In My Own Words…Presiden= t’s Article

On behalf of the Montpelier Woods = Board of Directors, I extend wishes for a very Healthy, Prosperous and Happy New Yea= r to all of you and your families!

I would like to start this edition = by expressing my sincere thanks to the current Board members and to the past B= oard members (Dale Good and Charlie Kort= lang) for their contributions to the success of the 2007 Board. The 2008 Board (reflected above) a= ssumed office in November and is already at work.= Special thanks to every homeowner who participated in the events and activities this year, including the fall election. I dare say that this year’s election had the most participation that any of us can recall.

Recognizing Volunteers –

Kudos goes to the Nominating Committee: Joyce Pitts and Mary = Ellen Killeen; the Citizen Advisory Committee: Dale = Good; and the Architectural Committee: Bonnie Kidd, Joyce Matthews Pitts = and Gordon Rabe. Finally, thanks to the 40+ homeowners and family members who participated in the fall clean up in our community. I again ask each homeowner to plea= se visit and bookmark your community’s website at http://mwhoa.co= m. We are always looking for volunteers. Anyone wishing to= serve our community in any way should contact us via e-mail at mwhoa@ho= tmail.com or leave a voice mail= at 240-554-2438.

Community Items of Interest –

It seems that crime in Montpelier Woods is increasingly an issue. In res= ponse, the Board has called on the experience of prior Board President, Dale Good,= to work closely with the Prince Georges County Police Department to assist us = in combating this issue. The Boa= rd plans to devote the entire January meeting to discussing courses of action. In the interim,= we urge everyone to keep a watchful eye out and report suspicious activities immediately to the police. Th= e PG County Police has a confidential telephone tip line (301) 931-3575; please use it to repo= rt matters of concern.

During a recent survey of the common areas by Laurel Tree Service, their tree expert identified several trees that could pose a threat to property. Those trees all are scheduled to be removed in the coming weeks as soon as weather and scheduling permits. If you notice a leaning, dying or = dead tree in the common area that poses a potential threat, please contact us immediately.

I am pleased to see that the work order no. 7648= 7 to trim the county trees is paying dividends.= If the trees in front of your property have not been trimmed, please contact DPW and reference the work order number above. Equally pleasing is seeing that the requested sidewalk repairs have begun.&nbs= p; If the sidewalk in front of your property is in need of repair, plea= se contact DPW and reference work order 76487.

Board Election – Now that the election is over and the 2008 Board= is seated, we look forward to taking up some of the lingering issues in our community:

· = Amending the Covenants allowing the Board to deal with some current issues, such as satellite dishes. Many of you= have contacted us regarding the number of satellite dishes in the neighborhood, specifically the manner in which they have been installed.

· = Combating t= he current neighborhood crime issues by developing a comprehensive Neighborhood Watch or some other plan,

· = Seeking a t= raffic light at the Route 197 and Basswood entrance to our development.=

Thank you for your support of the Board of Direc= tors as we work to maintain the harmony of the community.

OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS YOU TO HELP WITH A COMMUNITY WATCH PROGRAM

The PG County Police Department is making an inc= reased effort to develop a Community Watch Program in the <= st1:PlaceName w:st=3D"on">Northern County area. The current Commander of District VI understands the need for good community relations between the police and citizens of the area.

The police cannot prevent or solve all crimes wi= thout the strong support of the citizens of the community. A Community Watch Program (CWP) ca= n go a long way toward reducing crime and protecting citizens and property. The police will train Community Wa= tch Captains at a time of convenience to the volunteers for this program. Ideally, there would be a Watch Ca= ptain for each block on each street. Watch Captains serve as information distributors to the community and police.

Let’s start the New Year with better secur= ity in our community. Please volunte= er as a Community Watch Captain. Ca= ll the MWHOA voice mail number at: 240-554-2438 and leave your name. A short class will be scheduled as we get volunteers. This will not require many hours of your time.

FROM THE BOARD…

Bus Stops - The Board has received complaints about cars blocking the line of vision at intersections near school bus pickup and drop off points in the mornings and afternoons. To p= arents who park your cars at the corners, please be mindful of blocking other drivers’ line of vision at intersections as you wait for the school bus. We realize you don’= ;t want your child in the elements, but by parking too close to an intersection, you are creating the potential for an accident for those who are trying to leave the neighborhood and are unable to see around your cars. You also place your passengers and= car at risk if you are near an accident site.&nbs= p; We appreciate your cooperation.

January Board Meeting - As stated in the President’s article, the Board plans= to devote much of the January meeting to discussing recent neighborhood crimes= and developing a neighborhood watch program in Montpelier Woods. Your help is essential, so please = plan to join us on January 21^st, 7:30 p.m. at = Deerfield Run Community Center.

New Telephone Number - As of October 2007, the Board has a new voice mail telep= hone number – 240-554-2438. = Kindly make a note of this number.

As this newsletter goes to press shortly after the end of the Association̵= 7;s fiscal year, here is where the Association stands from a financial standpoint. Under our system = of tightly-controlled increases in annual dues, it is a constant challenge to = keep the Association’s expenses from outpacing its receipts. Nevertheless, the Association mana= ged to do a little better than break even in both 2007 and 2006. Since the Board had projected a de= ficit of as much as $6000 for 2007, the break-even result is bett= er than expected. In 2007, that = result came partly from the Board deferring expenditures for Beautification projec= ts until 2008.

In 2007, the Board continued to work to lower Association expenses wherever possible. The Board found less expensive phone service in 2007 and negotiated a lo= wer rate for services to the Common Areas.&nbs= p; The Board also spent less on Community Events than it had included in the budget for 2007. In addition, the Board continued to maximize earned interest. In 2007, however, t= he Association also had more homeowners refuse to p= ay their annual dues in 2007 than did in 2006. Thus, the Association is paying gr= eater legal expenses from placing liens on more properties in 2007.

In 2008, expenses are once again projected to exceed the receipts by as much as $6600. If expenses exceed rec= eipts as projected, that amount will be covered by the Association’s current savings. At its December meeting, the Board approved the following Budget f= or 2008.

In response to residents’ input about landscaping at the entrance signs,= the Board has budgeted an increase in Beautification funds for 2008. The Board also retained some funds= for community events. The Board a= lso plans to continue its active program of hiring tree experts to examine, evaluate = and remove all trees in the Common Areas that they identify as dead, dying or otherwise hazardous. Like last year, the Board expects the bulk of the budgeted expenditures for Grounds Maintenance, if not more, to be devoted to that. &n= bsp;         =             &nb= sp;

HOME SECURITY^*

With reports of recent crime activity in our neighborhood, securing our homes be= comes increasingly important. A sav= vy homeowner can minimize risk and exposure to criminals. One of the first thi= ngs you can do to safeguard your home is never to leave your doors unlocked. If you have a concern regarding the level of protection your door locks afford, contact a reputable locksmith f= or an upgrade. Contractor-grade = locks are not very secure. At the s= ame time, check the locks on your windows and sliding door. Explore additional protection for = them also.

Never leave an open garage door unattended. It is certainly an invitation for someone to “borrow” an item from your garage or gain entry to your home. Just ask a few of our neighbors wh= o have “lost” items while they just stepped away for a moment. While we are talking about the gar= age, consider unplugging your garage door opener when you go on a trip, or insta= ll a switch to turn off the power to the opener. Keep the interior door to your gar= age locked at all times.

Do you keep your ladders outdoors, and not locked to a fence or tree? Why give someone the tool they nee= d to get into a second floor window? (On this point, never leave any tool outside for someone to steal.) Also, keep your second floor windo= ws locked when you are not at home. Yes, they are reachable.

When going away, even for just a day, be sure to stop your mail service and paper delivery. Ask neighbors to ke= ep an eye on your home and retrieve any packages or other items that signal you a= re away.

Your automobile is a prime target for anyone who wants it. Never leave house keys in your vehicle(s), and never leave an idling vehicle unattended. Remote garage door openers should = be kept hidden, not on a visor or in a glove box. Better yet, don’t leave it i= n the car at all.

Always keep alert for any suspicious activity around your home. That includes activity around your neighbor’s home and your street as well. If you feel something is not right= , call the police immediately. It is better to be safe and call, than to regret not calling. Observant citizens are the first l= ine of security defense.   Stay Safe!

RECYCLING JUST GOT EASIER<= /p>

Every Wednesday, Prince George’s County trucks drive through our neighborhood to collect recyclable materials that residents have placed outside in bright yellow plastic bins. Whether you have been recycling fo= r a long time or not at all, you may be interested in the new system the County= has adopted for recycling materials. Recycling has just gotten simpler and more comprehensive. Here’s the good news:

There is no need to sort anything you recycle! Just put all your it= ems in the same bin.   (The Coun= ty now has equipment to sort the materials.)

There is a long list of items that may be recycled. For instance, t= hose glossy catalogs that fill our mailbox, especially in November and December, may be recycled. Wrapping paper may = also be recycled. In addition, col= ored office paper may be tossed in the recycling bin along with the white paper. Both books and telepho= ne books can join them. And, please, f= eel free to throw in the junk mail! The official County list of recyclable items is:

§         Narrow neck= bottles and containers

The County also has a list of Items that cannot be recycled (much as we would like to throw these items in too).&n= bsp; That list is:

v      Auto parts

v      Broken glas= s

v      Bubble wrap=         =

v      Plastic ute= nsils

v      Plastic wra= p and bags

v      Windowpanes=

v      Yogurt cont= ainers

With the new County approach to recycling, you may find that a single recycling = bin is no longer big enough to handle everything you collect in a week. If you are new to recycling, using= an official County bin may help to avoid confusion as you start. While any box or receptacle marked= with the word “Recycling” may be used as a recycling container, it i= s surprisingly easy to get new bins= . You may order up to two a year fro= m the County for free. There are two ways to accomplish that. To request a recycling = bin online, go to:

ht= tp://www.goprincegeorgescounty.com/Government/AgencyIndex/DER

and click on “Recycle Bin Request Form” on the right side of the pa= ge under “Quick Links.” (You can also find a link to that and other recycling info on the Association’s website at h= ttp://www.mwhoa.com/id19.html) If you prefer to use the telephone= , you can call (301) 952-7630 to make the request for one or two recycling bins.<= span style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'> Our family requested a new recycli= ng bin online recently and we were happy to find a new one on our front lawn (alre= ady marked with our house address) within 10 days. That’s good government servi= ce!

Finally, the County plans to replace all of the yellow recycling bins with 65-gallon carts on wheels by 2010. The = new carts will have lids to keep contents dry.= The County is making the transition one area at a time, so don’= ;t be surprised if those eventually appear on your front lawn.        &= nbsp;               =              =

        =             &nb= sp;       - FALL CLEANUP IN

MONTPELIER WOODS

      Once again= , the MWHOA joined Prince George’s County in its Area-Wide Neighborhood Clean-Up event which took place on September 29^th. And again, the response from homeowners to clean up our community was excellent. Many adults and ch= ildren were repeaters who had volunteered for the spring cleanup in April. While there was not as much debris= as there was in the Spring, one of our volunteers was able to convince the Cou= nty garbage collectors to remove a large number of tires and other bulk items t= hat had been dumped near the power lines.

LANDSCAPING/LAWN CARE & HOLIDAY
