WOODBRIDGE, Va. — One man’s push for transparency in government has been met with pushback.
UPDATE 8 a.m.
Virginia State Police were called to a two-vehicle crash in the northbound lanes of I-95 at the 138 mm in Stafford County that occurred at 11:30 pm. A 2006 Honda CRV was northbound in the left lane when it lost control and ran off the right side of I-95. The Honda then overcorrected and struck a northbound tractor-trailer in the center lane of I-95. The impact caused the tractor-trailer to jackknife and block all three northbound lanes. Meanwhile, the Honda continued on and struck a guardrail before finally coming to rest on the right shoulder.

LORTON, Va. — Scary stories told around a campfire; its a classic fall memory that was served up last night at Occoquan Regional Park.
Kay Pietrewicz, of Haunted Occoquan Tours, gathered about 30 people around two campfires at the park just across from Occoquan, and she shared tales of the tiny town’s haunted past. When she’s not sending chills up the spines of those roasting marshmallows she can be found giving walking tours of Occoquan.
LORTON, Va. — The Workhouse Arts Center in Lorton held its second annual Arts Gala on Saturday.
The event is held to celebrate the artistic and cultural significance of a bustling arts center near Occoquan. Here are some snippets from a press release about the event that featured former WJLA-TV anchor Paul Berry as the Master of Ceremonies.
The gracefulness of a ballet dancer gliding across the stage, the sounds of a tap dancer keeping rhythm to a song or a pair of dancers doing interpretative dance. All of these are forms of art and the Woodbridge Dance Company is committed to raising public awareness of dance as an art form and believe that the “Arts have an amazing power to inspire, unite and teach.”
One way the Woodbridge Dance Company raises money is with its annual Confections and Cocktails Masquerade Fundraiser Reception. Adults 21 years and older are invited to join and celebrate the event’s third year on Friday, November 2 from 7-10 p.m. at the historic Rockledge Mansion (circa 1758) located at 440 Mill St., Occoquan, Va 22125. Parking is a challenge in old town Occoquan, but there is ample parking at the end of the road near the Mansion.
