The James Exchange is about the people that live in and around Scottsville, Virginia. thejamesriverexchange.substack.com Fri, 09 Oct 2026 04:13:10 +0000 https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/138671049/024c9a09bd51fcf325640797ae16822c.mp3 Welcome to the James Exchange, I am Nancy Gill your host. In today’s episode, I had a conversation with the newly hired Scottsville town clerk, Melodye Courter. A few tidbits:In Tuesday’s Scottsville special election, Aileen Morse garnered 115 votes. A little side note, we haven’t had participation on this level since 2008. I will surmise that the uptick is from the General Assembly moving all Virginia elections to November. Scottsville residents have their own ballot. Alex Bessette failed to get his name on the ballot, so there were 90+ write-in votes. According to the Albemarle County election office, they have to be counted by Tuesday. When I know if Councilor Bessette prevailed in keeping his seat, I will let you know.

I am your host, Nancy Gill. For those 65 or older, it is Medicare Enrollment period which runs through December 7th. With this in mind, I recently sat down with Kimberly and John Flick who filled me in on a lot of things I was not aware of. We discussed Medicare, prescription drug plans, Cancer-Stroke-Heart Attack plans, Dental plans, Long Term Care Plans, and the three different types of life insurance. This episode runs about thirty minutes, but it is filled with information that we can all use. So, settle down and listen to the information and advice the Flicks have to share. Any agent well versed in the varieties of insurance and financial products will be available from any.

In today’s episode, yes it is true! This is not one of those Scottsville “rumors”. And, if it is circulating as so, then my line “In Scottsville, if it’s a rumor, it must be true” is true. Anyway, I had a conversation with Greg Dorazio of Dorazio Communications on his bringing back the Scottsville Monthly.
