WARNING WOODLEA RESIDENTS-ACID BOMB FOUND ON PROPERTY

Warning to Woodlea Residents

On Saturday evening, September 4th, an acid bomb was found by the driveway on the Wenkels property (1445 Hague Drive). It had exploded and was partially melted, and a bad smell was coming from the bottle. Usually acid bombs are in 2 litre bottles, but this one was a small sized soda bottle. The Wenkels called the police, and they confirmed that is was an acid bomb. They took it as evidence and filed a report. Please tell your children that if they see a soda bottle (any size) in their yard, or someone else’s yard, DO NOT TOUCH SMALL OR LARGE SODA BOTTLES. Tell your child to inform an adult and to call the police right away at 703.771.4500.

Dear HOA and Community Leaders:

It appears we have a serial stabber in our midst, who has stabbed three black men (all of whom are recovering) within the past week. The crimes appear to be racially motivated, and this person has apparently stabbed people in Flint, MI (some of whom died).

The news release from the police dept. is pasted below, and attached. I would appreciate it if you would post this to your respective email lists, HOA discussion boards, etc. However, please be assured the police are handling this so they can bring this nut to justice.

Thanks!

Ken Reid

Leesburg Police Urge Residents to Take Safety Precautions

Leesburg, VA (August 9, 2010) – In the wake of three assault incidents in the Town of Leesburg during the past week, Leesburg Police are urging residents to be alert to their surroundings and to report any suspicious activity.

The following are a series of personal safety tips offered by the Leesburg Police:

· Be aware of your surroundings at all times.

· Avoid areas that are abandoned, secluded or poorly lighted.

· When walking, jogging or running, go with a partner.

· If you do go alone, tell a family member or friend where you will be and when you expect to be back.

· Carry a cell phone with you.

· Don’t wear earphones that can reduce your ability to hear someone coming up from behind you.

· Report any suspicious activity to law enforcement immediately.

The Leesburg Police Department’s non-emergency phone number is 703-771-4500.

“We want people to go on with their normal lives,” Leesburg Police Chief Joe Price emphasized. “But we also want residents to take reasonable precautions to stay safe.”

1. Woodlea resident reported the following that happened this afternoon. Two guys walking around neighborhood telling people they are UVA students selling books for school trip and books go to Children’s Hospital. The one guy said he lives here. The resident showed him the directory and his name not there. Then he said they rent. Pointed wrong direction to the street he named. The Woodlea resident asked for their UVA ID’s and he said the book company made them give them to them as collateral. Remember, ALL SOLICITORS should have a valid solicitor’s license that should be visible at all times. Place a No Solicitor’s Sign in your Window. You can go to the Community Watch Website and print one.

2. Also, another resident reported their two cars were unlocked and they believe teens took loose change totally $10.

Update: 2010 Pool Rules and Applications

Update: Below is the revised cover letter.

For the first time this year, we are not mailing the pool rules to everyone. Check the Woodlea Manor Pool page for more information about the 2010 season.

Here are direct links to the rules document and applications for pool membership:

2010 Pool Rules & Regulations
2010 Pool Pass Application

Here is text from the cover letter for the Pool Rules Document:

Dear Woodlea Manor Conservancy Homeowner:
We are getting ready for the pool season! The pool opens on Saturday May 29th at 11a.m. The hours of operation
for the season are listed in the 2010 Rules and Regulations for the Woodlea Manor Recreational Facilities.

If you have not yet done so, you will need to complete an application so that pool passes and the 2010 validation
stickers can be issued for your family. A form is available on this website that can be downloaded. The
completed form can be mailed, emailed or faxed to us. Please make sure that you provide all of the requested
information including emergency contacts. Don’t forget that your pool passes and validation stickers cannot be
issued until your account with Woodlea Manor Conservancy is in paid in full.

If we already have your pool pass application from prior years, then the 2010 pool stickers for your family
members will be mailed to you. If you have any updates, like new family members, you can include them on the
application form and we will issue additional passes.

Please note that you will need to present your pool pass in order to enter the facility. This policy will be
strictly enforced, so please remember to bring your passes with you. The cost to replace a lost or damaged
pool pass is $5.00. If someone in your family needs a new pass, please let us know.

This year, for the first time, the pool rules and regulations will not be mailed to each household. Instead, they will
be posted here on the web site. We ask that you take the time to read them go over them with your children before
the season begins.

We are looking forward to an exiting and enjoyable summer.

Sincerely,
Pamela Ward
Pamela Ward, Managing Agent for
Woodlea Manor Conservancy
