Giving Thanks for Great Parks and a Great Community

As the holiday season approach-es, I am so thankful to have grown up in a community that

values its parks, recreational and lei-sure opportunities. Parks are crucial to our sense of well-being. They often become our favorite places and hold special meaning as tranquil retreats for reflection, family fun,

exercise and other recreational and leisure activities. Fair-fax County is fortunate to have a treasure trove of RECenters, golf courses, nature centers, historic sites, accessible parks, trails and lake and riverfront parks, making the Fairfax County Park Authority one of the most comprehensive park systems in the nation.

Aside from maintaining our existing facilities, the Park Authority has achieved a great deal in terms of major accomplishments over the past year. As I came on board as director, the wetlands at Huntley Meadows Park in Alexandria had just been restored to bring back locally rare wildlife. In addition to the obvious environmental benefits, the restoration gives nature lovers a chance to see species that haven’t lived in the park for decades, and it was exciting for me to see the park in its fully-restored beauty.

Thanks to tremendous community support, Colvin Run Mill in Great Falls is under-going restoration. When it is completed, this modern marvel of yesterday will be able to operate just as it did when it opened in 1811, and school groups, history buffs and others will be able to learn from one of the finest examples of simple machinery in the world.

The renovation and improvement projects at Oak Marr RECenter in Oakton and Spring Hill RECenter in McLean are simply spectacular. Expanded fitness rooms with state-of-the art training equipment, additional classroom space and family changing rooms are among the many new amenities at both RECenters. To meet the needs of their respective communities, Oak Marr also offers child-sitting services for patrons while they exercise or take a class, and Spring Hill’s long-awaited new gym with its suspended walking track is expected to be open to the public by the end of 2014, just in time to provide additional indoor recreational opportunities during the cold winter months.

Much of our recent accomplishments have been the result of community collab-oration, generous community support, corporate and non-profit partnerships and an extraordinary service from a large cadre of volunteers. As we look toward the future, we will continue to seek creative ways to ensure our parks continue to meet the needs of our growing and diverse community for generations to come.

After a year-long construction and renovation project, the newly expanded Oak Marr

RECenter is open once again and getting rave reviews from customers. The new, two-story fitness center features all new exercise equipment, lots of natural light and access to the Fitlinxx virtual tracking system, which helps you monitor your progress over time. “It was worth the wait,” said returning customer Pat Tessier of Oakton on the RECenter’s opening day. “It is beautiful!”

Karen Brouch-Brioso of Fairfax was also impressed with Oak Marr’s new features. “It’s great. The exercise machines are really nice, and the fitness room is much more open with lots of natural light. That [the windows] gives you a pleasant view while you are working out.”

Oak Marr is where Katie and Chris Clover of Vienna take their child for swimming lessons. After seeing the expanded fitness room along with Oak Marr’s new baby sitting center, they decided to consider becoming RECenter members. “It’s pretty awesome,” said Katie. Chris agreed. “There’s a lot of new equip-ment, and it looks like there’s no lack of an open machine.”

In addition to the expanded fitness center and supervised babysitting area, Oak Marr’s new amenities include treadmills with personal television viewing screens; a hardwood fitness studio for classes, including ballet-inspired barre; a dedicated stretching area; three new multipurpose rooms for fitness classes and other activities; a new spin studio with a projector and pull-down screen; and a vibrant new lobby and sitting room with wireless Internet access to further enhance the customer experience.

Oak Marr has undergone several transformations since opening in 1988. The latest is the most comprehensive upgrade to date. It was funded by the 2012 park bond.

Q U I C K T A K E S

If you’re looking for motivation to shape up and get fit in the New Year, you may find inspiration in the story of Roger

Russell, Roger Williams, Jimmy Dickson and Steve Mason. The four men recently found their fitness motivation in a memo-ry – a 51-year-old memory – of the time the intrepid foursome committed themselves to three-a-day workouts and Saturday swim meets and propelled their way into North-ern Virginia swimming history.

“We were like a little perfect storm,” Mason recalled. “We had the best team and the best coach.”

As members of the Vienna Woods Swim Club, they set multiple individual and team records in the mid-1960s. All of their re-cords have since been broken, except one: the 1963 record time for the 11- and 12-year-old boys’ 100-yard medley relay.

“To learn that record still stands was a shock,” said Russell. Dickson remembers being equally surprised the day they set

the record. “Our [100] meter record was 1:07 and so our time for 100 yards should have been around 61 seconds,” he recalled. “We had no clue that we set a record until the referees and timers huddled up and compared stop watches,” Mason

said. “We finished in 58.4 seconds. We were elated.”

By the time high school rolled around, the four drifted away on their individual

journeys. Some opted to play other sports. Williams excelled in swim-ming at San Jose’ State University competing alongside another cham-pion destined to set his own gold-medal

record at the 1972 Olympic Games: Mark Spitz. Eventually, Williams found his calling in business. Dick-son became a lawyer. Russell’s pro-fession was engineering, and Mason became a general contractor. Decades passed. Then, a 2012 swim club re-union brought three of the four togeth-er again. While reminiscing about “the summer of pain,” Dickson came up with

an idea: find the missing man, Roger Rus-sell, start training, and re-enact that golden moment from 1963 by racing the clock at Oak Marr RECenter. The goal: to see how close they could come to finishing the 100-yard medley relay in their still-standing record time.

“My first reaction was, ‘Well, that’s just Jimmy,’” said Williams with a laugh, “but you never lose that competitive spirit, and we had such camaraderie back then.”

Training BeginsAn Internet search located Russell in Cen-

treville. Mason gave him a call, and soon, all four men, most of them grandfathers, were committed and motivated to train for the reunion race and recreate that golden moment from their childhood. They com-municated by e-mail challenging each other with reports of their individual workouts.

“Jimmy Dickson and Roger Williams were egging everyone on,” Mason said.

Roger Russell joined Oak Marr RECenter and started his workout regimen there. “When you haven’t done it for 40 years, it’s a real challenge,” he said while recalling his first day of training several months ago. “I barely made it to work the next morning!”

1963 Record-Setting Swim Team Shapes Up for Old Times’ Sake

Even Williams, who today plays competitive water polo, admits that time takes its toll. “I’m trying to stay in as good a shape as possible, but age is definitely an equalizer.”

The Reunion The reunion race day came in September

2014 when the team members assembled poolside at Oak Marr RECenter. It was the first time all four had been together since 1967, but the half a century of distance had no chance against the memories.

“When you grow up in team sports, you go through so much together that you get a strong bond,” Williams said. “Even though you haven’t seen each other in a long time, you still have that tight bond regardless of the number of years that have gone by.”

They wore matching team shirts proudly displaying the first-place ribbons they won in the record-breaking 1963 race. As the “visiting” team, Dickson felt compelled to dump water from their home pool, Vien-na Woods Swim Club, into the host pool, a team tradition. “This gives us an edge,” he said jokingly as his teammates grinned. He also held up four Kool Aid packets and reminisced about the things they used to consume to enhance their swimming per-

formance. “When we were kids, we drank Kool Aid and ate honey and sugar cubes. We thought that gave us a boost, legally!” His teammates broke up laughing.

Then, it was time for one last tradition before the race – the team’s good-luck cheer. They used to swim out to the center of the pool to do it. This time, they opted to conserve their energy for the race and do it at the pool’s edge.

The RaceThe moment of truth came just after

2:30 p.m. Three timers set their stopwatch-es, and Russell assumed his position to start the relay. “I just have to not drown,” he told himself as he propelled backward to swim the first leg of the race, backstroke. Williams was waiting at the other end with his own nervous thoughts about his breast stroke. “I just want to get off the wall without false starting, and Russell better touch [the wall] right or I’m going to beat him up!” Fear can often be a powerful motivator, and Dickson, the butterfly swim-mer, saw a much bigger force in Williams swimming toward him this time around than he did when he was just a boy. “This guy is 6’4” and I’ve got to dive over him?” he ques-tioned. “I might not make it! There’s no spring in these legs anymore!”

He cleared the dive with room to spare. Mason, who strikes an amazing resem-blance to Santa Claus, finished the freestyle leg of the race with the hopeful enthusiasm of a child. “I know one thing for sure. We are going to set a record today; the 100-yard medley record for 63- and 64-year-old men.” Friends and family including children and grandchildren cheered as the men swam. In the end, the teammates didn’t match their childhood record, but they finished with the respectable time of 1:10.04 – just 12 seconds off the 1963 record. That was good enough to fulfill Dickson’s lifelong motto: “Don’t embarrass your momma and daddy or your amigos.”

The FutureThe reunion race may be over, but it’s

hardly the end of the line for these deter-mined swimmers. They’re already push-ing for another challenge, next summer, when they hope to race the current Vienna Woods Swim Club 11- and 12-year-old boys’ medley relay team. “Yeah, Roger Williams will be at the top of his age group then,” Dickson exclaimed with a hearty laugh. “If nothing else,” Williams countered, “it shows our grandkids the importance of having fun and keeping in shape.”

Fairfax County RECenters offer fitness options for children, adults and seniors, and member-ships go on sale January 1. To learn more, call or stop by the RECenter nearest you. See page 10 of Parktakes for locations and contact information.

Q U I C K T A K E S

Work crews at Spring Hill RECenter are in the homestretch of a massive renovation and expansion project that is already getting rave

reviews from patrons and staff. The new fitness cen-ter is nearly four times the size of the old one, and fea-tures a new line of Cybex weight training machines. The 3,000-square-foot group exercise area includes a custom-built TRX suspension system, plenty of space for additional fitness classes and events and lots of windows.

“The new view is pretty awesome,” said martial arts instructor Doug Moffet. “There’s lots of natural light.”

One of the most eagerly awaited amenities is Spring Hill’s new high school regulation-sized gym with its elevated, three-lane track for walkers and runners who want an indoor fitness option. One lap around the track equals 1/12 of a mile. In addition to public track time, patrons can look forward to new group

fitness options on the track when it opens later this winter.“I am planning specific walking programs for active, older adults, as well as collaborating with our nationally

certified running coach to create new, sport-specific training for run/walk events in the community,” said Kristen Pierce, a fitness instructor at Spring Hill. The new track will also be incorporated into interval, boot camp and circuit

training classes.Renovated locker rooms with private shower stalls, five family changing rooms, and a remodeled administrative area

opened earlier this fall along with the pool and fitness rooms. Patrons say the new, airy facility enhances the sense of community they have always felt as members of Spring Hill RECenter.

“You meet people that live where you live,” said member Carla Tucker. “You find out about the new restaurants, best doctors, latest Tysons news, people’s vacation spots. It’s a wonderfully managed facility. It’s just a wonderful place.”

The Spring Hill RECenter project was funded by the 2008 and 2012 park bond. The new fitness center and gym are expected to open in mid-December.

Colvin Run Mill Restoration Nears Completion

For the first time since Warren G. Harding was President, two stones are working at Colvin Run Mill, which will enable the mill to grind two different grains at the same time when it is fully restored early

next year. The mill is quickly being restored to its 1811 glory thanks in part to a $75,000 grant it received by popular vote one year ago.

“One of the conditions of the grant was to move forward quickly or give the money back,” said Colvin Run Mill manager Mike Henry. “If it hadn’t been for the support of the Park Foundation and the community with this campaign, this project would still be on the drawing board.”

The mill finished fourth in a field of 24 regional historic sites vying for grants through the online Partners in Preservation voting contest sponsored by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and American Express. The grant is being used to restore the mill’s grain elevator and the rest of the renovation is being funded through bond money.

“Back in 1811, this was the modern marvel, and people would come from miles around to watch this thing work,” Henry said. “Now, more than 200 years later, people come from miles around to watch this thing work, and soon, we’ll be able to fully demonstrate how it worked back in 1811.”

Once the restoration is complete, Colvin Run Mill will be one of only a handful of fully operational gristmills of its kind in the world.

The grand opening for the fully restored Colvin Run Mill is expected to take place in spring 2015.

Follow guidelines when registering Students registering in group lessons must be able to function well in a group setting, follow instruc-tions of the instructor, wait for their turn and conduct themselves in a safe manner. If it has been a month or longer since the student has partici-pated in a swimming lesson, we suggest repeating the previous course completed. If you have any questions about which class is right for you or your child, please contact the aquatic staff at your favorite RECenter. 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 either issue a refund or place them, when possible, in a class that better matches their ability level.

Doing More with Specialists:In order to provide the most comprehen-sive aquatic programs, the Park Authority rents pool space at RECenters to a variety of service groups including:

U.S.A. Swimming TeamsU.S. Masters Swim TeamsU.S. Springboard Diving TeamsU.S. Synchronized Swimming TeamScuba Diving Schools/ShopsUnderwater Hockey

For a listing of these organizations, in-cluding their telephone number and web address, visit the Park Authority website: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/rec/wp-aqua-teaminfo.htm

Practice Healthy Swimming HabitsAccidents in the pool involving vomit or fecal matter require the pool being closed to clean and sanitize the water. Under Health Depart-ment standards recommended by the U.S. 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 swim-ming.

• Be sure to use the bathroom before gettinginto the pool, go on frequent bathroombreaks. For public health reasons, stan-dard diapers cannot be worn in the pool.Children who are not yet toilet trained mustwear snug fitting plastic pants and/or a swimdiaper under their bathing suit. Waist andlegs on plastic pants or swim diapers mustbe snug enough to contain matter that couldcontaminate the pool. Please check diapersoften, and change them in the locker roomnot on the pool deck.

• Adults who have continence issues shouldrefrain from using the pool.

• Shower before entering the pool and afterusing the toilet.

• Avoid swallowing pool water or even gettingit in your mouth.

water familiarity and outside practice. Students often repeat a level several times before developing the endurance and skill proficiency necessary for advancement. Repeating a level does not constitute failure, it is to be expected. Mastering skills takes time, practice and patience.

Combining course levelsWhen enrollment is low, course levels may be com-bined to avoid class cancelations.

Park Authority




P E R F O R M I N G A R T S • P E T P L A C E

Pet PlaceOur dog obedience classes help build a strong relationship between pet and handler by developing understanding and communication. Flexible train-ing 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 stu-dent 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-OneLake Accotink Park offers individualized dog train-ing lessons taught by a longtime FCPA dog obedi-ence instructor. Sessions are customized to your dog’s behavioral development level and tailored to your schedule. Includes a pre-session phone consul-tation with the instructor to determine your goals and to set a date and time for your first session. An excellent option for busy people who need more flexibility than weekly lessons can provide.

Off-Leash Dogs Welcome in Special Dog Parks

Owners of well-mannered canines can take their pets to fenced, off-leash dog parks for free play, a good run or a friendly romp with other dogs.FCPA has eight established dog parks:

• Blake Lane, 10033 Blake Ln., Oakton • Baron Cameron, 11300 Baron Cameron Ave.,

Reston• South Run, 7550 Reservation Dr., Springfield • Mason District, 6621 Columbia Pk., Annandale. • Chandon, 900 Palmer Dr., Herndon• Rock Hill District Park (Quinn Farm), 15150

Old Lee Rd., Centreville.• Grist Mill, 4710 Mt. Vernon Memorial Hwy.,

Alexandria• Westgrove, 6801 Fort Hunt Rd., Alexandria

All Park Authority dog parks are public/private part-nerships, 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 year round from sunup to sundown. Off-leash dog park users 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 off-leash dog park rules and regulations, visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/parkrules/dogpark.htm, or call 703-324-8594.

Donor Profile . . . John Osborn Sandy Spring Bank

You’ll find no greater fan of Fairfax County parks than John Osborn. His appreciation dates back to his days as a Robin-son High School student and the times he spent playing golf

with friends at Burke Lake Golf Course. These days, the Sandy Spring Bank senior vice president still appreciates the game and many other things parks have to offer. “I like to take a walk in the woods, although I usually have a club in my hands,” he said jokingly, implying that his time in the woods is spent along the golf course looking for his errantly hit golf balls. The fact is, he, his family and his employer devote a lot of time and resources to the Fairfax County park system.“What we have in Fairfax County parks is astounding,” he said. “Our golf courses are well maintained, our parks are in pristine shape and the amount of history in every park is fantastic!”Over the past several years, both Osborn and Sandy Spring Bank have made generous donations to several park programs through the Fairfax County Park Foundation. “It’s part of our bank culture to give back to the community with a commitment to making the commu-nity a better place to live, work, raise a family and run a business,” Osborn said.

Their contributions helped create Chessie’s Big Backyard, a playground for children with and without disabilities at Lee District Park. They also supported the Combo Classic, a golf tour-

nament at Twin Lakes Golf Course that teams up players with and without disabilities; the USGA Amateur Public Links Championship at Laurel Hill Club and the Take

12 Steps for Better Health program. Osborn also devotes a great deal of his personal time serving on the Fairfax County Park Foundation board. As a

relatively new board member, Osborn says with each meeting he learns something new about Fairfax County’s vast park system as well

as its future. “There isn’t that much available land in Fairfax County anymore, and the county is building up instead of out,

which means parks are going to be even more important in the future.”

Whether he’s on the board or not, Osborn says he’s committed to supporting parks throughout his

lifetime. “It’s about being a good citizen, and creating a safe place for kids to play and pro-moting a positive lifestyle for everyone,” he said. “Parks make communities stronger, and that benefits everyone.”
