STAFFORD, Va. — A passerby found an injured dog on the side of Courthouse Road on Sunday suffering from blunt force trauma.
We are very excited to report that our youth swim team, the Southbridge Fighting Seals, won their first divisional championship.
Under the leadership of their first-year head coach, the seals were able to beat out Urbanna and defending champions Lake Manassas to capture the Purple Division Championships. It was truly a team effort with all of our swimmers putting forth their best effort.

QUANTICO, Va. — The unclaimed ashes of veterans may now have a proper burial thanks to new legislation that will be signed today at Quantico.
Virginia Delegate Richard Anderson, R-51, Prince William, will join Gov. Robert F. McDonnell at the Marine Corps base where he’ll sign a new bill that requires funeral home directors and crematory owners to use a computer database through Virginia’s Department of Veterans Services to check the military status of the names of unclaimed cremains, or unclaimed ashes. If the cremains belong to a military veteran, the state will now claim those ashes and give them a full military burial.
