Picture yourself hiking along a three-mile trail through Mason Neck Park looking over sweeping views of 250 acres of Great Marsh. Now imagine being in the forest and having no idea how to find your way back to your car. That’s the type of situation Life Scout, Noah Ventura, wanted to help visitors to Mason Neck Park avoid.

When Noah Ventura began looking for a service project for his Eagle Scout rank, he wanted to do something that would enhance the community. One of the first things he thought about was Mason Neck Park. Noah and his family often use Mason Neck Park, the first national wildlife refuge established specifically for the protection of the bald eagle.


An Army of Home Depot associates descended on the Hawkins-Reeve VFW Post 7916 this week. Their weapon: hammers, paintbrushes, and boundless energy. Their mission: improve the physical infrastructure of the Post fellowship hall and community space. Following a day of patriotic volunteerism, the Post fellowship hall once again looks vibrant!

Awarded a $2500 grant by the Home Depot Foundation and Team Depot for FY2016 the efforts of the Foundation and the Home Depot associates enhanced the physical infrastructure of the Post. The post home is a 100-year-old building that is a challenge for a not-for-profit veteran service organization to maintain.

Stafford’s voters spoke loud and clear last year in the Griffis-Widewater school board race. 

Hopefully, they’ll do the right thing, yet again, as they select their school board representative in less than two weeks.  Stafford families deserve a representative with fresh ideas and 21st-century thinking to solve 21st-century education challenges.  Someone with a vested interest in seeing the school division continue on its  critical path the excellence.
