There is money to be made in the business of courthouse documents.
Stafford County renewed its contract with Logan Systems, Inc., where the county pays the company $14,000 per month for the outsourced electronic record conversion services for the county’s Circuit Court, where land records are kept for the public.
The City Council is split on the decision to approve a rezoning for 140 new condominium units to be built at the corner of Tudor Lane and Fairview Avenue.
It’s now up to Mayor Hal Parrish II to decide, and that won’t happen until at least Dec. 15.
Together, they marshalled 40 volunteers and PMAH staff members at 5 project sites to tackle major projects for clients from around the county. Volunteers braved a cold, wet Saturday to make a difference in the lives of low income seniors by making home repairs to make their homes more livable.
Among the volunteers were a number of first time PMAH participants, including seven adolescents. Over the course of several hours, the PMAH teams were able to accomplish repairs including replacing doors and siding, fixing gutters, yard cleanup, replacing flooring, installing safety grab bars and various plumbing repairs.

A new indoor aquatics facility will be named after Stafford native and two-time Olympic gold medalist Jeff Rouse.
Rouse competed in the 1992 and 1996 Olympic Games and won gold in the 4×100 medley relay both years, and won gold in the men’s 100-meter backstroke during 1996 games.
It was 65 degrees at 7 a.m. this morning, 30 degrees warmer than it has been 24 hours prior. After a string of bitterly cold weather, the high temperature is forecast to reach 72 today.
What’s weather is on tap for later in the week? Snow – the kind that accumulates on the ground.
With so much in the news these days regarding community policing and the appropriate level of engagement by members of local law enforcement, I felt compelled to forward a note of thanks to the Prince William Police Department (PWPD). Last weekend the Woodbridge Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. hosted a panel discussion with officers from Prince William County Police Department and area students enrolled in the fraternity’s Guide Right Mentoring Program. The hour and a half panel discussion took place in the foyer of the McCoart Administration Building in Woodbridge.
The officers were most generous with their time and candidly engaged students on a host of topics that included: campus leadership, the pitfalls of bullying, inappropriate text messaging, suggested protocols in the event of a traffic stop, career options in law enforcement, and a day in the life of a Prine William County Police Department officer. There were great exchanges all around and I tip my hat to local law enforcement for understanding the power of community partnerships.
A new store owner hopes a party will once again happen inside Woodbridge’s Featherstone Square.
Ania Jaffa is the managing director, chief proprietor, and just about any other official-sounding title you can come up with for Nyea’s Party store. The independent business owner opened the store this fall after retiring from working in the account management department at AT&T, not a job one would associate with parties.
