OK, so that name is not very original. But Kitty is a sweet girl who promises to adore you in return for love and affection. She would do great as an only kitten and will give you years of love and laughter.

She is spayed and up to date on her shots. All she needs is a forever home!

You can meet her this Saturday and Sunday from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at our orphanage at 25 Dove St. in Alexandria (off Duke Street at Telegraph Road).

For more information on Kitty and all our other wonderful cats and kittens go to www.kingstreetcats.org.

Very well said. A new building will not bring up the test scores, and its not the fault of the…Read More parents. Dr. Sherman changes staff so frequently it makes sense that the scores are not improving. Jefferson-Houston needs to have consistency in staff, and not the turnovers that it has had in the last several years. These students can achieve, they can do well, but they need to have consistent structure, and teachers that are willing to teach them in the manner they can learn best. Take these 350 students and reintegrate them into other schools that are achieving, then see them rise as the stars they are. Stop keeping them segregated, stop the under achievement. Stop this new building.

While I agree with the commenters and the writer on their comments, I do suggest that, if you have…Read More not done so already, do take a tour of the school to see the changes taking place. It's hard to see how the kids can learn anything there at the school given the current open classroom environment. Having lived here all my life, I seem to recall as well that at one point in time, Lyles Crouch was in a similar situation like Jefferson Houston currently is. Lyles Crouch has turned itself around so who's to say that Jefferson Houston won't? Dr. Sherman though, needs to go.

I find myself agreeing with the writer for once. This is a quality of life and security issue.…Read More Actually 60 lights were out a few months ago from the river to the Metro station. TE&S does a survey only once a year. Otherwise its Director says it is up to citizens to report lights that are out. I report light outages on my block, but it is unreasonable to expect citizens to report each light number out on a commercial street. Then there is the issue of repair time. Last fall it took three months to repair a damaged light in the 100 block of N. Saint Asaph Street.
