the importance of swimming lessons for young children is taking center stage A 3-year-old was found unresponsive in a backyard pool on Foxgate Quarter near Woodbridge Drive on Sunday morning but unfortunately passed away on Wednesday described the situation as a "nightmare scenario." He emphasized the need for swimming education recalling how he taught his children and grandchildren to swim at an early age Quane’s family has embraced aquatic activities with many members being avid swimmers and scuba divers Senior Aquatics Director at the Greenbrier Family YMCA She pointed out that drowning is the leading cause of death for children aged 1 to 4 Causby says the YMCA offers swim lessons for children as young as 6 months old with options available for children all the way up to adults “Swimming is a life-saving skill,” Causby emphasized “We start with parent-child classes and have programs running year-round Causby noted that the lessons are conducted in small groups to ensure individualized attention for each child “We usually have 30-minute sessions with a maximum of four kids allowing us to focus on their swimming skills without losing their attention.” Causby plans to introduce her baby to water safety early on “They’ll likely start learning some basic safety skills not long after they're a few months old,” she said Quane advises families to consider adding fencing or barriers around their pools for an additional layer of safety that could potentially save lives For more information on local YMCA swim lessons, click here St. Elizabeth School students and guests arrive at the school's prom at the Chesapeake Inn in Chesapeake City, Maryland, on May 2, 2025.

additional climate emphasis Monie Bay in Somerset County is a site where staff from DNR’s Watershed and Climate Services monitor and implement the latest science to protect coastal areas from the effects of climate change as part of the Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve program The Maryland Department of Natural Resources has officially rebranded its Chesapeake and Coastal Service with the name Watershed and Climate Services a name that recognizes its mission as well as its commitment to serving all Maryland communities and watersheds The new identity emphasizes the unit’s ongoing dedication to healthy watersheds “Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing Maryland today and the Department of Natural Resources is a leader in addressing and mitigating the effects of climate such as stronger storms and rising sea levels in the state,” DNR Secretary Josh Kurtz said “By rebranding our Watershed and Climate Services we want to emphasize that we have a dedicated team working hard on these issues Watershed and Climate Services is using the latest science to build resilience to climate change while also protecting the Chesapeake Bay watershed and watersheds throughout Maryland.” The effects of climate change are already apparent in Maryland with increased flooding Climate change will touch all aspects of Maryland’s natural resources and adapting to its impacts will go hand-in-hand with action directed at preserving and protecting watersheds Watershed and Climate Services, or WCS, will continue its climate and watershed work by strengthening shorelines, funding stream restorations, advancing environmental education, and coordinating large-scale projects like the five restoration efforts of the Whole Watershed Act The rebranding also broadens the unit’s commitment to restoration work throughout the state of Maryland A watershed is a geographic area where all water goes into the same stream such as the Chesapeake Bay or the Atlantic Ocean While much of Maryland is in the Chesapeake Bay watershed parts of the state drain directly to the Atlantic Ocean or the Youghiogheny River which is part of the Mississippi River watershed Watershed and Climate Services operates MyCoast which documents photos submitted by the public to track flooding and weather events including this flooding in Grasonville after a storm in August 2024 The rebranding reflects a commitment to DNR’s existing values while enhancing its focus on building a stronger “We are going to continue our focus on the coast and the Chesapeake Bay but we’re also bringing our expertise and support to all watersheds in Maryland,” said Dr director of the newly named Watershed and Climate Services “Water does not know our jurisdictional boundaries and all of Maryland’s ecosystems and communities are interconnected by water A holistic watershed approach allows us to manage that water from the mountains to the coast and from upstream communities to downstream communities.” Watershed and Climate Services delivers support through partnerships with governmental and nongovernmental organizations to collectively tackle watershed and coastal issues With its expertise in watershed management and restoration planning the unit will provide leadership for regional planning projects to protect natural resources WCS takes a strategic approach to policy and funding supporting projects that build sustainability against climate change and watershed management issues Maryland.gov — A 3-year-old who was found unresponsive in a pool over the

driving the institutions’ academic Chesapeake Bay Hall houses much of the lab-based science essential to the research education and advisory services occurring at William & Mary's Batten School & VIMS The following story originally appeared on the website for W&M’s Batten School & VIMS staff and faculty at William & Mary’s Batten School & VIMS joined university leadership and state representatives to celebrate the newest building on the Gloucester Point campus “The addition of this state-of-the-art research facility to our campus marks a milestone in the storied 85-year history of VIMS,” remarked Derek Aday dean of the Batten School of Coastal & Marine Sciences and director of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science during a brief ceremony that also included Virginia Senator Ryan McDougle W&M Provost Peggy Agouris and W&M Rector Charles E “Each of the research areas housed in this building help ensure that we stay squarely focused on and ahead of the challenges faced by coastal communities by providing practical solutions and science-based advice to our policy makers along with the new undergraduate degree in coastal and marine sciences represents the incredible opportunities ahead for both current and future students,” Provost Agouris added “As William & Mary recognizes the Year of the Environment it’s especially fitting to celebrate this space where students and faculty will be immersed in innovative research and transformative learning.” The ceremony continued with brief remarks by Poston participants were welcomed inside the new building for self-guided tours featuring representatives from more than a dozen laboratories The Batten School & VIMS are among the world’s leading institutions for coastal and marine sciences and advisory services can work complimentarily to advance the academic economic and environmental interests of Virginia “We are appreciative that VIMS recognizes how important it is to take academic and educational research and turn it into something that directly impacts the commonwealth and the business environment,” said Senator McDougle 68,240-square-foot Chesapeake Bay Hall—adorned with a large map of the Chesapeake Bay on its northern end—was funded by the Commonwealth of Virginia at a cost of $76 million The building consolidates and upgrades the laboratories of dozens of researchers in an environment that promotes safety “One of the best things about this building is the way that it is organized It’s going to foster a lot of interdisciplinary engagement that will benefit our translational research and the education of our students,” said Professor Ryan Carnegie whose staff were testing samples of juvenile oysters traveling into the state for diseases just hours before it hosted tours the Batten School will welcome its first class of William & Mary undergraduates majoring in coastal and marine sciences The addition of Chesapeake Bay Hall’s cutting-edge research facilities backed by transformative philanthropic support will aid in the recruitment of the most promising undergraduate and graduate students dedicated to finding solutions for issues impacting Virginia and beyond Liam Green is an MS-bypass student studying under the mentorship of Assistant Professor Meredith Evans Seeley whose research focuses on the impacts of plastic pollution on marine ecosystems They were busy providing tours of Seeley’s laboratory which benefits from advanced instruments that can detect and analyze even the smallest samples of plastic found in the environment having a brand-new laboratory and seeing it built from the ground up” said Green who hopes to pursue a career in environmental research and teaching “A lot of what we’re doing right now is setting up the new equipment that was installed in the lab so that we can build up a reference library for all of the environmental samples we will be collecting this summer.” Chesapeake Bay Hall also incorporates a focus on public outreach and engagement with a first-floor teaching lab available for hosting groups wishing to learn more about the application of marine and coastal sciences Assistant Professor Manuel Colombo is a broadly trained biogeochemist and oceanographer who strives to understand the complex interactions between trace elements and organic carbon across diverse ecosystems He has worked everywhere from the Amazon to the Arctic Ocean and some of the equipment found in his lab is so sensitive that he and his students must follow strict procedures to prevent the contamination of research samples “One of the core areas of my research is in coastal environments chemical and physical gradients shape the movement and transformation of materials I focus on understanding the processes that drive chemical distributions from rivers to the open ocean — large dynamic and interconnected systems that are both scientifically fascinating and challenging to study,” said Colombo “The new building allows me to work at both ends of the spectrum — from ultra-clean trace element analysis to sophisticated organic geochemistry — because it has the proper space and specialized equipment to process a wide variety of samples.” Chesapeake Bay Hall was designed by architectural firm Baskervill Construction was overseen by Kjellstrom and Lee and began in 2022 It was built to LEED Silver Certification standards incorporating elements designed to reduce energy consumption promote the use of recycled materials and enhance the safety of its occupants The building was also designed to support existing needs while providing flexibility to adapt for future uses Whether it’s analyzing the distribution of rare-earth elements in arctic currents testing shellfish for diseases that could impact Virginia’s thriving aquaculture industry studying the effects of environmental pollutants on marine life or hosting a class of eighth-grade aspiring scientists Chesapeake Bay Hall ensures the Batten School & VIMS will remain at the forefront of coastal and marine sciences for decades — Police say a three-year-old child was found unresponsive in a pool in Chesapeake Sunday

has been ongoing for more than twenty years The $128.5 million phase 2 involves construction of the western half of the Chesapeake Bypass between the SR 527/SR 7 interchange in Chesapeake east to SR 775 in Proctorville Phase 2 is approximately 6 miles and includes the construction of a 2-lane highway with some 4-lane sections and truck climbing lanes There will also be a full interchange at SR 775 A 14-foot-tall concrete noise wall will be placed along the southern edge of the roadway to reduce traffic noise to nearby homes in three areas including those located in the Brentwood neighborhood “This project has been a top priority for the region for many years Not only will it improve safety and mobility for local residents and freight traffic it will also support economic development and quality of life across Lawrence County,” said ODOT District 9 Deputy Director Michael Dombrowski construction of the project is being completed in phases Phase 1 included the construction of a new 4.7-mile 2-lane limited access highway from SR 775 in Proctorville to existing SR 7 in Rome Township It also included a connection between the 31st Street Bridge (East Huntington Bridge) and existing SR 775 in Proctorville Improving SafetyThe existing section of SR 7 between SR 527 and SR 775 has numerous private driveway and public road intersections This section of SR 7 is congested and has high cash rates with between 9,000 and 11,000 vehicles using the roadway every day there have been 230 crashes in this corridor including 3 fatalities and 4 serious injuries Nearly half of all crashes on this section of SR 7 were rear-end crashes Completion of Phase 2 of the project will allow traffic to bypass this high-congestion area The bypass will also include three emergency access points in the Brentwood Subdivision and Dogwood Lane for times when the Ohio River floods local roads The bypass is well above the 50-year flood level meaning travel should not be impacted by flooding on the Ohio River What’s NextWork to clear vegetation from the right-of-way began last winter Utility relocation will continue until mid to late July Crews plan to begin working around County Road 69 (Indian Guyan Road) and head east toward SR 775. All work on the project is scheduled to be completed by the fall of 2028 The detailed project schedule is still in the process of being created Planning For the FutureTwo additional future phases of the project would upgrade the freeway to four lanes Funding for phases 3 and 4 has not been committed Mikaela BruningDistrict 9

Monday as officials broke ground on a massive undersea cable manufacturing factory in Chesapeake The project from a South Korean cable company will eventually serve national and global wind energy projects and represents the largest investment in the city’s history But despite the rosy outlook from officials president of South Korean company LS Cable & System told American and South Korean media after the ceremonial groundbreaking But Koo said there aren’t many competitors manufacturing this kind of miles-long copper cable for the wind industry you’ll still have that market and the pricing will be adjusted.” announced last July it would build a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in Chesapeake along the Elizabeth River’s Southern Branch The 750,000-square-foot facility is expected to be open by 2028 turning out lengths of cable kilometers long that will be loaded directly onto boats from the factory It’ll primarily serve customers in Europe and North America and Koo said it already has its first customer Orders from Tennet and others are filling up into the 2030s and Koo said the company is already talking about expanding the yet-to-be-built facility He also said the company is looking for ways to hedge the risk from the ongoing trade war such as sourcing more raw materials locally but I think we can de-risk quite a lot of it where business can be still as usual and hopefully everything will be back to normal soon.” Youngkin did not take media questions about the potential impacts of President Donald Trump’s policies on Virginia businesses LS Greenlink received a $99 million federal tax credit under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act but the renewable energy industry is worried about the fate of those incentives under Trump and that's one of the reasons why we chose America,” said Patrick Shim Shim said the incentive isn’t “free money;”LS Greenlink will only get the tax credits if it invests what it promised Shim said the facility would cost $681 million to build already the largest single investment in Chesapeake’s history The facility would employ 330 people and become the state's tallest building A 660-foot tower used in the manufacturing process will unseat the Westin hotel in Virginia Beach currently the state’s tallest building at 508 feet Chesapeake had been marketing the 96-acre brownfield site on the Elizabeth River’s Southern Branch for decades The former industrial site was used for spoils when the river was dredged LS Greenlink’s facility won’t use the whole site Get local news every weekday in your

Wes Moore and Maryland Department of Natural Resources Secretary Josh Kurtz talk with Maryland Conservation Corps members at Wye Island Natural Resources Management Area This legislation builds upon the administration’s historic efforts to improve the Chesapeake Bay’s water quality introduces comprehensive changes to support regenerative agriculture and streamlines oyster aquaculture — providing new economic pathways for farmers and uplifting critical Maryland industries “The Chesapeake Bay is one of our state’s most powerful vehicles for economic growth and a treasured heirloom that must be protected,” said Gov “I’m proud to introduce the Chesapeake Bay Legacy Act to help us execute a comprehensive strategy that uplifts every sector of our Bay economy – from agriculture to aquaculture Because prioritizing conservation and environmental protection isn’t just the responsible thing to do – it will also help us create jobs and build new pathways to work future water clarity improvements could significantly increase property values in the state the bill would enable the Maryland Department of Natural Resources to provide longer term public land leases for state agricultural land to farmers who build healthy soil through regenerative practices and traditions which draw from indigenous and traditional land management practices to improve soil health Long-term leases will ease barriers of entry for farmers interested in practicing regenerative techniques by providing them with access to acreage to grow their products sustainably “The state’s leased agricultural lands provide a great opportunity to support agricultural best practices in Maryland,” said Maryland Department of Natural Resources Secretary Josh Kurtz Maryland can partner with farmers who use regenerative techniques and provide an example on our public lands for how farms can produce healthy food that helps us reach our clean water goals of swimmable and fishable waters throughout Maryland.” just nine percent of farmers were under the age of 35 while the average age of a beginning farmer–someone who has farmed for less than 10 years–was 47 Lowering the barrier to entry for new farmers will help Maryland’s agricultural industry evolve and grow The bill would also establish the Leaders in Environmentally Engaged Farming Program allowing the Maryland Department of Agriculture to recognize and further incentivize the work of farmers who promote best management practices and community engagement as part of watershed restoration efforts Continuing to leverage conservation cornerstones such as riparian buffers and cover crops the legislation seeks to build partnerships that connect industry with innovative incentives to address environmental goals Built for lifelong farmers and beginning growers alike the program is intended to promote practices that contribute to a resilient food system and support communities across the state that farmers feed “Enhancing our agricultural practices is vital for the health of the Chesapeake Bay and our communities,” said Maryland Department of Agriculture Secretary Kevin Atticks “The Bay Legacy Act will empower farmers to adopt sustainable methods that not only protect our waterways but also enhance food production and community engagement By supporting best practices through the Leaders in Environmentally Engaged Farming Program we are ensuring that Maryland leads the way in environmentally responsible farming while fostering a healthier ecosystem for future generations.” To provide cleaner waterways and community benefits to local areas the proposed legislation expands water quality monitoring in the state to help evaluate Chesapeake Bay restoration efforts The expanded monitoring data can be used by the state to target pollution reduction practices to the places where the projects have the lowest cost and maximum benefit for improving water quality while allowing Marylanders to better understand the water quality in their communities To support the growing aquaculture industry in the state the bill would streamline the review process for aquaculture leases to promote efficiency and give leaseholders the ability to continue operations while they wait for permit renewals In recognition of the important ecological role that oysters provide in improving water quality the bill empowers the Maryland Department of the Environment to authorize oyster restoration projects to be eligible for water quality trading credits to spur more oyster restoration work “This legislation is driving economic growth while protecting our natural resources,” said Maryland Department of Environment Secretary Serena McIlwain “From creating hundreds of jobs through innovative aquaculture projects to boosting farm profitability and supporting tourism these initiatives strengthen our economy and ensure a sustainable future for all Marylanders.” The bill outlines a number of other changes for Bay
