October Letter to SCPA Membership

Dear SCPA Members,
The 2020 new reality of Coronavirus in our community has tapped SCPA’s ability to reinvent itself in a virtual format. The result has been an expanded viewership on both Zoom and Facebook Live. It has brought us new members who are anxious to help solve the many problems before us.

We found our way into virtuality with our favorite format, a panel of outstanding experts on each subject, followed by a Q&A. This began with a conversation to ascertain the safety and well being of our membership and followers. Speakers helped us navigate the agencies and services available during:

  • May 7: Coping with Covid; Then, we presented compelling, hot topics of the day
  • July 2: Your Mail. Your Vote. Your Voice (as we watched our postal system being sabotaged just when the pandemic necessitated mail-in Primary voting).
  • August 6: The Color of Injustice; Being Black in America (as communities erupted into protest after witnessing the reality that vestiges of pre-Civil War mentality persist in the police departments that violently devalue Black lives).
  • Sept. 10: The Perversion of Truth, Media and Democracy (when truth and science are needed to make smart election choices but are lambasted as “fake news”; and journalists are attacked for seeking answers).
  • Oct. 1: At The Edge of Authoritarianism in America (as our system of peaceful elections are under attack through voter suppression and intimidation).
  • Sept. 16: Our acting president, Raed Alshaibi, initiated an urgent, live conversation in Melbourne Auditorium, open to Zoom and Facebook viewers: Law and Leaders Summit: a productive and enthusiastic dialogue between Chiefs of Police and community leaders and elected officials.

The first week of November will most certainly be an unsettling time as we wait for election results. SCPA will NOT hold its First Thursday event while the dust settles. Until then, we will be implementing our Action Items that you hear so much about. Join us!

We will be participating in demonstrations, working for candidates in this most crucial election,
writing letters, calling our Congresspersons. Join us!

And please let us know in what direction you wish to see SCPA go next. We look forward to your comments and participation on committees. Sign up on SCPAflorida.com.

Today we remember and honor the victims and heroes of 9/11.

🔍 What’s a Conventional Septic System? And how it Pollutes? An underground wastewater treatment system designed for sanitary protection, commonly used in areas with no centralized sewer system. It consists of a septic tank and a drain field. How it works:

1. Wastewater Collection: Waste flows into the septic tank.
2. Separation In the Tank: Solids settle to the bottom and form sludge, oils and grease float to the top as scum. The middle layer of relatively clear, polluted water flows to the drain field.
3. Drain Field: Wastewater is partially purified by soil and microbes as it flows into groundwater or surface waters.

🌿 How it Pollutes the Indian River Lagoon: Conventional systems are 10-40% effective, at best, in eliminating algae-feeding pollution. The polluted water flows through Brevard’s sandy soil polluting the Lagoon. Here’s how:

1. Brevard’s Polluting Systems: Our 53,000+ conventional septic systems (many poorly maintained) are the third largest source of nitrogen pollution to the Lagoon. Combined, they leak some 400,000 lbs. of nitrogen pollution annually helping to produce algae blooms.
2. Watch for Our Sept. 17th Post “Replacing Our Septics”: Check out the Save Our Indian River Lagoon (SOIRL) grant programs for septic-to-sewer connections at brevardfl.gov/SaveOurLagoon/SewerProjects and system upgrades at brevardfl.gov/SaveOurLagoon/SepticSystemUpgrades.

It takes each of us; it takes all of us, it takes you to restore our Lagoon. 🌿💧

Just don’t let him back in the white house!!!

Perfect suit for him.

He's having cognitive decline. To old for the President . Time he passes the torch to a younger person. Biden stepped down now time for Trump to do the same. We can't help getting old just a fact of life. Better to step down with dignity.
