STAFFORD, Va. — Fire and rescue crews in Stafford County were called to the Rowser Building about at 9:09 p.m. Rouse Swim and Sport Center at 8:29 p.m. Thursday. The building is operated was built by the Stafford County Government.
From Stafford County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Bruce Benson:
There has been a lot of talk of late about maker spaces in education, as in dedicating space in our schools to support making things. Wikipedia defines maker culture as “a contemporary culture or subculture representing a technology-based extension of DIY culture that intersects with hacker culture (which is less concerned with physical objects as it focuses on software) and revels in the creation of new devices as well as tinkering with existing ones.” I believe maker culture is much broader than this, extending into virtually every discipline through the lens of creativity. I had the opportunity last week to visit two classrooms that clearly embraced maker culture in two very different ways.
STAFFORD, Va. — A new funding mechanism is in place to save two lakeside dams.
The Stafford County Board of Supervisors voted 7-0 for the Lake Arrowhead Service District. The body will be in charge of overseeing a county-issued loan of at least as $540,000 to repair two dams that hold back waters in two lakes — Big, and Little Lake Arrowhead — neglected since 2005 when the community’s property owners association disbanded.
STAFFORD, Va. — Two dams in Stafford County’s Lake Arrowhead neighborhood neglected since 2003 are failing, and Big and Little Arrowhead lakes could be drained leaving a muddy pit if residents choose to do nothing.
Lake Arrowhead residents at a public meeting last fall were split on whether or not to repair the dams or let them fail. Longtime residents said the dams could go and argued they 30 years ago were excluded from participating in activities hosted by the neighborhood’s HOA that dissolved in 2003.

We wrote in 2014 about a dilapidated home near the intersection of Route 1 and 610 in North Stafford.
We heard from Vinny’s this morning. Someone from the organization returned an email to us and said the restaurant reopened for business.
Vinny’s Italian Grill and Pizzeria in North Stafford is closed today.
