Good afternoon, LOWA Members,
Great News! Just today the Virginia House of Delegates voted 97-2 to pass Senate Bill 276!

Dear Members of the Association,
The House Committee met this morning to consider Senate Bill 276 as amended. The Bill passed unanimously and now goes to the full House and Senate for approval. It will then go to the Governor to be signed. Please see Channel 18 for additional information. Also, more details will be provided at the Board of Directors Meeting on Saturday, March 6, 2010.

Senate Bill 276 is revised legislation introduced by Senator Houck. If this legislation is passed by the full House, Senate and signed by the Governor, it will relieve LOWA from having to upgrade the spillway.

Sincerely, Ted Wessel, General Manager

Hello LOWA Members,

We received an email from the Orange County Public Schools new middle school project manager regarding skateboarding at the new middle school building site and vandalism last weekend. There were ramps built in areas on the campus and water added to the gas tanks of masonry saws. Along with a locked door being broke open in the building.

The sheriff's office was called and the school system has asked the sheriffs dept to increase patrol around the site on weekends.

OC Public Schools wants to do what is necessary to protect and insure the structural integrity of this project, and even more so, to protect the neighborhood youth from getting into harm's way, by making them aware.

To help secure the site, the entrance ways are chained off during non-working hours, and there are several "No Trespassing" signs posted.

Please be aware that if anyone is caught and/or identified in such criminal activity, they will be prosecuted.

Hello LOWA Members,

There is a phone scam going on in this area, semmingly targeting seniors.

Please read the scenario below....

An 85-year-old lady wanted to know how to wire money because her grandson had called to say that he was in jail and needed $3000 for bail. He said that the bail bondsman would call her at 4 p.m. A quick call to her grandson's cell phone determined that he was in his college classroom, not in jail.

We called the State police and the trooper said that was an active scam in our area. At 4 p.m. the bail bondsman called and ask for the number on the wire she was to send.

As instructed by the trooper she told the man that she was aware of what he was up to and not to call again.

We have no idea how this man got her number or that she has a grandson as she does not have a computer.

Members, please be aware and double check on items when someone calls claiming to be someone they are not. Call the Virginia State Troopers and let them know about the phone call you received.

Melanie Parmelee, Communications Coordinator, LOWA, Inc.
