** Virginia coronavirus trends point to winter surge, public health officials say ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

By ELISHA SAUERS, Virginian-Pilot (Metered Paywall - 2 articles a month)

Virginians need to take steps now to stop a larger surge from coming this winter, public health officials say. As the Midwest surges with new coronavirus cases and the pandemic wreaks havoc on some states along Virginia’s borders, experts believe the combination puts the state at high risk with the holidays approaching.

** Chesterfield offers in-school classes for all grade levels, a move some teachers oppose ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

By JESS NOCERA, Richmond Times-Dispatch (Metered Paywall - 7 articles a month)

Emma Clark, an eighth-grade teacher at Falling Creek Middle School, has no intention of stepping into her classroom Monday. She may lose her job over it. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, Clark does not feel safe going back into the classroom. Chesterfield County Public Schools has other plans. “So I informed my [school] administration this week that I would be happy to report to school virtually on Monday. … I had been told in no uncertain terms in two meetings with HR [human resources] that this is going to lead to the termination of my contract,” Clark said...

------------------------------------------------------------

By KATE MASTERS, Virginia Mercury

One of Virginia’s top health officials is warning medical providers about a growing number of COVID-19 outbreaks in state hospitals. Health Commissioner Dr. Norman Oliver released a new clinician letter on Friday, writing that reported COVID-19 infections in hospitals have “increased substantially” since August.

On Sept. 20, as the Rev. Steve McNally was preparing for Sunday morning Mass at the Church of the Transfiguration in Fincastle, Barbara Conti sent him a text: Can you include Gene in your prayers? Dr. Eugene Conti had been admitted the day before to an intensive care unit at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital. He was gravely ill with COVID-19.

** Amanda Chase pushes baseless fraud claims after arrests of armed supporters ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

By NED OLIVER AND GRAHAM MOOMAW, Virginia Mercury

State Sen. Amanda Chase, R-Chesterfield, advanced unfounded allegations of widespread election fraud as she rallied support for her gubernatorial campaign Saturday outside the Virginia Department of Elections. Her claims went further than even those of President Donald Trump’s campaign, which have been widely debunked, as she asserted without evidence that the supposed maleficence extended to Virginia — a state that Trump lost by more than 400,000 votes and where a Republican hasn’t won a statewide election in more than a decade.

** Virginia Beach voted for a Democratic presidential candidate for the first time since 1964 ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

By ALISSA SKELTON, Virginian-Pilot (Metered Paywall - 2 articles a month)

Presidential candidate Joe Biden won nearly all of Hampton Roads, but support for the former vice president in Virginia Beach surprised political leaders and regional election experts. The largest city in the state and richest in the region has not supported a Democratic presidential candidate since 1964, when it helped elect Lyndon Johnson with just 12,892 votes. Soon after that, the population exploded due to merger of Virginia Beach with Princess Anne County and the city became known for its predominately white suburbs that typically lean Republican.

** Die-hard fans of Northern Neck Ginger Ale aren't giving up the fight to save their favorite soda ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

By MARY MEISENZAHL, Business Insider

A regional Virginia soda is another casualty of 2020, and its small but dedicated group of fans isn't going down without a fight. Stephanie Johnson first started the "Save Northern Neck Ginger Ale" Facebook group in 2018, when she noticed a shortage on shelves at local stores. When she asked about the missing drinks, employees told her "Coca-Cola isn't sending as much anymore."

** Armed QAnon follower arrested in alleged Philly convention center threat linked to far-right Va. senator ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

By RYAN BRIGGS AND MAX MARIN, WHYY-FM

Two men arrested over an alleged threat to Philly’s ballot-counting center have been linked to far-right groups affiliated with Virginia state Senator Amanda Chase, a Republican Trump supporter and challenger in that state’s next year’s gubernatorial election....Several social media accounts linked to the man were locked as of Friday. But other users posted images from earlier in the year showing Lamotta visible alongside Sen. Chase, some at a series of rallies earlier in the year denouncing current Virginia Gov. Northam’s COVID-19 restrictions. Lamotta also stood at Chase’s side when she announced her gubernatorial bid last year, openly carrying his firearm.

------------------------------------------------------------

By ALAN SUDERMAN, Associated Press

Freshman Democratic U.S. Rep. Abigail Spanberger has kept her seat in a competitive Virginia congressional race in the Richmond suburbs. The former CIA operations officer defeated Republican challenger and state House delegate Nick Freitas in a close race that was called on Sunday.

By MICHAEL MARTZ, Richmond Times-Dispatch (Metered Paywall - 7 articles a month)

The re-election of Rep. Abigail Spanberger, D-7th, became official on Sunday, as her victory margin increased to almost 8,000 votes with the counting of absentee and provisional ballots in Henrico County. Spanberger declared victory on Wednesday, but The Associated Press didn’t call the race until 1:30 p.m. Sunday after the new Henrico vote count apparently closed the door on Del. Nick Freitas, R-Culpeper, giving her a net increase of about 3,000 votes in the county.

By ABBY CHURCH AND REED WILLIAMS, Richmond Times-Dispatch (Metered Paywall - 7 articles a month)

On the day that former Vice President Joe Biden captured the presidency with a win in Pennsylvania, supporters of President Donald Trump held a “Stop the Steal” rally in Richmond and another group celebrated several blocks away that the will of the people had prevailed. About 170 people turned out for the “Stop the Steal” rally outside the Washington Building, which is on the southeast corner of Capitol Square and houses the Virginia Department of Elections.

** Like state and nation, Fredericksburg area voters split between early voting and Election Day ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

By CATHY DYSON, Free Lance-Star (Metered Paywall - 10 articles a month)

In a year when everything else has been turned on its ear, it’s only fitting that the 2020 presidential election would be like none other. Results in the Fredericksburg region mirrored what’s happened in the rest of the state and nation: There essentially were two distinct elections for president. “One took place on Election Day and involved people who overwhelmingly favored President [Donald] Trump,” states the Virginia Public Access Project website. “The other involved those who voted early and were equally emphatic about Joe Biden.”

** Charlottesville residents dance on Downtown Mall after Biden named president elect ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

By JESSIE HIGGINS, Charlottesville Tomorrow

Late Saturday morning, a man burst out of a store on the Charlottesville Downtown Mall and cried — “Biden won Pennsylvania!” There was a moment of silence as everyone looked frantically at their phones. Then, all down the mall, people began to cheer. “It was so surreal,” said Shelley Davis, who is visiting Charlottesville with her husband Jamar for their anniversary weekend. “It was like being in a movie. Everyone started shouting and clapping.”

By LAURA VOZZELLA AND SUSAN SVRLUGA, Washington Post (Metered Paywall - 3 articles a month)

Clifton W. Potter Jr. remembers huddling around the radio as a boy on election night in 1948, waiting to hear if President Harry S. Truman would hold onto the White House. “I was allowed to stay up and listen, and sure enough, Truman won it,” recalled Potter, 80, who hailed from a family of Democrats in Lynchburg, Va. “And there was great rejoicing in our household.”

By LORI ARATANI, Washington Post (Metered Paywall - 3 articles a month)

Montgomery and Arlington counties have hired a consultant to develop alternatives to the flight paths at Reagan National Airport that have led to dramatic increases in noise complaints from residents across the region. “This will be a game changer,” said Ken Hartman, director of the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Regional Service Center and Montgomery County’s point person on the airplane noise issue. “It’s something that other airports across the country said helps them make progress.”

** Drive tired or park illegally? Truckers' dilemma getting attention ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

By JEFF STURGEON, Roanoke Times (Metered Paywall - 5 articles a month)

Freight trucks on Interstate 81 rumble through the Roanoke region by the tens of thousands every week, concentrated during daylight hours. At night, truckers bed down for legally mandated breaks and the rumble is replaced by a snore. Before hitting the pillows in their sleeping compartments, however, drivers must park their nearly 80-foot rigs. Area truck stops and rest areas fill up first, at which point drivers have limited, ad-hoc options: the shoulders of the interstate or its ramps, frontage roads, retail parking or vacant lots.

President-Elect Joe Biden is projected to become the 46th president of the United States and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, plans to continue teaching, potentially becoming the only first lady to hold a paid job outside the White House. Dr. Biden, a full-time English professor at Northern Virginia Community College, previously told “CBS Sunday Morning” in August that she would “love to” keep teaching if she became first lady after correspondent Rita Braver posed the question.

By JANE HARPER, Virginian-Pilot (Metered Paywall - 2 articles a month)

Virginia reported its highest daily number of new COVID-19 cases on Saturday, with 2,103 new cases recorded, according to Virginia Department of Health statistics. The previous highest daily number was on August 7, when there were 2,015 reported, the department’s data shows. That increase in August was due to a data backlog from earlier in the week, health officials said at the time.

The Virginia Department of Health reported Sunday that the statewide total for COVID-19 cases is 192,175, an increase of 1,302 from Saturday. The cases consist of 176,219 confirmed cases and 15,956 probable cases. There are 3,707 COVID-19 deaths in Virginia — an increase of 3 from Saturday. That includes 3,441 confirmed and 266 probable.

** COVID-19 in Southwest Virginia is surging. Some officials are skeptical that new restrictions might help. ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

By KATE MASTERS, Virginia Mercury

Dr. Karen Shelton, director of the Mount Rogers Health District in the far corner of Southwest Virginia, was prepared for the holiday season to launch a potential surge of new COVID-19 cases from mid-December to late January. But she didn’t expect the region’s current case burden, which began to rise precipitously in mid-October. After uniformly low case numbers in Southwest Virginia throughout much of the pandemic — with one county, Dickenson, that didn’t report its first infection until mid-June — the area is now driving the state’s increasing totals.

Two nursing homes in South Boston are grappling with COVID-19 as dozens of infections at the facilities have caused Halifax County’s virus caseload to spike dramatically in the past week. At least 30 people – 25 residents and five employees – have contracted the disease at The Woodview, which is being rebranded as South Boston Health and Rehab by the facility’s new owners, Saber Healthcare.

By SARAH VOGELSONG, Virginia Mercury

Chesapeake Bay states will now have specific targets for reducing pollution expected to result from climate change, officials announced Friday morning during a meeting of the Chesapeake Bay Commission. The new policy, which is in line with a plan for addressing climate change impacts first set in December 2018, goes beyond the Chesapeake Bay Program’s earlier, more qualitative approach asking states to consider the changing dynamics as part of their cleanup strategies to one that instead quantifies pollution impacts due to climate change for each watershed.

When about 20 armed men showed up for a protest outside the Newport News Police Department headquarters a few weeks back, police worked to accommodate the gun rights advocates. Police tactical officers roamed the top of the Jefferson Avenue building — just in case anything got out of hand. But police also set up a public address system for the group outside the entrance.

** Norfolk voters overwhelmingly approved a casino. But some neighborhoods were skeptical. ([link removed])

By RYAN MURPHY, Virginian-Pilot (Metered Paywall - 2 articles a month)

Once all the ballots were tallied, it was clear that Norfolk as a whole had embraced the idea of a new casino near Harbor Park. The Pamunkey Indian Tribe’s proposed resort netted 64.4% of the votes in its favor during the referendum vote that concluded Tuesday. But while that suggests widespread support, laying the vote totals on a map shows one area of Norfolk was much more split on the idea.

** 2 months later, Portsmouth’s police chief is still in limbo. Will election results change that? ([link removed])

By ANA LEY, Virginian-Pilot (Metered Paywall - 2 articles a month)

Two months have passed since Portsmouth Police Chief Angela Greene was put on leave without warning or explanation, and city leaders still won’t say whether she’ll get her job back. After voters this week elected a new mayor and two new council members, all of whom are Black, Greene’s fate seems even more tenuous. Reaction to the chief’s ouster had been largely split down racial lines, with mayoral candidate Danny Meeks, who is white, calling her reinstatement one of his top priorities. But Meeks lost to Shannon Glover.

We did more last week than vote on who the next president should be. Here are two other things that haven’t gotten as much attention as they deserve: 1. Rural counties dig deep for schools. Five rural localities in Virginia voted on whether to raise sales taxes by 1% to pay for schools. All five said yes — Charlotte, Gloucester, Henry, Northampton and Patrick.

Smart guy, Milliken. His role in getting this transition done right is to be celebrated and applauded. This is the single most important chore for VPA’s board and from all appearances it has been handled well.

** Foresman, Hasseltine, Purdy and Richardson: VMI is not a victim ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

By HENRY FORESMAN, GEORGE D. HASSELTINE, MICHAEL R. PURDY AND KYLE R. RICHARDSON, published in Richmond Times-Dispatch (Metered Paywall - 7 articles a month)

Carter Melton’s open letter to Gov. Ralph Northam reflects the feelings of many alumni who believe that Gen. J.H. Binford Peay III was a gifted leader deserving of a more graceful exit. There is no doubt that he was a transformative superintendent who led Virginia Military Institute (VMI) into the 21st century, for which we all are indebted. However, the theme in Melton’s letter that VMI somehow is the victim of a “cultural and political vendetta” must objectively be assessed with the following facts in mind:

Foresman is a 1976 graduate of VMI and lives in Woodbridge. Hasseltine is a 1997 graduate of VMI and lives in Los Altos, Calif. Purdy is a 1999 graduate of VMI and lives in Arlington. Richardson is a 2012 graduate of VMI and lives in Goshen, Ind.

By KOFI ANNAN AND CLAIRE GUTHRIE GASTAÑAGA, published in Roanoke Times (Metered Paywall - 5 articles a month)

The passage of SB5035 and HB5055 during the 2020 Special Session, which can lead to strengthened civilian oversight of law enforcement, is good news for the Commonwealth. The legislation is in keeping with national trends and is a step in the right direction towards more accountable law enforcement. Unfortunately, the legislature amended the legislation before passing it to exempt sheriff’s departments after heavy lobbying by sheriffs and their association.

Annan is the founder of The Activated People, a non-profit organization dedicated to fighting for racial and gender equity. Gastañaga is the Executive Director of the ACLU of Virginia.

** Cutler: Impact of pipelines on trails should be considered ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

By RUPERT CUTLER, published in Roanoke Times (Metered Paywall - 5 articles a month)

Some people have wondered how natural gas pipeline companies get away with buying land and laying pipe before they have the permits they will need from the federal agencies that regulate such things. It’s a fact that, once the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has issued a “certificate of public convenience and necessity,” the Natural Gas Act authorizes the private company with the certificate to proceed to exercise the governmental power of eminent domain. Then it’s “off to the races.” It can take property from private landowners over their objections to build the pipeline.

Cutler was President of Defenders of Wildlife and founding Executive Director of the Blue Ridge Land Conservancy. He served on Roanoke City Council.

The Election Administrator’s Prayer went wildly unanswered in 2020. We’re likely headed for recounts in multiple states. As this post-election phase unfolds, we can take heart for two reasons. First, despite the uncertain outcome, this country just ran a smooth presidential election — with record turnout — in a pandemic. That is a remarkable feat, especially given the many pressures on this election season on top of pandemic conditions.

Virginia Democrats should take some comfort, along with a healthy dose of concern, from Tuesday’s election results. Their statewide winning streak is still going strong, with Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden picking up the state’s 13 electoral votes and Mark R. Warner (D) winning a third Senate term. But in the contests for the U.S. House, Republicans showed flashes of the old suburban strength that made them the commonwealth’s dominant force for a generation.
