-related closure:
Monday gradual entrance students will be invited to come on Tuesday to make it fair for all the children. It will be the choice of the parents. All Kindergarten students will report on Wednesday. If a Monday gradual entrance student is unable to accept the invitation to come Tuesday, the youngster will not be considered absent.
Of course, school could be closed Tuesday, too, depending on how many outages and blocked roads remain. I am glad I'm not a teacher or administrator this week and having to deal with all this!

How'd you fare in the hurricane?

We have power and as far as I can tell no damage (although our Comcast internet service is spotty), but I know other blocks in Rodgers Forge and Towson are lights out. And with this wind I suppose there could be more outages. Anything major where you are?
Traffic alert from Rob of COP this morning: Tree across the road near the top of 200 block Murdock and tree across the road outside house in 6800 block of Blenheim near Murdock. Both incidents had been reported to County Roads as of 5am

Oh, Irene!
PS: Councilman David Marks just sent out this email about emergency preparedness, and I also just received an ominous call, as I'm sure you did, from BGE urging people to get ready for several power-free days.
With the recent earthquake and the threat of a hurricane, I wanted to remind you of Baltimore County's emergency preparedness Web Site. This site contains helpful information on how to prepare for emergencies, as well as what to do in the event of pending natural disasters.
Additionally, if you are on Twitter, I encourage you to sign up for updates at www.twitter.com/BACOemergency.
Finally, the National Weather Service Web Site has specific information about the pending arrival of Hurricane Irene. That site can be accessed here: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/.

Capping enrollment at West Towson
Sun: At last night's Baltimore County school board meeting, administrators said that if more students continue to enroll at West Towson this fall, they may cap the enrollment. Such an action would mean that families who move into the area zoned for West Towson would not be allowed to go there, but would be sent to another school. ...

Note from Towson University about pipe work tonight
Dear Rodgers Forge Neighbors:
Construction on the new Tiger Arena (Towson Center addition) continues to move on schedule for a Spring 2013 opening date.
As a courtesy, I want to inform you that crews are diligently working on infrastructure and ground work at this time. During normal business and construction hours (7 a.m. until 7p.m.), you may have noticed a great deal of excavation and backfilling to prepare for extensive work on water valves that travel throughout the existing Towson Center. Between 6 p.m. and no later than 9 p.m. TONIGHT, Wednesday, August 24, 2011, the contractor will be performing a crucial cut to a water valve with a gas-powered saw that may or may not be heard beyond the property line. This task is expected to take 30 minutes.
We asked the contractor and our existing Athletics staff/programs to make special arrangements to prevent this cut from occurring overnight in order to minimize any possible disruption to your community. We are notifying you of this work because of it is an exception to our normal construction hours, but of extreme importance to the overall construction and timeline of the Tiger Arena project.
As we have done in this scenario, we will continue to work with the contractors to minimize noise and disruption associated with the construction of the arena--including complete the project in a timely fashion.
Thank you for your continued patience and support. Please do not hesitate to reach me if you have any questions.

Fires
Rob of Citizens on Patrol says: A dumpster at RFES was torched a little after 9:00 last night. I discovered an empty 5oz bottle of lighter fluid by a tree next to the hard court around 7 a.m. Police were notified. Also, there was a vehicle fire at the Rodgers Forge Apartment complex around 2p.m. I'm not sure if that was a deliberate fire or an engine fire.

A good reminder for our kids about bullying
"Thought for the new school year: The girl you just called fat? Has been starving herself. The boy you called stupid? Has a learning disability and studies 4 hours a night. The girl you just called ugly? Puts on make-up, hoping people will like her & calls herself ugly when you're not around to do it. The boy you just tripped? Already gets abused enough at home. The girl you called a loser? Will be calling herself a loser for the rest of her life."

FBI launches Child ID app
A Rodgers Forgian told me about this new app:
"You're shopping at the mall with your children when one of them suddenly disappears. A quick search of the nearby area is unsuccessful. What do you do?
Now there's a free new tool from the FBI that can help. Our just launched Child ID app—the first mobile application created by the FBI—provides a convenient place to electronically store photos and vital information about your children so that it’s literally right at hand if you need it. You can show the pictures and provide physical identifiers such as height and weight to security or police officers on the spot. Using a special tab on the app, you can also quickly and easily e-mail the information to authorities with a few clicks.
The app also includes tips on keeping children safe as well as specific guidance on what to do in those first few crucial hours after a child goes missing." More info here.

Another cleat exchange this Tuesday
Update: We will be doing another exchange night next Tuesday [August 23]. Same place same time. If you didn't get a chance to come out last night, bring your cleats next week!
From Towson Rec: Need cleats for your youth soccer player? Have a pile of outgrown cleats in the closet? Wouldn’t it make sense to just exchange your child’s used (but-clean-and-in-good condition) cleats for a bigger sized pair?
Come to the first annual TRC Cleat exchange--Tuesday, August 16th from 5:30-8 pm at the Rodgers Forge ES activity room (east side of the building). Bring a pair of clean used cleats and pick out a pair of bigger cleats to take home with you. It’s that simple!
Cleats can be brought to the event or dropped off/exchanged prior to Tuesday at the bin at the TRC office door on the side of Dumbarton Middle School between 9 and 3 pm. Exchange tickets will be available at the drop off.
Cleats can also be donated without exchange. All left over cleats will be donated to charity. Any questions, contact Jennifer Bolster at mjbolster@yahoo.com or (410)321-4467.

Summer snow day for the polar bears
The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore is giving the polar bears a snow day in August, courtesy of Baltimore City Recreation and Parks and the Mt. Pleasant Ice Arena. The Zamboni shavings from Monday, Aug. 22, and the early morning shaving on Tuesday, Aug. 23 will be picked up and brought to the Zoo by Zoo staff. Approximately 2,000 pounds of ice shavings will be placed in the polar bear exhibit and at 10:30 a.m., the bears will come out to see a little winter wonderland in their exhibit.
The public is also invited to see this fun example of “cool” summertime enrichment for the bears! Tuesday, Aug. 23, 2011 at 10:30 a.m.

Police to crack down on unofficial dog park at Dumbarton Middle
Good Day,
Please get the word out to the residents of the Rodgers Forge Community, especially those who own dogs, that between the Officers of Towson Precinct and the Animal Control Office for Baltimore County, we will be stepping up enforcement of the "Leash Laws" and "School Grounds" due to complaints received from those who use the athletic fields between Rodgers Forge Elementary School and Dumbarton Middle School.
We understand this has long been an issue on these fields, however people were not complaining to us in the past whereas now they are, with both calls to our 911 Center and Animal Control plus letters to Police Headquarters. At issue are safety and health concerns, persons utilizing the fields-both adults and juveniles-do not know how friendly or dangerous some of these dogs may be as they're void of direct owner control via the leash and when these dogs relieve themselves the owners are not right there to clean up and thus feces are left on the grounds creating unhealthy conditions for those playing on the fields.
Pet owners need to have their pets on leashes when outside their homes, they cannot have their pets roaming areas that are posted "No Pets" or "No Dogs" and they need to pick up after their pets when they relieve themselves. Failure to abide to these laws can result in Citations, Court appearances and fines.
Thank You,
Sgt Stephen Fink
On a related note, Councilman Marks is helping get a dog park in Perry Hall; maybe Rodgers Forgians could work with him to get one in this area, too. Also, the dog park in Robert E. Lee Park is set to open in October.

Another variance request for a Rodgers Forge home
Some homeowners on the 300 block of Murdock have requested a zoning variance in order to fix up the screened-in porch in the back of their home and to also add glass walls and sliding glass doors to it in order to make it a 3-season porch. Because they plan to add glass, that makes it an "enclosed" structure and requires a variance; no variance is required for non-enclosed structures. The roof of the porch is said to be in disrepair and could collapse soon.
I spoke to one of the homeowners, Frank Meyer, and he said he was unaware of the recent case at 300 Hopkins in which the Rodgers Forge board formally opposed the variance and which the judge ultimately denied. (Read about that case here.) I have not yet learned if the board plans to oppose this variance as well.
"We're just trying to maintain our property value and that helps the entire community," he said. "Why anyone would make an effort against that seems to me to be ill directed."

Pierce's Park needs your help
Pierce's Park, which is going to be a great park/oasis by the Inner Harbor, is seeking volunteers to help build willow tunnels Aug 23-26. New York willow artist Bonnie Gale will be on hand to teach volunteers how to construct with willow branches and create the structures. Each tunnel is 25 feet long and tall enough for kids to run through. A living play structure!
Volunteers will be working in shifts- either 9-12 or 1-4, or as much as they can commit. Kids welcome with an adult helper. We are still seeking volunteers for most shifts. Info on the park can be found at piercespark.org. To volunteer contact Emily Hiller at Emily.Hiller@Gmail.com.

Latest crime report
Lots of burglaries this week, including one on Regester in RF. Read the report here.
Also, a note from the police:
"Don't take anybody's word that they work for BGE -- ALWAYS request identification and contact BGE if still a question. BGE employees will welcome the request and the company encourages customers to call to verify their employees, contact information is usually included in the monthly bill.
Secure any outbuildings--garages, sheds, etc--on your property and if something cannot be locked do not leave valuable property inside if it cannot be secured another way. Don't leave valuables in plain sight in your vehicle. I know we all want the convenience of leaving things where they are and coming back to them later but the fact is others will find these things and take them from us so we must do better at securing our valuables.
Thanks, Sgt Fink"

Can playgrounds be too safe?
“I grew up on the monkey bars in Fort Tryon Park, and I never forgot how good it felt to get to the top of them,” Mr. Stern said. “I didn’t want to see that playground bowdlerized. I said that as long as I was parks commissioner, those monkey bars were going to stay.”
His philosophy seemed reactionary at the time, but today it’s shared by some researchers who question the value of safety-first playgrounds. Even if children do suffer fewer physical injuries — and the evidence for that is debatable — the critics say that these playgrounds may stunt emotional development, leaving children with anxieties and fears that are ultimately worse than a broken bone. Read full story here.
Do you agree playgrounds need to let kids take more risks? Or do you wish you could have your kid wear a helmet while going down the slides?

Octopus and camouflage; one of the craziest things I've ever seen
From Science Friday: When marine biologist Roger Hanlon captured the first scene in this video he started screaming. (If you need to see it again, here's the raw footage.) Hanlon, senior scientist at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, studies camouflage in cephalopods--squid, cuttlefish and octopus. They are masters of optical illusion. These are some of Hanlon's top video picks of sea creatures going in and out of hiding.

Upcoming Closure of Cromwell Bridge Road
From Councilman David Marks: "I wanted to let you know of a road closure in the Parkville/Towson area. BGE will be removing two trees along Cromwell Bridge Road that have been deemed hazardous to the road and to BGE facilities. In order to effectively facilitate their removal, BGE will need to use a crane. Because of the width of the crane and the size of the working area, the road will be fully closed during the time the crane will be in operation.
As a result, Cromwell Bridge Road between Oakleigh Road and Satyr Hill Road will be closed on Saturday, August 13th. If heavy rain precludes working on the 13th, August 14th will be used as a back-up day. My understanding is that the work will begin at 9 a.m., and wrap-up by 4 p.m. Signs will be posted a few days before the closure.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but wanted to let you know about this as soon as I found out about it."

Each Tuesday during August, the Zoo will offer a 25% discount on admission for tickets purchased at the gate, and each visitor will get a coupon for a free frozen popsicle or ice cream treat, redeemable at The Village Green. On Tuesdays we will also be highlighting some of our summer animal enrichment programs, and keepers will be on hand to talk to visitors about how they keep the animals cool in the summer.
The featured Tuesday enrichment schedule is:
· 10:30: Otter enrichment -- could be a pile of ice, ice treat, misters, sprinkler and a keeper will be available to talk to visitors.
· 11:30: Elephant enrichment will immediately follow the WILD encounter at 11:00 am.
· 2:15: Chimp enrichment during keeper chat will be smoothies, ice treats, sprinkler or another cool surprise.
· 2:30: Polar Bear enrichment during keeper chat, most likely ice treat or pile of ice.
On Thursdays in August, the Zoo will stay open late – until 7:00 pm – so people can visit into the early evening when temperatures should be cooling off just a bit. Prices will dip too, with tickets available for 50% off after 4:00 pm at the Main Gate. Guests can tour the zoo, listen to some live music and enjoy happy hour in the Jones Falls Zephyr Train Station. Bring the whole family, or make it a date night! http://www.marylandzoo.org/2011/07/beat-the-heat-august/
