DUMFRIES — Dumfries will celebrate its founding again after a brief hiatus.
The annual festival took off last year, but the festivities to honor Virginia oldest, continuously chartered are back return Saturday, May 12.
JES Foundation Repair was recently honored with a Fantastic 50 award for being one of the 50 fastest growing companies in Virginia. Since 1998, JES is one of eight companies in the state to achieve the award five times. The Fantastic 50 award program is organized and sponsored by the Virginia Chamber of Commerce.
“We’re humbled to be recognized alongside such outstanding Virginia companies” said Cary McGuckin, CMO. “It’s a testament to our employees who are always willing to go the extra mile and to the homeowners who put their trust in us.”
Hematology Oncology Associates of Fredericksburg (HOAF), a healthcare organization recognized for providing world-class cancer care in state-of-the-art facilities, is expanding its practice to a second location in Stafford County that will offer the same level of care and treatment for cancer patients across a wider range of the Northern Virginia region.
The 7,048 square-foot cancer care office, located at 125 Woodstream Boulevard in Stafford and scheduled to open on Monday, May 14, will be known as Hematology Oncology Associates of Fredericksburg at Stafford.
Being early is ideal for a lot of things, but it can be a game-changer when it comes to a stroke.

DUMFRIES — Derrick Wood will be the next Dumfries mayor.
He beat his opponent Cliff Brewer by more than 46 points in Tuesday’s town election. Wood will replace Mayor Gerald Foreman who did not seek re-election after serving two terms as mayor, as well as a term on the town council before he was elected Mayor in 2012.
From a press release:
Suspicious Incident – On April 28 at 7:42PM, officers responded to the 4500 block of Forestburg Ln in Triangle (22172) to investigate suspicious pamphlets depicting hate propaganda found on multiple residential lawns in the area.
After morning frost across the region this morning, the risk of fire will prevail today as temperatures and wind speeds increase.
A Red Flag Warning is in effect today between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m., according to the National Weather Service. Winds gusting up to 35 mph coupled with low relative humidity will make for favorable fire conditions.
“Maybe it’s because I’m a terrible optimist,” said Turner.
That’s the long-talked-about development that would be built along Main Street in Dumfries, as the town’s first mixed-use development with retail shops at street level and residences above. It’s the kind of development the town needs to attract more business. The project is coming along, albeit slowly.
Miles is no stranger to town politics, as she’s served on the town’s Planning Commission overseeing applications for new development, as well as maintaining the town’s historic district complete with a handful of old homes that surrounds Dumfries Elementary School.
Being elected to the town council is the next logical step in her path toward public service, she said.
