Fairfax Supervisors to Consider Even More Cuts to Library System

In the last four years, more than $5 million has been slashed from the library budget.

Walk into the Centreville Library and one is confronted with an institution in crisis.

What to do if a five-year-old is not ready to leave nursery school to attend a larger public or private school kindergarten class?

If a child is immature, timid, has difficulty paying attention, does not feel comfortable socializing or is simply not ready to tackle the kindergarten curriculum, then a solution is to enroll him or her in a smaller kindergarten program which allows for one more year in a more intimate, supportive environment.

Alexandria: Addressing Men

Church’s conference offers encouragement.

With Bibles and notebooks in hand, men who were both members and visitors of Alfred Street Baptist Church filed into the building one early and recent Saturday morning, perhaps because they knew New York Knicks Coach Jim Cleamons would be there, or because they knew there would be a message from the pastor, or perhaps due to just the simple camaraderie that being at church on an early Saturday morning would bring.
