STAUNTON, Va. (WHSV) - Carter Myers Automotive in Staunton has installed a new solar energy system at their dealership.
CEO Liza Borches says they began studying the idea of solar dealerships in 2016, and that dealerships are set up with natural light and good roof structure to support energy from the sun.
“Everybody knows that transportation is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gasses, and so we’re studying it from the transportation side but also just from the use of energy in all of our dealerships,” said Borches. “So as we started studying more along those lines, solar became a very obvious way that we could offset the energy usage in our dealerships.”

AUGUSTA COUNTY, Va. (WHSV) — An Augusta County sheriff’s deputy was placed on administrative leave after accidentally discharging his gun while responding to a call in February.
No one was injured, but the sheriff’s office says they take these situations very seriously.
The sheriff’s office reviews every incident where any type of force is used by deputies to make sure they are in compliance with their policies. If they are not in compliance, the sheriff’s office takes disciplinary actions, conducts investigations or puts individuals through more training.

HARRISONBURG, Va. (WHSV) — Virginia Governor Ralph Northam signed an executive order banning single-use plastics at state agencies to help decrease pollution. One advocacy worker says this action may cause more harm than good.
“Alternatives to single-use plastics aren’t always environmentally advantageous. They’re not always better for the environment, in comparison to single-use plastic items,” said North American Sales Manager for Consumer Choice Center David Clement.

RICHMOND, Va. (WHSV) — On Friday, April 23, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam declared the month of April to be Highway Safety Month in the commonwealth, and he’s urging all Virginians to help prevent injuries and fatalities on the road.
One purpose of this Highway Safety Month is to emphasize the importance of wearing a seat belt, which Northam says can help in reducing the number of unrestrained crashes and saving lives.
The governor says in 2020, even with a decline in traffic volume due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 343 people who were not wearing seat belts were killed in crashes on Virginia roadway. This is a 13% increase compared to 2019.

AUGUSTA COUNTY, Va. (WHSV) - Gyms are asking for federal relief while working to bounce back after taking a hard hit from the pandemic.
“Back in 2020, we were one of the first to close. We were certainly one of the last to reopen. Revenues here fell dramatically,” Mark Embrey, owner of Fast Fitness said.
