I’m really Jamie Clark looking forward to the Tour de Shore (will be 3rd time) and the Covered Bridge Classic (also 3rd). 2 In Memory Of William Henry “Bill” Nuckols, Jr. April 23, 1941—March 15, 2021 William Henry ("Bill") Nuckols, Jr., of Newport News, died March 15, 2021, after living with Parkinson's Disease for 20+ years. Bill joined the Peninsula Bicycling Association in the early 1980s, an he was a PBA past president and Life- long Member #3. Bill did so much for PBA. He was a fre- quent ride leader, organizer and advocate, holder of various offices, frequent committee and board member, and chief marker of roads for PBA events for many years. Bill, along with Dave Wilson, worked many hours in the late 80s and early 90s with all the Peninsula city and county planning commissions to rework the random and few signed bike routes into a connected system of bike routes to help people navigate the Peninsula by bike. Bill did in the bike club what he did in life. He brought peo- ple together with his quiet charm, an engaging smile, and a kindness that appeared to have no bounds. While on a group ride, he met Stuart Fielding and introduced him to his daughter Patricia, essentially handpicking his son-in-law. Their happy marriage proves that Bill was a good match- maker. Bill only stopped cycling recently when his health dictated his biking retirement. Bill is survived by his wife Molly; his daughter Patricia Fielding and her husband Stuart; his son William H. Nuckols III and his wife Cecelia; and grandchildren Kevin Weber, James Fielding, Bradley Fielding, and Ava Nuckols. The family suggests that memorial donations be made to WHRO.org to honor Bill's love of NPR. A celebration of life will be held later in the year.

  • 4. Natural and Cultural Resources
    NATURAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES 4. Natural and Cultural Resources Washington County is rich with natural and historic resources that represent a strong community identity. These scenic features not only contribute to the environmental health and quality of life for Washington County residents, they are tourism assets. The natural environment often dictates how we use land. Development potential for land is dependent on many physical characteristics. Soil conditions, slopes, flood frequency and wetlands all affect where development can safely and feasibly occur. These and other environmentally sensitive features, such as surface water, ground water and air quality, should be given consideration in the planning process. The history of Washington County is important, and awareness and preservation of historical assets is an important activity to continue in the furure. Our historic and cultural resources attract visitors to our area, provide us a touchstone to our past and contribute to the sense of place that makes Washington County a special place to live. Since natural and cultural resources may be affected by future growth and development, it is important to consider these assets when planning the future of Washington County. Supp. No. 14 CP4:59 WASHINGTON COUNTY CODE Natural Resources Physical Geography The majority of Washington County land (95%) lies in the Valley and Ridge physiographic province of Virginia. The Whitetop Mountain area (approximately 5%) in the extreme southeastern corner of the county lies in the Blue Ridge physiographic province. The county consists of a broad valley which extend in a northeast to southwest direction. The valley is bordered by the dominant ridges of Clinch Mountain on the northwest and Iron Mountain on the southeast.

Roe B.A., Morehead State University M.A., Appalachian State University Chairperson: Wayne Williams Since the 1980s numerous abandoned railbeds have been converted to multi-use trails across the United States. These trails are commonly referred to as “rail-trails.” They accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists most frequently but may also be used for a wide range of non-motorized traffic. Rail-trails preserve cultural heritage and wildlife corridors that benefit local economies by promoting small businesses and tourism while providing a safe and enjoyable means of active recreation and transportation. Because of the subtle grade of former railbeds, rail-trails commonly provide a gentle slope that allows access to users with a wide range of physical ability.
