Do consider a paid subscription today in case a time accident takes place and suddenly I'm whisked back to September 5, 1698, when Tsar Peter I of Russia levied a tax on beards for everyone except the clergy and peasants. This is most likely not going to happen, but this is one possible reason to make a contribution.This Saturday edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement also offers me the opportunity to experiment. This particular version has material that did not appear on the WTJU radio program and is created fresh for the loyal listeners of the podcast.But for the first time in a regular post, paid subscribers get access to a synopsis of a particular project. There's nothing new in the reporting, but I took the opportunity to write up a summary of the ill-fated West2nd project based on a combination of previous reporting and new research. That part is not in the audio. Stories this week: * Charlottesville follows through with plans to clear encampments along the Rivanna River after 2000 Holiday Drive opens (look at the story)* Albemarle Supervisors presented with metrics on county performance in FY2026 (read story)* Albemarle Supervisors agree to allow County Executive to sign performance agreement for Southwood's second phase (view story)* Albemarle Supervisors agreed to charge fares for MicroCAT (see story)* Albemarle Supervisors approved rezoning for 18-unit development on three acres in Crozet (story forthcoming on C-Ville Weekly)* Paid subscribers get a written summary of what happened with West2nd, an unbuilt development that would been constructed on a city parking lot They are not all podcasts, but this one is. If you sign up for free, you'll get that each week as well as a lot of other information. Paid subscribers get a smidge more and support the work financially A sponsored message: Panorama Natural BurialAt Panorama Natural Burial, we believe caring for the deceased can be simple, meaningful, and deeply connected to the natural world. As a natural burial ground just outside Charlottesville, we offer families an alternative to traditional burial that honors both the people we love and the land that will carry them forward.Whether you are planning ahead, navigating a recent loss, or are just curious about natural burial, we welcome the conversation. We host regular tours and community events throughout the year. At Panorama we are building new ways of understanding death, land, ecology, ritual, memory, and community. We believe that building community around death care helps us all to live fuller lives. We are open to the public daily 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Come visit!No arrests made in conjunction with Charlottesville removal of people from Rivanna River encampmentsThis story assembles coverage from previous editions of the newsletterThis week the City of Charlottesville followed through on a deadline to remove people from encampments along the Rivanna River as soon as an emergency shelter opened at 2000 Holiday Drive to provide an alternative.Charlottesville's chief building official issued a temporary certificate of occupancy early September 1 after work crews cleared a list of violations that held up issuance the day before.The city closed off the Rivanna Trail at Free Bridge on Tuesday to give space for the clean-up and asked media representatives to stay clear.By the end of the first day, sixteen people had opted to move into the emergency shelter and the camps were declared to be closed.The same night, video footage captured someone setting fire to two of tents still standing at one of the camp sites. Officials are still requesting help.By the end of Wednesday night, ten more people had moved in. The city that day also posted a video with Nathan Smith, the CEO of Central Arizona Shelter Services. That firm is being paid $3.2 million for a year's worth of running the emergency low-barrier shelter.“Low-barrier shelter means we do everything we can to eliminate all the things that prevent people from accessing shelter,” said Nathan Smith. “For example, people don't access shelter because they can't bring their pets.”In the video, Smith takes viewers through the renovated first floor of 2000 Holiday Drive which includes storage space for people's belongings.“We have 240 bins for what could be up to 120 people,” Smith said. “Not certain 120 people are going to be here. If so, great, everyone can have two bins, but if not, maybe they can have three.”The men's dorm currently has 37 twin-size beds in a congregate setting but more can be added. Each has a locker underneath. Charging stations are nearby for phones and other devices, but also for health equipment like CPAP machines.There are currently 21 beds in the women's dorm. There are also four isolation rooms for a variety of purposes such as if guests are sick.Tables have also been set up for guests to play games and to share time with each other. Smith said that many people experiencing homelessness are also feeling isolated.“One of the reasons why people enjoy living in encampment situations is because they have a sense of community,” Smith said. “We want to bring them into a safer space where they're not worried about getting flooded or the other things that happen with the elements, particularly in the winter.”On Thursday, the city also released images and a video of what appears to be a person dressed in light clothing along a paved portion of the trail. As they walk into the frame of the security camera, they put a hat on their head to shield their identity.The person briefly leaves the trail and walks to one of the tents still standing alongside discarded items. They use some sort of a mechanism to start a flame and walk away when it ignites. The person that moves further down the trail and appears to walk away. They turn back to catch another tent on fire. This flame burns more quickly and continues to grow as the video ends.The city asks anyone with information to call the Crime Stoppers line at 434-977-4000.Take a look at the video here.City Councilor Jen Fleisher updated the members of the Thomas Planning District Commission on the closure of the encampments at the group's meeting on September 3.“We've moved everyone out into shelter or alternative housing,” Fleisher said. “And that was an effort that involved multiple departments and agencies, as well as nonprofits and community volunteers. We've met with 26 guests, well, 27 guests as of this afternoon. Doors are open.”Fleisher said Central Arizona Shelter Services is being paid to run the site for the next year while plans continue to be developed to convert 2000 Holiday Drive into a permanent emergency shelter.Fleisher also said the cleanup of the trail will continue through Saturday and damages are being repaired.When asked about the fire, Fleisher said the fire happened after the last three residents of the encampment left on Wednesday night.So far no lawsuits have been filed against the city, but Fleisher confirmed there many people on site observing activities during the removal period.“While they were with us all day, no one communicated with us any concerns, and I haven't seen any reports yet,” Fleisher said.People staying there are getting two meals, a place to shower, and access to case managers.“That's the goal, to make this a stepping stone into transitional housing, then permanent supportive housing, and do so by really getting back on or first time connected to that case management, the support needed,” Fleisher said.On Friday, the city's Communications and Public Engagement office did another in-house video with City Manager Sam Sanders. He said that even though the shelter is operating under a temporary permit, the intent is for it to never close.“We're gonna make improvements to the space while we continue to serve in that location. I see it as a one-stop homeless services center,” Sanders said. “That's what I would like it to be. That is what we're hoping that our partners can come together and produce and that we can find as many providers who are willing to come to that location.”Sanders said the city will also be investing in transitional housing as a next step for many after a congregate emergency shelter. He thanked all involved with the swift opening of 2000 Holiday Drive.“We started this conversation in mid-July, and here we are in early September with the facility open that I never envisioned could be possible this quickly after buying the building last year,” Sanders said. “And our community partners, the assessment team members, all the folks who have really, really rallied around the idea that An emergency response is what was needed for what was happening at the Rivanna River.”The topic is likely to come up in some form at City Council's meeting on Tuesday, September 8.One item in the packet is Sanders' written report which contains a mention that he met with the executive director of the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission on September 1 to “to discuss opportunities to align funding priorities to support a regional response to homelessness using currently allocated opportunities to engage all regional parties in the discussion.”What will that look like? Stay tuned to Charlottesville Community Engagement.Background context on why one Downtown Charlottesville project didn't work outThis week, the formerly daily newspaper called the Charlottesville Daily Progress printed an article about the demise of West2nd that appears to have been based on previous reporting in this newsletter. It's likely behind a paywall, but somehow I was able to click through.West2nd is a failed development by Woodard Properties that began life as Market Plaza. The article prompted a polemic on Reddit from someone demanding that the Board of Architectural Review be disbanded due to their role in the project's demise.As with many things, that is not the complete picture.My idea of a fun Friday night is reviewing old stories to make sure any future reporting I do is still valid. I'm only as good as how accurate I am, and memory should never be trusted. I also wanted to fill in one of my knowledge gaps.In the following, all links go to reporting I did years ago at Charlottesville Tomorrow unless otherwise noted.The roots of the failure of West2nd begin with the way the project came to be. In October, City Council put out a request for developers interested in developing the city-owned lot that also included 105 spots for market vendors. That idea stemmed from a design contest held by the now-defunct Charlottesville Community Design Center in 2007.Four proposals were received and one of them did imagine purchasing the lot next door from Charlottesville Parking Center which at that time was still owned by a group of shareholders rather than one person. Council selected Woodard Properties in June 2014 for an L-shaped nine-story building with 67 residential units, commercial space, and 115 market slots.“You see that it is possible to come to decisions,” said Mayor Satyendra Huja. “I have made up my mind that mixed-use development and the market can happen on this site in spite of the number of consultants we hired that said no.”A special use permit was needed and it sailed through the review process and was approved in December 2014. The Board of Architectural Review still had to sign off on the design.On Council, Huja was just an elected official and not in his previous perch as director of the city's planning efforts. He would leave office and permanently retire from public life at the end of 2015 but was on Council in October 2015 when the special use permit was amended.In early 2015, Planning director Jim Tolbert had left. That meant the project went through the rest of the planning process without anyone on Council to try to shepherd it through and with a new person in charge in Neighborhood Development Services.Council had a lot of turnover. Mike Signer and Wes Bellamy joined Council in 2016. Heather Hill and Nikuyah Walker did so in 2018, after the events of the year before. The political climate changed.When another request to amend the special use permit came before Council in early 2018, a 3-2 majority denied it. (C-Ville Weekly version by another reporter)“Whenever we begin to create housing that is supposed to be top-notch and high-level, very rarely do individuals from low-income communities have the opportunity to take advantage of such,” said Councilor Wes Bellamy at the time.After that vote, Woodard agreed to make changes and the new count was 4-1 two months later. Only Walker remained as a no vote. (Cavalier Daily article)By June 2018, I had left Charlottesville Tomorrow and out of play as a reporter. My new job did not extend to covering the Board of Architectural Review.At this point, the project has received a preliminary certificate of appropriateness from the BAR. According to the minutes of their August 21, 2018 meeting, Woodard returned to get it finalized and he hoped to get under construction by October.A description of the review begins on page 7 and indicates many BAR members were dissatisfied with many aspects of the project.A vote to recommend denial was 5 to 3 “based on the comments cited earlier focusing on mass and height and the use of the plaza as a functional public space.”While Woodard's lawyer appealed the BAR's decision to Council, that hearing never happened. Woodard also issued a press release announcing the project would be abandoned.“I hope that someone else can move this project forward. In early 2014 when we responded to the City RFP to develop this project, it was a different City Council and different circumstances. The last straw for us was yet another unexpected delay by the City Board of Architectural Review (BAR) on August 21st” said Keith Woodard.Some other articles to round this out:* Developer scraps West2nd project, citing ‘unexpected delay' from city's Board of Architectural Review, Eliza Haverstock, Cavalier Daily, August 30, 2018* West2nd City Council appeal indicates the project could still move forward, Geremia Di Maro and Jake Gold, Cavalier Daily, September 1, 2026* ‘The last straw:' Woodard pulls the plug on West2nd, Samantha Baars, August 30, 2018Woodard's son Anthony now runs Woodard Properties and recently purchased the 100 East Water Street for $15 million from the Charlottesville Parking Center, as I reported for C-Ville Weekly.The City Market continues to be a down attraction, coinciding with one held at the Ix Art Park.How will things develop in the future?Thanks to your paid subscription to the newsletter, I hope to continue to do the work for a long time to come.This post has bonus content for paid subscribers. Upgrade to get full access.Thoughts at the end of #1119-A Somehow the work week has concluded. And I have the opportunity to take a day off. I dislike this because as I say a lot, work to me relaxing. I research things for a living, and I have a lot of deadlines. If I am working toward them, I feel in a positive state.If I am not, I begin to deteriorate.This particular edition is a little late. Many podcast listeners this week have reached out to say how important it is for them to be able to hear the stories, so I'll keep doing them. I also want to figure out how to work with people who might like to learn production skills. In any case, this is now finished and I'm going to go to a birthday party a friend is throwing for herself. I will try my best not to work when I am there.The Week Ahead may be delayed until Monday morning with the next regular newsletter on Tuesday. I have two stories written for that. The goal with work tomorrow is to try to get a lot of next week framed out so when the time comes I'll just get to the tasks at hand. At some point, too, there is financial work to be done. I really need to get to that. Thanks again for reading and listening. Please share with people. This has all grown through word of mouth and people sharing. For now, though? Time to clean my kitchen after the delicious brunch I made for myself earlier after a five mile walk after sunrise. I'm old now, and I'm here for it. This is a public episode.

It sounds simple because it is — and the downstream effects go way deeper than "wellness."In this episode:• Why I built a free tool called the Tender Timer and how to use it to alternate focused work with active self-care throughout your day• How disconnecting from yourself while working is what actually causes overworking — and why reconnecting is the fix• What reclaiming my posture (including ditching my bed and lowering my desk to the floor) taught me about listening to my body• Why the path to making more money without working more starts with 10x-ing your self-care, not optimizing your strategy• How your capacity — not your to-do list — determines the size of the ideas you'll actually act on

Housing is expensive. But for Catholic families, the consequences go far beyond the mortgage payment.In this episode of The Catholic Money Show, Amanda and Jonathan look at America's housing affordability crisis through the lens of Catholic social teaching.When families can no longer afford to live near their work, extended family, or parish, housing begins to affect family formation, community life, work, and even our ability to fully participate in the life of the Church.Amanda and Jonathan discuss:Why today's housing problem is more than an economic issueThe Church's teaching on a family's right to decent housingHow housing costs can affect marriage, children, and parish lifeThe ethical questions surrounding private property, the common good, development, and private equityWhy younger generations are facing a genuinely different housing marketWhether renting can actually be the prudent financial choiceMultigenerational living as a strategy rather than a failureHow to decide what matters most when choosing where to liveWhy homeownership should come at the right point in your financial planPractical ways to prepare for buying a home without overextending yourselfWhy Catholic employers and institutions need to think seriously about wages and family lifeHow prayer and discernment belong in major financial decisionsThe housing market may be difficult, but that does not mean your family has no path forward.Get the WalletWin Weekly newsletter at:https://walletwin.com/newsletterThis episode is sponsored by Tighten Your Tinkler.

Steve Gilbert is an 80-year-old, two-time Boston Marathon finisher and one of the most inspiring people I've ever had the pleasure of sitting down with. Steve was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2004 — the same year he was forced into early retirement and diagnosed with prostate cancer. He could have accepted the "go home and take your medication" prescription. He didn't - and has since completed seven marathons.Thank you to Alan Errichiello for connection to Steve!During this episode, sponsored by Cure Hydration and Noogs, we talk about:Being told "this is the best you'll ever be" at 59 — and choosing to ignore itHow a prosecutor, a Golden Gloves boxer, and a borrowed gym space became Rock Steady Boxing — now a worldwide movement for people with Parkinson'sHis very first Indy Mini in 1979 — because his wife said soTraining through winters, falls, and a fall outside a Kroger on 116th Street (with a DoorDash driver as the first responder)His first marathon finish at the 2011 Monumental — complete with the Rocky theme playing as he turned onto the finish stretch

Mike Vollmer and I connected thanks to the 500 Festival, who introduced us knowing I'd want to hear from someone who has run every single Indy Mini since the very first one in 1977.During this episode, sponsored by Cure, we talk about:How a politician's desire for name recognition in his own district accidentally launched a 49-year streak What the first Indy Mini looked like — 762 runners, an 11am start, 85 degrees and full sun, and a $5 entry feeRunning his first mini in indoor track shoes with rubber heel cupsStanding next to Frank Shorter at the start line (the man who launched the running boom of the '70s!)How the course has changed dramatically since 1977 — the scenic rolling hills along the White River, Coffin Hill, and why the track used to destroy anklesHis role in bringing St. Francis Hospital on as a sponsor — and how that sponsorship gave us the beloved finish line chocolate chip cookies

What do we want from sports? The very best athletes competing as hard as they know how, putting all their effort and training and natural ability to the test against their opponents. But this time of year, that's not the product the NBA is putting on the court. Instead, teams at the bottom of the league are competing … to lose, because it could help them get a top pick in next year's draft. It's called tanking — it's bad for fans, and it's bad for the league.Tanking has gotten especially egregious this year. Even NBA Adam Silver has called out teams for tanking. He recently announced that league bigwigs are considering “every possible remedy” to “align incentives.”Today on the show — Planet Money fixes the NBA's tanking problem by … fixing the NBA draft. We get solutions from Hockey Hall of Famer Jayna Hefford, World Cup Champion Sam Mewis, and long-time NBA analyst Zach Lowe. Handles for the NBA fans in the episode: thevoiceofevan, fullcourtblitz, ashleynevel, igotnxtpodcast, finesse.wes, basketballsavant, and mikedaddino__.Live event info and tickets here / Pre-order the Planet Money book and get a free gift. / Subscribe to Planet Money+Listen free: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or the NPR appFacebook / Instagram / TikTok / Our weekly NewsletterThis episode was hosted by Keith Romer and Erika Beras.

In my first ever interview-style solocast, my dear brother Ty Ward architects the flow beautifully to pull through the threads of my last 3 years in “the tunnel”. During this period of time, I was trudging through my dark night of the soul. Our family unit was working through challenges, finances were feeling rockier than I'm comfortable with, and my resistance to being with stillness and uncertainty became so loud, yet I powered through — at the expense of my health and relationships — like I have been “comfortably” doing for most of my life.Now, on the other side of my tunnel phase, I felt the call to share my experience from this season and what it felt like within my relationship to self and those closest to me, the ways I tried so hard to escape it all, and what ultimately allowed for me to sink into the messages that I was meant to tune into.In this solocast, I share...➝ My addiction to being busy, escaping stillness.➝ Family and financial challenges / reorientation.➝ What helped to create awareness around my avoidant patterns.➝ The tools and habits that moved me through my tunnel period.➝ Unblocking a new level of intimacy within my marriage.REFERENCEDThe Amazing Development of Men by Alison Armstrong: https://amzn.to/3TOTU7SAdyashanti: https://adyashanti.opengatesangha.orgBeck Change Cycle: https://marthabeck.com/change/Boyd Varty: https://boydvarty.comSalim Najjar: https://www.instagram.com/thathrvguy/Dan Martell on TGU: https://bit.ly/tguapplemartellCONNECT WITH CALInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cal.callahan/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thegreatunlearnYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/thegreatunlearn/Website: https://www.thegreatunlearn.comSubscribe to the newsletter: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/newsletterThis show is produced by Soulfire Productions
