The call came in on Tuesday from the Blue Plains waste treatment facility. The caller, deeply concerned, reported that 2 geese had crash landed in the waste water and were stuck and slowly sinking. WHS Animal Control Sergeant Ted Deppner and Animal Control Officer Shawn Covington got the call and rushed to the scene. Time, was not on their side.

SPRINGFIELD, Va.  (WUSA)  -- Many viewers were shocked at what happened to Teresa Hammond... a single mom who works full time and cares for her severely disabled son. She receives no government money herself, but, after her employer gave her a 40 cent raise to $13.45 an hour, Social Security cut Quentin's SSI disability payment in half, nearly causing the family to be evicted form their home.

"If you continue to balance the budget on the backs of people with disabilities and their families, you're going to send them into crisis situations, which is much more costly than to be there on the front end to try to prevent this from happening," said Brooke Annessa, Quentin's case manager.

Had it not been for Annessa, who found emergency money and worked out a new rental agreement, Quentin could've been sent back to a nursing home.
