Prince William
PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY — Prince William leaders will spend $3.6 million for new land at the county’s public safety training center.
The 148-acre land grab will more than double the size of the grounds where police, fire, and rescue workers train.
PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY — A comprehensive plan amendment could lead to 130 new homes in the Rural Crescent.
The Prince William County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday will hear a case for a comprehensive plan amendment, if approved, would allow for the conversion of 325 acres of preserved land in the Coles District into a semi-rural Mid-County Park and Estate Homes neighborhood of single-family homes, if built.
The following letter to the editor is from Charlie Grymes, Prince William Conservation Alliance chairman:
STAFFORD — The technology that supports the region’s 911 system is more than 50 years old.
It’s based on copper wire technology, the stuff that for years — just as the telegraph of the 19th century did — has carried telephone calls across wires to old landline phones.

Here’s today’s OPM status.
In our last article, we talked about four activities you can enjoy with the senior in your life to increase quality of life. We started off with conversation, sketching, reciting and singing. Here are four more ideas to try.
Stretching – If you have been caring for a senior for a while, chances are you know a little about their physical strengths and challenges. Put this knowledge to good use. Lead a little stretching session. You might be able to do whole body stretches (reach high up over the head, point palms to ceiling and gently wiggle the fingers) or focus on a particular body part, like the foot. Point the toes, flex the ankle, whatever feels good. Be sure to go slowly and ask your senior how each movement feels. The point is to loosen the muscles and to engage in conversation about sensations. Note, it is recommended you ask a physical therapist or doctor what kind of movements they would recommend before you engage in this activity.
STAFFORD – A state legislator who represents Stafford County said she agrees with activists who unsuccessfully urged county officials on Tuesday to order the removal of an 80-foot-high Confederate flag flying along Interstate 95.
Del. Jennifer Carroll Foy, D-Prince William, said she is against flying the flag towering next to I-95 north of Fredericksburg because she believes it sends the wrong message about the area.
