From the Town of Occoquan:
(October 20, 2017 – Occoquan, VA) On October 16, 2017, the Town of Occoquan presented resident Laurie Holloway with its Volunteer Award. Ms. Holloway was awarded the Walter D. Bailey Volunteer Award and recognized for her contributions to the community during a volunteer appreciation event at Occoquan’s Bottle Stop Wine Bar on Monday evening.
When it comes to helping older adults remain in their homes, bathing can be a challenging issue. But Tessa Lamb of Home Instead Senior Care of Manassas and Herndon has found those concerns can be overcome with the right combination of compassion and experience.
Lamb has been working with seniors since 1996, as long as she’s been a licensed practical nurse. During that time, she realized there are identifiable, key issues that impact bath time. By recognizing and addressing these concerns, home care providers can help their clients age with greater hope and success.
From an email from Virginia Department of Transportation:

Lori Viera bought her dream home just off Davis Ford Road two years ago.
She and her family pulled up roots from Springfield in Fairfax County and now call Prince William County their home.
Residents gathered on Thursday, Oct. 19 to discuss traffic congestion in the Davis Ford and Yates Ford roads corridor.
Near the start of the discussion, hopes for a new bridge across the Occoquan River to link Prince William and Fairfax counties, to provide relief along the popular two-lane road commuter route that is Yates Ford Road, isn’t going to happen.

We’re getting answers to some of the questions that we didn’t have time to ask at our Davis Ford and Yates Ford roads Traffic Think Tank on Oct. 19.
Today’s question:
GAINESVILLE — Delegate Tim Hugo today joined local leaders to promote new legislation that would require Dominion to bury a new powerline in Haymarket.
Following the election, Hugo said he would work with state lawmakers to draft legislation that would not only force Dominion Energy to bury a 230kv, five-mile-long power line to a new data center in Haymarket, but also bury lines where the prospect of overhead powerlines threatens property values elsewhere in the state.
Commuters on Virginia Railway Express had to contend with long delays on Friday.
A portion of the track just south of Long Bridge across the Potomac River in Arlington caught fire, leaving passengers stranded for hours.
