Charlottesville News Headlines syndicates headlines only from traditional media outlets. Some people have suggested that it’s only logical to include Charlottesville Podcasting Network and Charlottesville Tomorrow, since both provide firsthand, factual information about current events in Charlottesville. What do you think? #
Charlottesville Democrats will be holding their convention on Saturday to choose three nominees for City Council among candidates David Brown, Holly Edwards, Satyendra Huja, Jennifer McKeever, and Linda Seaman, with Mayor Brown seeking reelection. The event will be held at the Charlottesville Performing Arts Center beginning at 1pm, but anybody who wishes to vote must arrive prior to 1pm in order to get signed in.
I live in the county, so what I think doesn’t particularly matter, but my favorite candidates for the two open seats are Holly Edwards and Jennifer McKeever. They’re smart, engaged, and experienced, and are very much their own women. (Holly has the added bonus of being a total badass.) I know and like all of the candidates, and, for the first time in my memory, I can say that I’d be very happy to see any of the candidates serve on Council. Both Linda Seaman and Satyendra Huja have enormously valuable experience and long histories of service to the city, and I quite like them both personally.
Now you’re up — who do you support, and why?
Remember the kerfuffle over sending pagan fliers home with kids at Hollymead Elementary? Fundamentalist Christians figured that only their religion was allowed in schools. Well, here we go again — an atheist summer camp wants to promote itself in schools, but some teachers are refusing to hand out the flier because it promotes atheism, Lonnie explains over at his blog. #
The kittening season is underway, and the SPCA needs foster parents. If you’re willing to take care of a littler of kittens until they can find a forever home, e-mail Jennifer and let her know. For more about the local kitten fostering process, see ScamperDude. #
