Driver's EducationIt's the holiday season! That means roads, side streets, interstates, and driveways across the country are packed with vehicles on the way to or from seasonal celebrations. Inspired by the onslaught of holiday traffic, 16:1 is taking a look at driver education programs across the country. In the United States, there is no national standard for driver's education, though guidelines are distributed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and interpreted by each state. The patchwork, state-by-state approach to driver's education in the U.S. evolved from a more holistic approach; driver's education used to be offered in 95% of public schools. With the privatization of driver training programs came new challenges. How are drivers in the U.S. staying safe?

Writing is one of the loneliest activities. For some of us, it can be hard to keep yourself accountable, especially right now with not much of a regular schedule and lots of working from home. On this episode we talk about our paper writing process, how we go from an idea to a submission, and the wonders of co-writing. We are divided on the use of the phrase “dot-jot notes”, which google says is NOT a Canadian only thing.

Note: This episode contains some profanity and an honest discussion about racism, including details about racially motivated incidents, that may not be suitable for a younger audience.My guest this week moved to the Valley less than a year ago, but she’s already made a significant impact. In the last few weeks since George Floyd’s tragic death reinvigorated the Black Lives Matter movement to end systemic racism, as well as the call for white folks to become allies and confront white privilege and fragility, I’ve heard her name in several conversations I’ve had among friends about actions we as a small community can take to promote justice and equality. Vashti Wilson may not have sought out this new role she’s been thrust into, but many have experienced her inspiring leadership. Her speech captivated attendees at the Solvang vigil for George Floyd. She organized a soul affirming gathering to celebrate Juneteenth in Solvang Park, and is putting together a series of raw and real conversations about race. And she’s just getting started. Air Force combat veteran, cryptologic linguist, MBA holder, entrepreneur, community activist, and mother to Madison, Vashti Wilson has courageously stepped into a leadership role to promote equality and justice in our community.Vashti’s daughter Madison has also become a local activist in her own right, partnering with the Book Loft to create Madi’s Treasure Box, raising over $3,000 (at last check) to donate multicultural books and multicultural skin tone crayons to local elementary schools.In our conversation we discuss Vashti’s eclectic resume, her experiences confronting racism, including racially motivated arrests both she and her bother experienced at the hands of police, her move to the Valley, and upcoming efforts to bring awareness, justice, and equality to our community.This episode is longer than previous episodes. The second half includes a no holds barred discussion about Vashti's experience with racism and her ideas about how we, as community members, can make small differences that matter. I hope you'll stick with it. Also mentioned in this episode: Dino Explorerz, Succulent Cafe, Bethania Lutheran, St. Mark’s in the Valley, Happyes Boxes, Solvang School, Laura McVicar, Randall Day, Chris Brown, The Book Loft, Pura Luna Apothecary, SYV Racial Justice Facebook group, Madi’s Treasure box GoFundMe.

How can customers experience a treasure hunt when they can leave their house to go hunting? That's the quandary that face The Book Loft, the historic German Village book shop known for its 32 rooms filled with potential finds for voracious readers.

The battle with Amazon is discussed — including the small ways in which that fight is shifting — and there are tips for supporting independent booksellers beyond just ordering online.

Have you ever felt like you were the weird one who just didn’t fit in with the crowd? If so CJ has an important message for you: weird wins. CJ is a writer and author, creator, filmmaker, mover and shaker, and all around disrupter — and he’s doing all this with one goal in mind — and that’s to help misfits like you and me embrace our weirdness. Because in a sea of same, those of us who think a bit differently are needed more than ever before. CJ recounts the long journey he’s been on, why he’s written a book to help others get weird, and where all this weirdness is leading. For CJ, it’s back to the classroom where the idea of fitting in has misguided generations of people.
