Compared to past annual meetings, there was good attendance at this year’s Montclair Annual Meeting. It was a very positive group. Attendees heard from all Board Members and Committee chairs in attendance. During open session there were questions about the Budget, and other items. I believe all questions were adequately answered. But if not, as often said, feel free to call any Board Member (the numbers are on page 2). Voting was finalized and the results were provided in the April Montclairion.

For the third year, I was asked to accept Montclair’s HOA presidency. I again accepted with pride. Thank you for your trust, and thanks to the 2014 Board for accepting their positions and providing their voluntary services to Montclair.

Spring is here and you are out doing your part in making Montclair’s spring magnificent. Your dedication to keeping your property, a major investment, in compliance with Montclair’s covenants is greatly appreciated. You recognize through your obvious work that all of your property contributes to the value of your investment, and significantly contributes to the beauty of Montclair. Remember your back yard, in most cases, is one of your neighbor’s primary view.

As you and I and many others drive Waterway, we have an opportunity to view all of the back yards fronting Montclair’s boulevard. A big thank you to those Waterway property owners that work so diligently upholding Montclair’s standards and keeping their backyards so attractive.

From my deck, I get to appreciate 15 very well maintained backyards. Thanks particularly to Ferlynn and Samantha. Observers of your backyard often stop to take pictures.

As our staff inspectors do their jobs in their well-marked MPOA shirts, they do get attention. And yes, we (you and I) sometimes get notifications of covenant deficiencies. Please remember they are doing their jobs, the jobs we hired them to do. The inspection process is a major contribution in maintaining Montclair’s overall objective of continuing to preserve your home investment and keeping Montclair one of the most desireable places to call home in Northern Virginia.

Thank you for your pride in Montclair.

Second Amendment Update: Changes to Enforcement ProceduresAt the April 9, 2014 Board of Directors meeting a motion was made and approved to amend Community Guidelines, Section 5.9, Enforcement Procedures. These guideline changes, as found on page 9, are reinstating the practices and procedures that were in place in Montclair prior to March 2013 (one year ago) when the authority to enforce covenant violations by levying charges was called into question by a Virginia Supreme Court opinion that such authority must specifically be contained in a Virginia HOAs governing documents. As a result of Montclair’s 2014 Annual Meeting’s membership vote to approve the 2nd Amendment to the Deed, Montclair’s governing documents are now specific in conveying authority to levy charges for covenant violations and the prior year practices have been re-instated in the Guidelines with the Board’s April 2014 approval. See the April 2013 Montclairion at http://bit.ly/1eGn105 for futher background.

Not Ready for a Full Triathlon? Then a Relay is Perfect for You!If you are curious about triathlon and wonder how it all works with completing 3 sport disciplines with those transitions in between, putting together a relay team is the perfect way to “tri” the sport out without a full commitment. You say you’re too busy to train for a triathlon because you can’t get in all of the swim, bike and run workouts? Don’t think you are a strong enough swimmer to finish the swim portion or has it been years since you’ve balanced up on a bike? That’s perfectly alright! That’s what the triathlon relay is for.

For the relay, each person commits to one of the disciplines and completes that leg of the race. Transition occurs in the same area as the other triathletes except you’ll have someone waiting for you to hand your timing chip off to and you’ll be able to sit back and relax while

your teammates finish their portion of the course.

Triathlon relays are also a great way to share your triathlon experience with friends and family members. I’ve seen a 3 generation relay team compete and it was so much fun for the 3 of them to accomplish the triathlon together. Relay teams compete on the same course at the same time as the regular triathletes and each member of your team receives a t-shirt and finishers medal. It’s a great bonding experience amongst friends, too.

The Montclair Triathlon is the perfect venue for you to try out a triathlon with your friends or family members. Relay teams can be mixed gender and mixed ages. Be warned: Often times being a part of a triathlon relay leads to

you wanting to do the whole deal yourself next time!

Tava Jo FosterMember, Triathlon Ad-Hoc Committee

Montclair residents Dusty McKinnon & Tava Foster compete with their friend Traci Marin as a relay team at the Patriot Half-Iron distance triathlon in Williamsburg in 2013.

Staging a successful triathlon takes more than just a race company and athletes. Many volunteers are needed during the days leading up to the event and on the day of the event itself. Without volunteers, events like this would not be possible.

If you are unable to participate in the triathlon, you can help by being a volunteer. Each volunteer will be given a t-shirt to wear on race day and you will be rewarded with the knowledge that you held an important role in making the day successful.

The Montclair Triathlon needs people to volunteer on the race course. This position requires you to stand at a particular point on the bike/run course, help direct racers and make sure spectators stay off the course. You must be at least 18 for this position. There will be many policemen stationed on the course and we need at least one volunteer to stand with each policeman.

If physical labor is up your alley, assistance with setup and tear down is needed. Setup will take place on Saturday evening and tear down

will happen immediately after the race.

Other areas that require volunteers are: registration, body marking, lifeguard (must be certified), canoe and paddlers, aid station volunteers, swim course exit support, medical tent volunteers (nurse, PA, doctor, EMT), food tent, at the transition areas, refueling stops, and at the finish line. We also need people at the entrance of Dolphin Beach to help direct athletes and spectators on where to go.

A final way you can help with this race is to get out and cheer! The majority of the race will take place up and down Waterway Drive. Come out that morning and cheer on your neighbors, friends, family and community members. Help us showcase our community as one that comes together and is a great place to live! Create a fun sign for the athletes to read as they huff and puff through the course. This helps distract them and encourage them.

Triathlons are not just for triathletes. There is a little something for everyone! If you are interested in helping out, please email Tava Foster at [email protected] or check the website www.montclairtri.com and click the volunteer link.

Neighbor to NeighborThere are two reasons that I write this to you. One, to make waterfront property owners aware of continued thefts from properties and get you to think about what we could do. Two, to see if you have any information which may help in finding my stolen boat and perhaps the thieves.

My 10 foot unpainted aluminum Jon boat was taken from my son’s waterfront lot on Montclair Point after the last ice-out in early March. What can we learn from this theft and could it happen to you? Greater awareness and increased security is needed. It is clear to me that thieves used a boat, that more than one person was involved, and that my boat was slipped from shore into the lake. On the lake the stolen boat was either towed or paddled to a location where it was used or taken ashore for vehicle transport away. A search of all boat racks, Lake Montclair and Powells Creek was completed. The small Jon boat was not found as of this writing. It may be used in the future

and then set adrift. The boat has Montclair 2014 stickers and state registration sticker VA2134AZ. On the stern are painted HI-HO and 3 fish shapes. Please call me if you find the boat or have any relevant information.

Can this happen to you? Increase awareness and watch for suspicious activity near your dock and waterfront. Small boats such as canoes, kayaks, paddleboats, and Jon boats will continue to be targets. As in my case, thefts will involve a boat and more than one person. Removal from the lake will require loading on a vehicle (such as a pickup) at an accessible lakeside point of land. Identification of thieves through cameras and rewards offered could lead to prosecution. Word would get out and this could reduce incidents.

Fred Farber15527 Golf Club Drive(703) 680-7901

Editor’s Note: If you witness suspicious activity, contact the Prince William County Police Department. Emergencies and crimes in progress can be reported by dialing 911, while non-emergencies can be reported at (703) 792-6500.

Get Your 2014-15 Recreation TagsWith summer almost here and the long winter behind us, lots of activity is beginning here in Montclair: the school year is ending, beaches are open, and the events season is in full swing. There are lots of great opportunities to pass time with friends and family in the neighborhood, but first you need your recreation tags.

Recreation tags, or “beach tags”, are passes that residents can obtain in order to access Dolphin

Beach, West Beach, Beaver Landing Beach, Kid’s Dominion, and community events. Recreation tags are required to access these common areas and recreation guards will be on-duty from Memorial Day through Labor Day to ensure those visiting have their passes.Beginning in May, recreation tags will be available at the MPOA office to those showing proof of payment of the May assessment. Those applying for tags must complete the Recreation Tag Application. Identification listing a current address in Montclair is required for anyone over the age of 18 applying for tags. Tenants must provide a copy of their current lease agreement or utility bill. There are two types of recreation tags: unrestricted tags and restricted tags. Unrestricted tags are assigned to residents ages 12 and older. These tags allow access without supervision to facilities and guest access to facilities (4 guests per tag daily, 2 guests per tag at events).

Restricted tags are assigned to residents ages 9-11. These tags allow access to facilities only when supervised by a resident 16 or older with an unrestricted tag. Guests are not permitted on restricted tags.

Recreation tags may be obtained during normal business hours, Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. and Wednesdays until 8 p.m.

Once you have received your recreation tags, be sure to keep track of their location as replacement tags are $25 per tag. If you do misplace your tags, contact our office at (703) 670-6187. Often the recreation guards will find dropped tags on the beach or in the parking lot, and those are placed in the office’s lost and found.

New Procedures - Picnic Area ReservationsThe dates provided for the reservation of picnic areas in the April Montclairion were incorrect. The dates provided in the following article have been corrected.

At the July 10, 2013 meeting, the Board of Directors approved changes to Article 4.4.1 of the Community Guidelines regarding reservation of picnic areas. This amendment changed the manner in which reservations are made. In years past, submittal of reservations began two Saturdays before the beginning of beach season, with the MPOA open on Saturday morning to accept reservations. This Saturday opening will no longer be observed, and instead residents will submit their reservations based on the group or type of event being held.

30 Days Prior to Beach Opening - April 25Reservations accepted for use by Members, their families and informal groups comprised primarily of Montclair residents. If you are hosting a birthday party, family get-together, or other informal gathering with mostly Montclair residents, you can submit your picnic area reservation beginning on this date.

21 Days Prior to Beach Opening -May 5Reservations accepted for use by Non-profit organizations based in Montclair and public schools serving the Montclair community. If you are reserving a picnic area for a school group or local club of Montclair, reservations will be permitted starting on this date.

14 Days Prior to Beach Opening - May 12Reservations accepted for use by Non-profit, social and informal organizations not based in Montclair (e.g. church groups). If you are reserving a picnic area for a school group or local club outside of Montclair, reservations will be permitted starting this date. Please note that while the group may be based outside of Montclair, the person making the reservation must be a resident of Montclair.

Reservations for For-profit organizations must be reviewed by the Board of Directors. These requests will be reviewed by the Board at the meeting proceeding the requested date and no earlier than the June meeting.

The MPOA office will begin accepting picnic area reservations on Friday, April 25 for all applicable groups, and will accept reservations through the end of the beach season or until

all dates are booked. To accommodate as many reservations as possible, this amendment additionally limited the amount of active reservations per household to one. That is, if you are reserving a picnic area in June and wish to reserve another date in August, you will need to wait until after the June date has passed to make the August reservation.

The required documents for submitting a picnic area reservation remain the same. You will need to submit:• Picnic Area Reservation form, available

on our website or at the MPOA office• Copy of the Declaration Page of the

Homeowners/Tenants Insurance Policy• Guest list must be submitted no later than

four working days prior to the scheduled reservation.

All reservation requests and documentation must be submitted to the MPOA office a minimum of four working days in advance of the desired date.

If you have any questions about these changes or reserving a picnic area this summer, please contact our office at (703) 670-6187.

Did you know that the PWC Animal Shelter on Bristow Road, just off 234, has many types of animals available for adoption? Check out this Teddy Ruxpin-like Pomeranian called Mason. He is an adorable dog who is very low maintenance, loves to be held but does have health issues and will probably lose all of his teeth and then be on a special diet. He was adopted shortly after I took this picture.

Did you know that there is a veterinarian on staff three days a week who checks the pets that come in during working hours and is on call for consultation the rest of the time? Did you know that they have rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, snakes and turtles in addition to the dogs and cats up for adoption? Did you know that they have a Wounded Buddies program where the dog and service personnel are matched and dogs are trained to be service dogs for them? Did you know there is a foster program for dogs and kittens and there is such thing as kitten “season?” The preference for the kittens is to be placed in a home for the first eight weeks rather than the shelter. Did you know there was a senior program for adopting older animals? Did you know the dog park is right next to the shelter?

The shelter has one room for cats, a room for other than cats (birds, etc.) and a huge room for the dogs as well as a quarantined area for the newly arriving pets that are eventually placed with the rest of the adoptees after a few weeks.

Events are sponsored during the year with various partners that set up adoption of the animals. Minnieville Animal Hospital in conjunction with the PWC Humane Society recently hosted an event. They provided Micro Chipping, Rabies shots, Dog Baths and Nail Trims at a very nominal price. Pets from the shelter were available for adoption at these events.

Prince William County Animal Shelter has a new microchip program. Each pet adopted from the shelter will receive a complimentary microchip. Strays that enter the shelter system and are redeemed by their families will also receive microchips before departing. The benefit to the microchip includes lost pet “Amber Alerts” that can be instantly sent to broadcast the alert, with all the pet’s details, via email, phone and fax to all the shelters and rescue organizations in a 50-mile radius of the pet’s last known location. The chip has a 24/7 free live support feature that owners can call for any lost/found pet situations or questions.

If you wish to adopt a pet, you must have a police background check and pay to have the pet spayed or neutered. The Wounded Buddies and Senior program have reduced costs to adopt.

They are always looking for volunteers, Adults, Teenagers, and Fostering. There is twenty hours of hands-on training required and is typically held in three hour sessions. Some

of the duties are to exercise and socialize

the dogs, taking them outside for walks and

observing their behavior and health. Yes, they

do have clean-up duty too. They are always in

need of Karunda beds for the dogs to keep the

dogs off the cold floor and more comfortable

at the shelter.

Family is everything... It can define who you are. It can reveal and support strengths and passions. It can create intuitive bonds through shared experiences. It can drive you crazy, but it always brings you home. And it’s at the absolute core of The Doyle Brothers.

Having been lovingly described as “young guys doing old songs in a new way”, the duo of Todd Doyle (Box, Vox) and Ryan Jacob Doyle (Vox, Axe) stem from a rich musical heritage (older brothers David and Brad Doyle are also musicians, while their parents, music teacher Tom and artist Cindy Doyle, married shortly after performing together in a 70’s folk group) that was inescapable. During their formative years, the boys’ household was constantly filled with audio influences, whether coming from individuals’ record or tape collections, pop radio stations, live rehearsals, or just fooling around singing. The vocalizing may have come naturally, but it wasn’t until the lads were in their mid to late teens that their efforts

to play in a group came to fruition with the band More Than Me.

Their 10-plus year tenure in that outfit saw them win the 2010 Hard Rock Battle of the Bands, clinching the opportunity to share the Main Stage of the Hard Rock Calling Festival with Sir Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello, Crosby Stills & Nash, Crowded House, Stevie Wonder, Pearl Jam, Ben Harper & Relentless 7, Jamiroquai, The Hives, James Morrison, Corinne Bailey Rae, The Gaslight Anthem, Joshua Radin, Mary Mary, and Robert Francis. They’ve also opened for Brett Michaels, The Black Eyed Peas, De La Soul, The Gin Blossoms and Boys Like Girls.

As the duo, along with playing steady gigs around NYC, touring the country in the college circuit, and occasionally performing in their hometown of Buffalo, NY, Todd and Ryan have been proud to have hosted several charity events, including “Songs and

Sundaes” with Anderson’s Frozen Custard and Children’s Hospital, a summer concert series where all proceeds from Doyle Brothers’ CDs and “Have A Heart” sundaes sold at all local locations went directly to the hospital.

As evident on their previous album releases, “Take Two” and “Two Bros, One Box,” the guys’ sound is appealing to all age groups due to the timeless nature of their song selections. Their live shows have seen the youngest toddlers dancing around with the most seasoned elders grooving along to tunes that are as familiar as they are timely. Along with the uncommon and tight arrangements, the experience is enhanced by the good natured report that the siblings share both on and off stage. It’s a connection that has been developed and nurtured their entire lives.

It’s the kind of thing that can only come from being family.

Boy ScoutsTroop 35By James G. Haskett, Troop ScribeApril was another busy month for Troop 35. It started with the annual Parent-Son Campout, which was held at Pohick Bay Regional Park this year from April 4 to 6. This was a great opportunity to build the troop’s overall skills, advance younger Scouts in rank, and teach new Scouts camping skills. Afterwards, the Scouts were looking forward to the start of Spring Break. This was a great time to take a break from school, and many scouts took advantage of the time to work on advancements. After Spring Break, the troop was refreshed and ready to go. The Philmont crew rounded out the month with a good 10.5 miles of hiking at Signal Knob from April 26 to 27.

The Parent-Son Campout was the first troop camping for our new Scouts of the Clever Fox Patrol. They learned how to start a campfire and how to safely handle a camp axe, a saw and a pocket knife while earning their first awards the “Totin Chip” and “Firem’n Chit.” They cooked their own food and slept in tents that they put up themselves. Under the watchful eye of their Troop Guides, they were immersed in what it means to be a Boy Scout,

learned a lot about camping, and had a ton of fun. The Parent-Scout campout was also an opportunity for adults new to our troop to experience a Troop 35 campout. They spent time with other Troop 35 adults and, for a little while, did not have to worry about being in charge of their sons.

The Philmont work up hike at Signal Knob went well. Philmont Scout Ranch is the Boy Scouts of America’s largest national High Adventure Base which includes hundreds of miles of rugged, rocky trails in the New Mexico wilderness. Troop 35 was lucky enough to get space for two crews of older, more experienced Scouts to attend this summer. Attending Philmont requires a lot of preparation for the physical aspects of the adventure. The Philmont crews got to participate in its first overnight hike during which they had to cook. For most of the boys, this hike was the first hike carrying all of their personal gear. Also, some troop gear had to be spread around as portable stoves and tents were needed. The weather was nice and the Scouts had a lot of fun. Overall, the 10.5 mile hike, lead by the Scouts, was a resounding success.

Troop 35 completed another successful Mulch

Fundraiser. Troop 35 would like to thank the residents of Montclair for supporting this joint fundraiser with Troop 189. We appreciated the support that helps provide funds for our wonderful scouting activities. If you or someone you know is interested in scouting, please contact Scoutmaster Dave Legge at [email protected] or visit the troop website at www.troop35dumfries.com. A Boy Scout is always prepared. Troop 35 is prepared to welcome you.

GroupsDominion Cycling and TriathlonDominion Cycling and Triathlon kicked off their season on April 1 with a packed house at the Southlake Recreation Center. Over 30 families have their children participating in the youth triathlon team whose season runs from April through September. This also includes the 20 youth athletes that have met the qualifying requirements to be on the USAT-designated High Performance Team.

Even though the recreational season just began, members of the HP team have been busy travelling around Virginia and the United States competing in races. In March, members of the team travelled to Clermont, Florida to

News Around the Community

Page 22: The Montclairion- May 2014

compete in the Clermont Draft Legal Triathlon. The team competed with top athletes from across the country and did a fantastic job of representing Dominion and Montclair, VA. At the end of March, a large group of youth cyclists travelled to Richmond, VA for a bike race on the Richmond International Raceway. Dominion had athletes across the field from the cyclists as young as 10 and many of the athletes were top performers in their division.

With the onset of warmer temperatures, Wednesday evening group rides have resumed in Prince William Forest. We have many members preparing for the Cap to Cap ride in May as well as training for early races. One Montclair resident and team member is travelling to Florida to compete in the Ironman 70.3 Florida and others are preparing for the Virginia Triathlon Series race at the beginning of May at Lake Anna.

New members are always welcome. Please visit our website at www.dominioncyclingandtri.com and check out our team calendar. You are always welcome to join us on a ride or at an event to give us a “tri” for yourself!

shoppers to use the parking lot for their cars. This fun event was only possible thanks to the carloads of donations we received from Henderson families and the community! Extra-special thanks to our wonderful volunteers including Amy & Dave Cooper, Corrina Ross-Witkowski, Valerie Wack, Patti O’Neill, Maggie Dicus, Tiffanie Williams, Antoinette Wilson, and Jennifer Buser! Also, a million thanks to Mrs. Weathers, Henderson’s delightful Strings Teacher, who cheerfully allowed us to take over the stage that week. We’re also grateful for generous donations from Home Depot, BJ’s, Target, Walmart, Giant and Subway who covered the cost of materials for making garment racks, pricing supplies, printing, signs, lunch for our volunteers and cups for the cup sign you saw in the school’s fence. In addition, we’re so happy about our new partnership with Goodwill who picked up all the unsold items! They were awesome! As always, the proceeds from this event will help the PTCO fund new technology for Henderson’s classrooms, after-school clubs, class parties, scholarships, field trips, classroom supplies and more!

Henderson’s Renovation Begins!The exciting renovation of Henderson’s interior will begin this summer starting with the front office. This improvement will feature a new entrance requiring visitors to enter the school through the office. Then, during the 2014/2015 school year, each grade level (starting with 5th) will rotate out to four learning cottages while their classrooms are renovated. In addition, Henderson’s renewal will include all new floors and ceilings, restroom fixtures, plumbing and electrical wiring, HVAC system, emergency generator and much more! The second phase of improvements will start in the summer of 2015 and will include the addition of ten new classrooms, an “all-purpose” room and major improvements to the cafeteria’s kitchen. The intermural field off of Dyer Road is the assigned area for the construction trailers. The area will be secured so that there will not be a danger to anyone.
