Mike May officially kicked off his run for the Prince William County Commonwealth Attorney’s Office.

Stonewall Jackson High School Girls’ Varsity Basketball Team’s most recent and first loss of the season to the Battlefield Bobcats was unexpected, to say the least.
The Cardinal District team is ranked number one in the Washington Post’s “All Mets” section of high school sports and a team who boasted a 20-0 record prior to the game that took place on Tuesday. The loss briefly demonstrated a flaw in the Lady Raiders’ fortress.
Some members of the Prince William School Board don’t want to see cuts in full-day kindergarten. This year’s budget picture, however, could make those cuts a reality.

Flags in the Town of Haymarket should fly at half-staff starting tomorrow.
Mayor David Leake issued an order that all flags in the town should be lowered in honor of the late Dave Berry, a security contractor who lived with his wife and children in the small town, who was killed Jan. 27 in Libya. The retired Marine Staff Sergeant was working in the country as a security contractor.
The Eco Park will consist of an interpretive science-technology-engineering-math (STEM) education center that will give the students the chance to get hands-on experience working with environment conservation and other related topics. The center will also support a research center for use by colleges and universities, visitor programs that include tours, and a variety of other resources that allow the community to interact with the environment. Plans to explore additional energy and recovery technologies are also part of the plan for the Eco Park.
The park will co-exist with the landfill, which will continue to be used as a gas energy plant which already generates 6.7 megawatts of electricity, enough to power 5,000 homes, according to officials.
The Town of Haymarket has listed a 2003 Chevy pickup for sale, with a minimum bid of $500.
