The Connection

Forget the jitterbug, the moonwalk or thejive. In Burke, country western dance isKing. At the Accotink Unitarian Universal-ist Church on Aug. 8, one would not find

people worshipping, but havingthe time of their lives learning howto line dance.

With their members adornedwith floppy cowboy hats andleather cowboy boots, the North-ern Virginia Country WesternDance Association (NVCWDA) hasbeen around since 1986. It is anon-profit organization for peoplewho share the love of CountryWestern Dance.

During these past 24 years, thegroup has been teaching, expand-ing and preserving the style ofCountry Western Dance.

Country western dance embodies many otherdance styles, but is danced to the tune of countrymusic. Many steps can be traced back to historicaldances such as the “Virginia Reel” and can date backto the time of the American Revolution.

The membership board of the NVCWDA takes pridein hosting the dances in a family-friendly, non-smok-ing, and non-drinking environment. “It’s really justabout enjoying the dance and letting people knowabout country dance,” said Bo Marlin, dance direc-

Susan Burry of Lorton has just started line dancing. Thisis her second time at a NVCWDA event. ‘It is a lot of fun.Everyone is friendly, I love it.’ Her dance partner, KeithBuckle, of Fairfax Station is a regular with his wife Linda.‘We’ve been members of NVCWDA for 15 years and don’tmiss a dance.’

tor and NVCWDA vice president.“I started dancing back in 2001 and loved it, but it

took about five years to actually come to one of these[dances],” said Linda Wallace of Fairfax.

Many of the country dance lovers enjoy the socialaspects of these events almost as much as the danc-ing and music itself. “Line dancing is very easy to doand relaxing, but the best part is the people,” PatMcMurray of Fairfax, who has been attending coun-try western dances since the establishment of theNVCWDA IN 1986. “We’ve all been friends for a longtime.”

First timers might be apprehensive about tryingthe country western dance style.However, whatever awkwardnessor hesitation they might havewhen they first arrive is wipedaway by the friendly and inclu-sive atmosphere of the organiza-tion. Many members, includingJack Wallace of Fairfax, come forthe exercise. Although Jane Boilsof Burke claims that the dancers,“glisten and don’t sweat.”

NVCWDA dances usually takeplace on the first, third and fifthSaturdays of the month, and lastfrom about 7:30-11 p.m. Before

open dance begins at 8:30 p.m., followed by couplesdancing at 8 p.m. Dance instructor Scotty Inman,who has been teaching country western dance formore than 10 years, gives line dancing lessons at7:30 p.m.

Each dance draws about 50 to 60 people.Along with the typical dances, the NVCWDA also

hosts benefit dances once a year. This year, all theproceeds went to Fischer House, a charity that en

New Book Recounts Topgun MemoriesBurke man pens memoirs about days as aU.S. Navy ‘fighter jock.’

By Nick Botero

The Connection

After taking off of a naval aircraftcarrier in the Indian Ocean, Dave“Bio” Baranek, then 23, and hispilot soon found themselves in a

near fatal encounter. Upon landing back onthe carrier they had brought the F14 Tom-cat fighter jet in too fast and were about tofall into the ocean trapped inside over 30tons of metal.

“I immediately knew something bad hap-pened. ‘Eject, eject!’” said Baranek, recall-ing the near death experience. Both menon the plane were shot 80 feet above thewater and parachuted to a safe landing.

This is just one of the many firsthand ac-counts of first time author and celebratednaval flight officer retiree Baranek, 51, ofBurke, in his book “Topgun Days: Dogfight-ing, Cheating Death, and Hollywood Gloryas One of America’s Best Fighter Jocks”published last June. Baranek, who served20 years in the Navy as a fighter pilot and

recorded more than 1,000 hours of flighttime, offers his audience a perspective oflife above the clouds as viewed from twotimes the speed of sound. Provided along-side the text are photographs that providethe reader with an intimate look at the ex-periences of a fighter pilot both in and outof the cockpit.

“I wrote the book to give people a senseof what it is to be in the Topgun squadron,fly these magnificent jet fighters and to con-vey the teamwork and camaraderie in-volved in the missions I took part of,” saidBaranek.

Mark Weinstein, senior editor at SkyhorsePublishing, was interested in publishing“Topgun Days” for several reasons. “Davehad a unique perspective,” he said. “It wasa more current and fresh take on aviationthan other books written on the subject andhis involvement in the making of the movie‘Top Gun’ was a good hook”.

During his service in the Navy, Baranekbuilt up an impressive résumé. He was oneof only 451 men presented with the Wings

of Gold in 1980 upon completing his train-ing as a Radar Intercept Officer (RIO) atthe Naval Air Station Pensacola (Fla.) At 24,he went on to train in the Topgun programreserved for only the premier Naval Flight

officers at the N.A.S. Miramar (Calif.) Twoyears later, he became an instructor at thatsame school. He described his days of teach

ing in the Topgun program as “a humbling honor,what an experience.”

One story not included in thebook is one of his most fascinat-ing. In a dogfight practice, inwhich the two teams look to takeeach other out, Baranek foundhimself on the disadvantagedteam. With simulation missilesgunning for them he relied on in-stinct and released decoys to drawthe missiles away while his pilotmade daring turns at top speedsallowing them to take out three ofthe five remaining planes beforelanding unscathed. “I can still see that in my head,we were low, really low. I could see sagebrush andcactus and we were going 400 miles per hour, it wasjust as cool as can be.”

Then, in 1985, executives from Paramount filmscame to the Miramar naval station with an idea for amovie. For the next few months. Baranek and theother members of the station were in close contactwith the cast and crew of the soon to be blockbuster“Top Gun.” His participation in the making of themovie included being involved in some of the aerialsequences that appeared in the film and helping towrite dialogue for the characters.

Baranek and other instructors attended the West

Coast benefit premier of the film at Miramar inhonor of the men that made the movie possible.“We were there with the actors and crew,” Baraneksaid. “It was exciting.”

In the book are several pic-tures of Baranek with some ofthe stars of the movie. His wifeLaura Baranek is captured plant-ing a kiss on Tom Cruise’s cheek.

Later in his career. DaveBaranek would be given evenmore responsibility in leading aTopgun squadron of 300 menand 14 aircraft totaling over$700 million. By the time he was32, he was writing classified ar-ticles and reports in Washington,D.C., regularly presenting brief-

ings to Gen. Colin Powel and Vice President DickCheney (R).

“I wrote the book togive people a senseof what it is to be inthe Topgunsquadron.”

Wrapping Up the Summer at All StarsNVSL’s final meetof summer is a mixof fun, pride, sadness.

By Rich Sanders

The Connection

All kinds of emotions unfurled atlast Saturday’s Northern VirginiaSwimming League (NVSL) AllStars meet. The official, summer

season-ending event, in which the league’stop swimmers gathered from early morn-ing until mid to late afternoon, took placeon Aug. 7 at the Broyhill Crest Swim Club,a cozy, suburban pool site nestled inAnnandale’s back roads.

A sense of sadness underscored the re-nowned postseason showcase event, be-cause it not only played out the final hoursof the summer season, but it also spelledthe end of the careers for those swimmerswho would soon be turning age 18 andtherefore no longer be eligible to competeon their respective teams anymore in thefuture.

In addition, a get-down-to-businessmindset perpetrated the pool and its sur-rounding area as the athletes prepared togive it their best shots in their respectiveevents. For Northern Virginia’s top boys’ andgirls’ swimmers, from the 8-and-underyoungsters all the way up to the 18-yearolds home from college for the summer, theshowcase event was a meaningful, competi-tive super meet and a chance to shineamong peers.

Most of all, the postseason swim affair,which takes place annually one week fol-lowing the NVSL Divisional Championships,was a celebration of sorts of the summerseason. During the early morning hours ofSaturday’s championships at Broyhill, theswimmers, adult volunteers, and family andfriends bristled with anticipation at the

Top swimmers from all across the NVSL gathered at Broyhill Swim Clubin Annandale for the season-ending All Stars meet. Here, boys competein a backstroke race.

long, fun day of swim action ahead.All in all, All Stars is the highlight of the

summer swim season and a smashing finaleto the NVSL season.

“All Stars is a great endto the season,” said HansJohnsen, an assistantcoach at Sideburn Run inFairfax. “It’s the fruit ofyour labor.”

THE DAY’S RACES be-gan shortly following thecolor guard presenta-tions, which took place ataround 8:30 a.m. Thepre-meet formalities, inwhich young Cub Scouts, with the UnitedStates flag held high, marched in formation,was highlighted by the insertion of the flaginto a holder attached to the back of theclubhouse. Spectators, adults and young-sters alike watched silently as adult Chris

Leonard, the 855 Cub Scout pack leader,put the flag in its rightful place. Thereafter,the Pledge of Allegiance was recited fol-

lowed by the playing ofthe National Anthem.

The Cub Scout colorteam then marched out.Cub Scout participantsin the pre-meet honorswere siblings Jackson(9) and Ryan (7)Mueller from pack 150,Ed Cochrane (11) frompack 875 and a youngboy named Parker, age10, from pack 855.Leonard and his wife,

Anna, oversaw the youngsters performingthe ceremonies.

All Stars is not so much about winningand losing as much as it is swimmers giv-ing their best efforts. By season’s end, mostswimmers have improved immensely in

their respective events. Those who swim thebest at the divisional championships qualifyfor All Stars, where the top eight boys’ andgirls’ swimmers compete in their respectiveage category events.

“You get to see kids you have been spend-ing and working all summer with performat All Stars,” said Johnsen, the Sideburn Runassistant who saw his Division 6 team fin-ish 4-1 during the regular season. “You wantto help them develop.”

The NVSL stresses fun and camaraderiethroughout the summer season. Teams aremade up of youngsters of various ages andskill levels. Some summer team memberscompete year round for club teams and ex-perience firsthand the highly competitiveside of swimming. Some of the older NVSLswimmers compete on club teams as wellas for their college teams, giving a signifi-cant amount of energy towards improvingin their sport.

So, summer time swimming with theirrespective NVSL teams is often a “swim get-away” for year round athletes, a league inwhich they can step back and enjoy them-selves again without the incredible pressureof having to win a particular meet or earn apersonal-best time. In a way, swimmers goback to their swim routes within the NVSL.They get to see old friends they’ve grownup with and get to experience team socialfunctions. Hopefully, summer swimmingallows youngsters to rekindle their love forswimming.

JACK SCHAEFFER, one of Saturday’s AllStars meet directors, said bringing the topNVSL swimmers to the season-ending show-case event makes for a wonderful seasonfinale.

“All Stars is popular because, for the onlytime of the year, the top swimmers in theleague come to one meet,” said Schaeffer, aSpringfield resident. “We’re fortunate tohave some off the top swimmers in the area

here.”Schaeffer said the NVSL continues to emphasize

the importance of good sportsmanship throughoutthe season and at All Stars. One team from each ofthe 17 NVSL divisions, in fact, earns a team sports-manship award.

“It’s love of the sport and sportsmanship that sur-rounds this event,” said Schaeffer. “Those [aspects]have been so important in this event taking off.”

He was thrilled with the way in which BroyhillCrest took charge and successfully ran Saturday’s AllStars meet.

“Pools like Broyhill, which stand up and decide tohost a meet like this, is the key,” he said. “All thecredit for pulling things off goes to the host schooland the [140] volunteers [all around Northern Vir-ginia] who came out one more week. You have[event] marshals, timers, officials, table workers andmore.”

Schaeffer said Bob York, the long-time public ad-dress announcer at All Stars, did a wonderful jobcalling the races.

“His enthusiasm for swimming radiates throughthe entire crowd which is fabulous,” said Schaeffer.

Applauding IngenuityTo the Editor:

Bravo to Daniel Hill and his teammates for devel-oping a simple and relatively inexpensive way to sepa-rate oil from water [“A Call to Action,” Burke Con-nection, July 22-28, 2010], a tool that can be quicklyand easily manufactured and put to work on the oilspill in the Gulf of Mexico. Their accomplishment isa testament to the untapped ingenuity and creativitythat has long been a hallmark of the American people.(And it underscores the sheer impotence and incom-petence of BP and the federal government.) What ashame that Congress and the White House are morefocused on keeping corporate quarterly profits highrather than on making the United States a better,cleaner and safer place for all of us. It’s high time forour government to nurture the ample talent in ourown backyard to develop sustainable clean-energytechnology.

Suzanne Smith SundburgArlington

Federal RevenueTo the Editor:

There is a lot of recent discussion about the fed-eral deficit but almost none about federal revenue,mandatory spending, discretionary (optional) spend-ing, and Bush era tax subsidies.

Estimated federal revenues for 2010 are $2.4 tril-lion and federal spending is $3.57 trillion. Manda-tory Spending (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid,plus) is $2.2 trillion, and discretionary spending (de-fense, ºtwo wars, education, homeland security (im-migration), NASA, art, culture, manufacturing incen-tives, agricultural subsidies, government services, etc.is $1.37 trillion. Of that $1.37 trillion, defense is $722billion for 2010 and everything else put together is$648 billion.

Nearly all U.S. annual federal revenue ($2 trillion)goes towards Social Security, Medicare and “Medic-aid. The $722 billion defense budget for 2010 andall other programs ($648 billion) rely on borrowingmoney and adding to the deficit.

With all this in mind, 11th District CongressionalCandidate Keith Fimian (R) and GOP leadership inboth the Congress and Senate haveaggressivelyºcomplained about deficit spending whileignoring the Bush era tax cuts that by themselveshave accounted for $2.4 trillion of deficit spendingover the last 10 years. A GOP filibuster in the Senaterecently defeated a bill to give broad based $30 bil-lion in tax breaks to small businesses, thereby block-ing their ability to hire and create jobs, but are fight-ing for repealing the estate tax at a cost of $300 bil-lion to $700 billion over 10 years and $678 billion intax breaks over 10 years for people making over$250,000 per year. This is the price for renewing Bushera tax cuts for the wealthiest 2 percent of societywhile Americans are fighting two wars, and, for thisyear, the estate tax is $0.00 for millionaires and bil-lionaires. Renewing all the Bush era tax cuts for ev-eryone would cost between $6 trillion between 2012and 2022.

If America is to pay her bills, reduce the deficit,create jobs and encourage domestic manufacturing,tax breaks for the wealthiest should end before foodstamps for the hungry. Giving away trillions in taxbreaks and subsidies, while focusing attention onprograms that are less than one-one-thousandth ofthat, short changing small businesses, the middle classand the poor is not how you reduce the deficit.

Draft Finding of No Significant ImpactCommunity Support Center Development

U.S. Army Garrison, Fort BelvoirDirectorate of Public Works,

Fort Belvoir, Virginia

Name of Action: Construction of a New Commissary, Exchange, and Future Mixed Use Development

Description of Proposed Action and Need: As Fort Belvoir continues to support the National Capital Area, enhanced and ex-panded shopping and dining services on the Installation will be necessary to provide high quality, reliable services and ameni-ties to all eligible patrons including military retirees. The Army and Air Force Exchange Service and the Defense Commissary Agency propose to construct and operate a new 132,000 square foot Commissary and 270,000 square foot Post Exchange at Fort Belvoir, Virginia as part of the Community Support Center area. This area will also include future mixed use development, as part of the Community Support Center area.

The proposed action involves constructing new facilities and associated sidewalks, parking areas, access roads and necessary utilities, and the demolition of the old Commissary and Exchange facilities. The new facilities would be located on the Upper North Post in an area bounded by John J. Kingman, Gunston, Gorgas and Woodlawn Roads designated as the Community Support Center area. The site for the new Exchange would encompass approximately 35 acres, and the future, adjacent Com-missary would be located on approximately 21.5 acres. The mixed use development would be located in the southeastern area on approximately 32-35 acres.

The Environmental Assessment (EA) evaluated the proposed action alternative. During early phases of planning, other sites on Fort Belvoir were considered for the new Commissary and Exchange but were dismissed for several reasons including incon-venient access, the timing for availability of the site, and potential environmental impacts. Consideration was given to the reno-vation of the existing facilities, however, the physical layout and functionality of the facilities after renovation, access logistics and the costs based on the facility condition assessments for the existing buildings resulted in rejection of the alternative to ren-ovate. A No Action (No Build) alternative was also considered but would not meet the needs of customers from the National Capital Area. The proposed action alternative provides two site options for the layout of the new facilities within the Community Support Center Area.

Environmental Consequences: The Environmental Assessment, which is attached hereto and incorporated by reference into this Finding of No Significant Impact, examined the potential effects of the proposed action and no action alternative on areas of land use, air quality, noise, geology and soils, water resources, biological resources, cultural resources, socioeconomic resour-ces, transportation, utilities and hazardous and toxic materials.

Best management practices (BMPs) and adherence to applicable policies/regulations that would be implemented for resource protection are included with discussions of each respective resource area in the EA. No mitigation measures for effects on air quality, topography, or utilities would be required. Air pollutant emissions from the proposed action would not be significant and would be below de minimis levels for general conformity. Mitigation measures identified in the environmental assessment for ef-fects included:

Transportation and Traffic: During the design phase, access point and intersection improvements to include turning lanes for delivery and patron entrances, signal sequencing, stop-control or signal control would be incorporated as appropriate to off-set the long- term minor adverse impacts to traffic which may occur in the vicinity of the Community Support Center. Construction traffic is not anticipated to have a significant impact.

Natural Resources: It is the intent of DeCA and AAFES to construct their projects with no impacts to streams or Resource Protection Areas. The Army would revegetate disturbed areas with native species as appropriate. Low Impact Development and LEED® Silver standards would be incorporated in the site-specific development of stormwater management. Stable out-falls would be provided and stream banks stabilization and/or restoration of the receiving stream channel would occur prior to receipt of water. The project would identify candidate areas for removal of existing impervious surface and use pervious paving materials as feasible to offset the increase of impervious surfaces resulting from development of Fort Belvoir.

Tree Restoration Plan would be developed to include the protection of mature and significant trees and the replacement of trees; approximately 4,725 trees would be replanted within designated locations. Although future mixed use development is planned for previously disturbed/developed areas, additional clearing and tree removal may occur and would be required to comply with the Fort Belvoir Tree Replacement Policy. Other potential mitigation activities could include repairing and restoring habitat condition, or conservation of other lands to mitigate impacts for loss of wildlife habitat; and the removal of invasive/exotic vegetation from riparian areas and adjoining upland areas. Scheduling land clearing activities for site preparations outside of the nesting season for Partners In Flight recognized birds would also benefit species using vegetation communities within limits of disturbance.

Potential habitat for the small whorled pogonia (Isotria medeoloides) occurs within the Community Support Center area. Small whorled pogonia has not been found in previous surveys of the area. Future surveying to determine the presence of small-whorled pogonia would be conducted as necessary prior to ground disturbing activity for new facilities and associated infrastruc-ture. If small whorled pogonia is located within the limits of disturbance for proposed action, coordination with Fish and Wildlife Service and Virginia Department of Conservation Resources would be necessary. No other rare, threatened or endangered species or their habitat would be affected by the proposed action for either option.

Cultural Resources: The proposed action is not expected to have an adverse impact on cultural resources under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Fencing and a 50-ft buffer surrounding Lacey Cemetery would provide protection from construction activities related to the proposed action. The buffer would also provide a vegetated screen of the development from the cemetery. Monitoring would occur to prevent inadvertent impacts.

Land Use: Offsets would include planting of native or naturalized plants with consideration of LEED® concepts; thermal shad-ing of interior parking areas with large islands of vegetation; and the creation of neighborhood outdoor space.

Hazardous Materials and Solid Waste: Three Petroleum Storage Areas, one active and two inactive, have been identified within the proposed project site. Remediation of the sites would be integrated into the construction phase of the project in con-cert with the site preparation and earthwork features for minimal impact. Asbestos and lead based paint surveys would be re-quired before demolition of the Commissary and Exchange.

Solid Waste: Solid waste management would include training on eligible materials for recycling municipal solid waste and the incorporation of recycling requirements for construction demolition debris into all contracts for outside construction contractors.

Sustainability: The Commissary and Exchange would be constructed to LEED® Silver standards and would incorporate sus-tainable strategies to include using innovative energy conserving techniques, including: High performance and sustainable building, Low Impact development strategies, requirements of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the Energy Independence and Se-curity Act of 2007 and Executive Orders (EO) 13423 and 13514. Strategies would be incorporated into the design, construction, and operation of the facilities. Pervious paving materials would also be incorporated during the design phase.

Utilities: Construction would be designed to meet EO 13423 total operational reduction goals for energy and water conserva-tion. Rain catchment systems would also be incorporated during the design phase for use in irrigation of landscaping.

Noise: Noise levels would be minimized by limiting construction to weekday business hours, and by using mufflers on con-struction equipment.

Summary of Environmental Impacts: No impacts are expected to floodplains, wetlands, cultural resources, socioeconomics, or land use/sustainability. Minimal impacts to air quality, noise, soils, surface water, water quality, vegetation, migratory bird species including Partner in Flight species, hazardous materials, solid waste, utilities, Chesapeake Bay Resource Protection Areas, are expected as a result of policies, regulations, and mitigation measures described above that would minimize the ef-fects of the proposed action. No significant cumulative impacts or indirect impacts are anticipated. No significant impacts on human health or the environment would result from the proposed action.

Notice of Availability: The public may review the Environmental Assessment at the Directorate of Public Works, Fort Belvoir, Virginia; the John Marshall Public Library; Kingstowne Public Library; Lorton Public Library; Sherwood Regional Library; City of Fairfax Regional Library, Van Noy Library; or on the Installation website at: http://www.belvoir.army.mil.

Interested parties may submit written comments for consideration on or before 30 days after publication of newspaper an-nouncements, to Commander, U.S. Army Garrison, Fort Belvoir, 9430 Jackson Loop, Suite 100, ATTN: Directorate of Public Works, Fort Belvoir, Virginia 22060-5116 or e-mail comments to [email protected].
