Virginia Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling announces that he plans to lose 30 pounds by the end of the year. “One of the focuses of our office has been health care and trying to look for ways to promote a healthier Virginia.”
In that spirit, Bolling has announced a program called “Steptemper” to encourage Virginians to become more physically active in the next month. He tells Coy Barefoot on the August 30th edition of WINA’s Charlottesville–Right Now just how he hopes to meet his own fitness goals.
Coy Barefoot continues his look into the fall-out from the Albemarle High School bombing plot with a conversation with ACLU lawyer Rebecca Glenberg. Glenberg phones the program from Richmond and says the Constitution seems unclear when dealing with the legal rights children have while being questioned by police.
“There are no statutes in Virginia that specifically govern the rights of kids when they’re being interrogated,” Glenberg says. She suggests the General Assembly take up the matter when they meet for next year’s session.
“It would be very helpful to have a statute that clarifies when parents must be present during interrogations, when juveniles can be interrogated without parents, who can request an attorney for a juvenile.”
U.Va astronomer Ed Murphy drops by WINA to talk with Coy Barefoot for his regular update on space and the solar system. Ed explains the International Astronomical Union’s decision last week to reclassify Pluto as a dwarf planet. Pluto lacks the mass to “clear out its neighborhood” and is no longer considered to be a full planet. Ed gives his opinion on this, and also gives an update on the two Voyager probes and the Pluto Express mission.
Charlottesville Daily Progress columnist Bob Gibson joins Coy Barefoot for his weekly round-up on Virginia politics. Bob has the latest news on the fall-out from Senator George Allen’s “macaca” comment. Democratic challenger Jim Webb now has a slight edge in the polls, and many pundits including Bob say the gaffe hurts Allen’s chances to run for national office. Bob and Coy also talk about the General Assembly’s upcoming special session to deal with transportation issues, set for September 27th.

Albemarle County Commonwealth Attorney Jim Camblos joins Jay James and Jane Foy on the August 25th edition of the WINA Morning Show to discuss the recent Albemarle County High School bombing conspiracy. One of the four juvenile defendants in the case was acquitted last week, but the other three have been found guilty of charges to blow up the school.
Camblos says he can’t talk about much of the case, because other appeals are still pending. He says the media is misconstruing the way in which some of the defendants were questioned by police, and takes this opportunity to give his office’s point of view.
“This was a conspiracy that was caught in its very early stages,” says Camblos. He also defends the way in which Darby Lowe prosecuted the case in court.

The two legislators who represent Charlottesville and Albemarle County in the Virginia House of Delegates come from opposite sides of the aisle.
