PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Aaron Nola takes the ball in Game 6 of the NL Championship Series with a couple of familiar questions swirling around him. Can he pitch the Phillies one win closer to a World Series title?If not, might this be his last start in a Philadelphia uniform?The answer to the first query is an easy one — a resounding yes.

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:46:41 GMT

Brenda Edwards loved the idea of telling lesser-known, but still important, stories about Stafford County history.In particular, she wanted to let people know there was more to Stafford’s history than being George Washington’s boyhood home.“All we hear about is Ferry Farm,” Edwards said.A three-way partnership among the Stafford Museum and Cultural Center, Stafford County Public Schools and the Stafford Education Foundation allowed Edwards to highlight those stories at Rodney Thompson Middle School.After receiving a grant through the education foundation, Edwards, Rodney Thompson’s art teacher at the time, spent a week and a half during the summer of 2021 painting a 17-by-7-foot mural that captures local history. She hoped it would compel students and parents to learn more about their surroundings.Edwards talked to local historians and did research to make the mural as accurate as possible. The mural is on display in the school’s main hallway so people can see it as soon as they ent...
