the Merry Merry Month of MAy

natalie roy and Lyon Park activists Louise rostker and Michael o’Connor on a spring day at the LPCC

n one of the most beautiful months of the year, the song, “While strolling in

the park one day”, popped into my head. This delightful old song, written in 1884, made me smile and think of our own com-munity park that has been part of the Lyon Park landscape since the 1920’s.

Together with the Lyon Park Community House, the Park is the cornerstone of our neighborhood. With its lovely mature trees, colorful azaleas, and green grass, it is the site of picnics, birthday parties, soccer games, graduation festivities, bake sales, craft shows, yard sales, musical events, informal gatherings and even weddings. It is where children play daily on playground equipment and swings and where many members of our community gather to enjoy a huge bonfire on Halloween night. In the Merry Merry Month of May the Park

and Community House are super busy serving as venues for special events includ-ing the Lyon Park Spring Fair (page 10), the Villas & Vistas Home and Garden Tour reception and the May LPCA and Board of Governors meetings. Add in Mother’s Day & Memorial Day, May is definitely a type A month.

During this fun month, I encourage all Lyon Parkers to consider patronizing the adver-tisers in our newsletter. These advertisers help our community by supporting the printing of this publication. Please take a minute to read their ads and consider their services or visit their excellent restaurants and shops. This issue also features a brand new Lyon Park Foodies Guide (page 8) listing a number of terrific dining places for the month of May. We intend to build this resource list and add an accompanying

map for residents later on this year!

So in the Merry Merry Month of May I leave you with the lyrics to the charm-ing song below! It might be old fashioned and cheesy but it brought a smile to my face and to everyone’s face in my family. I encourage you to sing it while walking through Lyon Park with a friend or family member or even by yourself. Nothing could be more pleasant and relaxing in the Merry Merry Month of May!

While strolling through the park one dayIn the merry merry month of MayI was taken by surpriseBy a pair of roguish eyesIn a moment my poor heart was stole awayA smile was all she gave to meOf course we were as happy as can beI immediately raised my hatAnd finally she remarkedI never shall forgetThat lovely afternoonI met her at the fountain in the parkWhile strolling through the park one dayIn the merry merry month of MayI was taken by surpriseBy a pair of roguish eyesIn the merry merry month of May

Lyon Park Funraising Update

appy Spring Lyon Park! With the Community Center adding yet another ring to its trunk, we are again focused on raising

the funds needed for a complete renovation. Here is our program status, in brief:

Program goal: Raise $100,000 in cash and new pledges in 2011. In 2010 we raised over $160,000, so the 2011 goal should be at-tainable with your support.

objective: Put ourselves in position to fund construction in 2012 (depending on final price tag)

Method:

events — Numerous volunteers across Lyon Park are driving numerous community events – everything from knife sharpening classes to golf outings to dinners to the first annual Lyon Park run! See calendar for details

direct donations — Personal donations remain the largest source of our funding. If you haven’t given yet, or can donate more, please do so. For a pledge form see www.lyonparkcitizens.org; to donate online, go to http://www.lyonpark.info/donations.html

Business support — We continue to receive strong support from local businesses, and will look to formalize this program in the next few months.

Current Status: We have already raised over $6,000 from per-sonal donations and events this year.

the Many Ways you Can help: Attend Lyon Park events, donate directly, host an event, help us on the fund raising committee … Help us make this a reality! Please contact John Fiske [email protected] for more information

pril and May are crazy months, with

unpredictable weather, school winding down, sum-

mer sports heating-up and the Lyon Park Fair

swiftly approach-ing. So much going

on and so little time! In addition, a number of neighbors are contributing time and resources toward the

design and financing of the Community House renovation. Your community leadership is looking for Lyon Park or Ashton Heights neighbors to set-up and administer the Community Investment Bonds program, which will bridge the dollar gap between the cur-rent balance of money raised and the funds required to complete construction. If you have skills to develop, administer, or market this essential stage of the Community House’s renovation, please contact me. (301) 908-8204.

Back to trees; Arlington has made a great decision to move the Annual Tree Distribution from Neighborhood Day in May to the fall season, likely November. As in years prior, we will be allowed to order, free of charge from among 4 different tree species, to be planted by dedicated Lyon Park volunteers! The calendar change benefits the baby trees which will have the entire winter and spring to prepare to survive next summer’s drought-like conditions. The move to the fall also grants me time to organize the ……Lyon Park Invitational Golf Tourney. If you are willing to play golf with neighbors and support the Community House’s fundraising effort, see my invitation elsewhere in this newsletter.

As you know we mulched our park’s 100 trees earlier this spring. Last month’s newsletter pictured our mulching workforce (p. 8). The event gave me ample time to assess the condition of the park’s trees. We have some very handsome young trees, especially the 10 young studs planted 5 years ago by Dr. Perez’s gift to the commu-nity. There are also some amazing mature trees, numbered among

Arlington’s largest trees, notably our two Co-Champion White Ash trees and our massive Willow Oak.

Regrettably, we also have several stressed and declining trees in the park center and near the playground area. Hopefully the mulch will slow the demise of these trees, but their decline is irreversible. Replacement trees need to be planted today to eventually restore the tree canopy lost when these trees are gone. We are all stew-ards of our park’s trees. Our mini-forest preceded us by many years and will remain long after our time. It is our responsibility to pass-on a healthy park to our children’s children. To help replenish our park’s declining tree canopy, we have applied for Lyon Park to be considered as a grant recipient from Arlington County’s Tree Can-opy Fund. The program was created to help the restore county’s urban forest to 40% tree canopy coverage by providing individual grants of up to $8,000 to be used to purchase and plant future canopy trees on private property within the county. Replenishing Lyon Park’s tree canopy can contribute significantly to achieving the goal. You can help me sell the merits of Lyon Park’s application by writing a short note indicating why you think Lyon Park should be

Long Branch elementary updateWith Spring Break behind us, Long Branch students have returned to school, ready to knock out the last two months! Where has the year gone?

Speaking of where have the years gone, Ms. Russo celebrated her 20th year with Long Branch this year. She was surprised by an assembly that included a slideshow and serenades, and was presented with two memory books full of letters and drawings from current and past students. Thank you to Ms. Russo for 20 years of guiding our neighborhood kids!

Before heading out on break, Long Branch students had the op-portunity to plant beds of lettuce as part of an amazing new garden project called Lawns 2 Lettuce 4 Lunch. Hopefully, we’ll soon see lettuce beginning to fill the beds. The lettuce will be harvested for lunch at school on June 14th. Thank you to all the neighborhood families who are growing lettuce along with the school. If you’d like more information about the program or about the day the lettuce will be served, contact Hillary Berlin (703-525-2978/[email protected]) or Susan Schlimme (703-528-5950/ [email protected]).

The beginning of May also brought Long Branch’s annual Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week. Teachers were treated to breakfast and lunch. Students had the opportunity to bring in flowers for teachers and staff and also add stickers to a sign at the entry to the school. Hopefully, our awesome staff and teachers know we ap-preciate them all year long, but it’s nice to have a chance to make sure we tell them!

Mid-May also brings the annual Standards of Learning tests for Grades 3-5. If you have a student in those grades, remember that a good night’s sleep and a good breakfast go a long way towards making it a good testing day. Once the students get past those, it’s only a few more weeks until the summer break.

There’ll be one last PTA meeting this year. One major item on the

agenda will be to vote in the new officers for next year. Come to the meeting and see what other exciting opportunities there are to help support Long Branch in the next school year. PTA meetings are generally the first Tuesday of the month and are held in the library at 7:30pm. All are welcome.

Seriously, where did this year go?

Book Reviewthe red Queen, Sex and the evo-lution of human natureByMattRidleyHarperPerennial,NY,NY,2003.OriginallypublishedinBritainunderPenguinin1993.$14.99.Paperback,349pp

I found The Red Queen fascinating, despite author

Matt Ridley’s admission that many aspects of it would be proven wrong as science advances our understanding of the genome and its impact on animal and human behavior. He is convinced that the body is “merely an evolutionary vehicle for the gene” to replicate itself. He has distilled this into “any-thing that increases reproductive success will spread at the expense of anything that does not—even if it threatens survival.” He uses peacocks as a demonstration: the fan tail is counter-indicated for survival, but peahens like it, so peacocks have evolved big, colorful tails. His startling conclusion is that human intellect is the product of sexual competitiveness rather than pure natural selection since his-torically big brains contributed to reproductive success by enabling men and women to outwit, i.e., out-procreate, others.

For a gazelle to avoid being eaten by lions, the gazelle must run faster than the other gazelles. Ridley believes man’s brain devel-oped the same way. He shows that, while asexual reproduction is more efficient and more productive, sexual reproduction provides many benefits to compensate for its inefficiency, such as DNA repair or increased resistance. Sex simply compensates for bad mutations, since in asexual reproduction a bad mutation would pass directly to all the offspring, handicapping all subsequent generations. For Ridley men are not redundant; they are women’s insurance policy against her children being wiped out by bacterial or viral infections.

Ridley then goes on to discuss the power of those predators. The great war of 1914-18 killed 25 million people in four years, but the influenza epidemic that followed killed 25 million in four months. Constantly mixing the host gene pool reduces the probability that a virulent strain can successfully wreak havoc. Survival is a constant running battle however, with both sides updating their weapons to have a temporary advantage over the other. This continuing evolu-tion is the basis for the name of the book. “The Red Queen” refers to the Alice in Wonderland character who is running quickly but is not getting anywhere because everything around her is mov-ing as fast as she is. One corollary is that man should not create inbred strains of strains or animals since their inability to defend themselves against bacteria and viruses is an invitation to eventual disaster.

Another corollary is that the variety in human gene pools explains why specific medicines, foods, environmental conditions, affect people dif-ferently. The Red Queen helps us understand why we are unique.

Lyon Park’s

Annual Spring Faireighbors and friends, pull out your calendar and make sure that you’ve reserved the day – Saturday May 21st – because you

certainly wouldn’t want to miss the Annual Lyon Park Spring Fair!!

The Spring Fair includes all of the typical carnival/fair games such as the ring toss, duck pond, bottlecan knock-down, guess the number, bean bag toss, and so on. In addition to the game booths, the fair also includes pony rides and moon bounces for the kids, a fantastic bake sale, and a plant sale. Even better – our Lyon Park Spring Fair serves up some of the best concession food you’ll get anywhere in the country! Come and spend lunch with your neighbors, play some games, get some beautiful plants and gardening supplies – all this and you can have your cake too! And don’t forget the Big Wheels Derby following the fair!!While we’ve had a lot of great folks sign-up to volunteer, we can still use more help.

Games/Booths: We need volunteers to staff the games and booths for 2-hour shifts from either 11 am to 1 pm or from 1 pm to 3 pm. Please e-mail Polly Hall at [email protected] or call directly at 703-527-6521 to volunteer.

Concessions: We need people in the kitchen and to handle money/payment for concessions. Each of these 10 persons will be asked to help for a 2-hour shift from either 11 am to 1 pm or from 1 pm to 3 pm. Feel free to connect directly with Shirley Law-son, our Concession Planning Queen Supreme, at [email protected] to volunteer for concession help!

Plant Sale: In advance donations of anything gar-dening related would be very appreciated – tutieres; potted plants (plain to fancy); gardening books; gently used gardening clothing; useable hoses, rakes, hoes, and other equipment; seedlings; seeds; trees; and such. Donations can definitely still be coordinated with Kit & Gary Putman who can be reached via [email protected]. Night before/morning of donations can even be dropped off to the Willow Oak tree at Lyon Park the morning of the event!

It is also exciting to know that we’ll have live bluegrass music playing at the Spring Fair this year compliments of Capital Area Bluegrass and Old-Time Music Association – including the opportunity to handle and play bluegrass instruments!

I look forward to seeing everyone out enjoying the fair. Thanks to those of you helping out to make this day all it can be for our com-munity! See you out at Lyon Park on Saturday, May 21st!

Communally Yours,—Polly hall

the grAnd Prix iS right Around the Corner

Mark your calendars for the 3rd Annual Lyon Park Grand Prix. Meet at the corner of N Garfield St and 2nd Rd N at 3:00 pm on May 21 (the day of the Lyon Park Fair). Adults and kids, bring your big wheels (tricked out big wheels and other vehicles are allowed - just remember wheels must be plastic - no tires).

Go to www.lpgrandprix.com to register and get all of the details. Entry fee of $25 includes multiple heats and a race t-shirt.

Community Fun

TreeTop News awarded one of the grants. I will collect and present your endorsements to the Tree Canopy Fund Review Board in June.

In addition to receiving notes of support, I also welcome your ideas about where new trees should be located. Construction work will disturb land sur-rounding the Community House, so nothing new should be planted nearby. The park’s northeastern corner will someday be defined by the London Plane trees donated by Dr. Perez. The trees in the northwestern corner of the park are in relatively good health. The trees located in the central park, playground and southeastern are in decline and several will be gone within 10 years. These areas and the southern border of the park are great candidates for new trees planted this fall. While the park’s Board of Governors will officially approve the location of future plantings, we welcome your ideas.
