Thanks to the efforts of Vicki Danoy and all the resi-dents that called the numbers in last months issue of The Highlander, Kinross Circle is now on the list for resurfac-ing in 2003 and potholes should be repaired this month. If you have a pothole that is in need of repair, call 703-383-8368. If you would like to have your street re-surfaced call John Ford of Area 3 for paving at 703-383-2800. It may require some persistence; however, the more people they hear from the more likely they are to listen! More numbers are on page 19.

Street Sense

Prepare now for the pool season beginning in just a few weeks. The Chantilly Highlands pool will open at 11:00 A.M. on Saturday, May 26, 2001. Everyone will be asked to sign in at the front desk.

All residents are also encouraged to send their updated photos to the above address to avoid delays the first few days.

“Get Your Feet Wet”

The children were delighted, the parents proud, and all 1,000 candy and toy-filled eggs were found. On Sunday, April 8th the Annual Spring Egg Hunt was underway at 2:00 PM. The afternoon was sunny - just as "ordered." About 100 children came to hunt brightly col-ored candy-filled eggs. An exact count was not possible as they did not stay for long! Most carried baskets, some highly decorated. Two motorcycle helmets even did double duty as Egg Baskets. Those four who found the golden eggs were rewarded with stuffed animals. After the hunt, everyone came inside the Community Center for home-made cookies, juice, and juice boxes. Many stayed to play in the playground because it was such a beautiful day. Special thanks to all those who helped stuff the eggs, hide them, and make cookies: Susan McCullough, Becky Donatello, Peggy and Nigel Wright, Laura McCafferty, Sharon Hughes, Liz and Warren Grasty. All social activities for CHHA are planned by vol-unteers. Please call Liz Grasty, Board Liaison, at (703) 904-8151 to volunteer to share ideas, planning, and execution!

Spring Egg Hunt

There are things on the CHHA website that you would expect, like the ACC Exterior Alteration Request Form and phone numbers for board members and liaisons. But, this easy-to-use and convenient site also presents on-line access to the weather, lunch menus for Fairfax County Schools, the traffic report, and more. A favorite link is the satellite image of Chantilly High-lands. New items are added on a regular basis. To stay in-formed, put CHHA.org in your favorites folder and check back often!

Chantilly Highlands Crime Report

Police/Fire/Rescue Emergency Dial 911 Non-Emergency

Dial 703-691-2131

� Do your children enjoy skateboarding, roller blad-ing, or BMXing (aggressive biking)?

� Are you concerned for their safety because they are skateboarding, roller blading, or BMXing on the streets of our community?

� Would you like to have a safe place for your chil-dren to skateboard, roller blade, and BMX within the Chantilly Highland vicinity?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, please come to the Chantilly Highland board meeting on Thursday May 3rd at 7:30 PM to show your sup-port for a skate park or a designated skating area for our children. Your support is necessary in order for the CHHA board to determine the level of interest in our community in keeping our children safe and out of the streets by providing them with a skate park or a desig-nated skating area within the community. If you are opposed to the idea, this is also the time to express your concerns. So - please mark you calen-dar and be there.

Some of these tips may start to sound redundant, how-ever, if you get in the habit of taking less than one minute to secure your car, you could be spared days, weeks, or even months of inconvenience. LOCK YOUR CAR. This includes in your garage, driveway, and front of your house. Half the cars stolen are left unlocked. TAKE YOUR KEYS. Nearly 20% of all vehicles stolen have the keys in them. PARK IN WELL-LIGHTED AREAS. Car thefts occur at night more than half the time. DON'T LEAVE YOUR CAR RUNNING, EVEN FOR A MINUTE. Convenience stores, gas stations, and ATMs are common hunting grounds for thieves. Cars left running to warm up on cold mornings are easy prey. COMPLETELY CLOSE YOUR CAR WINDOWS. DON'T LEAVE VALUABLES IN PLAIN VIEW. DON'T HIDE A SPARE SET OF KEYS IN THE CAR. Pros know where to look. KEEP YOUR REGISTRATION CARD WITH YOU. Not in the glove compartment. PARK WITH YOUR WHEELS TURNED TOWARD THE CURB. IF YOUR VEHICLE HAS REAR-WHEEL DRIVE, BACK INTO YOUR DRIVEWAY. Rear wheels lock on rear-wheel drive vehicles, making them tough to tow. Front-wheel drive vehicles should be parked front end first. ALWAYS USE YOUR EMERGENCY BRAKE. I hope that these tips are helpful. PLEASE try to use any or ALL of them. They work!! Remember, if your vehicle is sto-len, immediately call 703-691-2131. Have your drivers li-cense and registration information available for the re-sponding officer.

Their purpose is to assure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable time at Chantilly Highlands Pool. All homeowners, their families, out-side pool members, and guests must abide by these rules. Revisions may be made at any time by the Community Facilities Committee. The safe operation of the Pool depends on every parent being responsible for his or her own children and on the fact that the Pool Manager has adequate enforcement authority.

Attorney General Mark Earley wants you to guard against identity theft. This is where con artists falsely ob-tain your personal information, impersonate you, and then use your personal information for fraudulent pur-poses. Identity theft can cause you financial harm and de-stroy your credit reputation. Armed with computer know-how and a little knowl-edge about you, a criminal can obtain a surprising amount of additional data to defraud you, as well as banks and retailers. Although there is no way to com-pletely prevent identity theft, you can protect yourself by limiting who has access to your personal information. Never disclose to a stranger, especially over the tele-phone or Internet: ➣ Your credit card number, unless you initiate the

transaction with a company that you know is reputa-ble.

➣ Your credit card expiration date. ➣ Your checking account number and other numbers

printed on your checks, which could be used to with-drawal money from your checking account without your authorization.

➣ Your telephone calling card number, which could be used by others to charge calls to your account.

➣ Your social security number, which could be used to track down information about you from other sources or to establish a false identity. While a com-pany can ask for it and even refuse you service if you do not provide it, it is still wise not to give your num-ber unless it is legally required.

➣ Your driver�s license number, which could allow someone to obtain identifying information about you, including your physical description. In Virginia, when you obtain a driver�s license or have your li-cense renewed, you can request a license number that is different from your social security number.

➣ Health information, such as your insurance, medical and mental health history, and doctor�s name, which could be used to obtain health care and health ser-vices fraudulently.

➣ Information about your home security system, in-cluding whether you have one and what kinds of valuables you have in your home.

Chantilly High School�s Drama Department will close a highly successful year with the Children�s Theater production of Stuart Little. This is the second production for the Children�s Theater this season and follows the highly successful A Tale of Nine Princesses, which was performed in January. Stuart Little will be performed on Thursday, May 31st through Saturday, June 2nd. This production is for children of all ages. There will be performances every evening at 7:30 PM and a special mati-nee performance on Saturday June 2nd at 2 PM. The Children�s Theater productions feature the Drama I and II students in-cluding Chantilly Highlands� own Kevin Pearson. For ticket information call the Chantilly High School Drama Department at 703-222-8182. On April 6th the Chantilly High School Drama Depart-ment performed at the Folger Shakespearean Library�s annual Shakespeare Festival. Their 30-minute performance of The Mer-chant of Venice earned the Department two Excellence in Acting awards, an Excellence in Comedic Acting award, and an Out-standing Ensemble award to a group that included Chantilly Highlands resident, Sarah Blum. This is the second year in a row that the Department has participated in this festival and the second year in a row they have earned multiple awards. Congratulations for an outstanding performance! The crowning point to this outstanding season will occur on June 9th. This is date for the 2nd Annual Cappie Awards to be held at the John F. Kennedy Center For The Performing Arts. The �Cappies� are the Washington DC�s equivalent to Broadway�s Tony Awards. Approximately 35 area high schools entered one of their main stage productions (Fall or Spring) and student critics from other schools reviewed these perform-ances. Categories, that mirror the Tony Awards, include Best Musical, Best Play, Best Actress, etc. Chantilly High�s entry this season was their Fall performance, Room Service. Nominations will be announced sometime in May so watch the next High-lander for this exciting news.

Parent: I forgot to sign my child up for the Swim Team in April. Is it true that I can still sign her up even after practice has started simply by paying a paltry late fee of $20? Answer man: It is true. Parent: Is it true that the Dolphin�s Swim Team is the best eco-nomical value in kid�s sports available today; that if my child at-tends practice every day and every Wednesday night swim meet it will only cost me about $1.58/hour for a healthful, fun, commu-nity-spirited activity? Answer man: It is true. Parent: Is it true that if my child is too nervous to swim in races that he will not be forced to race? Is it also true that the coaches� son got up to the line for his first race and didn�t want to go? Is it true that his parents (both professional swim coaches) wrapped him up in a towel and told him not to worry, that if he didn�t want to go that it was OK? Is it true that today he is a racing animal? Do you think that those coaches would be as considerate of my child? Answer man: All true and yes. Parent: Is it true that the swim team is the largest year-round organization in Chantilly Highlands, involving 130 children and 160 parents in the summer and 70 kids and associated parents in the winter? Answer man: It is true. Parent: With such a large constituency, you as chairman of the swim team, must have incredible political power. Is this true? Answer man: This is not true. Parent: How do you as chairman formulate swim team policy? Answer man: I throw my full support behind whatever posi-tion the majority of the women want. Parent: That is very wise. Answer man: Yes, and it makes life worth living. Parent: When did you learn this? Answer man: Fourth grade. Parent: Is it true that the Realtors and Home Improvement companies fight to get their advertisements on the page across from your articles? Answer man: No, we have a lottery system. Parent: What are we going to write about when summer swimming is over? Answer man: Winter swimming. Send your questions to Steve Bachman at [email protected].

(Continued from page 13) ➣ Information about who resides with you, whether you

live alone and whether there is a �man of the house.� ➣ Your age or age category. ➣ Information about your finances, annual income or

mortgage. If a creditor calls, telling you to send your checks to a different address, look up your creditor�s phone number, and call back to confirm.

If you discover that you have been a victim of identity theft, immediately contact: 1. The fraud units of the following three credit reporting

companies to request that your credit account be flagged: CFC (formerly Equifax) at 800-685-1111; Ex-perian (formerly TRW) at 888-397-3742; and Trans Union at 800-888-4213.

2. Your creditors, to notify them of the identity theft and to request that your accounts be closed and re-placed with new account numbers.

3. Your local police; the United States Secret Service at 804-771-2274; the Social Security Administration at 800-772-1213; and the Federal Trade Commission at 877-FTC-HELP.

Make sure that you document and keep copies of you oral and written correspondence with these entities. You should also consider hiring a private attorney that has ex-pertise in identity theft to make sure that your credit re-ports and your personal and financial records are accurate. Avoiding identity theft is the best option, and can be achieved best by following these guidelines: ➣ Keep you passport, birth certificate, social security

card, canceled checks and other personal information locked up. Do not give it out over the telephone or the Internet; do not put it on questionnaires, warranty registration cards, or address labels; and do not store it on the hard drive of your computer.

➣ Do not have your telephone number or social security number printed on your checks.

➣ Refuse to disclose any information about yourself to strangers calling you on the telephone, even if they sound legitimate, appear sincere and helpful, or al-ready know some information about you.

➣ Common scams begin with a postcard or telephone call saying you have won a contest or qualify for a ma-jor credit card. If you respond to the offer, the caller may ask for financial information to �verify your iden-tity,� ship the prize, or charge a processing fee. Once you provide the information, however, it is unlikely you will ever see the prize or credit card.

➣ Obtain a copy of your credit report to be sure that it is accurate and to see what companies have requested information about you. Call CFC at 800-759-5979; Experian at 888-397-3742; and Trans Union at 800-888-4213.

➣ Review all of your bills monthly to see if they contain any inaccuracies or charges that you did not make.

➣ Have your name, address and telephone number re-moved from credit bureau mailing lists. Call CFC at 800-759-5979; Experian at 800-353-0809 (this call claims to remove you from four credit bureaus); and Trans Union at 888-567-8688.

➣ Instruct major direct mailing companies to remove your name from solicitation mailing lists. Write to: Di-rect Marketing Association, Mail Preference Service, P.O. Box 9008, Farmingdale, New York 11735

➣ Instruct major telemarketing companies to remove your name from solicitation calling lists. Write to: Di-rect Marketing Association, Telephone Preference Service, P.O. Box 9014, Farmingdale, New York 11735.

➣ When telemarketers call, instruct them to put you on their �do not call� list. By law, they must comply.

➣ Instruct companies not to sell information about you. Many companies now provide a check-off box on credit application forms.

➣ Do not give personal information such as your ad-dress or telephone number to a company unless you are having merchandise shipped to you. Generally, sellers do not need this information. If a company claims to need it, ask why.

➣ Shred all documents that contain personal informa-tion, including pre-approved credit card applications, before discarding them in a trash container.

➣ Be cautious of what personal information you leave in an unlocked mailbox. Also make arrangements to pick up your social security checks if direct deposit is not available.

➣ Always take credit card and ATM receipts with you, and never throw them into a public trash container. Also, shield the keypad from view when entering your PIN number into a telephone or and ATM or debit machine.

➣ Notify you credit card issuer if a credit card that you are expecting does not arrive.

If you have any questions or problems, call me at 703-277-3540, or write at 10333-B Democracy Lane, Fairfax, VA 22030.
