ith over 22,500 acres in 416 parks, the Fairfax County park system is well used and highly regarded. Parks are an essential element of life to residents of Fairfax County. About 80% of them visit the parks each year to enjoy nature, historic sites, trails, sports, fitness, aquatics, interpretive programs, classes, events and so much more. Accredited and nationally recognized for excellence by the prestigious Gold Medal for Parks and Recreation, Fairfax County’s parks are ranked among the best in the nation. As wonderful as our parks are, we must constantly strive to make sure they meet the changing needs of our diversifying and rapidly urbanizing community. As we look to the future, Fairfax County will continue to grow and change: • Growing employment centers will attract a varied workforce. • More people with diverse backgrounds will reside here. • Many parts of the county will evolve into more urban places. • Lifestyles and leisure preferences will continue to change. The Park Authority works to balance the park system in accord with the agency’s mission to help make Fairfax County a healthy and unique place. The Park Authority’s multifaceted mission is to create and sustain quality recreational facilities as well as to protect environmental and cultural resources within Fairfax County. In February 2007, the Park Authority launched a long range planning process to examine the park system and incorporate public views on how to maintain balance within the park system as communities evolve. This multi-year planning process resulted in Great Parks, Great Communities — a plan to guide future park land acquisition, facility development and resource stewardship through 2020. In 2008, the Park Authority heard from citizens at 10 public workshops in all supervisory districts and at community festivals and outreach opportunities throughout the county. In addition, the Park Authority received feedback on the park system via email and through the agency’s web site. Based on public input and staff expertise, we identified key issues that fit within eight themes relating to the land, resources and facilities of the Park Authority: connectivity, community building, service delivery, facility reinvestment, land acquisition, resource interpretation, cultural resource stewardship and natural resource stewardship. The Great Parks, Great Communities plan is organized around these themes and divided into 14 sections, one for each of the county’s planning districts. Chapters include park system maps and data and strategies specific to each district. These district plans are meant to be less detailed than park master plans, but not as general as countywide guiding documents, such as the Needs Assessment and Parks and Recreation Policy Plan. When adopted, the Great Parks, Great Communities plan will be implemented through 1) the creation a five-year agency implementation plan with priorities assigned and approved by the Park Authority Board; 2) amending the County Comprehensive Area Plan recommendations for parks and recreation; 3) updating the Needs Assessment; 4) identifying park capital funding priorities; 5) using the plan’s recommendations to evaluate County Comprehensive Plan amendments and rezoning proposals; and 6) developing site specific park master plans using data and recommendations from the plan. We welcome your feedback on the draft plan—in person, via the website, through letters and emails. Please visit the Great Parks, Great Communities project web page at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/plandev/greatparks.htm to learn more. You can send your comments directly to parkmail@fairfaxcounty.gov or call the park planning office at 703324-8741. Please spread the word to other park users that we need their input, Encourage them to share their opinions. Working together, we can help ensure that parks continue to play an important part in sustaining the high quality of life in Fairfax County.

QUICKTAKES Totem Celebrates Riverbend’s Indian Connection

he traditions and culture of Virginia’s original settlers are deeply rooted in Rose Powhatan. A Pamunkey/Tauxenent Indian woman who is active in the Virginia Indian community as an elder and a “wisdom keeper,” she carved the totem pole that stands sentinel in Riverbend Park’s new exhibit. She’s one of the only Native American artists creating Eastern style totems, and she mastered the craft though an unusual combination of practical research and the inspiration of dreams. A retired teacher who worked in D.C.’s public schools for 31 years, she spent decades studying the cultural continuum of the Tauxenents and other Eastern tribes. With a Cafritz Foundation grant and a Fulbright Scholarship, she took her work across the Atlantic.“The Virginia Indians were the front line against the invasion, and most of what they had was destroyed or taken. So to see artifacts, like Powhatan’s mantle, I had to go to England.” In libraries and museums, she studied paintings by artists who accompanied the British explorers and read descriptions of tribal life and contemporary accounts of encounters between the invaders and the Native Americans. She also learned from her grandfather and other elders in her large extended family. “Powhatan means one who dreams, and I’m a dreamer,” Rose continued. “There are things I just know. I am

shown things. I learn things from my dreams. I get pointed in the right direction.” The study of her heritage became her life’s work. It was part-time avocation while she was a classroom teacher and full-time vocation since her retirement. Rose has channeled her knowledge into multiple outlets. She’s been an actress in period films that depict Native Americans, most notably the HBO mini-series on John Adams, in which she played the mother of Crispus Attucks, the first person killed by British troops in the Boston Massacre of 1770. She’s a designer, her fashions strongly influenced by Indian artistry. She’s a muralist, and her paintings of scenes from tribal life can be found in schools, churches and private homes. Rose is also a writer, and she’s the keeper of the Powhatan Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, online at www. powhatanmuseum.com.“At its core, the mission of my life is to preserve, promote, respect and share my culture,” she explained. She comes naturally to an artistic bent. Paintings by her mother, Georgia Mills Jessup, are in the permanent contemporary art collection at the National Museum of Women in the Arts. Her mother was one of 18 children, and the large extended family includes 29 relatives in all facets of the arts, from filmmakers to musicians to art therapists. Totem poles held a special fascination for Rose. “They were not objects of devotion.They weren’t worshipped by Indians.They were memorials, commemorating legends, events or tribal lineage.” But these monuments that once marked the gathering place for tribal ceremonies were no longer being created, at least not in the hallmark design and style of the Eastern woodland tribes. So Rose and her husband Michael Auld, who is of Caribbean Taino Indian descent, filled the artistic gap, collaborating on totems authentic to the period for the Jamestown Settlement and the award-winning installation at the Vienna Metro site, not far from where Rose spent childhood summers with relatives. Her distant cousin, Shirley Little Dove of the Mattaponi tribe, had been a participant in Riverbend’s Indian Festival since the event began, and she told Rose of the park and its programs. A totem was the perfect centerpiece for the visitor center’s new exhibit.The site’s 13,000 year history of habitation by Native Americans probably included Rose’s paternal ancestors, and the staff was committed to sharing the story of the true first families of Virginia. Since discovering Riverbend, Rose is a frequent visitor to the park, driving from her D.C. home to steal quiet time on the banks of the Cohonkaroutan, as the

Q U I C K TA K E S Tauxenents called the Potomac River. “The peace and tranquility of nature is soothing. If you want to restore your soul, you go to the parks. It’s therapy.” It’s also the natural place to ponder what today’s residents of Fairfax County can learn from the Tauxenents and other native Virginians. Rose synthesizes the lesson:“Don’t be in such a hurry to change things. We need to look at the consequences down the road. We can over-build to the point where everyone is miserable.” There’s another message that she hopes everyone gets from visiting Riverbend Park and the new exhibit at the visitor center. She frets over the misconception that native Virginians have disappeared,“that we are

gone, extinct and don’t exist anymore. . . We were the last outpost of the great Powhatan Confederation.“ Rose concluded.“And we’re still here.“ Meet representatives of the Mattaponi, Pamunkey and Tauxenent tribes at Riverbend’s Indian Festival, Saturday, September 11.

New Exhibit Celebrates the River

t Riverbend Park, the Potomac River is the ruling force.The rare and rugged landscape was created by the power of its moving water, and its gleaming expanse dominates the vista. Inside the visitor center, a new museum-quality exhibit now tells the story of the river’s impact on the land, the wildlife and the native Americans who used the Potomac as a highway and hunting ground. “The county archaeologist says there are more Native American sites at Riverbend than anywhere else in Fairfax County.The river played a vital role in their lives,” reported Park Manager Marty Smith. So appropriately, Indians and their culture have a starring role in the exhibit.There’s a dug-out canoe, the core of the tulip poplar tree hollowed by slow fires. An authentic totem pole tells of the Virginia Indians’ annual Thanksgiving presentation of a turkey to the governor of the Commonwealth. It’s a new story, relatively speaking, but told in the old way with stick figures that date back to the Late Woodland Period in the early 1600s. Carved by Rose Powhatan of the Tauxenent tribe, the totem is a respected and honored thing, created only after fasting and prayer. “It’s a rare privilege to have this donated to the park,” Smith said, pointing out the traditional red face at the top and the base sitting firmly on earth. The Tauxenent warrior, dressed for winter in deer skin shirt and pants, wears a bear claw necklace and a bear’s canine tooth as an earring and carries an authentic Sudbury bow. It’s an exact replica of a bow from a Waupanoag Indian shot by a settler in Sudbury, Massachusetts, in 1660. (The bow was passed down as a family heirloom and is now in the Peabody Museum.) The warrior is modeled on accounts from Captain John Smith’s journals; local descendents of the Tauxenents and experts from the Smithsonian also advised on the authenticity of his appearance. Original drawings, the work of Riverbend Park’s manager, show Native Americans going about life.“We didn’t want to use classic English drawings because some experts say they’re too Anglicized,

so we talked to Indians and archaeologists to get an accurate portrayal,” the artist explained. Pottery, ceramics, clay pipes and other artifacts add details to the picture of how Indians lived. Geology is one of the elements that defines the Potomac River Gorge, and here the exhibit aims for attention with engaging text and displays that invite hands-on exploration. Spectacular photographs add color and detail, and a favorite with visitors young and old is the collection of taxidermy critters – bobcat, owls, raptors, turkey and a black bear – that live in or pass through the park. River fish swim in an aquarium, while lizards, snakes, toads and frogs bask in terrariums next door. The Potomac is the thread weaving it all together, and the exhibit’s open design takes advantage of the big windows that give a panoramic view of the river to create an open, spacious feeling. “More and more these days, people are looking to connect with nature,” Smith said, noting that Riverbend’s visitation doubled from about 200,000 annually to over 400,000 in the past decade, and 70 percent is families. “So we’ve put a new face on the park to welcome them.”The visitor center’s big deck overlooking the Potomac is dotted with comfortable Adirondack chairs that encourage river watching, and the floodplain picnic area has been enlarged and improved. Programs have been expanded with the likes of camp fires, campouts, paint-outs, festivals and fishing lessons. Row boat rentals have resumed, with kayaks and fishing gear added. “And with everything, the focus is on the river,” Smith concluded.“It’s what makes Riverbend special.”

Q U I C K TA K E S of golf, he goes dancing twice a week and plays bridge twice a week.“We split the difference and work it lovingly,” he added.“Those are the best parts of my life! And I’m still able to beat some of the guys some of the time. What more could I want?” To try Nick Perinni’s recipe for a long, happy and healthy life, you don’t have to look further than the parks. Parks have all of his ingredients – golf, dancing and bridge. See the corresponding sections in Parktakes for detail; you’ll find bridge in Xtras.

Seniors Go for the Gold Golf is Part of Nonagenarian’s Secret

t age 93, Nick Perinni is a testament to the benefits of an active lifestyle. He could easily pass for decades younger. He has good health, a jaunty spring in his step and flexibility that would be the envy of folks 30 years his junior. His secret? “You’ve got to have the right wife – one who says,‘Why don’t you go play golf?’” Nick confided, with a wink and his characteristic grin. A regular at Twin Lakes Golf Course for almost 30 years, he’s an inspiration to staff and fellow golfers, says manager Barbara Cosgrove.“We all want to be like Nick when we grow up! Still loving golf, still good at it, still sharing tips for better play. He’s got THE best short game.” A lifetime sports enthusiast who grew up on a baseball diamond, Nick came to Northern Virginia in the early 1950s after service in the U.S. Navy. A friend told him there was a job opening at the Central Intelligence Agency, and a couple of weeks after starting his CIA career, he took up golf. He made the rounds of Hains Point, Fairfax Country Club, Cedar Crest and International before teeing off at the Park Authority’s Twin Lakes, then newly opened.“And I’ve been here ever since. I like the two courses, and I like the people,” he noted, adding that he enjoyed the association enough to be a Twin Lakes

volunteer for over a quarter century. At the peak of his playing, Nick boasted a handicap of five. Now, he says, it’s about 20. “But I’m working on improving.” Still, he’s never had a lesson – he just practices, reads golfing magazines, watches the pros and takes advice from friends. The Oaks course is his favorite, and he ticks off its four big challenges – the first, second, 13th and 14th holes.“Those are the four that bug me.” He estimates he’s played the Oaks around 2,500 times.“And I’m not tired of it. I’m back here and ready to play every week.” For Nick, golf’s big attractions are the competition and being out in the open air. And assessing Twin Lakes golf in particular, he counts the quality of the companionship as a major reason for his years of continued play. As if to prove the point, everyone coming through the clubhouse on this sunny, golf-perfect morning hails him and greets Nick by name.“I enjoy knowing I have lots of friends,” he joked. Nick acknowledged that his wife May’s encouragement of time on the green isn’t without conditions. When they were just teenagers on the dance floor, they turned into sweethearts, and they’ve been dancing together ever since.

Kids Find that Parks are in Their Nature

ature deficit disorder will never be an issue for the youngsters from Frog Pond Early Learning Center.The center’s big backyard boasts vegetable, herb and butterfly gardens, a goat pasture, a chicken pen, a wildflower meadow,Toad Mountain and, of course, a frog pond. And if that isn’t enough to ensure familiarity and comfort in the natural world, the kids troop around the corner and through the woods twice a week, every week, to Huntley Meadows Park next door. Here, the journey is the destination.“And every day, it’s something new,” noted Sarah Glassco, science curriculum director and walk leader who’s Science Sarah to her charges. With several seasons of park visits behind them, these are nature-savvy four- and fiveyear-olds.They know that the prickly orbs littering the trail are gumballs fallen from the trees with the pointy star-shaped leaves, and they scan the woods until an excited voice exclaims,“There’s one! That’s the tree!”They know that the big lumpy bumps on trunks are burls, grown like scabs to protect against insects or fungus.They check tree cavities for toads.“Don’t pick it up!” cautions Jackson.“We have to ask the toad’s mom first.” Like Secret Service agents, they look everywhere, their eyes scanning ceaselessly for the new and unusual.

“Snail shell! We found a snail shell,” announces Nya. “I am not afraid of bugs,” Grace affirms as she monitors the slow progress of a crawling millipede. “I’ve got rocks,” Naina declares, opening her hand to show off tiny quartz pebbles. One child is leaping on and off a stubby stump, another is investigating the “awesome weapons” in a pile of sticks and a third is bouncing on the branch of a downed tree. Everyone is immersed in some aspect of nature. They gather around a deposit of scat and watch intently as Science Sarah pokes the pile with a stick to determine the critter’s prior meal.

seeds and agree that the scat producer was an omnivore, likely a raccoon. “Everybody, quiet!” cautions a chatterbox who’s suddenly more interested in natural noise as the group nears the wetlands boardwalk.“Listen to the croaks!” The pace slows as the children’s attention is absorbed by the wonders of the marsh.“What’s that and that and that?” they ask.They spot dragonflies, painted turtles, snapping turtles, tadpoles, leeches, minnows and red-winged blackbirds. Here a frog, there a frog, everywhere a frog, frog -the morning echoes with a cacophony of calls, and the kids vie to be first to spot the sources. Delighted laughter and squeals of joy signal new finds of noisy amphibians. “The frogs must be having a meeting,” suggests Jackson.“And they’re all talking at once!” Then the voices hush to whispers as a mother mallard and five ducklings paddle by.“Where did all the geese go?” asks a would-be bird watcher, remembering the waterfowl from winter walks. It’s the perfect opening, and Science Sarah obliges with a short explanation of wildlife migrations. From the observation tower (the castle, as the Frog Pond kids know it), the boys and girls search intently for a sighting, and spy a great blue heron standing sentinel in the shallows. “Good spotting,” applauds Science Sarah. “Now, are you ready to start back?” “NO!” comes a loud chorus in reply. But the kids set out for the early learning center anyway, only at a much slower pace than the trip out, and they never stop watching for nature’s surprises. The walk stimulates the senses and presents opportunities to encourage and direct natural curiosity.“They’re fascinated by the tall trees; they’re fascinated by the sounds,” Science Sarah noted.“We are committed to teaching children to love the earth and its creatures, to understand their connection to the web of life and their responsibility for helping to take care of the earth. We believe that children learn best by experiencing and exploring, following their own 7

Look to the Stars at Observatory Park The heavens will move closer to Fairfax County this fall with the completion of repairs and renovation of the 50-year-old observatory at Turner Farm’s Astronomy Park. The Park Authority acquired the 11-acre site in western Fairfax in the 1990s when, at the request of citizens, the Board of Supervisors petitioned the federal government for the title of the property that once belonged to the U.S. Army Defense Mapping Agency. One of the highest points in Fairfax County and boasting the darkest sky within a 30-mile radius of Washington, D.C., it was envisioned as an astronomy park where children and adults could explore the cosmos. With support from the Analemma Society of Great Falls, night-sky programs began in 2003.The non-profit organization was founded solely for the purpose of developing Observatory Park, and led by President Charles Olin, members have been bringing their own telescopes to share with visitors congregating on the hilltop to see galaxies 56 million light years away. On a pleasant summer evening, 20 to 30 visitors often gather with the Society members to gaze at the stars. 8

Now, construction is underway on a $120,000 project to restore the old building, replace its galvanized steel dome, install sophisticated software and integrate everything with a new 12-inch refractor telescope, also to be donated by the Society. “The software will be programmed to track celestial phenomena, the dome will rotate, the telescope will focus and the shutter will snap infrared photos at pre-set times,” explained Kirk Holley, manager of Planning and Development’s Special Projects branch. “Everything will work together to follow the movement of objects across the night sky.” Phase II of the project is even more star studded. It will add Internet connections that will let anyone with access see what the telescope sees and observe whatever is going on inside the observatory.The partnership venture with the Analemma Society also includes Thomas Jefferson and Herndon high schools, both on which have observatories and astronomy programs. Start and finish depends on fund raising; the Analemma Society must reach its goal of another $120,000 before phase II can begin. …………………………………………..

Ossian Hall is Ready for Fanfare Audiences will have extra to cheer about when the music starts for the 2011 summer concert season at Ossian Hall Park. Not only will next year’s series offer the traditional panoply of great international performers, but the setting will match the on-stage attractions for quality, thanks to a $2.8 million bond project that achieves two ends at once. In 2008, Ossian Hall Park in Annandale was threatening to turn into a center of gang activity with teenagers and young adults congregating there, venturing into trouble and deterring others from using the park.The decline had to stop.

opposed to hiding places for gangs. At the same time, the Park Authority was orchestrating an outreach effort to connect with the county’s growing minority populations, and many of those newcomers hail from countries and cultures lacking a tradition of parks. The two goals had complimentary ends. What better way to say welcome, introduce parks and issue an invitation to visit than with international music? What better way to reclaim the park for family audiences than with music that appeals to young and old? A $500,000 makeover eliminated the eyesores and created an inviting setting for spending leisure time. New signage was installed, park entrances were beautified, trees were strategically removed to enhance safety and visibility while maintaining esthetics and environmental benefits, trails were lengthened and improved and the site was brought up to ADA standards for accessibility. Music lovers in the diverse Annandale community flocked to expanded concerts and heritage day festivals last summer as plans geared up for phase II of the Ossian Hall transformation that is now underway. “It will be the focal point for the neighborhood,” predicted branch manager Deb Garris.The park entrance is soon-tobe-grand, with retaining walls of natural stone and a trellis adaptable for displaying concert banners to promote coming attractions. Low energy LED (light emitting diode) lighting is being installed in the expanded 120-space parking lot, which sits overtop of a new underground storm water management system. A community plaza with beautiful mosaic designs in paving stone, two basketball courts, a multi-use athletic field, two playgrounds and an open area for picnicking and play are being added.The multi-use field is synthetic turf, happily affordable when construction bids came in lower than expected. Funded through the 2008 park bond, the $2.8 million improvement project at Ossian Hall Park is expected to be completed by late fall of this year.

Construction is underway on the accessible tree house that is the Foundation’s $200,000 contribution. Overlooking a forest and stream valley, the tree house will be entered from gently sloping ramps, traversable by children and adults in wheelchairs or with mobility limitations. The spray park, dubbed Our Special Harbor, is the dream of Bob and Paola Pizanno and a memorial to their sixyear-old son, Joey, who died in a drowning accident. JPMF is underwriting the construction of this spray park where children of all abilities can embark on water adventures in a safe zero-depth environment. Spray features include a water maze, crab boat, rainbows, osprey nests, water benches that create the feel of sitting under a waterfall, a light house, shootable water cannons and a skipjack with tumbling buckets. The Park Authority is adding $1.8 million in infrastructure improvements, including restrooms, changing rooms, an expanded parking lot, a storm water management system and a hardscape plaza. Completion of this stage of the Family Recreation Area is anticipated by spring 2011. Coming in the next phase as soon as funding is identified will be an accessible playground with slides, swings and other specially-designed play equipment that’s welcoming to all children, including those with disabilities.The highlight is an oldfashioned and fully-accessible carousel that transforms going round in circles into the greatest fun. Enhancing the make-aday-of-it welcome will be a family picnic area with covered shelters.

interests. Investigating a dead log, feeling the wood crumble into soil, smelling the damp, earthy smell and discovering the amazing menagerie of ‘decomposers’ that live there (centipedes, slugs, grubs, ants, spiders, shiny black beetles and once, a shrew!) makes the abstract concept of ‘life in a dead tree’ real. We’re not merely learning science. We are doing science, with all our senses, with our minds, our imaginations and our hearts. It’s lots of fun.” “We believe that if children learn to care for nature, if they care for our Earth and nurture animals first, they’ll transition to nurturing and caring for each other,” explained Steve Rubin, director of curriculum. Certainly, the weekly highlight of a walk in Huntley Meadows has imbued the Frog Pond kids with affection for parks.“I come here a hundred times,” said Everett.“Every weekend, I come here.” Why? “Everything’s cool!” the five-year-old concluded.

You can help to make this magical family playground happen by supporting the fund raising efforts of the Fairfax County Park Foundation and the Joey Pizanno Memorial Fund.To learn more, visit www.fxparks.org and www.jpmf.org.

Fall 2010

Natural fun in the natural world can result in increased attention span, reduced stress, more creativity, improved cognitive development and a great sense of wonder and connection to the earth.The Park Authority’s nature centers have the big backyards that give every child the opportunity to play, learn and develop naturally. Check the listings in Nature and Science for choices to suit kids, grown-ups and families. And to see the magic firsthand when kids connect with nature, mark your calendar for “Get Your Child Outside Day” on October 23, sponsored by Huntley Meadows and Frog Pond Early Learning Center. In addition to a “walk-a-thon” in the park, there will be a pumpkin patch, face painting, cider, moon bounce and more fall fun just around the corner at Frog Pond. For more information, call the learning center, 703-765-7662.

Park Concerts Take National Award

xplore the World in Your Community, the Park Authority’s concert series at Ossian Hall Park, is the recipient of this year’s Arts and Culture Award from the National Association of Counties. This annual award, sponsored jointly by NACo and Americans for the Arts, honors an arts and cultural program that addresses quality of life and societal problems. For the Ossian Hall series, the Park Authority drew on partnerships and diverse community resources to organize, fund and present summer festivals of music, dance, traditional crafts and ethnic foods.This use of arts and culture solved two problems. The concerts reclaimed a potential gang hotspot as a neighborhood gathering place and center for recreation and entertainment, and the community involvement in planning and implementation helped build a sense of community “ownership.”The series also introduced parks to newcomers who often hail from countries without a park tradition. The printing and making of Parktakes is paid for with user fees. Parktakes is printed with soy-based ink on paper that is recyclable in Fairfax County’s newspaper recycling program. Inclusion of paid advertising in Parktakes does not imply endorsement of the advertised goods, products or services by the Fairfax County Park Authority.

Beverly Dobrenz Beverly Dobrenz was born a water baby. Dog paddling the width of the neighborhood pool before her third birthday, Beverly now swims year round for Machine Aquatics and summers for the Vale Lake Dolphins, where she’s also the winter swim coach, running practices for 40-some kids. Her stroke is freestyle, and she’ll be captain of the swim team at James Madison High School in 2011, her senior year. Dubbed “the energizer bunny” by her coaches, she’s qualified for the state high school championship meet for the past three years. Beverly excels in the classroom as well as the pool, as evidenced by a 4.26 grade point average and membership in the National Honor Society. An Adapted Aquatics volunteer for three years, she helps with back-to-back classes on Saturday mornings at Oak Marr RECenter. Last year, Beverly used the annual Adapted Aquatics picnic and family fun day as her project for the Gold Award, Girl Scouting’s highest honor. She enlisted 17 friends to assist with the nature walk, face painting, crafts, bean bag toss, parachute games and other fun activities that she’d organized. The kids loved it, and in an added bonus, many of her helpers signed on as Adapted Aquatics volunteers by day’s end. What brought you to Adapted Aquatics? My older sister. She did it before me; she’d come home with such wonderful stories. And a friend from school signed up with me, so that made it even better.

What you’ve learned? People with disabilities are not disabled – they just differently abled. The challenge in being a good aide? To make it such fun for the kids that they want to come back. I do that with games. For her Gold Award, my sister wrote a book of games for Adapted Aquatics, so it’s easy to find good ideas. Also, I tweak the practice dills for the swim team that I coach and use them in Adapted Aquatics. Personal motto? Live life to the fullest. Your reward as a volunteer? The good feeling I get when the children succeed. One of my students from Adapted Aquatics is now enrolled in a Level II learn-to-swim class!

Fall 2010

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 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.

Learn to Swim Classes Follow Guidelines When Registering 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, 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.

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 (regular diapers are NOT allowed in the swimming pools). 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 and 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 in a fun environment. Learn how to enter and exit the water in a safe manner, feel comfortable in the water, explore submerging to the mouth, nose, eyes and completely.

Linda Christopher Linda Christopher grew up in Michigan with a backyard pool and a mom battling severe arthritis so she gained an early appreciation of the benefits of water exercise. Naturally inclined toward care giving, she graduated from the University of Michigan’s school of nursing and worked in cardiac intensive care, where she discovered an interest and an aptitude for guiding patients through rehabilitation. In Texas where her husband was stationed with the Air Force, she gained certifications in water aerobics after the instructors for her water aerobics class kept leaving in mid-session. It was the right fit, giving her the opportunity to draw on her teaching experience as a nurse preceptor, her dedication to helping people improve their health and her knowledge of therapeutic exercise. When the family was transferred to Northern Virginia four years ago, Linda began teaching shallow water exercise classes at South Run RECenter. Two years ago, she added Arthritis Water Exercise and Aqua Fit and Trim classes at Oak Marr. What’s different about your classes? I encourage the social aspect. It’s fine for my students to talk, as long as they’re paying attention to what we’re doing. There’s not a lot of go, go, go and run, run, dash. We’re very deliberate and focused. They tell me I’m like a conductor – I watch their breathing, their facial expressions, their comfort level. I use everything I’ve ever learned when I’m teaching. Your approach? I teach in steps and I triage, focusing on one thing at a time. We start slow and we build. Your personal fitness regimen? I run in deep water CubRunREC GWREC LeeREC LeeREC LeeREC MtVernREC MtVernREC MtVernREC MtVernREC

Sandra Beyer was a health care lobbyist with a passion for information technology. As a volunteer in computer labs with inner city kids, she discovered a talent and a love for working with children. Then a masters degree in business administration with concentration in IT from Johns Hopkins University gave her the inspiration and skill to start a business doing what she most enjoyed. She began computer classes and camps in Washington, D.C. five years ago, expanded into Maryland and Virginia and now concentrates primarily on Fairfax County. Summer camps cover digital media and game design. Digital Kidz classes are offered at all RECenters; programs include Digital Art and Animation, Science and Weebotics, Technology for Tykes, and Weebotics and Intro to Robots (4-6 years) plus a slate of digital animation, art, game design, photo editing, robotics and 3D design classes (7-12 years).

Your program? We combine fun with learning technology skills. Some kids come to class already adept at computers; others have never touched a mouse or a keyboard. We help them all to see the computer as a tool they can take charge of as opposed to just a toy for playing games. The start? We begin with building Weebots, using the familiar Lego bricks that kids are comfortable with. They add gears, pulleys, belts and axles, and they grab, drag and drop to design and download a program that guides and controls their creations. Trouble shooting is an important part of the learning because often the program doesn’t work as they intended. They need to take a step back and think through the steps in their programming logically and critically to solve the problem What’s next? After Weebots, they move up to more complex programming and design, Mindstorm robotics and videogame design. One of my favorite classes is Project CEO. Students take on the role of CEO of their own business. They learn Word, Excel, PowerPoint, FrontPage and Publisher, then use these skills to design documents, flyers, business cards and their own website. It is empowering for kids to envision the independence of their

Location own business and then learn the skills to make that dream happen. Project CEO is also where I recruited Alex Pfadenhauer, my 14-year-old assistant who assists with classes and does repairs on our computers. The class showed him a path to follow to turn a passion into a career. There is nothing better than finding what you love and being able to make a living doing it. Your reward? I take pleasure in helping all students learn technology and have a great time doing it, but one of the most rewarding aspects of this work is seeing children with special needs excel. Computer learning is self-paced and self-directed so kids of all levels learn well in this environment. I had a student with autism in our digital animation camp. Because of her autism, she did not make eye contact, she often paced and she spoke in a monotone. School was difficult for her, but she loved cartoons and her mom thought she might enjoy a class where she learned how to do animation. The child was gifted at it. She learned the ins and outs of all the software and demonstrated a talent for drawing. What was really cool was that unlike school where she was often teased, the child was the most popular kid in computer class. Everyone wanted her to teach them the cool things she was doing in her animations. It literally brought tears to her mother’s eyes to see her daughter so happy. Wkfld/Moore Su LeeREC Sa LeeREC W

EXERCISE AND PHYSICAL FITNESS reduce stress with this cardiovascular workout. Mat required.

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.

Learn the proper techniques, safety and stretches to give you a great workout using free weights. This five-week class will focus more on the upper body. Location

Specialty exercise classes like Golf Fit target routines to the muscles and motions of the sport so the player can focus on maximum performance. This class is designed to improve muscular endurance, strength, definition and tone. A fast-paced high energy workout using a barbell system burns fat while increasing metabolic rate. 12--55 minute lessons--$146 10--55 minute lessons--$122

Favorite exercise trend? Back to the basics and away from the “toys” that have been popular the last few years. People are taking their workouts outside and using the resources around them. It makes exercise more convenient, and that’s great because when it’s convenient, you’re more likely to stick with your commitment. No day is complete without . . . : Sleep. Getting a good night’s sleep is so important. It’s critical for good health and top results from your workouts. The best thing about Audrey Moore RECenter? The people, our patrons. They’re friendly and welcoming and open and so positive

3650 Sully Way Chantilly, VA 20151 www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/sully/ 703-437-1794 In 1959, Sully was acquired by the Park Authority through an act of Congress, saving the site from destruction during the building of Dulles Airport. From Native American hunting grounds to parkland, Sully reflects the history of Fairfax County. The 1794 home of Richard Bland Lee combines aspects of Georgian and Federal architecture, and is complemented by original outbuildings, representative slave quarter and gardens. Richard Bland Lee was northern Virginia’s first Representative to Congress and an uncle of General Robert E. Lee. Sully is accredited by the American Association of Museums and included on the National Register for Historic Places, the National Park Service’s Underground Railroad Network to Freedom and the Virginia Civil War Trails. Guided tours highlight the early 19th century life of the Richard Bland Lee family, tenant farmers and enslaved African Americans. Programs reflect Fairfax County’s history through the 20th century.

Dominion Virginia Power Robert M. Blue, Senior Vice President for public policy and environment One of the nation’s largest producers and transporters of energy, Dominion Virginia Power provides electricity and natural gas to the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions of the U.S. From headquarters in Richmond, it serves customers in 12 states with more than 27,500 megawatts of generation, 12,000 miles of natural pipeline and 6,000 miles of electric transmission lines. Recognizing that healthy, vibrant communities are essential to long-term business success, Dominion views philanthropy as an integral aspect of good corporate citizenship and provides support through the Dominion Foundation. In 2009, the Foundation donated about $17 million to environmental organizations, educational institutions, cultural and community development groups, and health and human services providers in 15 states and the District of Columbia. That included funding for the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation’s new website showcasing state parks with video tours, podcasts, maps and more. A partner for parks for more than two decades, Dominion donates $8,000 annually to support the Park Authority’s free summer concerts. Focus of Dominion’s corporate giving? Grants by our Foundation go to preserve valuable land and wildlife habitats. We support public parks that enhance the quality of community life; educational instruction in math, science and technology; multicultural diversity programs and cultural outreach in the performing arts. The Foundation also gives to food banks, homeless shelters and feeding programs. In addition, Dominion’s matching funds program encourages our employees to support eligible nonprofit organizations where they live and work. In 2009, the company provided more than $1.6 million in matching funds to almost 1,500 nonprofit and educational institutions in 47 states.

4 Saturday Dino Extravaganza Puppet Show Code: 308 487 3401 2-3pm $5 (3 yrs. and up with adult) Enjoy puppet shows and activities featuring the biggest animals that ever walked the earth! Walk with a naturalist to find hidden clues along the trail from the Jurassic era.

Visit a Monarch Waystation garden and learn how you can help increase monarch populations. We also promote volunteerism by our employees. For example, we participated in a regional cooperative effort to assemble rain barrels to be sold at a discount to the community. The goal for Dominion’s 50 volunteers was to clean and assemble 300 barrels in a day; they reached that goal and then cleaned 300 more! Why parks? Parks are an important part of a vibrant community. Parks provide open space and places for people to gather for concerts, outdoor movies, hiking and biking When we lived in a townhouse in Old Town, Alexandria, parks were my family’s front yard and backyard. Parks are places where people can get together . . . or go off on their own. Dominion’s return on its generosity? Philanthropy helps us to build long-term relationships and valuable linkages with our stakeholders. It helps advance Dominion’s mission of improving the social, physical and economic well-being of the communities we serve. We believe that giving to the community is good business. It is also the right thing to do.

Canine Cruises

PET PLACE/SCOUTS Off-Leash Dogs Are 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 offleash 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.

Fall 2010

Emma Schusterman As a sports-oriented child, Emma Schusterman dreamt of becoming a gymnast. But after six months of training, the experts at her sports school instead directed her efforts to tennis, which was just beginning to gain broad popularity in her native Russia. Competing in tournaments throughout Central Asia, she mastered the sport, and at 17, she was invited to be an associate coach for younger players. Later, with a degree in computer science, she taught at a small college in St. Petersburg, and that teaching experience helped improve her coaching. After coming to the U.S. 20 years ago, the software engineer “survived without tennis” for 18 months before signing on as an instructor at a Bethesda club. Emma completed the Professional Tennis Registry, which helped her transition from Russian to American methodology and introduced her to techniques, approaches and psychology for teaching young children. In 1995, she moved to Northern Virginia and two years later became an instructor for the Park Authority. She teaches community-based classes, beginner to advanced, for kids and adults. Benefits of tennis? Tennis improves coordination and concentration, and playing tennis or any other sport makes people more successful in everyday life. It’s good exercise in good company with good friends. Like golf, tennis is a game you can play for a lifetime. And for young people, it offers more scholarship opportunities than a lot of other sports. It also reinforces good manners. Etiquette is important in tennis; before you leave the court, for instance, you always thank your opponent for the game. Right time to start? Any time can be the right time, if the aim is recreational tennis. But if you want to

For all tennis classes, students must supply their own racquets and two cans of tennis balls.

be a professional, you should begin playing by age five or six. Hardest thing for kids to learn? Small children have difficulty with the pivot. If they practice in front of a mirror, pivoting their bodies to the left and right side, from forehand to backhand, they catch on quicker. The serve is also a challenge for everyone, so we practice tossing the ball and do other exercises that bring success. How can parents help? It’s a dramatic help if they know tennis and play with their children. And they need to be very positive about their child’s ability Goal for your classes? I want my students to continue playing after the course is over. I want them to fall in love with the sport. Best thing about teaching for the Park Authority? The staff is so nice to work with. They do an excellent job of providing service to the instructors.
