Teamwork Makes the Dream Work in Adapted Aquatics

For 25 years, it’s been my privilege to be part of the Park Authority’s award winning Adapted Aquatics program. I’ve watched it grow from 1985 when I was a volunteer

for the Park Authority’s single learn-to-swim class at Audrey Moore RECenter, then Northern Virginia’s only pool with an accessible beach-level entry. Today, we have nine indoor pools with “beaches,” and our class options range from fibro-myalgia and multiple sclerosis water exercise to serious swim training for Paralympic and Special Olympic hopefuls. Plus, we’ve expanded land-based recreation and fitness programs for adults and children with disabilities. Here, the choices include gymnastics, martial arts, ice-skating and the phenomenal Lose the Training Wheels bike camp that has kids and teens pedaling two-wheelers to independence with just a week of lessons.

Adapted programs give our customers life-enriching, health-boosting exercise. They gain confidence and independence through mastery of new skills. They polish social acumen by interacting with volunteers and other students. They make friends, they build relationships and they have a grand time playing and learning. Those benefits come to everyone, improving many lives in small ways. But for some, adapted pro-grams make a world-changing difference.

In Adapted Aquatics, I’ve seen a woman who was left a quadriplegic by an accident work her way back to mobility, first to walking with leg braces, then to a car with modifications that let her drive again. I’ve seen stroke survivors regain the ability to walk in the water and then transfer the skill to land. I’ve been awed by the dedica-tion and perseverance of men and women who use Adapted Aquatics to power their way to recovery, going from wheelchair to walker to cane to unassisted mobility. I’ve watched a Special Olympic hopeful training with determination to be all that she could be until she found gold in the world games, the first Fairfax County competitor to reach that pinnacle. I’ve watched a woman with fibromyalgia use exercise to con-quer pain and escape from homebound isolation. I’ve celebrated with parents who believed their children would never learn to swim, and then not only saw the impos-sible happen but recognized a new can-do attitude being developed along with the breast stroke. And maybe best of all, I can count dozens of one-time Adapted Aquatics students who have come back, sometimes years or even decades later, to volunteer because they believe in the program.

Because miracles do happen. And it’s our community-spirited and caring volunteers who make those miracles possible. Last year, 243 people gave 14,150 hours, a contri-bution worth more than $360,000. Their energy propels the Park Authority’s adapted classes. They provide the one-on-one support critical to trust building for success, and they do it for free. Paying for this support service would send overhead skyrocketing, and the expense would end Adapted Aquatics. So the time and talents they contribute are invaluable. But talk to our volunteers, and they will tell you that they gain more than they give. The same applies to our instructors. For all, it’s a labor of love, and it strengthens the compassionate character of our Fairfax County community.

In Adapted Aquatics, we’ve learned to ignore the “dis” and focus instead on “ability.” Ability is always there. It may take a little extra nurturing to bring it out, but everyone has it.

That’s a lesson I’ll carry with me into retirement, as I come full circle to be an Adapted Aquatics volunteer again. Won’t you join me in the pool? Together, we’ll make magical things happen.

Access Promises Equal Fun for Everyone

Kaitlyn Johnson is an expert at figuring out the little things that make the big differences in helping a child with a

disability settle in, get comfortable and have weeks of fun at summer camp.

A special education teacher at Forestville Elementary School, Kaitlyn is the Rec-PAC Inclusion Specialist overseeing 22 inclusion leaders and directors for the Park Author-ity’s summer camp program with sliding scale fees held at schools across the county. In fact, it was her teenaged experience as a Rec-PAC counselor that persuaded her to make special education a career. “I love this job!” she explained with obvious enthusiasm, her arms outstretched to take in the Rec-PAC site at Colin Powell Elemen-tary School. “It’s so interesting and it’s so fulfilling.”

It’s one of five Rec-PAC locations targeted as inclusion sites. To serve a mix of children with and without disabilities, inclusion sites lower the counselor-to-camper ratio, depen-dent on the needs of the kids.

Like all inclusion leaders, Kaitlyn oversees the identification and implementation of

the individualized accom-modation plans that help every child succeed in this fun environment. The accommodations can be as simple as outlining the places to cut on a paper craft, printing directions on the blackboard instead of relying only on verbal instructions or provid-

ing a written daily schedule of activities. And they can be as complicated as developing behavior goals and having the inclusion leader watch for good behavior, rewarding every instance with tokens, which the child turns in at the end of the day for a popsicle, a puzzle or some other small but treasured reward.

Most of the chil-dren that Kaitlyn works with at Rec-PAC are on the autism spec-trum or have intellectual, physical or emotional disabilities. “Many are in contained classrooms at school, so this is an opportunity for socialization and interaction with other kids. It’s nothing like school – there’s nothing academic. They learn how to play games and take turns. They learn life skills that most people don’t even think about, like how to carry on a con-

versation and how to use words instead of actions to communicate anger. It’s great peer modeling, and everyone benefits.” Parents are often nervous and worried about how their children will do in this open setting. “So we let them come and watch, and often, they see behavior modification strategies that they can use elsewhere,” she noted. Parents of inclusion kids also get weekly reports on activities, positive feedback on how their child is doing – maybe they found a buddy or did a great job playing Capture

the Flag -- and suggestions on what they might work on at home in the week ahead.

Every resident of Fairfax County should have access to life-enriching recreation. That’s the Park Authority’s goal, and its adapted programs for people with disabilities are the means to that end. Besides inclusion support for camps and Rec-PAC, the options include gymnastics, ice skating, martial arts, exercise, Lose the Training Wheels for transition to independence on a two-wheeler and the agency’s national

award-winning flagship, Adapted Aquatics.

Adapted Aquatics sends a big wave of opportunities rolling across the Park Author-ity’s pools. Established in 1978, 12 years before the Americans with Dis-abilities Act mandated accessible programs, it began as group swim-ming lessons for adults with disabilities at

the single indoor public pool in Northern Virginia with a wheelchair ramp. Today, Adapted Aquatics includes integrated and comprehensive offerings at all of the Fairfax County Park Authority’s nine RECenters. They range from arthritis water exercise for the elderly to swim-ming lessons for preschoolers with special needs and from Special Olympics Swim Training to classes targeted to specific disabilities, such as fibromyal-gia, cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis.

In a testament to excellence, the program boasts a return rate of about 90 percent. Volunteers are the key to success. They work one-on-one with the students, building trust as they concentrate on the particular skills that each student needs. Their numbers determine the program’s capacity; without volunteers, there can be no Adapted Aquatics classes. Cur-rently, the program’s volunteer ranks include about 300 active givers who donate an average of three hours a week.

“There will always be children who can’t meet behavioral stan-dards for things like listening, following directions, respecting personal space and using appro-priate language, so in camps and classes, they may need an adapted setting with low-er staff ratios and more structure. They benefit from adaptations such as skill develop-ment in shorter increments and smooth transi-tions to the next activity,” explained Gary Logue, the manager of the Park Authority’s adapted programs. “Once they have a solid foundation, they’re ready to transition to an inclusive general recreation class, and that’s where leisure coaching kicks in.”

Leisure coaches for classes and day camps provide short-term support to children with disabilities, giving prompts, redirection and encouragement until they have settled in

and become accustomed to the routines. The coaches also work with the instruc-tors, sharing strategies for behavior management, and as needed, they help the other children understand and accept the differences in their campmates and classmates with disabilities.

Over a summer, leisure coaches may provide sup-port to 150 campers, rov-ing through the camps and working with an individual

child for one to three days of a five-day camp. For the quarterly class sessions, 25 to 30 class takers -- some of them adults -- will have a leisure coach, generally for five or six class meetings or even for the entire series if progress in adjustment is being made. For adults with physical disabilities, volunteer aides may provide assistance, and for those who are deaf or hard of hearing, sign language interpret-ers are provided.

“Our mission is to make a difference in the quality of life,” explained Logue. “And it works. Our customers feel like they

belong. They feel like they’re accepted. They deserve the opportunity to enjoy the quality of life that most of us take for granted, and we’re here to ensure that happens. Because it’s their right to participate in all aspects of everyday life.”

Golf Instructors Rank High

Vicki Phillips and Noel Jablonski, instructors at Every Body Golf School

at Oak Marr Golf Complex, are among the best teachers in Virginia, according to Golf Digest’s 2009-2010 state-by-state rankings.

To compile the “Best Teach-ers” list, the magazine distrib-uted ballots to more than 1,000 instructors, asking them to rank their peers on a grade-point scale from 1 to 10. Phillips and Jablonski were two of nine top

instructors named for the Commonwealth.

Nostalgia for Movie Fans

Once an icon of Ameri-can social life, drive-in theaters entertained

millions of avid moviegoers in the comfort of their cars with feature films shown on big screens, outdoors. Now, courtesy of the Fairfax County Park Authority and its sponsoring business partners, you can relive those magic days of yesteryear at Starlight Cinema.

Every Saturday night in August, the fun begins before the opening credits roll, with music, food and children’s activities at 7:30pm. Then the movie begins at dark. Starlight Cinema’s home is the Trinity Center on Rt. 211 and Interstate 66 at Centreville. Gates open at 6pm, admission is free and the feature films are G rated and appropriate for family audiences.

Coolers, blankets and lawn chairs are per-mitted so you can bring a picnic supper and leave your car to sit under the stars. Spaces in front of the screens are reserved for lawn seating; compact cars get the front rows, and SUVs and vans must park in the rear spaces. Since the soundtrack is transmitted over FM frequencies, you should bring a radio for lis-tening outdoors or in case you have to park in the overflow lot.

Families Pick Park Attractions as Tops

If you’re looking for the best in family fun this summer, take a tip from the Best for Families poll, conducted annually by the

largest parenting publication in the Mid-Atlantic region, and head for the Water Mine Family Swimmin’ Hole in Lake Fairfax Park.

Voted Best Swimming Pool or Water Park by the readers of Washington Fam-ily Magazine, the Water Mine boasts slides, rides, bubblers, sprays, water volleyball and tubing on Rattlesnake River plus 476 acres of surrounding park with picnic areas, trails, boat rentals, fishing and other attractions. Also making the favorite list were the Park Authority’s Martin Luther King pool and the indoor pools at Cub Run, Mt. Vernon, Oak Marr and Wakefield RECenters.

Clemyjontri Park was number one for children’s playgrounds and also a choice for Best Sunny Day Outing, along with Burke Lake, Frying Pan, Lake Fairfax and Nottoway parks. Parks in general claimed the top spot in the sunny day category, and nature cen-ters won votes for Absolute Best for Families in the D.C. area.

Other park attractions named in the Best for Families poll included:

Burke Lake Park and Cub Run RECenter -- birthday parties

Mt. Vernon RECenter -- ice and roller rinks

Cub Run, Oak Marr and Providence RECenters – fitness and activity centers

Rec-PAC – summer day camps

Providence RECenter – rainy day outings

60th Anniversary for Fairfax County’s Jewel of Parks

Sixtieth anniversaries have been a very big deal since Queen Victoria celebrated hers with a Diamond Jubilee in 1897 as “guns

thundered, bands played and pennants cracked in the breeze.”

This December, the Fairfax County Park Authority marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the county’s park system, and while the observance won’t match the queen’s climactic festival, it’s still a grand occasion.

“Given the financial challenges we’re all facing, ours must be a modest celebra-

tion in keeping with these difficult times,” said Bill Bouie, Chairman of the Park Au-

thority Board. “You might say that it’s more of a state of mind than a party. But it’s totally

inclusive – we’re inviting all of Fairfax County to visit their parks and see the results of a

60-year commitment to stewardship, a healthy community, whole-some recreation and a high quality of life for all the county’s residents.”

Just as with Queen Victoria’s 60th, there’s a commemora-tive coin. It’s free but the catch is, you have to find it. These are geocaching coins, stamped with the agency’s 60th birthday logo on one side and co-sponsor NoVAGO’s (Northern Vir-ginia Geocaching Organization) logo on the other. “Sixty of the coins will be hidden throughout our parks for a hunt that will connect the searchers directly with nature. We’ve selected cache sites in drop-dead gorgeous spots, adding a little extra ‘bling’ to Mother Nature’s attractions,” explained Park Services Division Director Barbara Nugent. She’s a long-time geocacher who promotes the popular outdoor pursuit as the great equalizer: inexpensive; appealing to all ages, economic levels and ethnic backgrounds; available 24-7 to everyone. “We’re hoping that families take advantage of this 60th anniversary treasure hunt to get children away from television and into math, astronomy and natural sciences. The children are enriched -- they get that connection between high technology and natural resources.”

The commemoration of Queen Victoria’s 60th anniver-sary included the planting of 60 oak trees. For this same

milestone in Fairfax County’s parks, special gardens are going in – colorful, mixed plantings of steely blue ornamental grass, narrow leaf zinnia with white and yellow flowers and lantana blooming in brilliant red. These inexpensive, easy-to-maintain and drought-resistant natives attract butterflies, produce seed for birds and are not on the favored food list of deer.

Providing visual interest from mid-May through first frost, the gardens are a unifying design that signals the

60th celebration and focuses on the Park Authority’s stewardship mission.

“We’re not introducing new events just for the 60th celebra-tion; instead, we’re adding a 60th anniversary element to estab-lished favorites,” explained Public Information Officer Judy Peder-sen. The attractions range from after-hours duck races at the Lake Fairfax Park’s Water Mine to special summer concerts at multiple park locations to Riverbend Park’s Indian Festival in September. The finale, set for Saturday, December 4, at Frying Pan Farm Park, is packed with entertainment – Children’s Holiday Shopping at the old fashioned Country Store, the park’s popular Christ-mas on the Farm event, wagon rides (and warming fires to beat any chill), equestrian demon-strations in the indoor arena, live music, food sales and more. Other sites are still working on particulars for their programs, so watch for information at your favorite park and check www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks for updates.

“Our 60th anniversary may not be a Diamond Jubilee, but parks are certainly a diamond in Fairfax County’s crown,” con-cluded Bouie. “Especially during this milestone anniversary year, we hope that people will take advantage of the sparkle that parks can add to life.”

Please Join the Celebration! The Fairfax County Park Authority turns 60 this

year, so let’s celebrate! I would say 60 is the new 30, and we’re still smokin’ hot!

We’ve got day camps, we’ve got sports camp, we’ve got robotics camps! Want Fairy Princess Ballerina camp? We’ve got it. Want Rock Band camp? Got that! Archery camp? On target! Or how ‘bout Slime Time, Gym Jam or Dinky Dinos?

We have got all that and so much more. We even have Salsa Aerobics, Zumba and Dahn Yoga! And we’ve got a whole

slew of special events coming up, including the Antique Car Show at Sully. That Car Corral sure inspires daydreams of

muscle cars and classic rides! What’s the point of this? Parks are about having

serious fun, and the Park Authority has been making fun out of nature, sports, fitness and recreation for more than six decades. Amazing when you stop to

think about it! We’re not just an award-winning parks and recreation provider; we’re a nationally accredited

agency that offers citizens opportunities to improve their health and well-being and enhance their quality of life.

The fine folks of Fairfax County have been investing in the Park Authority for 60 years, and when you flip through this issue of Parktakes you can see the dividends of that investment. There are multiple things to do every single day of the year. Not a day is wasted! And that’s a great thing because in these days of high stress and demanding schedules, we need the right things at the right times to just let go. Who’s with me on this?

And how about the great green space we’ve got going on? We hold 22,738 acres in trust, and this treasure of green, open space dotted with RECenters, historic sites, more than 400 parks, over 300 miles of trails and nature centers is there for everyone. Fairfax County’s parks are natural sanctuaries. They are also active hubs for recreation; they are sports centers, encouraging teamwork and the pursuit of individual excellence. How cool is that?

So in 2010, please take advantage of the benefits brought to you by your very own Fairfax County parks. That’s how we want you to celebrate our 60th birthday - by joining us in the parks. No gifts necessary!

Sincerely,

Director John Dargle

Rec-PAC Gives Back

Building Character with Summer Fun

At 52 school sites across Fairfax County, the Park Authority’s Rec-PAC gives kids the opportunity to play their way

through six action-packed weeks filled with indoor and outdoor games, competitive sports, fitness, arts and crafts, talent shows, adventures in nature and more.

“That last week just speeds by,” noted Rec-PAC Program Manager Mike Bonneville. “The children and the counselors are cleaning up, gathering their stuff and saying their good-byes. We had CVS (Craft and Varity Show) as the last event of the summer, but we all felt that we wanted to end with a bigger bang.”

So last year, a new closing shot was added -- Rec-PAC Gives Back. “The kids had been learning how character counts all summer,” Mike said, referring to the popular character education program that emphasizes trust-worthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship. “What better way to bring it all full circle and put the lessons to work than by doing something for others and proving that it can be fun to help? We wanted this to be hands-on experience, so we challenged the kids to come up with ideas on what they could do to make Fairfax County a better place.”

The youngsters responded with enthu-siasm. The major effort was a canned food drive that gathered 796.65 pounds of non-perishables for Western Fairfax Christian

Ministries’ food bank. The Rec-PAC camp-ers also gave back by writing cards, letters and thank-you notes to U.S. service men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan, patients at Inova Fairfax Hospital for Children and Chil-dren’s Hospital in D.C., residents of a local nursing home and Fairfax County’s police and firefight-ers. They collected items for recycling, contributions to the Park Authority’s class scholarship fund and

gently used clothing and school supplies for needy families. With provisions supplied by their parents, they made sandwiches for a nearby homeless shelter. They picked up litter in school yards and playgrounds, cleaned school rooms, pulled weeds in a school vegetable garden and planted a tree in Whitsett Memorial Garden in memory of two Bucknell Elementary students who were Rec-PAC campers for years. And inno-vative counselors made sure the good works were fun with games like Treasure Trash that had the kids searching for the prize piece of “refuse gold.”

“We saw a lot of teamwork as the kids pulled together to resolve problems,” Mike continued. “Kids with behavior issues worked cooperatively with kids they didn’t get along with earlier in the summer. They were united for a goal, and we watched lead-ers rise to the occasion.”

The trial shot was a resounding success. “The kids learned a lot, they had a great time doing good deeds and they helped improve their community,” the Rec-PAC Program Man-ager concluded.

Through giving back, the summer activity program found its big bang, and the cam-paign of good deeds is now the traditional season-ending finale for Rec-PAC’s summer of fun.

Rec-PAC runs from July 6 to August 12. Registra-tion began May 3. For more information, check www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/recpac or call 703-324-5273.

Twin Lakes Opens Golf Academy

Twin Lakes Golf Course welcomed

spring and the 2010 golf season with the launch of a new Golf Academy. The comprehensive instructional

program includes private lessons for adults and juniors, group lessons, clinics, playing lessons, video analysis and club fitting and repair. A special attraction is Get Golf Ready, a five-part series aimed at conquering the game’s intimidation factor, mastering proper fundamentals and putting students on course to play from the start.

“At Twin Lakes, we see the same outcomes as do the statisticians, who report than fewer than half of the golfers playing today regularly break 100,” noted Manager Barb Cosgrove. “Even experienced players can benefit from lessons, so we want to be able to offer that help to our regulars. And we want to reach out to youngsters and new-comers to grow the game.” So the Academy also will feature peewee golf and parent/child events that encourage mom and dad to bring the kids to the range.

Leading the new venture will be PGA pro-

fessional Ryan Carney. He began his golf ca-reer in 2000, working at the Twin Lakes pro shop while attending George Mason Univer-sity. There, he discovered a love for golf and a talent for teaching so he entered the PGA apprentice program at Augustine Golf Club. He advanced quickly through the require-ments, collecting accolades in the classroom (a scholarship based on his test scores at the PGA learning center) and on the lesson tee (2007 President’s Award for his success at advancing the game with juniors.) In 2003, he helped open Dominion Valley Country Club in Haymarket and was the lead instruc-tor for its academy. He moved on to assist with the opening of Dick’s Sporting Goods in Dale City, and his golf department there received national recognition for services and sales.

“It’s great to be back at Twin Lakes,” Ryan noted. “In the intervening decade, we’ve both grown and improved! And it’s good timing for the start of an instructional pro-gram because it’s never been easier to learn this great game, thanks to technology and modern golf training aids.”

Ryan is also the right person for the job, affirms Cosgrove. “He’s knowledgeable, per-sonable and patient. He can quickly identify where a golfer needs work, and he wastes no time getting right to the point. And most important of all, he really cares that his stu-dents improve.”

Completed in December 2009, the new Clarks Branch Bridge at Riverbend Park is a model for public/private partnership and cooperative ventures. Supported by the National Park Service, the Great Falls Trailblazers, the Park Authority’s

volunteer archaeologists and the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, the three-year project surmounted on-site challenges to clear the way for construction without clearing out natural resources in the process.

Gone are the rickety wooden steps and wooden bridge just at water level that served as a fair weather crossing -- instead, there’s a graceful arch of wood and steel, easily and safely accessible to everyone, whether on horseback or on foot.

The opening act of partnership, funded jointly by the Park Authority and the Na-tional Park Service, was the hydrology and feasibility study, which also selected the location for the new bridge. Then the Great Falls Trail Blazers helped build the politi-cal will to fund the $500,000 project.

First challenge: The general area proved to be an archaeology site. So field research was needed to determine the best spot for the bridge, and then the sensitive loca-tion for the bridge abutment had to be excavated before construction could began. Again, the Park Service stepped up to partner, providing money for the archeological studies while the Virginia Department of Historic Resources helped clear bureau-cratic hurdles to keep everything on a fast track. A contingent of the Park Authority’s archaeology volunteers, some 40 strong, joined the dig, saving upwards of $195,000 in the cost of salvaging the archaeological deposits.

With the fast look into the past completed, construction was ready to start.Second challenge: The bridge site was on a gravel path in the middle of dense tulip

poplars, a mile from the nearest road. The Park Authority’s Forestry crew readied the path for construction traffic but they couldn’t do anything to ease the squeeze. The path was 12 feet wide; the giant crane needed to lift the bridge components into place had a clearance of 11 feet, four inches – just eight inches to spare. “And we couldn’t scratch the trees,” noted project manager Liz Cronauer. “The contractor did a great job. The tough and resourceful crew took to heart their mandate to protect the trees and the archaeological resources even as they were maneuvering large con-struction equipment into impossibly tight places.” At 90 feet long and six feet wide, the bridge came in two pieces – an added challenge because it required a structure built in the center of the creek to connect the two halves. But despite all the hauling, digging and concrete pouring, the dense forest that comes almost to water’s edge on both sides of Clarks Branch looks untouched.

“The planning and implementation of the project ran into many, many, many twists and turns,” noted Riverbend Park Manager Marty Smith. “It was extremely tricky because of the hydrology, the archaeology, the bridge design and getting it into place without damaging the sensitive floodplain environment. As project manager, Liz never flinched in coming up with great solutions. She was masterful.”

Volunteer opportunities are as varied as the parks.

Find out how you can get involved -- visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/volunteers.htm

Larry Plotkin When Larry Plotkin retired from the U.S.

Information Agency in 2000, he spent the first four months of work-week freedom as a couch potato, catching up on his reading. “It was great! I could get past five pages without falling asleep,” he recalled. But he needed to be on the move, so he headed for Providence RECenter’s fitness room and an introduction to Fitlinxx. There, he discovered that volunteering earned him free use of the pool and fitness facilities, and in no time, he was volunteering in the weight room. When he learned that help was needed at Park Authority headquarters to pro-mote the free summer concerts in the parks, he saw a perfect fit, given his background in USIA’s public affairs. In the eight years since, Larry has volunteered one day a week, writing press releases for some 170 performances a season, assisting with fund raising for PACT (Parks and Community Together, which provides summer day camp scholarships for children from the county’s homeless shelters), setting up spread sheets and taking care of other administra-tive duties. With undergraduate and graduate degrees in English literature and five years of teaching at the university level, Larry also volunteers at the Folger Shakespeare Library, where he is Senior Docent and runs the docent training program.

The benefits of volunteering? It gets me out of the house and gives me something worthwhile to do with my time.

Favorite part of your work for parks? I get a great deal of satisfaction from fund raising success

for PACT. I know we are helping children.

The value of parks to you personally? I use parks primarily for fitness. Providence RECenter has everything I need to stay fit. If I wasn’t work-ing out there, it would be very easy for me to weigh 30 or 40 pounds more. And we enjoy the summer concerts.

What would you say to convince others to donate their time to parks? The diversity of volunteer possibilities is impressive. You can sit at a desk, or you can get into the swimming pool to help a child with a disability learn to swim, or you can choose from all kinds of opportunities in between – in gardens, on golf courses, down on the farm, at historic sites, along a trail. You don’t have to make a sacrifice – you can please yourself and do good for others at the same time.

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

Our aquatic program offers options for all abilitiesThe Fairfax County Park Authority’s aquatic facili-ties offer something for everyone. From infants to senior citizens to people with special needs, we serve all levels of swimming ability and the spectrum of aquatic interests.

Top athletes hit the water at RECenter poolsPotomac Valley Swimming competitions are sched-uled 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.PVSLC/AgeGroup Lee June13,27

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 learn-ing aquatic skills, dependent on a number of factors including class attendance, coordination, water fa-miliarity 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 re-peating a level does not constitute failure. Mastering skills takes time, practice and patience.

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

Practice Healthy Swimming HabitsFor 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 bath-room 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.

American red cross classes for Babies and preschoolers

Parents are responsible for ensuring that their chil-dren 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 grown-up, 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 man-ner, feel comfortable in the water, explore submerg-ing to the mouth, nose, eyes and completely. Explore buoyancy on front and back, change body position and learn safety information. Two adults may partici-pate in this class with each child.

Park Profile . . .

Jackie HochbergJackie Hockberg knows the Park Authority’s day camps inside and out. A native Northern Virgin-ian, she played her way through summer at Spring Hill RECenter’s Fun Camp, then came back as a Kiddie Camp counselor four years ago. She moved up to Kiddie Camp director in 2008 and Summer R.O.C.S Camp director in 2009. A graduate of Langley High School, where she was captain of the swim and crew teams, Jackie was recruited for crew by the University of Tulsa and earned a bach-elor’s degree in general education there. She’s now an instructional assistant at Spring Hill Elementary (where she went to school as a child), working with special education students in kindergarten through sixth grade. This summer, she returns to Spring Hill RECenter as camp director.

Kids’ favorite camp activity? Swimming. Crafts, too. Kids like being creative. Last summer, a favorite theme was the Wild West, and they made log cab-ins, Conestoga wagons and frontier people. For our Passport to the Past theme, they did dream catch-ers and learned the history of this Native American art form. And across the board, everyone loves to play kick ball and capture the flag. But I think the mid-day dance parties in the RECenter’s air con-ditioned dance room were tops. Even the boys get into it, going step by step through Thriller.

What puts the fun in camp? The variety of activities and the mix of quiet and active play.

The key to maintaining order? We rely on positive reinforcement and giving kids attention for doing the right things. All the Park Authority’s day camps incorporate “Character Counts” in their programs, emphasizing the six pillars of character - trustwor-thiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship. Every time we catch the kids doing

something right, they get a “character” leaf with their name on it hung on the camp tree.

The source of your job satisfaction? Working with kids. I really love children. I started young, babysit-ting for a family with five kids when I was just 11. With all that sibling rivalry, I learned a lot about mediating conflicts! And I gained so much from the county’s schools and parks. Between attending days camps and working at day camps, competing on the FISH swim team and then coaching, a lot of my life has been here at the RECenter - now I want to give back.

Your goal for Summer R.O.C.S. Camp? I want kids to have the safest and most fun summer possible.

Starlight Cinema’s home is the Trinity Center on Rt. 29 and Interstate 66 at Centreville. Gates open at 6pm, admission is free and the feature films are appro-priate for family audiences. Coolers, blankets and lawn chairs are permitted so you can bring a picnic supper and leave your car to sit under the stars. Parking spaces in front of the screens are reserved for outside seating; compact cars get the front rows, and SUVs and vans must park in the rear spaces. Since the soundtrack is transmitted over FM frequencies, we suggest you bring a radio for listening out-doors or in case you have to park in the overflow lot across the street.Location: 5860 Trinity Parkway, Centreville,VA 20120. Directions: From the Capital Beltway take Exit 49 West (I-66 west) to Exit 53A south (Sully Road,VA-28,south) towards Centreville to merge onto Lee Highway (Rt.29 South) to right onto Trinity Parkway into the parking lot in front of the Trinity Office Building.

What they don’t know is that they are not just dealing with any old fox – it’s Fantastic Mr. Fox and he has a fantastic master plan to save the day!

Saturday, August 21 “NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM: BATTLE OF THE SMITHSONIAN” When the Museum of Natural History is closed for upgrades and renovations, the museum pieces are moved into federal storage at the famous Washington Museums.

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.

Pump up the volume on getting fit in combination classes that mix maximum impact cardio workouts with high-yield resistance training.




Salsa AerobicsA unique program of high/low impact exercise based on Latin and Caribbean rhythms. Strengthen, shape, tone and stretch while you learn popular Latin dances such as salsa, merengue, cumbia, cha-cha, rumba and samba.

Multiple tees with varying distances as low as 5,000 yards ensure playability for all levels while meticulously groomed bent grass fairways promise high quality playing conditions.

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

With the addition of multiple tees in the 2003-04 season, the Lakes Course now provides golfers of all skill levels the opportunity for exciting rounds. The Lakes Course requires more distance off the tee but is much more forgiving, with only two of its 18 holes tree-lined on both sides of the fairway.The clubhouse features a golf shop offering a wide selection of clothing, clubs and accessories.

Park Profile . . .

Matt McNeal In elementary and high school, Matt McNeal bounced back and forth between Denver and Northern Virginia as his father changed assignments with the U.S. Geological Service. A biology major in college, Matt worked at Hewlitt Packard and in information technology with a bio-pharmaceutical company until he decided that he didn’t want to spend “nine to five” in a cubicle. He joined the Park Authority in 2005 as a seasonal maintenance worker at Riverbend Park. A life-long boater who was paddling his first canoe as a three-year-old, Matt was soon leading kayak tours and fishing programs. Then in 2007, he was promoted to a full-time maintenance position at Sully Historic Site. With training in historic preservation to complement his construction experience, Matt took on the light carpentry and routine maintenance of the Federal period house. He also re-grades roads, maintains trails, handles the upkeep of the sprinkler system, deals with leaks, splits wood, tends the flower gardens, sets the fires for the kitchen and representative slave quarter, empties trashcans, monitors mousetraps, chases groundhogs from underneath the decks and does scores of other tasks to maintain a grand old house that’s seen over 200 years of living. Off work, Matt is completing general studies at Northern Virginia Community College and a civil engineering degree at George Mason University as he pursues his ambition to build bridges.

Why is it important to be historically accurate with repairs to Sully? We don’t want to disrupt the historic fabric of the house. People are always asking about the sprinkler system, wanting to know ‘What are those things in the ceiling?’ We want to minimize the distractions from modern intrusions like that.

Key things you’ve learned about historic renovation? It’s exacting and very specific. Things are done differently, depending on the time period. And it’s very costly - incredibly expensive!

Visitors are most impressed by . . . ? Discovering Sully in the first place. A lot of our visitors didn’t know anything about the historic site. They appreciate its importance as the home of Northern Virginia’s first congressman.

Fascinating fact from Sully’s past? The Lees were unusual because they wrote so much about their slaves. Not only in the farm records but in their letters. We know their names - Madam Juba, the laundress, and Sam, the blacksmith - and something about their lives as a result.

Job satisfaction? I like maintaining a house that’s been around for 220 years and playing a part in making _sure it’s still standing another 100 years from now. I take pride in having the place look nice.

Donor Profile . . .

Claude Moore Charitable FoundationThe Claude Moore Charitable Foundation is the legacy of a man who practiced both medicine and hard work. Claude Moore came from a modest background - for a time his family’s home was a railroad boxcar. At the University of Virginia, he managed medical school, varsity football and student teaching, simultaneously and with distinction. After service in World War I and a job at the Mayo Clinic, he founded the radiology department at George Washington University. In his 50s, he left medicine, retired to Loudoun County, invested in real estate and established a foundation. Initially, the Foundation focused on capital projects, funding three medical buildings at UVA’s Charlottesville campus, a culinary arts school in Roanoke (also the Shenandoah Valley’s first green building), a residency building at INOVA Hospital and an educational classroom at the Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum. Today, the primary beneficiaries are the Claude Moore Health Care Education Program, which provides virtual instruction to help high school students graduate with credits and experience in medical technician fields, and Military to Medicine, another virtual instruction program for wounded warriors, their spouses and veterans interested in careers as medical technicians. The Claude Moore Charitable Foundation has given $10,000 for the past two years to the Park Authority’s PACT, which provides summer camp scholarships for children from the county’s homeless shelters. Previously, the Foundation committed $77,500 to help build the four-acre accessible playground at Clemyjontri Park and $40,000 to the Fairfax County Park Foundation.

Focus of the Foundation’s philanthropy? Dr. Moore wanted to advance education and help young people who were trying to help themselves, so those are our goals for giving. He established the Foundation in 1987, four years before he died, and he told the trustees, “I want to do something for young people and education - you guys figure it out!”

Your role? As Deputy Executive Director of Giving, I review the good things that people are trying to do to improve life and look for opportunities in line with our mission where the Foundation’s help can make a difference. For me, it’s a chance to give back to my community. That was my mother’s wish

for all of her children, so it’s especially wonderful that I get to work hand-in-hand with my daughter, Director of Finance who tracks expenditures.

Why parks? Dr. Moore was interested in land and preservation. He provided the matching grant that led to the creation of Claude Moore Colonial Farm at Turkey Run, the only privately operated park in the national park system. From the very beginning, he cared about parks. And PACT (Parks and Community Together) is an educational program that supports kids. It was the right match.

What do parks mean to Fairfax County? Quality of life. They add green space, environmental benefits and beauty. Parks offer activities that are healthy and fun. They’re affordable, accessible and open to everyone. Parks are places that create and strengthen a sense of community.

Philanthropy’s place in parks? Government can’t do it all. The good thing about philanthropic organizations is that we can see something worthwhile and try it. We can take a risk to find solutions.

Off-Leash Dogs Welcome in Special Dog ParksThe 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 sponsor-ing 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/park-rules/dogpark.htm and for additional information, call 703-324-8594.

Park Profile . . .

Bill KochBill Koch says he was “born with trains on the brain.” His mom worked for the New Haven Rail-road from 1917 to 1931, and he grew up hearing stories about the allure and magic of steel rails and big locomotives. After graduating from the University of Connecticut as an electrical engineer-ing, he joined Melpar, then the Washington area’s preeminent technological company. In 1957 came the mid-air collision over the Grand Canyon, the disaster that prompted the creation of the Federal Aviation Administration. Bill was one of the new agency’s first hires, and he worked at the FAA for 36 years. With the family’s move to Northern Virginia in 1979, he discovered the train at Burke Lake Park, and he was all aboard with the inten-tion to volunteer as the engineer when he retired -- the logical choice for someone with a backyard model railroad big enough for rides. For the past 15 years, Bill has alternated between volunteer and part-time paid engineer, the ad hoc manager of the park’s train and carousel. He’s recruited fellow volunteers from the Vienna Model Railroad Club and supervised the rebuilding of the train track and restoration of the locomotive. Every sum-mer, he buys a two-week rail pass for a European country and spends all day and all night riding the rails; he’s watched Austria, Switzerland, German, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia slide by his window. In addition to touring by rail and tinkering with his model railroad, Bill dons a railroad cap and climbs aboard on weekends to satisfy his passion for trains as the engineer at Burke Lake Park.

Attraction of trains? People like the feeling of riding on a train - it’s like being in a cocoon. They can see such great scenery. It’s an adventure.

Competition from today’s thrill rides? It’s a train - a part of our culture. And Burke Lake Park is the only opportunity that many kids will have to ride

a train. So there’s no competition. Our train will always be popular. We had 4,400 passengers in two days for our Halloween train - we were hustling!

Your goal? To run the train realistically and safely and give our passengers a good ride. I even use the official whistle signals.

Favorite part of being the engineer on the Burke Lake train? I love the people. The park has college and high school kids working in seasonal jobs for the summer. They keep you alive with their talk about dates, proms and other things we’ve forgotten about. As for the passengers, they’re here to have fun, so they’re always delightful.

Best thing about Burke Lake Park? The train, of course! No, it’s a wonderful place. The whole atmosphere is great. There’s so much to do - golf, disc golf, mini-golf, boating, fishing, hiking, picnicking. And it’s big - you can spread out and be alone with nature.
