By Warren Fiske and Julian Walker RICHMOND Gov. Timothy M. Kaine today will propose an $860 million package of tax increases to pay for improvements to transportation. Kaine outlined his proposal Sunday night in two conference calls with fellow Democrats in the General Assembly. Two lawmakers, who asked not to be identified, said the governor will call for the following actions:

NORFOLK Less than a hundred yards from Lynn Noah's front porch, the Elizabeth River shone in the mid afternoon sun.

Jagged rocks have popped out of ragged holes on some of South Hampton Roads' busiest interstates - pieces big enough that Lt. David Boisselle said he steers around them on his daily commute into Norfolk. "Some of these chunks are scary. They're like boulders or something," said Boisselle, who travels along Interstate 64 on his way to the Joint Forces Command.

NORFOLK Someone robbed the National Redemption company in the Lake Wright conference center on Sunday, Norfolk police said. The robbery happened about 1:30 p.m. No injuries were reported. Investigators are trying to review surveillance video, said Sgt. Jim Robertson of the Norfolk police. Police did not say what was taken or provide further details.

NORFOLK Police have identified the man shot early Sunday morning on Lincoln Street as James Calvin Malone, 19, of Norfolk. He was in stable condition Sunday evening at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, said Sgt. Jim Robertson of the Norfolk police.

Around 6:40 a.m., police responded to 811 Lincoln for a report of a gunshot victim, Robertson said. Malone suffered multiple gunshot wounds.

HAMPTON

Hampton police on Sunday arrested a woman in connection with the shooting death of a man in early May.

Elaine Clarke, 38, of Hampton was charged with one count of murder and one count of use of a firearm during the commission of a felony, police said.

Seven people were injured today — two critically — when a flash fire started at an indoor shooting range in Virginia Beach, the fire department said.

The fire started about 1:30 p.m. at A&P Arms' Lynnhaven Shooting Range, 2664 Lishelle Place, said Battalion Chief Leon Dextradeur of the Virginia Beach Fire Department.

NORFOLK There's gold - and silver - in them thar homes. More than 2,000 pounds of it has been mined so far by an outfit that opened shop four months ago to tap the treasures of Hampton Roads. The trove has surfaced in many forms - jewelry, coins, plates, bars, sterling flatware, tea sets, candlesticks, gifts from ex-husbands, grandpa's watch, even his teeth.

PORTSMOUTH It used to be if you lived in one of the city's five historic districts and wanted to paint your house, it might take at least a month to get approval. Now, it could be as easy as a trip to Portsmouth's planning office. On Jan. 1, Portsmouth released a detailed set of new guidelines for the city's five historic districts: Cradock, Olde Towne, Park View, Port Norfolk and Truxtun.

NORFOLK St. Louis has an arch. Seattle has a fish market. Savannah has a series of civic squares. Downtowners say one thing that's missing in the city's urban revitalization is an iconic public gathering spot that gives Norfolk an unmistakable identity and sense of place. Planners want to create that place around a light-rail station that will be built on the site of Kirn Memorial Library.
