BOARD/COMMITTEES
COMMUNITY CODE NO 15 “ASSOCIATION COMPLAINT PROCEDURES”
The Office of the Ombudsman has been in existence since July 2008. The ombudsman was named by the Commonwealth in October 2008 and the Virginia Common Interest Community Board (CICB) adopted regulations addressing the role of the ombudsman in November 2009. The regulations were approved by Governor McDonnell and became effective July 1, 2012.
In addition to clarifying the role of the ombudsman, the ombudsman regulations establish criteria for an internal complaint procedure which must be adopted by every community association in the Commonwealth. The internal complaint procedure is intended solely to address complaints of violations of laws and government regulations by a community association, its board of directors or its managing agent. (Complaints of regulations or rules or recorded governing documents by owners are handled by a separate policy; Stone Ridge Community Code No 4 “Due Process” is that policy.)
Boards were required to adopt these procedures within 90 days of the effective date (September 28, 2012). Working with legal counsel, the Stone Ridge Board of Directors fulfilled the state requirement with the approval of Community Code No. 15 “Association Complaint Procedure.” The full community code was published in the August newsletter and can be found on www.srnet.cc under the Resource Center, Community Code tabs.
Please remember this complaint procedure is used if you believe the association is in violation of the state law, i.e. not holding open meetings, not providing resale disclosure packets, etc.
If you have concerns regarding the Stone Ridge Governing Documents or Design & Maintenance Standards or other association policy, please contact the association office at 703-327-5179 or email [email protected].

ELECTRONIC VOTING BACK AGAIN FOR 2012 STONE RIDGE ELECTIONSStone Ridge will offer an electronic voting option again this year for the 2012 Stone Ridge Board of Directors Election. Last year, the number of votes cast for the Stone Ridge Elections more than doubled thanks to the ease of online voting. While a paper ballot option will still be available, it’s time to switch to a faster, safer, and more convenient option of online voting! Some of the advantages of online voting are:
• Speed – Voting is quick and easy
• Smart – No voter fraud
• Safe and Secure – Protected by technology and hardware
• Reliable – Unbiased and independent
• Convenient – Vote anytime from anywhere
Here’s what to expect: You will receive a packet in the mail at the end of October. This packet will include the Annual Meeting Notice (taking place on Thursday, November 15th), Annual Meeting Agenda, Eligibility to Vote, Proxy Instructions, Annual Meeting Proxy Form, Directions for Online Voting Using Votenet, and Candidate Biographies.
After reviewing all of the information in the packet, you will need to decide whether or not you want to vote using paper, proxy, or electronically through Votenet.
Every lot is allowed to cast one vote using one of the methods listed above.
More information and step-by-step directions regarding electronic voting through Votenet will be provided in the November issue of Etched in Stone.

AMAZING LANDSCAPING
Over the past few months, many Stone Ridge residents have been busy planting, pruning, and making landscaping improvements. Here are some photos of a few great looking yards in the community!
CALL BEFORE YOU DIG
Fall is a great time for landscaping, planting trees, and installing decks and patios. Did you know that it’s the law to call Miss Utility before you dig? In Virginia, you can dial 811 or 1-800-552-7001 to notify participating utilities of the upcoming excavation work so they can locate and mark their underground facilities in advance to prevent possible damage to underground utility lines, injury, property damage, and service outages.
When should I call? Homeowners should contact Virginia 811 at least 3 working days (excluding weekends and legal holidays) before any digging project. The call center is open from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on weekdays.
Why should I call? If you are planning any type of digging project, you should call just to be on the safe side. Many utilities such as cable television lines are buried close to the surface. While it might not be life threatening, you’d hate to miss the big game because you were planting begonias. There is no cost to the homeowner for the service.
I hired a contractor. Should I still call 811? It is the contractor’s responsibility to call before digging. Be insistent on this because you are the one who will be endangered or inconvenienced if your contractor hits a utility. Everyone wants their projects completed promptly, however, allowing time for the marking is just good sense. So don’t forget, call 811 before you dig!Source: www.va811.com

The Loudoun County school system has added 3,000 students each year for the past 12 years. As new schools have opened, infrastructure often needs to wait for funding to catch up.

The proceeds will be distributed between Aldie Elementary, Arcola Elementary, Buffalo Trail Elementary, Hutchison Farm Elementary, Pinebrook Elementary, Liberty Elementary, Little River Elementary, J Michael Lunsford Middle, Mercer Middle, John Champe High School, and Freedom High School.
The 5K Race will begin at 9:00 a.m. behind the Stone Ridge Village Center, followed by the Fun Run at 9:15 a.m. This is a family-friendly event with abundant prizes and a flat, fast course, making it ideal for everyone, including walkers.Registration is available on the day of the race (starting at 7:00 a.m.); however, early online or mail away registration is recommended in order to avoid long lines.

Online registration closes on October 18th at 11:00 a.m. To register online, visit www.stoneridgeva5k.org.

NATURAL GAS PIPELINE MAINTENANCE
Dominion Transmission, Inc. owns and operates an underground natural gas pipeline that runs through parallel to the power line easement for 28 miles through Fauquier, Prince William, and Loudoun Counties. Part of this pipeline runs through Stone Ridge.
Dominion Transmission began performing routine maintenance in September and the project is scheduled to continue over the next several months to enhance the level of corrosion protection on the pipeline. They will be installing approximately 7 miles of grounding cable beneath the surface alongside the pipeline. They will also need to install additional test strands at various locations along the pipeline in order to monitor the integrity of the cathodic protection system. All of the work will
take place within the existing easement and they will utilize existing roads to access the pipeline. Upon completion of the work, the affected areas will be restored to their original condition.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Dominion Transmission at (724)387-5567.
STAY SAFE TRICK-OR-TREATING
A few simple safety tips from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission can protect children who plan to go trick-or-treating this Halloween.
First, when purchasing a costume, masks, and wigs, look for a label that indicates that the product is flame resistant. To minimize the risk of contact with candles or other sources of ignition, avoid costumes made with flimsy materials and outfits with baggy sleeves or billowing skirts.
It is also important to purchase costumes that are light and bright enough to be clearly visible to motorists. In order to increase visibility, children should carry flashlights.
Young children should always be accompanied by an adult or an older, responsible child. All trick-or-treaters should walk, not run, from house to house and use the sidewalk if available.Children should only to go homes where residents are known and have outside lights on as a sign of welcome. Make sure your child knows never to enter a home unless they are accompanied by an adult.
It is also important to warn children not to eat any treats before an adult has carefully examined them for evidence of tampering.
For further information on product safety, you may call the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s toll-free hotline, (800) 638-2772.

THREE THINGS EVERY TEEN DRIVER SHOULD KNOW
Now that schools are back in session, many teens will be driving to and from school, to after schools jobs, and to Friday night football games. Here is some valuable information from Virginia Tire and Auto that every teen driver should know about their vehicle.
A FLAT TIRE; WHAT TO DO?
Taking the time to get familiarized with how to put on a spare will give anyone the confidence they need to complete the task in an emergency situation. Begin by locating the vehicle’s owner’s manual. The manual offers detailed instructions on how to change the wheel and where to locate the spare tire, the jack and other tools specific to the car. Most importantly, all drivers should pull off to a safe area; the side of any roadway is extremely dangerous, so be certain to be away from traffic and be visible at all times.
THE PROPER WAY TO JUMP-START A BATTERY:
All cars should be stocked with jumper cables. Refer to the owner’s manual for the jump-start procedure. Jump-starting a vehicle requires a second car; instruct teen drivers to seek assistance from a friend or law enforcement officer, but never from a stranger.
Remember to attach the red cable clamps to the positive terminals of each vehicle’s battery, and the black clamp to the negative terminal on the donor car and, on the dead car, to an unpainted metal surface under the hood that is not a moving part. A bolt head usually works well. Start the donor car, turn off the lights and electrical accessories on the dead car, and turn the key. If nothing happens, check to see that the black cable is on a good ground on the dead car. If it’s still a no-go, maybe the starter is shot. Then call for a tow truck.
HOW TO CHECK THE TIRES AIR PRESSURE:
Use a tire air pressure gauge to check the tire’s air pressure; gauges can be purchased for a few dollars at most auto parts stores.
Refer to the owner’s manual to learn the recommended PSI the tires should be inflated to; this information can also be found on a decal inside the driver’s side door. Start by placing the air pressure gauge onto the tire’s valve stem, the pencil-width air nozzle on the side of the tire. Place the gauge evenly onto the valve stem. This will allow air to escape, but once you firmly press the gauge down on the valve stem, it will stop the air flow and give the gauge a reading, either by blowing out the metered stick with a traditional gauge, or a reading with a digital model gauge. If any of the tires are underinflated, find the nearest auto service facility, whether it is a gas station or repair shop that has a source of air. Many of these pumps are quarter operated, so be sure to have some change available.
Choose the first tire to fill, get your air hose ready and deposit the coins into the air machine. Then, fit the air hose nozzle onto the tire stem. When you start to place the air hose onto the tire stem, it will hit a pin inside the stem and start leaking air. You know when you have the air hose nozzle on correctly when the air stops leaking.
It is important to have the gauge handy and to take the hose off somewhat frequently to check the pressure. Do not over-inflate your tires; this can be avoided using small bursts of air between tire checks. Once you have the tires properly inflated, replace the stem caps by screwing them back on. Be careful not to over-screw them, as they will break on the top. Tire pressure should be checked weekly. Particularly with severe weather and temperature swings, tire pressure should be monitored and maintained regularly for safe and fuel-efficient driving.

SEE WHAT’S HAPPENING AT ARCOLA ELEMENTARY
The 2012 school year has officially begun. Here’s what’s happening at Arcola Elementary in October!
FALL FESTIVAL: The Arcola Elementary School PTA will be sponsoring their annual Fall Festival on Saturday, October 13th
from 2:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. The community is invited to come enjoy carnival games, bounce houses, food, and more. Please join us for some great fun and to help support our local schools!
STONE RIDGE 5K: The Stone Ridge 5K is just around the corner (Saturday, October 20th) and we need your help! Points will be
given to Arcola Elementary for each volunteer as well as each race registration (when you indicate “ARCOLA” as your school on the registration form.) Registration can be done both on-line and by mailing in the Registration Form. Visit link for details: http://cmsweb2.lcps.org/Page/66061
For those of you who do not attend Arcola Elementary, we still need your help! Please consider volunteering or running the race! Come support the Stone Ridge community!
TRACK UPDATE: Arcola Elementary PTA is raising funds to build a track behind the school. LCPS did not provide a track at our school and will not fund one. The school and the community must raise the money ourselves. Consider donating to the Arcola Track Fund! It’s tax-deductible and will benefit our entire community! Contact Jeannette Thatcher, PTA President at [email protected] or 703-327-9964 for more information. Thank you for your support!
JOHN CHAMPE HIGH SCHOOL PTSA NEEDS YOU!

Bricks will sell for $100 each for a 4x8 inch brick engraved with your child’s name and graduation year. Businesses and individuals can also have their name with the year of their donation.
The net proceeds from all brick sales will go to fund the John Champe High School PTSA which provides support for educational and social activities for the students that are not covered by the county budget.

GUM SPRING LIBRARY TO OPEN FEBRUARY 2013
There is some good news and some bad news regarding the Gum Spring Library in Stone Ridge. The good news is that construction is coming along and the inside of library is starting to take shape! The library will be 40,000 square feet, spanning two stories, and will hold 90,000 volumes available for circulation. Most of the entire downstairs will be devoted to the children’s section. There is a grand staircase in the middle of the space that leads to the upstairs which will have a “café” concept with plenty of space to sit and read. Also on the second floor, there will be a large teen center with a game room and study rooms.
The bad news is that the library’s grand opening has been pushed back until February 2013. The staff has made the decision to get everything done right so the library can be fully operational on day one. The date for the grand opening is expected to be announced soon.
To register for your Loudoun County Public Library Card so you can check out books as soon as the library opens, please visit http://library.loudoun.gov/Default.aspx?tabid=236.

If you aren’t sure which polling location is yours, you can visit http://www.loudoun.gov/index.aspx?NID=201 to see a map of the polling area for each location.
All polling locations are open from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Election Day; Tuesday, November 6, 2012.
IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING
The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office reminds residents that if you see something, say something.
If you see a suspicious person or vehicle that you are not familiar with in your community, or if you see suspicious activity or possible vandalism, please call the Loudoun County
Sheriff’s Office non-emergency line at 703-777-1021. A deputy will respond to the area to determine if the person or vehicle should be in your community, or if a crime has taken place. The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office also reminds residents to take these steps to help deter thefts from vehicles:
• KEEP YOUR VEHICLE LOCKED. Most stolen items are taken from vehicles that are left unlocked.
• Remove all items from your vehicle, including garage door openers, when not in use. When you cannot do this, put the items out of sight (inside a lockable glove box or trunk). If your vehicle has an integrated garage door opener, please try to park your vehicle in the garage.
• A visible GPS unit is an obvious target, but car prowlers also look for any signs that one may be inside your vehicle, such as a mount on the window or dashboard. Even the circle impression left on the windshield from the suction cup mount is enough for thieves to break-in. They assume a GPS is hidden somewhere inside. Please try to rid your unattended vehicle of all tell-tale signs.
• Park inside your garage, if available, and keep the garage locked. Or, try to park your vehicle near or under an illuminated area.
Residents are also encouraged to register high-dollar items such as GPS units, tablets, laptops and MP3 players with the manufacturer and have the serial number available for the responding deputy if a theft occurs. This may assist with recovering the item in the event of a larceny.
Report suspicious activity by calling 703-777-1021. In an emergency, DIAL 911.
STONE RIDGE POLLING LOCATIONS
With the Presidential election drawing near, it’s time to start to figure out where your polling location is for the big day.
Stone Ridge has two polling places within the Dulles District. The first is Arcola Elementary School (41740 Tall Cedars Parkway) and the second is Mercer Middle School (42149 Greenstone Drive).

The End of Summer Luau was a HUGE success even though the event had to be moved into the clubhouse due to rain. But here at Stone Ridge, we don’t let a little rain ruin our fun! Over 300 residents enjoyed a taste of the islands (and very popular chocolate fountain), played Hawaiian games including pineapple bowling and limbo, and made their own leis! To cap off the evening, attendees were dazzled with a performance by authentic hula and fire dancers!
The luau was the perfect way for Stone Ridge friends and neighbors to get together and celebrate the end of a wonderful summer.
This event would not have been possible without the support of our sponsors: Kravitz Orthodontics, Van Metre Homes, Aldie Veterinary Hospital, HCA of Northern Virginia, The Cornerstone Church, and Mug n` Muffin. Also, a big thank you Cross Pointe Church for providing a group of wonderful volunteers!
Thank you all for making this event one to remember!
