📰 News we're reading
• Driver to serve 2 years, 6 months for fatal collision with pedestrian (dnronline.com) — A Shenandoah County judge has sentenced Edinburg resident Lindsay Rae Price to two years and six months in prison for the 2025 crash that killed 82-year-old pedestrian Leona Honaker, after a guilty plea to involuntary manslaughter. The Woodstock hearing included emotional statements from Honaker’s family and details about distracted driving evidence, along with additional probation and good-behavior requirements for Price. 
• AI has brought ‘breathing room' for small governments, leaders say (route-fifty.com) — Woodstock’s town staff are increasingly using AI chatbots to handle routine questions, freeing up finance and customer service employees to focus on complex budgeting and operational work. Town Manager Aaron Grisdale says the technology speeds up communication about service changes, like trash and recycling delays, while still keeping in-person help available for residents who prefer it.
