From University of Mary Washington: 

Legendary singer Tony Bennett and award-winning actress Kristin Chenoweth will headline the University of Mary Washington Philharmonic’s 2016-17 season. The announcement was made at a special event for the Friends of the UMW Philharmonic on Friday, June 17.
 
Bennett will perform for the holiday concert on Friday, Dec. 9, in Dodd Auditorium. Winner of 17 Grammy Awards and seven Emmys, the celebrated singer has sold millions of albums worldwide. A jazz vocalist, Bennett recorded his first hit, “Because of You,” in 1951 and made a career singing standards, including his signature song, “I Left My Heart in San Francisco.” His career waned in the 1960s with the popularity of rock music, but rallied again in the 1990s. Tickets will go on sale Oct. 24 to the general public, Oct. 10 to Friends of the Philharmonic.

Three people were rescued from the Rappahannock River late Sunday night.

Fire crews from Fredericksburg and Stafford County found three people stranded on a rock at 9:25 p.m. The family of two adults and a child used a cell phone to call for help.

*UPDATE: Ref Potomac Plaza, the situation is resolved. One person found deceased. RT1 has opened. Partial restrictions to the parking lot

Terry Sharp is walking 300 miles from Summerville, N.C. to Washington, D.C. to bring awareness to the 22+ veterans that commit suicide each day. It would be nice if your paper would cover some of this. He will be in Manassas on June 19th.
