Hunter Mill Highlights from Supervisor Cathy Hudgins
Dear Hunter Mill Friends,
Back in the 1980’s the Reston Black Focus, a civic organization, developed the idea of a sister city relationship with Nyeri, a county in Kenya. The main emphasis was on educa-tion. A series of interesting events took place. Restonian Johnny Early and her then spouse, a Peace Corp worker, were living in Nyeri and were able to acquire land for a camp for children with disabilities. Through that experience a delegation of special educa-tion teachers from Nyeri came to Reston to visit schools. They received training in special education. However, this partnership became inactive in the early 1990s.
In view of the prior relationship between Nyeri and Reston, two Reston residents, formerly from Nyeri, approached the Hunter Mill District office seeking help in restoring the Nyeri, Kenya partnership in Reston.
Speed forward and I am pleased to note that a delegation from Nyeri, Kenya arrived in Fairfax County on June 4
th. County staff members from Health and Human Services, Plan-
ning and Zoning and Solid Waste shared information across their disciplines. They toured the Reston Town Center and thoroughly enjoyed the views, the people, and the food. They were excited about Fairfax County and anxious to learn as much as possible. County staff has met with them to discuss an array of issues ranging from Health and Human Services, to Planning and Zoning. This cooperation will be of mutual benefit to Reston and Nyeri. Both localities will exchange ideas and best practices on governing issues. A great start for a long term future relationship.

Furniture, custom jewelry, textiles, baking, coffee roasting and 3D printing - these are all examples of the kinds of artisanal manufacturing and small-scale production that are on the rise and bring new vibrancy to the com-munities where they reside.

Please join us for the Made in Fairfax Forum to hear from Ilana Preuss of Recast City - a national leader in the small-scale production industry - and discuss how Fairfax County’s creative entrepreneurs, property owners and residents could benefit from this innovative blend of economic and community development.

James Madison High School’s Students for Environmental Action Club “Stream Team” were featured in the Washington Post for their program to reintroduce brook trout in Virginia streams. Working with Trout Unlimited, a non-profit dedicated to preserving and improving fish habitat, the students collected data on stream conditions, narrowed down their search to the most viable streams, released their classroom-raised fingerling trout, and returned to the site months later to see their results. Trout released last winter were sighted! The Stream Team will continue its with its mission to revive brook trout in Virginia’s streams.
