Tear them down or leave them up?
Two dams in the Lake Arrowhead subdivision in Stafford County are at risk of failing. The dams hold back water in Big Lake Arrowhead, and in Little Lake Arrowhead in the community of single family homes in the northwestern section of the county.
The large dam holding back "Big Lake Arrowhead" is a "high risk" dam while the smaller dam for the small lake is considered a low-risk dam. If the dams fail, homes in the adjacent Hidden Lake neighborhood will be in the path of rushing water and could be lost.

Stafford County will create a place to honor its residents who served and died in war.
The Silver Companies donated $100,000 to the effort to construct an Armed Services Memorial at the Stafford Government Center. The donation brought the fundraising campaign more than 70 percent to its $675,000 goal of fully funding the memorial.
"It allows us to go ahead to have those ceremonies, to have those special events, and even for the good government workers in the Gordon Building [Stafford government center] who serve us so well in Stafford County, a great place for them to have lunch," said Lt. Gen. Ron Christmas, USMC (Ret.), who serves on the memorial commission. "For us, it will be a wonderful place to take your children and grand kids, to sit back and recognize service and sacrifice and recognize those who took the time to serve to make our country is the great country it is today."

Buster Wayne has a growth that needs to be removed.
He is a dog that belongs to a 17-year-old girl from Charlottesville who recently lost both of her parents who were killed in a car crash. Now in the care of a state social worker, Buster Wayne is all the 17-year-old girl has left.
Social services contacted the Saint Seton's Orphaned Animals charity which works with Loving Touch Animal Hosptial in Route 1 in Stafford County. Buster Wayne was brought there three weeks ago, where veterinarians found the dog suffering from a tick-bourne disease.
