fter serving on the Park Authority Board for almost half a decade, I thought I understood what parks add to the quality of life in Fairfax County. But reflecting back on the past year, which was my first as chairman, I realize that -- like most of us – I neither saw nor appreciated all of the many contributions that parks make. With ongoing financial challenges threatening to bring the four-year total for park budget cuts to 31 percent, the Board has searched diligently for reductions in expenditures that don’t diminish the benefits. It was an eye opener as we looked hard at what our park system does. In 2009, we welcomed 18.5 million visitors to 417 parks. We groomed fields for 225,000 competitors, improved our 300-mile trail system and worked to control non-native invasive plants, promote native species and preserve woodlands and green open spaces.Tens of thousands of people took advantage of the life-enriching, productive and healthy recreational choices we offered as our class registrations topped 135,700 at RECenters, schools and business partner sites. Over 600,000 adults and children grew in stewardship as they gained appreciation for the natural world at our nature centers and insight into the past at our historic sites. For people with disabilities, parks provided access to swimming, ice skating, gymnastics, summer camps and much more, and scholarships awarded to the disadvantaged grew to 3,772, a 49 percent increase from just two years ago. And, of course, there’s the land – 22,600 acres of green space that preserve wild resources, help protect water and air quality, and give Fairfax County residents an escape from the stress of modern life through connection with nature. The evidence shows that these park benefits are recognized and valued. Seventy nine percent of Fairfax County households are park users, and in a 2007 survey, eight of 10 households rated a good park system extremely or very important to their quality of life. Equally telling, 68 percent of the county’s voters endorsed the 2008 park bond for $65 million, despite the specter of trying times ahead. That reinforces the results of a survey commissioned by the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority. It found that nearly half (47 percent) of suburban workers wanted more from their work communities and would change jobs to be in a location that offered the amenities they valued. At the top of that list, they ranked parks and open spaces. It isn’t just individual workers who want proximity to parks. National studies confirm that quality of life is a key factor in business relocation decisions, with parks and recreational opportunities an important component of the quality assessment. In fact, when the Economic Development Authority touts Fairfax County as a premier business location based on the “Fairfax Advantage,” it features parkland and recreational opportunities to illustrate the county’s outstanding quality of life. Not only do good parks attract new residents and new businesses, they boost the worth of what’s here.The real estate market consistently demonstrates that home buyers are willing to pay more for property located close to parks and open space. The facts and figures demonstrate that parks are an essential cog in the economic engine that powers Fairfax County. And for all of these plusses, parks take less than one cent of every tax dollar. With cuts poised to bring that down to a fraction, the benefits conferred by parks are jeopardized. By far, it’s Fairfax County’s biggest bang for the penny. It just goes to prove the value of parks. We think it’s a cent well spent. We hope you agree.

Welcome Insect Control Champs to Your Yard

quick q takes takes

The world has held great Heroes, As history books have showed; But never a name to go down to fame Compared with that of Toad! - Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows

ero status isn’t restricted to the master of Toad Hall. Every one of these bumpy amphibians is a champion over-achiever, at least when it comes to pest control. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a single adult toad can be counted on to devour more than 10,000 slugs, gypsy moth caterpillars, earwigs and other noxious insects over the course of a summer. That’s one reason why Hidden Oaks Nature Center is promoting toad abodes this spring.“We want to attract beneficial wildlife to our yards and personal spaces,” explained Assistant Naturalist Kim Young, who’s been dubbed the nature center’s Earth Mother in recognition of her enthusiastic activism on behalf of resource stewardship. “For wildlife’s sake as well as our own.Their habitat has been reduced; they need safe havens.” The abodes also give rise to teachable moments.The brightly painted double decker model in the front yard of Kim’s Fairfax Station home is a conversation starter. People inquire about it, and she gets an opening to make a pitch for resource protection. The occupancy rates may be higher in the shadier, damper and less visible backyard but the opportunity to proselytize on behalf

of the environment outweighs any detriments in the front yard location, she noted, adding “I get so many questions!” It’s easy to build an abode. Select the dampest spot in the yard and half-bury a large terra cotta flower pot on its side. Leave it with the rustic look or paint the above-ground portion with non-toxic paint to add “curb appeal.” Or you can use an Exacto knife to score a door shape on the rim, wrap the pot in a cloth and tap gently with a hammer to remove the door chip, then invert the abode-to-be and decorate. Toads need a convenient source of water for a daily soak, so nearby sink a terra cotta saucer, a pie tin or a birdbath without a stand into the dirt, fill with water and spray every day or two to keep the mini-pond fresh. Finish your housing development project by spring and come summer, young toads will settle in to work on insect control. How do you know if you’ve got a toad or a frog? Land-dwelling toads are brown, bumpy skinned and short legged; water-dwelling frogs are green and smooth skinned with longer back legs for swimming.Toads secrete gooey ooze from their skin when Visit our website at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks

they’re startled, and this has resulted in a bad reputation. But the nasty tasting irritant only deters predators; it does not cause warts. A word of caution, however, on the toad’s side.The amphibian’s permeable skin easily takes up toxins so when you set up your toad abode, don’t spoil the welcome with deadly pesticides and lawn chemicals. To learn more about toad abodes, hibernacula’s and other ways to make your backyard welcoming to wildlife, visit Hidden Oaks or any Park Authority nature center. At press time, the Annandale neighborhood needed only 38 more homes certified as Backyard Habitats by the National Wildlife Federation to qualify the entire Mason District as a Community Wildlife Habitat, a prestigious ranking already achieved by Great Falls, Arlington, Reston and South Riding.The effort is being spearheaded and sponsored by the Friends of Hidden Oaks Nature Center.To find out how you can join the habitat drive, call the nature center at 703-941-1065 or e-mail Kevin Holland at J kholland11@verizon.net. 5

Summer Rocks with Fun at Camp R.o.C.S.

t’s 10a.m. on a warm summer morning, and camp is in full swing at Spring Hill RECenter. A passel of kids, six to 12 year olds, from pint size to giant size, are running through practice drills for the Fire Olympics on the next day. They look seriously determined as they run and duck, crawl, hop and crabwalk their way through an obstacle course that duplicates what they might face in escaping a fire. They know that tomorrow, they’ll be racing against kids from other Park Authority camps, and they want those medals for their Spring Hill team. Raucously happy cheers echo across the soccer field as they yell encouragement to their cohorts from the sidelines.The serious competitors run in place as they wait; the not-so-serious talk Pokeymon strategy and vie for the attention of the college-aged counselors and the younger counselors-in-training. The counselors move through the throng, sending runners to the starting line, exchanging high fives, adding their voices to the cheering section, checking on standapart kids here and there and answering non-stop questions from campers. “What’s your favorite movie?” “How old are you?” “You look like my cousin. Maybe you’re related to me?” “Do you have a boy friend?” The hero-worshipping interest is graciously accepted, and the counselors keep their attention circling like a spotlight, shining on one child after another. Most of the campers are multi-session kids, who go from camp to camp as summer rolls on.They all seem to know each other; they

all look engaged and involved; and judging from the decibel level of the names they’re chanting, every one of them is determined that the counselors-in-training will take their turns running the course.The CITs oblige; even the camp director dares the obstacles. It’s camaraderie to the max -- everyone’s sweaty, everyone’s tired, everyone’s grinning.The practice for the Fire Olympics ends, and as the thermometer climbs towards a high in the 90s, the kids head back to the air conditioned RECenter. “I love to hold your hand,” says a blond six-year-old in pink, as she skips along next to her favorite counselor. One of the smallest children in this camp session, she had begged the older girl to run the obstacle course in her place, but through the magic of friendship, she still counted herself as taking part.“You did it for me, so that means I did it!” the child maintained, her smile signaling that she was just fine with the surrogate representation. Back at the RECenter, music marks the start of the daily dance party. This cool alternative to heat-of-theday outside play began spontaneously when inventive counselors introduced the kids to the fancy footwork of “Thriller.” With the campers talking non-stop about Michael Jackson in the week following his unexpected death, Free Subscription to Parktakes. call 703-222-4664

it was the perfect opening for the dance steps to his million-selling hit, and that made for an immediate sale of the new indoor activity. Most of the kids model their moves after the counselors who are demonstrating at the front of the lines, a few kids do their own thing and all are watching themselves intently on the mirrors that ring the room, the boys staring as hard – or harder – than the girls. “Right foot, let’s stomp. Left foot, let’s stomp. Now cha-cha real smooth,” go the instructions as “Thriller” is replaced by “Get Funky!” It’s non-stop movement, with happy feet crisscrossing, hopping, pivoting and sliding. And it’s as energized as a game of tag, but without the heat effects of outdoor exercise in August. Next, the campers may head across the street for kickball in Spring Hill Elementary School’s gym or a game of knock-out on the basketball court. Or they may try crab soccer on the RECenter’s racquetball court. After lunch, it’s pool time as kids and counselors take to the water for volleyball and other games.Then arts and crafts fill out the rest of the day, with creative projects that include the likes of windsocks, dream catchers, wall hangings, Independence Day rockets, badges for Hometown Heroes and little pioneer people with their own log cabins and Conestoga wagons.The routine is varied with field trips to the popular Water Mine at Lake Fairfax park and presentations by guests like the trainer of the Pentagon’s bomb detection dogs. With so much going on, what’s best about camp? The shouted answers include kickball, crafts, Fire Olympics, the counselors and a chorus in favor of swimming and the pool. But one bouncy, high-energy eight-year-old seemed to sum up the majority opinion, judging by the affirmative head nods that greeted his response. “Everything about camp is J the best -- just everything!” Spring 2010

Proximity to a Park Can Improve Health

L Clients of BIS celebrate a great putt at the annual picnic and mini-golf tournament at Jefferson District Golf Course.

Customer Service Applauded

anager Karen Falcona and Assistant Manager Jon Casey at Jefferson District Golf Course were honored recently with an Outstanding Community Partner award from Brain Injury Services, Inc. (BIS). Founded in 1989 and based in Springfield, BIS is the first community-based agency in Virginia to specialize in serving individuals with traumatic brain injury. For the past three years, BIS has held its yearly picnic and miniature golf outing at Jefferson.The award recognizes the extra help that Jefferson’s staff has provided to accommodate the orgaJ nization’s members with brain injuries.

iving near a park can lower your chances of having anxiety disorders, depression and respiratory diseases, according to new research from the Netherlands. Investigators there looked at health records of patients across the country, reviewing for 24 different health conditions treated over the course of a year.Their study covered some 350,000 people seen at 96 medical practices. With postal codes, they also determined the incidence of green space within two miles of each patient’s home. For 15 of the 24 conditions of ill health, the incidence was lowest among people living in the greenest areas, even with factoring in controls for other influences.The strongest associations between green space and improved health were seen within a

radius of one kilometer (0.6 mile). The benefit was greatest for mental health conditions.Those in the greenest areas were a third less likely to be treated for anxiety disorders and a fifth less likely to be treated for depression. As for physical health, the protective benefits were greatest for respiratory ailments such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and upper respiratory infections. The Netherlands’ research is not the first to link green space with better health, but it is the first to judge the impact of green J space on specific health conditions.

Water Exercise Class that’s So Much More Park programs provide boundless opportunities for fun and enrichment. You can exercise, play, explore an art form, master a new sport or hobby, appreciate history, learn about nature and more – “much, much more,” as the promotional blurbs promise. This is a story about the “much, much more.” Some of the names have been changed for privacy’s sake.

ack in 1983, when Mary Lou was working nights as a nurse, she dropped by Providence RECenter on Tuesday and Thursday mornings to unwind in the water exercise class.Twenty-six years later, the retired Army captain is still splishing and splashing in the pool with her cohorts, most of them regulars for at least two decades. And what started as a typical exercise class is now a combination support group, social circle, transportation network and company of friends. On this Tuesday morning, 25 women ranging in age from 40-something to 90-plus fill the roped- off section of the pool reserved for classes. And everybody is moving, even the few who left their canes propped against the beach entry’s handrail.They may be a little unsteady in their land balance but in the water, with no fear of falling, they are action in motion. Under the guidance of Debbie Clark, their instructor for the past eight years, the women go from jumping jacks to stretches. They stride forwards and backwards, throw punches, hop from side to side, jog in place and push foam barbells up and down and back and forth against the water’s resistance. Everyone is smiling, and nobody exercises alone.They work in conversational pods of two, three or four, with rovers bouncing from one group to another, collecting and

delivering personal news. Some seem more serious about exercising and others seem more serious about socializing, but all keep up the constant motion. Betty had a typical motivation for joining the class more than 20 years ago.“I came because of back problems. After a couple of sessions, my back improved so I stopped, but then the pain returned, and I did, too. With exercise, you’ve got to be faithful. And that’s been easy because I meet so many wonderful ladies.” The exercise is only a start and a part of the benefits. Sue has been a regular in the class for 25 years. She now has dementia. Her daughters take turns bringing her one day, her companion brings her the other, and her pool mates are accepting and patient of her short-term memory lapses. “The friends

she’s made are simply phenomenal,” added her daughter. Sue and her daughters hold the class picnic every summer. It’s not the only outof-the-pool gathering. Kim, a relative newcomer with just a year-and-a-half at water exercise, was hostess for last year’s Christmas party, which she’s now claiming as her annual contribution to the group.“On my first day, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I just love the class and the people.” The ladies go in tandem to Rosemary’s plays; she’s a director, and her most recent production was Our Town at Alexandria’s Port City Playhouse.They get together to celebrate birthdays – Eunice, nicknamed the secretary general, keeps the roster.They carry Marie’s stylish and colorful hand-sewn purses and wear the gorgeous jackets that she quilts. Carmelina, who joined the class two years ago, is slowly but beautifully crocheting shawls for all.They take turns picking up their cohorts who’ve developed visual impairments. If someone doesn’t show up for a class, she gets a call to find out why, and if she’s sick, she gets a visit. And after every class, the ladies congregate at a long table at Dominion Deli for lunch, where they share the updates and stories

Help Every Child Fly!

lemyjontri Park in McLean has one of the first large-scale playgrounds in the nation specifically designed for children with and without disabilities to play side-byside. Its unique play equipment and carousel have brought smiles, healthy exercise and self-confidence to thousands of children who are unable to enjoy conventional playgrounds. But Clemyjontri lacks an important feature - a swing accessible to children in wheelchairs. A one-of-a-kind solution is now available, the Liberty Swing, an Australian invention. It functions much like an ordinary swing, but numerous engineering features are incorporated to accommodate a wheelchair. There are only a handful of Liberty Swings in the U.S. and none in the metropolitan area. To learn more and see an action video, visit www.fxparks.org/Liberty-Swing.html. You can help to bring a Liberty Swing to Clemyjontri Park.Your tax-deductible gift will enable children who use wheelchairs to experience the fun and freedom of swinging through the air.

Proof of Bobcats Found at Riverbend

ince the establishment of a park on the Potomac River, visitors to Riverbend have reported seeing and hearing bobcats there. A decade or so ago, the park’s maintenance supervisor and a park naturalist both spotted the elusive predator. But with no reliable sightings in recent years and with visitor reports dwindling, park staff began to wonder if the cats had died off or moved on. That is, until mid-September when bobcat tracks were found and photographed, verifying their presence in the park.“Bobcat tracks are not only different from fox or dog, but they have very distinct shapes that distinguish them from other cat tracks,” explained Riverbend manager Marty Smith, an expert tracker who has given tracking lessons to FBI agents.“What makes them unique is the shape of the heel pad, which is the entire foot area below the toes.The bobcat’s heel pad has three scallop-shaped lobes that form the back of the heel. And at the top of the heel pad, the part right under the toes, there is a double lobe. No other mammal, cat or otherwise, has these unique traits.” Native to Virginia, this medium-sized cat with distinctive ear tufts, black-tipped tail and sideburns of cheek fur is a secretive animal that seldom ventures into the open except at night. Roughly twice as big as the average housecat, bobcats stand 20 to 24 inches at the shoulder and range from 16 to 30 pounds. Heavily forested Riverbend Park, rich in small mammals and flanked by the rock walls and outcroppings of the Potomac Spring 2010

Bond Update More Fields Converted to Synthetic Turf Opportunities for sports expanded last year as the Park Authority completed synthetic field conversions and lighting upgrades at parks across the county. An over-sized field designed for multiple small-sided soccer games opened in July at Lee District Park.The $1.2 million conversion, which also came with lights, was finished six weeks ahead of schedule. (Played on a small field with fewer players, small-sided soccer is a variation of the game geared for younger kids who are learning the sport.) The 340-foot field at Bailey’s Elementary School for the Arts and Sciences in Falls Church went from natural to synthetic turf in September, much to the joy of the sports enthusiasts in Mason District, where the Park Authority’s 2004 needs assessment identified a shortage of rectangular fields. Now ready for soccer, hockey, lacrosse and football, the new $800,000 field, which includes a bump-out area with a backstop, is the last conversion project to be funded from the 2006 park bond. It came in just behind the first conversion project in the 2008 bond, Greenbriar Park in Chantilly, which was finished in August. Another over-sized field for smallsided soccer and again coming in ahead of schedule, the $900,000 project will also be used for men’s and women’s lacrosse, football and field hockey. Lights were upgraded at Lake Fairfax Park’s two diamond fields in June, and the lights at Poplar Field’s two diamonds were completed in October. South Run Park will get new lights by year’s end.The price tag for the six retrofits is just under $600,000. Anticipation is building for the 2008 park bond project that will add lighting to all six fields at Pine Ridge Park and convert one rectangular field to synthetic. The project kicked off in September and is in the early design phase, with completion expected by fall 2010.

Storage Expanded at Green Spring Green Spring Gardens has a new 2,000 square foot storage building for housing small utility vehicles used to maintain the park’s gardens.The $350,000 structure, which also includes space for plant propagation, is constructed with low maintenance materials and recycled shingles to make it as “green” as possible. Gorge, is perfect habitat, with plenty of vegetative cover and small caves for day beds and dens plus quarrys of rabbit, birds, mice and squirrels. “It’s exciting and wonderful – bobcats are so elusive, they’re so rare to see and so little is known about their populations in the state. We just don’t see predators in Fairfax County,” Smith noted.“It’s encouraging to know we still have this piece of wilderness.” Enlargements of the bobcat’s paw print photos are on display at Riverbend’s Visitor Center, and staff can tell you more about this rarely seen creature. Visitors are encouraged to report any tracks they find in the park, and if anyone should Visit our website at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks

Eugenia Davis Eugenia Davis’s husband, Bob, a civil engineer and naval architect, was a volunteer at Colvin Run Mill for eight years.“He loved it here! He liked the mechanics of the mill and its history, and he was the ice cream king – he was instrumental in starting the mill’s handchurned program.” Bob Davis died in 2003, and Eugenia, who was then still working parttime as a technical writer with the National Institutes of Health, continued the connection. Parks were a tradition for the Davis family. She and her husband had visited 250 national and state parks across the U.S.A., and today, many of their five children and seven grandchildren carry National Park passports. Plus, Eugenia grew up in the rural Pennsylvania town of Dunlo, where her father ran a general store, and as soon as she was big enough to see over the counter, she took her turn selling everything from candy and food to medicines, clothing, livestock feed, coal mining supplies and gas. So she was perfect for the post of storekeeper at the mill’s General Store. Behind the oldfashioned cash register every Monday, Eugenia contributes more than 200 hours a year as a Colvin Run volunteer. Favorite park? Lincoln’s birthplace, the Florida Keys, Fort McHenry, Mt. Rushmore, the Wind Caves – there are so many! And they’re all so wonderful – how could I pick a favorite? Best part of your job at Colvin Run Mill? I enjoy the history, and I enjoy meeting the people. Such an interesting assortment comes through here. People who go to parks are so nice!

The mill’s value? It’s such a different experience, especially for children. So much today is prepackaged, glossy and glitzy. Here, they can see the world the way it used to be. It whets their appetite for history. Why volunteer? In addition to being enjoyable, volunteering ensures that my world continues to expand, not telescope in on itself as it would if I spent my days watching TV. I meet interesting new people of every age and type and develop new interests and skills. What better way to ward off senility when you get to be 80? My plan for next year is to take the master gardener classes at Green Spring, then put in my 150 hours of volunteering to discharge that commitment.

Spring 2010

AquAtics 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.

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.

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.

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.

Spring 2010

• 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 (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 & 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. Gain comfort in the water and learn how to enter and exit the water safely. Explore submerging to the mouth, nose, eyes and completely; buoyancy on front and back; and changing body position. Two adults may participate with each child. Babies must wear TIGHT fitting swim diaper and plastic pants under bathing suit. 2AP 8--30 minute lessons--$81 2AQ 7--30 minute lessons--$71 2AAP 6--30 minute lessons--$61 2AO 5--30 minute lessons--$51

Park Profile . . . Barbara Peake The child of a military family, Barbara Peake moved to Northern Virginia in 1972. She graduated from Langley High School and went on to Virginia Wesleyan College in Virginia Beach. Her connection to parks began when she met her husband-tobe in a photography class at Audrey Moore (then Wakefield ) RECenter. Twenty years and three children later, Barbara was determined to return to an active lifestyle, so she headed back to RECenters. First, she tried classes in land aerobics; “I died.” Then she tried water aerobics; “I loved it.” In fact, she enjoyed being in the water so much that she became a certified water aerobics instructor. She started out teaching two days a week at Cub Run and three days at Oak Marr. By adding certifications in water safety and arthritis water exercise, she expanded the variety of the classes she teaches. She settled in at Cub Run where she’s now the instructor for Baby/Toddler/Preschool and Me Swim, PeeWee Paddlers, Swimming PeeWee Paddlers and water exercise classes. She is currently working to become certified as a personal trainer. Personal fitness regimen? I spend 15 hours a week in the pool, and I walk about 8 hours a week. It all correlates perfectly. This keeps me active and still lets me be home when my children return from school. The key to effectively teaching children to swim? You have to be in tune with them. I think I learned that from raising three children. I can see when they’re getting bored, and I adapt quickly to keep children interested and engaged. The secret is to make swimming lessons far too fun for anyone’s interest to lag.

And water exercise? We sing and dance to make the class fun. My students are wonderful. There’s a core group of 30 ladies and a few gentlemen who’ve been exercising together for four years, since Cub Run opened. We have some who’ve been through three wars, traveled the world, lived in Africa – they’re so interesting! But we don’t forget that we’re here for a workout! The emphasis in arthritis water exercise? We focus more on stretching so they can drive a car, reach a can on the top shelf and use their bodies all day. The best thing about Cub Run? Cub Run is smaller and more intimate than some of the other centers. I’ve heard so many compliments from patrons on the great facilities and friendly staff. I like it here because my students are such fun, the life guards are wonderful and the management is top-notch.

Boating, Fishing and Camping Burke Lake Park

Walk off the winter blahs on park trails this spring. One of the newest is the Cross County Trail, a 40-mile pathway that traverses the county on a northsouth route.

The Cross County Trail Extending from Lorton in the south to Great Falls in the north, the 40-mile Cross County Trail runs through the heart of Fairfax County. A connector between neighborhoods, the trail offers recreation, exercise, opportunities for contact with nature and history, and the “green” option of walking or biking instead of driving to work, shopping centers and metro stations. There’s a lot to see and do along the CCT. Here’s a sampling of the attractions: • At Laurel Hill, the historic brick walls, guard towers and barrel bridge from the old Lorton Prison and of more recent vintage, the high steel frame bridge over Giles Run. • The Pohick Stream Valley’s fair weather crossings and huge exposed rocks along the creek. • Boating, miniature golf, carousel rides and wildflowers in Lake Accotink Park. • Mountain biking opportunities in Wakefield Park. • Bird watching in the Accotink Stream Valley near Eakin Park. • North of Oak Marr Park, the Difficult Run Stream Valley’s sense of splendid isolation in woodlands that echo with the sounds of the wild. • Just off the trail north of Route 7, the operating grist mill at Colvin Run Mill Historic Site. • Boulder crossings of the stream - one near Browns Mill Road and one near Old Dominion Drive – in the Difficult Run Stream Valley. For maps detailing the route of this county-wide connector, visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks. The CCT map link is under “Find an Activity.”

Park Profile . . . Vicky Meyer Vicky Meyer is as local as they come. Born at Alexandria Hospital and a graduate of Groveton High School, she spent free weekends during her teen years hanging out on the ice at Mt. Vernon RECenter’s rink. After earning a degree in education from Radford University, with a dual major in early and mid childhood development, she taught fifth, third and second grades at Hayfield Elementary School for seven-plus years, then tutored after her two boys arrived. The children went one after the other to Lee District RECenter’s preschool with mom down the hall as the instructor for the soft playroom, a job she began in 2001. It worked perfectly, with preschool starting and ending at the same time as Vicky’s classes. After guiding little ones in the playroom for nine years, she moved up to preschool director last September. In that post, she also teaches music and movement for all three age groups -- two-and-a-half-year-olds, three-year-olds and four-year-olds. Weekends when the weather cooperates, Vicky can usually be found at Wakefield Park, biking the trails with her older son while her youngest hits the half pipes on his skateboard. The emphasis in Lee District’s preschool? We’re continuing the tradition of learning through play. We teach the children shapes, letters, colors, numbers, the sounds of the alphabet and more, but most importantly, we have fun. The benefits of preschool in a RECenter? Countless! In bad weather, we can use the soft playroom, the dance studio, any room that’s not being used for classes. The playground is so close, and for a special treat, there’s the carousel. One of our preschool teachers is a swimming instructor, and she

offers our youngsters the chance to have a water safety day at the RECenter pool if parents want to get wet with their children. In addition, the kids move from place to place in an environment that’s similar to an elementary school building, so they get the feel of what school will be like. What do the kids like best? Everything! They’re always happy. Your reward? The smiling faces and the funny things they say. They keep you young and fit. They’re just wonderful, and their energy is infectious. The best thing about Lee District RECenter? It’s the same RECenter I went to as a child. The staff is lovely, very helpful and very encouraging. The facility is so accessible. There’s something here for everybody.

Crafty Kids Children and parents create arts and crafts projects that can be repeated at home using a variety of materials. Supply fee payable to instructor at first class. 2TA 10--45 minute lessons--$81

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 that follow are a guide for choosing classes that suit you.

The Joey Pizzano Memorial Fund, founders Bob and Paola Pizzano Bob and Paola Pizzano established the Joey Pizzano Memorial Fund after their six-year-old son’s death in a tragic drowning accident. It was their way of giving back to the community following the outpouring of help and sympathy at their loss. To honor Joey and his love of the water, they focused the fund’s work on water safety education for other children with special needs. Since 1998, more than 5,000 young people in the Washington metro area have participated in JPMF Splash. In this award-winning program, volunteers work one-on-one with children with disabilities on skillbuilding games and water safety exercises under the guidance of certified instructors. The benefits are triple fold: children with disabilities master safety lessons and build a foundation for learning to swim, teenage volunteers learn to see beyond disability to ability, and everyone – volunteers, students and their families – has a great time together. The fund has also supported the Park Authority’s Adapted Aquatics and Clemyjontri, the agency’s fully accessible playground, as well as other programs benefiting the special needs community. Now, following up on the success of JPMF Splash, the fund is raising money to build a spray ground, Our Special Harbor, at Lee District Park. An accessible tree house is under construction at the park’s family recreation area and plans call for an accessible plalyground to be added. Why expand the Joey Pizzano Memorial Fund’s work? It was a natural evolution. We have four sessions of JPMF Splash at three sites in Fairfax County, the Red Cross has referenced the Splash approach in its water safety instructor manuals and the international Safe Kids Coalition plans to pilot programs modeled on Splash at five locations elsewhere in the U.S. It was time to try something more to provide these unique families with opportunities for fun. Why a spray ground? We have children with disabilities and children without disabilities, so we know how hard it is for families like ours to find places

enjoy a tea at the Historic House. This is a delightful introduction to the mission and history of Green Spring Gardens, one of the preeminent places for horticulture in the Washington, D.C. area. Individuals and groups are welcome. $27

where we can all have fun together. We want to provide an accessible haven, Our Special Harbor, for all families, regardless of ability or economic status. We want to help create a place for family time. Features? Our Special Harbor will be a zero-depth spray park with a Chesapeake Bay theme, because Joey loved our home on the bay so much. The spraying attractions will include a water maze with changing patterns, a crab boat, rainbows, osprey nests, water benches that will give you the feel of sitting under a waterfall, a light house and a skipjack with tumbling buckets and water cannons that the kids can shoot. And it will have special wheelchairs that can go into the water. Time line? We’re aiming for ground breaking on June 1, 2010, and opening on Memorial Day, 2011. But we need to raise $1 million so timing depends on our progress towards that goal. Why partner with parks? We saw an opportunity to expand interactive family activities by working together. We share the same goals. Parks support family enjoyment and encourage families to play together. Parks are committed to giving everyone equal access to recreation and fun. For information on how you can help in the building of Our Special Harbor, go to JPMF.org.

Park Profile . . . John Melanson John Melanson is at home in the parks. Joining the Park Authority in 1975, he maintained ball fields and parks across Fairfax County for a decade before crossing over to golf courses. From Pinecrest, he bounced back to Lake Accotink Park and then settled in at Burke Lake Golf Course for nine years. It was a happy landing for John, who was one of four brothers in a military family. The boys learned to play golf in Germany and continued the game on high school teams when they returned stateside. They taught each other, and with one of the foursome finishing second in the Commonwealth, they had good instructors. Playing rounds at Burke, John caught the attention of a teaching pro who went on to establish Every Body Golf School, which provides the Park Authority’s lesson program. When John retired, he was offered a job at Every Body Golf School’s Burke Lake operation within weeks, so no sooner had he left the park than he was back again. In addition to lessons for all levels of golfers, John devotes Saturdays in May and from August to November to coaching teenagers to 30-somethings who want to compete in golf at the Special Olympics. An ardent angler, he’s also the acknowledged expert on fishing 218-acre Burke Lake, the state’s most popular small impoundment, and when he’s not swinging a golf club, he’s casting a line for bass and muskies. Biggest challenge in mastering the game of golf? Finding the time to practice. The amount of time you practice is a big thing – you’ve got to practice, practice, practice. A lot of golf is in your head but golf also has a lot of feel, and you don’t get the feel without practice. Hardest thing to learn? Beginners want to grip the club as tight as they can. That’s wrong. A tight grip puts tension into your whole body. It makes you tight when you need to be loose. In teaching kids, we tell them to imagine holding a bird in their

tournaments MARCH 26 Friday Shot in the Dark Night Tournament (12 yrs. and up) 8pm, Burke Lake Golf Course, 703323-1641. Teams of two play a nine-hole scramble using glow-in-the-dark balls. Hors d’ouevres served beginning at 7pm. Fee includes one glow ball and flashlight. Additional glow balls are $5 each. Closest to the pin contests. Registration begins two weeks prior to the event. Limited to first 18 teams. Prizes for 1st, 2nd, 3rd place teams. Rain date April 2. $60/ team. Fee due at registration.

hands and then to grip the club with that same gentle hold. Your hands can’t work through the swing if they’re tight. And swinging too hard and too fast goes right along with that. The right age to start? Girls pick it up so much quicker than boys, who try to hammer the ball. Maybe 10 to 11 years old. They perceive more at that age, and their bodies are strong enough to hold a club. The joy of teaching? It’s fun! Having students hit one shot right – you can see it and hear it, and they turn around and smile and tell me, “I’ve got it!” That’s my reward. The best thing about Burke Lake Golf Course? The course provides challenges and changes. It’s open, wooded, hilly and flat. It has long holes and short holes. And the course conditions are unbelievably beautiful; it’s immaculately maintained.

Park Profile . . . Brian Umanzor When Brian Umanzor moved from California to Northern Virginia in 2000 as a 12-year-old, he was an outdoor kid who spent his free time stalking bugs, turtles and other critters. So it’s no wonder that he found his way to Hidden Pond Nature Center. He signed on as a volunteer in 2005 for the every-other-Saturday crew to lead programs and birthday parties and, in between, collect worms and bugs to feed the center’s animals. After he graduated from Robinson High School in 2006, he became a part-time naturalist, developing and presenting programs, doing outreach to nearby schools and appearing in Hidden Pond’s wonderfully original dramas. (He was particularly memorable as the ant farm in the Critterhood of the Traveling Ants.) Brian will graduate from Northern Virginia Community College this spring with an associate’s degree in parks and recreation and then transfer to George Mason University to complete his studies. What do kids like best about Hidden Pond programs? Being able to pet the animals. They’re fascinated by the snakes. And they enjoy the hands-on interaction when we go for a walk in the woods to see what we can find. How do you make the connection with kids? I go with the flow and respond to their interests. I’ll ask a question, and they’ll come back with a story that’s sometimes related and sometimes not. So I often end up changing plans and going in a new direction. That means no program is ever the same. And it helps me practice my public speaking when I change up as I’m going along.

Biggest stewardship issue facing Fairfax County? Water pollution. A pool dumped chlorine water into the creek, and we had a fish kill. This year, thankfully, we got two aerators; before that, the pond was completely green with duck weed fed by fertilizer run-off from the yards upstream. But there are positive signs. We’ve pulled tons of car parts and junk, and tons and tons of trash from Pohick Creek in our twice yearly stream valley clean-ups, and we get lots of volunteers coming from our programs to help. I think our stream valley clean-ups make an impact. What’s the most important lesson that young people -- grown-ups, too – learn at Hidden Pond? To preserve and protect wildlife habitat and prevent pollution of the environment if they want to save the animals. The best thing about Hidden Pond? The woods, the animals and the interaction with people. We have 50 volunteers, and the staff and volunteers are all friends, we all know each other. And we have a very personal relationship with our public. We get lots of repeat visitors – kids come as toddlers, then pre-schoolers, then elementary school students. For me, it’s the perfect place. I love animals, I love the outdoors and I love teaching people about animals and the outdoors.

10 Wednesday Wildlife Wednesday-Crustacean Sensation (4-6yrs), 4:30-5:30pm. From crayfish to sow bugs, crustaceans get the royal treatment from our naturalist. This program features the one and only crayfish catching technique --Plan 346. $4.

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.

Scout Programs in the Parks At our historic sites, working farm, nature centers and RECenters, scouts can complete some or all the requirements for badges, depending on the program. (+Denotes program meets all requirements for badge.) Please note that pre-paid reservations are required. For coded merit badge programs, use the registration form at the back of Parktakes. For other scout programs, use the registration form in the Scout section. Sorry, web and operator-assisted registration are not set up to handle registrations for scout programs. For additional details on the programs that follow, please contact the site directly. See Directions to Parks on pages 10 and 11 for phone numbers. Cost may vary depending on program lengths, handouts and crafts. Early registration discount and out-ofcounty fees do not apply. Refunds for scout programs require two-week written notice.
