Roundups

By Bonnie Hobbs

The Connection

Ice cream, music, cookouts and fun were all partof last week’s annual National Night Out cel-ebration. Neighborhoods throughout the lo-cal area participated last Tuesday, Aug. 5, in

an event that lets residents and public-safety per-sonnel socialize in a relaxed and enjoyable atmo-sphere. Here’s what happened in five of these com-munities:

NewgateCentreville’s Newgate community marked the oc-

casion with a pool party. About 125 people turnedout for a pool party featuring stick-on tattoos and aSkee Bowl game for prizes, for the children, pluscotton candy, snow cones and a catered dinner byThe Chef’s Table.

“We’re bringing the community together and mak-ing them aware of neighborhood safety,” saidNewgate Homeowners Association President SusanHartsook, who organized the gathering. “And thedeejay music makes it fun.” She’s lived there 24 yearsand called it “a great place to raise children becauseof the events we have. And we work hard to keep itsafe.”

A 23-year resident, Al Schenck is on the Architec-tural Committee and is the Neighborhood Watchcoordinator. “We created a sense of community bygetting out and being seen in it,” he said. “And wealso listen to the residents’ constructive ideas.”

Regarding National Night Out, Schenck said, “Wehave a fantastic relationship with the Sully District

Police Station, and this is an opportunity to sharewith them what we’re seeing in our neighborhood.And we’re giving out the police non-emergency phonenumber so people can report suspicious activities.”

He said Newgate also has a good relationship withSupervisor Michael R. Frey’s (R-Sully) office, and “itjust makes for a great community when everybodyworks together.”

Jamie McCullough enjoyed the warm, summerevening with her three, young children. “We justmoved here, so this is new to us,” she said. “But it’sfun; it’s neat for both the kids and adults.”

Firefighters from West Centreville Station 38 alsoattended. “It’s good for us to get out and get to knowthe community,” said Lt. Ken Laverock, who’s beenat that station for eight years. “We’re going to threemore of these events tonight. It’s all about seeingthe people in the neighborhoods, visiting with the

Neighborhoods Celebrate National Night Outkids and interacting with the community.”

Winding BrookResidents of Chantilly’s Winding Brook

community had a pool party, too, and renteda waterslide for the children. On the menuwere grilled hot dogs, beverages, chips andwatermelon.

“It’s a very diverse community that workswell together,” said Homeowners Associa-tion President Chris Furlong, who’s livedthere since 2006.

Agreeing, five-year resident JillianBehram said, “We have lots of kids – this isthe place to be on Halloween. And we’redog-friendly; almost every house has a dog.”

She said National Night Out is good be-cause it “brings the community together andwears the kids out. And it’s important forthe children to learn the police aren’t scarypeople.

They’re promoting safety and bridgingthat gap. This event also lets the police showhow cool they are; my son, who’s 7, lovesto get into the cop car and press the but-tons.”

Pam Murphy said it’s nice to be “part of acommunity event, instead of sitting in frontof the TV. And a lot of the teenage boyshelped set things up.”

“We try to instill responsibility in thekids,” said Amanda Davis. “We want themto take ownership of the community andhelp keep it clean.”

Two of the teen helpers were Palacia Scottand Spencer Dunn, a Chantilly High sopho-more and freshman, respectively. Both boysbrought the food and drink out to the pooland got ice for the beverages. And beforethe event, they went door-to-door in theirneighborhood, passing out fliers so the resi-dents would know about it.

“It gets the community together,” saidScott. “We play on the slide and in the pool

and eat good food.”“We all get to talk together and have fun,”

added Dunn. “Crime isn’t good, so peopleshould stay safe.”

Police and firefighters visited this event,as did Deputy Omecihuatl Flores with theFairfax County Sheriff’s Office. “It’s my fifthyear going to National Night Out in Vir-ginia,” she said. “I used to live a coupleblocks from here.”

“People have no clue what sheriff’s offic-ers do,” she said. “In this county, we workin the jail, courthouses and in civil enforce-ment. The only time they see deputies is ina really bad situation. So National Night Outallows us to go into the public and social-ize just for public awareness, so peopleknow that we’re here.”

Little Rocky RunIn Little Rocky Run, residents enjoyed an

ice cream social and splashing in theirneighborhood pool, and attendees includedSgt. Rex Pagerie and 2nd Lt. Trafton Parr.Both have been at the Sully District PoliceStation for a year, but Pagerie’s been withthe Fairfax County Police Department for16 years, and Parr, for 20 years.

Pagerie called National Night Out achance for the public to mingle with policeofficers, fire and rescue personnel, policeExplorers, cadets, sheriff’s deputies, statepolice, Office of Emergency Managementpersonnel and elected officials. “I have acrime-prevention background, and it’s a bigpart of National Night Out, so this initia-

tive is near and dear to me,” he said.“It’s an opportunity for us to make con-

tacts, bridge any cultural gaps, be face toface with residents and listen to thecommunity’s issues,” said Pagerie. “Thecommunity is a big tool that the Police De-partment uses in combating crime. If notfor that relationship, our job would be muchmore difficult.”

Basically, he said, “We can’t be on everystreet corner, so we also rely on tips to helpus catch the bad guys. So we encourageparticipation in Neighborhood Watches andCitizens Advisory Committee [CAC] meet-ings and involvement in the community. It’sa partnership – people just saying somethingwhen they see something [amiss].”

And that’s important, said Parr, because“A lot of people see things, but assume otherpeople have called it in – so no one calls.”

Pleased to visit various neighborhoodsduring National Night Out, Pagerie said theevent also helps police “break cultural bar-riers to foster trust. In certain countries,people don’t trust the police, so it’s a bigbarrier for us to overcome.”

And by showing up, said Parr, police heredemonstrate that they’re accessible to thecitizens they serve. “At an ice cream social,for example, people mention things to usthat they might not, otherwise,” addedPagerie. “And for us, it’s an inter-agency mix;we don’t usually get to work with people inother branches of law enforcement.”

The ElmsAt The Elms at Centreville apartment

community, off Braddock Springs Road, theresidents had a cookout featuring hot dogs,hamburgers, potato salad and watermelon,while the children played egg toss and wa-ter-balloon toss. Linda O’Connor, who’s inher third year there, says it’s a great placeto live.

Opinion

By Dean Klein

Summer vacation is wrapping up; kidseverywhere are gearing up for the re-turn to school. Stores are filled withschool supplies; back-to-school adver-

tising fills our TVs, radio and mailboxes. Manyfamilies are hustling from store to store get-ting supplies, backpacks, clothes and haircuts.As children, while we hated to see summer end,we fondly remember the yearly ritual and the

excitement and anticipation ofgetting all those new things.

Unfortunately, not all familiesand children in Fairfax Countyexperience the new school year

this way. It may be hard to imagine that in acounty as wealthy as Fairfax there are hundredsof children that do not have a home to calltheir own. In 2013, almost 700 children re-sided in emergency homeless shelters at somepoint during the year. This uncertain exist-ence is a constant source of trauma for chil-dren.

While Fairfax County does have strong pro-grams and initiatives provided by its local gov-ernment, its public school system and commu-

nity non-profits tosupport these chil-dren, they are notenough. Permanenthousing is a criticaland basic need of ev-eryone and researchhas consistentlyshown that unlesschildren’s most basicneeds are met in asafe and consistent

manner, their social, emotional, physical andcognitive development is often delayed.

Believe it or not, in a county where the me-dian household income is in excess of$100,000, housing costs are prohibitive formany. There is often a misconception abouthomeless families and it is not uncommon tohear, “they need to work like the rest of us.”

The truth is they do. The vast majority offamilies in homeless shelters are employed andthey are doing everything they can to movethemselves to self-sufficiency and support theirfamilies. The problem is not with their moti-vation to support themselves. The challenge isthat there is not housing available to them thatthey can afford.

While the median household income may bein the six figures, for many it is much lower.Using the accepted formula of spending onethird of gross income on housing, a rent of$1,200/month requires an approximate annualincome of $44,000. That equates to about $21an hour. People who work in the service in-dustry and the stores and businesses we relyon each and every day earn much less thanthat.

As stated in the Ten Year Plan to Prevent andEnd Homelessness adopted by our communityin 2008, we need to have affordable housingthat is accessible to all its hardworking mem-bers. While it is also imperative that we as acommunity continue to ensure that childrenhave school supplies, access to good nutritionat school, clothing etc., without a home to calltheir own, they will continue to live in a per-petual state of fear and stress. If we genuinelywant them to succeed, that is too heavy a loadfor the youngest and most vulnerable in ourcommunity.

If you would like to be a part of helping thesefamilies, please contact one of our non-profitpartners working so hard to find and providehousing for them or the Fairfax County PublicSchools Homeless Liaison Office working dili-gently to make sure these children receive theservices they are entitled to and need.

ImportantStep ForwardTo the Editor:

On Tuesday, July 29, we had theprivilege of attending the ribboncutting for the new CommunityResidences, Inc. (CRI) High Sup-port Needs home at 9332 BurkeRoad, Fairfax. The home, espe-cially tailored for those with in-tense needs, will serve six indi-viduals with intellectual disabili-ties. Some will move to this homefrom the Northern Virginia Train-ing Center, and others will trans-fer from other CRI homes in thearea that are not equipped to pro-vide the same level of support.

It is a brand new single-levelhome in a residential area with anopen floor plan and ample roomfor its residents. The doors arewide, and the bathrooms andkitchen are adapted for those withphysical as well as intellectual anddevelopmental disabilities. Eachresident will have an individual,personally designed and decoratedroom.

Kudos to Community Resi-

dences, the Virginia Department ofBehavioral Health and Develop-mental Services, the CommunityServices Boards, the County ofFairfax, the Virginia Housing De-velopment Authority and to all thefinancial institutions and non-profit organizations who workedtogether to negotiate the red tape,the permits, and the fundingstreams to make the home a real-ity.

Time will tell whether the sup-ports available in this new homeare truly “comparable” to thosereceived by our loved ones atNVTC, as required by SB 627,signed into law by GovernorMcAuliffe on April 4. However,while this model is not the onlypossible solution for individualswith intensive needs currently inTraining Centers or for those whohave waited for too many years oncommunity waiting lists, it is avery significant step in findingways to serve these vulnerablepopulations safely and responsibly.Many more homes of this type andquality need to be built so thatfamilies can keep their loved ones

The Connection

When the Colonnade at Union Mill shop-ping center was going through FairfaxCounty’s approval process in 1988, one

of the proffers was that a veterinary clinic wouldn’tbe allowed in it.

But times have changed; and the developer,Rappaport Cos., now has an applicant for that useand wants it to be able to open upshop in the Colonnade. So it sub-mitted a proffered-conditionamendment to county staff to re-move the previous prohibition.

The applicant, Banfield Pet Hos-pital – which is already open inFair Lakes – would go into a 2,500-square-foot space just to the leftof the Giant Foods store and nearVirginia Runner and a new UPS store.

“The animals can’t be walked outside,” said attor-ney Sara Mariska, representing Rappaport Cos.“They’d be there for appointments only, and surger-ies, too, but rarely overnight stays.”

She was speaking before the July 15 meeting ofthe West Fairfax County Citizens Association

(WFCCA) Land-Use Committee, which was step onebefore the proposal headed to the county PlanningCommission. Not everyone was sold on the idea but,in the end, the WFCCA gave it its blessing.

“Getting a dog across a parking lot with no placeto relieve himself is my concern,” said the WFCCA’sCarol Hawn. “So I don’t think this shopping center isas conducive [to that] as are some of the other [vet-erinary clinics] which are located on the ends ofbuildings with grassy strips next to them.”

But Mariska said there’s “already a demand” for apet hospital in this area, and it would be convenientfor local residents because “it’s close by to people’snormal routines.”

Besides, added WFCCA Land-Use Chairman JimKatcham, “This is the applicant’s investment and is

at his own risk.”And At-Large Planning Commis-

sioner Jim Hart said he “couldn’tthink of any adverse impacts itwould have.”

Mariska said Banfield AnimalHospital would provide care forsmall animals and give routinevaccinations, checkups and urgentcare. No pet grooming or board-

ing would take place.Hawn then made a motion to recommend approval

to the Planning Commission, contingent upon theapplication also receiving a thumbs-up from countystaff – which hadn’t yet written its report on this pro-posal. Jim Neighbors seconded and the motionpassed, 3-1, with only Judy Heisinger voting no.

Pet Hospital ProposedWould be located inColonnade Centernext to Giant Foods.

“It’s close by topeople’s normalroutines.”

— Sara Mariska, attorney

The Connection

When summer comes to agrinding halt in a fewweeks, a new school yearwill begin. From alarm

clocks and school bells to piles of homeworkassignments and sports schedules, main-taining a coordinated household can be dif-ficult, however. Local organizers are offer-ing simple suggestions to help make thetransition from summer to the start of theschool year seamless.

“If you’ve had a lazy summer and yourhome is an organizational mess, take a dayoff from work or at least set aside severalhours to spend whipping it back into shapebefore the first day of school,” said FayeEnglish, an organizer from Fairfax. “Theschool year will be much easier if you getorganized from the beginning.”

Set aside time for tackling such projectsas cleaning out bedroom and coat closetsand mudrooms. “Take all of the clothes,jackets, shoes and sports equipment thatyour kids have outgrown and give themaway,” said English. “Once you’ve discardedeverything you no longer need, start set-ting up new storage systems and make sure

everything has a place.” One of the mostnoticeable changes that many families ex-perience after returning to school is an in-crease in the paper that accumulates athome. “You have to plan the increase inpaper work,” said Alexandria-based orga-nizer Laura Dando. “Give each child a filefolder or a bulletin board where they cankeep their important papers, permissionslips and homework assignments. To con-trol clutter, clean it out once a week.”

Create a space to store or display artwork.“Children enjoy seeing their artwork hang-ing at home,” said Dando. “At the end ofthe school year you can store some of theartwork in a keepsake box.”

Take inventory of each child’s school sup-plies and determine what needs to be pur-chased and what can be reused. “Once theschool sends the list of supplies your childwill need, figure out what you already haveso you don’t feel compelled to blindly buyeverything on the list,” said English. “If yourchild [has] a backpack or lunchbox that’sin perfectly good condition, consider reus-ing it.”

SET ASIDE A SPACE where children willdo homework and make sure each child hasa bin with the supplies he or she will need

for completing their assignments, said Ar-lington-based organizer Michelle Stanbury.“The homework space should be quiet, freeof distractions and have good lighting,” shesaid. Keep a large family calendar that in-cludes each child’s events. “It can even be adry erase board,” said Stanbury. “But itshould include sports schedules, club meet-ings, field trip dates and other events. Usea different color marker for each child. Thisway everyone in the family knows every-one else’s schedule.” Encourage children tobegin choosing their outfits for school be-fore going to bed at night. “This will save alot of time and fights when children aregetting ready for school in the morning,”said Dando. “With younger children, it alsohelps if, when you’re school shopping, youbuy clothes that all coordinate together andmatch. This is especially useful for childrenwho like to pick out their own outfits forschool.” Designate a place in your homewhere children hang up and store theircoats and backpacks. “As parents, some-times it feels easier to hang up our children’sclothes for them,” said English. “But if kidsare trained to hang up their coats, back-packs and lunchboxes as soon as they comein the door from school, it will be less stress-ful for everyone.”

Staying organizedthis school year.Keeping School Clutter Under Control

Designating a place in one’s homefor papers and homework suppliesis one way to stay organized dur-ing the school year.

‘Making Contacts’“They take security very seri-

ously and have a responsive man-agement and maintenance staff,”she said. “And we have a Neigh-borhood Watch, so we have avested interest because we’re theones patrolling our own commu-nity. And the apartment complexpays for the lights outside ourapartments, so we have a sense ofsecurity because everything’s well-lit.”

O’Connor said National NightOut builds good community rela-tions between the county policeand the citizens. “It makes thepolice approachable,” she said.“And the police promote their Citi-zens Advisory Committee.”

Assistant Property ManagerCasey Buchanan said it was thecommunity’s fourth NationalNight Out celebration. “Westrongly believe in growing therelationship between our residentsand the local law enforcement andfire stations,” she said.

“Because of this great relation-ship with our local Sully Districtprecinct, we have a very activeNeighborhood Watch with severalpatrollers and window-watchersthat help keep our neighborhoodas safe as it can be,” continuedBuchanan. “We look forward to

keeping this great tradition [ofNational Night Out] alive andgrowing.”

She and her husband Mike havelived at The Elms five years. Hesaid this event “brings the commu-nity together and opens people’seyes to safety awareness. The po-lice here do a nightly patrol of thewhole area. This is a safe and kid-friendly neighborhood.”

Mount GileadCentreville’s Mount Gilead com-

munity is a small, but tightly knitneighborhood of 35 homes thatheld a National Night Out for thefirst time. And attendees includedSupervisor Frey and police fromthe Sully District Station.

Officer Michelle Alexander,who’s been at that station 11years, said it was “fun to be ableto get out into the community andtouch base with people you’venever met before. And it’s good todo so in more of a casual situationthan coming out to take a report.”

She also loved meeting all thechildren. “We gave out glow sticks,police rubber duckies, bubbles,kids’ sunglasses, fruit snacks andsquirt guns,” she said. “Theweather’s nice and this was a greatturnout, especially for theneighborhood’s first time.”

Alexander said people in North-ern Virginia are normally so busythat “coming out with your neigh-bors to chat and have a good timedoesn’t happen very often. So thisevent gives them a break to dothat. And the police are happy tobe a part of it to raise communityawareness and promote NationalNight Out and crime prevention.”

Resident Mariam Hooks orga-nized the whole shebang forMount Gilead, in Centreville’s His-

toric District. About 35 peoplecame and feasted on grilled ham-burgers, hot dogs and chicken, pluspasta and potato salads, fruits, veg-etables and desserts.

“We just organized our Neighbor-hood Watch program three yearsago,” she said. “Last year, we justdid the [porch] lights on; but thisyear, we wanted to get more in-volved. And now that we see hownice it turned out, we’ll do itagain.”

Hooks said National Night Out“brings awareness to the commu-nity and gets everybody out forthe social aspect, talking to theirneighbors. And it’s great to havethat police presence. The officerscome out and remind people howimportant Neighborhood Watchis. It’s good for the residents toget to meet the officers in our dis-trict; and if we ever need theirassistance, now we’ve met a lotof them.”

Public Notice – Environmental Permit

PURPOSE OF NOTICE: To seek public comment on a draft permit from the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to limit air pollution emitted by a facility in Fairfax County, Virginia.

Public comment period: August 14, 2014 to September 15 , 2014.

Permit name: State Operating Permit issued by DEQ, under the authority of the Air Pollution Control Board

APPLICANT Name, address and registration number: Syntech Technology, Inc., 7371 Lockport Place, Lorton, VA 22017, Registration No. 74042

Project description: Syntech Technology, Inc. has applied for a permit for the manufacturing of syntactic foam buoyancy mod-ules, which it already does, at the Lorton facility. Two permits are being proposed simultaneously as separate parts of a sin-gle document that together would regulate the operation of equipment to mix foam ingredients and equipment to form, fin-ish (smooth) and coat foam modules. The State Operating Per-mit part would regulate the use of a methylene chloride (MeCl) based solvent currently used to clean the mixing and forming equipment. In order for limitations on a pollutant defined as a Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP) by the Clean Air Act to be fed-erally enforceable, the limiting permit must be made available for public comment prior to being issued. Therefore, the State Operating Permit part of the subject document is available for public comment.

HOW TO COMMENT AND/OR REQUEST A PUBLIC HEAR-ING: DEQ accepts comments and requests for public hearing by hand-delivery, e-mail, fax or postal mail. All comments and requests must be in writing and be received by DEQ during the comment period. Submittals must include the names, mailing addresses and telephone numbers of the commenter/requester and of all persons represented by the commenter/requester. Only comments or requests for a public hearing regarding the State Operating Permit part (Part II) of the combined permits document will become part of the public comment record. A request for public hearing must also include: 1) The reason why a public hearing is requested. 2) A brief, informal state-ment regarding the nature and extent of the interest of the re-quester or of those represented by the requestor, including how and to what extent such interest would be directly and ad-versely affected by the permit. 3) Specific references, where possible, to terms and conditions of the permit with suggested revisions. A public hearing may be held, including another comment period, if public response is significant, based on in-dividual requests for public hearing, and there are substantial, disputed issues relevant to the permit.

CONTACT FOR PUBLC COMMENTS, DOCUMENT RE-QUESTS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: John McKie; DEQ Northern Regional Office, 13901 Crown Ct., Woodbridge, VA 22193; Phone: 703-583-3831; E-mail: [email protected]; Fax: 703-583-3821. The public may review the draft permit and application at the DEQ office named above or may request copies of the documents from the contact person listed above.

The biggest writing problem that Ihave, other than the ones you regularreaders generally know about, is writing acurrent column on the weekend immedi-ately preceding the next Wednesday’spublication date, when I am still waitingon results from my most recent CT Scan.This isn’t like putting the cart before thehorse, this is more like putting the horsein the cart and pulling it. Aside from notknowing definitively about this mostrecent look into my lungs, and thus notwanting to discuss it – premature annun-ciation you might call it – assimilating theever-present anxiety and worry aboutany and all things cancer-related nevergets easy. Moreover, the not-knowingcorrupts my brain and stifles my creativejuices. How can I think about anythingother than what information I don’thave? And considering the circumstancesand the context: my life being at stake;anything, everything, all the things, palein comparison and nothing feels worthwriting about – so that’s what I’m writingabout.

Let me attempt to clarify a bit. Thisfeeling isn’t about waiting for results perse. It’s not about the interval of timebetween my scan and my next face-to-face meeting with my oncologist whenTeam Lourie will be updated; it’s notabout wondering if any symptoms I’vehad (I haven’t had any) are indicative ofpotential trouble; it’s not about my insur-ance coverage or money running out andin turn there being some gap in my cov-erage; nor is this, generally speaking,about business or pleasure. No, this isabout living my day-to-day life when theelephant is not only in the room, it’s onyour shoulders, in your head, and every-where else it can possibly be.

Not that I’m totally blocked andunable to function; hardly. I am still incontrol of most of my bodily functionsand almost all of my activities of daily liv-ing, and when I get dressed, I am stillable to put my pants on one leg at a timelike everybody else with very little diffi-culty. In short, my life appears to be rela-tively normal. No one could tell by look-ing at me that I’m living on the edge,maybe the cusp, hopefully not precipice,of potentially life-changing information.The reality of this upcoming Friday’sappointment/reality so dominates mybrain that it’s practically impossible forme to mind anything but my own busi-ness, and what seems to suffer most iscreative pursuits, and unfortunately thatis reflected in this week’s column: ameandering (though not necessarilyintended to be) testament to cancer’sinsidious effect, emotionally. Cancer mayoccasionally work in mysterious ways,but in one way it’s effect is perfectlyclear: your thinking is not what is used tobe, pre-cancer.

Nevertheless, I can manage. It’s noproblem, really. After five and one halfyears, I know what to expect. It’s justtime that thankfully I still have. I’ll knowsoon enough though. It’s alreadyMonday. Besides, good things come tothose who wait, right?

in close proximity. It is important to notethat this is not a waiver home, but rather ahome for individuals with high supportneeds, so that the funding streams and thestaffing are need-based rather than arbi-trarily capped and subject to the uncertain-ties of budgeting in the General Assembly.The residents will have day programs aswell as access to medical and dental care,plus many additional supports that theirdisabilities require but that cannot be ac-commodated by the funding stream avail-able to a waiver group home.

Until the community has adequate place-ments for those with the most intensivesupport needs, please do not force NVTCresidents out of their homes. Build the nec-essary accommodations and supports firstor, better yet, maintain a right-sized NVTCin a smaller footprint on a portion of thepresent site, regardless of how many yearsit takes. We can do this in Northern Virginia:bring the various stakeholders together, aswe did in 2010 with the proposed NoVARegional Plan, to accomplish solutions thatmake sense for those who are medicallyfragile and behaviorally challenged. Let uskeep our loved ones here in Northern Vir-ginia, providing the care they need now andinto the future, when appropriate alterna-tives are built and ready. “First, do no harm.”
