Lenore Beetar isn’t like most 92-year-olds.
Her life has always been about movement, grace and energy, qualities vital to a dancer. For four years, from 1944 to 1948, Beetar was a Radio City Rockette.

WOODBRIDGE — Supervisor John Jenkins has asked for a study by the Prince William County Executive’s Office to look at the Board of County Supervisors members’ pay, which has been unchanged for 10 years. Jenkins would like to raise salaries to match those of the elected Supervisors in neighboring Fairfax County.
According to a recent email from the county executive’s office, the average compensation for Fairfax, Stafford, and Loudoun supervisors is $52, 233 per year, with the chairman’s salary averaging $57,167.
