Laurel Hill to host National Championship

bout this time next summer, the Fairfax County Park Authority will find itself in the national spotlight when it hosts a major United States Golf Association event at Laurel Hill Golf Club: the 2013 U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship. What a thrill it will be to see the most accomplished amateur golfers from across the United States compete in the prestigious championship here in Fairfax County. Since 1989, the winner of the U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship has been invited to compete in the Masters Tournament, and one former Championship contender, George Archer, went on to win the Masters. Several others have gone on to win golf’s four other major professional tournaments, including U.S. Open winners Tommy Bolt and Ken Venturi, and British Open champion Tony Lema. USGA standards are extremely high, and the selection of Laurel Hill to host an event of this caliber speaks very well of the course and the competitive challenge it offers. The selection is especially meaningful to us because our mission is to give members of the public access to the best facilities possible, and this endorsement reinforces our belief that we are accomplishing that mission. Laurel Hill opened in October 2005 on the property that once housed the District of Columbia Department of Corrections facility at Lorton. Its professionally designed layout includes multi-tiered elevation changes, extensive bunkers and an unusual variety of green complexes on rolling, tree-lined terrain crisscrossed with streams and dotted with ponds. Over the course of the next year, our staff will be working with the USGA to prepare for the event, which will take place July 15-20, 2013. In the meantime, stop by and see for yourself what makes Laurel Hill the destination of champions.

Fairfax County’s programs, services and facilities are available to all citizens regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability.

into Summer with

Military Bands

U.S. Army Blues

Blues Jazz Ensemble – Since 1970, the U.S. Army Blues, part of The United States Army Band “Pershing’s Own,” has served as the premier jazz ensemble of the United States Army. The band has shared the stage with jazz greats such as Dave Brubeck, Doc Severinsen, Stanley Turrentine, Slide Hampton, Dr. Billy Taylor, Kevin Mahogany, and Terrell Stafford. The musicians of the Army Blues perform regularly at the White House, the State Department and high-level military protocol and ceremonial events in the Washington, D.C. area.

Downrange - In 2002, volunteers from the U.S. Army Band joined a contingent of USO performers to travel with the “Hope and Freedom Tour” to entertain deployed troops throughout Southwest Asia during the December holiday season.These volunteers were the first members of “Pershing’s Own” to go “downrange” into a theater of foreign combat operations since World War II. The tour’s success inspired the new look and sound that is now The U.S. Army Band Downrange.Today, the band enjoys great popularity with all audiences through its repertoire of rock, pop, country, and R & B, while still inspiring its listeners with signature patriotic arrangements.

U.S. Navy Cruisers - The U.S. Navy’s contemporary entertainment ensemble features eight of the Navy’s most dynamic performers. The group takes its name from the Navy’s versatile, multi-missioned ship – the Cruiser – and the band lives up to its namesake by playing genres of music ranging from jazz & standards, rhythm & blues, classic rock, adult contemporary and pop as well as original material.This elite group has engaged and excited audiences of all ages throughout the U.S. and abroad with world-class musicianship and high-energy, fun-filled performances. Country Current - The U.S. Navy’s country-bluegrass ensemble is nationally renowned for its versatility and musicianship, performing a blend of modern country music and cutting4

Country Current

U.S. Air Force Airmen of Note - The U.S. Air Force’s Airmen of Note jazz ensemble was created in 1950 to carry on the tradition of Major Glenn Miller’s Army Air Corps dance band. Today the “Note” features 18 of the most talented jazz musicians in the country and is one of the last touring big bands. It has earned an international reputation as one of the finest and most versatile big bands of its kind in the world. Max Impact – This seven-member U.S. Air Force band performs exciting original music, rock, country, patriotic favorites as well as classic and current pop hits. In addition to entertaining military and civilian audiences in the United States, Max Impact has thrilled troops with its hard-rocking energy and amazing musical versatility at deployment locations including Iraq and Afghanistan.

Airmen of Note

Singing Sergeants - The official chorus of the U.S. Air Force is one of the world’s most versatile and traveled choral organizations. Originally formed in 1945 from within the ranks of The United States Air Force Band, the chorus is now composed entirely of professional vocalists who are all sergeants in the United States Air Force. The group has appeared before every chief executive of the United States since Truman, as well as with the New York Philharmonic, the Philadelphia, Cleveland, Houston and National Symphony Orchestras, and both the Boston and Cincinnati Pops. Strolling Strings - Since 1954,The United States Air Force Strings has had the honor of performing at the White House for every president from Eisenhower to Clinton.The extraordinary talent of this unit is regularly displayed at official diplomatic events hosted by the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Chief of Staff of the Air Force.

Children Gain Confidence Learning Social Graces

hether you’re age 5 or 105, good manners never go out of style. Back in the day, a course in courtesy may have been called charm school or finishing school. These days, the timeless teachings in proper public behavior, from shaking hands to table manners, are being taught to kids and “tweens” enrolled in Park Authority etiquette classes. “I don’t understand head shaking,” said teacher Henryette Neal as she reminded her students that the proper response to a question is ‘yes’ or ‘no.’ “No ‘yeah.’ Remember, no slang. Good grammar.” At the heart of this interactive six-week course are respect and courtesy. Topics include dressing to impress, telephone etiquette, sportsmanship and dining etiquette. “It’s important to learn etiquette so people get a good first impression of you,” said 12-year-old student Anchala Varma during a recent Park Authority class. “Last year, when my mom’s brother took us to a fancy restaurant, I saw so many forks and thought ‘What am I supposed to do?’ Now I know and can be more confident.” Even the youngest students grasp the importance of respectful social behavior such as introductions.“Give me your hand,” said 6-year-old Cristian Jimenez-Ebert as he demonstrated a proper handshake,“and you look at them (in the eye),” he said with an accomplished smile. Instructor Henryette Neal prides herself on teaching students the skills that will help them succeed at all stages of life. The former advertising executive remembers how her teenage finishing school train-

ing helped her earn a job offer shortly after college. “They took me out to lunch and dinner at some very fancy restaurants, and I kept wondering ‘why do they keep inviting me out?’” As it turned out, it was part of the job interview. “Since advertising meetings often take place over a meal, they wanted to see how I conducted myself in that setting,” she said. Neal encourages her students to learn by doing and by practicing at home. “We have to watch our tone of voice when talking to Mom and Dad because why?” “They are in charge,” the students replied in unison as they remembered that good manners include respect for authority. “It’s nice to have someone else reinforce what I’ve said at home,” said Jennifer Zeihl, who enrolled her sons Dotson and Hunter in the class. “It provides validation, and it gives them confidence to act this way — properly.” To find an Etiquette for Kids and Tweens class near you, turn to the X-tras section of Parktakes.

ead to a waterfront park in Fairfax County this summer, and there’s a good chance you’ll run into Liam Bellucy, an unassuming 13-year-old angler who has been reeling in fish for a decade. “I was around 3 or 4 years old,” he said while recalling the thrill of his first big catch on a fishing trip with his father in Florida. “It was a bass that weighed four pounds.” It was an exciting day for a little boy, but he says he really got hooked at age 8, after learning various fishing techniques at his first summer camp at Riverbend Park. “He fell for it hook, line and sinker,” his mother, Patty Bellucy, said. “The first camp was a week. Then he signed up for two weeks, then five weeks. It really teaches him perseverance and patience.” Liam’s passion for his pastime has more to do with the thrill of the catch than the prospect of reeling in dinner. “The anticipation (of fishing) is the hardest part,” Liam said. “There’s a certain anxiety you feel waiting for that fish.” Most times, he releases his worthy opponents back into the wild, but not before Liam Bellucy, 13, hones his competichronicling his successes close to home and tive angling skills in Park Authority in Florida. “One time, I caught a barracuda fishing camps. that was 4 feet eight inches long,” he said. “The longest freshwater fish was probably about 32 inches.” Over the last few years, Liam has reeled in a few of his friends, too. They’ve enrolled in camps together, they sometimes go fishing together, and they have found innovative ways to motivate each other after independent fishing excursions. “My friends sometimes text me and send me photos of a big fish they caught, and hopefully, I have something to reply with,” he said with a modest smile. Liam continues to hone his techniques through a number of sources. He still confers with his former Riverbend camp counselor, Ethan Kuhnhenn; he picks up tips from the fatherly and grandfatherly anglers he meets along the water’s edge; he studies success stories on the Web and he searches for YouTube videos that might offer insights for greater success. Liam is also a member of a fishing club and regularly competes in tournaments. “I’ve won medals, trophies and ‘Angler of the Year,” he said when reflecting on his best competition days,“and pats on the back,” from other competitors on the days when the fish weren’t biting. Ultimately, Liam dreams of one day winning the Bassmaster Classic, the “Holy Grail” of fishing tournaments that includes a $500,000 prize. For now, this wellgrounded seventh grader is happy with what could be his pastime’s greatest reward: “It’s a nice way to connect with my dad,” he said.

Laurel Hill Among Best in Nation

f the thousands of public golf courses in the United States, LINKS magazine ranks Laurel Hill Golf Club the seventh-best municipal course in the nation, and one of only two East Coast courses to make the prestigious list. The South Carolina-based publication calls Laurel Hill a “stern test” for accomplished golfers and “one of the best public tracks in Greater D.C.” Next summer, some of the best amateur golfers in the nation will submit their games to the test when they tee off at Laurel Hill for the 2013 U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship. The United States Golfers Association sponsors the contest and selected the course on the old Lorton prison site for next year’s event. The level of play is so outstanding; the champion gets invited to The Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia. Of course, you can play Laurel Hill anytime, if you think you’re up to the challenge. The 7,010-yard layout offers an extraordinary test for any accomplished golfer, and its multiple teeing options allow the not-so-accomplished to have a grand time, too. Laurel Hill Golf Club is located in Lorton, Va. In addition to Laurel Hill, the Park Authority has golf courses to accommodate all playing abilities. To find a course near you and to learn more about golf lessons and tournaments, turn to the Golf section of Parktakes.

Mini Golf

Fun for Family and Friends

ooking for an affordable tropical adventure the whole family can enjoy? Set sail for Jefferson Falls Miniature Golf Course at Jefferson District Park in Falls Church. The newly-renovated mini golf course features a misty, tropical wildlife theme complete with a palm tree, an alligator head and swans. “My 4-year-old daughter loves the waterfall and stream on hole number 14,” assistant manager Jon Casey said. “Also, I think it gives her a sense that she can do something that Jon Casey helps his daughter Daddy does, too, set up a shot at the Jefferson and that is to Falls Miniature Golf Course. play golf.” Casey says the adventure at Jefferson District Park inspires players of all ages. “I remember one day a number of high school swim teams showed up right at the same time, which was an unexpected surprise,” he said. We also see college students, especially in the early evening, and senior citizens enjoy the game at various times during the day – sometimes with their children and their grandchildren. It’s really heartwarming to see them having so much fun.” It takes about an hour to play the mini golf course’s 18 holes, after which players can have their pick of the park’s other amenities: a picnic area, a playground, basketball and tennis courts and a beautiful nine-hole executive golf course. Beverages and ice cream are available for purchase at the mini golf course, and hot dogs and other lunch items are available at the snack bar in the nearby clubhouse.

Emily Sinkular, Hidden Pond Nature Center Most people of Emily Sinkular’s age would probably shy away from volunteering to work with spiders and snakes. But this wise-beyond-her-years 14-year-old embraces the opportunity. “Most snakes don’t hiss,” she said enthusiastically as she encouraged a group of pre-school children to pet the black rat snake she was holding at Hidden Pond Nature Center. “Black rat snakes grow to be about five feet long and they eat rats and mice,” she said with a budding naturalist’s knowledge. Emily’s interest in wildlife was sparked when she started visiting the center at age 10. “It kind of grew on me,” she said. “Mud, animals, snakes: it’s just part of it.” Two years ago, she joined a friend and started volunteering at the center. She was fascinated with what she learned at the center, and she wanted to inspire the same interest in nature in young children. “I love working with kids,” she said as she reflected on what she learns from them. “They’re so innocent and they see the world in a different way. They say things that make

you think, ‘you’re a genius and you’re 5!’” Ultimately, Emily is considering using what she’s learned through her volunteer work to build a career in science. “I might want to be a biology major and become a dolphin trainer. It would be fun to work at an aquarium in Hawaii or Australia,” she said with a hopeful smile. Her advice to others who might want to volunteer at Hidden Pond: “Be prepared to get messy and dirty! It’s a fun place, and you’ll learn a lot.”

AQUATICS

Aquatics Monthly calendars listing pool hours are available at the Park Authority’s nine RECenters and online at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks.

Options for all abilities The Fairfax County Park Authority’s aquatic facilities offer something for everyone. From infants to senior citizens to people with special needs, we serve all levels of swimming ability and aquatic interests. Adapted Programs: See the listings in the Adapted Leisure Services section of Parktakes for seasonal offerings or call 703-324-8563. Classes are formatted for customers with disabilities who are preschool-age through adult and need more structure or a lower staff ratio than standard class offerings.

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 (CDC), accidents involving fecal matter now require longer pool closure. Prevention is far better than clean up, so please follow the CDC guidelines: • Children (and adults) who have had diarrhea in the last two weeks should not go swimming. • Be sure 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.

New Aquatic Learn-to-Swim Class Titles Top athletes hit the water at RECenter pools Potomac Valley Swimming competitions are scheduled at the RECenters listed below. Dates and times are subject to change and competitions may be added, so please confirm specific pool schedules with the individual RECenters.

Follow guidelines when registering For safety reasons and to ensure that customers get the maximum aquatic program benefits, 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 about which class is right for you or your child, the aquatic staff at any RECenter will be happy to assist you.

Repetition can be the key Each student progresses at a different speed in learning aquatic skills, depending on a number of factors including class attendance, coordination, water familiarity and outside practice. 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 cancelations. If you have questions about your or your child’s progress, 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

The Park Authority is proud to roll out a new Learn to Swim program! As you look through our class offerings you will see new titles for the Children’s and Teen’s and Adult classes. Skills have changed for all of our Learn to Swim and Pee Wee Paddler classes. If you or your child has attended our swimming classes previously, you may find that some of the skills have been changed in various classes. To help you navigate our new Learn to Swim program if you were in a Level I through Level III class you will find that Swimming I through Swimming III are very similar; if you completed Level III and passed all skills, enroll in a Swimming IV class; if you passed Level IV recently, you could enroll in a Swimming V class. More information can be found on our website, www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/parktakes. Then click on Aquatics.

Looking for Information? Details on aquatics classes is just a click away at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks. Choose “Classes,” then “Aquatics,” and you’ll find: • Class descriptions, locations, dates, times and more on classes. • Lists of the skills covered in swim classes for all ages, from six months to adult. • Important information for parents, including tips for helping children succeed at swim lessons. For pool sizes and other RECenter aquatic attractions, see www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/recenter. htm.

Learn-to-Swim 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.

Near Water?

Play it Safe this Summer! It only takes about an inch of water to pose a drowning danger to children. Follow these tips to ensure a safe summer for your family: ● Supervise your children around all water sources, including pools, play pools, bathtubs, buckets, toilets, and ponds. ● Never leave a young child unattended near water and do not entrust your child’s supervision to another child. ● Swim in designated areas supervised by lifeguards, and maintain eye contact with your children at all times. ● Have young children and nonswimmers wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket, and be sure that an adult is within arm’s reach. ● Learn water safety and rescue skills, first aid and CPR. Have a first aid kit and portable phone with you and know how to call 9-1-1. ● If you have a pool at home, secure it with appropriate barriers. Many children who drown in home pools were out of sight for less than five minutes and in the care of one or both parents at the time. ● Drain children’s inflatable and portable pools after each use. ● Make sure the cover on hot tubs is securely in place between uses. ● Take precautions against the sun’s harmful rays: wear a hat, sunscreen with protection factor of at least 15 and sunglasses that will absorb at least 90 percent of UV sunlight.

The Park Authority offers a wide range of learn-to-swim and water safety classes. See the Aquatics section in Parktakes for more details or visit Parktakes Online:

Aqua Exercise Options for aquatic exercisers To maximize training options, customers now have three different ways to participate in aqua exercise classes to allow for greater flexibility in meeting fitness and schedule needs.

Flexibility with the new Aqua Exercise Pass • Allows entry into any Park Authority water exercise class, space permitting. • Valid for four months from the date of purchase, Aqua Exercise Passes are sold at all RECenters in increments of 10, 20 or 30 visits. Pricing is based on per-class fees for coded classes. Early registration discounts and scholarships are not available for the Aqua Exercise Pass.

Drop-In (or pay as you go) • Best for the customer with a busy schedule or who wishes to try a new program. • Daily drop-in rate to attend aquatic exercise classes, space permitting.

Register for coded class listed in Parktakes magazine and Parktakes Online • Registration guarantees you a space in the class. But registration entitles you to attend only the class for which you registered. You will be issued a bar code card, and you may check in at the front desk no earlier than 30 minutes prior to the start of the class. Missed classes cannot be made up. • If the class is canceled due to facility or instructor issues, site staff will try to contact registrants in advance by phone or email. For more information, contact the front desk staff at any RECenter or visit the Park Authority Web site www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/parktakes and check Parktakes FAQ for aquatic exercise classes.

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, to shopping centers or to 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 a barrel bridge from the old Lorton Prison, and the high steel frame bridge over Giles Run. • The Pohick Stream Valley fair weather crossings and huge exposed rocks along the creek. • Boating, mini-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.”

Songwriting Workshop Learn to compose your own songs using techniques handed down from generations of songwriters from Bach to Beethoven to the Beatles to U2. Write your own music and combine it with your own words.

From children’s entertainment to familyfriendly concerts, Fairfax County residents enjoy a wide variety of performing arts through the Park Authority’s summer entertainment series. The extraordinary performances are offered free of charge thanks to the generosity of Verizon and other corporate donors. “My family is an enthusiastic participant of the Fairfax County Park system including bike trails, hiking trails, RECenters, and playgrounds,” said Verizon Government Affairs Manager Doug Brammer. “There are good reasons why our park system was honored with the National Gold Medal Award.”

Since 2001, Verizon has donated more than $73,000 to the Park Authority and the Fairfax County Park Foundation to support the summer entertainment series in local parks. Brammer says it’s Verizon’s way of giving back to the community. “Verizon’s shared success strategy is about leveraging our corporate values to create economic and social value,” he said. “We want to share our success with the community to make the world in which we live better than it was yesterday.” It’s a winning strategy that enhances the quality of life for all Fairfax County residents. It will play well in parks this summer, just as it has for more than a decade.

Pet Place Our dog obedience classes help develop understanding and communication and build a strong relationship between pet and handler. Flexible training methods are employed for home management, problem solving and correction. Please note: • Dogs that display fear or aggression are not permitted in Park Authority classes. • Bring a shot record with proof of DHLA rabies and parvovirus shots to the first class. • All dogs must be legally licensed, vaccinated, wearing a visible dog license and leashed when entering or leaving the class area. • Check with instructor at first class for proper leashes, collars and other equipment. • An adult must stay with child handler if student is younger than 16 or does not have own transportation. Register the handler, not the dog; one handler/one dog per registration.

Dog Training One-on-One Lake Accotink Park offers individualized dog training lessons taught by a longtime FCPA dog obedience instructor. Sessions are customized to your dog’s level of behavioral development and tailored to your schedule. Includes a pre-session consultation with the instructor to determine your goals and set a date and time for your first session. This is an excellent option for busy people who need more flexibility than weekly lessons can provide.

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. 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.
