During a recent meeting at the Old Manassas Courthouse, members of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors, the Manassas City Council and the Prince William-Manassas Regional Jail Board learned the findings of a Community-Based Corrections Plan which outlined population trends facing the Prince William-Manassas Regional Adult Detention Center (ADC).
Corrections plans, such as the one done for the ADC by Moseley Architects, are mandated by the state to show how jail populations are likely to grow. Jurisdictions must commission the plans and submit them along with a planning study to the Virginia Board of Corrections in order to apply for 50 percent funding from the state to build or expand jails.
Nothing good can come of keeping unused prescription medications around the house or disposing of them improperly. So, the Prince William Police Department along with the Manassas Police Department will work with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 26 to get those medications off medicine cabinet shelves.
The “National Take-Back Day” initiative seeks to prevent pill abuse and theft and to provide people a safe and legal way to get rid of unused medications. According to the DEA, rates of prescription drug abuse are increasing at alarming rates. Additionally, unused prescriptions that are flushed or thrown away can cause environmental problems.
MANASSAS, Va. – The Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative donated 280 tree seedlings to Manassas Park Elementary School fourth graders on April 24, 2014, in recognition of Arbor Day. Principal Stacey R. Mamon and Assistant Principal Melissa Pitts accepted the trees from Donna Snellings, NOVEC public and government relations liaison, and Eddie Bartalos, a NOVEC employee and Manassas Park resident.
“NOVEC has participated in the National Fourth Grade Foresters Program for many years,” stated Snellings. “We’ve given tree seedlings to Manassas Park Elementary fourth graders for three years. We hope our donation will help them learn how trees help to reduce carbon dioxide in the air we breathe.”
