IN THIS ISSUE
Dear Baycliff friends and neighbors,
I hope you will continue to enjoy the summer. While we
had temperatures that soared, many of us reached out and enjoyed the beach and waterways.
The Executive Board of the Baycliff Civic League has dealt
with a variety of issues. The area near the boat ramp, damaged in the early summer storms, has been cleaned. While we
will schedule a volunteer clean-up day, many of the heavy
branches have been removed.
I invite everyone to join us on Friday, September 16th for
the relaxing Sunset Dolphin Cruise and on Saturday, October
29th for our fun-filled Chili Cook-Off and Fall Festival. Come
meet and visit with your neighbors and enjoy the warm fellowship of living in Baycliff!
At the September 21st general membership meeting, the
new plans for the waterways will be discussed. Every member
should be involved. I look forward to seeing you in September.

the historic Cape Henry lighthouse. You’ll
see Navy warships and commercial tankers
in the bay, as well as the Chesapeake Bay
Bridge-Tunnel, designated an engineering
wonder of the modern world in 1965!
The Chesapeake Bay is a bird watchers
paradise, but best of all are the DOLPHINS!
The Chesapeake Bay is called "Dolphin

BAYCLIFF ENTRY LOOKS BEAUTIFUL
Janice Ray, NEW Baycliff Landscaping Co-Chairman
Our front entry flower beds have looked great all season. The lovely
begonias were carefully selected and generously planted this spring by
hard working volunteers, whose actions demonstrate their dedication to
keeping Baycliff beautiful. Sincerest thanks to Missy Friske, Janice
Ray, Betty Douglas, Pam Fox, Marian Buis, Janie Cecelic, Deni Brown and Frances Zahn.
We are also very grateful for Bob Swink’s hard work. Bob spent many hot hours this spring and
summer spraying the parking lot and boat ramp area with weed killer. In addition, we appreciate
Landscaping Co-Chairmen Jack Donahue and Barbara Hancock, who oversee the Baycliff entry landscaping and who make certain the sprinkler system always works and that the front entry’s
landscaping is well maintained. After many years of service, Barbara Hancock, has now retired,
and Janice Ray has stepped up to take her place as Landscaping Co-chairman. THANK YOU
ALL VERY MUCH!
Baycliff still needs volunteers for the fall months of September through November, to weed
the entry flower beds and also, to plant pansies in November. If you are willing to weed the front
entry for 1/2 hour, one day sometime during the fall months, we would be most grateful. Please
call Janice Ray at 481-7799. Two workers are needed per week. Come work for 1/2 hour anytime, whenever is most convenient for you! This regular attention has proven very successful in
keeping our entry looking lovely. Thank you for working with us to keep Baycliff looking its best!

D.I.Y. RENOVATION WAS A LABOR OF LOVE
The Virginian-Pilot, April 20, 2011, Correspondent: Toni Guagenti
Even a 3 1/2-inch framing nail in his right forefinger
didn't deter Bill Seith from completely refurbishing the
kitchen and living room in the family's Baycliff subdivision
rancher in Virginia Beach. It also showed him he could research any job and get it done, from concrete counters to
rewired lighting.
In 2006, Bill and wife, Kelly Seith, had a nine-month
window in which they could get the kitchen and living room
together. That's when Kelly would deliver the couple's first
son, Logan, who will be 5 in September. The daunting
overhaul included ripping out the entire kitchen, from ceiling
to subfloor, and tearing out a 22-foot wall that separated
the kitchen with an enclosed patio. Bill had some help from
his Navy Seal buddies, but other than that, he did the bulk
of the work himself with Kelly's moral support.
The project, which included the living room and tiling
Bill and Kelly Seith in the Virginia Beach kitchen that Bill built with
the foyer, cost the couple $45,000. That included $10,000
a 9-month deadline before the arrival of the couple's first child.
to build a brick wall to separate the kitchen from the deck,
and $18,000 for cherry cabinets for the kitchen, wet bar and island.
"I had no idea how much it was going to cost, even with me doing it," Bill said. "I was so naive." He slowly
turned that naiveté into solid knowledge by thoroughly researching every task. Bill had stacks of books and
DVDs around the house and would watch them multiple times to figure out the task at hand.
Kelly was amazed at her husband's attention to detail and dedication to finishing the job. "I'm proud of
him," she said.
Bill says his biggest learning curve was the ceiling, which required two laminated beams for structural support and a steel bar in the middle of the kitchen, which is now hidden with a matching cherry red column. He
also discovered the ceiling was uneven, from where the enclosed patio met the kitchen, when he went to install joints. He eventually ended up erecting plywood sheets instead of tongue-in-groove to save costs.
Other jobs included installing 1,000 feet of Brazilian cherry flooring in the living room and kitchen, installing a wet bar and new appliances (all of which required an overhaul of the kitchen's plumbing), rewiring the
electrical, putting up glass tile as a back splash to the sink and making the custom concrete counter tops.
Bill repeatedly watched a DVD to learn how to accomplish the latter. He created the counter's massive
slabs in the garage, which has the stains to prove it, Kelly said. Bill also added geode inlays into the concrete
and mixed it with a color stain and fiberglass fibers for strength. He collected the smooth, crystallized rocks on
work trips, including to Columbia and Key West.
Other jobs at the Seith house have followed, including a new deck and redone bathroom. More will follow
after Bill retires in 2012. He already has received his contractor's license, and plans to start his own business
in Hampton Roads.
The extended renovation also led the do-it-yourself enthusiast to create his own DIY website,
www.Handyman-do-it-yourself.com, where he has compiled all that he learned - and then some. It's a onestop website for folks like him, the Virginia Beach man said. "It's a labor of love," Bill said.
IN HIS OWN WORDS
Budget: $35,000, but it ended up costing $45,000. I can understand why contractors come back to their customers and say they need
more money for an unforeseen problem.
Cost-saving tips: Manual labor is probably the most expensive part of doing a big project. Make some deals with your friends and
neighbors (even if they’re not handy) to help with things like demolition or laying out flooring with the promise of helping them on their next
DIY project. Also, don’t think you have to purchase everything from one of the big home centers. Shop around on the internet for things
like sinks, faucets, or light fixtures.
Biggest challenge: Constructing the brick wall outside of the kitchen onto the deck. I’d never done brick before, and it’s not as easy as it
looks. Unlike wood construction, it’s harder to take down and start over if you made a mistake!
Highlight : The concrete counter tops. Each one took an average of two weeks to make with curing time and the grinding and polishing.
Best advice: Make safety a top priority! Make sure you have eye protection, gloves, or other protective gear. Also, know your power tools.
Lastly, do not underestimate how much work you’re about to take on.

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH
Sharon Haring, Neighborhood Watch Coordinator
If you notice suspicious activity, please call the police! For a crime in
progress or activities of concern, please call 911 immediately. Your quick
actions may save you or a neighbor from being victimized. If you discover
you are a victim of crime, but an immediate response is not indicated, please call the police as soon as possible at 385-5000, Option #1. This is the Virginia Beach Emergency Communication Center, and you will
speak to a dispatcher. It is very important that you file the brief crime report, as this allows the police to determine patterns of crime in our area, is the basis for additional patrol cars being sent out to prevent future
incidents, and is a requirement for property loss insurance claims.
Once you have spoken to the police, notify Neighborhood Watch Coordinator Sharon Haring at 481-5508
or contact her at [email protected] so she can broadcast a Baycliffwatch message throughout the
neighborhood so residents can take protective actions to prevent further incidents.
WARMEST THANKS TO ALL OF OUR BLOCK CAPTAINS!
We sincerely thank Phyllis Cox for her devoted service as a neighborhood block captain! With her
family’s recent move to California, Phyllis tendered her resignation. Phyllis and her husband Ernie are
wished the very best in their new home! Joan Fowler has graciously added Phyllis’s homes (Baycliff Court,
Baycliff Circle and 1372, 1376, 1380, 13843, 1388, 1392, 1305, and 1396 Baycliff Drive) to her assignment
for a total of 29 homes. Joan, thank you very much! If anyone is interested in assisting Joan, please call
Sharon Haring at 481-5508.
ABRC POOL & SWIM TEAM NEWS
Hello to all of our ABRC Family,
Well this summer surely has been a hot one both in and out of the water, from our Mighty
Bolt Swimmers to all of our activities "down" at the pool!. I would like to thank and congratulate
all of our Bolts as our Head Coach, Brianna Hohman, and her coaching staff lead a team mixed with both
young and experienced swimmers on a very successful campaign. Fifty-five of our "Bolts" represented
ABRC at the VBSL Divisionals, while thirty-nine of those same swimmers went onto All Stars! Fantastic
job to all and well done! Special thanks to Jennifer Dye, who after many years of leading our swimmers
and swim families as Swim Team Representative, has decided to step down and simply become a "swim
mom." Thanks from all of us, Jennifer, for your years of service! Also thanks to all of our swim volunteers,
staff, and coaches who ensured as always, that the Alanton Baycliff Swim Team experience is one that
our swimmers will never forget!
Now let’s discuss the "cool" stuff. As promised, your Board of Directors, set on a theme this season
to not have you worry about the fun part of the pool. We would take care of that - and if I can say, I think
they are doing a great job! Thanks to the tremendous efforts of Steve Zahn, Carrie Duffy, and Will
Layton. Collectively, these three have brought you Friday's "Grill and Chill," Atlas Diner Sponsorship,
which has provided healthy alternatives to our snack bar, a Family Night Barbecue, and at the end of the
day, just some cool times during a really hot summer.
As always our staff, lead by Kim McCanna and Troy Harrell have been keeping the pool in tip top
shape, making ABRC arguably the best place to swim in Virginia Beach. Thanks to all!
Well, stay tuned, as we will continue to work hard to make sure this season "Down at the Pool" is one
of our best - and it is only going to get better! As we enter into the final month of our season, rest assured
your Directors and Staff at ABRC will begin to plan for the next season, making sure we keep the momentum of a great summer season going! We will continue to bring to you, the members, the best possible
pool we can provide. Thanks as always!
Joe Ruddy, President, ABRC

2011 SHARE YOUR LIGHT NIGHT
Join us for Baycliff’s Tenth Annual Luminary Lighting!
A CITY-WIDE CELEBRATION ON SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10TH
Baycliff Luminaria Chairman: Debbie Stephens
Nine years ago, Baycliff began its beautiful tradition of lighting luminaries along
Neighborhood streets one special evening during the holiday season. Every year, participation
has increased with more families setting candles alight. Our goal is to bring residents throughout our neighborhood together in friendship and to promote civic pride.
Three years after our Baycliff luminary event started, Brenda Armitage, a resident of Carolanne Farms, organized a luminary lighting for her neighborhood. Carolanne Farms’ luminary
lighting was also successful, and she approached the Virginia Beach Council of Civic Organizations (VBCCO) the following year about making holiday luminaria lighting an annual city-wide
event for all Virginia Beach neighborhoods. So began the city-wide Share Your Light Night!
This year, Baycliff plans to again join our fellow civic leagues and associations throughout
Virginia Beach for this inspiring city-wide luminaria celebration. What an amazing opportunity
for neighbors and communities throughout Virginia Beach to unite and enjoy the spirit of the
season together! The Baycliff Civic League will distribute luminary bags to all households late
in November, and we ask that you set up bags on your street and light the candles in your luminaries at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 10, 2011. Please mark your calendar today!
Participate and make plans to stroll Baycliff that evening so you can fully appreciate this breathtakingly beautiful and awesome sight.
Help will be needed in putting together sets of luminary bags and distributing the kits. If
you can help, please e-mail [email protected] or call Debbie Stephens at 481-3133.

A LITTLE BIT ON WORKING WITH THE CITY
Susan Moritz
Snapshot – 1998 – We had moved into our
home on Hidden Cove the previous summer.
Now it was raining and down the street comes
water, a lot of water, and more water – next
thing we know, the water is running down our
driveway and washing out part of our yard and
parking pad… Well, that was the first time – for
us. The neighbors had lived with it since they
built their house! Not that no one ever called
the City – they did! And apparently the City did
Marsh grass is floating away. Boats and jet skis need to

proceed slowly in grassy areas to prevent damaging wakes.
from our neighbors and friends, and so the City
(in this case, probably the school department) put a Best Management Practice Pond (usually called a “BMP”
for short) in the back of Alanton Elementary School in 2008 – where a lot of the water had flooded over yards
and into Lanais and pools on Baycliff Drive near the intersection with Hidden Cove, before making a little lake
at the low point on Hidden Cove and then overflowing into driveways, yards, etc. Well, the BMP did not solve
the problem, and in 2008 and again in 2010 our yard, the neighbor’s garages and yard, were again flooded
and damaged by a deluge. OK – now what?
Well, we needed a new cover for our sewer access in the City easement, and so I drove down to the City
Offices on Dam Neck (near Rosemont) and asked around for the sewer cover (I brought the old broken one
to assure that I got the correct size – a “must” by the way). Well, a very nice gent helped me and we walked
through the yard full of metal pipes and pipe covers and picked up a cover. And I asked about who I needed
to see to address a street flooding issue. And he pointed me to some other offices and I explained the flooding to two sympathetic ears. Based on discussions and emails, it became apparent that a letter would be
needed to begin to get some attention – so, I did some exploration and then wrote one. A four pager – with
13 enclosures of color photos – of flooding in garages, of opening the storm water cover, flooding over my
husband’s boots, a very strong vortex going down the stormwater drain, etc. Now, who to send it to? City of
Virginia Beach (good, now what?) An engineer in the Planning and Estimating Department (OK, another hole,
now what)? Oh, to the deputy city manager, the City Engineer, our councilman, a councilman at large, and
neighbors assembled. Everyone in the City who received the letter forwarded it to (drum roll please) Ms. Jessica Winterwerp – who has focused attention on the problem. Ms. Winterwerp has walked the street and
through yards with me. So, we have the easy quick assist of the “trash racks” over the storm water access in
the Alanton schoolyard BMP (which did appear to help drain water into the storm drain this last April). And,
the storm water system has been cleaned out (there was some crud in it – I don’t really know the overall condition of it). And Miss Utility marked the relevant yards. And the City is now surveying the storm water drain,
and lo and behold, the system was not installed as indicated on the plans. Two neighbors have storm drain
covers in their yards, one of which was under about 3 feet of dirt and no one knew it was there – and the survey isn’t finished. So, the jury is still out as to the ultimate solution or cause of the flooding. Most likely solution will be adding two additional points of access to the storm water system (a second entrance and pipe to
the creek between 1521 and 1525 Hidden Cove and another point along the storm drain in the street). And
depending on the cost of the fix, it may take another year or two to fix it (yup, the City has to file the same
permits with the Corps and VMRC as the rest of us). But, it is getting fixed. If you really want to know more,
please email me at [email protected] , not Ms. Winterwerp. Thank you!
The Moral of the Story – phone calls are nice (always get the reference number), but if it is really important and you want to get it done, write a letter, with pictures. And give copies of it to affected neighbors. And
work with the City to stay up on the solution. The City really does have excellent, knowledgeable engineers
and managers – they just get hit with so many problems at once sometimes that without a solid point like a
letter, it’s hard to know which problem is the worst. Please don’t yell at them – it doesn’t help! Please keep
your yard trash on your lawn until the night before trash pick-up, and wait until morning if it is going to rain
before yard trash pick-up. Above all, please don’t block the storm drains!!!
