The first opening will start at 10 p.m. Thursday, and the bridge will be in the upright position at multiple points during the night for maintenance. Traffic will not be able to cross the bridge when the bridge is in the upright position.

I can't help myself this time. We can't cross the bridge while it is in the open position. Wow, thank goodness you mentioned that. I would have tried to do that when I got there on my way home. Now I know I won't be able to. Whew did you save me some embarassment. I am trying to be sarcastic, true. The sad thing is, if you didn't mention that, there really would be someone trying to cross while the bridge is open.

Treating mental illness and catching it early is particularly important in a State like ours that…Read More has concealed carry gun laws. If we look at the examples of murders in Virginia that were committed by people with concealed carry permits, we will see that they frequently involved the murder of family members. Perhaps early intervention and treatment might have saved lives in these cases. We know the chances of strengthening gun laws in Virginia are next to nil, so we had better start looking at ways to make sure that the people who legally have the guns are mentally and emotionally equipped to do so.

Under Susan leadership the fund grew scholarships in both size and quantity. This is a great…Read More accomplishment. But Susan also inspired students to go to college. TC students learned how to apply for additional scholarships and financial aid. TC students helped with fund raising and the telethon, providing their own skin in the game. TC students get help in preparing personal statements for the college entrance process. When you see the students receive their scholarship, you begin to understand how Susan and SFA inspires our kids. Congratulations to Susan for an amazing run. Our many TC grads have you to thank for successful careers.
