Montclair’s annual assessments have not increased in over 4 years. One of the primary reasons is

Montclairions’ willingness to volunteer. You volunteer to serve on Montclair’s Board, you volunteer to

serve on Montclair’s various committees, and when we have our special events like Montclair Day, you

step forward to volunteer and make these events successful. Thank you!

Now at this time some of the Montclair committees are short of members. Please take a look at the list of

committees shown on page 2. Your skills and interests are needed.

Committees serve a very important role in the overall management of Montclair. Their innovative,

creative ideas presented to your Board are a major component to Montclair’s continuing successes. It’s an

opportunity for you to be a major contributor to your community.

Yes, I know everyone is busy and time is very valuable - but try volunteering. It will make you feel good.

WHEREAS, Article 4, Section 4.1, paragraph (16) of the Bylaws of Montclair Property Owners Association, Inc., empowers the Board of Directors to “make assessments against the Owners to defray the Common Expenses of the Association, establish the means and methods of collecting such assessments from the Owners and cause the annual assessment for Common Expenses to be paid quarterly or in such other periods as the Board may determine”; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors desires to clarify the policy for Montclair Property Owners Association, Inc. (the “Association”) with respect to collections.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Resolution No. #14-014 #14-112 supersedes all previously adopted resolutions involving collections and that the Board duly adopts the following assessment collection procedures:

1. PaymentThe annual assessment payment due on the first day of May, as well as the monthly installment payments that are due on the first day of each month via the 10 month installment plan (should an owner in good standing elect to pay in that manner), will be distributed to all owners via a coupon book mailed in April of each year. To be in good standing, the Owner must have a zero balance or credit balance on his/her assessment account and have no outstanding covenants or rules violation(s) or outstanding legal fees from past covenant or rules violation(s).

a. All documents, correspondence, and notices relating to the assessments shall be mailed to the address that appears on the books of the Association or to such other address as is designated in writing by the Owner. Non-Resident Owners shall furnish the Board of Directors with a phone number and an address where mail shall be promptly received by the Owner.

b. Non-receipt of payment coupons, billing statements, or such other devices shall in no way relieve the Owner of the obligation to pay the amount due by the due date.

c. All payments shall be made payable to the Montclair Property Owners Association (MPOA). Payments may be mailed to the address indicated in the assessment coupon booklet or delivered to the MPOA office.

d. All monthly installment payments are due on the first day of each month, beginning with May 1. e. Payments may be made by check, money order, or direct debit. Cash payments will not be accepted.f. In any instance where a check payable to the Association, its agent or attorney is returned dishonored, a fifty dollar ($50.00) returned check charge shall be

assessed against the account of the Owner responsible for payment. 1

g. If an Owner has had two (2) or more payments returned for insufficient funds within the past year, monthly payments will only be allowed if a direct debit account is established. If a direct debit transfer is rejected, payment may be made only by certified check.

1 The recoverable fee was increased by the 2008 Virginia Assembly.


Public Notice, continued2. Cost of CollectionPursuant to Section 10.1(a)(1) of the Amended Declaration, all actual costs to the Association incurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Association Documents by any Owner shall be assessed against such Owner’s lot, including but not limited to all service fees, late fees, administrative costs, management fees, certified mailing fees, and returned check charges.

3. Delinquent Accounts and Reminder Noticea. The annual assessment is due on the first day of May for each fiscal year. All installments of the annual assessments payable on a monthly basis shall be due and

payable on the first day of the applicable month. Any assessment or installment thereof that is not paid within ten (10) days of the due date shall be delinquent and shall incur a late fee in the amount of forty-five dollars ($45). A Reminder Notice setting forth the amount of the late fee or any other past due amount on an Owner’s account will be sent to the Owner by the Management Company, immediately upon incurrence of a late fee or anytime an account achieves a negative balance greater than $40.

b. Interest shall also accrue on all unpaid assessments from the date due until paid at the rate of 18% per annum.c. Upon notice by a Member of an account discrepancy or waiver request:

1. If the Accounting Department cannot resolve an issue of a late and/or service fees with a Member, they will prepare a summary report and forward this report to the Treasurer, via the General Manager, with a recommended course of action; 2. If the issue involves any adjustment to the Member’s account, including any member requesting the removal of late and/or service fees from their account, the General Manager will have the authority to credit accounts up to $45.00 and the Treasurer shall have authority up to $100.00. If a Member’s account is delinquent and brought into “good standing,” the General Manager has the authority to allow the Member to revert from making an annual payment to monthly payments. The reasons for granting or not granting the request and the Account Department’s report will be forwarded to the Board of Directors with the appropriate report from the General Manager and/or Treasurer. 3. If the issue or Member request for the waiving of late and/or service fees cannot be resolved then the open issues, along with the appropriate recommendations from the Accounting Department, General Manager, and/or Treasurer, shall be referred to the Financial Appeals Board (FAB), a standing committee of the Board for resolution.

4. Notice of Intent to Accelerate Assessment (No Change)

5. Acceleration of Annual Assessment Installments (No Change)

6. Referral to Attorney (No Change)

a.

If full payment of assessments, together with, attorney’s fees, late fees, collection costs, interest, and returned check fees have not been received within thirty three (33) days from the date of the Notice, legal counsel shall initiate appropriate legal action. Such legal action may include, but not be limited to, the filing of memoranda of liens, suits for personal judgments, garnishments, levies, enforcement of memoranda of liens by non judicial or judicial foreclosure of memoranda of liens.

b. In any proceedings arising out of any alleged default by an owner, the Association shall be entitled to recover the costs of such proceeding and such reasonably attorney’s fees as may be determined by the court.

In 1984, President Ronald Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month and the third Sunday of the month as National Ice Cream Day. He recognized ice cream as a fun and nutritious food that is enjoyed by a full 90 percent of the nation’s population. In the proclamation, President Reagan called for all people of the United States to observe these events with “appropriate ceremonies and activities.” Celebrate a month of everyone’s favorite treat with these recipes.

Dear Neighbor,

First, I would like to say that I am proud to be a Montclairion. Montclair is nothing short of an amazing community to live and raise a family. However, we would be remiss in thinking our community is beyond the reach of the human trafficking scourge. Human trafficking is defined as the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for the purpose of exploitation, through the use of force, fraud, coercion, or performed by a child under the age of 18. When most of us think of human trafficking we envision a made-for-Hollywood depiction of forced commercial sexual exploitation. However, in reality this crime is much more clandestine. You may have already encountered a victim, without ever knowing it.

One of the more circuitous forms of human trafficking involves peddling rings and sales crews. These solicitation rings entrap runaway and homeless youth by controlling their housing, finances, communication, and nourishment. These kids work for little-to-no money; fraught with abuse and forced drug use. Trafficked solicitors may be beaten, starved, or left on the streets if they don’t make their quota. It is important to understand that our community has a reputation of being upper-crest, and as such these crews may target us.

In September of 2013, I encountered who I believe to be a victim of human trafficking at my door in Montclair. As an expert in the field, a few things raised my suspicions: 1) She lived out-of-state in North Carolina and came to Virginia for the sole purpose of soliciting for the week, 2) She was temporarily living in a motel with 15 other youth, some of which were former runaways or homeless, and 3) her finances, transportation, housing, and communication (phone) were controlled by her “employer”. When PWC police responded: 4) she did not have any identification on her and 5) she claimed that other solicitation rings like hers were also prostituting the female workers. The totality of the circumstances led both the PWC police officers and myself to conclude that this was likely a case of human trafficking.

In order to reduce the incidence of this heinous crime, it is important for communities like ours to recognize the warning signs and red flags of human trafficking. If you speak with a solicitor, who meets some of the aforementioned red flags, please report it. Immediately call the PWC police non-emergency line: (703) 792-6500. For victim assistance please call the 24-hour ACTS SAVAS Hotline: 703-368-4141. If the suspected victim is from out-of-state or locally, report it to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children: 1-800-843-5678. These are three discrete tasks that can help protect our community and others.

Fresh, local fruit is one of the best parts of summer. Sweet, juicy peaches, deep red watermelons, and large, ripe blueberries are just a few of the treats nature has in store for us during the peak of the season. We are especially lucky in this area to have several farmers’ markets close by to bring the bounty of local farms right to our backyard. Farmers’ markets are a great way to get fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables at the height of their growing season and to support local, independent farmers. Perusing the local farmers’ market also makes a great weekend family activity that is both fun and educational. A weekly trip to the farmers’ market will educate kids on how their favorite foods get from the farm to the table. Farmers and vendors love to discuss their growing practices and answer questions from inquiring young minds. This fun outing gets the family involved and excited about choosing and eating healthy foods.

July is peak month for blueberries, blackberries, cantaloupes, peaches, nectarines, and watermelons. For a helpful chart of which Virginia grown fruits and vegetables are best during which months of the year, including those listed here, check out the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Service’s website at http://www.vdacs.virginia.gov/vagrown/pdf/producechart.pdf, or check out picks from upcoming months on the right.

These wonderful fruits can be enjoyed on their own, mixed into a variety of light, refreshing summer salads, or blended into wholesome smoothies. So set your alarm a little earlier this weekend and start exploring the bounty of the Virginia countryside brought right here to Prince William County.

102 degrees! On an 85 degree day, it only takes ten minutes for the inside of your car to reach 102 degrees, even when the windows have been left open an inch or two.

Within 30 minutes, a car’s interior can reach 120 degrees. When the temperature outside is a pleasant 70 degrees the inside of your car may be as much as 20 degrees hotter.

Shade offers little protection on a hot day and moves with the sun. Pets most at risk for hyperthermia (overheating) are young animals, elderly animals, overweight animals, those with short muzzles and those with thick or dark-colored coats.

If Your Dog is Overcome by the HeatBring down body temperature by soaking the animal in cool (not ice) water, but make sure water does not get into the mouth or nose of an unconscious animal. Seek immediate veterinary care.

And remember, hot asphalt and tar can burn sensitive paw pads. Walk your pet on grass or dirt when possible.

What do you do if you see a pet left in a car?Please call either Prince William Animal Control at (703) 792-6465 or Prince William Police Department at (703) 792-6500 to report it and then wait to make sure someone arrives.

A Form of Cruelty - LiterallyThe State of Virginia and Prince William County both have animal cruelty laws that prohibit leaving an animal unattended in a motor vehicle under dangerous conditions, which include hot days. Under these laws, police, animal control officers, peace officers and others may be authorized to enter by whatever means necessary to remove the animal. You could have your car damaged, be charged with a crime, and fined or imprisoned. It’s not worth it - don’t leave your pets in your car.

Heat Kills! Please Don’t Leave Your Pets in Your Car!

Summer is officially here! Many are heading out of town for vacations. Kids are playing outside and pesky little critters are appearing in and around our homes. Here are a few safety tips to follow this summer:

Vacationers• Do not announce to the world that you

will be out of town: you never know who is listening. Do not advertise your travel plans or dates on Facebook or Twitter. Let a trusted neighbor or family nearby know, but do so in person or by phone or email.

• Make your house look like it is being lived in. The idea is to give the impression that you have never left.

• Before you leave, make an inventory of all your valuables, including serial numbers and video or photo documentation.

• Use timers and program them for different times throughout the house. They can be obtained at any hardware or department store such as Walmart or Target.

• Cancel your newspaper. For those receiving the Washington Post, visit their website, click on “Subscribe” and you can set up a Vacation Stop. Alternatively, have a neighbor that you trust pick up your papers. See if a neighbor can pull advertisements out of your door when solicitors come through leaving flyers.

• Place your mail on hold by going to http:/

www.usps.com. Look for “Hold Mail,” fill out the form and you’re done.

• Have one of your neighbors park in your driveway or in front of your townhome while you’re away.

• Lock all windows and doors, including the door inside the garage.

• Set your alarm system and let the company know where you can be reached.

• If you are going to be away for a significant amount of time, have someone mow your lawn.

• Do not leave notes on your door when you are gone, and do not hide your keys under the mat or in other conspicuous places.

• Most neighborhoods in Montclair have a Neighborhood Watch. If so, contact your Neighborhood Watch Captain and see if they can keep an eye on your home while you are away.

Home & Community Safety• Keep your home well lit at night, inside

and out, and keep your curtains closed at night.

• Do not leave bicycles, skateboards, soccer balls, and basketballs out in your front lawns overnight: unfortunately they sometimes have a habit of disappearing.

• Lock your cars. Do not leave valuables in plain view inside your car. There are

opportunists out there that are tempted by laptop computers, cell phones, GPS’s and other valuables lying on the seat.

• Do not hesitate to report any suspicious activities. You can call the PWC Police non-emergency line at (703) 792-6500 and always dial 911 if it is an emergency.

• Keep doors to the house within garages locked when working outside or in the backyard when the garage door is open. In fact, keep your garage doors closed even when you are home as it invites those pesky critters, such as snakes, right into your home. If you need help with one of those critters, know that PWC Animal Control only deals with domestic animals. If you have any type of wildlife problem or need pest control, call 1 (888) 488-7720 and ask for Hire a Trapper.

• Runners/Joggers: Be sure you hydrate well in the hot summer months, and if you are running early in the morning consider investing in a reflective vest of some sort. These vests can help others see you, particularly when crossing intersections. Be smart and be safe!

• Most of all, keep an eye out for children playing when you are driving. Be cautious and slow down: you are the adult, be responsible and look out for their safety.

Supervisor Caddigan’s MessageCongratulations to the 2014 graduates! I wish you all a happy and safe summer.

I want to pass along some upcoming events in the Potomac District and updates on some ongoing projects.

Montclair Public Library: Authorized by voters in the 2006 referendum, the library will be a 20,000 square foot full service facility with both traditional services such as check-out of materials, information and readers’ advisory services and children’s programs and services, as well as online services such as electronic resources, web based library services, self check-out, and public internet access and wireless public internet access. The library will be located near the intersection of Route 234 and Waterway Drive and will include the presence of the Barnes House which is one of Prince William County’s only remnants of a post-Civil War African-American settlement. The house was once owned by Eppa Lee and Amanda Catherine Lambert Barnes who raised their twelve children there. Eppa Lee was a woodsman and farmer. The house was relocated from its original site at Independent Hill to County property temporarily until the library is completed. Groundbreaking for the new Montclair library took place on June 18. The ribbon-cutting should be held in September 2015 when it is expected to open. I want to especially thank the MPOA Board of Directors for their unanimous support of the library. Several took time to speak at the County’s public hearing including the Board President, Board members, our Library Trustee and citizens of our community.

Fuller Heights Park: Plans are underway for a fall ribbon-cutting ceremony at the new 46-acre park on Fuller Heights Road and the three baseball fields will be sodded and ready for play - more details to come.

Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course: The golf course and its clubhouse officially opened on May 22 with a visit by Mr. Nicklaus who played and inspected the course.

Chick-Fil-A: The long awaited popular restaurant to be located at Quantico Center is scheduled for groundbreaking in July!

Polling Places: Please note that the Registrar’s Office has changed some of our polling places due to growth. These changes are taking place county-wide! The following changes are in effect in the Potomac District: Washington-Reid and Forest Park voters will now vote at the First Mount Zion Baptist Church on Route 234. The Pattie Precinct will be located in its entirety at Forest Park High School. The Henderson Precinct is split because of the 51st (Luke Torian) and 31st (Scott Lingamfelter) delegates. Voters represented by Delegate Torian will vote at the newly named Cardinal Precinct located at the Potomac Crest Baptist Church on Cardinal Drive. Voters in Cardinal Station and those residing along Minnieville Road and Spriggs Road will vote at the new Cabin Branch Precinct located at Forest Park High School. The Montclair resident voters will remain in the Montclair Precinct. Be sure to look at your new Voter Registration Card to confirm your voting location. Remember that the General Assembly now requires all voters to have an approved picture ID. If you do not now have a picture ID one can be issued to you at the Voter Registration Office at the DMV on Telegraph Road.

I hope you will sign up to receive my newsletter at www.potomacdistrict.com and that you will have a happy summer and enjoy the warm weather.

Boy ScoutsTroop 35By James G. Haskett, Troop ScribeJune was another busy month for Troop 35. It started with another successful workup hike for the Philmont Crew at Big Schloss. This was a challenging 11 miles with a lot of climbing. The scouts were outfitted with their full gear for this hike which increased its overall challenge. This scout-lead hike was a tough challenge for the boys, but they had a lot of fun. On June 14, the crew had a workup hike at Cattlet Mountain. This hike involved a lot of elevation change as lots of the paths were steep climbs. With mostly full packs, this was a bit more difficult for the scouts. The third and final workup hike this month occurred from June 21 to 22. Camping overnight with full gear, the scouts awoke to the immense challenge of “The Priest,” a 7 mile very intense and difficult hike. This was, by far, the most challenging of the workup hikes the scouts have completed.

For the rest of the troop, patrols got to plan outings for themselves this month. This is a great chance for patrol leadership to take charge and plan a successful outing each patrol can enjoy. With a little guidance from experienced adult planners, every patrol took an enjoyable outing while continuing to learn skills. Overall, this was a great experience for the young leaders of the troop.

One of the most important events of the year, a Court of Honor, occurred on June 11. This is the time of the year when the scouts of the troop get officially recognized for their achievements over the past three months. These achievements range from merit badges to rank advancements, and even some special awards are presented. This ceremony also gives young scouts an opportunity to emcee an event which is required for the Communication merit badge, an Eagle required merit badge. Without a doubt, this troop event is one of the most important things done all year.

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.

Montclair Lions ClubWelcome New MembersIn May, the Montclair Lions welcomed our newest members, Lion Mickey Yeager and Lion Iftikhar Haq to the club.

Montclair Lions Celebrates 35 Years of ServiceIn June of 1917, a Chicago insurance man - Melvin Jones - wondered why local businessmen could not expand their focus beyond purely business concerns to that of assisting their neighbors, bettering their communities and the world at large. That vision has grown to the Lions Club International (LCI) which is one of the largest service clubs in the world with more than 45,000 clubs and 1.3 million members in more than 150 countries. On June 10, the Montclair Lions Club celebrated 35 years of service to the Montclair and surrounding communities and installed its new officers.

began with a group of Montclair golfers, would not have been possible without the continued and generous support of the Montclair area communities.

Lions Vision Statement: To be the global leader in community and humanitarian service.Our Mission: To empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace and promote international understanding through Lions clubs.Our Slogan: Liberty, Intelligence, Our Nation’s SafetyOur Motto: We Serve

Our founding club activities focused on the education, prevention and treatment of disabilities associated with blindness, hearing loss and diabetes. As our club grew, we have expanded our role to supporting Boys and Girls Clubs, college scholarships for local seniors, talent competitions for gifted musicians and support to needy families through ACTS. This year the Montclair Lions Club will open a new chapter by exploring our capacity to respond to a community disaster, such as a breach of the Montclair Dam. We will explore opportunities to team with the MPOA and Prince William Volunteers to educate and prepare our community and serve to help coordinate unassociated volunteers during an emergency. We welcome men and women who are interested in participating in our Lions activities and especially our new growth area into disaster preparedness for our Montclair community.

For additional information, please contact the Montclair Lions Club President Jim Cech at (703) 680-2363, Lion Lynn Wallace (703) 580-4963 or Lion Trey Austin at (703) 583-0543. To learn more about Lions and our local club please visit: http://www.orgsites.com/va/montclair-lions/index.html.
