Happy 50th Birthday to the Greenbriar Flyerby Barbara Levermann

To commemorate our community’s 50th anniversary, the Flyer is publishing excerpts from the Greenbriar Civic Association’s 2006 publication of The Way It Was, A History of the Greenbriar Community over the next year or so. The Greenbriar Historical Committee — comprised of Emerson and Barbara Cale, Hank Mielo, Lois Price, Herb Regensburger, Marvin Rhodes, Bill Ridenhour, Chuck and Joyce Skidmore, Hal and JoAnn Strickland, and Edwyna Wingo — took on the task of compiling documents, memories and photographs to preserve the history of our Greenbriar community. The book is available for purchase from the GCA at $20. We published chapter 2 about “The Greenbriar Pioneers” in last month’s issue. This month, we are covering the section about the history of the Greenbriar Flyer in chapter 4. Our community newspaper started back in the summer of 1967 with a handful of volunteers. As you will see below, the volunteers did everything by hand. Today, 16 residents volunteer their time each month to produce the Flyer, which is mailed to 3,646 area residences and businesses, and virtually all the work is done via computer and email. Most of our volunteers have served the community by volunteering for the Flyer for many, many years. Barbara Burdette, currently responsible for internal circulation and quality control, started volunteering 46 years ago! When she first started, she was learning the paste-up process. Barbara says the production process would take the volunteers a full week to complete each month. Later on, she took on the responsibility of delivering the paste-up to a printer in Arlington each month. After printing, she would drive back to Arlington to pick up 28 bags of the newspaper and then deliver them to the post office for mailing. Charlotte Simson has been writing the bi-monthly “In the Greenbriar Garden” columns since 1996, and Norma Pace has been writing the monthly “Norma’s Nook” column since June 2002. Lee Conley began volunteering as a typist for the Flyer in September 1994, shortly after moving to Greenbriar. She took over as editor-in-chief in February 2007. Lee also fills other roles, such as operations manager, layout editor and ad manager. We are always looking for volunteers to provide articles for the Flyer, especially regarding school and sports events. However, if you have a desire to write any type article that you feel would be of interest to the community, please contact the Greenbriar Flyer at [email protected]. We hope you enjoy reading the Flyer each month. And remember, you can view it in full color and read archived issues on the GCA Web site at www.egreenbriar.org.

Concert in the Park — The Wild Bunch “Country Rock” Band

by Sandy Williams

What a truly awesome performance by The Wild Bunch on Saturday, July 8, in Greenbriar Commons Park! The band members were Don Bruce, lead guitar and vocals; Tim Wayne, bass guitar and vocals; Jane Chua, vocals; Kim Martin, drums; and Keither Grimes, rhythm guitar and vocals.

After such unpredictable rainy weather, it turned out to be a perfect evening to get lost in the wonderful world of music, leaving all cares behind. The crowd enjoyed snacks, ice cream and a variety of soft drinks and water throughout the evening. We ate, drank and were merry as concertgoers danced on the green. What energy and positive spirit the band created that kept the crowd moving in tune with the rhythms of Fast as You; I Like it, I Love It; Rocky Top; Sold; Friends in Low Places; Dancing Queen; Fernando; Sway; When I Say Nothing at All; Redneck Woman Boot Scootin’ Boogie; You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling; Sugar Pie Honey Bunch; My Girl; Listen to the Music; Proud Mary; Unchained Melody; I Saw Her Standing There: Crazy; Sweet Home Alabama; Old Time Rock and Roll; I Feel Good; and God Bless the USA.

The GCA thanks Kamlesh Kumar and Viday Sharma for providing the electrical current from their home to the sound system. Thank you Larry Kelly for installing your electric cables for use of the band and for installing the American flag. Thanks and much appreciation to the Greenbriar Pool for providing space for the ice cream in their freezer and for use of their parking lot and facilities. A special thanks to Laura Desenna and Kailey Carr for assisting my husband, Don, with filling the ice chests. Many thanks to Brian Nardini for his help in handing out the ice cream and for helping with the cleanup. And many thanks to Don for helping with the cleanup and for transporting the chairs, coolers and supplies to and from the park.

Thanks to the community for the great turn out! The band members were very impressed and appreciative of the enthusiastic crowd. They loved us, and we loved them!

Until next time, have a great summer.See photos on page 16.

Remembering Tom Hooverby Hannah Hoover

Long-time Greenbriar resident Tom Hoover passed away peacefully on Sunday, June 25, 2017, at Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, West Virginia, with his wife, Hannah, and their two children, Kandice and Brandon, by his side.

Tom Hoover was a contractor who began beautifying Greenbriar in 1980, installing roofing, siding and windows to the array of homes in our neighborhood. Tom had a passion for working hard and believed in a job well done. He wasn’t just any contractor; he was your neighbor, friend or helping hand. He loved meeting and working with his customers over the years and, once you met him, you were more than a customer, you were a friend for life. He would often get calls from his elderly customers asking for help — whether it was to move furniture or shop at Giant, he was there with a smile on his face. Our neighbor would tease Tom and say he was running for mayor of Greenbriar because he had a campaign sign (job sign) in every yard. Tom also kept the storm-chasers from taking advantage of the neighborhood and, even if you didn’t use his services, he was glad to give advice to someone having issues with another contractor.

You would see him driving through the neighborhood daily in his black Ford, beeping his horn and waving, a permanent fixture of our Greenbriar streets. I can hear that diesel motor humming now as I write these last few words about a man whose legacy is on the exterior walls and roofs of numerous Greenbriar homes.

Rebecca Gotwalt

Hello Neighbors,

I hope everyone is enjoying the beauty of Greenbriar in the summer. It seems everything is growing and growing, including trees. Branches are overhanging sidewalks and roads all through our neighborhood. With all the talk of an elevated number of ticks in the area from the mild winter, these trees start to look a lot less lovely and more like a health hazard! Fairfax County tries to stay out of conversations about trees growing from private property, but there is good information on www.fairfaxcounty.gov/dpwes/, and your neighbors have shared tips and recommendations for tree services on greenbriarfairfax.nextdoor.com. See also http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/dpwes/environmental/how_to_hire_arborist.htm.

Deer Management Program. Dr. Katherine Edwards, Fairfax County Police Department Wildlife Management Specialist, extended Greenbriar the courtesy of alerting the GCA that Rocky Run Stream Valley will be participating in the Deer Management Archery program from September 9, 2017, to February 24, 2018. County staff will be sending letters to the residents that border the park.

Special Election. A special election will take place on August 29 to fill an at-large vacancy on the Fairfax County School Board. The at-large member will serve for the remainder of the present term of office, which expires January 1, 2020. Details and sample ballots will be posted to greenbriarfairfax.nextdoor.com.

Block Captain Appreciation Party. We will be holding our block captain appreciation party (BCAP) on Sunday, August 20, from 3-5 p.m. at the Cale Community Center. It’s a good time with the volunteers that make our neighborhood great, complete with fun and food from some of our local sponsors. The Similans Thai Eatery has already signed up to donate delicious deserts again. It’s never too late to join, even on the 20th! We always need more help.

2017-2018 Membership Drive. The BCAP kicks off our annual membership drive, which will run through September 30. Expect a visit from your block captain. They’ll be sharing what’s new for this year and asking everyone to join or renew their membership in the best civic association around!

Car Show. September 30 is also the date of our 1st Annual GCA Antique/Classic/Exotic Car and Motorcycle Show. This is going to be an amazing event, which will be fun for all ages. The car show will have music, food, cool vehicles, GCA partner clubs and everything else we can fit into the Greenbriar Pool parking lot! See page 18 for all the details.

Those who can, do. Those who can do more, volunteer!

NEW TO GREENBRIAR?

The Greenbriar Civic Association would like to welcome you to Greenbriar by presenting you with a welcome kit. To obtain your kit, call Janet Goodgion at 703-968-7384.

Letter to the Editor

We received the following two notes from a lovely lady on Penndale Lane:Note #1 — In our last [neighborhood], all dog walkers carried plastic bags. This is a kindness to homeowners who mow their

own lawns. Note #2 — Let’s accentuate the positive to encourage neighborliness. I don’t get out much to get names but see many with

plastic bags. Thank you to the many lovely neighbors who walk dogs on Penndale Lane and pick up poopy lawn deposits. Editor’s Note: We would like to remind all Greenbriar residents that a Fairfax County statute requires that you pick up your

pet’s waste when walking in the neighborhood, including in the wooded trail that runs through our neighborhood. On behalf of your neighbors, we thank you for adhering to this law, not only as a courtesy to your neighbors but also for the concern in protecting our watershed and health.

There are additional complaints that some are placing their own pet’s waste in neighbor’s trash receptacles. PLEASE DON’T DO THIS! It may be convenient for you, but your neighbors definitely do not appreciate it for a number of reasons!

GCA President Rebecca Gotwalt called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. The board approved the minutes of the May 2, 2017, meeting as written and distributed. The board accepted the financial report as presented by Treasurer Jacqueline Marquez-Downie. The balance in our accounts on May 31, 2017, was $143,623.42. Secretary Barbara Levermann moved that the membership approve an amendment to Article V, Section 1, of the GCA Bylaws to add an associate membership category by changing “three classes” to “four classes” in the first sentence and adding paragraph (d) to read:

Associate: Non-Greenbriar residents 18 or more years of age who reside in adjacent subdivisions shall have no voting rights nor any other rights or privileges extended to residential members and non-residential property owners as contained in these Bylaws and the Association’s Standing Rules. All references to members or the membership elsewhere in these Bylaws and the Standing Rules refer specifically to those members described in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section except when referring to membership dues.

The proposed amendment appeared in the May issue of the Greenbriar Flyer in accordance with Article XII, Section 1, of the GCA Bylaws. The motion was seconded and approved by the members present. Rebecca noted that the July GCA meeting falls on July 4, the Independence Day holiday. The board agreed to hold the meeting on Thursday, July 6, instead. Rebecca presented the GCA’s 2017 Citizen-of-the-Year award to Sarah Woessner in recognition of her compassion and generosity in providing a home for Paubla and Shawn Lopez after they lost their apartment and all their possessions to a house fire just before Thanksgiving 2016. Sarah’s son, Andrew, and Shawn were classmates at Greenbriar West Elementary School. Thanks to Sarah and her husband, Bill, opening their hearts and home to the Lopez family, Shawn was able to finish the school year at GBW. Rebecca presented a commemorative plaque and a gift card to Sarah and thanked District 1A Representative Brandon Gotwalt, District 3B Representative Howard Pierce, Virginia Pierce and Barbara for their service on the COTY committee. Rebecca said she had received a number of calls from residents who were concerned about the recent report of a bear sighting and the presence of other wildlife, such as foxes and raccoons, in the neighborhood. Residents should report bear sightings to the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries through the Virginia Wildlife Conflict Helpline at 855-571-9003. Residents should be aware that bears and other wildlife are attracted by bird feeders, garbage, outdoor pet food, compost piles, fruit trees and berry-producing shrubs. Residents should also be advised that unless an animal appears to be sick or injured or poses a threat to public safety, the Animal Protection unit of the Fairfax County Police Department will not take any action to remove bears or other wildlife from a home or neighborhood. Rebecca will send more information regarding how to deal with wildlife reports to the district reps for dissemination to their block captains. Rebecca announced that the block captain appreciation party, which is a kickoff to the 2017-2018 membership drive, will be held at the community center on Sunday, August 20, at 3 p.m. Rebecca presented an over-sized replica of a check for $2,500 to the 2017 GCA scholarship winner Ava Sharifi, a Chantilly High School student who will be attending the University of Chicago in the fall to pursue a political science degree. Rebecca introduced Karen Harrison, a representative of Delegate Jennifer Boysko’s office, who presented a letter of appreciation to Ava on behalf of Delegate Boysko. Ava served as an intern on Delegate Boysko’s election campaign for the Virginia House of Delegates. Rebecca thanked District 4B Representative Debbie Legieza, District 4C Representative Reggie West, Brandon, Howard, Virginia and Barbara for their service on the scholarship committee and noted how difficult the decision was due to the already impressive resumes and accomplishments of the applicants. Rebecca announced that dates have been set for some of

the community’s 50th anniversary celebrations:• Trivia nights will be at the Cale Community Center

on Tuesdays, June 27 and July 25, at 7:15 p.m. Participants may form teams of up to four people for the competition, and the GCA will provide snacks and award prizes.

• Greenbriar residents Rajeswari and Michael Tress will offer free yoga lessons for residents at the community center. Hatha yoga will be on Wednesday, June 14; Tuesday, June 20; and Tuesday, July 11. Chair yoga will be on Thursday, June 15; Wednesday, June 21; and Thursday, July 13. All lessons will start at 7:15 p.m.

• The antique and classic car show will be on Saturday, September 30, in the Greenbriar Pool parking lot from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Brandon hopes to enlist the help of local Boy Scout troops but will need additional volunteers from the community.

Rebecca presented the slate of candidates to serve on the GCA board from July 1, 2017, through June 30, 2018, and called for any other nominations from the floor. Joe Milazzo volunteered to fill the vacancy for district 4A. There being no further nominations, District 3C Representative Mike Frizell moved that the following slate of candidates be elected by acclamation:

As a kickoff to a yearlong celebration, the program at the meeting on September 18 will feature reminiscences from several members who were there at the beginning or in the very early days of the club. Since the club was started by a group of Greenbriar women who wanted to band together to do wonderful things for their new community and make new friendships, these reminiscences will include stories and anecdotes about the early days of Greenbriar, as well. There will be a facilitator, and members of the audience will be able to ask questions. We invite anyone interested in the early days of Greenbriar and the woman’s club to join us at the Cale Community Center on Monday, September 18, at 7 p.m.

With 80,000 members in affiliated clubs in every state and more than a dozen countries, GFWC members are community leaders who work locally to create global change by supporting the arts, preserving natural resources, advancing education, promoting healthy lifestyles, encouraging civic involvement, and working toward world peace and understanding.

Perils of Childhoodby Angela D. Glascock, Editorial Writer

There is no September edition!Next Greenbriar Flyer Deadline

September 8, 2017, 7 P.M.

A few days ago, my daughter asked me if she could ride her bike farther than the current limits I’d set. Several thoughts flooded my brain: “How far is safe?” “Will she be alone?” “People speed throughout the neighborhood. What if she gets hurt?” “If she takes her phone with her …”

Wait! I didn’t have a phone when I was a kid, and I went all over the place on my bike at her age. Of course, we were tucked back in a cozy section of Brookfield … it was the late 70s and early 80s.

This last thought plunged me into the warm memories of childhood. Riding my beloved Huffy, no helmet (were there even bike helmets then?), wind in my braids, going as fast as I could.

At this point my daughter left, having realized I was lost in thought and not likely to emerge anytime soon. A few days later, I saw a post on the Greenbriar Facebook page about a missing girl. I started to pass it by until I realized it was a local girl. Not local like somewhere in Fairfax County but as in from the apartments across from Greenbriar Town Center. Local like within a mile.

According to the post and missing person flyers, she was taking out the garbage when she disappeared. I’m not saying they’re related, but the Facebook post led me to a June 3, 2017, piece on WTOP.com

about teen sex trafficking in Fairfax County. What I read stunned me. It was one of those, “That type of thing doesn’t happen here!” situations. But, apparently, it does.

Fortunately, someone was paying attention. I learned from the WTOP piece that a nonprofit called JustAskPrevention.org was “created by detectives from the Fairfax County Police Department …” Its purpose is to connect “county agencies, schools, and community leaders to educate and raise awareness about human trafficking in Northern Virginia.”

The WTOP piece goes on to say, “According to the Just Ask website … Northern Virginia is one of the top hot spots for teen trafficking.”

A Washingtonian Magazine article entitled “You’re Pretty — You Could Make Some Money” from June 2013 tells readers, “In the affluent Northern Virginia suburbs … Police and federal agents have taken down dozens of juvenile sex traffickers … one gang recruited teenagers through Facebook, at Metro stations and shopping malls — even in the halls of Fairfax County public schools.”

That article inspired the following list: • Keep computers (including laptops) and other electronics in a common room, not in your kids’

bedrooms.• Use parental controls to monitor your children’s online and smartphone activity.• Spend time with your kids online — and offline — and ask them to teach you about their favorite

websites, YouTube channels, and so on.• Know your kids’ online accounts and passwords so you can check them.• Review their search history (Although … it is easy to delete. So, if it’s blank, red flag!).• Check your kids’ phone records for unknown numbers and install apps and programs on their

electronics that let you monitor their Web browsing and block certain content.• Read their texts. They might get all “shouty” about it, but they’ll live.• Consider tracking your children’s locations through their cell phones. There are apps available.• Ensure your kids understand the importance of never posting pictures or videos of themselves

online; never giving out identifying information, such as their names, addresses and phone numbers; and never arranging a face-to-face meeting with anyone they or their friends meet online.

• Talk to your kids about sexual victimization and other potential dangers. • Encourage them to tell you if anything happens that makes them uncomfortable. Let them know

you won’t judge them. • Kids worry about what their parents think of them. Is there an adult you trust that your kids

could talk to when they are too embarrassed to talk to you?These suggestions also apply to general Internet safety, bullying prevention and suicide prevention.The Internet makes it easier to lure kids, both girls and boys, into selling their bodies. Whether or

not you have children or yours are grown, as a community, we can help prevent childhood and teen sex trafficking by being educated and aware.

The world today, right? Not as safe as it used to be. Actually, I don’t agree with that. The world has changed, and there are more people, for sure. But after

I read Bill Bryson’s One Summer: America, 1927, I got to thinking. Among other things, I learned from One Summer that the worst school massacre in the U.S. wasn’t at Columbine, Virginia Tech or Sandy Hook, and it wasn’t recent. It was in Bath, Michigan, on May 18, 1927. Forty-four people died that day, the last day of school; 38 of them were kids. In a Washington Times book review of One Summer, Kevin Baker writes of that year, “We were … a curiously dysfunctional nation, one where two-thirds of the murders went unsolved, and the average homicide rate was exponentially higher than it is now in much of the country.”

My point here is, before the Internet, our access to news of the world was limited. We’d have to wait for the newspaper, the six o’clock news or neighborhood gossip. We heard less bad news, so we naturally assumed the world wasn’t bad.

When I start to get anxious thinking of my daughter biking around the neighborhood, I remind myself that the technology that can sometimes hurt our kids also allows us to connect to them when we are apart.

That is something my parents didn’t have when I was a kid.

Thank you, Greenbriar!by Angela Glascock

With your support, Team Sisters raised $8,090 for the Out of the Darkness Overnight Walk in Washington, DC, on June 17-18, 2017.

We walked 16.3 miles through the night for suicide prevention and awareness.

It was an unforgettable experience, filled with hope, some tears, and a glimpse of many different areas of DC at night.

Our teammate Laura Reynolds was selected to be one of the people to come up and place her luminaria during the opening ceremonies.

Our walk began and ended at the Lincoln Memorial. For about six hours, we walked past museums, botanical gardens, federal buildings, the Washington Monument, statues, memorials, clubs and long lines of people waiting to get in them, homeless folks, beautiful DC homes, and lots of people cheering us on into the wee hours. Brownie Dogue even came out to say hello.

We couldn’t have accomplished all we did without you.The 10th Annual Fairfax NOVA Out of the Darkness

Community Walk (different from June’s Overnight) is on September 16, 2017, at the Fairfax County Government Center. The walk begins at 11 a.m. and ends at 1 p.m. There is no minimum to raise. You can find more information, register to walk, or join Team Sisters. Just Google “Fairfax Out of the Darkness Community Walk.”

Luminaria—each walker made one for loved ones. Each luminaria had at least one name on it but usually a lot more.

Where did the summer go? Is it really time for Fairfax County Public Schools to open? Our four schools here in Greenbriar — Greenbriar East Elementary, Greenbriar West Elementary, Rocky Run Middle and Chantilly High — will open their doors on Monday, August 28, 2017. For children entering elementary school for the first time, go to https://www.fcps.edu for any info you might need. Be sure to check the bell schedule for all schools in Greenbriar because there may have been a change.

Having taught for so long in this school system, I have some thoughts to share with you that are not necessarily on the FCPS Web site. That first day you take your child to school can be as easy as ABC, and there are some things you can do ahead of time to ensure a smooth transition from home to school for your child.

Parents of newcomers to Fairfax County schools need to go to the school weeks before opening day and speak to one of the fine assistants who will greet you

as you enter the office. They will give you papers to fill out and return. Do not wait until August 28 to enroll your child in school! This applies to elementary, middle and high schools. If your child has a special need, make an appointment with the office assistants to see the principal to discuss the situation.

Prior to the first day of school, you will receive notification by mail to “meet and greet” your child’s new teacher. On meet and greet day, the teacher has an agenda, and she needs to communicate to all parents who arrive for a short time; prolonged conversations are not on her agenda. This is not the day to deliver information or communicate any other pertinent information about your child. You need to do that beforehand. This is the day to show your child the room where he/she will go. Be sure to point out the route going into the building and from their new room to where the buses are located in front by observing markers — like the water fountain, library, office, etc.

After you meet and greet the teacher and have received a list of supplies your child will need, please do the following:

• Label everything. Use a magic marker to write your child’s name and the teacher’s name on school boxes, snow boots, umbrellas, coats and jackets. Put your child’s name on the outside of his/her lunch box to ensure your child eats his/her own lunch and not another child’s lunch due to look-alike lunch boxes.

• Even if your child does not want to buy lunches at school, get a lunch ticket just in case your child forgets to take his/her lunch to school one day. A lunch ticket can reduce the stress your child will feel when he/she realizes that special lunch you prepared with loving hands is still sitting on the kitchen counter.

• Buses are usually an issue on that first day of school. Why? Because parents often drive their child to school on the first day, and then the child has no clue as to which bus to board at the end of the day. It is much easier to

provide your child with the same, consistent routine of getting to and from school from day one. When teachers ask the student, “Which bus did you take to school this morning?” your child will answer, “My parents drove me to school this morning” or simply “the yellow bus.” Yep!

• If you have anything that needs to be addressed that first day or any day, write a note, place it in an envelope, write your child’s and teacher’s names and date on the envelope. Notes pined to a student’s jacket are usually an easy way to get a message to the teacher.

• The first day of school is overwhelming for both teachers and students. Please give the teacher a break — smile, introduce yourself and your child to the new teacher, and let your child talk to the teacher. Walk around the room and get a feel for what your child will talk about when he/she returns home from school. Let your child meet and greet his classmates. And then exit.

• If your student can bring pencils to class, then order pencils with Johnny or Susie’s name on them. This solves the question, “Whose pencil is on the floor?” I recommend Ticonderoga #2 brand pencils even if it doesn’t have your child’s name on it. These pencils have the best eraser for young children. Most other brands have erasers that tear the paper when they try to use them.

• If you would like to volunteer to help in your child’s classroom, ask the teacher if he/she could use an extra hand with events, field trips, carnivals or any classroom activities throughout the school year. Just ask or send a note to school. Again, it’s best not to do this on the first day of school.

Here’s to a wonderful school year for you and your children. May they love to learn, eat their breakfast quickly, and arrive at school on time with bright eyes ready to enjoy one of life’s most awesome experiences — school!

Countdown-to-School Craft It is so hard to believe that school will be starting in just about a month! For those kids (and parents) who are excited for the school year to begin, here is a simple and fun craft that can help you and your family count down to the first day of school. Materials:

• Construction paper• Pencil• Scissors• Glue stick• Stapler (optional)

Cut 1-inch strips of colored paper. This measurement is approximate. Let your child have fun, and the craft will look great even if the strips are not all the same size. Using a stapler (or glue stick), create interlocking loops out of the paper strips. One loop for each day until school starts. Have your child create a school-related picture. It can be a school bus, a picture of friends, a schoolhouse ... whatever they like. Let them be creative! Attach the chain to your child’s picture and hang your countdown in a central location. Tear off a loop each day until school starts. Happy school year!

Please Remember: Scoop the Poop!(Conservation Currents, Northern Virginia Soil and Water Conservation District)

Pet waste is a subject everyone likes to avoid, although we at the Northern Virginia Soil and Water Conservation District like to bring it up often.

Pet waste is ugly and smelly. But even worse, it poses a health risk to pets, bodies of water and people. Pet waste left on sidewalks, streets, trails and grassy areas is immediately flushed into the nearest waterway when it rains. Even if you can’t see the water near you, the pet waste goes into a storm drain where it travels untreated to your neighborhood stream or lake.

Like human waste, animal waste may contain harmful bacteria and viruses, making the receiving water unfit for drinking and recreation. In addition, pet waste contains nutrients that will accelerate the growth of nuisance algae.

What should Fairfax County residents do with animal waste?• Scoop it up and bag it with the rest of your household garbage. It’s the law!• Or scoop it up and flush it down your toilet just like human waste.

Turning on the tap and having an affordable, reliable source of high-quality water is something most of us take for granted in Fairfax County. Taking care of our water is a joint effort by the county and Fairfax Water, as well as other local, state and federal entities. The team of approximately 400 employees at Fairfax Water is responsible for the water that comes into your home for drinking, cooking, washing, etc.

Pour yourself a glass of water and learn more about what you’re drinking.

How is my water quality?Our water quality in Fairfax County is excellent. As a

Fairfax Water customer, the water you drink consistently surpasses all federal and state standards. Fairfax Water tests for approximately 177 compounds, including nitrates (runoff from fertilizers) and fluoride (additive to promote dental health). Fairfax Water’s Water Quality Laboratory conducts the testing.

What about lead?Our sources for water do not contain lead, and Fairfax

Water’s distribution system does not contain lead pipe. However, if you have an older home built before 1986, your plumbing may contain some lead. If you have concerns about the plumbing in your home affecting the lead levels in your water, contact Fairfax Water’s Customer Service Department at 703-698-5800 (TTY 711) for information about lead-level testing.

Where does my water come from?Fairfax Water draws raw water from two primary sources:

the Potomac River and the Occoquan Reservoir, which is fed by the Occoquan River. The four plants that treat your water feed an interconnected distribution system. The Frederick P. Griffith Jr. plant treats water from the Occoquan Reservoir and the three other facilities treat water from the Potomac, including the James J. Corbalis Jr., McMillan and Dalecarlia plants.

How is our water treated?All four of the water treatment plants use advanced

technologies and practices in drinking-water treatment, which is the process of cleaning raw water to make it safe for you to drink. A summary of the treatment, includes these steps:

1. Untreated water enters the treatment plants, and coagulants are added to cause small particles to adhere to one another, become heavy and settle in a sedimentation basin.

2. Water is then filtered through activated carbon and sand to remove the remaining fine particles and disinfected with chlorine to kill harmful bacteria and viruses.

3. Additional steps include adding fluoride and treatments to remove taste or odor-causing compounds.

Where Does My Water Come From?

Five Ways to Help You Drink More WaterKeys to Better Health by Cindy Santa Ana*

We’ve all been told we should be drinking about eight glasses of water per day. Water is crucial to maintain your health. But are eight glasses right for you? How big is a “glass”? And, what if I don’t like water?The benefits of water.

Water is essential for internal cleansing, radiant skin, maintaining cellular health, preventing headaches, proper digestion and numerous other bodily functions. We need water. Many of us are dehydrated and don’t even know it.

Water helps flush out toxins from the body, prevents dry skin and relieves constipation.

Even a small reduction of water in our bodies can cause low energy, brain fog and eventually headache and pain.How much should I drink?

Some say a good basic rule of thumb is to take your body weight (in pounds) and divide it by 2. This is the number of ounces of water that you should be drinking each day. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, you will need 75 ounces of water per day. But this will vary depending on the season, the amount of exercise you are doing and types of food you consume.

During the winter months, we don’t need as much water, especially if you’re indoors and not exercising at least 30 minutes per day. However, that doesn’t mean you can slack off on your intake. Dry heat from gas furnaces can cause dry skin and dry nostrils leading to colds and sinus issues. I like to keep a humidifier running in the living room where I spend most of my time.

During warmer months, you can get a small amount of water from fruits and vegetables like watermelon and cucumbers. But, if you’re exercising outdoors, you may need to increase your water intake. If you are thirsty, you aren’t consuming enough water.5 ways to increase your intake.

Start your day off with a large glass of water. You’ve been asleep for at least 8 hours (hopefully), and you’re dehydrated when you wake up. Add some lemon juice to make it palatable, get a Vitamin C boost and balance your pH.

Don’t like water? Flavor it! Add some orange, lemon or lime slices or fresh berries. Tear up some mint leaves, slice some cucumbers or add a few drops of essential oils like Wild Orange or Peppermint.

Purchase a refillable water container — make it stainless steel or glass. (No more plastic bottles, or even BPA-free.) Carry your bottle with you everywhere — even when you travel.

*Excerpt printed with permission from Chantilly Times, Friday-Sunday, July 14-16, 2017, edition, page A-7.

Fairfax Water is Virginia’s largest water utility and one of the 25 largest water utilities in the country, serving one out of every five Virginians who obtain their water from public utilities. Nearly two million people in the Northern Virginia communities of Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William, Fort Belvoir, Herndon, Dulles, Vienna, Alexandria, Falls Church, and Fairfax City depend on Fairfax Water for superior drinking water.

Fairfax Water provides water that is treated at four different locations. Fairfax Water owns and operates the two largest water treatment facilities in Virginia with an average daily water production of 163 million gallons and combined maximum capacity of 376 million gallons per day. The James J. Corbalis Jr. treatment plant is at the northern tip of Fairfax County and the Frederick P. Griffith Jr. treatment plant is on the southern border of Fairfax County.

Fairfax Water also purchases water from the McMillan and Dalecarlia treatment plants in Washington DC. They are part of the Washington Aqueduct, owned and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Fairfax Water draws raw water from two primary sources: the Potomac River and the Occoquan Reservoir, which is fed by the Occoquan River. The four treatment facilities feed an interconnected distribution system that includes 3,971 miles of water mains, 28,827 fire hydrants, and 97,683 valves.

Fairfax Water Provides Water To Nearly 2 Million People


How Well Are Police in Virginia Performing?

How well are police departments in Virginia performing their duties? A Greenbriar resident is leading a federally funded stu-dent research project to find out.

Frank Manheim (Pebble Lane) is a professor at the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University. He took advantage of the Department of Education’s Work-Study program to engage Mason undergraduates Tim Bullock and Jahtanya Scott in a citizen-oriented assessment of police depart-ments in Virginia. Chantilly High School graduates (2017) Dan-iel Mitchell and Khang Nguyen recently joined in the research. The latter two former students in physics teacher Greg Reiter’s class are not your ordinary high schoolers. They have skills in database management software of the kind that can potentially run a million-dollar-a-year business. They are entering complex data from the research project into the database and developing a user-friendly “front end,” which will make asking complex ques-tions about the data easy.

How do you rate police department operations using publicly accessible data? The research project uses four sources: (1) police Web sites, (2) media reports, (3) crime statistics for the municipality, and (4) changes in crime rates from 2010 to 2015.

Virginia police departments serve populations ranging from more than a million (Fairfax County) to less than 1,000. There are about 150 departments, not including counties. So far, it appears that, in general, Virginia does a better than average job of policing.

Not long ago, patrons in the Greenbriar McDonald’s restaurant were overheard talking about the scouting program. One patron asked another, “Do you have to have been a Cub Scout to join Boy Scouts?” The answer is no. Boys at any age may join the scouting program, whether or not they have participated as Cub Scouts. Here are the rules directly from the Boy Scouts of America home page:

How old (or young) can a boy be to join Cub Scouting? Cub Scouting is for boys in the first through fifth grades or 7 to 10 years of age. Boys who are older than 10, or who have completed the fifth grade, can no longer join Cub Scouting, but they may be eligible to join

the Boy Scouting or Venturing program depending on their age and grade level.

What is the Boy Scout age range?Youth who are 11 but not yet 18 years old can join a Boy Scout troop. Also, boys can join at age 10 if they have completed the fifth grade and are at least 10 years old or are Cub Scouts who have earned the Arrow

of Light rank and are at least 10 years old.If you’d like your boy to get involved in scouting; learn about and experience the outdoors through camping and other activities; learn about essential and practical life skills, leadership and teamwork; and learn and

be immersed in a program that teaches and practices good moral values, please encourage your sons to join Boy Scouts. Besides, it is lots of fun! By the way, girls can also join the Venturing Program. There are troops in the area that have these programs.

We have four scouting units that meet right here in the Greenbriar area: • Cub Scout Pack 1133 meets on Tuesdays at Greenbriar West Elementary School. You can find out how boys can join at its website: https://gbwcubpack1133.shutterfly.com. The Cubmaster is Mike Stone.• Boy Scout Troop 1547 meets on Mondays at Rocky Run Intermediate School. You can learn about their program on their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Boy-Scout-Troop-1547-302128423152408.

The Scoutmaster is Bryan Exley• Cub Scout Pack 1863 meets at Greenbriar East Elementary. See https://pack1863.com. The Cubmaster is Scott Stables• Boy Scout Troop 1548 meets at Poplar Tree Elementary School: https://troop1548.shutterfly.com. You can contact the Scoutmaster, Steve Klosky, at 703-964-6121 for more information.

Here is an update on what two of our scouting units have been doing recently.

Rechartering CeremonyOn June 22, the Greenbriar Civic Association (GCA) held a rechartering ceremony at the Cale Community Center for the two scouting units it supports, Troop 1547 and

Pack 1133. As the Chartering Organization, GCA oversees and supports the conduct of the scouting program for these units. The charters were hung in the Cale Center during the ceremony. Rechartering occurs annually.

Troop 1547 Eagle Court of HonorIn June, Troop 1547 held a Court of Honor to recognize two new Eagle Scouts, George Blackwell III and Chris Blackwell. Their proud parents, George and Judy Blackwell,

hosted the Court. Eagle Scout is the highest honor a Boy Scout can achieve, and only a small percentage of Scouts achieve it.GCA president Rebecca Gotwalt and GCA board member Brandon Gotwalt attended and presented newly minted GCA Eagle Scout recognition coins to each of the honorees.

Other ActivitiesThe Scouts of Troop 1547 continue to work on the Personal Fitness merit badge during their weekly meetings. However, they took a break and camped at the Naval Recreation

Center at Solomons, Maryland, over the Memorial Day holiday. This is the annual family camp out for Troop 1547, and families and Scouts enjoyed a variety of amusements, including access to four pools, two waterslides, a riverside beach, miniature golf, driving range, billiard tables, ping pong table, basketball and tennis courts, and a fishing pier, among others. The Scouts can also count the nights they spent at Solomons toward their camping merit badges.

In June, the troop planned two more Philmont-readiness hikes to Shenandoah National Park. By the time August rolls around, the Philmont-bound Scouts will be well prepared. The last week of June was summer camp at Base Camp Powhatan in Hiwassee, Virginia. This camp is the largest council-owned Scout camp in the United States. The scouts worked on a variety of merit badges, including Nature, Basketry, Geocaching, Archery and Rifle, and Shotgun Shooting.

Pack 1133In May, Pack 1133 held its annual bicycle rodeo. The Cub Scouts reviewed safety rules,

checked over their bikes, and participated in a “stop on a dime” race, a slow race, and a simulated road course. We thank the Greenbriar Pool Club for allowing the use of their parking lot for the event.

June was a busy month. The Pack held both its annual family campout at Burke Lake Park, as well as the Rain-gutter Regatta model boat race. A contingent of Scouts attended the Sully District Twilight Day Camp for a program that included archery, BB shooting, fishing, nature and crafts.

In July, another contingent went to Camp Ross at the Goshen Scout Reservation to enjoy such activities as swimming and boating, plus Scout skills, like fire building and knots. Also in July, the pack took its annual bike hike on the Rocky Run trail.

The Way It Was, A History of the Greenbriar CommunityChapter 4. The Greenbriar Flyer

by Bettie Ryland

The history of the “Greenbriar Flyer” is quite a phenomenon in the evolution of the Greenbriar community. The Flyer began when the original “Pioneers” in 1967 created a newsletter that was delivered by a group of volunteers to their neighbors’ homes. Linda Goodson related that she typed the articles for the first newsletters on stencils and ran them off on a machine. Bernie Crowe was the Flyer’s first editor. The Flyers were originally delivered by Greenbriar Civic Association (GCA) “block captains” to all homes. Linda recalled delivering the flyers while pushing her child in a stroller! Linda and Bernie were some of the earliest of thousands of volunteers in the Greenbriar community, who have prepared and distributed the Flyer for 39 years. The GCA sponsors the Greenbriar Flyer as their official publication but allows the Flyer to maintain a separate treasury and has granted editorial authority on the content of the newspaper. Early in the history of the Flyer, 1973 or 1974, there was a serious disagreement between the GCA and the Flyer staff on who should control the contents of the Flyer. The entire staff of the Flyer resigned at that time and the GCA president, Bill Russell, a professional editor himself, took over the paper for approximately one year. In July of 1974, Bettie Ryland assumed the job of editor-in-chief. Bettie stated at her first meeting with the GCA Board that her willingness to take over the assignment hinged on a mutual agreement between the board and herself that, as editor, she would accept all articles from the GCA but reserved the right to present counter arguments. She proposed that the first five pages would be available to GCA for copy. She explained that she would listen but would not be controlled by the GCA. Hence, the development of the concept that the Flyer was under GCA (for insurance and tax purposes), but was independent of GCA as to news content. Over the years, these issues were revisited, but the Flyer’s independence has survived. In the early years of the preparation of the Flyer, the typing, paste-up and other necessary work was done in staff members’ homes. For a short time in the seventies, the staff worked in a vacant storefront in the Greenbriar Shopping Center on Majestic Lane. When the Greenbriar Community Center opened in 1975-76, the Flyer staff was able to use a “closet” for paste-up of the newspaper. The Flyer helped the GCA build an addition onto the original building of the Center and a room was designated as “The Flyer Room,” which is used to the present time. However, much of the work is still done in homes because of the convenience and access of home computers. Besides the top position of editor-in-chief, other volunteer positions include editors of operations, state/local news, club news, center feature, school news, layout generalists, production, business manager, ad layout and classified ads. Copy editors, editorial and sports writers as well as other special writers are included. Other positions on the masthead are feature cartoonist, cooking editor, gardening editor and photo editor. Regarding the actual typing (now called word processing) are the coordinator, the word processors, back-up word processors, proofreaders, quality control, and layout typists. There also are final proofreaders, copy coordinators and circulation volunteers. All of these positions are volunteer ones and the staff involved publishes ten editions of this newspaper each year. In all these 39 years, it is amazing that some people have worked almost the entire time on the newspaper. The following people have been editors-in-chief of the Flyer since 1967: Bernie Crowe, Bill Russell, Joan Wood, Bettie Ryland and Anna Nurmi. Bettie served for 25 years, retiring in 2002 to North Carolina. Over these years, the Flyer has reported on all the wonderful events that happened in and around Greenbriar. Some of the subjects throughout the years were quite controversial. Bernard Poirier was a member of the staff for quite a few years and was not afraid to tackle controversial subjects. The monthly staff meetings at Bettie’s house were always lively ones when Bernie was there. He was a devoted staff writer and many of his

articles were important and informative for the development of Greenbriar. Until the 1990s, the GCA block captains delivered the monthly newsletters door to door throughout Greenbriar. Eventually this method became quite a burden for the neighborhood volunteers. The Flyer staff and the GCA agreed to share in the expense of mailing the Flyers to each house in Greenbriar at a bulk mail price. Later the GCA board voted that the treasuries of the GCA, the community center and the Flyer should be independent with no charges between the three parts of these community institutions. The Flyer would no longer be required to pay for use of the Community Center and the GCA would no longer contribute toward the postage to send out the Flyer. This arrangement has worked very well for over ten years. The Flyer staff also mails copies of the Flyer, at a low subscription rate, to former residents of the community as well as mailing free copies to various offices in Fairfax County. Free copies of the Flyer also are placed in retail stores in the Greenbriar Shopping Center so that nonresidents of Greenbriar can keep up with the local news. The Flyer is financially independent, primarily due to selling advertisements to the local businesses. The Flyer staff also provides scholarships for graduating seniors of Chantilly High School. Those who have been fortunate to live in Greenbriar and have worked on the Flyer newspaper are very proud of this exceptional newspaper that is completely produced and managed by a group of dedicated volunteers. Few communities nationally produce a local newspaper of the quality of the Greenbriar Flyer. Copies of all Greenbriar Flyers, since the beginning of publication, are available on microfilm in the Virginia Room of the Fairfax County Main Library. GCA has requested that copies of the microfilm, including future editions of the Greenbriar Flyer, be placed in the Chantilly Library for research on Greenbriar.

Come to the Drive-in: Starlight Cinema Presents Finding Dory

Just like in the old days when the family jumped into the station wagon and headed to the drive-in movies for great en-tertainment, popcorn and a speaker hooked to the window, you, too, can enjoy a similar experience. Join the Fairfax County Park Authority for the presentation of the PG-rated, animated adventure comedy “Finding Dory” on Saturday, August 12, 2017.

This 2016 Disney picture is already a classic and favorite among the younger set.

Voiceovers include Ellen DeGeneres, Diane Keaton, Ty Burrell and Ed O’Neill.

Finding Dory will be playing at the Trinity Centre Parking Lot at 5860 Trinity Parkway, Centreville, Virginia. Admission is free, and food, music and children’s activities are offered from 6 until 8 p.m. The movie will start at dark.

Mid-summer Garden continued from page 20the herbicide glyphosate is effective. Better alternatives for the garden than lesser celandine is our native golden ragwort (Packera aurea) or foam flower (Tiarella cordifolia).

Some people might wonder, “What is the difference between a native plant and an invasive alien plant?” A native plant is a species indigenous to a particular region of North America, known to have occurred there historically. They have slowly evolved and adapted to local growing conditions. Most native insects and wildlife depend on them for survival; this includes bees, butterflies, birds, amphibians, reptiles and mammals. Some native plants can become aggressive in an area (Virginia creeper, native grape vines, etc.). Most of the alien (or non-native) plants brought to North America grow very successfully without squeezing out the native flora. Because of the optimum growing conditions and lack of serious diseases and predators, some non-native plants become seriously invasive over a short time because of their rapid growth and seed dispersal. They quickly crowd out the native plants. In many cases, deer and other wildlife don’t eat them, or their roots produce toxins that inhibit the growth of native species. Wildlife species that are dependent on the native plants begin to go elsewhere or just die off. When plants become invasive on a large scale, their impact can be economical, due to loss and damage to farmland. They can influence the ecology by interfering with native ecosystems, altering soil conditions and eliminating the structure of aquatic organisms. Countless ornament plants brought to our shores have not become a problem in an aggressive way. They are familiar and found everywhere. But, if one has a choice between planting a native plant that will give a similar effect and an attractive native plant is available, then you might consider if that native plant would be as good as or even better than the less environmentally helpful non-native plant that is so readily accessible. Native plants usually blend comfortably with the non-native plants in our gardens and add to the interest and diversity of our landscape.
