Plan Now for School Closings If you haven’t already done so, register now for Keep in Touch, a service that al-lows employees, parents and others inter-ested in emergency messages and other

information about the school system to receive up-dates via e-mail. To sign up (or update your pro-file), visit the FCPS web site at www.fcps.edu and choose ‘Keep in Touch E-mail’ on the left side of the web page.

Make plans for your children in the event that you are not available for an early school closing, such as due to inclement weather. Arrange for someone who can pick them up for you. Also de-cide who will watch your children if school is can-celed or delayed and you still have to work—remember that the public library is not your baby-sitter and you cannot leave children alone there.

Fairfax County Seeks Public’s Input for FY 2010 Budget

Fairfax County residents will have an op-portunity to provide their input on the Fiscal Year 2010 Budget (July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010) to county leaders in a variety of ways this year. Fairfax County is projecting a budget deficit of more than $400 million for FY 2010.

Residents are encouraged to call the budget hotline at 703-324-9400, submit comments online at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/budget. There are also links to the school’s 2010 budget, where residents can provide input on that budget as well.

TRAVEL HELP FROM VDOT Before you pack up the car and head off to Grandma’s

for the holidays, take a moment to go online to check the weather and road construction for your route. The Vir-ginia Dep’t of Transportation at www.vdot.virginia.gov has useful travel information, including traffic cameras, road conditions, and lane closures. In the Travel Center section you can also find winter driving tips, which might be a good review for both new and experienced drivers. The Info Center provides various information, including contact numbers to report unsafe conditions, such as blind or poorly marked intersections, slick or icy roads. Call the Highway Helpline at (800) 367-ROAD.

Another useful website from the Virginia Dep’t of Transportation can be found at www.511virginia.org. Their toll-free 511 phone service and this website features tools to help you get around.

Winter Driving Safety Tips Spend a few moments to read through the tips below, and prepare your vehicle in advance of bad weather. Make sure your new drivers read this as well.

1. Check your tire pressure and tread wear. Have your battery checked, as well, and replace if not holding a charge.

2. Fill your windshield wiper fluid reservoir regularly and change your windshield wiper blades.

3. Clear all snow and ice from ALL windows (front, back, and side), headlights, brake lights, AND the roof of your vehicle. Put your ice scraper and snow broom in your car NOW!

4. Store a blanket, jumper cables, flashlight, snacks, mit-tens/caps, shovel, first aid kit, sand/cat litter/traction devices, and charged cell phone in your car.

5. Do not leave your vehicle running unattended. Vehi-cle theft increases during winter months due to this.

6. Minimize night driving especially when snow and ice are present.

7. When driving on wet or icy roads, give yourself more stopping distance between vehicles than usual.

8. Slow down. The speed limit is the MAXIMUM speed, not minimum.

9. DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE.

Happy Holidays Nancy 703-517-1722

Carole 703-967-4619

Over the next few weeks, many of us will be taking to the malls and shopping centers in preparation for the holiday season. Crime seems to increase during the holiday season, but more so with tough economic times such as we have now. If you have young adults that will be out without an adult nearby, even if traveling with a group of friends, make sure to go over these safety tips with them before they head out. • Dress casually and comfortably; don’t wear ex-

pensive jewelry or clothing. • Inform children to find a store clerk or

security person if they get separated from you in a crowded store.

• Avoid shopping alone. • Trust your instincts. If you feel something is

wrong, or suspicious, take action—move or ask for assis-tance.

• Stand tall and display confidence. Walk with purpose, scan the area around you and make eye contact with others.

• Be alert at all times, especially when leaving businesses. • Park close to the store in well-lit spaces. • Have your keys in hand before returning to your vehicle. • As you approach the car, check to see if anyone is hiding

underneath, next to, or inside. If you are concerned for any reason, simply walk past your car and call for help.

• Lock the car when you get in and keep windows closed. Do not linger in the parking lot in your car. Get in and leave.

• Be aware of suspicious people and vehicles. Don’t wear earphones and an i-Pod while shopping or going to your car!

• Keep a eye on your purse. Hold your purse close to your body or use a front pocket if carrying a wallet.

• Keep your cell phone in your pocket instead of your purse. If you do happen to be a victim of a robbery and they do get your purse, you can still immediately call the police.

• Do not flash large amounts of money when making pur-chases—be discreet. Use checks or credit cards instead of cash.

• Use credit cards safely. Keep your receipts, guard your PIN numbers, record your credit card numbers at home (make copies of credit cards, front and back, to have information in case you need to call the companies to report a loss), and be aware of identify theft. Reconcile your statements.

• Hide packages. Put packages in the trunk of your car. If your vehicle does not have a trunk, such as a minivan or SUV, bring a blanket to cover up your purchases. If you need to continue shopping, consider moving your vehicle after putting your packages in the back in case someone has been watching you. Thieves will see you put packages in your car and walk away, knowing that there is something to take, and you will not likely be back for awhile.

• Report any suspicious activity or person(s) to the Fairfax County Police at (703) 691-2131. For more information about these and other personal safety tips, go to http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/police.

Most malls have security personnel that will escort you to your vehicle upon request. Be alert, and be safe!

Going on Vacation? Don’t Let Everyone Know

When you go away to visit the relatives for the holidays, or for that ski trip, the same common sense rules apply as for when you take a summer vacation, and a few more. ⇒ Make is seem like you are home by using light tim-

ers. ⇒ Have a neighbor pick up your mail and newspapers,

or issue a vacation stop for them. ⇒ Ask a trusted neighbor to check your house daily—

give them a contact number in case of an emergency. ⇒ Do not leave empty boxes of gifts at the curb

(computer, TVs, etc.) to notify potential thieves. Put them curbside after you’ve returned from your vaca-tion or better yet, cut them up and put in the recycling bin.

⇒ Do not put your house number on your key chain or your luggage.

⇒ Be observant and report suspicious people or happen-ings to the Fairfax County Police Department non-emergency number at (703) 691-2131.

⇒ Contact the Fairfax County Police at the Fair Oaks Station for a free home security inspection at (703) 591-0966.

Winter Check List By performing preventive maintenance on an on-going basis, you'll avoid expensive repairs and protect the in-vestment you’ve made in your home.

Here are monthly and fall/winter maintenance checklists:

Monthly Test your smoke alarm & carbon monoxide detectors.

Check the filters on your heating and cooling sys-tems. Be sure to clean and change according to the manufacturer's schedule.

If you have a humidifier or an electronic air filter, check these as well.

Check faucets for drips. Check plumbing for leaks.

Fall/Winter

Test your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detec-tors. Change their batteries twice a year.

Have your furnace/heating system serviced by a qualified service company.

If you have electric base-board heaters, vacuum them

to remove dust.

Remove the grills on forced air systems and vacuum inside the ducts.

If you use a portable humidifier, it's time to clean it.

Make sure all doors to the outside shut tightly. Re-new weather stripping as required.

Check your chimney for obstructions, such as bird's nests. If you have a wood-burning fireplace make sure to have it cleaned by a reputable chimney sweep at least annually (perhaps more frequently if you burn a lot of wood in one season).

Clean gutters and test downspouts to ensure proper drainage from the roof.

Turn off the water supply to outdoor hose faucets and drain. Drain and store outdoor hoses.

Protect young trees and bushes for cold winter winds and put down mulch to winterize gardens.

Store/cover outdoor furniture and grill.
