via email from Tom Loach – (bolding mine)

I received the following from the police Department describing a crime problem in Crozet. Jim Crosby and I have been working to establish what we call the Crozet Safety Corps and will be having a meeting at the fire house Monday, June 10th at 7:30. At that meeting will be Officer Andy Gluba, who is a Crime Prevention Officer and will speak on the subject of setting up Community Safety Groups in Crozet. Our group will also be looking at the subject of Emergency Preparedness. We have set up a web site: www.crozetsafetycorps.org. I hope any members of the community who are interested in joining us or would just like to hear from our police department will attend?.

?I wanted to let you know that the Crozet area has been experiencing a rash of vehicle break-ins over the past three and half weeks specifically in the Wickham Pond/Old Trail area. We have also experienced a rash of vehicle break-ins in the Ivy Road area specifically in the Canterbury Road area. It does not appear that the vehicle break-ins in the Ivy area are related to the Crozet area break-ins. I want to reassure you that we are aware of the problems and have dedicated the resources to hopefully apprehend the offenders.?

?Please communicate with your neighbors and friends that live in these area, to lock their car doors and secure all valuables before they go in for the night. The suspect(s) appear to be entering vehicles that have been left unlocked and have small amounts of cash and electronics left in the vehicles. Please let everyone know to be diligent in calling the police department should they see anyone in the neighborhoods late at night that should not be there. It appears that the suspect(s) are roaming the neighborhoods after midnight to about 5:00 a.m. in the mornings.?

?Thank you for getting this information out to your community members.?

??Lieutenant Greg Jenkins?Blue Ridge District Commander

We seem to get rashes of break-ins every once in a while. Dammit.

Hey, Crozet. It might snow. Perhaps more than 2 inches.

We have proven before that we look out for each other. Let’s plan to look out for our neighbors again, shall we?

And if it does not snow, let’s plan to look out for our neighbors anyway. 🙂

From Daily Progress:

Groups ranging from the National Weather Service to AccuWeather.com and the Weather Channel predicted anywhere from 4 to 20 inches of snow to fall and blow about Central Virgina in a storm expected to begin Tuesday night and intensify early Wednesday morning.

The National Weather Service expects 8 and 16 inches of snow to fall in Charlottesville and urban Albemarle County beginning Tuesday night and continuing through Wednesday. Localities in higher elevations, such as Crozet and Afton, are expected to get 10 to 18 inches of snow, as are portions of Greene and Madison counties.

This could be the start of something big … via email:

Introducing ArtFest in the West

Knowing first-hand how valuable the arts are in educating the whole child, a small group of parents started conversations about building up this capacity in the Western-feeder pattern public schools. This effort snowballed when parents spoke to teachers and school administrators. And it was no surprise that other parents were having similar discussions–including those expressed in the RealCrozet blog.
 We put our heads together and a new event was born — ArtFest in the West. Mark your calendar for March 2, 2013 (6-10pm) at The Lodge at Old Trail. Together we’re going to make art happen in Western Albemarle! ArtFest will feature student talent in the performing, visual, and culinary arts from Elementary through High School. 

Why is ArtFest So Important? 

·      To showcase student talent so that our youth can celebrate arts in their education and maturation. 
·      To take an active role in expanding the importance of the arts in our public schools.
·      Western Albemarle County is a very talented place and the arts are a vital part of a thriving Community. Continue reading “ArtFest in the West”

Peachtree baseball registration is Tuesday, 15 January and Thursday 17 January at the Old Trail Clubhouse from 6:30pm to 9pm – or you can register online.

They are also looking for coaches – maybe 10-15 or so – to help coach the more than 400 kids who play. And, as a friend puts it: “The great thing about this league is that it is one of the few places that old Crozet and new Crozet come together regularly.”
