Chantilly Highlands Homes Association Board of Directors Meeting

Thursday, September 7, 2006 Submitted by Wendy Hunt

Minutes are tentative and will be reviewed and approved at the upcoming Board of Directors meeting.

Board Attendees: Mark Hassinger, Wendy Hunt, Larry Miller, Jon Roe, Chris Tacinelli, and Jeff Boehlert

Absent Board members: Darin Welt, Wendy Osborn, Paul Thurneyson

Homeowner attendees: Two

Chris Tacinelli called the meeting to order at 7:39pm.

Mark Hassinger made a motion to approve the July min-utes. Wendy Hunt seconded it and the Board approved the July minutes unanimously.

Treasurer’s Report: Budget review was conducted. There are nine lots with outstanding homeowner dues. Two residents have expressed interest in the bookkeeper position, one proposal has been received. A decision will be made this month selecting the new bookkeeper. The board will hold the annual budget meeting after the November Board of Directors meet-ing.

Community Facilities: Pool is closed. We need to buy new pool furniture. Jeff recommended that we renew Splash for a multiyear contract. Jeff fixed some minor things at the pool. We will do a walkthrough and see what needs to be replaced and revamped for the pool and the office, including a complete review of all pool equipment and the pool house facilities.

Land Management: Board member absent, so no new business was discussed.

Architectural Control Committee: A work session with the Board and ACC will be planned in the coming weeks to facilitate the completion of the annual walk appraisals and their mailing to homeowners.

Community Activities: The Teen Pool Party was held July 29th. Work continues towards the Community Day event. The golf tournament will be held this weekend. Research will be done to collect bids to purchase new announcement signs to be put at the community en-trances as the old signs need to be replaced.

Civic Affairs: Board member absent, so no new business

was discussed.

Neighborhood Watch: Board member absent, so no new business was discussed.

Communications - Newsletter and Website: Announce-ments, articles and upcoming deadlines were discussed. Directory format was discussed and cost approved. Annual meeting will be advertised in newsletter three issues in advance.

Long Range Planning: No new business at this time. Board members will review spreadsheet for input to next year’s budget.

Database: Had a meeting on the 29th with Dave Puchrik and Jeff Parnes and reconciled discrepancies in data-base fields. The database is ready for preparation of the 2006 Community Directory. The Board is exploring the option of placing the Directory on the CHHA web-site with protected access.

Old Business: We are pursuing payment for the land that was taken by VDOT as part of the Centreville Road widening project.

We are monitoring the land use action across the street from our neighborhood involving Lincoln Properties mixed use development.

R-Tap: The Board President and another board member are working with the members of the community that have expressed an interest in this issue to keep the proc-ess rolling forward. Nine residents have volunteered to be canvassers to help petition the neighborhood and determine whether the measures VDOT develops to calm traffic are desirable. The goal is to have VDOT develop solutions by the end of this year.

Board nominating committee: The Board has established their nominating committee which will be searching for and interviewing prospective board candidates.

New Business: The swim team has requested an updated, more professional looking record board for the pool entry area. The adopted budget has allocated funds for the swim team to cover this item, which the Board felt would be a nice addition to the pool house.

Meeting Adjournment: Mark Hassinger made a motion to adjourn the meeting and Wendy Hunt seconded it. The Board unanimously approved the motion, and the meeting was adjourned at 9:36pm.

Chantilly Highlands Needs Board Members

We need volunteers to fill four Board of Directors positions beginning in January 2007. Can you help by considering one of the vacant positions? Do you know of someone you can speak to about volunteer-ing? We need your help to keep Chantilly Highlands a great place to live.

Chantilly Highlands is one of the most popular, sought after neighborhoods in the area. The strong sense of community, excellent schools and great peo-ple make Chantilly Highlands THE place to live. Part of the advantage of this community is that the annual Association dues are among the lowest, if not the low-est, of all homeowner associations in the area. Every home has unlimited access to the playground, tennis courts, swimming pool, and common areas offered within the neighborhood.

A large factor in keeping the annual dues low is the fact that the community Board of Directors is a 100% volunteer organization. Many other homeowner asso-ciations have gone to outside, independent manage-ment companies to run their communities – we have never had to look at outside management because of the strong volunteer base here in Chantilly Highlands. Failure to fill the open positions with a full nine-member Board may require looking for outside man-agement which would likely add at least $200 to the annual dues assessed against each homeowner – about a 100% increase!

Please think about offering to help. In the past, many of your friends and neighbors have volunteered their time on the Board (some even for multiple terms!). If you are interested or you know of someone who can help, please contact the Board at [email protected] or contact Wendy Osborn, Chairper-son of the Nominating Committee, at 703-834-7978. Your assistance is truly appreciated. Remember, “Many hands make lighter work.”

EXCHANGING SEEDS OF FRIENDSHIP

Please come to the Chantilly Highlands Gar-den Club Meeting on Tuesday, October 17, 2006, 7:30 PM, at the Community Center where we will swap seeds, plants, and end-of-summer stories.

Anyone who has harvested seeds from their summer garden is asked to bring them to the meeting to share with everyone. Also, if you are thinning out those every-multiplying perennials and would like to share them, please dig them up, put them in cardboard boxes, and bring them with you. Please bring along an empty box or container to put plant cuttings in and we can share our gardens with each other. This is a wonderful way to get to know your neighbors, share stories about gardening, and add variety to your own garden!

There are many beautiful gardens throughout Chantilly Highlands and many neighbors who admire your plants and would like to plant them in their garden, but don’t know what they are. The CH Garden Club is the place to come to find out about that tall, red blooming plant or that pretty, fuzzy ornamental grass in your neighbor’s yard. Chances are someone in the Club will know or can point you in the right direction. At our meetings we discuss a

Minimize Winter’s Costly Bite With winter approaching, take some time now to alleviate the pain of the monthly heating bill later. Below are some things you can check to minimize heat loss in your home. Have your heating system inspected

and adjusted annually. Make sure your fireplace damper is

tightly closed when not being used. Change your furnace filters monthly. Consider signing up for a budget plan where your

monthly bills are the same amount based on the aver-age of the last year’s heating bills.

Install a programmable thermostat to automatically adjust your heat when you are away or asleep.

Turn down the thermostat on your hot water heater to 120 degrees.

Do full loads of clothes and dishes. Take showers instead of baths, and keep them short. Fix any dripping faucets, toilets, and pipes. Install ceiling fans to circulate the hot air that has

risen to the ceiling back down to your living area. Caulk and weatherstrip your windows and doors. If making purchases, be sure they are energy efficient

products.


October Lawn & Landscaping Tips October Lawn & Landscaping Tips from the VA Cooperative Extensionfrom the VA Cooperative Extension • Create a pleasant mini-climate around your

house by planting trees and shrubs. The air is noticeably cooler around a house surrounded by tall, leafy trees than in a treeless yard.

• Turf grown on acid soil has been found more susceptible to winter kill, more prone to injury from applications of chemicals, and less reli-able under adverse climatic conditions. To pre-vent such problems, have your soil tested regu-larly and apply lime when the need is indicated.

• Don't retire the lawn mower when the growth of your lawn slows down this fall. As long as the grass continues to grow, it should be mowed.

• Leaves from heavily wooded gardens can be beneficial to the garden and should not be burned or discarded. Instead, put them through a shredder and use as a mulch or add to your compost pile.

• Remove leaves from lawn to reduce lawn prob-lems. Compost them or save them for next year's mulch.

• Fall is the time to control certain broadleaf weeds in the lawn including chickweed, white clover, dandelion, wild onion, plantain, and Canada thistle. Call your local Extension agent for control recommendations at 703-324-5369.

Understanding the Foundations of Learning By Kelly Besecker

What enables our children to learn? How do they learn? Why is it that some students excel in the classroom and others do not?

Educating a student is like building a house. For the house to stand firm, it must have a strong foundation. Likewise in education, students must have strong founda-tional skills that prepare them to learn throughout their entire academic careers. Without a proper foundation, a student will struggle much like a house would wobble and fall.

Preparing students to learn involves building a base of skills and abilities that can be drawn upon daily in the classroom. Different from knowing the alphabet or how to count to 100, true foundational skills go deeper and in-volve not only abilities of the mind (for example, memory and problem solving) but also physical abilities, such as coordination and bal-ance. Additionally, senses are involved. In other words, much like a house’s foundation, the skills required for learning lie deeper than those that are readily apparent, such as memory and con-centration.

To understand how students learn, it’s important to un-derstand the components of learning fundamentals.

The Role of the Senses Sight, sound, smell, touch, taste – these are the five

senses that most of us recognize. However, research has pinpointed many more senses that create perceptions about the world around us. If these senses work together, we are able to merge and organize information into a co-herent mental picture of our environment. This is known as sensory integration.

Sensory integration involves the brain, the spinal cord and the nerves – the central nervous system. It allows for abilities such as balance and hand-eye coordination. Not all students have fully developed sensory integration skills, which can cause problems in the classroom. Sen-sory integration dysfunctions may go unrecognized and may be attributed to other causes, like clumsiness or lazi-ness.

Students who have fully developed sensory integration skills are better prepared for classroom performance. For example, a student’s handwriting is improved through developing fine motor skills. Posture and balance help a child maintain attention and focus in the classroom.

Processing Information It’s common practice for schools to conduct sight and

hearing screenings to detect potential impairments. Yet, seeing and hearing abilities are only half the battle when it comes to learning. Information received by the eyes and ears must also be processed. This is known as visual and auditory processing.

Visual processing is important because researchers esti-mate that about 80 percent of the information that reaches us comes through our eyes. There is a difference between eyesight and vision. Vision is the brain’s learned response to information perceived by the eyes.

Visual processing weaknesses are possible even with perfect eyesight. Such problems can include eyestrain, poor visual concentration, narrow peripheral vision, shal-low depth perception, slow visual reaction time or diffi-culty tracking the eyes left to right or top to bottom; all detrimental to a student’s ability to learn.

Likewise, perfect hearing does not indicate that a stu-dent is able to listen to directions and follow them. Audi-tory processing is critical when it comes to learning to read and reading comprehension, spelling, and classroom learning, to name just a few.

There is a difference between hearing and listening. Auditory processing skills are the key to effective listen-ing. Fundamentally, students must be able to comprehend

and produce the discrete sounds that comprise words, called phonemes. These sounds are the basis of phonics. Auditory processing skills enable the listener to discrimi-nate between these sounds, selectively attend to certain sounds and not others (i.e., filter out background noise), and remember verbal information.

Brain Skills As one might imagine, the abil-

ity of the brain to function is criti-cal to learning. Essentially, the brain is the common denominator tying together the vari-ous aspects of our ability to learn.

The workings of the brain, or cognitive abilities, cover a broad spectrum of aptitudes, including comprehension, memory, deductive reasoning, interpreting symbols, con-cept formation and other mental skills.

Research has shown the brain, much like a muscle, can be exercised and molded. This “plasticity” of the brain means that we can in fact “train the brain” to learn. If a student has a weakness in a certain area, it is possible to strengthen that area through mental exercises.

Putting It All Together Strengthening learning abilities by building skills in

cognition, sensory integration and perception is the basis of a foundation for successful academic performance. Once students have mastered fundamental abilities, they can learn subjects with more speed.

In an ideal world, these foundational skills would be mastered before subject work, but in today’s classroom, that is not always the case. Some students come to school prepared to learn with these abilities because they have been able to acquire them informally. Others come to school “unprepared to learn” and need help building these skills. Sometimes cognitive, perceptual, and sensory inte-gration skills can be obtained in the classroom setting. Often, however, classroom teachers are faced with a broad diversity of student needs and only one curriculum that is focused more on advancing student’s progress in subject matter than on building fundamental learning skills. This is especially true the older a student is.

Sometimes supplemental help is needed to aid children in strengthening their learning skills. While many tutoring programs only offer students assistance in specific content areas (such as math or reading), some tutoring programs have programs for building foundational skills in cogni-tive, perceptual and sensory integration.

Building Blocks for Learning Success Returning to the building analogy, the groundwork for a

successful academic career lies in developing key cogni-tive, sensory integration, and perceptual skills. Together, these skills enable memory, focus, comprehension, prob-lem solving, judgment, and more. Students are therefore better equipped to learn concepts of math, reading, lan-guage arts, science, history, and other subjects when the basic skills are mastered.

Once a student is proficient in learning, they can master any concept or content they are challenged with. When fully built, the fundamental skills in cognition, perception and sensory integration are the foundation for lifelong learning success.
