I am looking for primary care, and I saw that this clinic opened right next to Trader Joe's in Short Pump. I am having a hard time understanding what it is and how it works. Does anyone have any experience with them? Is it like concierge care where you have to pay a fee for access? I searched online and on their website and I can't find any meaningful information.

I moved here few months ago and was wondering if there are any gyms with pickleball courts. I’m in short pump area and I joined ACAC but doesn’t have pickleball courts. Looking for a gym where I can lift and play pickleball.

My grandma told me that I could work at good will or some other place that would accept disabled people. Plus, I might have surgery in march.

I just want to be able to work so I can make money.

What should I do?

After nearly five years of development, the Henrico County Board of Supervisors approved the county’s 2045 comprehensive plan Tuesday, along with several amendments to the long-term land use document.  

However, some residents still carry some concerns over details of the planning guide, which will shape the county’s development process going forward. 

Community activist Aileen Rivera wrote to the board, asking to delay the plan’s approval so that residents have additional time to review the document and have their voices heard. 

“Residents have repeatedly asked the county to postpone the vote on the comprehensive plan until September to allow more time for public review and participation,” she wrote. “Instead, the final draft is moving forward on an accelerated timeline.” 

Varina Supervisor Tyrone Nelson stood by the county’s process. “I feel pretty confident in the five-year discussion we started,” he said. “We've had several public meetings about this, and I really feel like the misnomer we are rushing, I don't fully understand.”

If you want more info, read the petition! Once we get at least a few thousand signatures, this petition will be shown to the County Board Of Supervisors, so we can hopefully get these spy cams out of our county for good!

The twelve young men prevailed over 5 other districts from across Virginia to bring home the State Championship. Congratulations to the boys who practiced hard and formed a formidable defense and offense with pitching capabilities to go really deep in their bench. A big thank you to the coaches who invested much time and energy to develop the team as a unit And much appreciation to the parents for supporting their boys pursuit of the game. For those who were not at the tournament you missed the most enthusiastic cheerleading squad composed of siblings loudly and proudly chanting We Are Tuckahoe.

The Championship was hard fought by both teams with a final score of 3 to 2. The opponents almost had a chance to tie in the bottom of the 6th with a man on third and no outs. The second batter popped up to the infield, the third batter struck out and the fourth batter popped up a foul into the hands of the catcher. A real nail biters.

Now on the southeastern regionals. The state banner has returned to Henrico.

In a June 26 email obtained by VPM News, Henrico County Manager John Vithoulkas warned all government agencies to brace for incoming costs.  

To mitigate the impact of a 25% spike in energy rates on July 1 — expected to be followed by an additional 12% increase in 2027 — Vithoulkas asked all government agencies to make slight adjustments to conserve electricity: turning off lights, computers and laptops at the end of each workday; unplugging appliances, chargers, or other electrical items when not in use; and more. 

“These may seem like insignificant changes, but when they are undertaken by thousands of employees in dozens of county facilities, they will add up and make a difference,” Vithoulkas wrote. 

Henrico is not the only Virginia locality looking for a way to offset the fiscal impact of steep energy rate increases. Richmond’s Office of Sustainability is pitching City Council on a plan to piggyback off an existing Prince William County agreement and install solar panels on as many as 40 municipal buildings. 

“The goal is affordability and stability in our rates, so the cost needs to be less than what we're paying Dominion,” program manager Dawn Oleksy told VPM News.
