The Norfolk Department of Public Health tested the water off the Captain’s Quarters beach, which is in the eastern part of Willoughby Bay, Monday and found elevated levels of enterococci bacteria that exceeded the state’s water quality standards. Enterococci is an indicator of fecal contamination, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

Signs have been posted in the area of the contamination to alert the public, according to the Virginia Department of Public Health. The signs will be removed when the bacteria decreases to a safe level.

“While enterococci bacteria do not generally cause illness, scientific studies indicate that their presence is closely correlated to the presence of other disease-causing organisms,” the NDPH said in a news release. “People swimming or playing in waters with bacteria levels higher than the state standards have an increased risk of developing gastrointestinal illness.”

Norfolk health officials will be collecting samples of local waterways throughout the swimming season which ends in mid-September.

Traffic on Interstate 64 will be diverted onto the new segment of the Mallory Street Bridge in Hampton starting Friday as part of the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel Expansion Project.

The new traffic pattern for eastbound and westbound traffic on the Mallory Street Bridge will begin at 7 p.m. Friday. This change marks the end of the first phase of the reconstruction of the bridge to accommodate the ongoing widening of the HRBT.

Switching to this new segment will allow traffic to continue while crews demolish the rest of the old bridge and rebuild it, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation. VDOT has not provided a timeline for completion of the new segment.

Emergency vehicles’ access to the VA Medical Center and Hampton University will not be impacted by the construction, according to VDOT.

The restaurant’s official Facebook page posted photos of the aftermath which showed what appeared to be the front entrance being punched in by a silver sedan, with the glass door and large windows pushed all the way to the benches of the waiting area inside.

The post stated that the restaurant, located in the 3400 block of West Mercury Boulevard, will be closed until the repairs are completed.

“We look forward to seeing each and every one of your smiling faces in the very near future,” the post read.

It’s unclear if anyone was injured and whether there was anyone in the restaurant at the time.

Clayton Turner, who took over as director of the Langley Research Center in September 2019, has been named the acting associate administrator for NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate, or STMD.

Turner will replace Dr. Kurt Vogel, who is retiring from NASA after 30 years in government and who headed the STMD since January. Turner’s role at Langley will be filled by Dawn Shaible, who was previously deputy director of the NASA Glenn Research Center.

While these changes go into effect immediately, Turner’s and Shaible’s new assignments are temporary, according to a release. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson announced the position changes Tuesday, and thanked Vogel for his service.

“Our Space Technology Mission Directorate and Langley Research Center are in good hands with Clayton and Dawn, and I look forward to continuing to work with them as we lead NASA into the future,” Nelson said.

STMD “develops technologies through a community of entrepreneurs, researchers, and innovators to solve the nation’s toughest challenges and enable future NASA and commercial missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond,” according to NASA’s website.

Turner has worked at NASA for more than 30 years. His roles at Langley include engineering director, associate director and deputy director. He’s worked on a wide range of projects including the Space Shuttle program’s Return to Flight work, the flight test of the Ares 1-X rocket, the flight test of the Orion Launch Abort System and the entry, descent, and landing segment of the Mars Science Laboratory.

After 37 years with NASA, Schaible will be leading the 3,000 scientists, researchers and engineers at Langley. She was the director of engineering at Langley prior to taking over as deputy director of the Glenn Research Center in February 2023 and has been a leader in several programs at NASA including the Space Shuttle and International Space Station programs.

The Virginia Beach Police Department received a complaint June 14 about the actions of Sean A. Fearon, who has been with the department since 2022. Fearon was “acting in his official capacity as a sworn police officer” at the time of the alleged assault, according to a news release.

He is charged with object sexual penetration, abduction and destruction of evidence. No further details about his actions have been made public as of Monday evening.

Fearon’s police powers have been suspended and has been placed on administrative leave, according to the department.

After receiving the complaint, the Detective Bureau launched an investigation and submitted its findings to the Chesapeake Office of the Commonwealth’s Attorney, which then convened the grand jury.

Police Chief Paul Neudigate said Fearon’s actions are “not reflective of the 800 sworn officers who protect and serve the City of Virginia Beach with honor and distinction every day.

“The Virginia Beach Police Department is equally as appalled as our community that one of our own faces allegations of criminal conduct arising from an on-duty interaction with a member of our public,” Neudigate said in a news release. “Such conduct is contrary to the values and standards we uphold as a department and a profession, and if true, there must be accountability.”
