Storm Water Management Ponds Safety Concerns Storm water management facilities, including dry ponds, are never safe places to play, sled, ice skate, swim, or fish. Please heed posted warning signs. Also, do not sled or ski near roads—help prevent accidents by reminding friends and family to avoid roads, ponds, and construction sites. See a Problem? Report It, Please! The large storm water management basins (“dry ponds”) throughout the community are maintained by Fairfax County. Although there are regular inspections of each of these facilities, local residents are often more aware when something is wrong. If you become aware of a maintenance issue regarding a storm water management facility, please notify the KROC Business Office. Also, problems can be reported to Fairfax County Stormwater Management by calling 703-877-2800 or through online form submission at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/ dpwes/utilities/sdrpt_form.htm. Pool Pals Recommend Minor Changes to Pool Rules The 2015 pool season is still a few months away, yet it’s a good time to reflect on changes that may improve the experience residents have when visiting the Kingstowne pools. below. In addition, since the pool rules are part of a policy resolution (#10 – Pool Rules), the revisions are also available in a marked-up draft to ensure the changes are easily identifiable. The Pool Pals Public Hearing Set for March 4 There is a group known as the Pools Pals that is focused on just that role. Membership is varied and includes several entities that have an interest in maximizing the pool experience for residents. It includes resident representatives who frequent each pool, along with representatives of the pool management company (NV Pools), the fitness management company (WTS), and the KROC staff. The proposed changes will be discussed during a public hearing which has been scheduled for Wednesday, March 4, at the Thompson Center. That meeting will begin at 6:30 P.M. Recommendations Proposed At the end of the 2014 pool season, the Pool Pals conducted a routine review of the pool rules and came up with a few recommendations. Those proposed revisions are summarized Summary of Substantial Proposed Changes in Policy Resolution #10: u Penalties for minor violations of the rules will be applicable to all patrons rather than just children; u A swimming proficiency test (25 meters) may be required of any patron who demonstrates questionable swimming skills in the main pool; u A non-swimmer of any age will not be allowed in the main pool without a supervising person within immediate reach; u The 15-minute break period each hour may be waived by the pool manger depending upon the number of patrons in each area of the pool, the number of lifeguards on duty, and the number of supervising adults accompanying children; u Information about swim lessons will no longer be included in the pool rules, but will continue to be provided in the Kingstonian and on the website. Comments Comments regarding the suggested revisions to the pool rules can be submitted to kingstowne@kingstowne. org or residents can present comments in person at the public hearing on March 4. For a copy of the proposed changes in Policy Resolution #10, please go to www.kingstowne.org or visit the KROC Business Office in the Thompson Center, 2nd floor.

The standard for KROC contractors to begin plowing is when two or more inches of snow have been recorded at Reagan National Airport. The size and duration of the storm will determine how the streets will be plowed. When the storm is dropping snow at a high rate and for a long period of time, the plowing crews will concentrate on opening up one lane until all the private streets have been opened. After the snow has stopped, crews will follow up with additional efforts to open as much of the street as possible. Plowing efforts may require more time during these larger storms. During plowing operations, efforts will be made to minimize snow piles at the mailboxes and behind vehicles. Icing typically requires no plowing; salt applications will be sufficient. The staff and plowing crews maintain a list of “hot spots” or areas where snow and ice are a particular problem due to shade, rapid freeze-thaws, or steep grades. These areas are typically pretreated with salt or special deicing materials and treated more often after a snow event. • Kingstowne Commons Dr. • Lake Village Drive • Park Village Dr. • Sir Viceroy Dr. • Kingstowne Blvd. • Summer Ridge Rd. • South Van Dorn St. (from Franconia Rd. to Telegraph Rd.) • Kingstowne Village Pkwy.

During periods of heavy snow, your patience is appreciated. What Can You Do to Help? • Shovel your sidewalks and driveways. • Park in garages, in driveways, or along main thoroughfares so trucks can plow more efficiently. • Keep your mailbox area clear from snow buildup or the postal carrier may not deliver mail. (See details in graphic below.) • Pretreat private lot areas that are prone to ice buildup with ecofriendly products. • Townhome residents: move shoveled snow to common turf areas instead of the street. • Most important, please be considerate of your neighbors regarding the placement when shoveling snow. Who’s Responsible? There are two organizations responsible for snow plowing on the streets throughout the Kingstowne community.

You look out the window to admire the landscaping and remember that it is winter and the landscaping is looking rather drab. The pro and college football season is but a memory, so you have time on your hands to do a little preparation to get your garden ready to plant in the spring. If you have perennials, such as liriope, aster, black-eyed Susans, fountain grasses, or Miscanthus grasses, just to name a few, these should be cut back to 4-6 inches for the winter to allow for new growth in the spring. Debris such as leaves, weeds, and dead branches should be removed from all bed areas. In winter, there is no yard photo by Roberta Conklin, KROC Grounds and Facilities Coordinator Winter Garden Cleanup waste pickup, but all other times of the year you should disposed of yard debris on Wednesdays in brown paper bags, clear bags, or black garbage bags marked with a white “X.” By removing debris from your landscape beds, you will remove a safe haven for insects and disease to nest over the winter in your garden. They can be detrimental to your plants come springtime when the weather warms up and pests become active. Winter pruning of crape myrtle too. Cut them back by removing all branches that are smaller than your pinky finger using a pair of sharp loppers or hand pruners depending on the size of the tree. If you have shrub roses, this is a great time to prune them back. This should be done annually during this time of the year to generate new growth and prolific flowering in the spring. Crape myrtles can be pruned at this time, So, finish up that cup of coffee, round up the family, and head into your yard to enjoy some family time and, in the process, get your landscape ready for the warmth in spring!

It incorporates unique learning sessions and fun musical rhythms that can help children learn valuable social skills as they learn to clean up, share, take turns, and transition from one activity to the next. Children love music and movement, and putting the two together creates an explosion of fun and learning. Children of all ages (primarily 1-5 years old) will have the chance to dance, sing, play with scarves, roll balls, wave ribbons, hit balloons, play various percussion instruments, have circle time, strum a ukulele or mandolin, do finger plays, learn lap rhymes, and much more. “Teaching children with music has been my passion and my creative outlet for twenty years, and I’ve been teaching organized classes going on five years now,” says Desrae Gibby, club leader. “Young children are like sponges and absorb even more when there is music and movement combined.” Learning Made Fun The primary goal of this club is for kids to have so much fun they don’t even know they are learning. They learn about the seasons, weather, days of the week, months of the year, the body, letters, money, counting, colors, holidays, and many other preschool themes with fun interactive songs. They even learn a little Spanish and German. Kids will get some exercise doing basic physical fitness skills-alternating quiet circle time and active movement. Kids will run, skip, jump, twirl, crawl, hop, and even do push-ups, situps, and jumping jacks. After all the excitement, they will cool down with a lullaby. Join Us – It’s FREE! If you get some time in your schedule next Wednesday from 10:30 A.M. to noon, make your way over to the Snyder Center to get your child energized with lively music and movements with an exceptional group of your Kingstowne neighbors.

Our challenge is to recycle 13 lbs. per week–or more! Re This initiative brought together over 30 Neighborhood Advisory Board representatives (NAB) in December, who took part in learning the key facts in reducing household waste. A NAB recycling task force is creating ideas for our neighborhoods to begin tackling this competition. Become a key player in the Recycla“Bowl” competition. With the assistance of your NAB representative, let’s arm our community with information on how to improve everyday habits for recycling waste. WL” Co O on What is the Recycla“Bowl” Competition? peti ti m A new recycling initiative will have all the neighborhoods working together this spring on a fun and rewarding way to recycle and reduce household waste. Kingstowne is launching a recycling competition on Earth Day, April 22, to create awareness in our community. Award is a free “shred it” day in the winning village’s community center. Working together we can improve our environmental impact and enhance our community. Trash and Recycle Reminders– Keeping it Clean in Kingstowne February is typically when we receive the bulk of winter snowfall. It pays to bundle yourself up on those cold, blustery days and the same rings true for your trash and recycling! Twice a week, every week, trash and recyclables are set out for collection throughout the community. Taking time to bundle up and secure items goes a long way toward keeping the community looking tidy on the designated pickup days. Clear Bags Help Store Your Trash During a period of heavy snowfall on a trash collection day, wait to set out trash and recycling until a time when you are sure a collection will take place. When trash is set out during Use a trash container that has a secure lid or use heavy duty black trash bags. White kitchen trash bags are easily torn open by birds, squirrels, and other critters. Line your recycling bin with a clear plastic trash bag and, on recycling day, set the closed bag of recyclables out for collection. You can even leave the bin at home. No more wind-blow bins of loose cans, newspapers, and milk jugs. Snowy Day–Keep It Away (From the Curb) KROC residents have a variety of receptacles available. On the left is a trash container, and on the right are two types for recyclables. a snowstorm or just after, trash may be buried or not collected. Incorporating these suggestions into weekly trash routines will help Kingstowne shine bright now and all the year through! Did You Know You Can Recycle Clean Parts of Pizza Boxes? Did you know over 80% of our regular household material is recyclable? For instance, the cardboard of a pizza box is recyclable, but when heavily soaked in oil the cardboard jams the recycling belts, causing delays on trash pickups and costs to the co company that are then forwarded to us. What can we do? Remove the oily stain by cutting it out and recycling the clean portion. Actions such as this can make a world of difference in our neighborhoods and in the life cycle of recyclables.

McKay, Lee District Supervisor 703-971-6262; [email protected] Anecdotal information can be compelling, feel absolutely right, and yet be wrong. That’s why early last summer I asked Lee District residents to tell me what they think about some of the key issues in Lee District and Fairfax County. Thank you to all who responded to my brief survey and thank you also for the additional comments that let me know your concerns or approval regarding specific transportation, zoning enforcement, and other issues that affect our daily life. Overall, I heard a lot of positives and while those are always good to hear, I also want to hear about our challenges so that we can help get them resolved. Here’s an overview of the five survey questions and responses. The first question asked correspondents to rank the importance of county services including schools, parks and libraries, transportation, human services, public safety, zoning enforcement, and environmental protection. The largest percentage of correspondents rank schools first, closely followed by transportation and public safety. The largest number of respondents want the state to increase K-12 education funding. A much smaller number of mail respondents favor raising property taxes while instituting a meals tax and cutting services ranked last. A number of respondents also support cutting programs. More than 50% of the county’s budget goes to fund our schools. While a majority of respondents agree that 50% is the right amount, there was also a substantial minority that would like to see county funding at a lower level. While respondents want to see expanded transit options, almost as many want road capacity expanded and a substantial number would like improved bicycle and pedestrian amenities. Most respondents prefer to get their Lee District news through my monthly e-newsletter although a substantial minority prefers a print newsletter and Facebook updates are also popular. While this survey is now closed, my door is not and I always welcome your thoughts and positions on issues. You can reach me at 703-971-6262 or [email protected].

If the funds were ever diverted to another purpose, the tax would be eliminated. Mark Sickles, Delegate, 43rd District 703-922-6440 [email protected] Funding Pre-K Education One of my focus areas for the 2015 General Assembly session will be helping Fairfax County secure early childhood education—or “pre-K”—funding. Overwhelming evidence has proven that investment in pre-K pays considerable dividends. In Virginia, too many four-yearolds are not prepared for kindergarten, and too many rising six-year-olds are not ready for first grade. The new VPI would encourage private providers to engage with their local school division to design programs that best suit local needs. The new VPI is parent-driven and gives maximum flexibility to provide accredited pre-K in different qualifying and safe venues. I encourage you to follow the session. If there is any bill you have concerns about please contact me at DelMSickles@ house.virginia.gov. To begin addressing the problem in 2005, the General Assembly began funding the Virginia Preschool Initiative (VPI) at one-half the cost with the locality responsible for the other half. Any child that qualifies for the federal free and reduced price lunch program is eligible. For a “rich” county like ours, that is as good a deal as we will likely ever get. However, since Fairfax schools are under enormous budget pressure, the school board could not take advantage of all the money we were eligible to receive, therefore my bill is intended to make it more attractive. My legislation builds on the existing $6,000 budgeted expenditure by providing a $2,500 tuition assistance grant (“4-TAG”) to the parents of each qualifying student. The combined $8,500 is intended to prompt partnerships and creativity by allowing the parent to designate it to the school division, a public-private partnership with the division, or another qualified private provider. The local school division would no longer be required to match the state’s contribution dollar for dollar, and the existing 25% “in-kind” contribution limitation is eliminated. In order to fund the $2,500 grants, a referendum would be placed on the ballot to raise funds from a dedicated source of revenue solely JOIN US AND FEEL GREAT!
