BY BRIAN ENGLER
Trustee At-Large
T
hank you very much to everyone who voted
for me in my At-Large Trustee bid. I look
forward to expanding my responsibilities as
appropriate to the entire Burke Centre community
and to hearing from you and meeting you as the year
progresses.
I am very pleased that Renee Mumford will be taking
over as Landings Trustee this year, and look forward
to serving with her and all my fellow Trustees on
the Board. The local neighborhood web site that
Renee started, serving the Landings, remains very
active. Landings neighbors please check it out and
join (it’s free) https://burkecentrelandings.nextdoor.
com/. I am pleased to see that there are additional
Next Door Neighborhoods listed for the Oaks, the
Ponds, and Burke Centre Conservancy (which seems
to cover only the Woods). Residents of those BC
neighborhoods can join the appropriate one and
the site is set up such that any member can monitor
activity in nearby neighborhoods. Therefore, as
the site is expanded, I see a future for it as a useful
information-sharing tool for Trustees, Cluster Reps,
staff, and all residents.
The new Board was seated at our 2015 Annual
Meeting held March 12, and I think we all agree that
we want to hit the deck running. I want to continue
pursuing our joint goals that include: completing the
tree project and open area cleanup efforts; renewing
the look and feel of our signage and plantings to
present an even more welcoming face to potential
buyers and businesses; increasing our support of
Burke Centre businesses by expanding monthly
roundtable activities; and focusing on a number of
pedestrian safety issues that have been raised along
Burke Centre Parkway and several of our trails. I am
sure many more issues will come up during the 20152016 term, and am conﬁdent that the Board is fully
capable of handling whatever comes at us.
Other important events in March were the New
Resident Welcome on March 18 and the ARB
Standards Revision Town Hall on March 24. At this
writing, in early March, I don’t know how they turned
out, but I look forward to both. I am sure, as well, that
we enjoyed a huge turnout at the Friends of the Burke
Centre Library book sale that took place March 19-21.
Thanks to everyone who supported all these events!
As I’ve written before, there are committees and
boards within Burke Centre that could use some new
volunteer members, and not all Cluster Committees
were ﬁlled in the election just past. I am available

Thanks…and enjoy the current warming trend that, I
hope, leads to a vibrant spring and gorgeous summer!

here is a Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC)
for each of the eight Police Districts in Fairfax
County. Burke Centre Conservancy (BCC)
is associated with the West Springﬁeld (WS) Police
District CAC, which meets at 7:30 PM on the ﬁrst
Tuesday of each month, September until June, at the
West Springﬁeld Police station, 6140 Rolling Road.
As illustrated in the below capsule, reports of recent
meetings, each typically consists of a presentation
by a police activity of what they do and the district
Captain’s report of recent criminal activity. I was one
of two BCC representatives to the West Springﬁeld
CAC until I was elected two years ago as the Ponds
Neighborhood BCC Trustee. BCC Trustee work
sessions occur on the same evening as the WS CAC
meetings.
September 2014: Presentation on World Police and
Fire Games, June 26-July 5, 2015, in Fairfax County.
October 2014: Presentation on Fairfax County Ofﬁce
of Emergency Management.
November 2014: Presentation on “Cons and Scam”
particularly home improvement scams against seniors
(20% of homes have at least one).

Because BCC Trustees did
not hold a work session in
March, I was able to attend
the March 3 WS-CAC
meeting. The meeting started
off with the WS Ofﬁcer

persistence in investigating
vehicle larcenies. The
presentation was by Sgt.

e vigilant on what you say to anyone who calls
you on the phone.
Review all of the charges on your statement every
month and question any charge that you are unaware
of. Often a scammer will charge a small amount on
one of your accounts, thinking you will overlook
due to the small amount. Once you do, you will ﬁnd
larger charges in future months. If this happens to you,
PAGE 10
contact your credit card company and DEMAND they
close the account and send you a new card and new
account number.
Calls are also being made by someone pretending to
be from Microsoft (traced back to Russia) wanting
remote access to our computers to “FIX” so-called bad
ﬁles. HANG UP ON THESE PEOPLE AND DON’T
TELL THEM ANYTHING.
This is a heads up for everyone regarding the latest
in Visa/Master Card fraud. Royal Bank received
this communication about the newest scam. This is
happening in the Midwest right now and moving
across the country:
This one is pretty slick, since they provide YOU with
all the information, except the one piece they want.
NOTE: The callers do not ask for your card number,
they already have it. This information is worth
reading. By understanding how the VISA and
MasterCard telephone Credit Card Scam works,
you’ll be better prepared to protect yourself.
When you say, “No”, the caller continues with,
“Then we will be issuing a credit to your account.
This is a company we have been watching, and the
charges range from $297 to $497, just under the $500
purchase pattern that ﬂags most cards. Before your
next statement, the credit will be sent to (gives you
your (address). Is that correct?”
You say, “Yes”. The caller continues, “I will be
starting a fraud investigation. If you have any
questions, you should call the 1-800 number listed
on the back of your card (1-800-VISA) and ask
for Security. You will need to refer to this Control
Number. The caller then gives you a 6-digit number.
“Do you need me to read it again?”
Here’s the IMPORTANT part on how the scam works;
the caller then says, “I need to verify you are in
Phone Scams continued on page 21...
The SCAM works like this: The person calling
says, “This is (name) and I’m calling from the
Security and Fraud Department at VISA. My
Badge number is 12460, and your card has been
ﬂagged for an unusual purchase pattern, and I’m
calling to verify. This would be on your VISA
card which was issued by (name of bank). Did
you purchase an Anti-Telemarketing Device for
$497.00 from a marketing company based in

ave you ever
found yourself
in the following
predicament? “Joe Expert”
is expounding on a trending
topic such as the drop in gasoline prices.
Joe really doesn’t know why the price changed and
you sense there is a big “but” coming in his diatribe.
He attempts to drive home his counterpoint with
the curious two-word phrase “however comma.”
Thankfully our oil and gas expert is not in the habit of
inserting semicolons, periods or exclamation points
into his talk too.
It’s one of those weird communication habits people
seem to employ when they’re trying to make a point.
Many of us have been conditioned to think that
verbalizing punctuation will add emphasis. Linguistic
experts cannot exactly determine where this annoying
technique originated. Some hypothesize that, like
other communication viruses, it likely went airborne
deep in the recesses of the Pentagon.
What about you? Have you picked up any bad habits
in your speech delivery? Have you always wanted to
be a more concise communicator and rid yourself of
superﬂuous phrases such as “however comma” or “the

Thursdays in April: the 2nd, 16th and 30th, at the

welcome.
The club would like to welcome two of its

March 19th a success.

it rains. Even if you can’t see the water near you,
the pet waste goes into a storm drain where it travels
