Bike Path Driver Gets Jail Sentence — Remember last summer, when a woman drove some distance on the W & OD bike path in Vienna and hit a cyclist? Mehak Chopra of McLean pleaded guilty to misdemeanor driving while intoxicated and hit-and-run charges this week. She avoided more serious felony charges and was sentenced to nearly six months in jail. [Washington Post]

Sweeter Strawberries Coming — Virginia’s cold winter this year will mean a sweeter strawberry crop. Strawberry season will run a little late — starting in late May — but will yield excellent results. [CBS Local]
