Our conversation today with Tyler Hinkle, Shenandoah County's Planner is part of an ongoing series following the work on Shenandoah 2045 - Shenandoah County's comprehensive plan. The planning process will unfold over the course of four years with the majority of the community collaboration occurring from 2020-2022, with input in 2023-2024. Today, Tyler and I talked about Chapter One: Historic, Cultural, and Scenic Resources in the first segment.  Chapter 1: Historic, Cultural, And Scenic Resources Provides a vision and objectives to protect and enhance aspects such as the Historic Resources such as Native American village sites, sensitive battlefield areas, or key historic structures and districts. Cultural Resources such as artwork, archeological sites, and objects, canals or other human-made earthwork that is important to human history. Scenic Resources such as historic views from battlefields, pull-off areas on roadways to enjoy scenic vistas, scenic byways, or the view from or in downtown historic communities. You can find the chapter overview below and view the entire plan in various forms here: https://shenandoahcountyva.us/2045plan/ In the second segment, we dived into the community engagement and feedback they've received. Tyler shared a slide show/presentation that featured much of what they've learned.

Unless otherwise noted, all Web addresses mentioned were functional as of 2-3-23.TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO From the Cumberland Gap to the Atlantic Ocean, this is Virginia Water Radio for the weeks of February 6 and February 13, 2023.  This is the last of a series of three planned episodes this winter on the Virginia General Assembly. MUSIC – ~12 sec – instrumental. That's part of “Midwinter Etude,” by Timothy Seaman of Williamsburg, Va.  The astronomical midwinter date of February 3 was also just about the midpoint of the Virginia General Assembly's planned 46-day session for 2023.  This year, the Assembly has been considering nearly 2400 bills, including budget bills with proposed amendments to the current biennial budget.  About 130 of those bills involve water, either focusing specifically on water resources or on land uses that have impacts on water. This is Virginia Water Radio's annual episode giving youa chance to imagine being an Assembly member, and to consider how you'd vote on some water-related measures.  I'll briefly describe nine measures.  After each description, you'll have a few seconds of a ticking clock sound to decide if you would vote for or against the idea, and then I'll give the measure's status, as of February 3. Nos. 1 and 2.  House Bill 2004 would require Virginia natural and historic resource agencies to establish policies and procedures for consulting with federally recognized Tribal Nations in Virginia when the agencies evaluate certain permits that potentially could impact those Tribal Nations.  [SOUND – ~2 sec – ticking]  The bill was in a House committee, while its companion bill, Senate Bill 1332, had passed the Senate. No. 3.  House Bill 1917would require the Board of Health to adopt regulations to adopt regulations governing public swimming pools and other public water recreational facilities.  [SOUND – ~2 sec – ticking]  The bill was in a House committee. No. 4.  Senate Bill 897 would allow the Governor's Agriculture and Forestry Industries Development Fund to be used for aquaculture, and it would specifically designate money from that fund for a Blue Catfish Processing, Flash Freezing, and Infrastructure Grant Program.  [SOUND – ~2 sec – ticking]  The bill had passed the Senate. Nos. 5 and 6.  House Bill 1485and Senate Bill 1129 would (among other provisions) delay for four years or two years, respectively, the effective date for regulatory actions on certain agricultural practices under the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Implementation Plan, which was required by the 2010 federal Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load process.  [SOUND – ~2 sec – ticking]  The House bill had passed the House and was in a Senate committee; the Senate bill was on the Senate floor. Nos. 7 and 8: House Bill 2189 would require certain industries to test their wastewater for several of the substances known collectively as PFAS chemicals and to transmit the results to the relevant wastewater treatment facility.  And Senate Bill 1013 would require waterworks owners to notify customer when certain PFAS chemicals are present in the water supply above certain levels.  [SOUND – ~2 sec – ticking]  The House bill was on the House floor, and the Senate bill had passed the Senate.  And No. 9.  Senate Bill 1012 would prohibit state agencies from using single-use plastic bags, cutlery, straws, water bottles, or food containers, except during a declared state of emergency.  [SOUND – ~2 sec – ticking]  The bill failed in committee. These measures, like most bills or resolutions, involve much more detail than you've heard here, and bills often get amended significantly.  The Assembly's Web site, virginiageneralassembly.gov, has tools to help you get more information and to express your opinions to Assembly members.  The 2023 Virginia General Assembly is scheduled to adjourn on February 25, so time is quickly ticking away. Thanks to Timothy Seaman for permission to use this week's opening music.  We close with another musical selection, whose title reflects the rapid pace of important business that characterizes General Assembly sessions.  Here's about 25 seconds of “The Race,” by the Harrisonburg- and Rockingham County, Va.-based band, The Steel Wheels. MUSIC – ~25 sec – “Tempest turns and the winds are wailing.  Oh we got a race that must be run, oh we got a race that must be run; oh we got a race that must be run, oh we got a race that must be run.” SHIP'S BELL Virginia Water Radio is produced by the Virginia Water Resources Research Center, part of Virginia Tech's College of Natural Resources and Environment.  For more Virginia water sounds, music, or information, visit us online at virginiawaterradio.org, or call the Water Center at (540) 231-5624.  Thanks to Stewart Scales for his banjo version of “Cripple Creek” to open and close this episode.  In Blacksburg, I'm Alan Raflo, thanking you for listening, and wishing you health, wisdom, and good water.

Unless otherwise noted, all Web addresses mentioned were functional as of 1-20-23. TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO From the Cumberland Gap to the Atlantic Ocean, this is Virginia Water Radio for the weeks of January 23 and January 30, 2023.  This update of a January 2015 episode is the second of three planned episodes this winter on Virginia's General Assembly. MUSIC – ~15 sec – instrumental. That's part of  “World's Too Big,” by Blacksburg, Va., musician Kat Mills, from her 2006 album, “Two.”  It opens an episode on what is one of the biggest jobs, and has some of the biggest impacts, of any General Assembly session: the state budget.  The Commonwealth operates on a biennial budget, covering two fiscal years, which run from July 1 through June 30.  In sessions in even-numbered years, the General Assembly sets the budget for the upcoming two years, and typically in every session the Assembly considers amendments to the current budget.  Virginia's current two-year budget, as approved last year by the Assembly and the governor, is about $163 billion dollars, with about $159 billion for operating expenses and the rest for capital expenses. Now, have a listen to the music for about 20 more seconds, and see how much of that amount you think goes to water-related matters. MUSIC – ~22 sec – lyrics: “World's too big to see in one lifetime.  The world's too big to see in one day.  And we work too hard to get much perspective; I'd like to see things a different way.  World….” According to the Virginia Department of Planning and Budget, the Commonwealth's current two-year operating-expense budget funds about 210 programs.  Of these, Water Radio identified 23 that relate to activities that can affect water, either directly, or indirectly through air, land, or energy management.  Those 23 programs account for about $3.3 billion in the current two-year budget.  Here's a sample of those programs, to give you a sense of where Virginia's water-related dollars go: some direct water-connection programs are boating safety, coastal lands mapping, drinking water improvement, marine life management, port facilities, seafood promotion, and water protection; and some indirect water-connection programs are air protection, disaster and emergency preparedness, forest management, minerals management, and regulation of public utilities. If you'd like more information about the big, complicated subject of Virginia's state budget, you can get details from the Department of Planning and Budget, online at dpb.virginia.gov. Thanks to Kat Mills for permission to this episode's music, and, in the spirit of a subject too big for one short Water Radio episode, we close with about 35 more seconds of “World's Too Big.” MUSIC – ~38 sec – Lyrics: “World's too big to see in one lifetime.  What do you think you'll do this year in the world, world, world, in the world?” SHIP'S BELL Virginia Water Radio is produced by the Virginia Water Resources Research Center, part of Virginia Tech's College of Natural Resources and Environment.  For more Virginia water sounds, music, or information, visit us online at virginiawaterradio.org, or call the Water Center at (540) 231-5624.  Thanks to Ben Cosgrove for his version of “Shenandoah” to open and close this episode.  In Blacksburg, I'm Alan Raflo, thanking you for listening, and wishing you health, wisdom, and good water.

Rita Cofield is an associate project specialist working on the Los Angeles African American Historic Places (LAAAHP) at the Getty Conservation Institute. Deqah first met Rita virtually on a National Trust panel on preservation podcasting, and Vanessa was connected to Rita by LA Principal City Planner Ken Bernstein (our special guest at the Biddy Mason Listen & Learn, which you should check out if you haven't yet!). We got to know Rita in-person at the Historic African American Neighborhood and District Summit in Atlanta, HAANDS. We recorded this conversation there, and will be publishing more with HAANDS attendees in the coming weeks. So stay tuned :) In this conversation, Rita shares her exciting work on the LAAAHP, which expands on work that was started with the SurveyLA project, a previous partnership between the Getty Conservation Institute and the Los Angeles City Planning's Office of Historic Resources between 2010 and 2017 to survey and inventory parcels in the city and surface places historically significant to communities of color. Rita also volunteers as Executive Director of the Friends at Mafundi, an advocacy organization that seeks to protect and preserve the historic Watts Happening Cultural Center (also known as the Mafundi Building) in Watts, California, a project close to Rita's heart. She mentions a great mentor who she worked with on the project: Roger E. Mosley, actor, director, coach, and beloved mentor to creatives, academics, and athletes. The Watts community also recently lost Oscar Neal, a Watts activist, advocate, historian, business owner and former owner of the historic Jordan's Café in Watts. Credits: Thank you to Rita Cofield. This episode was edited by Vanessa Quirk and mixed by Connor Lynch. Our music is by Adaam James Levin-Areddy. Your hosts are Deqah Hussein-Wetzel and Vanessa Quirk.

IN THE NEWS:Last week, all seven Democrats representing Virginia in the House of Representatives voted in favor of the Respect for Marriage Act, protecting gay and interracial marriage from future Supreme Court rulings. A total of 47 Republicans also voted for the bill--but none of them from Virginia.Also in the news: Governor Glenn Youngkin's appointment to the Board of Historic Resources, Ann Hunter McLean sparked controversy with her belief that the statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee's statue on Monument Avenue was erected to promote virtue in the public; she also describes Confederate statues as "vehicles of moral uplift in a time of rapid urbanization and social change."Also in the news: If you know someone posting violent fantasies online, Virginia has new red-flag laws to disarm those people--but only if citizens take action by calling law enforcement. Safer Country founder Paul Freedman is working with Fairfax County on a public awareness campaign: "Prevent a Gun Tragedy, Speak Up."GUEST: Former Delegate Dr. David Ramadan breaks down the latest campaign finance reports in three crucial Congressional districts: VA-02 (incumbent Democrat Elaine Luria vs Republican Jen Kiggans), VA-07 (incumbent Democrat Abigail Spanberger vs. Republican Yesli Vega), and VA-10 (incumbent Democrat Jennifer Wexton vs. Republican Hung Cao).Learn more at http://linktr.ee/JacklegMediaSponsored by the Substance Abuse and Addiction Recovery Alliance of Virginia

In a town as old as Williamsburg, Virginia, which was established in 1638, it's often the case that historic buildings with interesting pasts stand unnoticed and in plain sight. Such was the case for the building that once housed Williamsburg's Bray School. A school founded by a group of Anglican clergymen with the express purpose of educating Black children in the ways of the Anglican faith. It was an education that included reading, possibly writing, and the Book of Common Prayer. In honor of Juneteenth, we explore the exciting rediscovery of Williamsburg's Bray School with three scholars: Maureen Elgersman Lee, Director of the Bray School Lab at William & Mary; Ronald Hurst, Vice President of Museums, Preservation, and Historic Resources at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, and Nicole Brown, a historic interpreter, American Studies graduate student, and the graduate student assistant at William & Mary's Bray School Lab.
