In the small yet vibrant town of Stanley, Daughter of the Stars Theater stands as a shining example of what dedicated community members can achieve with passion and ingenuity. Recently, Janet Michael from The Valley Today had a conversation with key figures from the theater to uncover the latest happenings at this blossoming cultural center. Gina Hilliard, President of the Luray/Page Chamber of Commerce, kicked off the conversation, reflecting on a busy summer involving the state softball tournament. Despite the heat and long hours, the hard work paid off as local teams walked away with impressive titles. This local success story transitioned into the introduction of Patrick Burns, Director of Operations for Daughter of the Stars Theater, who joined the Zoom call along with Colton Wolf, a board member and the theater's Director of Communications. The discussion quickly revealed exciting developments at the theater. Patrick shared significant strides forward since the theater's last appearance on the show in May 2024, including the addition of functional bathrooms and the beginning of an ambitious new project: an in-house restaurant called Nighthawks, modeled after the iconic Edward Hopper painting. The restaurant aims to elevate the theater-going experience, providing a seamless blend of dining and entertainment. Not stopping at infrastructural improvements, Patrick announced the theater's first major grant-funded program: a cigar box guitar summer camp for middle schoolers, aimed at immersing youths in local Appalachian culture by building and playing their own instruments. This initiative aligns perfectly with the theater's mission to engage, educate, and inspire its audience, as he emphasized the importance of hands-on learning and cultural preservation. Patrick highlighted the educational and communal aspects of the theater's YouTube presence, which features videos about notable historical events, such as the Shenandoah Valley's pivotal role in the 1944 Normandy Invasion. These videos, gaining significant traction online, underscore the theater's broader mission to make local history accessible and engaging. Expanding on the theater's multifaceted role in the community, Colton spoke to the unique challenges and rewards of connecting Stanley's middle schoolers with rich cultural experiences often overlooked by larger organizations. This commitment to serving a demographic often left out of educational programs further highlights the theater's inclusive and forward-thinking approach. Engagement wasn't just limited to the theater's internal activities. Gina and Janet further discussed the numerous benefits of being a chamber member, emphasizing how connections and community involvement can accelerate local businesses' growth. The Luray/Page Chamber extends support in various forms, from marketing assistance to grant endorsement letters, aiding endeavors like Patrick's theater expansion. The conversation concluded with a reminder of the many resources available to small business owners in Stanley. Upcoming Chamber events like the Women in Business social and various educational seminars were promoted, illustrating the community's vibrant and supportive business environment. In wrapping up, Hilliard and the theater representatives reiterated their commitment to fostering a thriving local culture through persistent community engagement and innovative programs. The Daughter of the Stars Theater continues its journey as more than just a place for shows; it stands as a dynamic cultural hub that encourages learning, creativity, and community spirit.

In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw and Dr. Stewart Hilliard discuss: The influence of European sport dogs in early North American working dog training. Benefits and challenges of introducing KNPV-trained dogs to the American market. Evolution of Eastern European working dog trade.  Sourcing and importing working dogs. Institutional breeding programs, increased costs, and decreased quality. The future of dog training with kynology.   Key Takeaways: KNPV (Royal Dutch Police Dog Association) dogs were the gold standard for transitioning sport dogs to dual-purpose police dog prospects.  KNPV dogs were not trained to distinguish between equipment and humans, which gave those early Malinois dogs a bad reputation. Dogs that come from a deprived background with limited experiences often need to be deprogrammed before they can be taught to forget, then taught to learn what they need to know. Don't kill your dog by playing with it. The dog's reward is not a toy; it's a reward. Toy implies play, and these are working dogs. Malinois and German Shepherd dogs are not fully adult dogs until 2.5-3. Younger dogs are more vulnerable to mistakes and stress, leaving you, as the trainer, with the technical burden of not making many mistakes.   "I think the future is going to be agency-based breeding, heavily informed by scientific practice, but also with strong participation of practitioners - practical dog people who know how to produce results. Those are the agencies that are going to do really well." —  Dr. Stewart Hilliard   Contact Stewart:  Website: https://www.caninetrainingsystems.com/  Book:  Schutzhund, Theory and Training Methods - A Book by Susan Barwig and Stewart Hilliard, Ph.D. - https://www.caninetrainingsystems.com/product/B-SCH-BAR/Schutzhund-Theory-and-Training-Methods-A-Book-by-Susan-Barwig-and-Stewart-Hilliard-PhD    Get Jerry's book Controlled Aggression on Amazon.com   Contact Jerry: Website: controlledaggressionpodcast.com Email: JBradshaw@TarheelCanine.com Tarheel Canine Training: www.tarheelcanine.com YouTube:  tarheelcanine Twitter: @tarheelcanine Instagram: @tarheelk9 Facebook: TarheelCanineTraining Protection Sports Website: psak9-as.org Patreon: patreon.com/controlledaggression Slideshare: Tarheel Canine Calendly: https://calendly.com/tarheelcanine  Tarheel Canine Seminars: https://streetreadyk9.com/  Tarheel Canine Student Portal: https://tcstudentportal.com/    Sponsors:  ALM K9 Equipment: almk9equipment.com PSA & American Schutzhund: psak9-as.org Tarheel Canine: tarheelcanine.com The Drive Company: https://thedriveco.com/  The Drive Company Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedrive.co    Find out more about Hold The Line Conference 2024 at https://htlk9.com/    Train hard, train smart, be safe.   Show notes by Podcastologist Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

His career change was complete after he earned a spot in the prestigious Warner Bros Television Writers' Workshop, and went on to write & produce for the first season of THE FLASH, the final season of COBRA KAI, and all 6 seasons of LUCIFER.When he's not hustling for his next staff job or developing his own shows & original comic books, Chris can be found doing hard labor (renovations & yard work) for his Valley home and enjoying life with his Brazilian wife and her two Portuguese-meowing cats.Another dope episode!Subscribe, like, follow, share & 5-star review!Our Motto: “Keep it GAME all day!WWW.SCREENWRITERSRANTROOM.COMFor information, Merch (NEW T-SHIRTS/HOODIES), and all things Rant Room!https://screenwriters-rant-room.printify.me/productsEMAIL:ScreenwritersRantRoom@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Hilliard Guess on all social media@Hilliardguess, bsky.socialIG: @ScreenwritersRantRoomGuests:@Chrisrafferty@Worrell_dwainWE ARE NOW OPEN TO SPONSORSHIPS AND BRANDING OPPORTUNITIES⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ :Screenwritersrantroom@gmail.com

The CRUX: True Survival Stories

On December 20th, 1980, 19-year-old Jean Hilliard experienced what doctors call medically impossible. After her car slid off an icy road in rural Minnesota during a blizzard with temperatures at -22°F, Jean made the difficult decision to walk two miles through whiteout conditions to reach her friend Wally Nelson's farmhouse. Dressed only in cowboy boots and a winter coat, she battled brutal winds and life-threatening cold for over an hour. In a cruel twist of fate, Jean collapsed just 15 feet from Wally's front door, where she lay face-down in the snow for six hours. When Wally found her the next morning, she was frozen solid - literally crystallized, with her body rigid as a board and her skin hard as stone. Hospital staff initially thought he was bringing them a corpse, as her body temperature was too low to register on their thermometers and they couldn't find a pulse or blood pressure.

Husband-and-wife music duo, Kenny and Claire Hilliard both grew up in the upstate of South Carolina before God took them the long way around to finally settle in Nashville, TN.  In 2015, during Kenny's tenure as a senior pastor and worship leader in Asheville, North Carolina, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Shortly after successful surgery to remove the tumor, Kenny received a second diagnosis, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome—a degenerative genetic disease that left him temporarily impaired. The couple embraced a return to music during Kenny's recovery, founding a music teaching studio and penning modern hymns for their home congregation. Kenny and Claire also share some of their travel experiences from being on the road six months of the year touring with their 3 kids in an RV across the country. This special couple is honest about the struggles they've endured and continue giving God glory via their music through it all.
