Montclair is a very safe place to live. We’re lucky to have several law enforcement officers from a variety of agencies living in our midst.

Off-duty police regularly patrol our community and duty patrols are made very often.

Recently a fugitive from outside our community elected to use Montclair as an escape route. He immediately was confronted with many fences and streets that are unique in their layout, and there is Lake Montclair. With each street he traversed seeking an exit he quickly became a fugitive caught in a maze.

And he was confronted with an alert citizenry tracking his moves and keeping the police informed as to his moving location and his final hiding spot.

Prince William Police responded to this situation in force and captured this individual. They did it without injuring the fugitive and no Montclair citizens were physically harmed. Now there was a lot of adrenaline pumping and citizens alertly observing and reporting to the authorities.

Montclair’s various communication lines were also fully utilized keeping Montclair citizens very current on the search.

Thanks to the Prince William County Police and all others that brought this event to a successful conclusion.

We Montclairions have an exciting topic to discuss and to move on to enjoy our community’s fall events.

From the candy to the costumes, Halloween is a fun-filled time for kids and parents alike. But it can pose dangers to young revelers.

To help make this year’s festivity a trick-free treat, follow these simple safety tips.

Adorning Your Little Ghouls• Choose a light-colored costume because

these are easily seen at night. Add reflective tape or glow-in-the-dark tape to the front and back of the costume and to the trick-or-treat bag.

• Only buy a costume that is labeled “flame-retardant.” This means the material won’t burn. If you are making your own costume, use nylon or polyester materials, which are flame-retardant.

• Make sure wigs and beards don’t cover your kids’ eyes, noses or mouths.

• Kids shouldn’t wear masks - they can make it difficult for them to see and breathe. Instead, use non-toxic face paint or makeup. Have younger kids draw pictures of what they

want to look like. Older kids will have fun putting the makeup on themselves. Test the face paint or makeup on your child’s arm or hand before applying to make sure the paint doesn’t irritate the skin.

• Avoid colored or decorative contact lenses, unless they have been prescribed by an eye doctor for your child.

• Put a nametag - with your phone number - on your children’s costumes.

• Avoid oversized and high-heeled shoes that could cause kids to trip. Make sure the rest of the costume fits well, too, which can help prevent trips and falls.

• Make sure that any props your kids carry, such as wands or swords, are short and flexible.

Pumpkin Carving Precautions• Don’t let kids use knives. Have them draw

their designs on the pumpkin with a black marker - then you or an older sibling can do the carving.

• Keep kids at a safe distance while you’re carving the pumpkin so that they don’t distract you or get in the way of sharp objects.

• Remove pumpkin guts safely. If your children beg to remove the guts of the pumpkin - as many kids do - don’t hand over a knife to do it. Instead, let your little ones get messy by scooping out pumpkin flesh with their hands or an ice cream scoop.

• Clean up the mess. Pumpkin flesh is slippery and can cause falls and injuries when dropped on the floor. Layer newspaper or old cloths under your carving workspace and clean up spills right away to prevent slips and trips.

• Skip the candles, which may cause fires. A burning candle in a pumpkin may become a blazing fire if left unattended. Instead, use a glow stick (available in many colors) or flameless candle to safely illuminate your jack-o’-lantern.

A Safe & Spooktacular Halloween

Trouble-Free Trick-or-Treating• Accompany young children (under age 12).

Make sure they know how to call 911 in case they get lost. Check to make sure they know their home phone number.

• For older kids who are trick-or-treating on their own, find out the route they’ll be taking and when they’ll be home. Also be sure that they:• carry a cell phone, if possible;• go in a group and stay together;• only go to houses with porch lights on

and walk on sidewalks on lit streets (never walk through alleys or across lawns);

• walk from house to house (never run) and always walk facing traffic when walking on roads;

• stay away from candles and other flames;• know to never go into strangers’ homes or

cars;• cross the street at crosswalks and never

assume that vehicles will stop.• Give kids flashlights with new batteries.

Kids may also enjoy wearing glow sticks as bracelets or necklaces.

• Limit trick-or-treating to your neighborhood and the homes of people you and your children know.

• When your kids get home, check all treats to make sure they’re sealed. Throw out candy with torn packages or holes in the packages, spoiled items, and any homemade treats that haven’t been made by someone you know.

• Don’t allow young children to have hard candy or gum that could cause choking.

• Make sure trick-or-treaters will be safe when visiting your home, too. Remove anything that could cause kids to trip or fall on your walkway or lawn. Make sure the lights are on outside your house and light the walkway to your door, if possible. Keep family pets away from trick-or-treaters, even if they seem harmless to you.

Gobbling Down Halloween Goodies• Offer a filling meal before your kids head out

to trick-or-treat so they won’t scarf down too much of their haul.

• Consider purchasing Halloween treats other than candy. See the article on page 17 for fun candy alternatives.

• Know how much candy your kids have collected and store it somewhere other than their bedrooms. Consider being somewhat lenient about candy eating on Halloween, within reason, and talk about how the rest of the candy will be handled. Let kids have one or two treats a day instead of leaving candy out in big bags or bowls for kids to sample at will. Consider giving some of the treats away.

Take these quick and easy precautions to help your little ghosts and goblins have a hauntingly happy and safe Halloween.

What a summer to remember for the Dumfries/Triangle/Quantico Little League Senior All Star team. The Senior All Stars are 15 to 17 year olds; many live in Montclair and go to Forest Park and Hylton High Schools. This year’s Seniors swept the Districts with wins against Woodlawn and Woodbridge Little League including a final game 6 to 0 victory against Woodbridge.

With the District championship secured, DTQ traveled back to Pound Virginia to defend their State title. DTQ went undefeated in wins against Alexandria, Azalea, Front Royal, and Phoebus. The Seniors dispatched Phoebus in the semifinal 1 to 0, and in the Virginia State Championship game with a 6-2 victory. This State title was the fourth in a row for DTQ Seniors. The 2014 team was bolstered by seven returning players from the 2013 title team.

Although the State Championship was an important goal, there were bigger games ahead. The Virginia squad travelled to Safety Harbor Florida for the Southeast Regionals to avenge last year’s semi-final loss to Georgia. After beating Tennessee and South Carolina, the team faced a tough Florida team. In a close and hard fought game, Virginia came out on top of the 2 to 1 score. This victory led to a rematch against Georgia. Virginia beat Georgia 16 to 6 to capture their first ever Southeast regional Championship.

With little time to spare, the Southeast Champions headed to Bangor Maine for the Senior Little League World Series. The 2014 team was the first DTQ team to advance to the World Series in the fifty three year existence of the League. Once in Maine the players received their new maroon and gold uniforms and took a tour of Mansfield Stadium. The hosts, just like the Florida folks, were wonderful to the players and coaches and made the team feel at home.

The team from Dumfries won their first two games against the West team from Hawaii and the Canadian team before losing to Maine. The loss to Maine was the first the team had

faced. They bounced back to beat Asia Pacific to secure a spot in the semifinals. After a hard fought game against Latin America, the DTQ squad lost 2 to 1 with a walk off base hit in the bottom of the seventh.

In the span of two months, the team played in seventeen games in four separate tournaments with a combined record of 15 and 2. The excitement of the summer of 2014 and the accomplishments of these young men will be remembered by their League, their families, and most importantly by themselves for the rest of their lives.

Candy is what is on the mind of most Trick-or-Treaters as Halloween creeps closer. This year give those ghosts and goblins a fun surprise with these unique alternatives to candy. Don’t worry, you won’t be egged or skipped next year when you buck the trend of giving sweet treats. You may just become more popular than that house that gives full size candy bars!

Stickers are a great alternative! Kids love to use stickers to decorate their school folders, notebooks, and if they are under the age of 3 just about anything! Go for glow in the dark stickers and you are sure to be a hit.

Tap into the latest vampire craze and hand out fake fangs that glow in the dark. While these pearly whites may come pre-packaged, don’t expect them to stay in that wrapper long. After leaving your house every goblin and Barbie will be sporting fangs.

Kids love new school supplies! With the first day of school still fresh in their minds, children would love a Halloween or Fall themed pencil or eraser. Not only

is it festive but it will be used for months to come.

Temporary tattoos are always fun. These fun stick-on tattoos are available in varying themes including fall, Halloween, and even local sports teams. They are also fun for your wallet since they typically cost less than a bag of candy.

Have you ever met a child who didn’t want a glow stick, necklace, or bracelet? We haven’t! Passing out glow sticks will not only land you on the must visit list but will also help keep kids safe as they travel the neighborhood. Crack them to set off their glow as you hand them out. Kids will love you and parents will thank you.

Whether it’s a scary witch at your door or Elsa from Frozen they will love accessorizing their outfit with a spider or bat ring. These fun plastic rings are so cost-effective you could afford to hand out two, making you two times more popular.

They may not admit it, but every kid

loves a good prank. Help set up their next one by handing out glow in the dark insects. The little critters will provide a big scare when kids hide them in the laundry or under their pillow case. Purchase the bugs in varying sizes to give larger bugs to younger children to prevent a choking hazard.

Halloween is full of sticky hands, so why not give them one. Sticky hands, eye balls, and bugs are a sure hit with children. Not only are these sticky hands inexpensive, they won’t stain the walls like those produced from unwrapping pounds of candy.

Want to secure your spot as the best house on the block? Handing out small-sized play dough, bubbles or slime is your ticket to the top. Once the trick-or-treaters are home they will be so excited to play with the play dough or bubbles they won’t even think about the candy, giving mom and dad plenty of time to rummage for those tootsie rolls.

Whether you hand out candy, fangs, or pencils, MPOA hopes everyone has a fun and safe Halloween.

Montclair TriathletesMontclair Triathletes Compete in Age-Group Nationals, Qualify for Worlds and are Honored by USATOn August 10, a group of triathletes from Montclair and the surrounding community travelled to Milwaukee, Wisconsin to compete in the 2014 USAT Age-Group National Olympic Distance Triathlon. Each of these talented athletes previously qualified for the honor to compete amongst the best in their age-group from across the country by placing in the top 10% of their age-group at a qualifying race. Representing Montclair were Jane Langford, Doug Marocco, Matt Cobb, and Steve Putyion.

In addition to the championship race, USAT holds their annual Athlete of the Year and Multisport Award Winners Banquet. The dinner and ceremony honored 20 accomplished athletes and also recognized athletes and supporters in 6 categories for

promoting the multisport lifestyle in 2013. Long-time Montclair resident and triathlete extraordinare Jane Kelly-Langford was given the distinct USAT award of 2013 “Spirit of the Multi-Sport” for her work as Volunteer Coordinator for over 22 races for Setup Events. Jane received this award in part for “illustrating the principles of the positive spirit of the sport as displayed through acts of sportsmanship and leadership in the multisport, with no difference to athletic ability.” Jane, pictured below, also competed in the age-group race and while she said she didn’t have the race of her life, she did have the time of her life!

Three other Montclair athletes qualified for and competed in the race. Steve Putyion qualified for age-group nationals after a very

short tenure in the sport. His first triathlon was in 2013 at the BRATS Sizzling Summer Tri at Vint Hill and placed 1st in his age group and he quickly made a name for himself winning awards at many area triathlons, including the inaugural Quantico Triathlon. Steven trains with his mom, Kim, and is a member of Dominion Cycling and Triathlon.

This was Matt Cobb’s 2nd time competing in the age-group nationals race and he shaved over 3 minutes off of his previous national’s time. “I thought this was a good race and really enjoyed the course, particularly the swim. I was very pleased with my swim and bike times, at this year’s race, but unfortunately, my legs cramped up pretty badly in the run and I ended up running several minutes slower than I had

originally planned. As a result, I did not reach my goal of going under 2:20:00. Still, I was pleased with my overall experience at AGNC 2014. With any luck, I hope to qualify for Nationals next year (wherever it will be) and finally get under 2:20:00.” Matt coaches youth and adult triathletes alike and is a member of Dominion Cycling and Tri club.

Adding to his already impressive athletic resume, Doug Marocco placed 10th in his age group and qualified for USAT Nationals which will be held next year in Chicago. Previously Doug has competed in triathlons over the past 28 years and has earned such honors as 2 time USAT Age Group National Champion, 9 time Ironman Hawaii World Champion finisher, an ITU age-group Bronze medal finisher in Japan, and has placed in 2 previous Worlds competitions. Additionally, Doug was the Military National Champion four times for his success in Olympic-distance triathlons.

Montclair offers a perfect training ground for local athletes and their success at races across the Nation proves what a great group of athletes we have as our neighbors!

Boy Scout Troop 35By James G. Haskett, Troop ScribeSeptember was another busy month for Troop 35. It began with troop elections on the 10th. The Scouts elected their leadership for the next six months. On the 13th, Scouts from Troop 35 and Troop 189 distributed flyers/order forms for their Fall mulch sale fundraiser. If you didn’t receive an order form you can download one at www.Troop35Dumfries.com. Orders will be taken through the beginning of October, and the mulch will be delivered on October 11th. Troop 35 greatly appreciates the support of the Montclair community during this semi-annual fundraiser.

The September campout took place at Lake Anna State Park on the weekend of the 19th. The Scouts camped for the weekend. They enjoyed swimming and boating activities after receiving water safety training. Some scouts were able to complete requirements for advancement, too.

Troop 35 wrapped up the month with a Court of Honor ceremony on the 24th. Scout families

gathered to recognize the many achievements including advancements, merit badges, and special awards earned over the quarter by the Scouts. The new group of Scouts elected as leaders for the next six months was installed. If you or someone you know is interested in scouting, please contact Scoutmaster Dave Legge at [email protected] or visit the troop website at http://www.troop35dumfries.com/index.html. A Boy Scout is always prepared. Troop 35 is prepared to welcome you.

Supervisor Caddigan’s MessageDear Friends,

I have three topics to share with you this month.

DTQ Little LeagueLast month I shared with you in the Montclairion that all three (Big, Junior & Senior) All Star Teams of the Dumfries-Triangle-Quantico Little League each won their state championships for the second time in three years. The Seniors won the Southeastern Region Championship and advanced to the 2014 Senior Little League World Series in Bangor, Maine where they made it all the way to the semi-final game, losing to the Latin America team. That feat was

the first World Series appearance in the league’s 53 year history. Congratulations are extended to the players, coaches, parents and volunteers of the Senior League. You continue to be the pride of the county for all that you have achieved.

Van Buren RoadI have received many calls and emails concerning the street sign for Van Buren Road at the new Cardinal Grove Community under development near Cardinal Drive and Benita Fitzgerald Drive. I have asked our Chief of Transportation to respond and his comments follow:

“You may recently have observed construction activity to extend Van Buren Road south of Cardinal Drive. This work will not make the ultimate connection to Route 234. The longer project to connect the road from Cardinal Drive to Route 234 was recently approved by the Board of County Supervisors to be included in the local priorities for Northern Virginia Transportation Authority (NVTA) funding. However given the project’s cost (approximately $50 million) and engineering complexities it is unlikely to be funded in the immediate future. The project includes two major bridges/culverts, extensive earth work and environmental protection. If you would like to know more about the project call the Prince William Department of Transportation at (703) 792-6825.”

Montclair CommutersIn case you missed it when reported in the Potomac Local News, more options will be made available for Montclair commuters beginning on November 18. Starting then, some bus riders from Montclair bound for downtown will no longer have to stop at the Pentagon. The Potomac & Rappahannock Transportation Commission (PRTC), of which I am a member, approved that change at our September 4 meeting. This coming change is good news for our community. Because of the growth in ridership, PRTC Director Al Harf recommended to the Commission that an additional Montclair bus route be established. For more information contact [email protected].

I encourage you to sign up for my newsletters and e-grams on my webpage and for updated information at www.potomacdistrict.com. As always, you can reach me via e-mail with your thoughts or concerns at [email protected] or by phone at (703) 792-4645.
