plunges to death
A Maryland man was pronounced dead early Sunday morning after the golf cart he was driving went over a 15-foot embankment and plunged into the Potomac River, according to police in West Virginia.
Police said it appeared Marshall Marks, 60, of New Market, Md., had been trying to turn the cart around on a narrow trail early Sunday shortly after midnight when he lost control of the cart.

Vandals close water park
The WaterWorks Waterpark in Prince William County was closed after vandals tossed hamburger patties, french fries and pretzels into the pool and smeared mozzarella cheese on the water slide.
Prince William officials said the mischief was done Friday night at WaterWorks. The facility was shut down over the weekend so workers could drain, sanitize and refill the pool.
Officials say in addition to the food, someone threw tables, chairs, lifeguard stands and cigarette butts into the water.
