Part 1 - Host Neville James opens the program by paying tribute to late Virgin Islands cultural icon Bradley Christian, recognizing his lifelong contributions to preserving quelbe music, quadrille dancing, traditional dress, and Virgin Islands heritage before the National Weather Service provided updates on Saharan dust, heat advisories, drought conditions, marine safety, and tropical weather activity affecting Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. James then welcomes listeners, including Arthur Solomon as they reflect on discussions about the costs of constructing new schools, long-term maintenance concerns, and the territory’s investment in public infrastructure, government spending, accountability, and the challenges of maintaining new public facilities.
