Students returning home on bus number 76 (Route 6-2) last week on Thursday, got a little thrill when the bus had mechanical problems. Fire engine 1 responded and quickly solved the problem as kids were transferred to another bus. Some students were picked up by their parents.
A survey conducted this past spring by the Virginia Association of School Superintendents (VASS) revealed that drastic reductions in state funding for public education and maximum efforts by localities to replace lost funds have pushed Virginia’s schools to the limits of their human and financial capacity in their attempts to meet today’s expectations and serve the needs of students. A recent Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee (JLARC) reported that Virginia relies more on localities to fund K-12 than other states and that Virginia’s localities pay the highest share of total K-12 spending in the Southeast region. The JLARC report…

The previous sign was destroyed by an errant motorist. James E. Harris, Jr., neighborhood watch chairman, not pictured, painted the destroyed sign just prior to the accident.

The FDA recently strengthened the warning on a group of the most commonly used prescription and over-the-counter medications. These drugs, known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs, include popular painkillers like ibuprofen and naproxen. NSAIDs have carried warnings for years about potential risks of heart attacks and strokes.

The risk applies to even short-term use of these medications and it’s true for people with or without heart disease. The…
Fall officially arrived last week. It was sunny and 82 degrees on September 23. Does that sound like fall y’all? Regardless of my question it will be cooler soon and early to mid-fall is the best time for planting trees, shrubs, and bulbs and dividing perennials. The soil is still warm and the moisture from rainfall is typically adequate enough for newly planted or divided plants to have time to develop a good root system before winter dormancy.
