North Carolinas Oyster aquaculture industry is still in its enfancy, although rapidly expanding. This emerging shellfish farming industry has rapdily increased in size in upwards of 600% in some areas of our state such as Pender County within a very short amount of time. This growth has caught the attention of many stakeholders in the area that share these public trust marine reasources, including many local fishing guides.  Nearly 30 people spoke Wednesday night Januray 31 during a North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries-hosted public hearing on shellfish lease applications of two (Pender Co) area oyster farming companies.  "The overwhelming consesus from those who packed a room in the Surf City Municipal Complex was, while they support local Shellfish farming efforts, more leases will infringe upon popular fishing spots, impeded boating and kayaking access, and affect the viewshed of waterfront properties near the farms." " and most said they are specifically against the water column lease applications of N.Sea. Oyster Co, and Pirate Oysters LLC, raising concerns about the floating equipment used for this type of shellfish farming" (Opponents say Pender shellfish leases will crowd waters | Coastal Review)  Joining us on todays episode of "Fisheries Gone Wild" we have Captain Ray Britian of Springtide guide Service (Topsail Island) and Captian Rennie Clark of Tournament Trail Charters (Wilmington). Both of these guys share a passion for fishing, conservation and want to see a healthy sustanable fishery for years to come.  Listen in as they discuss the effects these water column oyster leases will have on the local community and the impact that can have on all stakeholders ability to access our public trust fisheries resources.  There is a lot to unpack in this episode and both captain Ray and Rennie to a great job explaining the ins and outs of the situiation going on right in their backyard.  Tight lines!

On The Capitol Beach, host Derek Brockbank is joined by Adam Schempp with the Environmental Law Institute and Daniel Govoni with North Carolina Division of Coastal Management to explore federal consistency as established by the Coastal Zone Management Act. Federal consistency is a rare policy that requires the federal government to coordinate with a state before any federal action takes place in that state's coastal zone. Each state, with the approval of NOAA, can establish “enforceable policies” that determine what state rules and regulations can trigger federal consistency. Daniel is a federal consistency coordinator for NC and provides local examples and a state perspective; Adam and ELI have recently released a report entitled, “Strong Enforceable Policies: Examples and Tips”, and provide a national explanation. Further learning on this topic can be done through Digital Coast's learning module on federal consistency.  This podcast gets wonky – which I think we mention 5 or 6 times during the pod! – but provides a great overview of complicated but important coastal policy.

North Carolina Prepares to Implement Strict Voter ID Law, After Partisan State Supreme Court Reverses OpinionToday's Script(Variations occur with audio due to editing for time) Today's Links now below the scriptYou're listening to the American Democracy Minute, keeping YOUR government by and for the people.The showdown between the North Carolina legislature and North Carolina Supreme Court has ended, but now the implementation of strict voter ID laws in the state has begun. The highly restrictive law allows only an unexpired North Carolina driver's license, U. S passport, state voter ID card, or a local or state government-issued ID card.  The state's supreme court struck the law down in 2022 as racially motivated, then a new, highly partisan conservative court reversed that decision.The North Carolina Board of Elections must now implement it before the 2023 municipal races. The Port City Daily reports that the board just completed a public input period during June. One recommended change is an “exception form,” allowing a voter to explain why they don't have the necessary ID, with options including theft or loss of an ID, no access to a birth certificate, no documents due to a disaster, among several accommodations.Other public concerns about the law included defining rules for handling & storage of personal information, deadlines for mail-in ballots around holiday dates, religious exceptions to being photographed, and the curing of ID problems with absentee ballots. The Board endorsed some recommendations on June 26th.The state is offering free non-driver state identification cards through the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles.  We have links on how to apply for one, articles, and more details at AmericanDemocracyMinute.org.  I'm Brian Beihl.Today's LinksArticles & Resources:Brennan Center for Justice - Voter ID Law Struck Down by North Carolina Supreme CourtBrennan Center for Justice - North Carolina Supreme Court Upholds Voter ID Law 5 Months After Striking It DownNorth Carolina State Board of Elections - Overview of NC Voter ID LawNorth Carolina State Board of Elections - 10 Facts About NC's Photo ID Requirement for VotingNC Department of Motor Vehicles -  Non-Driver IDs Port City Daily - Wilmington - State BOE tweaks rules for voter ID law after public inputCarolina Public Press - New voter ID rule in North Carolina sparks worries about fairness for Black and Latino votersGroups Taking Action:Democracy North Carolina, Disability Rights NC, Vote Riders, North Carolina Black Alliance,

A driver's license in North Carolina is a privilege, not a rightIf they took your license for Driving While Impaired (DWI), that's a big deal. You may not realize how valuable that little piece of plastic is until it's taken away. Even with mass transit in Charlotte, getting to work and taking care of your family can be difficult, if not impossible, without a valid driver's license. Frankly, the https://www.carolinaattorneys.com/files/north-carolina-dwi-quick-reference-guide.pdf (NC DWI Laws) are complicated if not confusing, especially to those who have little to no experience dealing with the legal system. People call us on a daily basis asking, "Can I get a Hardship License?" https://youtu.be/JCMWodYjxL8 (Am I eligible for a Limited Privilege?) Whether you call it a Hardship License or Limited Privilege or a "Paper License," the process isn't as straightforward as you may think. The North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles (NCDMV) has a number of rules and regulations in place that govern who is eligible for driving privileges and under what circumstances. https://youtu.be/xB0HMGL0icQ (What happens if I refused to blow? ) There are several different types of Limited Driving Privileges in North Carolina. For example, for just for DWI charges, there are privileges for: https://www.nccourts.gov/assets/documents/forms/cvr10.pdf?a68E14bulfrDR4hoZGRKfpHL_qUVbo8K (LIMITED DRIVING PRIVILEGE PRETRIAL REVOCATION (IMPLIED-CONSENT OFFENSE)) - AOC-CVR-10 https://www.nccourts.gov/assets/documents/forms/cvr11.pdf?xaLv0iFuKsICnvlCprvmTGnZLhPaHpZJ (LIMITED DRIVING PRIVILEGE INDEFINITE PRETRIAL REVOCATION (IMPLIED-CONSENT OFFENSE)) - AOC-CVR-11 https://www.nccourts.gov/assets/documents/forms/cr312-en.pdf?7erJ6ubnMbpp5wCZ4vHv2yhYeE6CHSLs (LIMITED DRIVING PRIVILEGE IMPAIRED DRIVING OR OPEN CONTAINER OR UNDERAGE ALCOHOL VIOLATION (N.C.

56. Mia Ives-Rublee - Accessible Voices “If you are an organization that wants to be extremely open and welcoming to the disability community, you shouldn't go for the bare minimum. You should be attempting to be as accommodating and open as possible because that's going to bring in more talented individuals who are excited about working at your location.” Guest Info: Mia Ives-Rublee is the director for the Disability Justice Initiative at American Progress. Prior to coming to American Progress, she advocated for disability justice and inclusion at nonprofit organizations and businesses across the United States.

Ives-Rublee holds a bachelor's degree in sociology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a master's degree in social work from UNC Chapel Hill.   Favorite Quote: “Need to make sure people with disabilities are at the table when policy is being made." — Mia Ives-Rublee   R.O.G. Takeaway Tips: 1. Policies Does your organization have an employee handbook? If so, what does your employee handbook say about hiring people with disabilities? What does it say about accommodations? How will you learn more about ADA, SSI, SSDI and Medicaid for your disabled employees?   As Mia says, "Make sure people with disabilities are at the table when policy is being made."   2. Accommodations   Does your current process include a question to the candidate about accommodations?  During the interview, how do you inquire about what accommodations may be needed?  Once hired, what accommodations do you offer? What could you offer?  Consider how inclusive the interview, hiring, onboarding and employment processes are and how you can make them even better.

President Biden Thursday night delivered his first primetime address to the nation since taking office and marked one year since the World Health Organization officially declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. The U.S. has come a long way since then in its battle to defeat the virus and return to normalcy. Thanks to Operation Warp Speed, which funded the manufacturing of vaccines at a quicker rate, America is now in the process of its massive vaccine rollout. Executive Director for North Carolina Division of Emergency Management, Mike Sprayberry runs a coronavirus vaccine site in Greenboro, North Carolina. He joins today's 'Rundown' to discuss how Greenboro was selected to be one of the vaccines sites and how successful the process has been. The American Rescue Plan has been signed into law. Democrats say it is much needed relief for Americans struggling through the pandemic. Republicans say it is a "liberal wish list" that is full of waste. Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), explains why he opposed the Covid relief bill and why he thinks its passage will wind up hurting Democrats in 2022 and 2024. Sen. Scott also weighs in on his concerns about "cancel culture" and the controversy surrounding his recent "woke supremacy" remarks. Don't miss the good news with Tonya J. Powers. Plus, commentary by Fox Nation host Tammy Bruce.

During his address the President announced as part of the next phase in battling coronavirus he is directing states to make all adults eligible for the vaccine as early as May 1st. FOX News Washington Correspondent Rachel Sutherland recaps the big takeaways from the President's address with FOX News Radio Political Analyst Josh Kraushaar.

Jared speaks to Mayor Pete Saenz of Laredo, TX about his goals for managing the border in South Texas, and what he needs from Washington, D.C. to keep his city secure.

"For millions of pro-life Missourians, and millions more pro-life and religious conservatives across the country, your administration's effort to compel American taxpayers to fund foreign organizations working to snuff out the lives of unborn children around the world is an affront to their most deeply-held beliefs," Hawley wrote in a letter to Biden.

New data suggests social distancing measures are working to curb the spread of coronavirus – but experts insist now is no time to let up. In this episode: > Today, a team of local health experts said that hospitals across North Carolina are likely to be overwhelmed by COVID-19 patients if the state stops practicing aggressive social distancing policies. However, that scenario is far less likely if the state maintains those policies beyond the end of April, when Gov. Roy Cooper's 30-day stay-at-home order is set to expire. > To stop the spread of coronavirus, the North Carolina Division of Prisons will not accept offenders from county jails and will dramatically reduce the transfers of inmates within state prisons for two weeks, beginning at 6 p.m. on Tuesday. > Today is the last day Durham Public Schools will distribute meals to needy students. Although many families depend on the meals, school officials say they had to shut it down after an employee who was distributing food and instructional materials at Bethesda Elementary School tested positive for the coronavirus. > Starting today, Wake County families living in hotels may be eligible for new financial assistance to pay for housing. Wake Prevent, a program started last year by Wake County’s Housing and Community Revitalization Department, currently helps about 100 households a month cover the cost of housing. Recently, the pandemic has increased the need for housing assistance, especially for those living in hotels.

Arthritis is one of the most common chronic diseases and is the leading cause of disability in the United States. Arthritis has a tremendous impact on the health and well-being of many North Carolinians. The term “arthritis” refers to more than 100 different conditions affecting the joints surrounding connective tissues. These include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, gout, lupus, bursitis, Lyme disease and many others. Most of these conditions are characterized by pain, stiffness and sometimes swelling around joints. According to the 2002 North Carolina Arthritis Report by the North Carolina Division of Health, State Center for Health Statistics, almost a quarter of North Carolinians (24.8%) surveyed reported physician-diagnosed arthritis. This represents more than 2 million adults. North Carolina's arthritis prevalence is one of the highest in the nation.Join host Christine Rogers for a UNC-TV HealthWise special on arthritis.

Americans are living longer than ever as a result of advances in medicine. A byproduct of our successes in this area is an ever-increasing aging population whose health and well-being has never been as significant a national and state issue as it is today. According to a 2003 report from the North Carolina Division of Public Health and the Division of Aging, the state ranks 10th in the nation in the number of older persons, with about 2.3 million residents age 50 and older – that represents 28 percent of the total North Carolina population. The health issues for people age 50 and older range from osteoporosis and Alzheimer's to prescription drug management and eldercare quality. North Carolina Now correspondent Christine Rogers moderates a panel of leading experts to discuss the health issues affecting North Carolina's older population on Healthwise: Senior Health.
