And the rest, they came to find a job.
FREDERICKSBURG — They’re clearly excited in Fredericksburg.
City officials on Tuesday posted to their Facebook page announcing the city was in the works to sign a letter of intent with the Potomac Nationals. That agreement would move the team from their home in Woodbridge, where they’ve been since 1984.
MANASSAS — Some of them like working with the K9 dogs. Others like riding in the cruiser in a simulated police pursuit.

FALMOUTH — It was clean-up time on the banks of the Rappahannock River on Monday.
The river spilled its banks over the weekend leaving large debris like trees covering the River Road in Falmouth. Large dump trucks, earth movers, and chainsaw operators were called into to remove the debris while the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office turned away motorists hoping to use the popular cut-through street that links Route 3 with Routes 1 and 17.

Deane was the longest-serving police chief in the Washington, D.C. region when he retired after 42 years with the department. One of the original 42 officers that formed the Prince William County Police Department in 1970, Deane served as its second leader for 24 years, from 1988 to 2012.
STAFFORD — A wife, mother of six, and strategic planner, now Vangie Williams will add another title to her resume — congressional candidate.
Williams, of King George, won the Democratic nomination to run for a seat in the U.S. House in Virginia’s 1st District, a seat long held by Republican Rob Wittman. Williams beat her two challengers in Tuesday’s Democratic Primary Election Edwin Santana, of Stafford, by seven points, and Prince William County native turned Hanover County resident John Suddarth by nearly 13 points.
