Jackson Holliday, the No. 2 prospect in baseball, is on his way to Baltimore to potentially rejoin the Orioles, two sources with direct knowledge confirmed to The Baltimore Sun.

The team has yet to announce a roster move, and it’s unclear when he could rejoin the club. The Orioles play Wednesday afternoon at Camden Yards before heading to Cleveland to face the Guardians for a four-game series beginning Thursday. Holliday was not in the lineup for Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday night.

Holliday, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 draft, is hitting .271 with a .908 OPS in Triple-A this season. If he’s recalled, it will be his second stint in the major leagues after the 20-year-old struggled in his first MLB action, going just 2 for 34 with 18 strikeouts before being demoted.

The Baltimore Banner was first to report Holliday was on his way to Baltimore.

In a report released last week, the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs identified problems at the medical center related to surgical services and how leadership there addressed quality management concerns.

“We take allegations of oversight and misconduct seriously and have strengthened our policies and procedures to ensure consistent, high-quality care from licensed professionals,” said Terrence Hayes, the VA’s press secretary, in a Tuesday statement. “We plan to fully implement all recommendations by December.”

The Hampton facility recently confirmed it was replacing several top officials, including its director, chief of staff and chief of surgery.

The OIG launched its review following multiple complaints it received about the center in 2022.

“We got some concerns about surgical quality so we engaged with the facility trying to get some response,” said Julie Kroviak, the department’s principal deputy assistant inspector general for health care inspections. “We then sent further questions to the regional office — and after that we just became more concerned about the quality review processes.”

Kroviak said the report can get a “little bit technical” but shouldn’t be dismissed.

“I think it can be written off as ‘Oh just some detailed processes weren’t followed by clinical leaders.’ But those processes are so critical to the foundation of a patient’s safety program,” she said. “If the highest levels of leadership are not aware of them, truly not aware of them, there are so many places for things to go seriously wrong.”

For example, the report found that after concerns were raised about patient safety, facility leaders issued a summary suspension of the assistant chief of surgery’s clinical privileges in January 2023. But it says the surgeon’s clinical privileges were restored after facility leaders failed to follow required protocol. The surgeon transferred to another VA health facility in June 2023, which “precluded facility leaders from correcting the process, including initiating additional actions,” the report states.

The Hampton center serves southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. From Oct. 1, 2021, through Sept. 30, 2022, the center served more than 66,000 patients.

The report states OIG received a complaint, which included five patient case examples, in December 2022 that the assistant chief of surgery provided poor surgical care and that the chief of staff was aware of the concerns but did not address them.

After OIG requested additional information, the Veterans Integrated Service Network responded and said the facility conducted a focused clinical care review of 15 cases performed by the assistant chief of surgery. It found six cases did not meet the standard of care and four of those had intraoperative complications, including one patient who experienced a laceration of the liver and another who underwent surgery in concerningly close proximity to having received chemoradiation therapy.

The report states OIG opened its hotline inspection in May 2023. During this review, widespread failures and deficiencies were identified related to facility leaders’ responses to care concerns and subsequent privileging actions involving the assistant chief of surgery, professional practice evaluations of surgeons, surgical service quality management and institutional disclosures.

“The findings identified through this inspection highlight not only failures of facility leaders to ensure that the required processes were appropriately implemented, but also a lack of leaders’ basic understanding of the processes that support delivery of safe health care,” the report states.

The report provided a dozen recommendations, including that summary suspensions, clinical care reviews and proposed revocation of privileges are conducted in accordance with the requirements and policies of the Veterans Health Administration. It further advised the center to ensure that ongoing professional practice evaluations include documentation of all conclusionary outcomes.

In his statement, Hayes said the VA fully supported OIG’s findings.

Hayes said a new team is meeting bi-weekly to address OIG’s recommendations with a target year-end completion goal. He said the facility has introduced a new reporting tool to track clinical care metrics, suspensions, privilege changes, state board reports and ongoing evaluations. Additionally, the facility has initiated monthly patient risk meetings in surgery services.

Hayes noted Michael Harper is taking on the role of acting medical center director until Aug. 5. Harper will then be replaced by Walt Dannenberg, who currently serves as the medical center director of the Long Beach VA Medical Center in California. Hayes said the leadership changes were done to “align with the VA’s commitment to high-reliability principles” but were not directly related to the report.

The House of Representatives’ Committee on Veterans’ Affairs also recently completed an investigation into the Hampton VA Medical Center after lawmakers said they received credible complaints about patient safety concerns and medical incompetence. As a result of the investigation, the committee announced last week that the center was making a series of personnel changes.

Old Dominion linebacker Jason Henderson was among 75 players named to the Bronko Nagurski Trophy watch list on Tuesday.

The award is presented to the top defensive player in the country chosen by the Football Writers Association of America and the Charlotte Touchdown Club.

Henderson, a two-time All-American, led the country in tackles per game the past two seasons. He finished with 14.2 stops per game last season and 170 total tackles.

Virginia Tech defensive tackle Aeneas Peeples, Virginia safety Jonas Sanker, Liberty linebacker CJ Bazile and safety Brylan Green and East Carolina cornerback Shavon Revel also made the list.

Two W&M stars on Payton list

William & Mary left tackle Charles Grant, a former Churchland High star, and running back Bronson Yoder are among 35 players who have been named to the Walter Payton Award preseason watch list.

The award is presented to the FCS national offensive player of the year. Known as the Heisman of the FCS, it is named for legendary running back Walter Payton, who starred at Jackson State as part of his Hall of Fame career.

Richmond wide receiver Nick DeGennaro also made the list.

Grant, who enters his fourth season as a starter, was one of only three offensive linemen to make the list. He ranked as the CAA’s top tackle in pass blocking efficiency last season and allowed just one sack on 334 pass-blocking snaps.

Yoder enters his final season ranked among the Tribe’s career top-10 lists in rushing yards (2,660, eighth), rushing touchdowns (25, eighth) and all-purpose yards (4,322, fifth).

DeGennaro led the Spiders with 71 receptions for 904 yards and tied a program record with 11 touchdown catches last season.

Liberty center makes Outland list

Liberty center Jordan White has been named to the Outland Trophy preseason watch list.

The award is presented to the top interior linemen in college football.

White, a native of Largo, Maryland, and a transfer from West Virginia, was an All-Conference USA first-team selection last season and helped the Flames finish No. 1 in the country in rushing offense (293.3 yards per game).

• Cardinal Gibbons High (North Carolina) offensive tackle Jack Sheehan (6-6, 310) announced Tuesday on social media that he has committed to Old Dominion.

Now he will serve the maximum allowable sentence.

Justin Lee Palmer, 44, of Jonesboro, was sentenced July 25 to 30 years in federal prison without the possibility of parole and a lifetime of supervised release on a production of child pornography charge, according to a July 26 news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Arkansas.

Palmer pleaded guilty to the charge Aug. 4, 2023, court records show.

“A vile, disgusting, reprobate has finally received his due,” U.S. Attorney Jonathan D. Ross said in the release.

McClatchy News reached out to Palmer’s attorney for comment July 30 but did not immediately hear back.

Authorities first learned of Palmer during a 2020 investigation into the sexual abuse of a 9-year-old girl which was filmed and distributed to users on KIK, a messaging app, officials said.

The FBI identified Palmer, username “skipdinnergetmethin,” as someone who received the video of the abuse, according to court records.

Further investigation into Palmer revealed that he “used the screen name ’skipdinnergetmethin’ to pose as a 15-year-old girl and coach teen and preteen girls how to be anorexic,” officials said.

“Palmer instructed girls to perform a variety of humiliating and harmful acts while they were naked so that they would feel disgusted with themselves and be motivated to lose weight,” according to officials.

FBI Little Rock Special Agent in Charge Alicia D. Corder called Palmer’s actions “revolting and deplorable.”

Predations ’far beyond the typical scope’

Investigators found saved conversations on Palmer’s phone between him and his victims in which he asked their weight “stats,” called them pigs and directed them to take photos and videos of themselves naked, court records show.

Palmer’s phone contained 38 images and 49 videos of one 13-year-old girl, 71 of which showed sexual acts, according to court records.

“Palmer’s predations went far beyond the typical scope of production cases,” Ross said in a sentencing memo, calling the abuse “calculated and cruel.”

He encouraged the girls to “drink toilet water, cut into their skin, urinate into a bottle and drink it, masturbate with household objects, and cover their skin in shameful phrases about their weight,” according to court records.

“The humiliation, self-hatred, and physical pain these victims — known and unknown — suffered as a result of Palmer’s lies and manipulation was, and likely continues to be, undoubtedly profound,” Ross said.

When his body arrived at the funeral home, after undergoing a state autopsy, the undertaker told the family that the 43-year-old’s internal organs were missing. The family said they had not given permission for his organs to be retained or destroyed.

Moore said her daughter and other son drove four hours to the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where the autopsy had been performed, and picked up a sealed red bag containing what they were told was their brother’s organs. They buried the bag along with him.

“We should not be here. This is something out of science fiction. Any human would not believe that something so barbaric is happening,” Kelvin’s brother Simone Moore, said Tuesday.

Six families, who had loved ones die in the state prison system, have filed lawsuits against the commissioner of the Alabama Department of Corrections and others, saying their family members’ bodies were returned to them missing internal organs after undergoing state-ordered autopsies. The families crowded into a Montgomery courtroom Tuesday for a brief status conference in the consolidated litigation.

“We will be seeking more answers about what happened to these organs and where they ended up,” Lauren Faraino, an attorney representing the families said after court. Faraino said there are additional families who are affected.

In one of the lawsuits, another family said a funeral home in 2021 similarly told them that “none of the organs had been returned” with their father’s body after his death while incarcerated.

The lawsuits also state that a group of UAB medical students in 2018 became concerned that a disproportionate number of the specimens they encountered during their medical training originated from people who had died in prison. They questioned if families of incarcerated people had the same ability as other patients’ families to request that organs be returned with the body.

UAB, in an earlier statement about the dispute, said that the Alabama Department of Corrections was “responsible for obtaining proper authorizations from the appropriate legal representative of the deceased.” “UAB does not harvest organs from bodies of inmates for research as has been reported in media reports,” the statement read.

UAB spokesperson Hannah Echols said in an emailed statement Tuesday that sometimes that organs are kept for additional testing if a pathologist believes it is needed to help determine the cause of death.

The University of Alabama System, which includes UAB, is a defendant in the lawsuits. Lawyers for the university system indicated they will file a motion to dismiss the lawsuits. UAB no longer does autopsies for the state prison system.

The Alabama Department of Corrections did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

That could change soon. The recent announcement by a submarine cable manufacturer that it will build a massive facility in Chesapeake may well be the spark our region needs to finally ignite its potential as a hub for renewable energy production and innovation, bringing broad benefit to Hampton Roads and the larger commonwealth.

Earlier this month, Gov. Glenn Youngkin joined local and state officials, as well as regional economic development leaders, to welcome the news that LS Greenlink USA, a subsidiary of South Korean-based LS Cable & System, plans to build a new manufacturing facility in Chesapeake.

The company makes a variety of cables for use in utility networks, including those used underwater for renewable energy projects — such as the offshore wind turbines proliferating along the East Coast, of which Dominion’s project is one of many expected to ramp up construction in the coming years.

The 750,000-square-foot center is expected to cost $681 million to build and, when complete, will create more than 330 full-time jobs. Those roles are expected to be geared toward engineering and machine operators, and company officials said that salaries for those workers would exceed the industry average.

The new facility will be constructed at the Deep Water Terminal Site, a brownfield reclamation property along the Elizabeth River, and takes advantage of the area’s geography, with ready access to the Port of Virginia and egress to the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean.

Notably, because of the company’s unique manufacturing process that uses gravity to center the heavier components within the cable, the new facility will include a 660-foot tower, making it the tallest building in Virginia. (At 508 feet, the Westin in Virginia Beach’s Town Center now holds that distinction.)

All of those metrics are exciting — the millions invested, the jobs created, the wages those workers can expect — but the company’s decision to locate in Chesapeake also represents something else: validation that Hampton Roads is on the right track as it seeks to build its reputation as a world-class location for green-energy development.

It’s one thing to have natural benefits, such as the deep-water harbor, or other advantages, such as the port facilities, and quite another to leverage those attributes to build a next-generation, forward-looking economic sector.

Virginia Secretary of Commerce and Trade Caren Merrick told a Pilot reporter at the announcement that LS Greenlink considered locations in 15 states before deciding to build in Chesapeake. Officials celebrating the announcement noted the commonwealth’s highly educated and well-trained workforce, strengths that CNBC cited when it recently named Virginia the nation’s top state for business.

But it’s more than that. Virginia is investing more in business-ready site development to clear the path for companies to move from proposal to production as swiftly as possible. And the commonwealth is doing better to bring all interested parties together on projects such as this, with everyone pulling in the same direction.

For this facility, the governor’s announcement noted the efforts of the Virginia Economic Development Partnership, the Hampton Roads Alliance, the Virginia Maritime Association and the city of Chesapeake. It also outlined grant funding from the Commonwealth’s Opportunity Fund, benefits from The Port of Virginia Economic and Infrastructure Development Zone Grant Program and support through the Virginia Talent Accelerator Program.

Such cooperation has not always been the case, and Virginia has lost these sorts of opportunities to other states as a result. To see that change is to believe that the future is bright.

Few regions in the country stand to benefit more from the fight against climate change than does Hampton Roads. By growing its green-energy economic sector, our region can create a stronger employment base while reducing emissions and helping to protect vulnerable communities. May GS Greenlink’s arrival be the first of many.

The governor’s administration may be inconsistent in its interpretation of ACCII, but the vast benefits of the public policy remain the same. So let’s set the record straight on what ACCII is and isn’t.

First and foremost, the governor’s actions exhibit blatant disregard for not only the law, but also Virginians’ health, as Clean Cars Standards would enable Virginians to avoid nearly $30 billion in health care costs and 2,700 premature deaths due to tailpipe pollution. People who live in communities located near busy roadways are at greatest risk, as reported in the American Lung Association’s 2022 report, “Zeroing in on Healthy Air.” Families on the front lines of pollution need policy protections like the ACCII.

In 2020, when the General Assembly was considering legislation to adopt Clean Cars Standards, the Virginia Auto Dealers Association (VADA) sent a letter to key General Assembly members explicitly outlining what the commonwealth needed do in order to successfully meet the standards: “Virginia should be committing today no less than $720 million over the next five years to prepare and grow market demand for EVs … Virginia does not have any consumer vehicle purchase or infrastructure incentives in place to increase the adoption of EVs. Both of these are proven ways to grow customer interest in buying EVs.”

Yet no action was taken by the commonwealth, effectively hindering ACCII’s success and sending Virginians the message that maintaining the fossil fuel status quo trumps public health.

Despite VADA’s detailed plea for EV incentives and the General Assembly’s passage of the Virginia Electric Vehicle Rebate Program in 2021, the program remains unfunded. That’s a shame, because it was designed as one of the most equitable rebates in the country, and would have put an electric vehicle within reach of many families and individuals who otherwise could not afford one while providing the incentive that Virginia’s auto dealers need to successfully sell large numbers of EVs.

Let’s also address the dubious claim that ACCII reduces consumer choice. If the standards are repealed, residents will actually have restricted choice of vehicles, because automakers prioritize delivery of electric vehicles to states that have adopted ACCII. Those states make up a significant percentage of the automobile market, and manufacturers are producing vehicles that align with the standards right off the bat.

In fact, many automakers have their own electrification goals; e.g., GM plans to eliminate tailpipe emissions from new passenger vehicles by 2035. So Virginia reversing its decision to be a Clean Cars state won’t bring back the fossil fuel Silverado or Camaro. That decision has already been made by GM.

Advanced Clean Car Standards are the low-hanging fruit on the path to reducing harmful emissions. Virginians should not be stripped of the standards that they have chosen. Residents and businesses deserve full access to the reduced operating costs that come with owning EVs, especially low-income used-EV purchasers who are afforded significant reductions in vehicle operating costs. And auto dealers should be given the tools they need to be successful in the EV economy.

Gov. Youngkin, don’t let Virginia lag behind. Invest in EV charging infrastructure, fund the EV Rebate Program and honor Virginians’ choice of Advanced Clean Cars Standards.

As a retiree, environmentalist and transit rider, I do not own a vehicle. I use Hampton Roads Transit, walking and cycling for most of my errands. This is not easy where I live in the Greenbrier section of Chesapeake. My street has a walk score of 41, transit score of 24 and cycling score of 40, according to walkscore.com. HRT’s services have become more vital since my husband and I both suffered medical issues that keep us from driving under Department of Motor Vehicles policies.

Recently, I was thrilled to be able to travel home all the way from Metropark station in New Jersey without the use of a car. Before recent improvements to U.S. Route 13 and state Route 14 by Chesapeake and HRT, that would have been impossible. It is far too dangerous to walk from Robert Hall Boulevard over the Interstate 64 interchange on Battlefield Boulevard, especially after dark. But recently I took Amtrak Train 95, scheduled to arrive at 7:24 p.m. in Norfolk, and even at that late hour I could take The Tide to buses that carried me safely home. Between transfers I patronized a local business, too.

According to a national study, every long-term dollar spent on public transportation produces a five-fold positive economic impact. HRT is conducting a study called Connecting Chesapeake. Recommendations will address potential rapid transit service between Chesapeake and Norfolk. I hope Chesapeake continues to invest in improving local and regional public transportation.

Literature

This retired English teacher submits the Bible must be used in public education, not as a religious text but as a literary one. The Bible provides numerous idioms and allusions used by authors for centuries, many of which are used in our daily language: good Samaritan, going the extra mile and bearing one’s cross. How about Armageddon, “Call me Ishmael” or a battle between David and Goliath? Recently, President Joe Biden was urged to step down by the “Four Horsemen of the (Democratic) Apocalypse” — former President Barack Obama, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries. These are biblical allusions that only make sense when understood in their original contexts. Without a biblical background for these words and their settings, they lose their punch, and the communication between author and reader is weakened if not completely lost.

Without biblical background, how can a student read Geoffrey Chaucer, John Milton, George Herbert, John Donne or John Bunyan? What about modern writers such as Flannery O’Connor, William Faulkner or Walker Percy? Can you fully understand Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement without knowing the Bible generally and the Exodus story specifically? No, to be acquainted with the Bible — its language, stories, poetry and wisdom — is to become a more literate reader and a more knowledgeable cultural observer. The Bible is a religious text; that is true. However, it is also a great piece of literature that has informed our civilization for millennia and should be taught as such. Let’s not deprive our students of their literary heritage.

Name-calling

Disgraced former President Donald Trump’s shameful strategy of using nicknames to smear or insult his opponents shows lack of maturity and reflects more poorly on himself than those he tries to denigrate.

For example, he has called President Joe Biden “sleepy Joe,” Hillary Clinton “crooked Hillary,” Rep. Nancy Pelosi “crazy Nancy,” special counsel Jack Smith “deranged,” etc.

As the saying goes, turnabout is fair play. The offended parties subjected to this tasteless verbal branding, can readily volley back and address Trump by an appropriate, well-deserved and new forever handle: convicted felon.

It’s a legal question expected to be handled in court, primarily because of different interpretations of Chesapeake’s city charter — seemingly the only charter for a major Hampton Roads city that puts the city in this novel position.

Multiple council members are challenging mayors this November elections in surrounding cities, like Virginia Beach and Portsmouth. Yet Chesapeake finds itself in this situation as it’s the only Hampton Roads city with a provision in the city charter that requires council members to formally resign from their council seat during their mayoral election bid instead of after. Carey’s council term is set to end Dec. 31. Chesapeake’s charter provision calls for a council resignation by June 30, though it was established when Chesapeake held city elections in May.

The ongoing legal question has spurred division among council members, some of whom are practicing a boycott of certain city business they don’t believe Carey should be part of, like closed sessions, as a result.

At a July 23 meeting, some residents said Carey was being penalized for an oversight issue in the charter, and called for council to make the appropriate changes in lieu of legal action. But that’s challenging in a Dillon’s Rule state like Virginia, where the General Assembly determines the scope of local governments’ power. That means when a city needs to update its charter, state legislators are the ones who can make it happen.

“No two local government situations are alike, and they’re often quite obscure provisions that are at issue,” said Richard Schragger, a law professor at the University of Virginia.

He added that in Chesapeake’s case, it can be tricky because even if the dates should have been changed, the charter also clearly states June 30.

“So then the question becomes, if there’s ambiguities in the interpretation of that provision, who makes that decision? And generally we end up in courts when that’s the case,” Schragger said.

For most Hampton Roads cities, council members who declare candidacy in a mayor’s race must formally resign their council position following the election or upon the start of the newly elected mayor’s term, according to the respective city charters. That includes Norfolk, Hampton, Suffolk and Virginia Beach.

In Virginia Beach, Councilman Chris Taylor, representing District 8, has joined a crowded field to challenge the sitting mayor. To do so, Taylor had to file a formal resignation letter effective after the election since his council term spans until 2026, which will necessitate a special election. His resignation will take effect Dec. 31, regardless of whether he wins or loses the mayoral race.

Sabrina Wooten is another Virginia Beach council member challenging the mayor, but her term ends at the end of the year.

Portsmouth’s charter lacks any resign-to-run requirement. The current vice mayor, Lisa Lucas-Burke, is challenging sitting Mayor Shannon Glover. There is no apparent provision in Newport News’ charter that addresses resign-to-rule stipulations, but a process for filling vacancies is included.

General Assembly action in 2021 shifted Chesapeake’s elections from May to November, but the accompanying provision for resignation was not altered, according to an opinion issued in May by Republican Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares. His opinion concluded that Carey was required to step down by June 30.

In March, Carey declared a bid to challenge Mayor Rick West. On July 9, a majority of council members directed the city attorney’s office to file a writ of mandamus with the Circuit Court asking a judge to compel Carey to resign from his position as he seeks election as mayor.

While it’s still unclear when the city will formally file the petition in Circuit Court, Carey said he was officially served last week by the city with a notice of intent to file. City Attorney Catherine Lindley previously said a “reasonable time” must lapse before filing with Circuit Court, though she has declined to specify what that timeframe will be.

Carey has previously called the move political and unethical.

“Citizens realize how foolish this endeavor is for council to waste taxpayer dollars to attack a political opponent,” he said in a phone interview Monday.

Carey was first elected to City Council in May 2020. He assumed his role July 1 when Chesapeake still held local elections in May instead of November. In Miyares’ opinion, he stated that though resignation would have the effect of shortening Carey’s term, it’s “due to his voluntary decision to seek election to the office of mayor, as was the case prior to the 2021 amendments for council members seeking to become mayor in middle of their otherwise four-year term.”

Around a dozen residents spoke at a July 23 meeting, mostly expressing frustration with division among council and the city money and resources that will be dedicated to litigating the issue. Others said he should stay in his seat through the end of his current term.

Resident Nancy Pettigrew and George Reed of the New Chesapeake Men for Progress argued that the intent of the charter change law wasn’t to result in a monthslong vacancy when a council member runs for mayor.

“Forcing Councilman Carey off the council at this point in the year will hamper the work that the City Council does,” Pettigrew said. “And in fact, we are already seeing that happen.”

Reed cited a summary document about the 2021 law when it was passed, which states the terms of mayor, council and school board members should not be shortened as a result of shifting elections to November. It also states all those members elected at a May general election and whose terms end as of June 30 “shall continue in office until their successors have been elected at the November general election and have been qualified to serve.”

Another election-related bill passed that year amended that portion of state code and the clause Reed cited was removed.

“We ought to have a writ of mandamus to get our city attorney to configure our charter to meet the state law,” Reed said. “I say to you there must be a different agenda. You should explain that agenda to the public. Because it’s certainly not running good governance with transparency and accountability.”
