Osbourn Park Senior High School is looking forward to something that is tough for many schools to start of the school year with — a roster full of returning players. At the end of the 2013-2014 season, the Girls Varsity Basketball team, led by Head Coach Clifton Gorham, only lost one senior. That means this coming year, he can worry less about re-teaching and more time honing in on the development of his current players.
Gorham feels that with the talent and focus of his returning core, the Lady Yellow Jackets will be destined for success.
The air quality outside today won’t be so great. It’s a code yellow day, according to the Washington Metropolitan Council of Governments, and that means the air quality is not as good as other days and can be harmful to highly sensitive groups of people.
Clean Air Partners for Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C. measures the air quality index on a scale that includes colors such as green, yellow, orange for moderate, red for unhealthy, and purple for very unhealthy. The organization urges those who might be sensitive to air pollution today to make fewer trips outdoors today and, if possible, link all errands together so they can be completed in one trip.

Here’s the latest in a police report:
Yesterday, I asked Youngest Son to organize the container cabinet. After matching up the lids to their bowls, he asked me if I could pay him for doing the job. I’m not sure if my logic was flawed on this one or not, but I told him no, because although we’ve recently begun to pay our children for chore completion, he’d gotten assigned the job because he was underfoot, sighing loudly while I was making lunch. If you’re bored, I tell them, and you can’t find anything to do, I’ll find something for you.
