It’s morning, and in various stations across Prince William County, police officers sit in roll call, waiting for their daily assignments.
The morning roll call is important for patrol officers like Kimberly Walton and Borys Vargas heading out to the streets. Roll call is a chance to catch up on incidents from the previous shift.

The Prince William Chamber of Commerce has changed the name of one long-time event and added a fun new twist. Formerly known as State of Prince William, the newly formatted Direct Access: A Conversation with Local Leaders will be held on Thursday, September 29 from 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. at the Red Rose Event Center (9705 Liberia Avenue, Suite 101; Manassas, VA 20110). Tickets to the luncheon are $40 for members of the Prince William Chamber of Commerce and $55 for non-members. All are welcome.
“State of Prince William has always been a popular event for us, offering our members a look at how the three municipalities we serve—Prince William County and the Cities of Manassas and Manassas Park—work together. Direct Access represents a change in format aimed at making the event more interactive. Audience members can expect to not only gain insight but also to find answers for their concerns in real time,” says Chamber President & CEO Debbie Jones. She went on to say that the business community has a “responsibility to work side-by-side with local governments to improve the economic climate and enhance the local quality of life if they want to see their businesses thrive.”
When people think of a sports training center, many images might come to mind, none of which include children who are overweight. About 18 percent of children suffer from childhood obesity, a statistic that has increased by 5% since 2013.
Competitive Edge Athletic Performance Center in Woodbridge, Virginia is doing something about it, giving kids a fun way to address their health, without the stigma.

Mrs. Dorothy Bologna was born in Manhattan in 1929, in a strong community where she says everybody helped everybody.
But by the time she needed help, she says, “There was nobody left.” Her family had all died or gone to college and moved to areas where they studied. So she moved to the Gainesville area eight years ago to be near her daughter.
During World War II, canteens were more than just used for transporting water.
The term was used in various buildings across the U.S. and in the European Theatre that served as entertainment locals for service men (and women) to go and listen to great music, get home cooked food, non-alcoholic beverages, and perhaps rub shoulders with famous motion picture and theater stars, musicians and even former presidents.
