Podcast appearances and mentions of Katie Fallon

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia.   Today is Sunday, March 9, 2025. A childhood love of birds leads to a lifelong career for the founder of a Cheat Lake conservation center…attention, small businesses--learn how you can get grant funding for trade expansion or energy efficiency…and a University of Charleston program is helping students earn degrees debt-free…on today's daily304.   #1 – From MORGANTOWN MAGAZINE – The first word that Katie Fallon spoke was “bird.” So it's fitting that she now finds herself writing books about birds and leading an organization committed to rehabbing some of the biggest birds around.  She and her veterinarian husband, Jesse Fallon, first came to Morgantown as grad students.  Her two nonfiction books—Cerulean Blues and Vulture—illuminate the plights of the region's bird populations and paint a vivid picture of the ecosystems around them.  In 2012, along with her husband and a group of like-minded friends, Katie Fallon put her passion for birds into action, co-founding the Avian Conservation Center of Appalachia.  Nestled at Cheat Lake Animal Hospital and Ridge Way Farm, the ACCA has become a vital resource for bird conservation, and its non-releasable birds of prey serve as ambassadors, captivating audiences through educational programming.

The Energy & Manufacturing in Appalachia initiative supports small and medium-sized manufacturers in eligible counties to expand business, production and jobs in energy supply chains while reducing costs through factory efficiencies. Additionally, the West Virginia Department of Economic Development has secured extra funding from the U.S. Small Business Administration's State Trade Expansion Program to assist small businesses with export promotion costs. More information about the STEP Grant is available at westvirginia.gov. Information about clean energy initiatives can be found at cleanenergy.mfgsupplychain.org.

Like others, he and his family had concerns about the cost of getting his nursing degree. To help students like Lowe achieve their goals without amassing debt, the University of Charleston launched UC Works in February 2024 in collaboration with WorkForce WV and other business partners. The program provides eligible West Virginia students with a combination of institutional, state, and federal aid programs to cover their UC undergraduate tuition and mandatory fees. It then matches those students with a local employer for part-time paid employment during their enrollment. Today, Michael and eight other UC students are completing their first year of college without worrying about finances.  Read more: https://www.ucwv.edu/2025/02/uc-works-program-helping-students-earn-degrees-debt-free/   Find these stories and more at wv.gov/daily304.

America's housing crisis is rapidly getting worse. Across the U.S., it's estimated there's a shortage of 4 to 7 million affordable housing units. Both renters and buyers are faced with uncertainty while navigating the unbalanced market. Renters typically need to meet stringent requirements, including making at least three times the monthly rent. Meanwhile, people wanting to purchase a home have a limited selection of housing options due to low housing inventory and high home prices. Research suggests the struggle to maintain stable housing can take a toll on one's mental and emotional health. Many people experience heightened anxiety, depression or other mental health issues. For “Closer Look's” third national PRX show, host Rose Scott explores the mental health consequences of housing instability and possible solutions.Guest include:Katie Fallon, a principal policy associate in the Research to Action Lab at the Urban InstituteCheryl Carter, the executive director of Home Strech Tawana Thompson, a participant in the Home Strech supportive housing program CJ Stewart, co-founder of the Atlanta-based LEAD Center for YouthShanquita Tate, a Georgia resident who shares details about the challenges she and her husband are facing in the housing marketAdan Bean, a spoken word artist who centers experiences of people who are experiencing homelessness See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Farmers Guardian's livestock reporter Katie Fallon talks with the UK's Chief Veterinary Officer, Christine Middlemiss following the lifting of mandatory housing measures placed on bird keepers in England to prevent Avian Influenza. With the virus over-summering for first time ever across Europe and the UK, it created an unprecedented situation with over 330 cases recorded since October 2021. While housing measures have been lifted, the risk of infection still remains and biosecurity within both large commercial sites and small backyard flocks is key to preventing further outbreaks. Both industry and government are keeping a close eye on the status of the virus over the coming months, as ongoing spread and infection could potentially lead to the Avian Influenza becoming endemic within the UK's bird population.

Despite being one of the most ubiquitous birds in the Americas, the poor Turkey Vulture is saddled with a mixed reputation. Sure, they look weird and eat dead things, but vultures are more than just nature's garbagemen.

She joins host Nate Swick to talk about her hands-ons experience with these amazing birds.  Also, the distant Rio Grande Valley Bird Festival is this week!
