I just wanted to take a moment from a very busy news week and update the blog. Today I had another chance to cover the governor as he came to Stafford County to hail the creation of a wildlife preserve. Timothy Kaine, D-Virginia said the purchase of the 1,700-acre site is a gemstone of his goal to preserve 400,000 acres of land in four years. Kaine said he is halfway to his goal with 18 months to go.
Another major story that I covered this week was a feud between two area trash companies. Shifflett’s Trash service, based in Stafford, is looking to expand into neighboring Spotsylvania County. Davis Disposal, the company who has many Spotsy garbage customers apparently does not want the company operating in their neck of the woods.

Danny Shifflett told Spotsy authorities that William Woodrow Davis, an employee of the family-owned Davis Disposal, attacked him in broad daylight while out hanging flyers to advertise his trash service. Davis was arrested on a misdemeanor charge and later released on summons.
Late word today from the Commonwealth Attorney’s Office is that Virginia law enforcement has stopped investigating the case, citing the issue is now a civil matter that would require a lawsuit. There is much more to this story on our Web site – staffordcountysun.com- including how an unidentified member of the community is trying to get Davis out of Spotsy, due to the fact that he is a convicted violent sex offender.
