Prince William police said the name of the man killed in a fiery crash on Joplin Road earlier this month is Tyrone Anthony Mayo, 31, of Triangle.
Mayo was driving a 2009 Pontiac Vibe on January 8 and crashed in the 18100 block of Joplin Road.
There is a perfectly logical reason for the location of Mom’s Apple Pie Bakery and Wine Shop in Occoquan: It is the first place you will want to visit when you pull into town, and also before heading back out of town.
Yep, Mom’s is that good.

Here’s more in a press release from the Virginia Lottery:
A new proposal aims to do away with a fee charged to those in Prince William County who wish to get concealed gun carry permits.
Residents who apply for a state concealed carry permit are charged a $50 fee. In Prince William County, the sheriff’s office processes those permits usually within 10 days. They check for any possible criminal history for the applicant.
Virginia’s sales tax covers almost everything you buy, from athletic socks to zippers. But it doesn’t apply to medicine, contact lenses and certain other personal health items. Now, the General Assembly is considering adding feminine hygiene products to the list of exemptions.
Del. Mark Keam (Fairfax County) introduced House Bill 952, which seeks to remove the sales tax on tampons and sanitary napkins in Virginia. Currently these items are taxed at the standard rate, like most other items: 6 percent in Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads, and 5.3 percent in the rest of the state.

This week’s weather probably has you thinking that WINTER is finally here, but believe it or not, here at Parks and Recreation, we are already starting to think about SUMMER!
We are diligently planning for summer camps, swim lessons, special events, and the 20th year of operation at Signal Bay Water Park! One of the major components in planning for summer is making sure we have the right staff to carry out our plans. It takes us months to interview, select, and train all of our employees, which is why we start in the dead of winter!
