The swim team will be hosting an Inova blood drive at the Community Center from 3:30 - 8:30 PM. If you are in good health, at least 16 years old, and weigh at least 110 pounds, then you are eligible to donate blood. Just one pint of blood can help save the lives of several people—among them, newborn babies, cancer patients, burn victims, and open-heart surgery candidates. Inova Blood Donor Services estimates that an average of 200-300 donations are required every day to meet the demands of the 15 hospitals that they serve in the DC metro area . If you are able to donate blood on July 2, please call 1-866-BLOODSAVES (1-866-256-6372) or e-mail [email protected] to schedule an ap- pointment. Appointments are appreciated although walk- ins are welcome.

American Cancer Society (ACS) Quick Tips for Sun ProtectionmdashrdquoSlip Slop Slaprdquo

ldquoSlip slop slaprdquo Thatrsquos shorthand for slip on a shirt slop on the sun-screen and slap on a hatmdashand look for shade in the middle of the day Since sun exposure is the primary risk factor for skin cancer ACS offers skin-cancer prevention information

bull Wear hats with broad rims shirts with long sleeves and tightly woven clothing Good clothing choices include dark colors and specially treated garments and bathing suits White T-shirts provide only modest pro-tection from the damaging effects of the sun while blue shirts give the highest rate of protection Re-searchers found that white shirts dyed blue raised UV protection 544

bull Try to limit the time you are in the sun especially in the middle of the day when UV light is most intense Peak sun exposure hours are from 10 AM to 4 PM and people should use extra caution or avoidlimit outdoor activities during those hours

bull Use SPF 15 or higher on all skin exposed to the sun Donrsquot forget the back of your neck your ears and your face

bull Apply sunscreen at least 15 minutes before going outside

bull Apply generously Use at least one ounce to cover your body effectively A palmful is best

bull Reapply sunscreen EVERY TWO HOURS or after swimming sweating vigorous activity or towel dry-ing

bull Use sunscreen even on hazy or partly-cloudy days

bull Wear sunglasses Wrap-around sunglasses with at least 99 UV absorption protect your eyes the best

How to Dispose of Fluorescent Light Bulbs Once They Finally Burn Out

While we are all trying to find ways to save money and save the planet many of us are turning to fluo-rescent light bulbs and usually the compact fluores-cent version While these save money on our electric bills and help us to manage our resources better we could actually be harming the planet if not disposed of properly

Because fluorescent lamps contain small quantities of mercury which may create potential adverse health effects if released into the environment these bulbs should not be tossed into the regular trash

In the recycling process the mercury is removed and recovered for reuse while the balance of the ma-terials are either recycled or disposed of according to federal and state environmental regulations

To recycle fluorescent light bulbs be careful not to break them during the storage or transport to the Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) sites in our county The nearest HHW is the I-66 Transfer Sta-tion Complex at 4618 West Ox Road in Fairfax Normal operating hours are Thurs 1-5 PM Fri 8 AM - Noon Sat 8 AM - 4 PM and Sun 9 AM - 4 PM Note that businesses may not take their light bulbs to these locations Additional information about the county recycling program can be found at wwwfairfaxcountygovlivingrecycling

Page 7 The Chantilly Highlander Page 7 July 2008 Page 7 July 2008

Fairfax County is proud to provide superior and reliable solid waste management services while seeking to pre-serve our natural resources We collect transport recy-cle and dispose of solid waste which includes almost everything that is thrown away or recycled such as yard waste household trash recyclables commercial trash and industrial waste

If you can recharge it you can recycle it

When your batteries can no longer hold a charge it is time to recycle Help create a cleaner and safer environ-ment by keeping potentially harmful chemicals out of your trash While in the battery heavy metals such as cadmium and nickel pose little risk The problem comes upon disposal If improperly managed the heavy metals can be released into our environment The following re-chargeable battery types can be recycled

bull Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd) bull Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) bull Lithium Ion (Li-ion) bull Small Sealed Lead-Acid (Pb)

Alkaline (non-rechargeable) batteries have been re-engineered and reformulated to reduce and eliminate heavy metals As a result alkaline batteries may be dis-posed of safely in your trash in Fairfax County

Some products that use rechargeable batteries bull Cellular and cordless phones bull Video and digital cameras bull Laptop computers bull Cordless power tools bull MP3 players bull Computer backup devices bull Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) For helpful information and to locate free collection sites

With gasoline prices continuing to climb and no end in sight drivers around the country are trying different ways to economize CNNMoneycom has addressed the fol-lowing six myths with Consumer Reportsrsquo auto testing department 1mdashFill your tank in the morning According to Con-

sumer Reports there is little advantage if any to do so There are however benefits of filling your tank very early or late at night when there are air quality concerns such as Code Red

2mdashChange your air filter While maintaining your vehi-cle does help fuel economy Consumer Reports says that a clean air filter is not going to save you gas

3mdashUse premium fuel Check your ownersrsquo manual be-cause a great majority ldquorecommendrdquo premium fuel but do not require it

4mdashPump up your tires Maintaining the correct tire in-flation does help fuel economy but overinflating your tires may be a safety hazard Always follow proper in-flation recommendations

5mdashNo AC While air-conditioning does make the engine work harder resulting in increased fuel use driving with your windows down at higher speeds greatly increases

aerodynamic drag 6mdashBolt-ons and pour-ins Before buying a device to

make your car run better or pouring in gas additives consider the age of your vehicle Newer cars probably have technology in place to improve fuel efficiency

Best AdvicemdashSLOW DOWN According to CNNMoneycom every 10 miles per hour you drive over 60 is like the price of gasoline going up about 54 cents a gallon and will be more for less fuel-efficient vehicles This translates to a reduced fuel econ-omy of about 4 regardless of vehicle size Driving slower like 55 mph as we did in the 1970s could save more gas The old national 55 mph speed limit was instituted in 1974 in response to the energy crisis of that time A new term called lsquohypermilingrsquo uses techniques that drivers used back in the lsquo70s More information can be found at the following websites httpmoneycnncom20080512autosways_to_not_save_gas

How to Dispose of Fluorescent Light Bulbs Once They Finally Burn Out

While we are all trying to find ways to save money and save the planet many of us are turning to fluo-rescent light bulbs and usually the compact fluores-cent version While these save money on our electric bills and help us to manage our resources better we could actually be harming the planet if not disposed of properly

Because fluorescent lamps contain small quantities of mercury which may create potential adverse health effects if released into the environment these bulbs should not be tossed into the regular trash

In the recycling process the mercury is removed and recovered for reuse while the balance of the ma-terials are either recycled or disposed of according to federal and state environmental regulations

To recycle fluorescent light bulbs be careful not to break them during the storage or transport to the Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) sites in our county The nearest HHW is the I-66 Transfer Sta-tion Complex at 4618 West Ox Road in Fairfax Normal operating hours are Thurs 1-5 PM Fri 8 AM - Noon Sat 8 AM - 4 PM and Sun 9 AM - 4 PM Note that businesses may not take their light bulbs to these locations Additional information about the county recycling program can be found at wwwfairfaxcountygovlivingrecycling

Page 7 The Chantilly Highlander Page 7 July 2008 Page 7 July 2008

Fairfax County is proud to provide superior and reliable solid waste management services while seeking to pre-serve our natural resources We collect transport recy-cle and dispose of solid waste which includes almost everything that is thrown away or recycled such as yard waste household trash recyclables commercial trash and industrial waste

If you can recharge it you can recycle it

When your batteries can no longer hold a charge it is time to recycle Help create a cleaner and safer environ-ment by keeping potentially harmful chemicals out of your trash While in the battery heavy metals such as cadmium and nickel pose little risk The problem comes upon disposal If improperly managed the heavy metals can be released into our environment The following re-chargeable battery types can be recycled

bull Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd) bull Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) bull Lithium Ion (Li-ion) bull Small Sealed Lead-Acid (Pb)

Alkaline (non-rechargeable) batteries have been re-engineered and reformulated to reduce and eliminate heavy metals As a result alkaline batteries may be dis-posed of safely in your trash in Fairfax County

Some products that use rechargeable batteries bull Cellular and cordless phones bull Video and digital cameras bull Laptop computers bull Cordless power tools bull MP3 players bull Computer backup devices bull Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) For helpful information and to locate free collection sites

With gasoline prices continuing to climb and no end in sight drivers around the country are trying different ways to economize CNNMoneycom has addressed the fol-lowing six myths with Consumer Reportsrsquo auto testing department 1mdashFill your tank in the morning According to Con-

sumer Reports there is little advantage if any to do so There are however benefits of filling your tank very early or late at night when there are air quality concerns such as Code Red

2mdashChange your air filter While maintaining your vehi-cle does help fuel economy Consumer Reports says that a clean air filter is not going to save you gas

3mdashUse premium fuel Check your ownersrsquo manual be-cause a great majority ldquorecommendrdquo premium fuel but do not require it

4mdashPump up your tires Maintaining the correct tire in-flation does help fuel economy but overinflating your tires may be a safety hazard Always follow proper in-flation recommendations

5mdashNo AC While air-conditioning does make the engine work harder resulting in increased fuel use driving with your windows down at higher speeds greatly increases

aerodynamic drag 6mdashBolt-ons and pour-ins Before buying a device to

make your car run better or pouring in gas additives consider the age of your vehicle Newer cars probably have technology in place to improve fuel efficiency

Best AdvicemdashSLOW DOWN According to CNNMoneycom every 10 miles per hour you drive over 60 is like the price of gasoline going up about 54 cents a gallon and will be more for less fuel-efficient vehicles This translates to a reduced fuel econ-omy of about 4 regardless of vehicle size Driving slower like 55 mph as we did in the 1970s could save more gas The old national 55 mph speed limit was instituted in 1974 in response to the energy crisis of that time A new term called lsquohypermilingrsquo uses techniques that drivers used back in the lsquo70s More information can be found at the following websites httpmoneycnncom20080512autosways_to_not_save_gas

With gasoline prices continuing to climb and no end in sight drivers around the country are trying different ways to economize CNNMoneycom has addressed the fol-lowing six myths with Consumer Reportsrsquo auto testing department 1mdashFill your tank in the morning According to Con-

sumer Reports there is little advantage if any to do so There are however benefits of filling your tank very early or late at night when there are air quality concerns such as Code Red

2mdashChange your air filter While maintaining your vehi-cle does help fuel economy Consumer Reports says that a clean air filter is not going to save you gas

3mdashUse premium fuel Check your ownersrsquo manual be-cause a great majority ldquorecommendrdquo premium fuel but do not require it

4mdashPump up your tires Maintaining the correct tire in-flation does help fuel economy but overinflating your tires may be a safety hazard Always follow proper in-flation recommendations

5mdashNo AC While air-conditioning does make the engine work harder resulting in increased fuel use driving with your windows down at higher speeds greatly increases

aerodynamic drag 6mdashBolt-ons and pour-ins Before buying a device to

make your car run better or pouring in gas additives consider the age of your vehicle Newer cars probably have technology in place to improve fuel efficiency

Best AdvicemdashSLOW DOWN According to CNNMoneycom every 10 miles per hour you drive over 60 is like the price of gasoline going up about 54 cents a gallon and will be more for less fuel-efficient vehicles This translates to a reduced fuel econ-omy of about 4 regardless of vehicle size Driving slower like 55 mph as we did in the 1970s could save more gas The old national 55 mph speed limit was instituted in 1974 in response to the energy crisis of that time A new term called lsquohypermilingrsquo uses techniques that drivers used back in the lsquo70s More information can be found at the following websites httpmoneycnncom20080512autosways_to_not_save_gas

American Cancer Society (ACS) Quick Tips for Sun ProtectionmdashrdquoSlip Slop Slaprdquo

ldquoSlip slop slaprdquo Thatrsquos shorthand for slip on a shirt slop on the sun-screen and slap on a hatmdashand look for shade in the middle of the day Since sun exposure is the primary risk factor for skin cancer ACS offers skin-cancer prevention information

bull Wear hats with broad rims shirts with long sleeves and tightly woven clothing Good clothing choices include dark colors and specially treated garments and bathing suits White T-shirts provide only modest pro-tection from the damaging effects of the sun while blue shirts give the highest rate of protection Re-searchers found that white shirts dyed blue raised UV protection 544

bull Try to limit the time you are in the sun especially in the middle of the day when UV light is most intense Peak sun exposure hours are from 10 AM to 4 PM and people should use extra caution or avoidlimit outdoor activities during those hours

bull Use SPF 15 or higher on all skin exposed to the sun Donrsquot forget the back of your neck your ears and your face

bull Apply sunscreen at least 15 minutes before going outside

bull Apply generously Use at least one ounce to cover your body effectively A palmful is best

bull Reapply sunscreen EVERY TWO HOURS or after swimming sweating vigorous activity or towel dry-ing

bull Use sunscreen even on hazy or partly-cloudy days

bull Wear sunglasses Wrap-around sunglasses with at least 99 UV absorption protect your eyes the best

How to Dispose of Fluorescent Light Bulbs Once They Finally Burn Out

While we are all trying to find ways to save money and save the planet many of us are turning to fluo-rescent light bulbs and usually the compact fluores-cent version While these save money on our electric bills and help us to manage our resources better we could actually be harming the planet if not disposed of properly

Because fluorescent lamps contain small quantities of mercury which may create potential adverse health effects if released into the environment these bulbs should not be tossed into the regular trash

In the recycling process the mercury is removed and recovered for reuse while the balance of the ma-terials are either recycled or disposed of according to federal and state environmental regulations

To recycle fluorescent light bulbs be careful not to break them during the storage or transport to the Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) sites in our county The nearest HHW is the I-66 Transfer Sta-tion Complex at 4618 West Ox Road in Fairfax Normal operating hours are Thurs 1-5 PM Fri 8 AM - Noon Sat 8 AM - 4 PM and Sun 9 AM - 4 PM Note that businesses may not take their light bulbs to these locations Additional information about the county recycling program can be found at wwwfairfaxcountygovlivingrecycling

American Cancer Society (ACS) Quick Tips for Sun ProtectionmdashrdquoSlip Slop Slaprdquo

ldquoSlip slop slaprdquo Thatrsquos shorthand for slip on a shirt slop on the sun-screen and slap on a hatmdashand look for shade in the middle of the day Since sun exposure is the primary risk factor for skin cancer ACS offers skin-cancer prevention information

bull Wear hats with broad rims shirts with long sleeves and tightly woven clothing Good clothing choices include dark colors and specially treated garments and bathing suits White T-shirts provide only modest pro-tection from the damaging effects of the sun while blue shirts give the highest rate of protection Re-searchers found that white shirts dyed blue raised UV protection 544

bull Try to limit the time you are in the sun especially in the middle of the day when UV light is most intense Peak sun exposure hours are from 10 AM to 4 PM and people should use extra caution or avoidlimit outdoor activities during those hours

bull Use SPF 15 or higher on all skin exposed to the sun Donrsquot forget the back of your neck your ears and your face

bull Apply sunscreen at least 15 minutes before going outside

bull Apply generously Use at least one ounce to cover your body effectively A palmful is best

bull Reapply sunscreen EVERY TWO HOURS or after swimming sweating vigorous activity or towel dry-ing

bull Use sunscreen even on hazy or partly-cloudy days

bull Wear sunglasses Wrap-around sunglasses with at least 99 UV absorption protect your eyes the best

How to Dispose of Fluorescent Light Bulbs Once They Finally Burn Out

While we are all trying to find ways to save money and save the planet many of us are turning to fluo-rescent light bulbs and usually the compact fluores-cent version While these save money on our electric bills and help us to manage our resources better we could actually be harming the planet if not disposed of properly

Because fluorescent lamps contain small quantities of mercury which may create potential adverse health effects if released into the environment these bulbs should not be tossed into the regular trash

In the recycling process the mercury is removed and recovered for reuse while the balance of the ma-terials are either recycled or disposed of according to federal and state environmental regulations

To recycle fluorescent light bulbs be careful not to break them during the storage or transport to the Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) sites in our county The nearest HHW is the I-66 Transfer Sta-tion Complex at 4618 West Ox Road in Fairfax Normal operating hours are Thurs 1-5 PM Fri 8 AM - Noon Sat 8 AM - 4 PM and Sun 9 AM - 4 PM Note that businesses may not take their light bulbs to these locations Additional information about the county recycling program can be found at wwwfairfaxcountygovlivingrecycling

With gasoline prices continuing to climb and no end in sight drivers around the country are trying different ways to economize CNNMoneycom has addressed the fol-lowing six myths with Consumer Reportsrsquo auto testing department 1mdashFill your tank in the morning According to Con-

sumer Reports there is little advantage if any to do so There are however benefits of filling your tank very early or late at night when there are air quality concerns such as Code Red

2mdashChange your air filter While maintaining your vehi-cle does help fuel economy Consumer Reports says that a clean air filter is not going to save you gas

3mdashUse premium fuel Check your ownersrsquo manual be-cause a great majority ldquorecommendrdquo premium fuel but do not require it

4mdashPump up your tires Maintaining the correct tire in-flation does help fuel economy but overinflating your tires may be a safety hazard Always follow proper in-flation recommendations

5mdashNo AC While air-conditioning does make the engine work harder resulting in increased fuel use driving with your windows down at higher speeds greatly increases

aerodynamic drag 6mdashBolt-ons and pour-ins Before buying a device to

make your car run better or pouring in gas additives consider the age of your vehicle Newer cars probably have technology in place to improve fuel efficiency

Best AdvicemdashSLOW DOWN According to CNNMoneycom every 10 miles per hour you drive over 60 is like the price of gasoline going up about 54 cents a gallon and will be more for less fuel-efficient vehicles This translates to a reduced fuel econ-omy of about 4 regardless of vehicle size Driving slower like 55 mph as we did in the 1970s could save more gas The old national 55 mph speed limit was instituted in 1974 in response to the energy crisis of that time A new term called lsquohypermilingrsquo uses techniques that drivers used back in the lsquo70s More information can be found at the following websites httpmoneycnncom20080512autosways_to_not_save_gas
