Good morning, Charlottesville.

Charlottesville Media Group announced that longtime journalist Mike Barber—who has covered local stories for years—is named as CvilleRightNow.com's new editor-in-chief and will lead a newsroom focused on Charlottesville news.

The group said his local experience is expected to boost the platform's rapid growth.

The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank is joining the USDA’s Summer Food Service Program to offer free, healthy meals to 550 children as the school year ends later this month — aiming to help those at risk of food insecurity.

The program will serve families at about two dozen pickup locations, with food provided free during designated service times.

The UVA community mourns biology professor Masashi Kawasaki, who died on May 20 in a five-vehicle crash on Route 29 in Madison County—friends and colleagues remembered his kindness during a Gilmer Hall ceremony—and the department plans to name its teaching award in his honor.

On May 29, the Albemarle County Fire Rescue Squad’s EMT program graduated its largest class with 10 students earning perfect scores on their final exam—boosting the team’s ability to serve the community.

Charlottesville's top prosecutor, Joe Platania, spoke on Morning News about vandalism and gun violence and said that damaging property or defacing traffic signs can be dangerous – he praised police work on Hardy Drive and noted that programs like The Bridge help people turn their lives around. His remarks underline a dual focus on stopping crime and giving support to those seeking a fresh start.

A 14-year-old from Albemarle died by suicide after receiving blackmail messages on Snapchat, a friend said, and his death has raised serious concerns about the gaps in mental health support for youth.

More than 150 people attended his memorial on Feb. 22nd and school counselors noted that frequent suicide screenings show the system is stretched—local experts are calling for better access to care.
