Parkside Who Says 13 is Unlucky? While it is often difficult to tell how voters feel about some issues, it’s clear that Fairfax County voters value their parks! The 2016 park bond was the 13th consecutive park bond approved by county voters since the first one back in 1959, and we are grateful for the continued support in assuring great parks and great communities for generations to come. Parks improve the quality of life for everyone, and the voterapproved $94.7 million investment in our county park system will be used to upgrade and improve many of our aging parks and facilities. Park Authority work will include a focus on taking care of what we have in our great park system as well as preserving cultural and natural resources, protecting and preserving open space and building and renovating parks to meet community need in all areas of the county. Current priorities include renovations and upgrades for trails and bridges, playgrounds, athletic fields and courts, picnic shelters and RECenters, natural resource and ecological restorations, and historic site and building preservation. In addition, system-wide energy management improvements will continue to expand to create a more sustainable park system through the use of new technologies that reduce water and energy consumption. Look for improvements and enhancements at Burke Lake, Lake Accotink, Lee District, Laurel Hill Park and a much-needed renovation and upgrade at Mount Vernon RECenter, which is nearly 40 years old. Other system-wide priorities include improvements to community and neighborhood parks across the county. The 2016 park bond priorities reflect the wishes of the community – the needs you told us about in surveys, focus groups and public meetings. We are fortunate to live in a community that is willing to make the investment in our award-winning park system, as it has from the Fairfax County Park Authority’s very beginning. On behalf of the Park Authority, thank you for entrusting us with those resources. We pledge to use them wisely to provide you with improved parks and recreation facilities and opportunities for years to come!

Laurel Hill Sets Up for The First Tee A world of opportunity awaits children and teens at Laurel Hill Golf Club. The renowned program, named The First Tee, is for students age 7-18 and teaches golf skills and life skills encompassing core values that help young players flourish both on and off the golf course. It is being offered at Laurel Hill in partnership with The First Tee of Greater Washington, D.C. Drew White’s journey began seven years ago, just after his grandfather introduced the then 10-year-old to the game and encouraged him to take lessons through The First Tee. His parents signed him up and White says it has helped him succeed in school, on the golf course and in building lasting friendships. “They teach a lot of life skills and goal setting and they instilled in me the nine core values associated with golf,” said the Annandale High School senior. “They also teach you to build a ‘go-to’ team – people you can go to for help with golf, school or relationships.” White learned well and attained a 3.4-handicap skill level that made him eligible for opportunities that might have otherwise seemed unimaginable, like playing golf at world-famous courses and connecting with wellknown golf professionals and accomplished business leaders. “There are thousands of opportunities at your doorstep; not just golf opportunities,” he said enthusiastically. “I got to play in the First Tee Open at Pebble Beach Golf Links and met CEOs of companies and celebrities, and it was a ton of fun.” Through those connections came internship offers and a scholarship. White says he also had a ton of fun meeting Brandt Snedeker and dining with Phil Mickelson at a President’s Cup ceremony at the White House. Perhaps his fondest memory is one from 2013 when the then 13-year-old Drew White was paired up to play in a pro-am tournament at Congressional Country Club with an 18-year-old, newly turned pro named Jordan Spieth. “I had a ton of fun playing together with him,” White said enthusiastically. “He was helping me with my swing, and we played 11 holes together and then lightning moved in and we had to get off the course.” The First Tee White says he and the future Masters Nine Core Values and U.S. Open champion bonded like • Honesty • Responsibility brothers that day, and rather than eat in the pro players’ dining area, Spieth • Integrity • Perseverance opted to join Drew and his father and • Sportsmanship • Courtesy coaches for lunch. White says Spieth • Respect • Judgment continues to show an interest in what • Confidence he’s doing. “He follows me on Twitter,” Top to bottom: Drew he said with a grin. being coached by pro Today, in the same spirit that so many have nurtured in him, Drew White golfer Jordan Spieth; helps coach students enrolled in The First Tee program at Laurel Hill. “I at a tourmament with love helping kids and want to spark that inspiration in them the way people his grandfather, Robert helped me when I was their age,” he said.

Rare Wildlife Returns to Huntley Meadows Treat yourself and your family to some of the best nature watching in the region this spring at Huntley Meadows Park. Spring rains fill the wetlands, and the warming weather causes an explosion of plant and animal life. When combined with the unique, half-mile, wetland boardwalk trail and observation tower, visitors to this special place are treated to views of nature that aren’t easily seen, and this year, there’s a good chance you’ll see rare wildlife species that haven’t been seen in the park for years. “The plant and wildlife communities in the wetland are flourishing as a result of the 2013 wetland restoration project,” said Huntley Meadows natural resource manager Dave Lawler. “As a result, we’re seeing more wildlife diversity here than we have in the past 12 years.” For decades, Huntley Meadows Park has been known for its vast beauty, rich history, and as a home for rare birds, including King Rails, Virginia Rails, American Bitterns and Least Bitterns. But in the 1990s, urban growth and other environmental factors led to the wetland habitats’ decline, putting its standing as one of the best places in the region for bird watching in jeopardy. Thanks to the support of Fairfax County residents and continuing natural resource management, rare local and regional bird sightings are on the rise again as the habitat continues to mend. Opportunities abound year-round to join a naturalist on a family walk, a beginning birding class or an evening stroll, and springtime is great time to be on the lookout for new arrivals. The park is open dawn to dusk, and early morning hours are best for birding while later afternoon is best to try your luck at beaver spotting. Huntley Meadows always holds surprises, so be on the lookout for its other watchable wildlife like muskrats, dragonflies and a long list of reptiles and amphibians at any time of day. One of the best opportunities to see the park's spring wildlife activity and to learn more about the importance of wetlands is during Huntley Meadows Park Wetlands Awareness Day, May 7. The free event includes lots of expert staff and volunteers at interactive wildlife displays along the trail and other family-friendly activities. For more information, turn to the Events section.

Volunteer Spotlight

Mark Aitken-Cade

Stop by Oak Marr RECenter, and you can see how Mark Aitken-Cade and his team of volunteers from Premium Lawn and Landscape have transformed a lackluster space outside the aquatic center into a vibrant, outdoor patio. “It’s always fun taking unusable space and changing it to an area for relaxation or entertainment or to throw a ball with the kids,” he said. “That’s what makes it fun.” The design makes the most of the space with a large patio area for tables and chairs flanked by two pergolas. The volunteer landscape team also installed a small, environmentally friendly water feature to promote a feeling of tranquility. “We centered the water feature to manage acoustics, utilizing the building to mitigate noise from the street,” Aitken-Cade said. The outdoor setting is already getting rave reviews from RECenter patrons who enjoyed the new space recently on an unseasonably warm winter day. “The feedback has been really, really positive,” said RECenter manager Kirt Chase. “One lady told me she’s going to start bringing a book to read while she’s sitting out there waiting for her child to finish a class. It’s very peaceful.” It took a considerable amount of effort to create this lasting legacy. But Aitken-Cade says he and his company’s employees see it as a worthy investment of their time. “Everyone who works here lives in the area,” he said, “and we wanted to provide something back to the community.”

Adapted Swimming 1

• 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 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 S’s of Water Safety:

Supervision Secure Swim Safe

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.

Practice Healthy Swimming Habits

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.

Please check with the site for more information.

Camp Forms and Check-In: To expedite the

check-in process, please make copies of your child’s forms for each camp and each week. Forms are not transferred from one camp to another.

Pool Closures: Please note some of our RECenter pools may be closed in late August for maintenance and cleaning. Contact the RECenter directly for details. Host-a-Coach Program: We are always looking

for families who would like to host a British soccer coach for a week during the summer. In turn for hosting, families earn a free week of British soccer camp. For application and details, visit www.fairfaxcounty. gov/parks/campforms.

Camp Cancelations: It is important to register

early! Camps that do not meet minimum requirements for enrollment may be canceled.

Helpful Hints for Parents:

• Complete one set of forms and make multiple copies of the completed set.

(4-5 yrs.) Campers explore modern sport-fencing

basics including rules, terminology and techniques in a safe and entertaining environment. Emphasis is placed on physical fitness, mind-body coordination, self-discipline and respect, an important part of the chivalric fencing tradition. Young D’Artagnans wear safety equipment and use special swords made of plastic. A safety waiver and equipment fee of $49 payable to instructor are due on the first day.

In Junior Golf Camp, kids build character, concentration and skill while having fun. Known as the physical game of chess, fencing improves coordination, balance, grace and agility. Campers are introduced to both modern Olympic sport fencing (Foil, Epee, Saber), as well as historical swordsmanship (Medieval Longsword, Renaissance Rapier and Dagger, Scottish Broadsword), as they learn to fence with safety-tipped swords and protective gear. Available as a half-day or full-day option. Full-day campers, bring a lunch and drink for a supervised break. A safety waiver and equipment fee of $49 payable to instructor are due on the first day.

Pet Place Our dog obedience classes help build a strong relationship between pet and handler by developing understanding and communication. Flexible training methods are employed for home management, problem solving and correction. 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.

Off-Leash Dogs Welcome in Special Dog Parks

Owners of well-mannered canines can take their pets to fenced, off-leash dog parks for free play, a good run or a friendly romp with other dogs. FCPA has nine established dog parks:
