This week’s Reston Pet of the Week is Treat, a little kitty who was found around Halloween. The volunteers at Fancy Cats Rescue Team have been caring for him. Here is what they have to say:
Treat and his siblings, Trick, Pumpkin and Candy, were found without their mom on Halloween, and we estimate they were around 2 weeks old.
Treat is very outgoing and curious and has no fear! He leads the litter in most new activities and is willing to try anything. When he slows down long enough he is very affectionate and purrs up a storm. Being a bottle-fed baby, he and his siblings love people and are very trusting. They are friendly with everyone and are happy to be picked up and carried around, so they would do GREAT with kids over 6!
Although Treat has not been around a dog, we think he could adjust to a gentle one easily. He and his siblings are bonded and he would love to go home with one of them.
As you can see in his pictures he is a handsome little guy with that gorgeous cream colored fur. We are sure he will be adored by the lucky family that adopts him! Come meet him and be prepared to fall in love.
Please note that it is Fancy Cats policy that kittens be adopted in pairs or have an age-appropriate playmate in the home already. We also do not adopt kittens to families with children under 6 years old without seeing appropriate history/experience with cats.
If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have.

Winter is here (maybe…this weather is weird). You may want to stay inside, but that doesn’t mean you need to stay at home. Here are three great indoor activities near Reston that you and (in two cases) the family can enjoy all winter.
Visit the Smithsonian
You don’t have to travel into DC to enjoy the Smithsonian museums — the National Air and Space Museum Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center is located just down Route 28 in Chantilly, only about 10 minutes from Reston. This is where all the big, cool aerospace things are, like the Space Shuttle Discovery, the Concord and SR-71 Blackbird. You can also watch planes take off and land from Dulles International Airport from the comfort of the Donald D. Engen Observation Tower. And if that isn’t enough, check out their events calendar for more fun.
Visit Local Historical Sites
Mount Vernon gets most of the glory when it comes to historical homes in Northern Virginia, but it’s not the only one. Founding Father George Mason’s home, Gunston Hall, is also in Fairfax County. It’s a great place to learn about the man who’s writings inspired America’s Bill of Rights.
Closer to home, we have Sully Historic Site in Chantilly (just a few minutes away from the Udvar-Hazy Center) and Colvin Run Mill just down the street, off Route 7.
Sample a Local Brew
Craft breweries are in, and we’ve got several good ones in Fairfax County — Forge Brew Works and Fair Winds Brewing Co. in Lorton, Caboose Brewing Company in Vienna, and Aslin Beer Company in Herndon. And soon, we’ll have one even closer to home in Reston! We can’t wait for the Lake Anne Brew House to open. Perhaps this isn’t for the whole family, but you deserve to have some adult fun! Find yourself a designated driver and enjoy a day of beer tasting.
For more fun, indoor ideas for the winter (and whenever, really), check out this guide from Fairfax County.

Siamese cats are one of the most popular breeds of cat in the United States. Cat fanciers and average feline owners love their sleek elegance and charming vocals. In this article, we’ll discuss the distinct features, personality, and health issues of the breed.
How did Siamese cats first come to the West?
As the name suggests, Siamese cats come from Southeast Asia, more specifically from the ancient kingdom of Siam (located in present-day Thailand).
Siamese cats first came to England in 1871, making an appearance at the Crystal Palace Cat Show in London. They arrived in the United States in grand style eight years later. The first “American” Siamese was a gift that the U.S. Consul in Bangkok sent to the wife of President Rutherford B. Hayes.
What do Siamese cats look like?
Siamese cats have perhaps the most distinctive physical characteristics of any breed of feline, making them easily identifiable to even the casual cat lover.
The most obvious “Siamese” feature is its point coloration. Like other felines with pointed patterns, Siamese have pale torsos (usually off-white, light gray or yellowish-brown) and darker fur on their faces, ears, legs and tails. Originally, the Siamese’s darker fur came in only four different colors: seal (an extremely dark brown), blue (a cool gray), chocolate (a lighter brown) and lilac (a pale, warm gray). Though the major U.S. cat registry still considers these the only “true” Siamese colors, crossbreeding with other types of cats has resulted in cats with Siamese features and new colors like red and cream, tabby and tortoise-shell points.
This week’s Pet of the Week is Gus, a Boxer-Bassett mix rescue dog who is now living the good life at Reston Town Center. Here is what his owner, Keith, has to say about him:
Augustus, or Gus as he is known, may be one of the most talked-about dogs in the Reston Town Center.
Since I adopted him a couple of months ago from the Lost Dog and Cat Society of Arlington, he has many people asking questions of “just what type of dog is he? or “Look, it’s the Oompa Loompa of Boxers.”
No, he is not part wiener dog. He has floppy ears like a basset and a strong chest like a boxer. He loves our daily walks around the Reston Town Center circle and seeing all the people. He also loves playing with friends, including his doggie roommate Gus (yes there are two Gus’ in one condo).
Gus is a HUGE fan of snuggling during the winter, and at night you can find him stealing both the blankets (plus half the bed) so that his owner is left freezing.
Gus is the reason why everyone should consider rescuing a dog. I cannot believe Gus was actually in a high-kill shelter before he was rescued by the Lost Dog and Cat Society. Gus has been a great companion, and adjust to life of living in Reston. I am lucky to have him!
Gus and Keith (and the other Gus) will receive $100 in Becky’s Bucks, as well as some treats, from our sponsor, Becky’s Pet Care.

The real estate market by the numbers in Reston was very strong in 2015. The total volume of transactions was up almost 9 percent, and the average sales price of $473,000 was its highest since 2005.
I think those of us that sell real estate would describe 2015 as a strange year. Days on market was up, traffic in listings was down — and if you dig into the numbers the growth in value happened at the lower end of the market.
Single family home values were flat over last year, while the average price of a Reston townhouse actually fell from $456K in 2014 to an average of $445K this year. We’ve also seen a steady increase in sellers making a contribution towards the buyer’s closing costs; this year nearly 60 percent of all transactions included cash towards the buyer’s closing costs.
Industry analysts are expecting a neutral market in 2016 — that means one not favoring either the buyer or the seller. Of course, when applied to the local level that’s not a very meaning concept. At $531 million it’s hard to describe the Reston real estate market as anything but strong, but the flatness at the upper end of the market ($500k and above) is concerning.

Meet Roscoe, this week’s Reston Pet of the Week. Roscoe is a hound mix who is looking for his forever home. Here is what the people at Mutt Love Rescue have to say about him:
Roscoe is a very cute, approximately 4-year-old hound mix.
Roscoe is a little taller than your standard beagle, but smaller than most hounds. He is very friendly and sweet and seems to have a great personality. This nice boy has an outstanding temperament and will do well in any family setting.
We have adoption events every Saturday from 12-3 p.m. Please note that not all dogs can attend every event, so if you are interested in meeting a particular dog, please complete a no-obligation application on our website or email us at [email protected].
Upcoming adoption events:
Saturday, Jan. 2, noon – 3 p.m. at Weber’s Pet Supermarket, 11021 Lee Hwy, Fairfax.
Saturday, Jan. 9, noon – 3 p.m. at Weber’s Pet Supermarket, 14508 Lee Road, Chantilly.

Thinking of selling your home in the spring? The time to start getting ready is now.
I don’t typically hold to the notion that one time of year versus another is better for selling your home. For as long as I’ve been selling real estate I have always had at least one transaction around the holidays, but conventional wisdom says that there is something magical about spring.
That being said, as of this writing there are 88 days until Spring, and unless you are a contender for the Martha Stewart award for home organization, the time to start working on your house for a spring listing is now.
When a seller takes seriously the job of preparing their home it takes much, much longer than they imagine. It’s not at all uncommon for the sorting, purging, cleaning, and painting to take up to two months.
So what kinds of things should you be doing to get your home ready?
1. Closets: I recommend that you start with the closets. I think my agent colleagues would agree that a closet that is half-full sends a much better message than one that if stuffed to the gills. Most of us hold on to all kinds of stuff for no better reasonthan we have the room for it, so be ruthless.
2. Pre-packing: For things that you really do want to keep but that you don’t need ready access to, go ahead and pack it up in anticipation of your move.
3. Deep cleaning: I cannot stress to a seller how critical this is. Clean it from the baseboards to the light switches to the light fixtures.
4. Knock off the old “To-do” list: That old light fixture you’ve been meaning to replace since you bought the place — do it now!
A competitive market demands that you make your place stand out from the crowd, so get a jump on it now.

In our last article, we discussed what to do with stray cats that you encounter in your neighborhood.
This week, we’ll tackle an issue that is related but that presents very different challenges: how to help feral cats living near your house.
What is a feral cat?
As we mentioned in a previous article, feral cats are felines who have been born and raised in the wild.
Unlike strays (cats that at one time had human owners), feral kitties have had little to no previous contact with humans. Because of this, you should always approach ferals with caution and avoid handling.
What should you do if you encounter a feral cat in your neighborhood?
Before doing anything, make sure that the feline is indeed feral and not lost or a stray. In our last article, we discussed a variety of ways to determine whether a kitty already has a home or has grown up around people. If you suspect that the cat in question might be domesticated, take the proper steps to ensure that it is either returned to its owners or brought to a shelter.
Once you have ascertained that the cat does not have and has not had a human owner, the next step is to take it immediately to a vet for sterilization and a rabies shot. As we have mentioned in past articles, the best way to reduce the number of euthanasias performed at clinics and shelters around the country is to limit the number of unwanted kittens born.
Getting a feral cat to the veterinarian is not an easy process, given that such felines are not accustomed to human contact. Fortunately, animal welfare organizations like Alley Cat Allies and the ASPCA have developed Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) protocols that are designed to humanely capture feral kitties, get them to the vet without putting them or any humans in danger, and return them to the wild. For more information about how to trap feral cats, the most effective equipment to use, and the best way to bait the traps, please visit AlleyCat.org or ASPCA.org Read More
Meet Misa, this week’s Pet of the Week. Misa is a Jindo who was adopted last year by owner Mary-Anne. Here is what Mary-Anne has to say about her pet:
With Misa on patrol, there isn’t a squirrel that’s safe in Reston — or so she likes to think. Misa is our 2-year old Korean Jindo. We adopted her through TreasuredK9’s when she was just a year old, and we couldn’t be happier she found her forever home with us.
Jindos are known for their intelligence and loyalty — two qualities that describe our pup’s personality perfectly. You’ll always find her close at-hand; keeping a watchful eye on our baby and running up to check on us after every cough or sneeze.
Misa spends her day gazing out of the sunroom window into the woods of Reston watching other dogs walk down the path and birds playing happily just out of reach. She greets us every day with unbridled joy and unconditional love — eager to go on her morning walk and maybe (just maybe) finally catch a squirrel. Misa has warmed our family’s heart and we look forward to each day we spend with her.
Misa and Mary-Anne will receive $100 in Becky’s Bucks, as well as some treats, from our sponsor, Becky’s Pet Care.

This holiday season, I’ll be spending most of my time at the Lake Anne Coffee House finishing the renovations on the business I recently purchased (more updates on this soon).
So I’m asking you to go out and do something for me — enjoy the amazing light shows we’re lucky to have in our area. There are three in particular that I think are must-dos. All three run until Jan. 3.
See how more than 500,000 environmentally friendly LED lights transform Washington’s National Zoo into a winter wonderland. That’s a lot of lights!
ZooLights also includes live music, tasty winter treats, and plenty of opportunities for holiday shopping. New this year is a dazzling light show set to music. Best part: it’s free and open to the public.
For FONZ (Friends of the National Zoo) members, every Saturday night of ZooLights the Elephant Community Center is transformed into The Warm Up and Chill Out Lounge. Celebrity Cruises sponsors this exclusive space, and provides complimentary drinks and themed goodies.
Meadowlark’s Winter Walk of Lights
A little closer to home — about a 15-minute drive from Reston to Vienna — we’ve got the Meadowlark Garden’s Winter Walk of Lights. They don’t quite have 500,000 lights, but they’ve got a lot.
Visit fairyland, watch the frog jump over the lily pad, and see your favorite woodland creatures frolic among the trees. And at the end of the short walk through the park, enjoy hot chocolate and s’mores around the fire pit (or enjoy watching the children enjoy them… that alone is worth the price of admission).
You do need to buy tickets in advance (ages 13 and older: $12 | ages 3-12: $7 | ages 2 and younger: Free).
If you want to enjoy the warmth of your car while looking at the light show, then head out to the Festival of Lights at Bull Run in Manassas. This show is really fun, especially with a car full of children who are captivated by the lights.
Unlike the other two, this light show is open on Christmas and New Year’s Day. The admission fees are per car, so load up. And the Festival of Lights is more than just a light show — after enjoying the two-and-a-half miles of light displays, stop in at the Holiday Village. With bonfires, s’mores, holiday merchandise, and free children’s activities, the Holiday Village is fun for the whole family.
Of course, it’s also always fun to wander over to Reston Town Center and Lake Anne Plaza to enjoy the twinkle lights. Sure, they are not as spectacular as the light shows, but they are charming nonetheless. And if you see me working away in the coffee shop, stop by and say hi.

This is a sponsored column by attorneys John Berry and Kimberly Berry of Berry & Berry, PLLC, an employment and labor law firm located in Reston Town Center that specializes in federal employee, security clearance, retirement, and private sector employee matters.
A reasonable accommodation is a modification to employment conditions or work practices that provides employees with disabilities equal opportunity at employment.
Reasonable accommodations apply to both employees and job applicants in all states and the District of Columbia. Most employees are generally covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), but federal employees are covered under a similar law known as the Rehabilitation Act. In Virginia, employees are also covered under the Virginians with Disabilities Act. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and other civil rights governmental entities enforce these laws.
Requesting a Reasonable Accommodation
A request for reasonable accommodation can be formal or informal. Some employers have specific forms covering reasonable accommodation requests and others simply involve verbal discussions between the employee and his/her immediate supervisor or human resources department.
The most typical accommodation involves an employee who has developed a medical condition or disability that requires some changes to his/her working arrangement.
The discussion between an employer and employee is often referred to as the “interactive process,” which means that the employer works with the employee in an effort to arrive at a reasonable accommodation that does not create an undue hardship on the employer. Although the employer is not required to grant every accommodation request, the employer is required to make a reasonable effort at resolving the accommodation at issue.
Examples of Reasonable Accommodations
- An employee develops a back disability and requests a new chair because his current chair is aggravating his back condition.
- An employee has developed a serious medical condition and is undergoing medical treatment in the morning. She informs her supervisor that she needs an adjustment in her start time for eight weeks while she undergoes treatment.
- An employee develops cancer and requests daily breaks at a certain time to take his medication.
- An employee develops a disability that prevents her from performing her assigned duties so she requests a position reassignment.
For more information, the EEOC has published additional guidance on reasonable accommodations.
We represent employees in reasonable accommodation matters in the Commonwealth of Virginia, the District of Columbia, and Maryland.

Beatriz Sampaio feels she is living her destiny.
Sampaio came to the U.S. from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1985 after studying at a university there. After less than a year in the states, she and a friend-turned-business-partner acquired a house-cleaning company based in Arlington. The previous owner was looking to leave the business, and handed over the keys to Sampaio and her partner.
Sampaio had no experience running a business but was eager to take on the challenge. She said she learned by working and watching.
“I was so young then, and so fresh,” Sampaio said. “I had the knack for it. I was born to be an entrepreneur.”
Sampaio’s partner left the business after five years, and since then, Sampaio has been the sole owner of A Cleaning Service, which is a residential and also a commercial cleaning service that serves Arlington and the D.C. area.
One aspect of her company that Sampaio says sets it apart from her competitors is that A Cleaning Service is not a franchise. When customers want to book an cleaning, have a special request or a problem, they can call her directly.
Sampaio says the direct line from clients to her office is something that hasn’t changed in the 30 years she’s been running the business. Clients appreciate her openness and availability in a world in which it’s often difficult to get a real person on the phone, never mind the business owner.
It’s these personal touches that make A Cleaning Service different from regular maid services. Sampaio is also proud of her employees, who have been called dependable, honest and responsive to feedback in online reviews.
The company does have notably consistent employees. Of her 50-person cleaning staff, Sampaio says many of them have been with the company for eight or nine years, and some many more. One woman, Maria, has been with the company the full 30 years Sampaio has owned it.
It’s her creativity as a business owner that Sampaio thinks makes her a good boss. Some of that creativity comes from connection to music. When she was 10, Sapmaio got her first guitar, and immediately fell in love with the sound. She’s particularly fond of classical and jazz music, and still composes and plays guitar today.
Sampaio likes that there’s low turnover in her company because the job gives workers a chance to really learn a how to do their jobs well, clients like getting to know the workers who often work in their homes.
The four-legged family members also appreciate a consistent staff in their homes too, says Sampaio, a long-time animal lover.
Sampaio’s love of animals goes back to her childhood, and it’s something she likes to incorporate into A Cleaning Service’s appointments. When her staff is friendly towards the animals they see every week or month, they also notice if something is wrong, and can tell the homeowners.
The direct line from clients to Sampaio is something that hasn’t changed in the past 30 years, though Sampaio says some things have changed. Like all businesses that have been around that long, she has had to incorporate computer systems and the Internet into her work.
The Internet has worked to A Cleaning Service’s advantage, connecting customers through forums to recommend their services. Angie’s List and Yelp reviews bring attention to Sampaio’s business because of thorough reviews from pleased clients. A Cleaning Service has won Angie’s List Super Service Award three times in the last four years.
“I really love this business, but sometimes it’s challenging,” Sampaio said of trying to keep up with a website and online reviews in addition to social media, especially when business picks up in the busy seasons.
The company’s busiest times, are, as one might expect, in the spring and before holidays and also at the end of the summer when people get back from vacations. But even in those busy weeks, Sampaio and her staff try to promptly respond to requests.
Just like Sampaio came from Brazil to fulfill her dream of being a business owner, the name of her business came from somewhere too.
When Sampaio was given the business, it didn’t have a name yet, but Sampaio was given the chance to give it one. She decided to go for A Cleaning Service because as it started with the letter “A,” it was a name that would appear at the beginning of the phone book.
Plus, she said, it’s simple. And clean.
