Cast your Ballot for Parks! Help us reinvest in our award-winning parks with your vote in November! The 2016 park bond offers residents $94.7 million worth of opportunities to improve and expand the Fairfax County Park Authority system. In Fairfax County, parks are used by more than 80% of residents, 91% of whom live within a half-mile of a park. We welcomed nearly 18 million visitors last year. Though the ballot will be full of candidates and questions to consider, please join me in continuing a legacy of support for park improvement bonds that voters have approved since 1959! The projects in this bond reflect what you said was important in the recently completed Needs Assessment Survey. You told us to preserve more open spaces. This bond provides funding to preserve more open space and restore degraded natural resources. Trails are highly regarded, and the Park Authority maintains 324 miles of multi-use trails. Funding for trails is included in this bond. Fixing and improving existing parks and facilities was a key message we heard and a majority of the funding is dedicated to improving existing parks and facilities that are well-loved and well-used. From lakefronts to water parks, golf courses to historic sites, we continue to expand and improve our park system and provide a variety of recreational opportunities. Parks contribute to improving health and wellness, and last year, 1.8 million people visited a RECenter for fitness and fun. Nearly a quarter million competitors played on our state-of-the-art athletic fields as well. In our park amphitheaters, we continue to build community and last year hosted 200 free performances. We are a regional leader in summer camps with 26,000 children enrolled. We need to continue to build and expand on this success. Reinvesting in the park system with the 2016 Park bond funding will positively impact every community in our county. This bond is based on community needs as determined in surveys, focus groups and through community input. To that end, we feel strongly that we have found the right balance of projects. So please join me in supporting the 2016 park bond. Find out about our bond program at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/2016bond.htm or invite our 2016 Park Bond â&#x20AC;&#x153;Green Teamâ&#x20AC;? to speak to your organization by calling the Public Information Office at 703-324-8662. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s each ensure that parks continue to thrive in Fairfax County! Please say YES to parks this November. Best wishes,

e r u t n e v d A High Ropes h Run t u o S o t s e Com Thrill seekers will soon swing into action when Fairfax County Park Authority, in partnership with Go Ape Treetop Adventure, opens its first zip line and high ropes course to the public. The adventure course is being constructed in the woodland near South Run RECenter in Springfield and is expected to open in early summer 2017. “We’re thrilled to have this partnership with Fairfax County and to be building in South Run,” says Go Ape Managing Director Dan D’A gostino. “This will be a unique outdoor experience for residents and visitors alike. It’s ideal for friends and family outings, corporate team building, and anyone who enjoys a challenge.” Treetop Adventure courses offer a fully immersive outdoor activity and provide park visitors with a new view of their local park setting and the forest canopy. The company is passionate about environmental preservation and will work with the Park Authority to ensure native and indigenous plants as well as wildlife in the course area are protected.

The new high ropes course and zip line will be constructed in the wooded area near South Run RECenter in Springfield.

New Improvements Coming to Lake Fairfax Park! By this time next year, you’ll have more recreational options than ever at Lake Fairfax Park in Reston.

Stream Restoration

A new pedestrian bridge is scheduled for construction as part of the Colvin Run restoration project now underway at Lake Fairfax. Colvin Run gets large amounts of stormwater flow that is changing the channel size and alignment in Lake Fairfax Park. As a result, stream banks are eroding, the stream habitat is degraded and park infrastructure is subject to storm damage. This project will restore 1,700 feet of Colvin Run below the Lake Fairfax dam, and almost 500 feet of tributaries. It will also provide better access to the stream for recreation and environmental education but protect banks from excessive foot traffic that can kill vegetation and cause erosion. The stream restoration project is a partnership between Dept. of Public Works and Environmental Services and the Fairfax County Park Authority. Project construction is scheduled to run from Sept. 16, 2016 to May 26, 2017. During this time the stream below the lake dam will be fenced off. Road and bridge construction will require Lake Fairfax Drive across Colvin Run below the dam to be closed from Jan. 1 to Mar. 31, 2017.

Bike riding

Plans are underway to construct a pump track near the Lake Fairfax soccer fields. A pump track is a continuous loop of dirt berms and “rollers” (smooth dirt mounds) that you ride without pedaling. The name comes from the pumping motion used by the rider’s upper and lower body as he or she rides around the track. It’s a great workout and lots of fun! Pump tracks can be ridden by cyclists of all ages and skill levels, and almost any bicycle will work; BMX bikes, mountain bikes, kids bikes - even “scooter” bikes can be used. All you really need is a bike with knobby tires and a safety helmet. It’s a great way to increase bike handling skills for younger riders and for the whole family to enjoy cycling in a safe, traffic-free environment.

Fall 2016

Campground

You’ll notice big changes at the Lake Fairfax campground, too. The bathhouse near the campground is being replaced with a new facility that meets modern-day standards for efficiency and accessibility. The restroom near the picnic area is also being replaced. Campground area construction is expected to begin in August. The bathhouse will be closed from Aug. 15, 2016 to May 26, 2017; the picnic area restroom is scheduled to be closed from Sept. 6, 2016 to May 26, 2017. 5

quarters” years old, and already has what seasoned golfers refer to as “the bug.” “I saw it on TV and just wanted to do golf,” he said with enthusiastic determination. Parent-and-child golf classes at Pinecrest Golf Course gave him and the opportunity to learn the game with his mother. “Gretchen had never golfed before and thought it Chris and Elizabeth was something they could do together,” said Dain's Fleury practice putting father, Matt Whitehead, a casual golfer who accompaon the green. nied Dain one Saturday when his mom had a scheduling conflict. “The instruction is good here, the class is just the right length – one hour for five weeks, and what’s nice about this program is they supply the clubs for the lessons, so you don’t have to make a big investment.” Chris Fleury thought it was a good way to spend time with his 13-year-old daughter, Elizabeth. “We enjoyed learning together,” he said. “She already thinks she’s better than I am.” “I am,” she said with a determined smile. “My [maternal] grandpa was a big golfer, so it’s in my blood,” she reasoned. Parents say instructor, Bill Pessaud, has a knack for connecting with young children on their level while differentiating instruction for older children and adults. “I haven’t done golf for a long time,” said 9-year-old Joseph L. Granato, “and Mr. Bill is really helping me out by teaching me how to use clubs and corrects the mistakes that I make.” His father, Joseph R.

whose gentle encouragement inspires confidence in his students. “I love children, and I want them to have a good experience from start to finish,” said the certified golf instructor and Sunday school teacher who plays the game with his own son and grandsons. “If they’re comfortable with the setting, they’ll be more confident playing.” The parent-and-child golf class begins with fundamentals like grip, posture and ball alignment and progresses to putting, chipping and full-swing drives. Pessaud also stresses the importance of following the rules, proper etiquette and safety. “If you hit the ball in the woods, don’t reach in with your hand to get the ball; use the club to get it out because there might be poison ivy,” he explained during a lesson on tee shots. “If the ball goes into the water, don’t try to go in and get it because you could slip and fall in.” He says safety is his number one priority when teaching children how to play golf, followed by good sportsmanship. “Golf is an integrity sport, and there’s no referee and no umpire,” he explained. “People who are too intense are not fun to play with. The most important thing is to have fun.” In the spirit of good sportsmanship, young Joseph Granato surprised Pessaud with a thoughtful gesture during the last class – a handmade thank-you note. “I’m going to keep playing and get better, for at least 25 years,” Granato said. The child’s appreciation made Passaud feel as though he had won the Masters. “See, this is why I do it,” Pessaud said. “This is why I like to work with children.” Golf classes and private lessons are available for players of all ages.

Exercise Class Makes You ‘Feel Like a Kid Again’

rop into the ABCs of Deep Water Exercise class at Oak Marr RECenter, and you plunge into a session that may seem more like playtime than exercise. Students say that’s because instructor Phil Russell makes this fitness class fun by combining his sense of humor with creative aerobic, balance and core movements using water exercise bars, balls and noodles for a challenging, total-body workout. “It’s amazing,” said Suzanne Flynn of Oak Hill. “This is the first class I’ve ever come to and stuck with.” “Stand with both feet on the noodle, 10 inches apart,” Russell says as he leads the class in a balance exercise. A few seconds later, the students are laughing as they step up to the challenge in the deepest end of the pool. “I compare it to surfing, almost, when you balance on the noodle sometimes with both feet, sometimes with one foot and sometimes kneeling,” Flynn said. “Everyone is always smiling and giggling in this class; it’s like you are a little kid again.” The class begins with 10 minutes of aero-

bic exercise. The rest of the time is devoted to weight and resistance training. Russell keeps the pace moving, so there’s little chance students will lose interest in any individual exercise. “It’s a fun class, and I like the music,” said Tina McElhatton of Vienna. “He puts a lot of thought into it and explains what muscle groups you’re working – things I’ve never heard of before. He knows what he’s doing.” Russell’s ability to connect with his class may stem from his personal experiences with mobility and exercise. “Years ago, I suffered a back injury and the chiropractor said I’d never be right,” he recalled. “I was in my 40s at the time, and my challenge was to get moving.” He admits land exercises didn’t appeal to him, “I’m flat-footed,” and he had to find something that kept his attention, “I get bored easily doing the same thing day in and day out.” So he plunged into water exercise classes, overcame his injury and enjoyed the

activity so much, his instructor encouraged him to become certified to teach the class. Now, he’s in his 60s, moves with the agility of someone half his age, and prides himself on keeping his students engaged as he has for the past seven years. “People in this class are very attentive, and are willing to try different things” he said. “They like the faster pace, and I like to change the moves and mix it up.” It’s a winning fitness strategy that has produced some amazing results. “One student who used to have to use a motorized cart at the grocery store lost more than 100 lbs. in two years, and now she walks with a normal gait,” he said. “Another student who has Parkinson’s disease showed significant mobility improvement with consistent water exercise.” The success stories inspire Russell to keep researching new ways to “mix it up” for interest. That alone seems to be the motivation for his students to keep coming back. “We do something a little different every time,” McElhatton said. “It’s fun.” Russell teaches the ABCs of Deep Water Exercise Mondays and Wednesdays at 10 a.m. at Oak Marr RECenter. It’s one of more than 300 drop-in classes offered at all nine Fairfax County RECenters. For drop-in class schedules at your RECenter, visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks. 7

Get the Best View of Nature’s Wonders by Boat

NOVEMBER 8, 2016

Climb aboard the Burke Lake Park tour boat for a birding excursion that is sure to please year-round. Birding by boat allows you to get closer Bald Eagle views of birds and other wildlife than you can get on foot. “When you approach birds on land, they see you as a threat and fly away before you can get very close,” said Park Authority naturalist Tony Bulmer. “They are less scared when the tour boat approaches because they don’t recognize it as a human threat on water.” Burke Lake’s naturalist-led Birding-on-the-Boat programs give you an hour-long opportunity to get a unique, sneak peek at birds and Egret other wildlife, especially during the fall migration. Some of the best glimpses come as the boat approaches the island in the lake, where the birds live quite comfortably away from human interaction. “The island is frequented by egrets and great blue herons, and there’s a bald

eagle’s nest there,” Bulmer said. “We also see wood ducks, basking turtles and other creatures that call Burke Lake home.” During the fall, Bulmer says you’ll see more unusual birds, like double-crested cormorants, common mergansers and buffleheads as they migrate south to warmer climates for the winter. For some birds, Bulmer says Burke Lake is the warmer winter destination. “Loons normally live in cooler climates further north like Maine and Canada, and we see them at Burke Lake in the winter when the northern temperatures become bitterly cold,” he said. The boat leaves the dock early because the best times to look for birds are dawn and dusk. So rise and shine, grab your binoculars head to a Birding-on-the-Boat program at Burke Lake this fall for one of nature’s greatest shows on earth! Becca MacDonald, Bugwood.org

Schedules and fee information for Birding on the Boat are listed in the Nature section. You can also find the information in Parktakes online: www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/parktakes; keyword search: Birding on the Boat.

Election Day Cancelations Because voter turnout is expected to be very high on Election Day, and parking will be limited, Oak Marr, South Run and Spring Hill RECenters, which are designated polling places, are making the following scheduling changes for that day, Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2016: • All classes scheduled from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at all three RECenters will be canceled. • All rentals scheduled from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. will be canceled. Fitness rooms, swimming pools and racquetball courts will be open for training on your own. FCPS high school swim and dive practices will be held as scheduled, and the Spring Hill RECenter preschool will be open on Election Day.

Fairfax County 4-H Fair Provides Competition for All Turn your hidden talent into an award-winner at this year’s 4-H Fair and Carnival at Frying Pan Farm Park! Anyone can enter in more than a dozen categories ranging from gardening and horticulture to handcrafts and photography. Bruce Anderson, a retired engineer from Herndon, decided to enter his handmade wooden bowls in last year’s contest. “I was already familiar with 4-H because I grew up on a farm in South Dakota and we raised cattle and hogs and entered the livestock competitions through grade school,” he said. “Woodworking has been a hobby of mine for the last 12 to 15 years, so I showed up with Bruce Anderson with his prizemy bowls on the first day, filled out the paperwork winning handmade bowls. and left the bowls to put on display.” Anderson returned to the fair a few days later with his neighbor’s children to enjoy the carnival rides and to explore the contest exhibits. When they got to the woodworking area, Anderson was surprised to see that his craftsmanship was not only a first-place winner; it was awarded Best in Show. “It was an honor, and it was really fun for the kids to see all of the agricultural exhibits, too” he said. “I think it’s important for them to see things growing in their natural state and to know where their food comes from.” Anderson says he’ll sit out for this year’s competition, which means another grand champion will be crowned in the crafts & woodworking category. He hopes many other people will display their own handiwork in the time-honored tradition of friendly completion at the 4H fair. “Just bring whatever you are passionate about,” he said. “The more that’s there, the more it will enrich the fair experience.” This year’s Fairfax County 4-H Fair and Carnival takes place Aug. 6-7 at Frying Pan Farm Park. For contest categories, entry requirements and preview activities and events, visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/fryingpanpark.

The 4-H Fair has many categories in which you can display your talents. Fall 2016

Volunteer Spotlight Dannia Godinez Spring Hill RECenter

Dannia received the 2016 Outstanding Volunteer Award from Spring Hill manager Shawna Levins.

When Dannia Godinez signed up to volunteer at Spring Hill RECenter, she looked forward to learning from the many people she would meet in the course of her work. The 24-year-old au pair from Guadalajara, Mexico has free time when the children she helps rear are in school, and she thought volunteering would be a good way to serve others while learning about American culture and practicing her English. “I like it here,” she said. “The staff makes me feel appreciated, and it feels like we’re a little family. It makes me miss my home a little bit less.” Godinez wears many hats at Spring Hill. Three days per week, the daughter of two physicians helps with administrative tasks, helps decorate for special events, helps with gardening projects, empties trash cans, cleans locker rooms and tidies up the fitness room among other things. Her outgoing personality and winning smile make it easy for her to interact with Spring Hill’s multicultural clientele while she works. “I enjoy meeting customers from other countries,” she said with interest. “For, example I met a lady from Turkey the other day, and there was another customer from Germany. My host family is also multicultural; Greek and Indian, and I really enjoy learning from them.” Godinez, a college graduate with a degree in marketing, delights in comparing and contrasting cultures while she takes on any number of tasks at Spring Hill RECenter, and the staff and customers enjoy learning from her. She says the biggest cultural difference she has noticed is food preferences. The cultural similarities she has observed are universal, such as courtesy and respect. “When I’m cleaning the fitness equipment customers will stop and say ‘thank you for doing that,’ or ‘we appreciate your service.” It’s a meaningful exchange that extends way beyond any border. For Godinez, it’s the experience of a lifetime that is sure to enhance her chosen profession, perhaps in teaching, once she returns to Mexico next year.

Aquatics

Aquatics The Fairfax County Park Authority’s aquatic facilities offer something for everyone. From infants to senior citizens to people with special needs, we serve all levels of swimming ability and aquatic interests. Monthly calendars listing pool hours are available at the Park Authority’s nine RECenters and online at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks.

Follow guidelines when registering

If it has been a month or longer since the student has participated in a swimming lesson, we suggest repeating the previous course completed. If you have any questions about which class is right for you or your child, please contact the aquatic staff at your favorite RECenter. For safety reasons and to ensure customers get the maximum aquatic program benefits, the Park Authority reserves the right to remove students from an inappropriate class and either issue a refund or place them, when possible, in a class that better matches their ability level.

Practice and Repetition are keys to success

Each student progresses at a different speed in learning aquatic skills, depending on a number of factors including class attendance, coordination, water familiarity and outside practice. Students often repeat a level several times before developing the endurance and skill proficiency necessary for advancement. Repeating a level does not constitute failure; it is to be expected. Mastering skills takes time, practice and patience.

Combining course levels

When enrollment is low, course levels may be combined to avoid class cancelations.

The Four Sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of Water Safety: Supervision Secure Swim Safe

Fall 2016

Each child should be directly supervised by an adult, even in the presence lifeguards. Non swimmers should be within reach of the supervising adult at all times. Secure your private pool with a locking fence. Learn how to swim well. The Fairfax County Park Authority offers a wide variety of swimming and water safety classes. Swim in safe areas only. It is ideal to swim only in places that are supervised by a lifeguard.

Accidents in the pool involving vomit or fecal matter require the pool being closed to clean and sanitize the water. Under Health Department standards recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), accidents involving fecal matter now require longer pool closure. Prevention is far better than clean up, so please follow the CDC guidelines: • Children (and adults) who have had diarrhea in the last two weeks should not go swimming. • Be sure to use the bathroom before getting into the pool, go on frequent bathroom breaks. For public health reasons, standard diapers cannot be worn in the pool. Children who are not yet toilet trained must wear snug fitting plastic pants and/or a swim diaper under their bathing suit. Waist and legs on plastic pants or swim diapers must be snug enough to contain matter that could contaminate the pool. Please check diapers often, and change them in the locker room not on the pool deck. • Adults who have continence issues should refrain from using the pool. • Shower before entering the pool and after using the toilet. • Avoid swallowing pool water or even getting it in your mouth.

The newest water exercise sensation is a throwback to olden days. Tone your balance and your body with logrolling. Logrolling for Beginners

Prerequisite: Must be able to swim 25 yds. and comfortably tread water for at least one minute. Before roads and trains, logs were transported by rivers from forests to sawmills by lumberjacks. The critical 19th century logrolling skills later evolved into a competitive sport that still exists today.

Please note: • Dogs that display fear or aggression are not permitted in Park Authority classes. • Bring a shot record with proof of DHLA rabies and parvovirus shots to the first class. • All dogs must be legally licensed, vaccinated, wearing a visible dog license and leashed when entering or leaving the class area. • Check with instructor at first class for proper leashes, collars and other equipment. • An adult must stay with child handler if student is younger than 16 or does not have own transportation. • All classes are held outdoors. • Register the handler, not the dog; one handler/ one dog per registration. Some classes may have supply fees so check class descriptions for details. Any supply fees are payable to instructor at first class and are non-refundable.

Dog Training One-on-One

Lake Accotink Park offers individualized dog training lessons taught by an instructor with more than 20 years of experience actively training dogs, training other people how to train dogs, and competing in dog sports. Sessions are customized to your dog’s level of behavioral development and tailored to your schedule. Includes a pre-session phone consultation with the instructor to determine your goals and to set a date and time for your first session. An excellent option for busy people who need more flexibility than weekly lessons can provide.
