It’s the first day of school across the area today. For nearly everyone — especially those with children — summer has come to a close.
Students in Stafford County are going back to school today, and the school division wants parents to know their child is a bit safer thanks to precautions put in place at the front door of the school.
STAFFORD, Va. — Computers, your cell phone and, yes, even waste water pump stations rely on transmitting data wirelessly.

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — Leaders in Prince William County have come up with a way to help keep their community clean. They call the neighborhood clean-up program Dumpster Days, where throughout the spring and summer residents are invited to bring their trash to a collection site where, yes, a dumpster is waiting to be filled with junk.
Cathy Holtzlander, who works in Prince William’s Neighborhood Services office, sent us some numbers that show just how much trash was collected during this year’s Dumpster Days:
Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA) has been awarded a 2014 WCET Outstanding Work (WOW) award by the WICHE Cooperative for Educational Technologies.
The award honors colleges, universities and organizations that are implementing exceptionally creative, technology-based solutions to contemporary challenges in higher education. The College received the award for its innovative OER-Based Associate Degree Project, which is a comprehensive approach to addressing access, affordability and student success through the use of open educational resources.
Last week, those interested in knowing more about me as a candidate for Manassas City Council, my positions, and my vision for the city gathered at Okra’s Louisiana Bistro at the corner of Center and Battle in Old Town Manassas.
While there was plenty of good Cajun food, the main course was meaty discussion (sorry for the pun, it was tough to resist) about real issues facing Manassas City. My running for office, the whole campaign of “Ken Elston for Manassas City Council,” is based on my affection for Manassas. A vote for me is a vote for public safety, a vote for our public schools and a vote for economic development in the city.

I haven’t left the area and I think you already miss me! You may not know you miss me unless you ride down Lindendale Road and notice the grass is tall, the sidewalks aren’t edged, there’s litter and leaves in the gutter on the wooded block adjacent to Dale City Christian Church. We’ve been maintaining that block (and occasionally another wooded lot across the street) since 2006. We have a sign there for an Adopt a Spot for the Lindendale Community, but typically an Adopt a Spot is just a litter pick up, not the kind of community maintenance we do.
There’s a perennial flower bed there. We planted it with Shasta Daisies, Coreopsis and Purple Coneflower. The deer ate all the coneflower, but the Daisies, the Coreopsis and a Datura Lily lend some bright color to the landscape all summer long. The flowers are ready to be cut down and mulched soon and the bed is in need of some weeding.
