In Episode 237, in conversation with Dr. Gillian Lockitch, Scott Fulton reframes "successful aging" as more years, more moments, more money. He unpacks his MEDAC model—Mind, Environment, Diet, Activity, Community—and shows how small, practical tweaks compound: design homes for longevity, manage toxin exposure sensibly, eat for quality/variety/fiber, move all day (not just "exercise"), train balance, and build supportive community. They also explore simple ways to measure what matters and why stepping outside your comfort zone is a powerful aging tool. Scott Fulton is a longevity educator and positive-aging innovator whose work sits at the intersection of health and housing. He teaches adult learners about healthspan and aging (Northwestern, UVA, University of Delaware), created the MEDAC system (Mind, Environment, Diet, Activity, Community), is a member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and the True Health Initiative Council, and served as President of the National Aging in Place Council. He and his wife live in Charlottesville, VA, in a demonstration home designed for optimal aging.   Timeline: 00:00 – 03:20 | Why "Wealthspan" now Gillian's introduction: aging is inevitable, poor health isn't. Scott's thesis: extend health, life, and financial security—so you can collect more meaningful moments.  03:21 – 09:58 | Designing a home that ages with you One-step entries, wider doors, "free-flow" layouts, smart use of terrain. Beauty + function beats "clinical" design and prevents future injuries/barriers.  09:59 – 18:13 | From big systems to positive aging, Scott's career pivot: apply systems thinking to aging. Against siloed care; for measurable, holistic balance (homeostasis) and innovation that actually changes outcomes.  18:14 – 26:59 | MEDAC: Mind & Environment Stay curious; protect cognition. Shape two environments: your home and your exposures. You can't avoid toxins entirely—reduce risk and diversify behaviors.  27:00 – 31:53 | MEDAC: Diet & Activity Start with quality, add variety, and count fiber. Activity ≠ just workouts: build cardio, strength, balance, and move through the day to fight sedentariness.  31:54 – 40:52 | MEDAC: Community + Resilience & the "one bold thing" rule Social connection protects brain and practical living. Gillian and Scott on mindset, brain training, and choosing something outside your comfort zone to spark growth.  Learn about Scott Fulton and his book. https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottfultonentrepreneur/ https://www.youtube.com/@whealthspan Download your Gift: Guide to Nature's Colourful Antioxidants.  Book a one-on-one call with Dr. Gillian Lockitch    Join the Growing Older Living Younger Community 

A sermon for the First Sunday in Advent preached by Fr. Kyle Williams on November 30, 2025 at All Saints Anglican Church in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Qué es realmente el fascismo, por qué se usa mal el término y cómo esa confusión está distorsionando el debate público. Lejos de simplismos —“todo lo que no me gusta es fascismo”— la charla busca separar el ruido de los hechos, poniendo en el centro la violencia política comprobable y las dinámicas que permiten que movimientos autoritarios se normalicen. Arrancamos con una puesta en contexto histórica y cronológica —casos reales que marcan la gravedad del fenómeno (Oak Creek 2012, Charleston 2015, Charlottesville 2017, Pittsburgh 2018, El Paso 2019, Kenosha 2020, Capitolio 2021, Buffalo 2022, atentados y ataques recientes)— para después analizar cómo han cambiado las respuestas institucionales y mediáticas según el momento político. Geraldine y David discuten ejemplos concretos de impunidad, campañas de defensa y reinterpretaciones públicas que convierten atentados y actos supremacistas en “debates” cuando deberían ser condenas y controles. https://www.edenex.es

This time the podcast is the same file as the radio show that airs on WTJU, complete with public service announcements and continuity befitting a program that goes out over broadcast signal at a specific time. For the sake of the holiday, I have made this the November 29, 2025 edition. This is the 333rd day of the year, a fact that may or may not have any significance but sounds like a good thing to say. I'm Sean Tubbs, the publisher of Town Crier Productions and the writer behind Information Charlottesville at infocville.com. Most Saturday mornings I present you with several recent stories in audio form, and this week is not one of the exceptions. Though, this edition begins a process of looking back at this year.In this edition:* Legislators have filed the first bills for General Assembly 2026 (learn more)* A new era for public transportation could be underway with the formation of the Charlottesville Albemarle Regional Transit Authority (learn more)* The Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority finds out how much a pump station failure cost to repair (learn more)* Charlottesville rooting out invasive species on city parkland (learn more)Archive stories:* This being Thanksgiving week, there aren't as many fresh stories, so this is a good time to begin the process of looking back. One of the first important stories of 2026 will be when assessments begin to come out. Here's how that sounded in January 2025 when they went up 5.1 percent.* Meanwhile, property assessments in Charlottesville went up 7.74 percent for 2025. In January, Albemarle Supervisors filled a key vacancy. Here's that story.* Charlottesville had a surplus for FY2024 in excess of $22.4 million and some of that funding would eventually go to pay for things such as an office building intended to be converted to a low-barrier shelter for the homeless. Let's go back to January to hear more about that surplus.* There are a lot of quirks to the area and one of them is the 45 acres or so of land in Albemarle County in the Woolen Mills that can only be accessed via the City of Charlottesville. One more story from January.Meta-information for November 29, 2025I did not work on Thanksgiving and I so wanted that streak to continue into the following day. I had a better time than I thought I would, and made a choice to stay in one place rather than be itinerant. I drove back at sunrise and traveled on U.S. 250 approaching Charlottesville from the west. The roads were empty as the sunlight slowly drifted over the horizon. I thought about the many times I've driven that road and how many stories I have written about places that have been built over the last twenty years. When I first moved to this community, I worked on Ednam Drive near the Boar's Head. I would travel there from northern Albemarle by the airport. The house I lived in was torn down to make way for the North Pointe development. Nothing up there looks the same anymore. I wrote stories about the roundabout at U.S. 250 and Route 151. I was part of a collaboration with the Daily Progress where four of us were assigned a stretch of the roadway as it goes from Nelson to Zion Crossroads. All of these forgotten stories flashed through my mind including different places I've been to as a catering server or a friend. There was no traffic but me so I was able to drive slow and go at my own pace. The fight over the Restore-n-Station. The storage unit at the corner with Old Trail. The people who died at the Harris Teeter. The landscaper who had to fight the county to use property just outside the growth area as a business. The construction of another roundabout now underway. That place where my friends used to live off of Gillums Ridge Road. That woman's house in Ivy who hired me to do transcription for a documentary she was making. The fact that I've never been to Duner's and probably never will. The recovery hospital UVA built that I wrote about at a time when I had no idea what happened in places like that. Now I am older and have spent a lot of time with my parents in similar spots. And then an explosion of thoughts as I drove past the Boar's Head where I spent a year and a half in my first real production job. My entire life changed working at that spot. It was too dark to see the renovations at Birdwood. I thought about stopping at the Bellair Market but it may not have been open. I remembered being a volunteer for the Charlottesville Track Club picking up supplies left in Ednam Forest for an organized marathon training.But once I got east of the bypass, suddenly so much change. I remembered the medical building torn down to build another medical building. New buildings on one side of the road constructed close to traffic with a new sidewalk. And then the cinderblock stairwell towers that will make up the Blume, followed quickly by a great expansion of the University of Virginia. The Karsh Institute of Democracy is coming along and the new student housing buildings are coming out of the ground. The Virginia Guesthouse will open up for the first guests next year and UVA awaits funding for the arts center approved earlier this year. Thanksgiving was two days ago, but I want to thank you all again for reading this newsletter and especially thank those who are paying me to keep writing stories. I'm grateful to be able to do this work. I could reminisce all day but I have new stories to write. For this edition, I did begin the process of looking back at 2025. In December I will produce a series of editions from stories from this year. I do this as a way of seeing what loose ends I have to tie up and what I have to look forward to in the next year.

A sermon preached by Fr. Mark Perkins for the Sunday Next Before Advent on November 23, 2025 at All Saints Anglican Church in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Imagine if the USA had a taxpayer-funded media conglomerate that dominated all news reporting and televised entertainment in the USA, that was under Trump's control in the background, and that Americans were FORCED to fund with their tax dollars, would you consider that to be anything other than Cold War Pravda style tyranny?The BBC did what the media does. It lied about the news. In their case, they pulled a “Charlottesville”, reframing President Trump's actual words. Remember in the Charlottesville case multiple media outlets tried to make Trump out to be a supporter of White Nationalists. They played over and over only the partial statement by Trump, versus what he really said. This clip was played incessantly by media and used by Leftist pundits and politicians to paint Trump as a racist.

Written editions of Charlottesville Community Engagement often begin with a historical anecdote to mark the day and tie stories to a greater sense of the world. But what about this newsletter's history?* The first November 22 edition came out in 2021 as you can see and hear here.* The November 22 version from 2023 was the only one made that week. Go look!* Last year? November 22 rounded out a full week of newsletters!This edition is a podcast version where 92.3 percent of the material has already gone out in print form but now the stories can be heard as if you were listening to public radio.What's in this edition?* Albemarle's Economic Development Authority gets an update on AstraZeneca's investment at Rivanna Futures (learn more)* Officials celebrate one transportation project while another gets underway* Jaunt CEO Mike Murphy briefs Charlottesville City Council (learn more)* With one quarter down, Charlottesville currently projected for $921K surplus for FY2026 (learn more)* Albemarle Supervisors take a look at the five-year financial plan as budget planning accelerates for fiscal year 2027 (learn more)Sponsorship demonstration: Westwind FlowersFall is in full bloom at Westwind Flowers!

Visit their website to learn more!Thoughts at the end of #960-AThis is the first podcast edition in two weeks. The reason there was none last week? Last Saturday I published a text edition instead based on differing accounts of the forced resignation of University of Virginia President Jim Ryan.For a while I was posting these on Mondays, but the gravity of my workflow means they come out best on Saturday mornings. I've been an audio producer for most of my journalism career dating back to 1995 and an internship at WVTF Public Radio. Recording audio is how I've always conducted interviews, though I've not done that for a while.I would like to do so, though. Since beginning this newsletter in the summer of 2020, I've mostly relied on harvesting government meetings and information releases. For me that is efficient approach because it can be much more time consuming to process those interviews and turn them into finished pieces. The nature of my business plan is to be as prolific as possible.I'm a journalist first. Being a business person ranks lower, though I've added a lot of over the past five and a half years. I'm excited to look ahead to 2026 and trying out some new things as I can. Maybe I'll finally finish that media kit! Let me know if you want to see a preview. For now it is time to finish this up and move on with the day. Below is an image from one of the stories this week. This is a public episode.

As the governor-elect dives into her transition to office, Jeff Schapiro surveys the week in Virginia politics....

Donald Trump ist vor gut einem Jahr erneut zum US-Präsidenten gewählt worden und ist zurück im Weissen Haus. Seither baut er Amerika um. Seine Anhängerinnen und Anhänger glauben ans «Goldene Zeitalter», das Trump bei seinem zweiten Amtsantritt ausgerufen hat. Andere Stimmen fürchten um die internationale Ordnung, die Ukraine oder die Demokratie.Wichtiger Teil von Trumps Aussenpolitik sind die Zölle. Davon betroffen ist auch die Schweiz. Unterdessen ist Bewegung in die Sache gekommen: Nicht mehr 39 Prozent, sondern nur noch 15 Prozent Zoll erheben die USA neu auf Waren aus der Schweiz. Dafür soll die Schweiz 200 Milliarden Dollar in den investieren.Hat sich die Schweiz richtig verhalten im Umgang mit dem US-Präsidenten? Ist die Demokratie in den USA tatsächlich gefährdet, weil Donald Trump seit seinem Amtsantritt durchregieren kann, ohne auf Widerstand zu stossen? Und prägt Trump eine Epoche, oder ist er umgekehrt eher ein Phänomen unserer Zeit, in der viele Gewissheiten verloren gegangen sind?Darüber hat sich Christof Münger, Leiter des Ressorts International, mit der renommierten Amerika-Expertin Claudia Brühwiler von der Universität St. Gallen unterhalten. Und zwar für einmal nicht im Podcast-Studio von Tamedia, sondern im ausverkauften Kraftwerk in Zürich. Ebenfalls auf der Bühne war Fabian Fellmann, der frühere USA-Korrespondent des Tages-Anzeigers.

In today's episode, I'm joined by Colin Allen, executive director of the American Property Owners Alliance, for a conversation that moves effortlessly from campaign classrooms in Charlottesville to the frontline debates shaping housing policy today.Colin shares stories from his early days at UVA with Larry Sabato, the lessons that still guide his approach to politics and persuasion, and his time inside the U.S. Senate, where he learned how the institution really works — and sometimes doesn't.We also talk about his years at the National Association of Realtors, the evolving housing landscape, and why affordability has become one of the defining economic and political challenges of our time. Colin walks through how regional differences shape the narrative, how local leaders can meet voters where they are, and why events outside Washington often tell us more than the ones inside the Beltway.It's a smart and grounded conversation with someone who has lived the DC experience from multiple vantage points — and who's now leading a national effort to give property owners a stronger voice.

A judge in Charlottesville hears testimony in the sentencing of the man who pleaded guilty to killing three members of the UVa football team... A wildfire near Waynesboro is contained, but portions of Shenandoah National Park are still closed, and severe drought remains for much of our area... Housing affordability was a top campaign issue for Governor-elect Spanberger, and legislators have some ideas to address the issue....

Episode Notes Loaves and Fishes has grown to be the City's second-largest distribution partner of the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, supported by more than 100 volunteers. Executive Director Jane Colony Mills discusses the behind-the-scenes operations — from sourcing food to the work of their dietitian and volunteers — and reflects on why it's important for students to learn about the city they live in.

At the end of the world, Philip Lorish (University of Virginia) decided to open a bookstore. He says that despite the cultural moment that audiobooks are having and that impenetrable, digital mass distribution behemoth who shall not be named – bookstores matter. He's the owner of Commerce Street Books. And: As a child, Lamar Giles (William & Mary) was allowed to read anything he wanted. And he took full advantage of that on his weekly library visits. Everything from DC comics and Stephen King novels, he read it all. There was nothing called “young adult” literature when he was coming up. Now, he writes it. And he says it's important to him that kids today have the same freedom to read. Later in the show: When you think of trees in Charlottesville, Virginia, what comes to mind? Probably not the willow oaks lining the eight-block downtown mall. But MaKshya Tolbert (University of Virginia) became entangled with the trees. Her book is Shade is a place.

Eben erst feierte Trump das Einknicken von 8 demokratischen US-Senatoren als grossen Durchbruch. Der Shutdown endete, und das zu seinen Bedingungen. Nun haben Amerikanische Medien am Mittwochvormittag Lokalzeit über die neue Wende im Fall Epstein berichtet.Demokratische Abgeordnete im Repräsentantenhaus hatten brisante E-Mails des verstorbenen Sexualstraftäters Jeffrey Epstein veröffentlicht. Diese legen nahe, dass Trump mehr über Epsteins Missbrauchsring wusste, als bisher eingestanden.Unbestritten ist, dass Trump und Epstein einst gut befreundet waren. Davon will Trump nichts mehr wissen. Der 79-jährige Präsident feiert aber nach wie vor gerne und liebt den Prunk, wie die neue Dekoration seines Büros im Weissen Haus zeigt. An Halloween lud Trump zu einer rauschenden Great-Gatsby-Party ein, benannt nach dem Roman von F. Scott Fitzgerald, der vor 100 Jahren erschienen ist und in den goldenen 1920er-Jahren spielt. «The Great Gatsby» nehme Trumps Amerika vorweg, schrieb die amerikanische Literaturwissenschaftlerin Sarah Churchwell in der «Financial Times». Sieht sich Donald Trump als eine Art «Great Gatsby» seines eigenen Goldenen Zeitalters? Was hat es mit seinem Goldfimmel auf sich? Wie wirkt sich das Ende des Shutdowns aus, auf die Demokratische Partei wie auf die USA überhaupt? Darüber unterhält sich Christof Münger, Leiter des Ressorts International, mit dem langjährigen USA-Korrespondenten Martin Kilian in einer neuen Folge von «Alles klar, Amerika?» Kilian lebt in Charlottesville, Virginia.Produzentin: Jacqueline WechslerPodcastfolge zum Thema (Publikation: Juli 2025):Die Causa Jeffrey Epstein hat Donald Trump eingeholt: Was nun?Artikel zum Thema: Neue Epstein-E-Mails belasten Trump schwerDemokraten lenken ein, um Shutdown zu beenden«Trump ist bereit, hungernden Kindern zu schaden, um seinen Willen durchzusetzen»Trumps goldener Schriftzug erinnert an ein Möchtegern-Luxushotel Mehr USA-Berichterstattung finden Sie auf unserer Webseite und in den Apps.

Nick Fuentes and his followers - Groypers - are working to push American conservatism and the MAGA movement into even more dangerous and reactionary territory. He started to gain a following in 2017 after the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. On his show, America First, Fuentes openly praises Adolf Hitler and pushes white supremacist, Christian nationalist and antisemitic ideas. Fuentes, and his ideas moved one step closer to the mainstream last week when he sat down with Tucker Carlson, one of the most prominent right wing talk show hosts in the U.S.So we're talking about this mainstreaming of his beliefs with Ali Breland, staff writer at The Atlantic, and Ben Lorber, senior research analyst at the social justice think tank Political Research Associates. Lorber is also the author of Safety through Solidarity: A Radical Guide to Fighting Antisemitism.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

Roddy Jones has a house full of sick kids (one of which you'll hear from), Hartzell has two boys who are out of school for Veteran's Day, and Tripp is ... missing ... for the first 30 minutes of the show. Once Tripp does arrive, a fight ensues over the Indiana/Penn State game and what may (or may not) have been said on the TV broadcast. There's plenty of ACC discussion, including Roddy's trip to Charlottesville to watch Wake ruin Virginia's dream season, plus thoughts on fraudulent Louisville and the fact that Boston College has officially quit (according to Hartzell). What does all of this mean for the ACC tiebreaker scenarios and the most likely combination of teams that are going to play in Charlotte in December? CFP predictions for tonight's rankings unveil, week 11 takeaways, and Rodstradamus' weekly selections are all included. Good stuff on the early week show!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If you've ever laid awake at 3AM, counting sheep, overanalyzing your life, and stressing that you'll be a zombie tomorrow, this episode, part 2 of our series on sleep, is one  you don't want to miss.Today, Susan and Kate sit down with the Dr. Christopher Winter, neurologist, sleep medicine specialist, and author of The Sleep Solution and The Rested Child. He's the go-to expert for pro athletes, firefighters, and anyone who's ever wondered, “What's wrong with my sleep?”But here's the twist: according to Dr. Winter, your sleep might not be “broken” at all. In fact, the way we think about sleep, our fears, expectations, and obsession with perfection, might be the real problem.This isn't another conversation about blue light and blackout curtains. Dr. Winter flips the script on everything you think you know about insomnia, sleep hygiene, and the infamous “8-hour rule.” You'll laugh, you'll learn, and you might just stop fearing those restless nights once and for all.Because maybe, just maybe… your body knows exactly what it's doing.In this episode:Insomnia isn't a disease, it's a perception.  Most people who say they “can't sleep” are actually sleeping more than they realize. The problem isn't sleep, it's the anxiety about sleep.The real secret? Be happy awake or asleep. When you stop fearing wakefulness, insomnia loses its power.This conversation will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about sleep, and maybe even help you stop fighting with your pillow.P.S. This is part 2 of our sleep series!

Time again for another sonic edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement, a newsletter and podcast that seeks to capture at least some of what happens in local and regional government. The timestamp for this one is the 312th day of the year 2025, otherwise known asNovember 8. I'm Sean Tubbs, glad to bring you another set of stories that went out this morning on WTJU. Why not send them out again to all of you?In this edition:* A round-up of elections at the state and local level* Charlottesville is planning to launch a public art program and City Council gets an update (4:30) (read the story)* Charlottesville is holding a Community Walk this Sunday through the Venable neighborhood (read the story)* A divided City Council appears willing to sell Clarke Court to the Jefferson Scholars Foundation (read the story)* Albemarle County prepares to celebrate Veterans Day with a ceremony* A very quick preview of the Week Ahead!This edition is an audio version which is on the same feed as the newsletter. The links above go to stories that have already gone out. The next new edition is tomorrow!Sponsorship demonstration: Westwind FlowersFall is in full bloom at Westwind Flowers!

Visit their website to learn more!Sponsorship demonstration?Every edition of this newsletter allows me to continue to experiment with getting messages out to people who are paying for that for one reason or another. This all began in 2020 when I was considering a launch and created a Patreon account. Many of the shout-outs you see and hear are because I created a system where people or entities that paid a certain amount could get some sort of a benefit.Over the years, I've offered more opportunities for people to qualify for shout-outs but the vast majority of people who are eligible for that system don't take advantage of it. And as the audience grows, so does the value of reaching people.In addition to this newsletter, there's also Information Charlottesville, a companion website that provides a more robust archive than what my current service provides. Traffic there is light but the potential is there for that to serve as a community archive.I'm not ready to broadcast the media kit I've put together yet because it's not quite ready. I've still got a lot to learn and I'm looking for people and entities that would like to help support the business while assisting me with my experimenting.I am a one-person operation and I put the reporting first. But as I continue this experiment I find myself intrigued with a part of the business I've never really been part of except for my attempts to sell ads in the early 1990's for a college newspaper.Drop me a line if you'd like to learn more.

When a band's first album drops, it's exciting. When it shoots up to a top three position on the charts – any chart for that matter – something is happening. That's exactly what is happening to Ramona & The Holy Smokes whose eponymous debut album landed at No. 3 on the Alt Country Specialty Chart in early October. It has bounced around the top 10 since and debuted at No. 50 on the Americana Music Association charts on October 29. Founder and front woman Ramona Martinez joined Frank and Falls on Roots Music Rambler the day after the Alt-Country chart spike to talk about the new album, her decidedly old-school country sound, her journey to being an artist and much more. Martinez's parents were military and diplomacy professionals, so she lived in several different countries growing up. She landed in Charlottesville, Va., where her music career took hold, after several years working in public radio. The new album is full of Texas-sounding honky tonk drinkin' and thinkin' songs. The band's sound includes multicultural and bilingual numbers as well, underlining Martinez's South Texas family roots.  Frank and Falls also have their Pickin' the Grinnin' selections for new music recommendations and Falls actually joins the show from the radio studio in Pikeville, Ky., where he first broadcast at 14-years-old in 1987.

They dive into the highs and lows of freelancing in fashion's competitive jungle, the power of a good education, and the hustle it takes to build a brand that lasts longer than a fast-fashion trend cycle.With wisdom, warmth, and a few laughs, Shanya reminds us that quality over quantity is always in style and sharing what you know is the best accessory you can have.====Where You Can Find Shanya!

If you love old books – if you love how they smell, if you love imagining their journeys through the world into your hands, if you can't pass by a used bookstore without popping inside – then you'll love today's episode. Our guest is Fr. Michael Suarez, SJ, a Jesuit priest and the director of the Rare Book School at the University of Virginia. The Rare Book School runs courses for students and practitioners from all disciplines on the history of written, printed and digital materials with leading scholars and professionals in the field. Fr. Suarez is also an English professor and an honorary curator of UVA's special collections. Host Mike Jordan Laskey asked him about the work of the Rare Book School and why he is fascinated by books (and all matter of printed material) as cultural objects. They also discussed how Fr. Suarez's work has deep connections to his faith, and how the Jesuits through the centuries have often been at the forefront of writing and making books around the world. Fr. Suarez is so clearly passionate about his work and teaching that it'll make you want to travel to Charlottesville, Virginia, to check out all the fascinating stuff housed in the special collections at the university.
