The public is invited to the unveiling of the statue honoring retired Virginia State Senator, Charles J. Colgan, on Sunday, September 25, 2016, at 3:00 p.m. This free event will be held at Colgan Hall on George Mason University’s Science and Technology Campus, 10900 University Blvd., Manassas. This will be the Senator’s 90th birthday. There is no charge but please RSVP to [email protected] or 703-993-4705.
Mr. Colgan has contributed greatly to the Commonwealth of Virginia serving 40 years before his retirement in the Virginia Senate preceded by four years on the Prince William Board of County Supervisors. He is the longest serving Virginia Senator in the history of the Commonwealth.
During the September 6, 2016 Occoquan Town Council meeting, Occoquan Police Chief and Town Sergeant Sheldon Levi announced his retirement effective December 3, 2016, after more than six years in these positions. Levi first joined the Town of Occoquan as an Auxiliary officer in 2007, and was appointed Chief in 2010, following Occoquan Town Sergeant Mary Brown’s departure. In June 2013, Levi, in addition to his police responsibilities, was appointed as Acting Town Manager, while the Town Council conducted a search for a permanent appointment to the position.
Levi is the Town’s only full-time police officer and, during his tenure, expanded the Town’s Auxiliary Officer program in an effort to reduce cost and increase police coverage and availability. Prior to his appointment, the Town employed anywhere from one to three full-time or part-time officers at various times throughout the department’s history. In addition, Levi is the Town’s first Chief of Police with the Town’s previous chief law enforcement officer being designated as Town Sergeant.

Mrs. Dorothy Bologna was born in Manhattan in 1929, in a strong community where she says everybody helped everybody.
But by the time she needed help, she says, “There was nobody left.” Her family had all died or gone to college and moved to areas where they studied. So she moved to the Gainesville area eight years ago to be near her daughter.
Diane Raulston said she has spent the past few days working with community groups like the VFW collecting backpacks for elementary school children in her Neabsco District.
It came as a surprise to the Prince William County School Board member when she learned of an effort to have residents hold a recall election to remove her from the Board. The website alleges that after six months in office, Raulston no longer meets with constituents, threatened teachers, and “pledged to fill a vacant board seat with a Republican instead of the qualified candidate endorsed by Democratic leadership.”
From Prince William police:
Abduction | Assault by Mob – On August 31 at 2:15PM, officers responded to the area of Ashton Ave and Rixlew Ln in Manassas (22109) to investigate a large group fighting in the area. Upon a search of the area, officers located the victim, a 14-year-old male juvenile of Manassas, at his residence a short distance away. The victim reported to police that he was walking in the above area when he was approached by three acquaintances. During the encounter, the victim was punched and kicked by the suspects. The parties eventually separated and the suspects fled the area prior to officers arriving. Minor injuries were reported. Upon further investigation, officers determined that this incident was gang related. On September 2, detectives with the Gang Unit identified one of the suspects involved as a 16-year-old male juvenile of Manassas. A search warrant was subsequently executed at the residence of the 16-year–old where he was taken into custody without incident. On September 5, the remaining two suspects involved were identified as a 14-year-old male juvenile and Hector ARIAS RAMIREZ. As a search warrant was being executed at an address on Manassas Dr, the 14-year-old male juvenile and ARIAS RAMIREZ attempted to run out the back door but were taken into custody a short time later without incident. Following the investigation, all of the accused were arrested. The investigation continues.
