Stafford County, Va. -- It was a failed gas line that knocked out the heat at Ferry Farm Elementary School in Stafford County, and students today are once again displaced.
As they were on Thursday, Ferry Farm students are in classes held at Dixon Smith Middle School as repairs are being made at Ferry Farm. School officials decided to abandon the failed gas line and ordered Columbia Gas to install a new line that will service the building, said Stafford schools spokeswoman Valerie Cottongim.
The work is expected to be completed today and students back in classrooms at Ferry Farm on Tuesday, after the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday on Monday, said Cottongim.

After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
