In this episode of the Valley Today, host Janet Michael speaks with Niki Foster from the Front Royal-Warren County Chamber of Commerce. The conversation covers a wide range of topics including the significance of Small Shop Saturday, upcoming events, and the importance of supporting local businesses. The discussion begins with a lighthearted exchange about recording on Black Friday and the chilly weather outside. Janet and Niki commend each other for not partaking in the Black Friday madness, instead choosing to support local businesses on Small Shop Saturday. They then transition into the main subject of the upcoming events organized by the Chamber of Commerce. One such event is 'Coffee and Conversation,' which has been running since July and has quickly become a community favorite. It offers informative yet casual meet-ups where attendees can interact with local officials and learn more about the community. Niki shares her excitement for the December 6th event featuring leaders from Warren County Fire and Rescue Services. The conversation also delves into the upcoming Christmas Parade, scheduled for December 7th. Niki emphasizes the importance of timely registration and outlines the logistical challenges of organizing such a large event. Janet also humorously remarks on the ridiculousness of last-minute entries trying to be part of the parade. Following that, they discuss the 'Merry Market,' which will have 48 vendors offering unique, locally-made products. Janet and Niki underscore the value of shopping local not only during the holidays but throughout the year. They mention how buying locally-made products keeps money within the community and helps small businesses thrive. Niki details the various activities happening downtown on parade day, including carriage rides, Christmas classics at Royal Cinemas, and special events at local businesses like Stone Branch Center for the Arts and Artsy. There will also be food trucks and musical performances, making it a full-day event for the community to enjoy. Wrapping up the conversation, Janet and Niki talk about an upcoming Business After Hours event at Royal Cinemas, where donations will be collected for the foster care program. The event will conclude with a free screening of 'It's a Wonderful Life,' making it a festive occasion for networking and holiday cheer.
Happy 200th birthday, Scottish Fire and Rescue Services!!! I'm a bit late to the party. Still, I've done my best to celebrate your anniversary in the best way I can - by giving homage to the amazing fire safety engineering and firefighting that came out of Edinburgh and your founder, James Braidwood. In this episode, we tap into the secrets of early fire safety measures and discover the fascinating history of firefighting with our guest, Michał Stachowicz, a dedicated Scottish firefighter. We promise you'll gain a newfound appreciation for the roots of fire engineering, which surprisingly predate the establishment of professional firefighting. From the early codifications of the 1400s to the impactful Great Fire of London in 1666, this episode is brimming with riveting tales and historical insights into the evolution of fire protection in the UK.We take a journey through time as we contrast the altruism of today's firefighters with the profit-driven origins of fire protection, shaped significantly by insurance companies. Learn about the preventative measures that were set in place long before formal fire services existed, including the fascinating use of historical firewalls in cities like Copenhagen. We also explore the pioneering efforts of James Braidwood, whose revolutionary work in risk management and fire prevention set the stage for organised firefighting in Edinburgh and London during the 19th century.Join us as we honour Braidwood's legacy and his transformative impact on fire safety regulations and practices. From his groundbreaking techniques, such as early personal protective equipment and strategic fire station placements, to his radical ideas on fire spread prevention, Braidwood's forward-thinking approach remains influential. Despite facing financial hurdles and limited cooperation, his vision for a unified fire service prevailed, underscoring the enduring significance of his contributions. Michał Stachowicz helps us celebrate the indelible mark Braidwood left on the firefighting community, offering a compelling narrative for history enthusiasts and fire safety advocates alike.Read more about Braidwood in this memoir book: Fire Prevention and Extinction by James Braidwood.Visit the Museum of Scottish Fire HeritageLearn about the Great Fire of Edinburgh Cover image: One of Edinburgh's first fire engines from 1824, By Kim Traynor - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=19965754----The Fire Science Show is produced by the Fire Science Media in collaboration with OFR Consultants.

A report published this week by HM Inspectorate of Constabulary, Fire and Rescue Services confirms that police actions such as ‘taking the knee' or wearing rainbow lanyards are causing confusion amongst police officers and undermining public confidence. The review also suggested that police officers have been recording trivial matters such as non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs) because of worries about getting into trouble. We briefly touch on an article by Labour MP Graham Stringer in The Sun that highlights how the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act has shocked MPs of all political stripes before moving on to the murky world of government statistics. The Times reported this week that 2021 census figures claiming there are 262,000 transgender people in England and Wales have had to be formally downgraded. The Office for National Statistics admitted that there was “potential for bias” in answers to the question: “Is the gender you identify with the same as your sex registered at birth?”. Yet, as we discuss in the episode, reliable statistics are the essential building block for informing public debate, especially when the underlying issue is so culturally taboo that there are repeated attempts to shut down debate. Finally for this week, we dip into an excellent article by Greg Lukianoff in Quillette. He lays out twelve assertions that are frequently made against free expression before marshalling the counterarguments to demonstrate why each of them is flawed. ‘That's Debatable!' is edited by Jason Clift.
The tragic death of a 17-year old UBC student from Ontario in Lynn Canyon on Sunday renewed calls for exercising caution, especially when you don't know the terrain. We speak with Dwayne Derban, assistant fire chief of the District of North Vancouver District Fire and Rescue Services about what happened, and what students and parents need to know. Then, Canada has imposed a 100 per cent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles. We're joined by Werner Antweiler, associate professor, UBC.'s Sauder School of Business, to discuss the economic and political ramifications.Finally, a new TD Bank survey finds most parents are financially supporting their kids in post-secondary — and while students say they have a budget, many wish they knew more about financial planning. Meranda Hamilton, senior manager of youth and student banking at TD Bank, and Murray Baker, Manager of financial empowerment at the Family Services of Greater Vancouver, join host Michelle Eliot to talk about these issues.

Be sure and join us with our special guest, FDNY Veteran Captain Russell Vomero of Rescue Company 5. Appointed to the FDNY in August 1979, assigned to Engine 10 on Water Street.Engine 10 and Ladder 15 were housed together. Spent my first year on Water Street before moving to Liberty Street across from WTC. In August 1981, I was transferred to Ladder 149 (Castle on the Hill) in Dyker Heights. It was one of the last companies I put on my transfer, and I knew nothing about it. Two of the officers in Engine 10 had been fireman there and said it was a great house. The job of being a firefighter started there. Did not do a lot of work but had a great lieutenant in Steve King. I cut my first roof in Ladder 149, made my first grab, and had my first Rescue sucks encounter. In 1984, it was announced that a new Rescue would be put into service on Staten Island. Rescue 5 had been in service previously on Staten Island but was disbanded. I saw this as an opportunity and put in my transfer. I got to Rescue 5 in August 1984, and was now amongst some great guys who still wanted to work. Steve Casani and Jack Pritchard were the officers I worked with most, and I learned so much. I was studying, and in May 1986, I took the lieutenants test and did terribly in relation to everyone else. A short time after the test, it was reported that there had been cheating. Sometime in the fall, a 2nd test was announced. In October 1987, I was promoted to lieutenant and assigned to the 7th battalion in the 3rd division. The first vacation spot I covered was Ladder 21. Rescue 1's quarters were being rebuilt, so they were being housed with Engine 34 and Ladder 21. It is where I started to meet some of the guys from 1. My first fire was in Ladder 21, and Captain Kennedy kicked me out of the elevator in Ladder 4. Vinny Dunn became my savior. In May 1988, I covered my first spot as a rescue officer in R-3, which was almost the beginning and end of my career as a rescue officer. I stayed covering in Rescue Services then SOC for the next six years. There was a lot of chatter on who would be the officers transferred into SOC.had the opportunity to work in every area of NYC. Then, after Tommy Williams died in 1992,I was given R4 UFO. Going to SOC Captain when a lieutenant spot opened did not go well. I had no plan to study for Captain; however, six months before the Captains test I was told I would be doing a UFO spot in Marine 1. It was our penance-like Rescue school. It was a learning and studying experience working in Marine 1. The next few years, before being promoted to Captain, were great, and something happened in the last six months of covering that changed everything for me. I got promoted to Captain on the same department order Ray Downey was promoted to chief. I wanted to go back into SOC, so I went to see the two chiefs in charge of SOC within the first few weeks of getting promoted. I was assigned to Division 5 as a Captain. I could not ask for a better place. By now, Squad 41 was back in SOC, so there were 11 companies, including the marine units to cover. In May or June 97, Spillane got promoted out of Squad 41, and Banker was placed in the spot UFO. I was covering a vacation when the spot opened, so I continued to cover. In September 1997, I was assigned to Squad 41. The rest of my career went on from there. Retired Jan. 2003 We can't wait to hear the Captains stories as he has a lot to talk about!

City wants the province to pay for increasing costs.
Most organisation would like to believe they support and empower their leaders, commanders & first responders to make efficient and effective decisions, use discretion, apply a risk-based approach and provide the organisation with both competency-based assurance and operational accountability. But how do you ensure that these front line leaders and the teams they work within, can operate safely and effectively, when faced with less frequent, but potentially more complex situations and cases, when realistic experience or training is harder to come by. Dr Katherine Lamb is a respected authority on the training and assessment of Incident Command and crisis decision making. Katherine worked as an accomplished research academic before joining the Fire Service in 2004. During her Fire Service career, Katherine served in Birmingham, Manchester and Oxfordshire Fire & Rescue Services, her final post was Lead Officer for incident command training and assessment.

That has been the driving force for Larry Murray, founder of https://www.ivorywolfproperties.com/ (Ivory Wolf Properties, LLC) which specializes in multi-family real estate investments. Before working with Joey Mure, Larry was like most people, working hard and saving every penny he could, but never really getting closer to his goal of financial freedom.

Noel and Liz speak to members of the Galway Mountain Rescue Team and one of the pilots of Rescue 118 to find out how weather impacts these vital services.
A major review of policing has concluded that violence against women and girls should be considered as much of a priority as counter terrorism. Following a spike in reports of domestic abuse during lockdown, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services found a "staggering variation" in how forces dealt with the issue across England and Wales. It is now six months since the murder of Sarah Everard, the fallout of which saw thousands of women reveal their own stories of rape and sexual assault that had gone unprosecuted. One woman shares her experience of abuse with Nick Robinson, who then speaks to the author of the report, Zoe Billingham, and the Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Louisa Rolfe. Nick also asks the Labour MP Harriet Harman, who is chair of parliament's Joint Committee on Human Rights and a former Secretary of State for Equalities and Minister for Women, for her views on how much impact this report will have.

Gary Strong talks to Krissie Stiles and David Wales about the ground breaking report Saving Lives is Not Enough: a casualty-centred proposal identifying how Fire and Rescue Services can improve pre-hospital care and quality of life outcomes for burn survivors. The report considers how actions on scene can help to determine long term quality of life outcomes, recognising that the casualty is the one who experiences the whole event from occurrence to recovery. This discussion will be of particular interest to the paramedic community as well as to firefighters, emergency department clinicians and burns specialists.

Guest: Jermaine Carelse | Spokesperson for Cape town Fire and Rescue Services.
Kevin sits down with Gamaliel Baer the Department Health and Wellness Coordinator for the Howard County Department of Fire & Rescue Services. They discuss health and wellness education in fire departments and what they are doing to help firefighters understand health risks. Gamaliel talks about the challenges he’s faced when trying to promote health education. Until recently firefighters didn’t make learning about cancer and cardiovascular disease in the fire industry. The Howard County Department of Fire & Rescue is a combination system of nearly nine-hundred career and volunteer providers operating from thirteen stations across the County. The department is statutorily responsible for the administration of the affairs for the county in fire suppression and prevention, fire training, arson investigation, rescue services and emergency medical services. The bottom line is that health and wellness in the fire service needs to be a priority going forward. Data collection now will be paramount in saving the lives of fire service members in the future.

Essential firefighting equipment is being stolen from high-rise buildings, with police in Vancouver reporting more than 60 cases of theft. Standpipe connections are attached to high-rise buildings and are used to feed water to upper floors during fires. Police believe they're being stolen because of the valuable metal component. They warn that the thefts are presenting a huge risk to the public, police, and firefighters. Guest: Captain Jonathan Gormick Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services
The inconsistent manner in which police forces in England and Wales investigate reports of fraud is leaving victims 'confused and disillusioned.' That's one of the findings in a report by the watchdog Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services. Money Box listener Emma lost her £25,000 new home deposit after criminals hacked emails between her and her solicitor in order to divert and steal the money. She feels let down by the police and her bank. Guest HM Inspector of Constabulary Matt Parr. What needs to happen for you to achieve the life you desire? How much money is enough money? Just a few of the questions likely to be asked by a lifestyle financial planner as they cashflow model your future. Julie Lord, Chief Executive of Magenta Financial Planning, explains what it involves. A report from Gingerbread, the charity for single-parent families, highlights concerns over the operation of one of the Child Maintenance Support payment methods called Direct Pay where parents manage payments between themselves. Guest: Sumi Rabindrakumar who wrote the report for Gingerbread. This week the Financial Conduct Authority issued a warning for people considering putting their cash into Innovative Finance ISAs (IFISAs). It says mini-bonds or peer-2-peer investments "may not be protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme so customers may lose the money invested or find it hard to get back." It follows the collapse of London Capital & Finance. More than 11,000 people invested £236m with the failed mini-bond provider.

In this episode of CRR Radio we talk with West Midlands FIre Service Chief Officer Phil Loach about the research project being undertaken in the UK to develop evidence-based methods for evaluating the impact of CRR (or as they call it, Integrated Risk Management). Phil Loach is Chief Fire Officer for West Midlands Fire Service, the largest UK Fire & Rescue Service outside of London. Alongside this, CFO Loach is also the Vice Chair for the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) which is made up of Chief Fire Officers from all 50 UK Fire & Rescue Services. Within the NFCC, CFO Loach is Programme Executive for the Community Risk Programme which has been set up to develop a comprehensive, evidence based and accredited risk analysis toolkit that is endorsed by the NFCC to assist UK fire and rescue services in developing their community risk management plans, while also being available to inform the understanding of Government departments around approaches to community risk management. The Programme is currently carrying out a Research Project that will include reaching out across the world to understand the approaches taken internationally when it comes to Community Risk Management. The Community Risk Programme is therefore inviting the International Fire Community to get in touch with the program if they would like to contribute or be involved in the exchange of ideas and sharing of approaches. Fire departments in the United States and other countries outside the UK can do so by contacting Group Commander Martin Ward-White at Martin.Ward-White@wmfs.net.

I’m headed to Milan and it’s a perfect day for a road trip. It’s sunny and warm, and everything is starting to turn green. As I get older, the winters get harder to take. Everything is just so drab. But if it weren’t for the winter that I have come to despise, I probably wouldn’t appreciate the spring and summer. In doing my research on this case, I’m amazed at the amount of criminal activity that seems to permeate West Tennessee. And it’s not just here. This is everywhere. I begin to realize that maybe I was somewhat sheltered growing up. And I start to appreciate even more, my childhood years. Not everyone had it so good. My destination is a house in the somewhere between Milan and Jackson, Tn, the town where I grew up. As I travel the winding back roads of West Tennessee, I can’t help but think about all the secrets held in this area for over twenty years. And just by looking at it, with rolling pastures and well kept homes, you’d never know that there are some really bad people in this world. And some of them are our neighbors. A couple of days after Episode One came out, I received a message from a woman named Dawn who wanted to meet with me. She said she knew Cayce and the family, and was very involved in the search efforts when Cayce went missing. She also wanted Cathy, a long-time friend of the family, to join us to help fill in any blanks. Dawn told me to carve out two days for interviews because there was just so much information. We didn’t need two days, but we did talk for over six hours. I’m Brandon Barnett. And this is Searching For Ghosts. Cayce was at an age when a lot of kids start to rebel. It happens. For many, it’s a rite of passage. Everything that has been made public about Cayce from friends and family over the years, might lead one to believe that she was immune to any teenage rebellion. As far as I’m concerned, there are three possible explanations for this: 1) People might be concerned about soiling her reputation, which might affect people’s opinion of her and their interest in the case. Don’t think for one moment that the image of the innocent beauty queen that was Jon Benet Ramsey didn’t fuel the public’s fascination with that case. 2) Cayce showed a certain side of herself around some, and then a totally different side to others. That’s what teenagers are best at. 3) She wasn’t going through a rebellious stage. It has happened. My parents were my best friends throughout my teenage years. I never really went through that phase. I was either fishing, playing basketball or holed up in my room with a guitar in my hands. I was pretty much a straight arrow. But the summer Cayce disappeared, both Dawn and Cathy noticed a drastic change. And while in 2017, the Goth look seems pretty tame, in 1996 in rural West Tennessee, this was a pretty big deal. If nothing else, it was a definite departure from the Cayce of just a few months before. It’s been about two months since I stopped by the Milan Police Department to ask for any reports about Cayce that are open to the public. I was told that the initial report should be available for me to read. I’ve had friends and family of Cayce ask for those reports as well. But it appears that we’re being stonewalled. And the daily paper out of Jackson, Tn, The Jackson Sun, is going through their archives to find articles about the case. But this will take some time. So the Milan Mirror Exchange has been my main source at this point to try to piece this thing together. It is a weekly paper, so I have to do a little estimating on the exact timing of certain findings. While looking through these reports, it appears that by September 2, 1996, police had a sketch of a possible suspect. After a little digging around, I discovered that the sketch came from a witness who alleges that Cayce was seen with this man at The Gibson County Fairgrounds in Trenton, Tn, a town about fourteen miles away from Milan. This sketch is floating around the internet, but like so many things about this case, it is never mentioned again. So I started asking around, and the word is that the source was deemed not credible. Not one person that I talked to said that they believed she was ever at the fair in Trenton. And given that all the descriptions of Cayce by law enforcement had her in her bed clothes with no shoes, I felt that it wouldn’t make sense for her to be walking around the fair a couple of days later. So I made note of this, but pretty much dismissed the sketch myself. But then I found an article just one month later in the October 1st edition of The Mirror-Exchange about a world-famous search and rescue dog named Valorie who came to Milan to search for Cayce. The headline read: “Cayce Left On Her Own Free Will, Smart Dog Says." Her own free will? Again, why would Cayce leave on her own free will in boxers, a tee shirt and no shoes. The no shoes story is one of the few things in this case that keeps being repeated year after year. I needed to know more about this smart dog and her findings. It just so happened that I was sitting at the kitchen table of one of the people responsible for bringing Valorie to town. Dawn and her husband had even video taped the search. Valorie had found ten people in the Oklahoma City bombing the year before. At the time, she had flown 40 times to find missing persons, had been involved in 600 cases So I desperately wanted to read the official report of Valorie’s findings. That would definitely be something that would’ve been given to law enforcement at the time, seeing how there was at least one report in the media about it. But I wasn’t going to get it from the Milan Police Department. I finally received word from Milan PD that they were not going to release any reports whatsoever pertaining to the Cayce McDaniel case. Damn. So I decided to look up Valorie’s handler at the time, Harry Oakes. Valorie has passed on, but Oakes is still doing search and rescue with his organization International K-9 Search and Rescue Services. In 1996, he was working under the name Mountain Wilderness Search-Rescue-Recovery-International Response Team. In 1996, Oakes and Valorie were brought in to Milan by Dawn and others with private funds. So I hoped that Oakes would be able to help me seeing as how this mission was not sanctioned by local law enforcement. According to a 1998 article in The Tennessean, Billy Hale was with The National Missing Children’s Locate Center. At this time, I am having trouble finding any footprint on the internet of Billy and his organization. I only pray that the organization didn’t die with Mr. Hale. If you have any information on this please contact me on our website, sfgpodcast.com When Dawn first reached out to me, she told me a story that I had never heard before. And to be honest, it blew my hair back. And this story, in my mind, might piece together the things we’ve discussed in this episode. There are rumors that Cayce made a phone call from the church rec center pay phone the night she went missing. Who would she have called? Her mother didn’t have a phone at the house. The grandmother reportedly never received a phone call. Her best friend was at the church social with Cayce. Did Cayce call someone to arrange for them to pick her up after the church party? Was Cayce going through the teenage rebellion stage that so many have denied? Did the police investigate this alleged phone call? Is there any way to get the phone records today from a pay phone in 1996? Searching For Ghosts Website International K-9 Search And Rescue Services

One annual feature at Bramham is the event’s backing of a charity and this year’s partner is The Fire Fighters Charity, the UK’s leading provider of services to support the fire and rescue community when they are in need. Charity representatives together with the Fire and Rescue Services from Yorkshire and Humberside region will be on-event raising awareness of their work with horses and fundraising towards the £9million target required annually. The Fire Fighters Charity is there for every one of the 66,000 serving fire fighters plus control room staff, fire service support staff, retired fire fighters, and their families. Fire fighter’s jobs are inherently dangerous. Every 30 seconds in the UK, fire fighters are called to an incident, putting their lives on the line and often sustaining physical injury in the line of duty and many more go through emotional trauma after rescuing people in desperate situations. The Charity has three state-of-the-art residential rehabilitation centres. Run by dedicated teams of professionals, these centres offer a range of treatments to help people recover from or learn to live with their injury, trauma or illness, often helping fire fighters return to work after career-threatening injuries. As well as Bramham’s own milestone birthday, The Fire Fighters Charity celebrates its 70th anniversary in 2013 so there’s much to celebrate on top of the three major competition titles up for grabs in the Equi-Trek CCI***, the BETA CIC*** and the Bishop Burton College Under 25 CCI***. As well as the eventing competitions, the event hosts top-flight show jumping, showing classes, young horse sections and Pony Club show jumping and mounted games. Plus, family entertainments, main ring shows, amazing food outlets and over 130 prime trade stands all combine to make Bramham an award winner, the 2012 BETA Event of the Year to be precise! So, make this your not-to-be-missed fixture of 2013, you won’t be disappointed! The tradestand area will be boosted this year by our charity as the local specialist large animal rescue units will be showing how they support the equine community. They will be demonstrating techniques on how they rescue horses from various scenarios, talking visitors through these rescues step by step and offering vehicle safety advice. Regional Fundraiser for the Fire Fighters Charity, Chrissie Fielden, has experienced first-hand the professional care provided by the Fire Fighters Charity.” Whilst working for a Fire and Rescue Service in 2011, I had a very unspectacular fall off my young horse Bob. Having been airlifted to hospital I was told I had broken my neck. I received specialist residential rehabilitation at the Fire Fighters Charity centre in Penrith which not only put me back on my feet, but helped me come to terms with the life changing effects of my accident. I will be forever grateful for the professional and individual care I received at Jubilee House.” Chrissie continued; “This is a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness of the Fire Fighters Charity and to help us raise money so we can continue to make a real difference to the lives of people within the fire community.” Check out www.firefighterscharity.org.uk for more information on the vital work of Bramham’s 2013 Charity.
