Send us a textWelcome back everyone to the conclusion of my conversation with the amazing Nick Chiarkas! I was so excited about this interview I didn't want you guys to wait for next Sunday! I really enjoyed talking to Nick and I think you guys are going to feel the same about this episode.  Nick grew up in the Al Smith housing projects on Manhattan's Lower East Side. When he was in the fourth grade, his mother was told by the principal of PS-1 that "Nick was unlikely ever to complete high school, so you must steer him toward a simple and secure vocation." Instead, Nick became a writer, with a few stops along the way: a U.S. Army Paratrooper with the 101st Airborne Division serving in the Viet Nam war, a New York City Police Officer, Deputy Chief Counsel to the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, Deputy Chief Counsel for the President's Commission on Organized Crime; Chief Counsel for the USATBCB; and the Director of the Wisconsin State Public Defender Agency. On the way, he picked up a Doctorate from Columbia University, a Law Degree from Temple University, and was a Pickett Fellow at Harvard. Not bad for a guy whose principal told his parents that he wouldn't amount to much.I found this interview to be so captivating and entertaining. I didn't want it to end. I hope you guys feel the same. Please enjoy my conversation with Nick.In today's episode we discuss:.·      Why Nick left the NYPD after only seven years on the job. ·      His experience of being sent to the Woodstock music festival as security and meeting some of the musicians, including Jimi Hendrix.·      His part in the movie, The Anderson Tapes (Starring Sean Connery, Diane Cannon, and Christopher Walken). ·      How Nick wound up being the Deputy Chief Counsel to the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations and the Deputy Chief Counsel for the President's Commission on Organized Crime.·      His awkward first meeting with President Reagan.· His becoming the director of the Wisconsin State Public Defender Agency and how he was not welcomed with open arms because him being a former police officer. ·      The changes he instituted in the public defender's office.·      His books, Weepers and Nunzio's Way. All of this and more on today's episode of the Cops and Writers podcast.Check out Nick's Amazon Author page!Check out the new Cops and Writers YouTube channel!Check out my newest book, The Good Collar (Michael Quinn Vigilante Justice Series Book 1)!!!!!Enjoy the Cops and Writers book series.Please visit the Cops and Writers website.What would you do if you lost the one you loved the most?

More than 30 years have now passed since I began work as an intern for WVTF Public Radio, beginning a professional career that has at times included the production of audio stories. When Town Crier Productions first began putting out the Charlottesville Quarantine Report in March 2020, I finally returned back to having a sonic element as part of my work routine.The first 650 editions of this newsletter were all podcasts as well, but I made a change last February that has meant there's only one of these a week. That's because I produce a version for WTJU that airs Saturdays at 6 a.m. The idea is to produce a podcast version too, but the holidays were particularly grueling.Today's edition is produced as a reminder that audio is an aspiration, and perhaps the first time many new subscribers realize this occasional benefit. Everything you hear has already been in print and you can find the written articles over on Information Charlottesville.In this edition: * Democrats retain control of the Virginia General Assembly after three special elections on January 7 (learn more)* The General Assembly convened briefly on January 8 and recessed until Monday due to Richmond water crisis (learn more)* Governor Glenn Youngkin delivered the State of the Commonwealth address when they got back to work (learn more)* Albemarle Supervisors retain leadership for what is described as a challenging year (learn more)* A look at School Board races in Charlottesville so far (learn more)* Reids Super Save Market to close as Twice as Nice thrift store to purchase building (learn more)* Albemarle Planning Commissioners request different designations of for different kinds of rural land (learn more)* BAR members suggest changes to planned affordable housing building on Wertland Street (learn more)Sometimes there are podcast editions and this is one of them.

First shout-out: Celebrating the community's other information organizations!In today's first shout-out in the form of a house ad, I want to make sure everyone knows that every edition of the regular newsletter (not the podcast ones) ends with a section called Reading Material. Charlottesville Community Engagement is just one offering in a landscape that includes the Charlottesville Daily Progress, C-Ville Weekly, Charlottesville Tomorrow, and Cville Right Now, I curate links from these sources because I believe a truly informed community needs multiple perspectives.There's also the Cavalier Daily, Vinegar Hill Magazine, the Fluvanna Review, the Crozet Gazette, NBC29, CBS19, and other sources. But if you look every day, you'll find links to articles in national publications, all linked to give you more perspectives on some of the issues of our times.Second shout-out:What you are reading or listening to at Charlottesville Community Engagement is part of a business-venture that's based on a pretty simple idea. I will spend my time researching and reporting and will provide ways for people who want to pay for the material to be produced!bI've been a journalist for a long while now, and this year marks the 20th anniversary of the Charlottesville Podcasting Network. While that website doesn't have new content, it's part of how I demonstrate my dedication to this community. In 2025 I'm seeking ways to solidify the business, and here are some ways you can support the work.* Sign up for a paid subscription through Substack. There is not much premium content because my primary aim is to get information out to as many people as possible.* Contribute through Patreon. A major goal this year is to replace this with a way to make a tax-deductible donation, but that's not set up yet. If I had more time, I'd make more audio programs through Patreon.* Send in a check made out to Town Crier Productions at PO Box 1754, Charlottesville, Virginia, 22902. This will be used as a replacement for Substack.* Ask me about advertising opportunities! Later this month, advertising will begin to appear on Information Charlottesville and I'm hoping it can have the same style as the shout-outs.
