WATCHBy:OUT
FOR THY NEIGHBORHOOD
Telia Madden, PCAM , CMCA , AMS Director of Operations
®
®
®
During the summer months we had an influx of canvassers in our neighborhoods. This year in particular it
seemed we heard from you that these canvassers were stating that they were sent out by the HOA office.
I can assure you that we (the HOA) haven’t seen anyone canvassing into our community. Since the majority
of the issues we had this past summer were from security companies, I can only guess that they were getting
the law enforcement reports for all the petty crimes going on in the York County neighborhoods this
summer and decided that it would be a good idea to come into Kiln Creek to solicit their services.
During the summer months petty crimes do seem to increase. This may be due to the nice weather and
the “would be criminals” hanging out later at night or it could be due to school being out of session
and youth having too much time on their hands. Whatever the case may be these issues do seem to be on
the rise during warm weather.
We still have some villages that are not involved in a neighborhood watch program or have not formed any
type of crime watch for their village. What is a NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH? It is an organized effort by
concerned residents to look out for each other’s safety, and to help law enforcement officers protect people
and their homes against criminals. Working together, neighbors learn how to safeguard each other’s homes
and reduce the risk of crime. They become more alert to unusual or suspicious circumstances, individuals,
or vehicles. They learn that it is better to call the police when they see something suspicious, even if their
suspicion proves unfounded, rather than to keep it to themselves and risk letting a neighbor be victimized.
Your neighborhood could simply form a phone tree or email tree so that when there is suspicious activity in
your village you can work together to get the word out. It doesn’t have to be a formal process but if you
would like information on how to form a formal neighborhood watch program for your neighborhood,
please call 591-4978 (NN) or 890-3642 (YC) and let the person who answers the phone know you want
more information on the neighborhood watch programs for your area. You might also want to attend our
National Night Out Event on Tuesday October 7th to meet with members of law enforcement in a social
setting. There also will be a brief presentation by law enforcement.
Who to notify in the event of a crime:
Call the Police-Non Emergency Phone number (NN 928-4295) (YC 890-3603) as the first step.
What the Police need to know: What happened? Where? When? How? Who did it?
If a vehicle was involved:
What was the license plate number? Color? Make? Model? Year? Which way did it go?
How many people were in the car? What was their sex? Race? Age? Height? Hair Color? Clothing? Any
type description you can give law enforcement is helpful.
Did you hear them say anything?
Look for these Signs:
A stranger entering a neighbor’s home that appears unoccupied (never leave your house unlocked)!
Anyone looking into parked cars (please don’t leave your car doors unlocked)!
Breaking glass, gunshots, screams or abnormally barking dogs.
Anyone loitering around the neighborhood.
Anyone going door to door, trying to open doors.
Any vehicle cruising slowly back and forth on the street.
Anyone sitting in a parked car, especially at an unusual hour.
What appears to be a stranger talking to a child or putting a child in a car.

McGruff® says…Take a bite out of Crime!
National Night Out 2014
Tuesday October 7, 2014
5:00-6:30 p.m.
What is National Night Out?
It is a crime prevention event sponsored by law
enforcement to help heighten crime awareness
and to support anti-crime programs. It also
helps to strengthen neighborhood spirit and law
enforcement partnerships. Kiln Creek wants
to send a message to criminals that we are
organized and united in our fight against crime
and we want to let them know we don’t
want them (criminals) in our community.
Please join us on Tuesday October 7th at
the Kiln Creek Recreation Center (picnic
area) at 5:00 p.m. for hotdogs and drinks and
discussions with neighbors and law enforcement
on how to combat crime in our community.
There will be fun stuff for the kids to do and a
possible appearance by McGruff the Crime Dog®
We’d love for you to join us. No need to bring
anything with you, chairs will be provided.
*For questions, phone the HOA office at
877-9835.
** Please take note that this event has been
changed from August to October in the
Hampton Roads area due to the
hot temperatures in August in this area.

COMMUNITY REVIEW UPDATE
By Laura Carnrike, CMCA®, Assistant Director
Happy Fall!! I hope everyone has enjoyed their summer this year! This year has been a very busy year
around the office. For those who had their reviews in March and April, I am just starting to get around to
your follow up reviews, while trying to finish up the first round reviews at the same time. Yes, that means
I have not gotten to some neighborhoods yet; so please don’t stop working hard on keeping your homes
beautiful! If your property is in compliance, you will receive a “passed” postcard again this year.
I know how hard it can be to try to get projects done on your home while trying to balance your family and
work time too. Since everyone’s lives are so hectic these days (including mine), I am always happy to work
with you on an extension; please don’t hesitate to call. **Please take note that since the initial reviews are
still being completed, the follow up reviews will be going on through the fall and winter.
Thank you for your continued efforts in maintaining your homes and I hope the extra time has benefited
you! Have a wonderful fall season!

TRICK OR TREAT SAFELY
Halloween is a kid’s delight. It’s a blast to dress up in costumes, go
trick-or-treating, attend parties and, most of all, eat candy!
At the same time, Halloween can be scary for parents. Costumes
can be dangerous, too much candy can be sickening and walking
around at night can be risky.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offer these tips (in anagram form) to make sure your little
ghouls and goblins have a safe Halloween:
S – Swords, knives and similar costume accessories should be short, soft and flexible.
A – Avoid trick-or-treating alone. Children should walk in groups or with a trusted adult.
F – Fasten reflective tape to costumes and bags to help drivers see trick-or-treaters.
E – Examine all treats for choking hazards and tampering before they’re eaten.
H – Hold a flashlight while trick-or-treating to help see and help others see you.
A – Always test make-up in a small area first. Remove it when done to avoid skin irritation.
L – Look both ways before crossing the street. Use established crosswalks wherever possible.
L – Lower the risk for serious eye injury by avoiding decorative contact lenses.
O – Only walk on sidewalks or on the far edge of the road facing traffic to stay safe.
W – Wear well-fitting masks, costumes and shoes to avoid blocked vision, trips and falls.
E – Eat only factory-wrapped candy. Avoid eating homemade treats unless you know the cook.
E – Enter homes only if you’re with a trusted adult.
N – Never walk near lit candles or other open flames. Be sure to wear flame-resistant costumes.
If you’re expecting trick-or-treaters:
† Consider providing non-traditional treats such as raisins, bags of popcorn, pencils, erasers, etc.
† Be sure walking areas and stairs are well-lit and free of obstacles that could cause falls.
† Keep candle-lit jack-o-lanterns and other open flames away from doorsteps, walkways, landings and
curtains. Place them on sturdy tables, keep them out of reach of pets and small children and never
leave them unattended.
† Drive safely and watch out for trick-or-treaters.
Daylight savings time change at 2 a.m.
on Sunday November 2nd. Set your clocks back
one hour at bed time on Saturday night November 1st.

Friendly Reminders from the Office
SELLING YOUR HOME?
Leaf Removal
The Virginia
Property
Owner’s Act
requires the
seller to obtain
from the
homeowners
association
a Disclosure
Package and to provide this to the
purchaser. The package contains
important information regarding your
community such as the budget, rules
and regulations, governing documents,
current cash in reserve accounts etc…
It also contains information about your
specific lot regarding any violations.
The purchaser may cancel the contract
within three (3) days after receiving the
Disclosure Package or being notified
that the package will not be available.
This is one of the reasons it is good
to order your package promptly. The
Association has 14 days to provide the
package once ordered. There is a $100
charge for the package and it must
be ordered and paid in full before the
package can be processed. *Please
note that the Association now conducts
on-foot front and backyard inspections
of your lot for the disclosure package.
You will be asked to sign a statement to
this effect when ordering your package.
As soon as you receive a written
contract to purchase your home, make
sure you order the package in a timely
manner by calling the HOA office at
757-877-9835.
It’s that time again when leaves are starting to
fall. We wanted to remind you that the piling
of un-bagged leaves on your curb is strictly
prohibited. By doing this, you are allowing your
leaves to blow through neighbors properties and
also allowing them to blow down our storm water
drains. These extra leaves will flow into our
lakes which can cause damage to our fountain
systems. Please be courteous and follow the
rules and bag your leaves. If it is noticed that
you are piling leaves on the curb, or placing
bags on the curb prior to the appropriate pick up
time, you will be considered in violation and will
receive prompt notice.
Newport News: All leaves must be
placed into clear plastic bags to be picked up
with bulk trash. Please do not place the bags
on your curb until 5:00pm the Sunday evening
before bulk trash pick up. Please remember
that bulk trash pick up is every other Monday
(October 13 & 27, November 10 & 24). You may
also place leaves in your regular trash bin to be
picked up on Wednesdays. (Only what will fit in
the bin will be picked up on Wednesdays, not
any extra bags.)
York County: York County does not have
a weekly bulk trash pick up service; therefore
they schedule a leaf pick up every two weeks.
All leaves must be placed into clear plastic
bags. Please DO NOT place leaves on the curb
until 5:00pm Sunday evening of the scheduled
pick up week. At the time of writing this article,
they have not set the starting date. Pick up
typically starts the first full week in November.
PLEASE contact Y.C. Solid Waste at 890-9780 to
find out the start date for your neighborhood.
****If you live in a private neighborhood,
please contact your management company for
proper disposal of leaves.
NO FISHING IN KILN CREEK
Please be reminded that there is no fishing in
any of the Kiln Creek lakes. We recently had our
annual fishing fun on September 6th during our
Community Day festivities. Since that day has
now come and gone, there is NO FISHING once
again. Please report any fishing to the HOA
office immediately.

Friendly Reminders from the Office
Questions and Answers
From the Office
Q.
A.
“They missed my trash can”:
There are certain times that your trash can
needs to stay on the curb a little longer, or
it might have even been missed during the
regular pick up; but there is no way for our
office to know of these circumstances. If for
any reason your trash can is on the curb before
or after the specific times, please contact our
office as soon as possible. This way we can
make sure you are not sent a notice. Trash can
and recycle bins are one of the most unsightly
things in our neighborhoods, yet we all need
them. We try very hard to make sure they are
not visible except when on the curb for pick up.
How do we participate in the
community yard sale?
No need to sign up for the yard sale,
just set up! Make sure to put out some
balloons on your neighborhood’s
entrance sign to show where a sale is
going to be. Please remember, no other
signs are permitted except on your own
lawn. We will also be putting an ad in
the newspaper. Don’t forget, if you live
in Newport News, you must go down
to the local police station to purchase
a yard sale permit for approximately
$5.00.
Q.
A.
Can we still get our rec passes even though the pool is closed?
Yes! Since the rec. passes are now for
more than just the swimming pools, you
may receive your pass all year long.
Please remember that all current passes
that have been lost will be replaced at a
$10 charge.
Q.
A.
When can we start putting up holiday/
seasonal/temporary decorations?
1) Seasonal decorations may be
displayed during the calendar year’s
seasonal dates.
2) Holiday (Halloween, Thanksgiving)
decorations may be displayed for up to
14 days before and 7 days after each
holiday.
3) Christmas and Hanukkah decorations
may be displayed from Thanksgiving to
January 10th of each year.
Q.
A.
How can we use the tennis courts?
Depending on which tennis courts you
want to use, you will need to go to one
of two paces; the HOA office for a key
to the courts by the Rec Center – ORthe K.C. Golf Club & Resort office for
a key to the courts at the golf club.
**Please note that if a key is lost, there
is a $25 replacement fee.
Pet Owners:
Please be mindful of others and clean up after
your pet. We receive complaints of this nearly
every week. Please curb your pets, and stay off
any lawns that you do not have permission to
go on. There are also doggy stations all along
the walking trails. Your assessments help pay
for this service, and pet waste is also a health
hazard. Remember, pets must be on a leash
and accompanied by a responsible person at
all times, except when in a fenced rear yard.
Pets shall not be tethered.
The HOA Office will be closed on
Thursday November 27th and Friday
November 28th in observance of

safe Thanksgiving!!

Retiring Old Glory
We are in desperate need of a volunteer from the community who could take over the job of retiring old glory (retired
flags). Our most recent volunteer has fallen ill and can no
longer do this job. If you are a boy scout or you have a son
who is or you are a member of the American Legion or another group that retires old flags, please contact us. We will
keep the community posted on this but if we do not get a
volunteer, we will no longer be able to accept retired flags.
VETERAN’S DAY
Tuesday, November 11th, we will observe Veteran’s Day.
Thank you to all the past, present and future veterans
for serving our great country! We salute you!

WE ARE THANKFUL FOR OUR HOMEOWNERS!
Telia Madden, PCAM®, CMCA®, AMS®, Director of Operations
Ahhh, fall, my favorite time of the year! I love the feel of the cool crisp air. It feels
like the beginning of something new! I suppose because it is a new school year
for the kids it reminds me of a beginning. By this time of year we are at the end
of the Kiln Creek spring/summer annual reviews from the HOA office. I know
some of you dread getting your review letters in the mail- but I wish you didn’t.
Imagine on your drive out of your village you see homes with shutters missing or a
front door where all the paint has peeled away. Imagine living on a street where
no one ever puts away their trash cans or each of your neighbors has a boat in
their driveway. You are very fortunate to live in such a beautiful community!
Think back to when you purchased here and realize that when you bought your
house you bought your neighborhood and a lifestyle that is more than just the lot you live on.
The Association staff is thankful as we approach the Thanksgiving holiday; for residents who receive their annual
review notices and realize it is just a reminder for them; not a blemish on a record or anything personal. We appreciate
you taking care of the issue. We are also thankful for you picking up those paint brushes and hammers before we’ve even
had time to reach your village for the review!
Again, as we approach the Thanksgiving holiday and all of the holidays forthcoming, think of the things you too are
thankful for. A lot of my friends this year took a challenge to think of three things each day that they are thankful for.
It really brings things into perspective when you list them daily. I personally am thankful for a loving family, dear
friends and a wonderful staff here at Kiln Creek. I am also thankful for my church family, my dog Samantha (who is
extremely human-like), for the patience to deal with teen-age boys and for having this job that never, ever gets boring!
What are you thankful for?

Voice of the Villages
Player’s Choice
By: Sandy Embry
Hello friends and neighbors of Player’s Choice. Fall is here and school is back in session, just a quick
reminder to please watch for children coming and going to the bus stop.
This past summer there were several reports of individuals reaming the neighborhood late at night, trying
car doors and doors and windows of empty homes. Please turn on your front porch light, lock your
car doors and do not leave anything of value in your car. Please close your garage doors, even if you are
at home; it only takes a few seconds for someone to take something. A reminder National Night Out
kickoff is October 4, 2014 at the Target parking lot from 10 am-2 pm. National Night out is October 7,
2014. The Kiln Creek Owners Association will host its Annual National Night Out at the KC Rec Center
beginning at 5:30 p.m. There will be members of law enforcement present and a brief presentation will
be made on Neighborhood Watch. Hot dogs will be served to the residents. Central Town Hall Meeting is
October 20, 2014 at 7 pm, at 100 James River Drive, Newport News (all residents are invited).

Rock Creek
On Community Day, Rock Creek held its 21st
annual Family Picnic. Our families enjoyed a wonderful evening of food and fellowship, along with
games for our children, prior to watching the fireworks from our Millstone cul-de-sac. To kick off
the event, we recognized Rock Creek’s winning golf
team that posted a score of 60 to successfully defend
our Community Golf Challenge title. This year’s
team captain, Major Corey Middel, emailed a copy
of this team photo to Kabul, Afghanistan to honor
last year’s winning captain, Major Casey Sere, who
is currently deployed. We look forward to having
Casey back to anchor our quest for a Three-peat. Thank you to our social committee for
planning another great picnic and we hope to see all Rock Creekers at our Oktoberfest in the
Driftwood Court cul-de-sac.

turkey’s head. Make two legs from paper and glue then to
the back of the body (or use pipe cleaners and tape them
to the back).
Glue the handprint “feathers” to the back of the turkey.
You can now decorate your house for Thanksgiving with
these cute turkeys. Don’t forget to put the child’s name
and age on the back of the turkey.

It’s Budget Season….
By: Megen McMichael, KCOA Board Treasurer
It is budget season around the Homeowners Association! What that means is the Board
sets up a ‘Budget Committee’ to start the work of reviewing and looking at the budget over
the past year(s) and see where we could save additional money or where perhaps we have
to increase money on certain line items to form our next year’s budget. For example, the
cost of gas for our maintenance vehicles may have gone up, or maybe we found a way to cut
costs on printing assessment coupons so that item would go down.
Once the Budget Committee meets, a draft budget is presented to the Board at the
September Board Meeting. From there, we make any requested tweaks based off of the
Board’s discussion and then present it at the Neighborhood Advisory Board (NAB) Meeting
in October. We have a discussion with the NAB members, again make any necessary tweaks
and then officially vote on it at the October Board Meeting. After the vote, it is placed on
the website and is available in the Homeowner’s Office for 14 days. After that time, it is
considered officially approved by the membership.
While that is the process, the staff is constantly reviewing the budget throughout the year for ways to increase
revenues and cut costs. This year was no different. Throughout the year, the staff and Board made decisions to do
just that. A sampling of what we have done this year is outlined below:
·
·
·
·
·
·
The administrative fee when a home is sold was raised from $600 to $700. This fee is paid by the purchaser
of the property and is direct income for the Association.
The rental cost of the recreation center was raised from $175 to $200 due to updates that were done. New
kitchen cabinets were installed, a backsplash, and new cabinet hardware. New décor and curtains were
installed and new sinks for the bathrooms in the rec center. Since Recreation Center rental is income on our
budget, it is important to keep the room as desirable as possible and after many years of not much updating,
it now has a new look that we feel the residents will appreciate.
We have changed the Courier to a ‘Green’ status which means we are not printing out the Courier at such a
volume as we have done in the past. Each Courier costs approximately $4,000 to print. In addition, costs
were saved on maintenance workers as they could focus on the day-to-day operations and not take a day
away from their work to deliver the Couriers. This initiative will be revisited towards the end of the year to
see if this will be a continued effort or if we will revert to the traditional print version. The Board decided
the initiative would only be done on a ‘trial basis’ through the end of the year.
We have been working to get a credit line that you only pay interest on to make needed repairs at the
golf course. A great deal of the items at the club are original and are in much need of replacement. Some
items such as the convection oven are very important items on the replacement list. The club depends
tremendously on its cooking appliances because that helps to generate revenue through banquets, etc.
The HOA has been working closely with the Golf Club to see where we can consolidate and save costs. We
have done that by:
o Handing down the HOA equipment when it is time to replace it, to the golf course to save
operating expenses at the golf course.
o Sharing a staff member to help with event coordination at both places.
We have developed committees to focus on certain line items that are budgeted at a high dollar amount or
are running over budget to see what we can do to reduce costs. Specifically:
o Lake Maintenance Line Item: We have hired an individual that is certified to spray the lakes so we
can do away with the lake maintenance treatment program because we will be able to do it in-house
now. When not working on the lakes, this individual is an asset to the Maintenance Staff.
o Legal Line Item: A committee has been established to review legal expenses and determine how we
can save costs in this area possibly looking at a retainer.
oOffice Space Line Item: The committee has been reviewing possible locations at the Golf Club to
move into permanently which would save approximately $69,000. We are hoping to achieve this
early in 2015; however the biggest challenge would be to transfer the camera monitoring system
from the current location to the new location at the Golf Club.
The Board is always interested in your input and suggestions on the budget process, ways to reduce costs
or increase efficiencies. Please feel free to share your ideas or ask questions by calling the HOA office or by
attending the monthly Board of Directors Meetings.
