n 2004, the Park Authority adopted a Natural Resource Management Plan and became one of the first local park agencies in the nation to actively work at improving the parklands held in trust for present and future generations. No longer is it enough to simply save “wild” lands from development. Other threats must be countered if the quality and integrity of natural resources are to be protected. We’ve been managing for better natural outcomes for almost five years now, and the results are cause for guarded optimism about the future of our public lands in Fairfax County. Award-winning brochures broadcast the resource management message. A series of 13 inform on topics from spiders, snakes and slime molds to wildlife conflicts and seek to motivate readers to become resource stewards. A laminated flip book identifies non-native invasive plants on hikes or in the garden, and a rain garden booklet offers step-by-step instructions on how to build this resourceful improvement to backyard landscapes. This public educational effort promotes awareness that we all have the power and responsibility to contribute. People are thinking more about resources and their protection. They want to do the right thing. And the right things are happening. The Invasive Management Area (IMA) Volunteer Program is a huge success, winning awards and hearts and making progress in reclaiming parkland for native plants. In the three years since its establishment, IMA has drawn 2,368 volunteers who’ve contributed 10,539 hours on 566 logged work days, and the 33 acres they currently cover show a 24 percent reduction in invasive species. We have Virginia’s most urban burn program in the state’s most populous county. Sixteen patches have gotten this “natural” treatment that gives native plants an edge and results in a healthier, more robust vegetative cover. We’ve built four demonstration rain gardens since 2005.Those examples, backed up by our new how-to book, can help persuade homeowners and businesses of the benefits and make these water savers familiar components of Fairfax County’s landscape. We’ve developed planting guidelines for the county’s 24,000 acres of parkland. We’ve established partnerships, such as our agreement with Earth Sangha, an environmental action group that is removing non-native invasives from the Marie Butler Levin Preserve and replanting locally grown Fairfax County natives. We’ve built public acceptance of deer management; now we can focus on expanding controls on public lands while encouraging hunting on private land. We are developing decision models to guide us in assessing properties and maintaining the balance between saving the best resources and responding to public demands. We’ve increased the communication and collaboration with park neighbors. That’s just a sampling of our investments and their return. We won’t ever have enough money to fix the world here in Fairfax County, but with the understanding and support of elected officials and the citizenry, we’ll have the collective will to take huge steps towards that goal. We need patience and realistic expectations as much as we need commitment.The degradation of natural resources has been going on for a long time; we’re not going to achieve significant progress overnight. Our aim is naturally regenerating native systems. We want to remove the stresses and let the systems take care of themselves. Meanwhile, we need more volunteers to ensure the stress-removal efforts are on-going. If you or your organization is interested in helping to protect and enhance Fairfax County’s natural resources, visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/volunteers or call 703-3248750 to see how you can get involved. Together, we can continue to make the right things happen for the natural resources that we share.

Quick takes The scene at . . .

Tot Time at Audrey Moore RECenter

t’s a vision to spark smiles and gladden hearts. An army of tots - crawlers and toddlers to bike riders and scooter gliders - are playing happily together and sharing toys without a whine or whimper of complaint. For two hours. No arguments, no fights, no tears. Just 30, 40, 50 little ones, five years and younger, smiling, giggling, laughing and shrieking with delight. Plus,

every child has a parent in tow, and the grown-ups tagging along behind seem as pleased as the kids, which sends the good vibes level soaring higher. The display of cheery compatibility is not unique to this particular morning.The RECenter’s celebration of nothing but playtime happens every Friday, 10am to noon, in the gymnasium, from October through March, and the no-fight zone is standard, reports Marc Barton, Audrey Moore’s assistant manager, whose two-year-old daughter Ashley is a Tot Time regular.“The kids love it, and the parents love it, too,” he added, confirming that behavior problems are rare to non-existent. For little ones knee high to an adult, the gymnasium is a vast chamber of infinite possibilities. Empty but for a few mats, playhouse pieces and bags of colorful balls, it invites movement. On this freezing cold morning of winter’s last blast, the early arrivals are giddy at all the space for running, hopping, skipping and jumping. One tiny blonde, pretty in pink with roses in her hair,

throws her arms wide and sprints on tippytoes to the gym’s far side, her eyes squeezed tight with joy. Soon little ones are climbing on the miniature castle and whizzing down the mini-slide. Preschoolers on scooters and two-wheelers with training wheels zoom around the room. Excited squeals mark one toddler’s success at chasing down a red ball, while another announces,“Oh, oh ball!” as he determinedly reaches for the blue ball rolling past without loosening his grip on a little locomotive. Kids watch kids intently, moms and dads trade “Hi!” and “Hey there!” and everywhere, children are abandoning their wheels in favor of someone else’s trike, bike or scooter. The rule seems to be share and share alike. “Honey, that’s not yours,” one mother reminds her child as the boy climbs on an

unattended scooter, left behind as its rider races to the slide.“I don’t think it matters,” advises a regular.“I tried to keep mine off other kids’ bikes until I saw that nobody minds.” The little ones, in particular, are fascinated by the photographer who’s following them around with the flashy thing, and when he lies prone on the gym floor to get a better angle on a shot, a couple of crawlers race knee-after-hand towards him, thinking they’ve found a big new playmate. A late arriving first-timer hangs behind mom, her longing peeks at playmates signaling that she so wants to be part of the fun. She starts to engage, darts back to her mother, then sets out and returns again. But the third time is the charm. She connects, and she’s immediately welcomed into the playgroup with the hand-off of a toy. “This is a great idea for toddlers,” concludes a parent as Tot Time winds down.“It’s a life saver!” Tot Time admission is $3 for children; accompanying adults play for free.

hat’s the message to Parktakes subscribers. With the winter issue, the Park Authority is launching the “green” Parktakes on-line. It takes just a click of the mouse to switch from paper copy to electronic version, and with that click, you’ll save trees and lighten the magazine’s carbon footprint. A reduction in the press run also will reduce production costs, thereby helping to hold fee increases to a minimum. Plus, e-subscribers will receive their link to the quarterly editions a day ahead of delivery for paper Parktakes, giving them extra time to peruse the offerings before choosing their classes. In the most recent Parktakes readers’ survey, over a third of subscribers said they would be willing to change from hard copy to electronic copy in order to conserve resources.To join the stewardship effort, go to www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/parktakes and J follow the prompts.

Family Recreation Area promises Fun for All

magine a family place where young and old of all abilities can come together for a day of activity and fun. Plans are underway for a family activity complex unlike anything else in the metropolitan area - a dedicated outdoor recreation area that will engage children in physical activity and spark their imaginations with creative play.This magical place will bring families together with old-fashioned and thoroughly modern play elements that are accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. The Family Recreation Area will be located in Lee District Park, just three miles from the Beltway. It will include: • An accessible tree house, literally in the trees, overlooking a forest and stream valley.The tree house will be entered from gently-sloping ramps accessible to people with limited mobility. • A playground with slides, swings and other equipment designed for use by all children, including those with disabilities • An aquatic playground where water showers from fanciful structures, providing a safe and fun activity on hot summer days • An old-fashioned, fully accessible carousel • A family picnic area, changing rooms, Visit our website at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks

restrooms and other support facilities. Public funds alone are not sufficient to bring this special place to life, so the Fairfax County Park Foundation, a nonprofit charitable organization, has begun a fundraising campaign to fill the gap. A major partner has already stepped up. The Joey Pizzano Memorial Fund, dedicated to “improving the lives of children with special needs and their families,” has committed to build the aquatic playground and donate it to the Park Authority. Our Special Harbor will be a Chesapeake Bay-themed fully accessible sprayground for children of all abilities. For more information and to support this worthy cause, visit www.JPMF.org The Foundation needs additional partners, both organizations and individuals, to join in making the Family Recreation Area a reality. As planning progresses, there will be opportunities for donors to sponsor and name elements of the facility. If you can help, please call the Fairfax County Park Foundation, 703-324-8581, or email Paul.Baldino@ J fairfaxcounty.gov.

Exercise: The Eyes Have It!

ew studies suggest that regular vigorous exercise can help prevent vision loss from cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory analyzed seven years of data on 41,000 runners ages 18 to 84. One study found that being fit and exercising vigorously reduced the risk of developing cataracts by up to 50 percent.The second study found that runners who average 1.2 to 2.4 miles a day lowered their risk for macular degeneration by 19 percent while those who ran more than 2.4 miles a day reduced their risk J by 42 percent to 54 percent.

A Stitch in Time

ow in its 36th year and a classic unto itself, the annual Sully Quilt Show and Sale features classic quilts as its theme for 2009.This decorative and functional art form has colorful threads running through American history. Back when women couldn’t own property, couldn’t vote and didn’t have much that was entirely theirs, they could voice their political opinions and their ideas in their quilts.That put many a Tory husband to sleep under a Whig rose quilt without a clue as to the message in the bed covers. The quilter’s pine tree pattern was adopted for the liberty flags flown by the six ships that comprised Gen. George Washington’s little navy. When one of the ships was captured, the English had a good laugh at the idea of using the pine tree – a land symbol – for a navy. (But everyone knows who had the last laugh there!) In 1825, the Marquis de Layfayette was in the United States for a month’s visit, the guest of honor at scores of events celebrating his contributions to a new nation’s battle for independence.The French general was peeling an orange at a banquet. He cut the rind away in quarters with the bottom of each section still attached, petal-like, to the

fruit. When he finished, an admirer asked if she could have the peel as a memento. She took it home, flattened it and copied the design for the quilt pattern known today as Lafayette’s Orange Peel. Women in the Abolitionist Movement used quilts as signposts for the network that smuggled slaves to safety in the free states. Quilts sewn of blue and white material in the distinctive pattern of Jacob’s ladder were hung to signal sanctuary. Soon, that blue and white design became known as the Underground Railroad. Quilts from the Midwestern states at the time of the great western migration were often decorated with flowers and green trees. On the barren plains, the women from the East missed the greenery and colors of home, so they put those lost treasures in their quilts. Other symbols – the pineapple for hospitality, the oak leaf for longevity, the tulip for love – add to the stories told by quilts. You can “read” tales of American history in the classic quilts on display and for sale Sunday, September 13, at Sully’s Quilt and Fiber Arts Show and Sale.The day also includes tours of Richard Bland Lee’s Federal period home, quilting demonstrations and appraisals, children’s activities, a door prize award of beautiful quilt created by the Hayfield Country Quilters and more.

Fight the Activity Slump, Add Fun to Exercise

or parents who are alarmed at today’s obesity epidemic in young people and want to give their children the protection - and fun - of an active lifestyle, the time to act is sooner rather than later. Kids’ daily physical activity drops from an average of three hours to less than one between the ages of nine and 15, according to new research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. On weekends it’s worse. Fifteen-year-olds, on average, move around only 35 minutes a day on Saturdays and Sundays, according to a study of 1,000 kids in 10 cities. The younger the kids, the higher the activity level. Nine-year-olds averaged three hours of moderate to vigorous activity daily. By age 12, that dropped to about an hour and a half on weekdays and 83 minutes on weekends. By age 15, it was down to 49 minutes during the week and 35 minutes on the weekends. Why the precipitous decline? At about age 12, the fun sports become competitive. Kids who make the teams stay active.The rest have to look elsewhere for options. Thankfully, here in Fairfax County, they don’t have to look far -- RECenters have choices aplenty to fill the activity gap. ”It’s not just about obesity. It’s about educating children in a way that fosters their enjoyment of fitness,” said Kwame Brown, Fitness Director at Lee District RECenter and Executive Director and Advisory Board Chair for the International Youth ConditionFall 2009

Quicktakes ing Association. “For kids to adopt an active lifestyle, it’s got to be games and fun, and we’re the best at fun! We teach kids how to move their bodies. We show them how to do things that make their eyes light up. We give them innovative ways to work out at home. Once kids get moving, weight loss is a side effect.” A few ideas for starters: • Zumba, the class where kids salsa, meringue and reggae on their way to fitness. • Weight Training for Teens, to empower young people to exercise on their own. • Splish Splash Fitness, with fun and games in the pool, where water’s resistance adds an extra boost to exercise. • Yoga for Young Athletes, a stretch to flexible fitness following the example of professional athletes. • Introductory classes in basketball, fencing, tumbling, field hockey, football, gymnastics, skateboarding, soccer, tennis and more in comfortable, non-competitive settings that take the stress out of and put the fun back into youth sports. • Family Fitness Zone, where video games get physical and interactive spin bikes get parents and kids moving together. • Family walks in a park, with naturalist guides pointing out the wonders of nature along the way. The family aspect is important, which is why the Park Authority is expanding its multi-generational fitness programming. “Modeling the behavior you want children to emulate is always the best way to teach,” noted Monica Phillips, manager of the Park Authority’s Fitness & Wellness Section.“If regular physical activity is to become a lifelong habit, not only does it have to start before adolescence, but it also needs to be a family affair.” J

Laurel Hill Collects More Laurels

aurel Hill Golf Club enters the “muni” hall of fame with a 2009 ranking at number 15 on Golfweek’s annual roster of the nation’s top 50 municipal courses. It’s elite company. The top three courses - Bethpage Black in New York, Chambers Bay in Washington State and Torrey Pines South in California - are U.S. Open venues. Many of the others are sites for major pro tours and events of the PGA, Senior PGA and LPGA. For Washington metro area golfers, it’s cause to cheer. Laurel Hill is right in their backyards and easily accessible -- six miles from the Capital Beltway, three miles from the Fairfax County Parkway and one mile from Interstate 95. Otherwise, the nearest course - Lederach in Harleysville, Pennsylvania, coming in at number 34 -- is a four-hour drive away, while most of the rest are far west or deep south. Laurel Hill’s designation as one of the top municipal courses in the United States validates Bill Love’s vision in designing a golf course that lies lightly on the land.The former president of the American Society of Golf Course Architects is known for his focus on environmental protection. Starting Visit our website at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks

with 250 acres that were beautifully conducive to golf, Love placed holes to provide sweeping vistas but avoid negative impacts on the site’s waterways and limit the disturbances to the land. He also gave the course great playability. Five sets of tees offer variable yardage at every hole, from over 7,000 yards at the back tees to about 5,300 yards at the front tees, enjoyably satisfying for the high handicapper and challenging for the low handicapper. But don’t wait for more accolades. Tee times are still available, so play Laurel Hill now and see for yourself why it’s rated one J of the country’s best municipal courses.

Charlie Davis As he neared retirement after 35 years as an airline pilot, Charlie Davis started thinking about what he wanted to do next. An outdoorsman who loved hunting and fishing, he’d visited Huntley Meadows Park often and appreciated the natural beauty, rich resources and sense of splendid isolation he found there, so the park was the first stop on his search. And he never looked further. He was a front desk volunteer at the visitor center for three years, getting to know the people, the park and its programs and operations. Seven years ago, he took on the weekly monitoring of bluebird houses and the following year, he joined the park’s programming corps, introducing elementary school children to the wonders of the wetlands. Drawing on his background in aviation – in addition to being a pilot, he’s an author (Across the Mekong:The True Story of an Air America Helicopter Pilot) – Charlie also developed and presented a program on the parkland’s past as a dirigible base. And he’ll soon make his television debut; he and Carolyn Gamble, the park’s assistant manager, are the authoritative sources for Virginia Time Travel’s segment on Historic Huntley, which will air on Cox Cable in September. Rewards of volunteering? It’s purely in the heart. I thoroughly enjoy just walking in the park and sharing the magic of Huntley Meadows with kids. Every time I come here, it’s exciting. The question you get most often from school children? Usually we’re out in the wetlands, so they

want to know how big the beavers are and if they’re dangerous.They get so excited when they see a tadpole; they love it out there on the boardwalk! The kids surprise me. I’m amazed at their intelligence. And in the older group – the fourth, fifth and sixth graders – I’ve definitely seen a growing awareness of nature and the outdoors. What’s best about Huntley Meadows? The people – staff and volunteers.They’re knowledgeable, laid back, the kind of people I like to be around. And they get so much done. I look forward to coming to the park, and I always feel welcome.They’re special people.They add value not only to this park but to life as a whole. It’s almost like visiting family.They make you want to come back.

High School Swim & Dive Teams Fairfax County’s high school swim and dive teams will be using RECenter pools from mid-November to mid-February. In general, the pools are used Monday-Thursday, 3pm-5:30pm, for practice and Fridays, 4:30pm-10pm, for meets. Saturday evenings are used for one meet in early December and makeup dates in January. Pools are closed to the public during practices and meets. Specific dates and times will be posted at each RECenter.

aquatics Practice Healthy Swimming Habits For public health reasons, standard diapers cannot be worn in the pool. Children who are not yet toilet trained must wear either snug fitting plastic pants or a swim diaper. A bathing suit must be worn over plastic pants or swim diapers. Waist and legs on plastic pants or swim diapers must be snug enough to contain matter that could contaminate the pool. Under new Health Department standards, adopted on the recommendation of the Centers for Disease Control, accidents involving fecal matter now require longer pool closure. Prevention is far better than clean up, so please follow the CDC’s healthy swimming habits: • Children (and adults) who have had diarrhea in the last two weeks shouldn’t go swimming. • Be sure that children use the bathroom before getting into the pool, take them on frequent bathroom breaks and check diapers often. • Shower before entering the pool and after using the toilet. • Change diapers in the bathroom (not the pool area.) • Avoid swallowing pool water or even getting it in your mouth.

Looking for Information? The detailed story on aquatics classes is just a click away at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks. Choose “Classes,” then “Aquatics,” and you’ll find: • Descriptions, locations, dates, times and more on classes • Placement guide to help you select the appropriate swim class. • Lists of the skills covered in swim classes for all ages, from six months to 99 years. • Important information for parents, including tips for helping children succeed at swim lessons. • An online evaluation form For pool sizes and other aquatic attractions at the different RECenters, see www.fairfaxcounty.gov/ parks/recenter.htm.

American Red Cross Classes for Babies and Preschoolers Parents are responsible for ensuring that their children do not create unsanitary conditions that lead to pool closure. Children who are not toilet trained MUST wear snug-fitting plastic pants underneath their bathing suits or a swim suit diaper. If parents are in doubt as to whether their children can “hold it,” they should err on the side of caution so that others may enjoy the pools.

Baby & Me Swim (6 mos-18 mos) For babies and their parents, or other favorite grownup, who want to learn water adjustment and other aquatic skills together. The class will teach water acclimation and safety in a fun environment.

Pee Wee Paddlers I (3-5 yrs) Child MUST leave parent willingly, be comfortable in the water, follow directions and function well in a group. For safety reasons, arm “floaties” are used when young swimmers are in water above shoulder depth. Due to the lack of a beach area, floaties are used for all Pee Wee I classes at Audrey Moore and Lee District RECenter. Emphasis is on water adjustment, putting face in water, floating and basic swimming skills with support. 4AW 8--30 minute lessons--$81 4AZ 4--30 minute lessons--$40 4AX 5--30 minute lessons--$50 4AD 6--30 minute lessons--$61 4AQ 7--30 minute lessons--$71

American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim Classes for Children Follow Guidelines When Registering for Learn-ToSwim Classes For safety reasons and to ensure that customers get the maximum benefits from our aquatic programs, the Park Authority reserves the right to remove students from an inappropriate class and place them, when possible, in a class that better matches their ability level. If you have questions on which class is right for you or your child, PLEASE check with the aquatic staff at any RECenter. Help us get you into the right class

Repetition Can Be the Key Each student progresses at a different speed in learning aquatic skills, dependent on a number of factors including class attendance, coordination development, water familiarity and outside practice. In addition, a child’s stage of development may influence his or her ability to learn aquatic skills. Students often repeat a level several times before mastering

the skills required for advancement. It is important to understand that repeating a level does not constitute failure. Mastering skills takes time, practice and patience.

Combining course levels When enrollment is low, course levels may be combined to avoid class cancellations. If you have any questions about your progress or your child’s, please ask the instructor.

Level I-Intro to Water Skills (6-12 yrs) Learn water adjustment and basic swimming skills with use of floatation devices and support. Emphasis on gaining skill to put face in water and hold breath or blow bubbles for at least three seconds, basic breathing techniques, front and back float, glide and swimming skills (with support) at least two body lengths and water safety skills. 4AT 8--45 minute lessons--$85 4AV 5--45 minute lessons--$54 4AC 6--45 minute lessons--$64 4AM 7--45 minute lessons--$74

Park Profile . . . Roshanak Raeisi Fard In her native Iran, Roshanak Raeisi Fard learned to swim as a preschooler and competed on swimming teams from age six to 18. While earning a degree in literature, she taught water exercise and swimming classes and also worked with individuals with disabilities. “We had a very good swim program,” she recalled. Her family immigrated to the United States a few years before her. “It was a very unhappy time for me because I was away from my family. Swimming and teaching were my enjoyment and helped me during that time,” Roshanak said. Water was also the means for her integration in her new home. She earned her Red Cross instructor certification with the help of Spring Hill RECenter’s staff. She knew swimming; they coached her in English so that she could demonstrate that knowledge. Currently, Roshanak teaches all levels of learn-toswim classes at the RECenter. First and most important skill to teach a child? To be happy in the water. Children need confidence and comfort. If they trust you, they will learn fast. How do you build that trust? By being happy myself. We sing songs, we play and we swim together. We play with balls, rings and noodles. We put our faces in the water. We do the hokey pokey and sing Wheels on the Bus, and the children come to trust me. How can parents help their children with swimming? They can go with their kids into the pool and play in the water with them. Some parents are afraid of the water. They push that fear on their kids, who can sense their nervousness. So parents need to build their confidence and comfort, too, and conquer their own fears.

Level V-Stroke Refinement (6-12 yrs) Students must be able to swim the front crawl and elementary backstroke at least 25 yards and breaststroke, butterfly, back crawl and side stroke at least 15 yards; and demonstrate diving entry from side and survival swimming techniques. Emphasis is on refining strokes for efficiency; swimming front crawl and elementary backstroke at least 50 yards and breaststroke, butterfly, back crawl and sidestroke at least 25 yards;diving and safety skills. 4AU 4AR 4AO 4AN

When swimming, always remember . . . : Water is beautiful and healthy, but it can be dangerous. Never, ever believe that you are drown-proof. Sometimes, something can happen. So never swim alone and always go to a safe place to swim. The best thing about Spring Hill RECenter: Everybody here is really kind. Our customers are so friendly, and the staff is awesome. It was a little difficult to adapt with the new situation. Here, I could teach in my own language, but not in English. Joyce Quay (Spring Hill’s aquatics supervisor) was so patient and helpful; she gave me a book, a CD and a film. All the other instructors were so nice. Everyone wants to help me with the language! My son is a lifeguard here, too. We feel very welcomed at Spring Hill.

George Preston Marshall, the founder of the Washington Redskin football team, was a pioneer in the development of charity games, with his Redskin charity games raising more than $1.5 million for children’s programs. On his death, he left the bulk of his estate for a foundation to benefit children in the greater Washington, D.C. area. Since 1972, his foundation has awarded more than $15 million in grants for the provision of direct services to children, primarily in the fields of child welfare, health, education, sports and recreation. Since 2000, the foundation has donated $5,000 annually to the Park Authority’s PACT (Parks and Community Together), which provides summer camp scholarships to children from Fairfax County’s homeless shelters. What’s the Foundation’s focus? We give grants for programs serving children. Health, education, the arts and athletics are very important to the Foundation Board. We also provide four-year partial scholarships – six a year – for academically motivated children with financial needs to attend the excellent private schools in the Washington area. How do parks fit in? The Park Authority provides a wonderful camp for children who would not have the opportunity to attend camp otherwise. The

Burke Lake Park has 100 wooded campsites available from April 17 to October 31 for tents and campers. Group camping for organized groups (scouts, churches, etc.) of 20 or more. Call 703-323-6600 for information, reservations and camp store hours. Lake Fairfax Park has 129 campsites available year round for tents and RVs. Reservations are strongly recommended. Electrical hook-ups available (20amp, 30amp and new 50amp) at the campsites. Camping for organized groups of 20 or more (scouts, churches, etc.) also permitted. For reservations, call the camp store, 703-757-9242, 8am-8pm, Memorial Day-Labor Day weekend; other times, call the main park office, 703-471-5415. Registered campers get a discount at the Water Mine Family Swimmin’ Hole, Lake Fairfax’s western theme waterpark with attractions especially aimed at young children. The Water Mine is open Memorial Day-Labor Day.

The contribution of parks to the community? Parks offer wonderful opportunities to children. They are special places, close by, that give urban and suburban kids the chance to play outdoors. Parks make nature integral to children’s lives.

Ballet classes teach children how to express themselves through dance. In the study of this classic art form, they also learn discipline, build self-confidence and improve their ability to concentrate. Park Authority classes -- at RECenters, in schools and at partner locations across the county -- make these enriching programs convenient to everyone.

Park Profile . . . Susan Blazy has been dancing since she was nine. She took her first class with Fairfax County in 1963 at Wakefield Forest Elementary School in Annandale and was soon offered a scholarship at the instructor’s studio. Next came New York City and years of studying and dancing, including a stint with the Joffrey Ballet and a career as a professional ballerina. After her retirement, Susan married, moved back to Northern Virginia and ran her own ballet school for a decade. Now she teaches for the Park Authority’s community-based classes and the U.S. Army. “For me, teaching is giving back to the community,” she explained. “Without park programs, so many children wouldn’t have the opportunity.” As for teaching children of military parents, “it’s more than ballet,” Susan added. “It’s helping kids hold their lives together while their mothers and fathers are serving in Afghanistan and Iraq.” The first step? Most children come into class not having a clue as to what ballet is. If they fall in love with the teacher – and by that I mean admire the teacher and feel that the teacher has sympathy for them -- they’ll eventually transfer that love to the art form and stick with it. You have to entertain them and inspire them. You must teach to the capabilities of the children so in addition to knowledge of ballet, you need to know teaching. And you need a very strong sense of humor! Benefits of ballet study? It’s a non-verbal form of communication so children learn how to express something about the human condition. They learn to think, focus, memorize and work hard – abilities they can apply elsewhere. And I don’t just teach steps. I teach the entire art form, which includes its history.

What have you learned from your students? Just to enjoy them. Learning to appreciate something about each student makes the whole experience richer. And the challenging children are especially interesting because they force you to problem solve. I like the process of figuring out how to get through to every child.

Why YOU should try a Group Fitness Class: • Exercise in a group setting is fun! The social interaction gives you that extra motivational push to keep you going. • If you get bored exercising alone, group synergy can help keep boredom at bay. • Registering or purchasing a pass for a class is a commitment to exercise. You write it into your calendar and plan on it. It’s an appointment with you . . . for yourself. • Sure, you know that exercise is good for your health. But you may not realize that even small amounts of exercise - like an hour or two a week in an aerobics class -- can produce health-related benefits. The descriptions below are a guide for choosing classes that suit you.* *

Historic Buildings Cider Press Building Unveiled in September of 2006, the newest barn at Frying Pan Farm Park houses a wonderful treasure: a two story Mt. Gilead cider press that was in operation on the C.P. Jones Farm in Fairfax Station from the late 1920s through the early 1950s. Interpretive exhibits illustrate how farmers worked with the cider press to convert bushels of apples into barrels of cider. Open daily 9am-5pm

Dairy Estimated to date from the 1920s, the dairy enabled the farmer to meet health department milk processing regulations that required farmers to have a building away from the barn to process milk before shipping it to market. The sink, steam cabinet, milk cooler and other equipment are from a former Fairfax County dairy farm.

Smokehouse Relocated from the Murphy Farm on Frying Pan Road, this building was used to smoke hams for sale to the community. The Murphy family also used it as a summer kitchen.

Fall 2009

Park Profile . . . Cindy Gustafson Gimbel The garden path that led Cindy Gustafson Gimbel to Green Spring started in New England where she grew up as an outdoors kid. It branched first to the Nature Conservancy where she was a fundraiser and financial analyst for 12 years, then looped through the public schools where she worked as a teaching assistant. “They were happy to hire me because I also took care of the schoolyard gardens,” Cindy noted. With a degree in environmental science from the University of Rhode Island, she also had completed the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s natural history field studies on the Mid-Atlantic region’s flora and fauna, and she was well connected to the local network of master gardeners and the garden world of kids. So when Green Spring had an opening, she heard about it. Hired as a seasonal 10 years ago, she’s now the park’s full time coordinator of the educational programs for the 6,000 children who visit Green Spring annually. Why involve children in gardening? We want to try because everything that we need to survive – food, clothing and shelter -- comes from the earth. That’s the connection. Gardening also gives children the opportunity to cultivate and nurture something. There is no instant gratification: Plants grow slowly so children develop patience through gardening. What else do kids learn? Things we don’t expect them to learn! They work together as a team to accomplish things. They enjoy the fruits of their labors together. Even the pickiest eaters are eager to try whatever happens to be growing – they’ll relish a pile of kale or onions with just a bit of bread. They gain independence. They gain confidence from the

The Oaks Course will challenge all golfers, regardless of their playing ability, with multiple tees ensuring a fair test for every level.

With the addition of multiple tees in the 2003-04 season, the Lakes Course now provides golfers of all skill levels the opportunity for exciting rounds.

Fall 2009

Park Profile . . . Gene Orrico For Gene Orrico, the introduction to golf came in his front yard, slamming fallen apples into the street with his dad’s clubs borrowed from the bag parked in the family’s garage. After Gene failed to win a spot on the baseball team his freshman year, he got a few lessons from his father and went on to be the first player at his high school to earn a varsity letter in golf four years in a row. But he abandoned the game at Old Dominion University, directing his attention to a bachelor’s degree in education and sequential career paths in the construction industry, restaurant management and sporting goods sales. In the mid-1990s, he returned to the golf course and reclaimed the form, power and low handicap of earlier years. Initially, it was for fun but soon it turned into a career quest. To master the business of golf, Gene landed a job at Reston National, worked on the design, construction and operation of the Golden Bear Golf Center in Maryland and the Mid-Atlantic Golf Center in Northern Virginia, and in 2000, earned his Class A Professional certification from the PGA. He’s been Director of Golf at Laurel Hill since the course opened four years ago, teaching individual lessons, setting up workshops, tournaments and clinics, managing the pro shop and otherwise overseeing golf operations. Favorite club in the bag? 2 17-degree hybrid club – 99.9 percent of the time, if I swing with it, I hit the ball! Easiest part of the game to master? Putting. When I’m teaching novices who’ve never played, I ask if they ever played putt-putt, and we start with that. tournament played with glow-in-the-dark golf balls, candle-lined fairways and illuminated flags.

The most common mistake by beginners? Too many people don’t understand that you need to practice in order to get better. And they don’t realize that with the golf swing, you don’t begin at the top – you begin at the bottom and move from the putt to the swing. The golfer you most admire? Besides my father, it would be Arnold Palmer. He went from small town roots to become the ambassador for golf, and he’s a smart business man. The best thing about Laurel Hill? Playability, for every single golfer out there as long as they choose the right tees. Laurel Hill has five to six sets of tees per hole; it appeals to everyone. begins two weeks prior to event.

Off-Leash Dogs Welcome in Special Dog Parks The Fairfax County Park Authority has always welcomed leashed dogs in all of its parks. Now, for owners of well-mannered canines who enjoy a good run or a friendly romp, there’s the additional option of off-leash dog parks - fenced areas where unleashed dogs can have free play. At present, there are seven established dog parks: • Blake Lane, 10033 Blake Lane, Oakton • Baron Cameron, 11300 Baron Cameron Ave., Reston • South Run, 7550 Reservation Drive, Springfield • Mason District, 6621 Columbia Pike, Annandale. • Chandon, 900 Palmer Drive, Herndon • Quinn Farm, 15150 Old Lee Rd., Centreville. • Grist Mill, 4710 Mt. Vernon Memorial Hwy, Alexandria All Park Authority dog parks are public/private partnerships, developed in cooperation with sponsoring organizations of pet owners. The sponsors are the agency’s liaison between users and local residents, Animal Control and the Police Department. They monitor and clean up the facilities, publicize dog park rules and regulations, and report maintenance needs to the Park Authority. Dog parks are open 365 days a year from sunup to sundown. Users of off-leash dog areas do so at their own risk. Neither Fairfax County nor the Fairfax County Park Authority is liable for any injury or damage caused by any dog in the off-leash area. For rules and regulations governing the off-leash dog areas, visit http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/parkrules/dogpark.htm and for additional information, call 703-324-8594.
