Hello Everyone! Let me start with a lit-tle bit about myself. My name is Dan Feer and my wife Kim and I moved to Chantilly Highlands last May. We're very excited to have good neighbors and to be part of a caring community. We're both in-terested in taking an active role in maintain-ing and improving our community, but I jumped in first as a member of the board and the chair of the Land Management Committee. You can look forward to Kim becoming more involved in the near future! In this article I wanted to discuss a couple of issues regarding the common areas, en-croachment, and the bi-annual community survey. Chantilly Highlands is graced with ex-tensive and beautiful common grounds. Much of this land is maintained through the goodwill of those who live adjacent to it. Our community also contracts with a lawn service to mow and maintain the more pub-lic areas. Some of the land is not maintained by anyone since it is heavily wooded and we preserve it in its natural state.

(Continued from page 1) with, and what we need to do maintain the quality of our neighborhood and the value of our homes. In late June/early July the Board will be conducting its bi-annual com-munity "review of homeowner properties" as required by CHHA policy and compiling a summary of what we find. The goals are to identify areas where property use (of both common and individually owned areas) might not conform to the covenants and by-laws of our community so that they can be clarified, to give guidance to those that may be not have received approval for changes, and

to determine what additional changes might be in order. Chantilly Highlands is a dynamic community. Each of us can choose to contribute to the community by participat-ing in its evolution, or we can just be people who live in the same subdivision. This is our community and we all share in the responsibility to maintain and even improve it. Abiding by the standards that the community has agreed to is one way to be a "good citizen" of the community. You might also want to take a more active role. The Board is made up of members of the community that volunteer their time and opinions in order to have an active role in the community. (We're always looking for more input, so if you're interested in playing a more active role, call your fa-vorite board member today!!)

It is against the law to allow animals to tres-pass on, destroy, or damage another person’s property. Pet owners are responsible for the re-moval of their animal’s excrement on the prop-erty of another, including CHHA common areas. Please be considerate of your neighbors’ prop-erties. It is also against the law to allow animals to run at large on public property or the private property of others. Pets must be restrained by a dependable leash and controlled by a responsible person when off the property of the owner. De-struction of neighboring property is addressed under Fairfax County Code Section 41-1-2, Section 108-5-2, and Section 41-2-6.

Attention Pet Owners

Did you know that many of our neighborhood’s Girl Scouts meet each week at the Chantilly High-lands Community Center? As the Scouting year wraps up, these Scouts would like to share their ap-preciation with the entire community. Many good things have been coming out of the time spent at the Community Center. These meetings haven’t just been fun, games and cookies! Scouts of all ages have given back to the community by doing trash pick-ups around the play-ground and community center, taking the trash out, as well as mopping and sweeping the floors when needed. A Cadette Scout earned her Silver Award by get-ting the new sign installed in front of the Commu-nity Center. She did all of the legwork to get the necessary information to the board, and then went through the Fairfax County Government to obtain the necessary permits to install the sign. Another

Cadette earned her Silver Award after she installed the brick path at the crosswalk from the School to the Community Center. The Community Center was used as a drop off point for 5 troops who collected

games to be donated to children at Inova Fairfax Hospital. Three troops adopted U.S. soldiers

who are away from their families. They sent them cards, cookies, friendship bracelets and care packages. Their adopted soldiers presented them with Certificates of Ap-

preciation which can be seen on display in the community center.

The highlights of this Scouting year are too numerous to list here. The Chantilly Highlands Community Center has been the place where many of our neighborhood kids have learned to show a true sense of community spirit. From all of the Girl Scouts in Chantilly Highlands, thank you for helping us have a successful year!

The Scouting Community Thanks The Chantilly Highlands Community!

1) A discussion was held informally with the guests on possible alignments for the Tri-County Connector.

2) Route 28 widening: Loudoun and Fairfax counties have put their respective moral obligations behind the bonds being offered by the Route 28 tax au-thority. The reduced funds based on the smaller bond sale will only pay for six interchanges instead of the projected ten, and the road will remain at six lanes instead of the projected eight. The planned three interchanges in Fairfax County include West-fields, McLearen, and a full interchange at Barnes-field Road. Improvements to Centreville Road are part of the overall plan to improve traffic flow on Route 28 and so are expected to remain in the state's 6-years plan. The question was raised that al-

though the comprehensive plan calls for Barnesfield Road to not have direct access to Franklin Farm Road when the Barnesfield Road interchange is completed, there are no current plans for that re-routing to take place as the interchange is built - that re-routing was to happen when the parcels on the west side of Centreville Road redeveloped.

3) Plans for developing the parcel at the southwest corner of Routes 50 and 28 include Target, Home Depot, restaurants, filling station and another hotel.

4) A previous proposal to re-plan an out lot on Oxon Road between Thompson and West Ox roads to allow three dwellings, which had not been ap-proved, had been resubmitted for only two dwell-ings, and that had been approved.

Sully District Council Land Use and Transportation Committee Partial Meeting Minutes of 6 May 2002

By Jeffrey Parnes

It isn't every day that you can do something to save someone's life. But it can be a common experience — if you give blood. This year over 4 million Americans will need a "transfusion" to survive illness or injury. Blood bank organizations constantly seek new donors. Those who fit the bill include individuals between 17 and 76 years old who weigh at least 110 pounds. The demand for blood never lets up. Every day, thousands of people need donations to live. Blood drives are held throughout the year at schools, churches, synagogues, military bases, places of business and organizations in your community. Check the health section of your local newspaper for blood drive listings, and look in the Yellow Pages for the telephone number of the blood collection organization nearest you. Giving blood is easy and confidential. Essentially, all you have to do is show up. Blood bank professionals do the rest and it takes less than an hour. Before giving blood, you'll complete a health screening. The screening is done to ensure the safety of the blood supply. After being screened, you'll be seated on a padded table or chair, your arm will be cleaned and a sterile needle attached to a soft plastic tube will be used to collect the blood into a plastic bag at your side. In about 15 minutes, a unit, which measures 500 milliliters or a little less than one pint, will have been collected. When you're done, you'll be asked to stay and relax, and have some cookies and refreshments to re-plenish fluids.

Blood is identified by its "type." There are four ma-jor blood types: A, B, AB and O. Each is divided into Rh positive or negative types. Type O is the most com-mon blood type. Type O donors are referred to as "universal" because in an emergency, their red blood cells can be transfused to people who have any other blood type. Because any patient can receive type O blood, there is a need for O donors to give regularly. For rare blood types, Rare Blood Donor Registries have been established by blood banking organizations. Individuals with rare blood types are asked to join these registries so, if a need for their special blood type arises, they will be contacted for a donation. Regardless of how rare or how common your blood type is, it's needed. Whatever your blood type, you are important to someone and should donate regularly. While most people are excellent donor candidates, certain medical conditions may temporarily prevent some from donating blood. If you're like most people, you have a gift that you can keep on giving. Since you can spare it, why not share it . . . regularly. And, encour-age your family and friends to give. After all, you never know when you or someone you love could use it.

There are long-standing rules of eti-quette when displaying the national flag that should be followed as closely as possible. Here are some reminders:

A flag is usually flown from sunrise to sunset. When displaying the flag for 24 hours, be sure it is directly illuminated. The flag may be flown every day and, if it is made of weather-resistant material, in any conditions. To display the United States flag flat against a wall, horizontally or vertically, the blue field should be at the top and facing to the left of the observer. It is proper to display the flag on all national and state holidays, and on other days proclaimed by the presi-dent.

When flags are displayed at differ-ent heights, the United States flag flies higher than all others. It is al-ways hoisted first and lowered last. When flags are displayed at equal heights, the United States flag is ei-ther out in front or farthest to the left of the observer.

By order of the presi-dent (or other high-ranking official), the flag may be flown at half-staff

The flag should not be permitted to touch the

ground or floor, become soiled or brush against ob-

jects. For more information on flying the American flag, visit the website: www.usflag.org.
