For years, fat has been the bogeyman of bad health. Increasingly,

and fatty foods contain chemicals called essential fatty acids, which
our bodies need for good health. How do you know the difference
between good fats and bad fats? Listen to Dr. Smith!

NEW SCAM IN THE ‘HOOD
From: Jessica Lerner <jessicalerner@mac.com>
Here's an apparent scam I fell victim to last Wednesday morning in our
neighborhood. I parked my car on Wisconsin Avenue just south of
Brandywine (across from the CVS) and ran into the drugstore with my
one-year-old to grab a prescription. When I return I notice my front
right tire is completely flat. Strange because I hadn't hit any curbs
or bumps recently and the tires are fairly new. Of course, I'm in a
rush to pick up one of my daughters at school and am not a proficient
tire-changer. Luckily, a good samaritan walks up, says he noticed the
flat tire and would be happy to put on my spare for me. He says he's
just stepped off the bus and is on his way to work at Whole Foods. I
let him change the tire for me, thank him profusely and offer him ten
bucks for his time, which he is happy to accept. Later, when I bring
the tire to a mechanic, I'm told that the tire is fine -- and that the
valve has been opened to let the air out. Meanwhile, I've cased Whole
Foods and my good samaritan is nowhere to be found.
 
 
 
 
 

CRIMES OF INTEREST

**** From: Jeffrey Moore <JAMOORE@mpdc.org>
There have been three robberies of commercial establishments in the past
few days that involve the same subject and the same method of operation.
The lookout for the suspect is a white male in his 20s, 509, med build,
slight beard. The first day he was wearing a red baseball cap, the
second day he was wearing a tan baseball cap. During one of the
robberies, he was described as having a southern accent.

Two of these offenses occurred on Monday, Oct 20. The first was at the
Post Office, located at 5636 Conn Ave, at approx 4:40 p.m.. He entered
the Post Office and passed a note to the clerk demanding money. In this
offense, he obtained nothing. The second robbery occurred a few minutes
later at the Safeway located at 5545 Conn Ave, at approx 4:30 p.m. Here,
similar to the Post Office, he passed a note to a clerk and demanded
money. He obtained a Metro flash pass, but no cash.

The next day, on Tuesday, Oct 21, the same subject is suspected of
robbing the Bank of America, located at 3401 Conn Ave. Again, he passed
a note to the teller demanding money and fled. In this offenses, he
obtained an undetermined amount of cash.

Anyone having information about these robberies is encouraged to contact
the Second District Detectives office on 282-0043.

This week my Yuma Street neighbor's house was illegally entered by a
person who found a hidden key to unlock the door. The person then put the
chain lock on the door and when the owner came home early, she knew
immediately that the person was in her house. Recently many houses have
been
broken into in our 'hood. People should be very careful about hiding
keys to
their houses. They usually aren't that hard to find.

On Wednesday, Oct 8, there were residential burglaries in the 4000 block
of Veasey, 4500 block of Yuma, and 4400 block of Warren Streets.
On Tuesday, Oct 14, there were residential burglaries in the 4300 and
4600 blocks of Yuma Streets.
On Wednesday, October 15, there were residential burglaries at 4500
block of Albemarle and 4300 block of Brandywine Streets.
These events are linked by method of entry (side or rear window); time
of day (day time, while resident is away); type of property stolen
(coins, money, some jewelry, 2 laptops); and the fact that the suspect
steals a pillow case to carry away these items away.
Since October 8, all Second District tactical patrol units (both uniform

donations or for people to subscribe to magazines. I would suggest that
you call 311 in regards to this (when calling, please provide a specific

A NEW SCHOOL ?

**** From: Richard L. Paul <rlpaulproductions@starpower.net>
It recently came to my attention that there is a school in the church
that's between
Yuma and Alton.

When did this building become a DC Public School? I don't recall there ever
being an announcement that this building was going to be a school.
I think of the reaction that I saw on Chesapeake Street back a few years ago
when it was thought that the Jewish Primary Day School might move into the
neighborhood. There were lawn signs about keeping the school out of the
neighborhood. There were letters to the editor of the Northwest Current and
the Post. I can imagine there was lobbying by the neighbors of the council
and the mayor and the school board.

Did all this happen on Alton Place and I just missed it? Can someone fill
me in?
Confused, Richard Paul
.....................
**** From: Erik S. Gaull <egaull@starpower.net>
It may be that there is a Special Ed program operating out of the church.
That would be my guess. DCPS [school bus that was observed] only
transports kids in the Special Ed program, so it would make sense.

FURNITURE DONATION FOR SOLDIERS IN NEED
If you are interested in donating furniture for a good cause, Walter Reed
Army Medical Center has a program called "Pass it On" where the Army
connects citizens who want to donate furniture with soldiers who need
furniture for off-base apartments. The barracks at WRAMC recently closed
and many soldiers were faced with the challenge of obtaining furniture for
their apartments. The items most in need are couches, beds, chairs, tables,
and sofas. I don't believe clothing or appliances are accepted. I recently
donated a sofabed and the same day that I spoke to Sandra Jean at Walter
Reed, I had three messages on my machine from interested soldiers. My sofa
was picked up the next week. It's a nice thing to do and your donation is
tax deductable. Sandra Jean at Walter Reed's Army Community Services
coordinates the program. Her phone number is 202-782-3415.

Hi, Gang. David Rowan here. I have just returned to Tenleytown

If there's anyone out there who sort of runs things, I'd like to know
if there are any research projects or whatever to which I might
contribute some work. I like doing research, and I like just, you
know, wandering around. That's how I got interested in the first
place. I'm energetic enough to contribute, but I haven't quite the
energy to actually initiate a project, if that is what the gentle
reader (i.e. you) is about to suggest. But, again, I am interested
in getting involved in anything already underway. Anyone know of
anything? Excuse any typos here. Blame the keyboard on computer

WHATS NEW IN THE MPD
EXCERPTS FROM: Crimereports.com <reports@crimereports.com>

*********************************************
KEEPING “TRICK-OR-TREATERS” SAFE THIS HALLOWEEN
*********************************************
The warning may sound familiar to experienced “trick-or-treaters” and
their parents. But with Halloween just two weeks away, it’s still a good
idea to review important safety tips for young people and families.
Again this year, the MPDC encourages residents to follow some basic
precautions. In selecting costumes, bright, reflective and
flame-retardant materials are a must, as are comfortable, well fitting
shoes. Face paints are encouraged instead of masks. Pedestrian safety is
another critical concern. Trick-or-treaters are reminded to stay on the
sidewalk and to cross only at the corner (not between cars). And
motorists are encouraged to slow down and be on the lookout for
children. In the area of general safety precautions, residents are
encouraged to turn on exterior lights and clean up any debris near their
property that children could trip on. And, of course, youngsters should
never go into peoples’ homes, talk to or accept rides from strangers, or
eat any goodies before their parents have a chance to inspect them at
home. Finally, many police districts, community groups, business
associations and others host Halloween parties. Parents should consider
these as a safe alternative to door-to-door "trick-or-treating" for
their children. A comprehensive list of Halloween safety tips and
resources is available at:
http://mpdc.dc.gov/info/season/halloweensafety.shtm

FOOTNOTE: Any “stranger-danger” threats to children – on Halloween or
any other time of the year – should be reported immediately to the
police by calling 9-1-1. Suspicious candy or other non-emergency
situations should be reported through the MPDC’s 3-1-1 non-emergency number.
 

*********************************************
PHOTO RADAR PROGRAM HITS NEW MILESTONE:
FEWER THAN 7 PERCENT OF MOTORISTS ARE SPEEDING AGGRESSIVELY
*********************************************
For the first time since the program began in the summer of 2001, fewer
than 7 percent of all motorists monitored by the MPDC’s Photo Radar
Speeding Reduction Program were found to be speeding aggressively in
September. Of the nearly 888,000 vehicles monitored by photo radar last
month, only 60,000 were found to be traveling at or above the threshold
speed established for the program. That represents just 6.8 percent of
all motorists – the lowest monthly percentage of aggressive speeders
since the program began in July 2001. That month, which was an initial
“warning period,” close to 31 percent of all motorists were found to be
speeding above the program’s threshold. (The MPDC does not ticket
motorists traveling only a few miles per hour above the posted speed
limit, but rather has a threshold above the posted limit at which
drivers are ticketed.) The percentage of aggressive speeders was 21
percent in September 2001 and 8 percent in September 2002. Average
speeds of all vehicles traveling through photo radar enforcement zones
are also down substantially over the past 26 months. To date, nearly
675,000 photo radar citations have been issued and more than 478,000
have been paid, resulting in $35.7 million in fines collected. This
level of consistent speed enforcement has been achieved without having
to pull uniformed officers from neighborhood patrols. Read the latest
photo radar results at:
http://mpdc.dc.gov/info/traffic/speedresults_text.shtm

FOOTNOTE: Now in its fourth year, the MPDC’s traffic safety cameras have
produced a 60.5 percent reduction in red-light running violations at the
39 intersections equipped with cameras. Details at:
http://mpdc.dc.gov/info/traffic/redlight.shtm
