Parkside RECenter Vending Gets a Makeover As the Park Authority’s wellness coordinator, it warms my heart to hear how our RECenters have changed lives for the better. For example, I remember the inspiring story of one man who turned to his RECenter fitness director for exercise and nutritional guidance to lose weight. He followed the advice, lost a considerable amount of weight over time and ultimately learned from his doctor that he no longer needed medication to manage his obesity-related high blood pressure and high cholesterol. His commitment to himself to maintain a healthy lifestyle changed his life forever. Part of the Park Authority’s mission is to engage the public in leading healthy and active lifestyles. This includes both exercise and nutrition. While we excel at providing hundreds of monthly fitness and wellness options for our customers, we recently realized the contents of our vending machines fell short in nutritional standards. In keeping with our mission, we set out to find tasty, more nutritious snacks and beverages with less sugar and fat, and in researching the options we were surprised to find that nationwide, healthful vending options outsell more traditional options 3-to-1. It seems that the goal of making good nutritional choices is catching on! These days, you’ll find that our RECenter soft drink machines have been replaced with new, Hello Goodness machines offering water, juice and sports drinks. We are also in the process of stocking our snack machines with choices that meet or exceed USDA and American Heart Association standards for vending. Additionally, you will be able to purchase everything for $1 with the option to use a credit card, if you choose. So, whether you’re visiting the RECenter for yourself or for your family, you can feel good about the nutritional value of the snacks and beverages you choose from our machines.

Enjoy Fall Festivities in Parks

With its mild weather and brilliant colors, autumn is a great time to venture out and explore Fairfax County parks. There are so many fun things to do, you may have a hard time choosing!

Fall Colors

Hike or bike the trails for traditional views of nature’s glorious woodland display of gold, orange and red leaves, or consider a new perspective by kayak or tour boat. Follow Riverbend Park’s marked tree trail to see the colors and identify 20 different tree varieties, including some that were important to Virginia Indians. Whether you choose to explore by land or by boat, let a Park Authority naturalist be your guide. Programs are listed in the Nature and Outdoor Recreation sections.

Birding

Fall’s first cold snap cues feathered flocks to fly south before winter’s bitter cold sets in. The fall migration gives you a chance to catch a glimpse of birds you wouldn’t normally see here as they pass through on their way to their winter homes. Sign up for a bird walk with a naturalist, or enjoy birding on the tour boat. Programs are listed in the Nature and Outdoor Recreation sections.

Halloween

From holiday hayrides to trick-or-treating, there’s plenty of Halloween season fun to go around. Enjoy old-fashioned traditions during Historic All Hallows Eve at Sully Historic Site. Learn how to make a scarecrow at Colvin Run Mill, or show off your pet’s unique personality at the Howl-O-Ween Dog Costume Contest at Lake Accotink Park. Mark your calendar for trick-or-treating at the Lake Fairfax campground Oct. 28, and enjoy a warm campfire with s’mores and stories while you’re there. For details on these and many more Halloween season happenings, turn to the Events, History and Outdoor Recreation sections.

Fall 2017

Festivals

Celebrate the fall harvest and other seasonal activities in parks. In September, history comes alive with tribal dancing, songs and drumming at the Virginia Indian Festival at Riverbend Park. In October, enjoy seasonal family fun at the Lake Fairfax Park Pumpkin Festival or jump into carnival fun at Frying Pan Farm Park’s fall carnival. Details are in the Events section.

Green Spring Master Gardeners Program Celebrates 15 Years Nancy Tillinghast knows there’s something reassuring about working in the garden. It’s a feeling deeply rooted in her 4-H beginnings in Ohio, and it has sustained her throughout her life. “One moment that resonates with me is the day I was volunteering with others, working in a garden at River Farm on the Potomac a few days after 9/11,” she recalled. “Lots of military aircraft were flying around, and it occurred to me that I couldn’t think of a better place to be than in the garden, planting things. The setting was comforting, hopeful and beautiful and antithetical to war and chaos going on at the time.” One year later, she found herself using her passion for plants to cultivate seeds of hope within the community as a master gardener at Green Spring Gardens. “I like focusing on public outreach and education, and I love to share my passion for the garden with people,” she said. From its very inception in 2002, the Green Spring Master Gardeners Program has worked toward a single guiding principle: to work within the community to encourage and promote environmentally sound horticulture practices in partnership with Virginia Cooperative Extension. Tillinghast was among the Tillinghast, top, tends to the coneflowers. Left and bottom: Members of the volunteer corps weed, water and clean at Green Spring Gardens.

Master Gardener Nancy Tillinghast spends some quality teaching time with two young gardenersin-training at Green Spring Gardens first to sign up for the 13-week training course to become a certified master gardener and help grow the program. As she looks back over the past 15 years, she marvels at the way the volunteer program has developed to serve the community. “We wanted to find accessible ways to promote sustainable landscaping and environmental awareness within Fairfax County,” Tillinghast recalled. “In the early years, we began developing a library of power point presentations and exhibits, which now number about 50. In recent years, we have developed a variety of brochures, poster boards and activities highlighting the seasons, pollinators, natives and the like. The program has evolved in such wonderful ways and has expanded way beyond my expectations.” Today, nearly 160 certified master gardeners provide thousands of volunteer service hours to the community in a variety of ways. They staff public information booths at local farmers’ markets. They provide presentations on sustainable gardening practices to community groups. They work in elementary schools teaching fourth grade students sustainable gardening practices through the county extension’s Ready, Set, Grow gardening curriculum. They support an active family and children’s education program at Green Spring. They offer adult educational seminars including the annual EcoSavvy Symposium. They cultivate and care for the demonstration gardens at Green Spring Gardens, and they lead people on garden tours to explain what is in the garden and why it is good for the environment. “It’s been fun, and I’ve enjoyed every single activity I’ve become involved with,” Tillinghast said. “It’s all about getting back to basics and promoting health and well-being among our citizens.” To learn more about the Green Spring Gardens Master Gardener Program, stop by the information booth held at the park on Saturdays or stop by the information booth at your local farmers’ market or call the park at (703) 642-5173.

Emerald Ash Borer Takes a Heavy Toll on County Trees

But Because the emerald ash borer infestation has reached these days, the lush, green forest canopy itself is showing epidemic proportions in Virginia, the dead ash trees far outsigns of trouble. Leafless trees with tan or white bark stick number the living. Forestry experts say every ash tree in out like a sore thumb – the result of a plague that is killing Fairfax County is infested, and the Park Authority’s six-perash trees – the emerald ash borer. The half-inch beetle with son forestry operations crew, which usually spends its time a green and bronze body attacks ash trees, and their larvae maintaining trails, is now relegated to the role of ash tree feed on the inner bark, leaving distinctive D-shaped exit undertakers. For public safety reasons, they spend their holes and disrupting the tree’s ability to transport water and days cutting down the brittle ash tree carcasses in parks to nutrients. Unless the infestation is caught early and treated, prevent injury from falling timber to unsuspecting hikers or the trees will die. “It is amazing how fast the trees die,” said animals. “Once the ash trees dry out, they fall quickly, and Fairfax County Park Authority forestry operations manager it doesn’t have to be windy,” Diffenderfer said. “The tree Scott Diffenderfer. “From the point of first infestation to loses structural integrity, and there’s no indication when it is tree death is about 12 to 18 months.” going to fail.

New Carousel Comes to Lee District Park

Children can take a spin on a new carousel at Lee District Park. The new feature opened in June to the delight of park visitors who already enjoy other park attractions such as the accessible treehouse, the Tiki Village Playground and Chessie’s Big Backyard. The new carousel includes Chesapeake Bay-themed animals including a turtle, frog, hummingbird and swan, as well as traditional horses. The attraction and new picnic shelters complete the final construction phase of the Lee District Park Family Recreation Area, which was supported by the Fairfax County Park Foundation. Donors who contribute $10,000 to the Foundation get to “adopt” and name one of the carousel animals. Carousels, pedal boats and mini golf are among the amusements in several Fairfax County Parks. To learn more, turn to the Attractions section.

Volunteer Spotlight

Geoff Shearer Frying Pan Farm Park

You could think of Geoff Shearer as Frying Pan Farm Park’s accidental volunteer. The former U.S. Navy pilot and retired air traffic controller was first recruited by his daughter, Becky, to help restore a couple of antique radios at the park’s Kidwell Farm house. “She was doing her college internship at the time and heard the radios weren’t working, and she said, ‘My dad can fix those,’” he recalled. The task was a perfect fit for Shearer, an avid antique radio collector with a passion for preserving the past. “At one time people relied on the radio for news, the [President Franklin Roosevelt’s] fireside chats, entertainment and sports,” he said. “It is taken for granted now, and we need to preserve that history and the radio’s impact on American culture.” Because of Shearer’s historical interest in radios, he was asked to set up an “It’s Electric” display in the farmhouse dining area during the summer. That’s when he realized there were other ways he could be of service. He started working as a docent sharing the history of simpler times with students and other farmhouse visitors. “I especially like talking with fifth and sixth graders,” he said with a smile. “Their eyes come alive, and I remember a mother had to drag her children out of here one day because they were so engrossed in what I was saying. There’s a

Shearer shares the history behind the antique radio display in the farmhouse. heritage here, and I think it is pretty significant.” Shearer’s volunteer duties expanded well beyond the farmhouse walls over the past two years. “Someone came to me one day and asked if I wanted to drive the tractor for wagon rides,” he recalled. “I thought, ‘I’m a guy who flew airplanes. Surely, I can learn to drive a tractor,’” a job he easily mastered and seems to enjoy as much as his passengers relish the ride. These days, Shearer’s passion is a family affair. He spends about four hours a week volunteering where needed; his wife, Wendy, volunteers in the garden, and Becky now works at Frying Pan Farm as a part-time employee. He has also recruited some of his friends to volunteer for what he sees as a purposeful journey to preserve the past so that future generations will know what life was like on the farm during simpler times. “It’s a gratifying experience, there’s lots to do, and you never get bored,” he said. Shearer with daughter Becky, who works at Frying Pan Farm Park, and wife Wendy, who also volunteers as a gardener.

Adapted Recreation

for Customers with Disabilities ADA/Inclusion Support

In keeping with the Americans with Disabilities Act, Fairfax County is committed to giving all citizens equal access to recreation and leisure opportunities. Park Authority activities, programs, camps and classes are inclusive, and reasonable accommodations are available for people with disabilities. ADA accommodations include sign interpreters, assistive listening devices, program modifications and inclusion support. To request accommodations, or for more information about adapted program opportunities, call (703) 3248563. The Park Authority makes every attempt to provide accommodations; however, fulfillment of requests received with less than 10 days’ notice cannot be guaranteed.

Facility Accessibility

The Fairfax County Park Authority offers parks and facilities that are accessible to all of Fairfax County residents. For information on accessible features or issues associated with usage, call (703) 324-8563 or visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/ parks.

Adapted Aquatics The Park Authority’s award-winning Adapted Aquatics program offers individualized swimming and water activity instruction for individuals with physical and intellectual disabilities. The program’s structured setting is ideal for individuals who aren’t ready to learn basic swim skills in a general recreation environment. Classes are conducted by certified instructors and trained volunteers to support a low student-to-instructor ratio. For more information, call (703) 324-8565.

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 Adapted Aquatics Coordinator at 703-324-8565. 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.

Practice and Repetition are keys to success

Each student progresses at a different speed in learning aquatic skills. 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.

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

Small-Group Swim Lessons NEW! Small-Group Lessons

RECenters now offer small-group lessons. This new lesson option complements the Park Authority’s other swim instruction offerings: • Private lessons for students ages 3 to adult offer one-on-one instruction solely based on the student’s skill level. • Semi-private lessons for students ages 3 to adult offer instruction between one instructor and two participants of similar ability. • Small-group lessons offer the same curriculum as the larger, traditional group lessons but to a smaller group of swimmers. Small-group lessons lower student-to-teacher ratios, offer more personalized instruction and more practice time than large-group lessons. • Traditional group lessons offer a comprehensive curriculum for participants ranging in age from 6 mos. to adult.

Practice Healthy Swimming Habits

Accidents in the pool involving vomit or fecal matter require the pool to be 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 and take 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.

Aquatics Pee Wee Paddler I

(3-5 yrs.) Prerequisite: Child must leave parent will-

ingly, be comfortable in the water, follow directions and function well in a group. When possible, children are grouped per ability. Class emphasizes helping children gain basic aquatic skills including entering and exiting the water safely, blowing bubbles three seconds with mouth and nose submerged, submerging under water. With assistance students learn to float and glide on front and back, rolling from front to back and back to front, swimming using arms and legs on front and back at least two body lengths. For safety reasons, flotation devices may be used. Flotation devices are used for all Pee Wee I classes at Audrey Moore and LeeRECs. 4AA 4AB 4AC 4AD 4AE 4AF 4AG 4AH 4AI

Ice Skating

Ice Skating Ice skating classes:

• Offered at Mt. Vernon Ice Arena at Mt. Vernon RECenter and Fairfax Ice Arena. • Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before your class begins to allow ample time to “gear up”. • Prior to the first class, students should attend a public session to become accustomed to the ice and to determine proper skate fitting. • Recommended clothing is a sweater or jacket, knit hat, gloves or mittens and warm, comfortable, slacks. • Ice skating classes include free admissions to public skating sessions equal to the number of classes. All group-lesson students are entitled to free rental skates for use during lessons and practice sessions. • Although there are no equipment requirements except as noted i*n Hockey 1 and up, head protection (hockey or biking helmets), knee and elbow protection are strongly recommended.

Which Level Is Right For Me? Two different instructional progressions are used for lessons, USFSA (Skate with US – Snowplow Sam, Basic, Freestyle, Adult) and ISI (Ice Skating Institute – Tot, Pre-Alpha, Alpha, Beta). The Park Authority offers the full progression of classes for USFSA and the ISI introductory-level classes for each age group. *Students in one progression may change to the other progression at the appropriate skating level by using the chart below. Consult the course descriptions for more information.

Lake Fairfax Park Pump Track

Burke Lake Park

Bike riders of all ages and skill levels are bound to love the new pump track at Lake Fairfax Park. The track is a continuous loop of dirt berms and rollers that enable you to ride without pedaling.

Almost any bicycle will work; BMX bikes, mountain bikes, kids bikes - even “scooter” bikes can be used on the pump track. 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. The pump track is accessible dawn to dusk year round.

Scout Activities and Badge Programs At our historic sites, working farm, nature centers and RECenters, scouts can complete some or all the requirements for badges, depending on the program. For additional details on the following programs, contact the site directly. See Directions to Parks on pages 10 and 11 for phone numbers. Cost may vary depending on program length, handouts and crafts. Early registration discount and out-of-county fees do not apply. Boy Scouts are required by Boy Scouts of America to bring a blue card signed by their Scoutmaster to any merit badge program. Merit badges require two adults so you may be asked to stay for the program. Prework available at http://go.usa.gov/8re.

Request a program! Sites listed under badge

titles offer flexible scheduling options. Call the site or visit our webpage for details http://go.usa. gov/8re. All programs with advertised times require reservations and advance payment.
