SCA MEETING
WEDNESDAY,
MARCH 15
6:30pm
STONE MANSION
GREG KOTTEMANN –
IDENTITY THEFT
|
Message from
the Chairman
Just two very quick items
for you this month.
First, don’t forget to mark down our quarterly
SCA meeting on Wednesday, March 15. Seeing as how we missed our
December meeting, it will be nice to see everyone! Our meeting has
been changed to Wednesday to accommodate our guest speaker, Master
Police Officer Greg Kottemann. Greg will present his seminar on
identity theft and what you can do to avoid it. As this is a fairly
long presentation, our meeting will start at 6:30 versus the normal
7:30.
Second, we are getting closer to getting you Verizon
DSL service. We are working on a test case here in Stoneybrooke
and hope to have good news out to you within the next couple weeks.
All for now, see you on the 15th!
Mike
Message from
Supervisor Kauffman
At first glance, it’s hard to say whether the
County Executive’s proposed budget is more notable for what’s
in it or for what’s not included. Off the top, I appreciate
the priority given to a tax rate cut and to keeping the proposed “non-school”
part of our budget increase to within half a percent of the rate of
inflation. The County Executive has also recognized the need to expand
the team inspection approach to zoning and health and safety related
complaints initiated in Lee District as a response to our overcrowding
complaints. For the first time, the budget elevates the need for services
to our rapidly expanding senior population. I
have two concerns: our uncertainty over the direction of the housing
market and the lack of priority given to traffic management. While
this may not be a “housing bubble,” we are seeing houses
on the market twice as long this year as last and the median price
of housing is increasing at less than a third the rate we saw in
2005. In the face of this uncertainty, the Board can neither launch
significant new services nor make significant cuts in taxes. It’s
a flat beer taste that leaves you wanting something different but
uncertain if you can swallow the alternative.
To add more focus to our transportation concerns,
I supported an initiative to have the County play a larger role
in demanding coordinated transportation management from new development.
It’s not enough to say “trust us.” Folks have
to see real commitments up front for getting people to telecommute
or take transit. My colleagues also supported my request for a related
initiative to give our staff the necessary resources to better assess
the cumulative impact of development in a specific area. Today,
we rely on consultants employed by the development community to
analyze the impact of projects one case at a time.
Finally, the County Executive does recognize the
need to bring closure to our commitment to set aside a financial
reserve for times of severe economic stress. Fairfax County actually
has the lowest reserve of any of the major jurisdictions in the
country. The City of New Orleans only had a two-week financial reserve
before Hurricane Katrina hit and as a result, had to lay off all
employees but firefighters and police. We can’t afford to
let that happen here.

Looking for Part-time Day Care
Jennifer Smallidge is looking for a stay-at-home mom or grandmother
who's available on Tuesday mornings for about 2 hrs to watch
her 7 month old for her. She would like someone to come
to her house preferably from 8:45am - 11am for 10 weeks, starting
March 27th. Contact her directly at
.
Looking for Walk America Sponsors
Did you know that premature birth is the leading cause of newborn
death in the first month of life? It affects half a million
babies a year in the United States. Those who survive may
have lifelong health problems. And premature births are
on the rise - up 30% since 1981.
That is why I am asking you to support me in March of Dimes WalkAmerica.
Because premature birth can happen to any pregnant woman. In nearly
half the cases, the causes are unknown. The March of Dimes is
leading the way to find answers by supporting research into the
causes of premature birth. I am joining the fight, and so can
you!
Your support helps fund:
- Research into stress and other factors that may trigger preterm
labor.
- Programs to educate pregnant women to recognize the warning
signs of preterm labor.
- Tools to help health care providers find better ways to detect
women who may be at risk for preterm labor.
Please join in and help fight prematurity. Visit my webpage
and sign up as a sponsor in the Walk that saves babies!
I am walking on Sunday April 23rd, 2006 and can accept donations until Monday
April 17th, 2006. I have set a personal goal to raise $1000 for
the cause, and I formed a team with members of my MOMS Club in
an effort to raise an even greater amount. We
are walking regularly to get ready for the 5 mile walk around beautiful
Lake Accotink in Springfield VA.
You can donate very easily by going to the link below and using
your credit card or checking account for your tax-deductible
donation: http://www.walkamerica.org/jennlhop
There is also an option at my website for you to forward this
information on to people you know who would be willing to make
a contribution to the cause as well.
You can send a donation directly to me at:

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!
Ride for the Dream
The weekend of June 10-11th, I will be riding for Team Navy* and
joining over 800 cyclists to ride in the Wells Fargo MS150 Bike
Tour. We will be cycling 150 miles in two days to raise money
for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and its mission to
end the devastating effects of MS.
The National MS Society offers people with MS
new hope and different dreams – hope for better treatment
or even a cure, and dreams of new ways of living independently
with this disease. By participating in the MS150 Bike Tour, I
am helping to fuel these dreams.
You can help support my efforts. My personal goal
is to raise $1000. I want to make a difference in the fight against
MS! I hope I can count on you to help me reach my goal. We have
already started training, but I’ll keep you updated on my
training and let you know how my adventure turns out! I have just
begun editing the web site below, stay tuned for improvements.
Again, thank you for your help and support in
this cause that is so important to me.

Pentagon, not even remotely associated with the Navy Cycling Team
and, unfortunately, not financially sponsored by the Department
of the Navy....
