Pit Bull Debate Sparked in Springfield
Resident supports breed-specific legislation as animal shelter removes criteria for pit bull adoption.
In Fairfax County, no dog is considered dangerous simply because of their breed. In fact, any dog, regardless of breed, isn’t considered dangerous until it has bitten, attacked, injured, or killed another animal.
Fall Cankerworm Spraying Debated
Some residents believe spraying of fall cankerworm is unnecessary.
Later this month, the Fairfax County Forest Pest Management Branch is scheduled to spray 2,200 acres of the Mason, Lee and Mount Vernon districts with insecticide in order to rid these areas of fall cankerworms, commonly known as inchworms.

Exchange programs like the one taking place at Robinson this week is what makes learning a language worthwhile, she says.
