Virginia’s upcoming leaders face pressure to reduce toxic pollutants in Chesapeake Bay as environmental groups warn that emerging contaminants like microplastics and PFAS threaten water quality and human health. The Chesapeake Bay Foundation called for closing regulatory loopholes and strengthening penalties for polluters — measures that will be debated as the elections approach.

Several people in Hampton Roads and northeastern North Carolina heard a loud boom Sunday evening, with some saying it sounded like an explosion—or a car crash. Authorities have not confirmed the source and the US Geological Survey reported no seismic activity at that time.

The Virginia Beach Sheriff’s Office was honored with a Community Leader award during the Virginia Diverse Chamber of Commerce & Industry’s 2nd Annual Small Business Parade Walk Celebration on Saturday at 2nd Street at the Oceanfront. Sheriff Rocky Holcomb said the award recognized the office’s service and community programs, and local leaders such as Mayor Bobby Dyer, Bon Secours and Sentara Healthcare were also celebrated—showing strong local dedication.
