My Side of the Fence

The danger isn't going too far. It's that we don't go far enough.

Contest!

OK, where is William Fair buried?  The graveyard has a name so we’ll need that, not just a general place.  Yes, this is in the city…:)  Hate to admit it but last weekend was the first time I have ever been to this place.  It’s a nice bike ride from my house – not too far for an easy family ride.

The prize for this one is a pair of Manassas Coffee cups that I have seen at the Museum before….

Council Meeting on Lake Manassas

The Council will hold it’s organizational meeting on Thursday (always on July 1 after an election).  That’s at 5:30 at City Hall.  After that, we’ll adjourn and reconvene over at Public Works to talk about the possibilities of recreation on Lake Manassas.

As I see it, it would be a good thing to have people enjoy time on Lake Manassas but the sticking points are as follows:

1.  Drinking water.  Lake Manassas is a drinking water source for many people.  We need to make sure that we control access to the lake so it does not become polluted.  Hand-wave this all you want, it’s important.

2.  Money.  In order to control access, there needs to be established a marina so that we can keep tabs on what’s going onto the lake.  The State is involved as is George Mason but nobody wants to put much money into this project – nobody has any!

We’ll see what happens tomorrow night!  I look forward to the update.
