RICHMOND, Va., Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The following is a letter to U.S. newsrooms from Dominion Energy to provide information about how the company is prepared to respond to power outages caused by Hurricane Isaias.

RICHMOND, Va., Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The following is a letter to U.S. newsrooms from Dominion Energy to provide information about how the company is prepared to respond to power outages caused by Hurricane Isaias.

Newsrooms,

Dominion Energy is ready to respond should Hurricane Isaias cause power outages. We appreciate your help sharing these safety tips with your audiences.

To help you in your coverage, here’s a link to download video of our crews prepping for storms: https://login.filesanywhere.com/fs/v.aspx?v=8c6a6a8c5f6574bdaa9c

In addition, journalists can call our 24/7 media line at 804-771-6115 for information or interviews.

  • The safety of our customers is always our top priority, especially when storms are in the forecast. We are tracking Hurricane Isaias and encourage Dominion Energy customers in Virginia and the Carolinas to prepare for the possibility of power outages. We will work around the clock to restore service while keeping our colleagues and our customers safe and while practicing proper social distancing and good hygiene.
  • We are staffed up and crews are ready to respond as safely and quickly as possible to any power outages that occur. We’re preparing for the possibility of a multi-day power restoration effort, and we have staged crews and equipment across our Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina service areas.
  • The fastest way to report or track an outage is using our mobile app or online at DominionEnergy.com. We encourage Virginia and North Carolina customers to download the Dominion Energy Outage Center app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store or call us at 1-866-DOM-HELP (1-866-366-4357) to report an outage. South Carolina customers should download the Dominion Energy-SC app or call 888-333-4465. If you lose power, please let us know to ensure the fastest response.
  • Here’s how you can be ready for any storm:
    • Create an emergency kit with flashlights, batteries, cleaning supplies and face coverings.
    • Prepare a first-aid kit with bandages, anti-bacterial wipes, over-the-counter medications, and prescription medications.
    • Remember to carry your healthcare information with you and to prepare your medical devices, especially if you are disabled or elderly.

    • Prepare a supply of water and non-perishable food.
    • Charge your phone and other electronic devices fully before the storm arrives.
    • Make sure your contact information is updated in our system so that we have a way to get in touch with you.
  • Here’s how you can stay safe:
    • Beware of downed power lines. Assume they are energized and dangerous. Very high winds and rain can cause trees and branches to fall, which may bring down power lines. Stay at least 30 feet away and make sure your family, pets, and neighbors also avoid the downed wire. Call Dominion Energy right away to speak with an agent to report the downed wire. Virginia and North Carolina customers should call 1-866-DOM-HELP (1-866-366-4357) and South Carolina customers should call 888-333-4465.
    • Properly connect your generator. If you have a generator, be sure it is fueled, tested, and properly connected before the severe weather arrives. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and always operate outdoors with good ventilation. Improper use of a generator could be life-threatening for customers and for line crews working to restore power.

«Ensuring the community of Chattanooga can safely enjoy this new Topgolf experience is deeply important to us,» said Topgolf Chief Executive Officer Dolf Berle. «When we open Topgolf Chattanooga, our Guests can be confident in the health and safety protocols we have put in place so they can focus on what’s most important: simply having a great time.»

Pope Francis Recognizes Knights of Columbus for Building «Fraternal, Just and Equitable World» as Knights Begin 138th Annual Convention

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Pope Francis recognized the Knights of Columbus for the fraternal order’s efforts to build a «fraternal, just and equitable world,» on the eve of the Knights’ 138th annual convention.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Pope Francis recognized the Knights of Columbus for the fraternal order’s efforts to build a «fraternal, just and equitable world,» on the eve of the Knights’ 138th annual convention.

For the first time in its 138-year history, the Knights of Columbus will not meet in person for its annual supreme convention. Instead, this important meeting will be held virtually Aug. 4-6, with members tuning in across the world to key convention events broadcast from New Haven, Connecticut.

This virtual convention, necessitated by the ongoing COVID-19 health crisis, is not the only historic aspect of this year’s event.  The 2020 convention will also celebrate the upcoming beatification of the Knights’ founder, Venerable Father Michael McGivney.

In recognition of the unique and important time in which the convention is being held, Pope Francis extended his well-wishes to the Knights of Columbus through a letter from Vatican Secretariat of State Archbishop Pietro Parolin, dated July 14, 2020. 

The message acknowledged the meeting’s theme, «Knights of Fraternity,» and the Order’s work during the pandemic, saying, «The theme of the Convention – Knights of Columbus: Knights of Fraternity – is a timely reminder of the vision that guided the foundation of your Order. … In these days, your Order has provided charitable support on the local, national and international level to individuals and communities suffering because of the pandemic or otherwise often forgotten or marginalized.»

The letter added that «His Holiness is grateful for these and for the many other countless ways in which the Knights of Columbus continue to bear prophetic witness to God’s dream for a more fraternal, just and equitable world in which all are recognized as neighbors and no one is left behind.»

Additionally, the papal message included the Holy Father’s appreciation for the Knights’ work on behalf of persecuted Christians, the unborn and all those are marginalized because of the pandemic or other circumstances, as well as his confidence that the beatification of Father McGivney «will be a stimulus for Knights to deepen their commitment to live as missionary disciples in charity, unity and fraternity.» 

The letter continued, saying that Pope Francis «is confident that Father McGivney’s heroic virtues and example of faith will inspire you to seek each day in prayer the wisdom and strength to practice ‘a fraternal love capable of seeing the sacred grandeur of our neighbor, of finding God in every human being’ (Evangelii Gaudium, 92). As a parish priest, your Founder knew well and wished to impress on his flock the urgency of the Gospel mandate, ‘Whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me’ (Mt 25:40).»

2020 Knights of Columbus Supreme Convention Public Events

The full papal message will be read aloud during the convention’s opening Mass on Tuesday, Aug. 4, at 6:30 p.m. (EDT), which will be celebrated by Archbishop Leonard P. Blair of the Archdiocese of Hartford at St. Mary’s Church in New Haven. St. Mary’s is where Father McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus in 1882 and where his remains are interred.

Following the Mass at 8 p.m. (EDT), Supreme Knight Carl Anderson will deliver his annual report, highlighting the achievements from the past fraternal year and new initiatives for the Order.

On Aug. 5 at 2 p.m. (EDT), an annual memorial Mass will be offered for all deceased Knights of Columbus and their families. During Mass, Supreme Secretary Michael O’Connor will read the Order’s necrology, sharing the names of Knights of Columbus leaders who died since the last convention. This includes Past Supreme Knight Virgil Dechant, who passed away on Feb. 15, 2020, and was the Order’s longest-serving supreme knight, holding office from 1977 to 2000.

Finally, at 3:30 p.m. on Aug. 5, an awards session that recognizes the outstanding service of our Knights and their families to their parishes and communities will be held.

All of these events will be shown on kofc.org/convention. In addition, broadcast coverage of some events will be provided by EWTN, Canada’s Salt + Light Television and the CatholicTV Network.

About the Knights of Columbus

The Knights of Columbus is one of the world’s leading fraternal and service organizations with
2 million members in more than 16,000 parish-based councils.  During the past year, Knights around the world donated more than 77 million service hours and $187 million for worthy causes in their communities. The organization also provides financial services to groups and individuals, resulting in more than $112 billion of life insurance in force, and through its money management firm, Knights of Columbus Asset Advisors, it invests in accord with Catholic social teachings. From helping children in need, to providing wheelchairs for the disabled, to helping stock food banks, to offering top-rated and affordable insurance products to its members, the Knights of Columbus has supported families and communities for more than 138 years.

Pritzker Hageman Salmonella Lawyers Signing up Clients for Lawsuit in Red Onion Outbreak

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The Salmonella lawyers at national food poisoning law firm Pritzker Hageman, P.A. are investigating the

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The Salmonella lawyers at national food poisoning law firm Pritzker Hageman, P.A. are investigating the red onion Salmonella outbreak linked to Thomson International, Inc. Our food poisoning lawyers are signing up clients to file a Salmonella lawsuit related to this outbreak.

«Food producers need to clean up their act. Outbreaks like this happen when produce distributors fail to follow basic food safety precautions that protect consumers from dangerous pathogens like Salmonella,» says food poisoning lawyer Eric Hageman.

Red Onion Salmonella Outbreak
On July 10th, the CDC and FDA announced a mystery outbreak of Salmonella Newport infections. Around the same time, a Salmonella outbreak with a similar genetic footprint was announced in Canada. After Canadian health officials linked their outbreak to red onions imported from the U.S., the FDA identified red onions produced by Thomson International, a California-based produce supplier, as the source of the outbreak in the U.S. The red onion Salmonella outbreak has rapidly grown to include more than 300 illnesses, causing Thomson International to recall red, white, yellow, and sweet onions shipped to wholesalers, retail stores, and restaurants in all 50 states, D.C., and Canada from May 1st to the present.  

Sue for Salmonella Food Poisoning
Our team of food poisoning lawyers have been successfully representing clients in Salmonella lawsuits for the past 40 years. We are currently signing up clients for a Salmonella lawsuit in relation to the red onion outbreak. If you were sickened by Salmonella food poisoning after eating onions, you may be entitled to compensation. In order to pursue your claim, our legal team needs to be able to prove that:

  1. You have a confirmed Salmonella diagnosis.
  2. There is proof that you ate food from the restaurant, grocery store, or food company implicated in your case.
  3. Your illness caused you quantifiable harm.

Pritzker Hageman, P.A. is a national food safety law firm that represents people sickened by contaminated food. Pritzker Hageman’s food poisoning lawyers, including attorneys Fred Pritzker, Eric Hageman, Raymond Konz, and David Coyle, have won hundreds of millions of dollars for clients throughout the United States.
