As we promised those who attended our Davis Ford and Yates Ford roads Traffic Think Tank, here is the survey where you can give us your opinions on traffic conditions on those roads. 

This week, we’ll post some of the questions and answers that we didn’t have time to address at Thursday night’s meeting, like this one


From police: 

*UPDATE: Mr. Lowery was sighted at the Potomac Mills mall parking lot on October 20 around 11:48am. At the time, he was wearing a white t-shirt, black pants and carrying a black backpack with silver stripes on it. Mr. Lowery also has dragon tattoos on both forearms and frequents Game Stops, comic book and game type stores, dollar stores, as well as, utilizes the Omni-link and PRTC buses for transportation. Anyone with information on Mr. Lowery’s whereabouts is asked to call Prince William County police at 703-792-6500 or your local police department.


Thanks for coming to our Davis Ford and Yates Ford roads Think Tank.

We had more than 60 people come to Simmons Hall at Buckhall Volunteer Fire Station to exchange ideas, and to hear from public officials about improvements that could be made to Davis Ford and Yates Ford roads — a major commuter route between Fairfax and Prince William counties.


From police: 

Indecent Exposure – On October 19 at 3:47PM, officers responded to the area of Sir Reynard Ln and Shortbread Way in Bristow (20136) to investigate an indecent exposure. The caller reported to police that she was walking in the above area when she observed an unknown male, possibly a teenager, exposing himself. The caller yelled towards the male who immediately fled on foot. No injuries were reported and no further contact was made.


From an email from Prince William County Government: 

People whose work times will exceed 11 hours between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Election Day, voters who have business or will be on vacation outside of the county on Election Day, and voters who have a disability or religious obligations don’t have to miss their opportunity to vote in this year’s General Election. They can vote by absentee ballot instead.


From Prince William County police:

Stabbing Investigation – On October 17 at 12:33a.m., officers responded to a hotel located in the 17100 block of Dumfries Rd in Dumfries (22025) to investigate a stabbing. The investigation revealed that the victims, a 21-year-old man and a 24-year-old man both of Midland, and two other male acquaintances were involved in a verbal altercation at the hotel, which escalated.


When Martha Felmley was invited to an introductory meeting for the Potomac Hospital Auxiliary in the early 70’s, she had no idea it would ignite a passion that would consume nearly half of her life and be passed down through the generations.

“We had fundraisers to make money and went door to door to collect money. In the beginning, it was all about money to build the hospital” remembers the soon-to-be 90-year-old, smiling.
