Fredericksburg Nationals: “The Fredericksburg Nationals are thrilled to announce Robbie Perry as the new General Manager of the club. Perry was promoted to Interim General Manager after the departure of Nick Hall in early May, but will now move forward leading the day-to-day business operations of the FredNats.”
“The Silber family [team owner] expressed their excitement at having Perry assume the helm of the club.”
Virginia State Police: “Virginia State Police continues to investigate a fatal three-vehicle crash in Stafford County. The crash occurred Wednesday (July 5) at 4:42 a.m. on Interstate 95 at the 136-mile marker.”
“A 2022 Freightliner tractor-trailer was traveling northbound in the center lane when it attempted to change lanes into the right lane and collided with a northbound 2014 Nissan Altima. The impact caused both vehicles to veer into the left lane where they collided with a northbound 2010 Subaru Forrester. All three vehicles continued off the left side of the roadway and collided with the guardrail before the tractor-trailer overturned on top of the Nissan and Subaru.”

Virginia Hospital & Healthcare Association: “Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin will join more than 500 representatives of VOICE (Virginians Organized for Interfaith Community Engagement), the Virginia Hospital & Healthcare Association, and the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police, during a Northern Virginia assembly on July 9 that is being held to highlight the impact of the mental health and drug use crisis on young people across the Commonwealth.”
“During the meeting, the members of the coalition will ask the Governor to prioritize actions to address the crisis and support those with significant new resources.”
Volunteers of America: “Volunteers of America Chesapeake & Carolinas (VOACC) will launch its annual Operation Backpack back-to-school campaign on July 7, 2023… The goal of this year’s campaign is to raise $50,000 and collect brand-new backpacks, supplies, and school uniforms to support at least 3,000 boys and girls from income-constrained families in Maryland, DC, Virginia & North Carolina.”
“Initiatives like Operation Backpack® play an important role in helping to fill the gap in academic proficiency for children who are underserved and have experienced homelessness. According to the National Center for Homeless Education, children experiencing homelessness are more likely to show delayed development and have twice the rate of learning disabilities compared to non-homeless children. Among children who experienced homelessness in the U.S. in 2018, less than 30 percent achieved academic proficiency in reading, mathematics, and science.”
“The story is told from the point of view of Mary Worthington, the eldest spirit, who serves as both the group matriarch and narrator. When items for sale arrive at the store without spirits attached, the group becomes concerned. In attempting to figure out why, the spirits discover that the old farmhouse itself conceals a century-old secret. A ‘cozy’ mystery engages the reader in the story without overly graphic violence or language.”
National Weather Service Baltimore-Washington: “The next three days will be fairly similar, featuring scattered showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening along with seasonable temperatures.”
Fredericksburg Nationals: “Delmarva plated four runs in the seventh inning to take down the Fredericksburg Nationals 7-4. The Nats jumped on Delmarva in the very first at-bat of the night, as Daylen Lile doubled. Cortland Lawson followed with a single to put runners on the corners, and then Sammy Infante singled through the right side to bring Lile home to make it 1-0 Fredericksburg.”
“In the top of the second, the FredNats again put runners on the corners with singles from Christopher De La Cruz and Daylen Lile. Daylen took off to steal second base, and an errant throw into center field allowed De La Cruz to score. But Delmarva’s throw back to the infield skipped away past third base, and Lile scored as well to push the lead to 3-0.”
