THE MONTCLAIRION • OCTOBER 2013

President’s Message Parking on state-managed streets in Montclair is recognized as a major problem in certain areas. As Montclairions comply with increased encouragement to commute by carpool, vanpool, or bus, Montclair’s state-managed streets become parking areas at commuters departure points. Many households have more than two cars. Some reportedly have as many as six. Forest Park students park on streets near the school. There is an overflow of townhome vehicles. Too many vehicles for available parking spaces or misuse of parking spaces is now a major problem in certain areas of our community. Some streets with parking on both sides are narrowed to one lane, creating an inconvenient and unsafe situation. Often vehicles are parked blocking mailboxes and driveways. These community parking problems were clearly presented by citizens at Montclair’s August Board meeting. An attempt to appoint a task group consisting of WETA, Spring Branch, Holleyside, and Board members to focus on identifying solutions has not materialized. The appointment efforts will continue. Heather McDevitt, General Manager, and I have met with Mr. Brent, Forest Park High School’s principal. He assured us that school security and staff would monitor student activities on the trail and parking areas. But he also pointed out that he has no authority to restrict student parking on state owned streets. In addition, he pointed out that Montclair was confronted with the same parking situation when school parking fees were only $25 per year.

Ned Greene, President

The Board and Management have authority to enforce the community covenants and founding documents. The parking is on state owned and managed streets. State laws are applicable on these streets. Management has the police in the area and they are ticketing violators of state or county laws. A meeting is scheduled with Supervisor Caddigan, county street managers, and State Department of Highways representatives to identify actions that can be taken on these state-managed streets. In the meantime, please: • Clean out garages and use them for cars; • Park cars in driveways instead of street parking; • Do not block mailboxes; • Do not block your neighbor’s driveway. Thanks to all for your input, concerns, and personal commitments as this community situation is addressed. Ned Greene President

THE MONTCLAIRION • OCTOBER 2013

Annual Lowering of Lake Montclair Once again this fall, the water level of Lake Montclair will be lowered temporarily to permit maintenance of the downpipe structure grates and sluice gate. A thorough cleaning of the Montclair beaches and common property abutting the Lake will also be accomplished. Sand on the beaches and in the swimming areas will be replenished as necessary. On Monday, December 2nd, Lake Montclair’s water level will be lowered three feet, and will remain lowered for one week. After work is completed, the sluice gate will be closed, allowing the water level to naturally return to

188 feet above mean sea level. Powell’s Creek flow and rainfall will determine how long this actually takes. Lakefront property owners are encouraged to take actions necessary to protect their personal property, e.g. adjust pontoon retaining lines to accommodate the lower water level and properly secure or remove boats, canoes, and kayaks. Of course, this is also an excellent time for lakefront property owners to perform dock repairs, place rip rap, and perform other

waterfront improvements including cleaning the exposed lake bottom along your shoreline. Your efforts will contribute significantly to the health and appearance of Lake Montclair. Advance notification of the lowering of the lake water level is being provided to allow sufficient time for the submittal and approval of Property Improvement Requests (PIR) where required. If you have any questions concerning what improvements require approval, please contact the Covenants Administrator, Jessica Spitalny, at (703) 670-6187, or covadmin@ montclairva.com.

Fire Prevention Week By PWC Department of Fire & Rescue It’s time for Fire Prevention Week, and from October 6th-12th Prince William County Fire Station 17 is joining forces with the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to remind local residents to ‘Prevent Kitchen Fires.’ During this year’s fire safety campaign, firefighters and safety advocates will be spreading the word about the dangers of kitchen fires - most of which result from unattended cooking - and teaching local residents how to prevent kitchen fires from starting in the first place. According to the latest NFPA research, cooking is the leading cause of home fires. Two of every five

THE MONTCLAIRION • OCTOBER 2013

home fires begin in the kitchen - more than any other place in the home. Cooking fires are also the leading cause of home fire-related injuries. Often when we’re called to a fire that started in a kitchen, the residents tell us that they only left the kitchen for a few minutes. Sadly, that’s all it takes for a dangerous fire to start. We hope that Fire Prevention Week will help us reach folks in the community before they’ve suffered a damaging loss. Among the safety tips that firefighters and safety advocates will be emphasizing: • Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, broiling, or boiling food.

• • • • • •

If you must leave the room, even for a short period of time, turn off the stove. When you are simmering, baking, or roasting food, check it regularly, stay in the home, and use a timer to remind you. If you have young children, use the stove’s back burners whenever possible. Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the stove. When you cook, wear clothing with tightfitting sleeves. Keep potholders, oven mitts, wooden utensils, paper and plastic bags, towels, and anything else that can burn, away from your stovetop. Clean up food and grease from burners and stovetops.

Drive Extra Safely on Halloween Slow down and be especially alert in residential neighborhoods. Children are excited on Halloween and may move in unpredictable ways. Take extra time to look for kids at intersections, on medians and on curbs. Enter and exit driveways and alleys slowly and carefully. Eliminate any distractions inside your car so you can concentrate on the road and your surroundings. Drive slowly, anticipate heavy pedestrian traffic, and turn your headlights on earlier in the day to spot children from greater distances. - From SafeKids.org

News Around the Community Boy Scouts

Troop 35 September was another busy month for Troop 35. With school back in session our meetings returned to Pattie Elementary from our summer home at American Legion Post 28. Our first event of the month was a backpacking outing to the George Washington National Forest. A small group of scouts & adults honed their outdoor skills in this beautiful setting. Early in the month we delivered flyers all over Montclair to advertise our semi-annual mulch sale. The proceeds from the sale help pay for troop operations and activities. If anyone misplaced or didn’t get their flyer, it can be downloaded at www.troop35dumfries.com.

campout because it is fun and scouts have the opportunity to work on fishing and shooting sports merit badges. Troop elections were held in September. A scout who is interested in a leadership position nominates himself for that position. Each scout votes by ballot on whom he thinks will be the best scout for each position during a six month term. Scouts are expected to hold different leadership positions throughout their scouting experience as requirements for rank. The adventures in Scouting are incredible, but the lessons a scout learns while having those adventures are literally life-changing. That is what Scouting is all about.

The quarterly Court of Honor was held midSeptember to recognize all of the scouts who have achieved higher ranks and earned merit badges. We also watched a slideshow of all our activities over the past six months including five campouts, summer camp and a high adventure trip to Canada. This is always a highlight of the Court of Honor.

If you or someone you know is interested in scouting, please contact Scoutmaster Dave Legge at troop35scoutmaster@gmail.com 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.

Later in the month the scouts had a great time at the Field and Stream Campout. This event gave the scouts a chance to camp and fish and try archery, rifle and shotgun shooting with certified instructors. This is always a favorite

Montclair Lions Club Lions Selling 2013 White House Ornaments This year’s White House Christmas ornament honors Woodrow Wilson, the twenty-eighth president of the United States. The years of Wilson’s two terms in office, from 1913 to 1921, are defined by the unprecedented devastation of World War I, yet Wilson himself would be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1919, and his life is distinguished by his resolve that the Great War would truly be the war to end all wars. It was President Wilson’s extraordinary quest for a lasting world peace that inspired the design of this year’s ornament. The centerpiece of the 2013 ornament is an American Elm tree planted by President Wilson on the North Lawn of the White House on December 18, 1913, just before Christmas. To plant a tree is to signify hope, a powerful emotion the president surely needed as his two terms unfolded. The stately elm tree is depicted as it once stood, a quiet sentinel, beside the President’s House on a wintry day. This snowy scene is surrounded by a 24-karat gold-plated frame comprised of elm leaves on the innermost circle, a wreath of olive branches in the middle, and holly leaves bordering Wilson’s monogram on the outermost circle. Two peace doves perch upon the olive branches, bearing banners that announce “The White House, Christmas 2013.” The words inscribed on the reverse side of the ornament

were delivered by President Wilson in his War Message to Congress of April 2, 1917: “Peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty.” The ornament is made in the United States. The club is selling these beautiful ornaments for $19.00 each. To order by mail, please send a check payable to Lions Club of Montclair Charities, to P.O. Box 246, Dumfries, VA 22026 or contact Tina Cech at 703-680-2363 or Betsy Austin at 703-583-0543. Please include your name, address, number of ornaments and phone number when placing your order. Club members will hand deliver the ornaments to your home at the earliest opportunity. The funds raised by this event will provide eyeglasses, hearing aids and examinations for those unable to afford these services. Funds are used to provide health and welfare assistance to the area’s needy as well as scholarship awards to high school seniors demonstrating a strong commitment to community service. Our club’s fund-raising supports the Federation for the Blind, ACTS, Boys and Girls Club of PWC, Special Olympics, Boy Scouts of America and other youth services in Prince William County. For additional information on the club’s fund raising activities please contact Lion Betsy Austin at (703) 583-0543.

THE MONTCLAIRION â&#x20AC;˘ OCTOBER 2013

Supervisor Caddigan’s Message I hope everyone had a restful and enjoyable summer. In the July issue of The Montclairion I shared with you the response from Secretary of Transportation Connaughton concerning the issues surrounding the planned Bi-County Parkway and invite you to go to my webpage at www.potomacdistrict.com to see and hear his response to my questions. The sign is up on Waterway Drive near the Southlake Shopping Center! The developer of that shopping center proffered a library site over 20 years ago. The bond referendum passed by voters in 2006 included funds to build the library and the Board of Supervisors approved continuation of its development in the Fiscal Year 2013 budget following which the Library Board selected its building design. The Montclair Library will be a state-of-the-art facility offering services to our community and throughout the region. It will include 20,000 square feet of space with indoor parking for 100 cars and will open in September of 2015. Its open and inviting unique Community Information Center includes a historic post-Civil War African-American home identified as the Barnes House. The property was once owned by Eppa Lee and Amanda Catherine Lambert Barnes who raised their 12 children there. That structure has been in protected storage since being moved when Route 234 was widened to four lanes. Ground breaking will be scheduled for this fall.

Maureen Caddigan Potomac District Supervisor

I am pleased to share with you that the steel beams from the World Trade Center, after much preparation, are now on display at the County’s McCoart Facility. The World Trade Center Monument was dedicated in a Liberty Memorial Ceremony on September 11, 2013. It stands as a reminder that we should never forget the many men and women who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. Next month it is my hope to give you an update on the Fuller Heights Park in Triangle as well as some plans for Route 1 in that area. As always you may contact me with your thoughts and concerns via email at mcaddigan@pwcgov.org or by phone at (703) 792-4645. You can also sign up for updates at my website at www.potomacdistrict.com. Maureen Caddigan Potomac District Supervisor
