Kamala Harris changes venue: It looks like Vice President Kamala Harris will visit the old Dumfries-Triangle Rescue Squad building on Graham Park Road in Dumfries on Thursday afternoon to rally for Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe. Yesterday, it appeared the Vice President was going to occur with McAuliffe in the nearby Potomac Shores neighborhood. Thursday’s event is slated to run from 4 to 7:30 p.m.
New School Board member: An open seat on the Manassas School Board created when Chairman Sanford Williams resigned last month is expected to be filled on Thursday, Oct. 21, 2021. A total of seven people applied to fill the seat (their resumes are posted to the school’s board website). The appointee will complete the remainder of Willaims’ term, which ends December 31, 2022.
2.4 tons of trash: On Saturday, October 16, 2021, 389 volunteers helped the Friends of the Occoquan (FOTO) relieve the Occoquan River and Reservoir of 2.4 tons of trash (4,660 pounds in bags and 202 pounds of miscellaneous material) at the Bull Run, Fountainhead, and Occoquan Regional Park/Marinas in Fairfax, and the Lake Ridge Park/Marina and the Town of Occoquan.
Halloween haunts: The Workhouse Arts Center in Lorton is once again holding its annual haunt. This year, the event immerses guests through a themed walk-through experience. We also recommend Haunted Hallow in Warrenton. Now in its 13th season, it’s open Fridays and Saturdays from dusk until 10 p.m. (my family and I have been visiting this farm since at least 2012).
Send me your news: I’ve been told that I do a good job summarizing the “good stuff” in this post (hat tip to Desi, a paid member). I’ll continue to do my best. When you send me something, include a link to your press release already posted online or a link to where the press release is posted to your Facebook, Twitter, or other social media account. If you’re using MailChimp (like we do) or Constant Contact, include a “view as a webpage” link in your emails, as that makes it even easier to link directly to your press release or announcement. Our readers want the option to click links to read more, and you’re more likely to be included in this post when you include a link. Thank you.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
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.”
