Miscellaneous Items
Drones:'DRONES' with cameras hovering over decks were discussed at the Board Meeting on Sept 12. It was mentioned that no one should invade our privacy with a camera while we're on our own property, especially our decks. We're just learning about the law regarding drones in communities, and we ask that you do the same. There are some links to articles about drones below. Therefore, for those of you, who do own or are planning to purchase a Drone to fly in our Community, please realize that other property owners only ask for you to respect their privacy. The main reason that many of us have purchased our property within the Cacapon Highlands Community; is the fact that we enjoy our privacy, and wish to keep it that way. Also, for those property owners who rent or have guest, please let them know how other property owners feel about Drones hovering over their property and decks. Thank you for understanding.
1. "The FAA released its interpretation of rules for model aircraft after recent incidents involving reckless use of drones….. beyond the operator's line of sight." http://dronelawjournal.com/
2. BACKGROUND….. "model aircraft can at times pose a hazard to full-scale aircraft in flight and to persons and property on the surface. compliance with the following standards will help reduce the potential for that hazard and create a good neighbor environment with affected communities and airspace users." http://blogs.marketwatch.com/…/are-drones-illegal-in-your-.../.

Meredith Johnston sent me this message; "Good Morning Neighbors, Just a bit of caution. A bear is on the prowl this spring. We have had 2 visits already this week and last year a bear destroyed our screen porch door to get to the can where we stored (notice the past tense) the bird seed. It usually comes around in the early evening just about twilight, although we have seen it at very late/very early times on our deck. It is easy to scare away, fire crackers, air horns, loud shouting and hand clapping. It comes for the bird seed (which we put out). Watch your pets that are outside at these times. I have to put my dogs out just before dark while I can still see what is outside. Good thing they have strong bladders. The bear is not vicious but it is a wild animal. When you see your neighbor you might warn them about the bear.
