There are many fun, wonderful opportunities to learn about White House history all across the country. Stewart McLaurin, president of the White House Historical Association, takes a road trip to the outskirts of Williamsburg, Virginia, to see what has become a social media hotspot: the Presidents Heads. Situated within a recycling facility on private property is a collection of 42 massive, decaying statues featuring the likenesses of U.S. presidents from George Washington through George W. Bush. Each statue is made of concrete and steel, averaging 15 feet in height, and weighing approximately 1.5 tons. They were rescued from a bankrupt outdoor museum called Presidents Park. When the park closed over a decade ago, the land was sold and the statues were set to be destroyed. Local businessman Howard Hankins was hired to do the job but he just couldn't bring himself to destroy the statues, so he transported them about 11 miles down the road to his property. Howard has allowed history buffs and photographers John Plashal and Fred Schneider to host organized tours several times a year where people can buy tickets to visit the statues (which cannot be seen from the road, so showing up unannounced is discouraged and considered trespassing). Stewart met John and Fred on one of their tours, and also encountered a few excited visitors. Come along for a ride and learn more about this remarkable piece of Americana.

In a pivotal episode of 'The Valley Today,' host Janet Michael engaged in a comprehensive discussion with Chris Rucker, the Chief Administrative Officer for Valley Health. Set against the backdrop of growing concerns about the future of Medicaid, this conversation sheds light on the complexities and critical significance of this crucial health program. Janet begins by highlighting the urgent need for clarity on Medicaid, expressing concern that many people do not fully grasp the implications of the proposed legislative changes. She sets the stage for Chris to dispel misconceptions about Medicaid and its impact on various populations. Chris explains that Medicaid is a combined federal and state health insurance program designed for the most vulnerable populations, including disabled individuals, pregnant women, children, the elderly, and indigent adults. His emphasis on the multifaceted nature of Medicaid brings into focus the widespread dependence on this safety net, particularly for those who do not have other means to afford healthcare. The conversation delves into the perceptions versus the realities of Medicaid. Chris highlights the misconception that Medicaid is a financial burden primarily because it doesn't impact everyone directly. He stresses that healthcare providers like Valley Health view Medicaid as essential, not only for the individuals it directly serves but for the overall health of the community. The dialogue explores how Medicaid operates, benefiting the community through services such as well-child visits, immunizations, and care for chronic diseases. Chris underscores that a significant portion of Medicaid's beneficiaries are children and elderly individuals, forming the backbone of the program's demographic. Janet and Chris discuss the unique challenges faced by rural healthcare providers. Chris identifies the difficulties in recruiting and retaining healthcare professionals in rural areas and the increased costs associated with providing care in these regions. He uses examples from communities like Warren Memorial Hospital to illustrate the broader impact on rural health infrastructure. A critical part of their discussion tackles the financial aspects of Medicaid reimbursements and the reality that hospitals often don't receive full compensation for the care they provide. Chris sheds light on the fact that federal mandates require hospitals to treat all patients, regardless of their ability to pay, yet the reimbursements from Medicare and Medicaid often fall short of covering the full cost of care. The non-profit status of Valley Health is another focal point. Chris clarifies that as a non-profit organization, Valley Health reinvests its profits back into the community to support healthcare for uninsured individuals and address unmet health needs, illustrating the broader economic and social mission of non-profit healthcare systems. Janet points out the advocacy role that Valley Health plays in communicating with elected officials about the impacts of Medicaid cuts. While both state senators are responsive and aware of the issues, Chris expresses concern that not all representatives may grasp the full repercussions of such legislative changes. Looking at potential outcomes, Chris fears that cuts to Medicaid will lead to increased healthcare costs, as individuals without coverage will end up seeking more expensive emergency care. He emphasizes the ripple effect, where the loss of Medicaid funding could lead to job losses and a significant economic downturn in communities that depend on healthcare jobs. Chris makes a compelling case for the importance of Medicaid as a fundamental right, akin to access to food, water, and shelter. Both Janet and Chris advocate for public engagement, urging listeners to contact their legislators to oppose Medicaid cuts and preserve healthcare access for vulnerable populations. In conclusion, the article underscores the urgency of safeguarding Medicaid. Chris Rucker's insights provide a sobering look at the potential impacts of proposed cuts, emphasizing the intertwined nature of healthcare and community well-being. The conversation highlights the critical need for informed advocacy and public action to ensure that healthcare systems like Valley Health can continue to serve and protect their communities.

Ferrol ha encarado el fin de semana con dos incidentes significativos que ponen el foco en el estado de sus infraestructuras y la seguridad de sus trabajadores. Un importante socavón en la calle Rubalcava y la agresión a un operario de Urbaser mientras realizaba su trabajo han copado la atención del Concejal de Servicios, José Tomé. Un nuevo socavón abre una brecha en Rubalcava El centro de Ferrol amanecía este viernes con un preocupante hundimiento en la calzada de adoquín de la calle Rubalcava, entre Magdalena y Real. La Policía Local procedió de inmediato a acordonar la zona y cortar el tráfico. Hasta el lugar se desplazaron técnicos de Emafesa para evaluar la magnitud de los daños y coordinar las labores de reparación. El incidente cobra especial relevancia al haberse producido en un tramo donde, hace apenas dos meses, se realizaron trabajos en las redes de aguas residuales y suministro de agua potable, actuaciones que ya habían obligado a cerrar la calle al tráfico durante más de una semana. El Concello de Ferrol cuenta con un proyecto de reurbanización de la calle Rubalcava, con una primera fase de más de un millón de euros. Sin embargo, el tramo afectado por este último hundimiento no está incluido en esta fase inicial, quedando reservado para una segunda etapa aún sin fecha definida. A la preocupación por las infraestructuras se suma la indignación por la agresión sufrida por un operario de la empresa Urbaser en la madrugada del pasado sábado. El trabajador, de 52 años, fue agredido mientras realizaba sus labores de recogida de residuos en la calle Vilarrube, alrededor de las 03:00 horas.Según los primeros datos, un vecino de Narón de 38 años se acercó al operario y lo golpeó sin mediar palabra, provocándole una caída y un fuerte golpe en la cabeza. El trabajador permanece ingresado en la UCI del Chuac de A Coruña con pronóstico grave, aunque estable, debido a diversos golpes y contusiones. El presunto agresor fue detenido una hora después por la Policía Local y, tras pasar a disposición judicial, ha quedado en libertad, aunque está siendo investigado por un delito de agresión. Tanto el gobierno municipal de Ferrol como el comité de empresa de Urbaser han condenado enérgicamente los hechos, expresando su apoyo a la víctima y exigiendo que "todo el peso de la ley caiga sobre el agresor". Este incidente subraya la vulnerabilidad de los trabajadores de servicios esenciales y la necesidad de garantizar su seguridad en el desempeño de sus funciones.

Where in the world am I? Brazil planning Hi there. I'm Dr. Mary Travelbest, returning from a recent trip to Asia. I'm in San Diego now, sharing my best travel ideas and working on another book for you to enjoy: 5 Steps to Solo Travel, Part C. I'm about to launch on a 90-day trip around the world. Listener Story Spotlight I want to tell you about a listener named Juliana who is from Brazil. She was a student of mine and now she works with me. She gave me a list of all the places in Brazil that I should be going to.She and I have known each other for 3 years. She's so beautiful and full of life. I'm so grateful for. Quick fire FAQ: The FAQ for today is: Should I carry books with me to read on the trip? I recommend you download them from your local or cloud library. Then you read on the go. Don't carry more than you need. 3 things: neighborhood selection, daylight itineraries, scam avoidance Select neighborhoods that are walkable and have public transportation nearby if you don't drive. Read reviews on the AirBNB website before you select. When booking a flight or train, be sure it arrives at a daylight time, which can differ in winter months. If it comes after dark, it will be more of a challenge for you. To avoid scams, be cautious when choosing passwords, logging out of websites, and making online purchases. These are very typical scams. If you are suspicious, you may be right to avoid that vendor and choose another. Don't look like a target, either Today's destination is: Brazil. Optimized for a budget‑minded solo woman in her 60s who loves beaches, nature, and a relaxed—but organized—pace.

Maybe you want to travel because you never saw these places while you raised your children and supported the family. You may want to visit where you were born and want to do it on your own. You may want to lie on a beach in Tahiti and have a long nap. How does one get to do this? We will help you with instruction, guidance, and good stories. This book must be published now because 14.8% of women are over 65, and most outlive their spouses. Another large chunk of women are in their 50s and early 60s and have years of activity to go. Plus, there are 38 million members of AARP, many looking for active choices on how they live and travel. Gone are the days of your travel agent booking your paper airline ticket. You will not likely contact a travel agent for your trip. The more we understand others and their cultures, the more we can get along with them. Dr. Mary Travelbest is like Rick Steves for Women adventure travelers who are seasoned in years but have yet to gain travel experience. My daughter, my co-author, Tina, and I have been traveling since she was born 22 years ago. She's also made many solo trips, including visiting her sister in China for a month this year. She's completed her degree in Business, working on a Master's degree, and living/working in the San Francisco area. This book needs to be published so the Golden Years can be just that for those who like active travel. The take away mantra is to go and find peace where you rest and bring good to others You can travel solo and never be alone. Dr. Travelbest.
A summary of the news from this past week in Northfield, Minnesota and the Minnesota Minute from MNN.
The number of patients treated at Ennis' Local Injury Unit has increased for the second consecutive year. New HSE figures show 16,037 people attended the county town's LIU in 2024. It's a marginal 5% rise on the numbers seen there the previous year, with over 1,300 patients now coming through the Ennis Local Injury Unit each month. HSE Regional Health Forum West member Councillor Rita McInerney says it clearly illustrates the need for an Emergency Department in the town.

In this episode, we sit down with Victoria Litman, M.Div., J.D., LL.M., to discuss why the future of psychedelic access in the United States is being shaped not by federal agencies, but by the bold actions of individual states. As a legal scholar and writer focusing on drug policy, Victoria breaks down the significance of the FDA's 2024 rejection of psychedelic-assisted therapy, and why that decision might be less of a setback than it seems. We explore how state-level initiatives like Oregon's Psilocybin Services Act and Colorado's Natural Medicine Health Act are setting the stage for a new model of access—one rooted in harm reduction, personal liberty, and existing regulatory infrastructure. Victoria discusses the importance of the Tenth Amendment and the Anti-Commandeering Doctrine, which allow states to move forward regardless of federal inaction. Rather than waiting for slow-moving federal institutions, Victoria argues that states can build safe, scalable systems now—especially by leveraging cannabis infrastructure for psychedelic regulation. She also touches on the ethical and cultural implications of this transition, including protections for spiritual and religious use. If you're wondering what psychedelic policy will look like in the years ahead, this episode offers an insightful and hopeful roadmap. Link to CATO article
