The Shenandoah Valley is gearing up for its fourth annual Economic Summit, and this year's event promises to be more impactful than ever. In this episode of "The Valley Today," host Janet Michael talks with Kaleigh Fincham, Director of Events for the Top of Virginia Regional Chamber, and Scott Harvard, CEO of First Bank, to discuss what makes this summit a must-attend for business leaders, students, and community members alike. Bridging Local and National Perspectives From the outset, the conversation highlights the summit's unique approach: blending high-level economic analysis with on-the-ground realities. Scott, a long-time supporter and moderator of the event, explains how the summit brings together state and local leaders, ensuring that attendees receive both a macroeconomic overview and practical, region-specific insights. Notably, Tom Barkin, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, returns as keynote speaker, offering his expertise while also listening to the unique challenges and successes of the Shenandoah Valley. Spotlight on Real-World Impact Transitioning from theory to practice, the summit features a panel of local business leaders who share firsthand experiences about navigating economic shifts. This year's panel includes voices from construction, technology, and entrepreneurship, providing a diverse look at how issues like tariffs, inflation, and workforce development play out in the Valley. Scott emphasizes that these discussions are not just academic—they directly inform how local businesses plan for the future, adapt to challenges, and seize new opportunities. Opportunities for All: Networking and Education Beyond the presentations, the summit fosters meaningful connections. Kaleigh describes the event's robust networking opportunities, from breakfast mingling to interactive Q&A sessions with speakers. High school and Shenandoah University students are especially encouraged to attend, gaining exposure to real-world economics and the chance to interact with leaders who shape the region's future. The summit's inclusive ticketing ensures that students can participate for free, reinforcing the event's commitment to education and community growth. Looking Ahead: Building a Resilient Valley As the conversation draws to a close, both guests reflect on the summit's broader significance. By bringing together diverse perspectives and encouraging open dialogue, the event helps the Shenandoah Valley stay resilient in the face of economic uncertainty. Attendees leave not only with new knowledge but also with a sense of shared purpose—ready to tackle the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

Richmond's favorite caricature artist, Eric Vineyard, joins O Lala! in RVA to spill all the messy, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt details of life as a traveling caricature artist. From sketching drunk wedding guests to the day he accidentally gave a ride to someone picking up crack, Eric keeps it brutally honest and painfully funny.Eric opens up about getting fired (a lot), learning the ropes at Busch Gardens, getting banned for “Irish coffee mishaps,” and eventually becoming RVA's go-to caricature artist on his own terms. He talks about his love-hate relationship with weddings, his wildest fairground moments, and why he'll always draw you better if you just look up from your phone.We also play “Would You Draw This?”, where Eric tells us which requests he'd sketch sober, skip entirely, or only do if drunk — from toddlers mid-tantrum to couples with questionable poses.Follow Eric:https://www.instagram.com/ericscaricatureshttps://ericscaricatures.comPlus:

A precedent-setting ruling involving Aboriginal title at the B.C. Supreme Court has caused widespread uncertainty and tension in the province. In August, Justice Barbara Young decided that Cowichan First Nation had title to roughly 800 acres in the city of Richmond — including private property. The ruling has raised questions over both residential and commercial property rights, as well as governance of the region. Today, B.C. politics reporter Justine Hunter joins the show. She'll explain the case, the divisive response, and the impact it could have on Indigenous land claims across the province... and the country. Questions? Comments? Ideas?

The only glimmer of hope is the news that Buckingham's army was dispersed by floods and he was taken prisoner. Richard tells Stanley to muster men but to leave behind his son, George, so he can be sure of Stanley's loyalty. Stanley secretly sends word to Richmond that he will come to his aid once he secures his son's safety. Richmond rallies her army outside a “A Bus Named Larry” as Richard spends the night in an empty warehouse. Both leaders sleep and dream in their separate camps. Richard is haunted by the ghosts of the people he murdered, Richmond is blessed by those same ghosts. The moment of truth arrives when Richard meets Richmond in battle the next day.

Today, my conversation is with my dear friend Yancy Wideman Richmond and honestly, it feels so necessary. I think it's because she's shining a light on something that's often overlooked if you're not experiencing it firsthand: the kids growing up in the fishbowl of ministry.Yancy is a worship leader who's been creating music for kids and families for years. But lately, God has put something else on her heart that she couldn't shake… pastor's kids. The ones who sacrifice in ways no one asks them to. The ones who notice when their parent is different on stage than at home. The ones who get overlooked for discipleship because everyone assumes they're fine.So she's launched Stained Glass Kids: a podcast for and about ministry kids. It's so helpful and needed and it's a case study handed to church leaders on a silver platter about how to better care for their staff families.In our conversation, Yancy shares some of the wisdom she's already gleaned: Celebrate staff kids for the sacrifice they make. Remember that your staff members are someone's spouse, someone's parent. First-borns often carry pressure in hard seasons even when parents never asked them to. And kids absolutely notice when they're treated differently because of their last name.This episode is a big bear hug for anyone who grew up in ministry. It's also a necessary conversation for anyone in church leadership who wants to do better.Yancy on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yancynotnancy/Stained Glass Kids on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stainedglasskids/The Stained Glass Kids Podcast: http://stainedglasskids.com Yancy's book “Sweet Sound: The Power of Discipling Kids in Worship": yancyministries.com/sweetsound Curriculum to teach the heart of worship: yancyministries.com/heartbeat Worship for Preteen/elementary ages: kidminworship.com Worship for young children: yancyministries.com/readysetgo Live events, family concerts, leading worship: yancyministries.com/events 

Legh Richmond was born at Liverpool, on January 29, 1772, where his father, Dr. Henry Richmond, practiced as a physician; his mother was an estimable woman, of superior mind and acquirements. To the extent of her religious knowledge, she taught him, and she especially encouraged him in reading the Scriptures. Thus was laid the foundation of those clear views of Divine truth which afterwards distinguished him as a minister of Christ. Richmond wrote, The Dairyman's Daughter," which is narrated and uploaded here on this site.

After the Civil War, thousands of defeated Confederates refused to live under the Union flag. Instead, they packed up their families and headed for new lives in South America in a Confederate exodus from the United States.One of them was Ezekiel B. Pyles, a young man from the mountains of north Georgia, who rode with General John Hunt Morgan's raiders, fought across East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia and was captured at the Battle of Kingsport before becoming part of Jefferson Davis' guard as he fled Richmond at the end of the Civil War.  His story didn't end there, for he joined around 20,000 other Southerners who migrated to Brazil to start over.  In this episode, Rod and Steve tell the story of Pyles' incredible journey — from the hills of Appalachia to the colony of Americana.  It's another one of the Stories of Appalachia.Don't forget to subscribe; you'll find us on your favorite podcast app.

The discussion focused on various political and social issues, beginning with the Oberfeld decision on same-sex marriage and its parallels to Roe v. Wade. Jeffrey expressed skepticism about the left's political strategies, a sentiment echoed by Brian , who noted their past effectiveness. Ray raised concerns about the public's grasp of democracy and governance, while the group examined the actions of political figures like Lindsey Graham and their impact on constituents. The conversation also touched on current events and sports, reflecting a blend of interests. Voting dynamics in Virginia were a significant topic, with Jeffrey highlighting how Richmond's votes influenced election outcomes. Brian pointed out that a few regions were pivotal in determining results, while Ray criticized the low turnout of Trump voters during the midterms. The group debated the Electoral College's effectiveness and the implications of early voting, especially when negative candidate information surfaces post-vote. Local issues, such as a major traffic incident involving tractor trailers, were also discussed, alongside concerns about household debt in relation to social program voting.

Vancouver home prices just dropped for the seventh straight month,  and the November stats paint a clear picture: momentum is fading, listings remain high, and the winter slowdown is now colliding with a wave of economic and policy turbulence. In this week's episode, we break down everything from the federal budget fallout to land title uncertainty in B.C., and what all of it means for prices heading into 2026.Let's start with Ottawa. The latest federal budget was pitched as a housing plan, but for many Canadians dreaming of ownership, it landed more like a broken promise. Funding for the Build Canada Homes program was cut nearly in half, the MURB tax incentive was quietly shelved, and the much-hyped “development charge relief” was watered down. Instead, the lion's share of new spending targets rentals and supportive housing — not ownership. Worse, the government has committed to running the largest deficit in Canadian history over the next five years. With Ottawa already paying $55 billion annually just in interest, that figure could easily double if rates stay higher for longer. For context, in the 1990s, when interest payments hit 33% of total revenue, the government faced a full-blown fiscal crisis. Today we're at 10%, but trending up — and if that number hits 20% or more, markets, rating agencies, and mortgage rates will all start reacting. The key takeaway: Canada isn't in crisis yet, but it's walking a thinner line than most realize.Meanwhile, jobs data surprised to the upside, with 67,000 positions added in October — nearly all of them part-time. Private sector hiring picked up for the first time in months, but construction jobs fell again, particularly in B.C., where the slowdown in new builds is clearly visible. In Metro Vancouver, employment dipped 0.3%, and the unemployment rate edged up to 6.3%. Economists now expect the Bank of Canada to hold rates steady into the new year. It's a signal of cautious stability — the economy isn't collapsing, but it's far from thriving.And then there's the land claim shock. A recent B.C. Supreme Court ruling recognized Aboriginal title for the Cowichan Tribes over a section of southeast Richmond — an area including roughly 150 private parcels — and struck down parts of the law that made land titles “indefeasible.” The decision, now on appeal, effectively allows two forms of ownership to co-exist on the same land — something that no lender or insurer can practically underwrite. And finally, the November housing stats. Sales rose 21% month-over-month to 2,257 — the second-strongest month of 2025 — but still sit 14% below last year and 14.5% under the 10-year average. Inventory, at 15,797 active listings, is up 13% year-over-year and sits 36% above the decade norm. The sales-to-active ratio now rests at 14%. Detached homes sit at 11%, townhomes at 19%, and condos at 16%. The HPI benchmark price dropped again, down 0.8% month-over-month and 5.1% from the March peak to $1,132,500 — the lowest level since March 2023.By the end of this episode, you'll understand where prices are heading next, how the budget's deficit math could affect mortgage rates, and why land titles — not just listings — are suddenly the biggest wildcard in B.C. real estate.Foreclosures Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feD5v2ByQQc&t=5s   _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

(R)Ben Crowe is a mindset coach who has worked with elite athletes like surfer Steph Gilmore, tennis superstar Ash Barty, and the Richmond Football Club.But Ben's method of coaching seems counter-intuitive.Rather than telling these athletes they're the best, he encourages them to own their flaws, make sense of their life stories off the field, prioritising vulnerability and human connection, so they can take both wins and losses in their stride. Further informationOriginally broadcast in July 2021.Ben Crowe's new book, Where the Light Gets In, will be published by HarperCollins in January 2026.This episode of Conversations was produced by Michelle Ransom Hughes, executive producer was Carmel Rooney.It explores sport, NBA, basketball, football, Bayern, David Beckham, Hawks, Tigers, Magpies, Warriors, Tottenham, Jake Weatherald, Champions League, Wimbledon, Tennis Open, US Open, Australian Open, Arsenal, UCL, sports trading, UEFA, FIFA, mindset coaching, positive, books, writing, origin story, grief, death of a father, josh giddey.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Since its introduction in 1977, lethal injection has been the most commonly used method of execution by states with the death penalty. While it's often viewed as more humane than other methods, when the curtain is pulled back, it is tainted with error, ineptitude and secrecy that has led to many botched executions and unnecessary suffering. University of Richmond law professor and death penalty scholar Corinna Barrett Lain's debut book “Secrets of the Killing State” explores the secretive world of lethal injection in Missouri and throughout the U.S.

Richmond, California used to be called America's “Murder Capital”. But when city leaders chose a different path the city's gun violence problem dramatically declined. DeVone Boggan and UC Berkeley's Jason Corburn join Claudia to discuss their new book “Advancing Peace”, which chronicles their efforts to reduce gun violence in Richmond and other cities by focusing on those most likely to pull the trigger. Boggan and Corburn make a case for an approach to gun violence interruption grounded in deep mentorship, community investment and healing and accountability. We discuss:The book's core ideas: ending urban gun violence with redemptive loveHow public health overlooks community strengths by fixating on riskWhy Richmond's Office of Neighborhood Safety sits in government - but outside policingDeVone says that the greatest demonstration of this approach has always been Richmond: “From the moment we implemented the Peacemaker Fellowship in 2010, within 18 to 24 months after we did that, there were dramatic, precipitous reductions in gun violence… Our argument has been [that] when you get the right people to get at the right people the right way over a long period of time, here's living proof and demonstration of what can happen…In 2014, we achieved a 40 year low in gun violence [in Richmond].” Relevant LinksRead Jason and DeVone's book “Advancing Peace: Ending Urban Gun Violence through the Power of Redemptive Love”Listen to an episode from our archives with Megan Ranney on gun violence as a public health issueCheck out Richmond, California's Office of Neighborhood SafetyRead more about Jason Corburn's work at UC BerkeleyGet more information on DeVone's organization Advance PeaceAbout Our GuestsDeVone Boggan serves as Founder and CEO of Advance Peace. Advance Peace interrupts gun violence in American urban neighborhoods by providing transformational opportunities to young men involved in lethal firearm offenses and placing them in a high-touch, personalized fellowship. By working with and supporting a targeted group of individuals at the core of gun hostilities, Advance Peace bridges the gap between anti-violence programming and a hard-to-reach population at the center of violence in urban areas, thus breaking the cycle of gun hostilities and altering the trajectory of these men's lives. DeVone is the former Neighborhood Safety Director and founding director of the Office of Neighborhood Safety (ONS) for the City of Richmond, California. The ONS is a government, non-law enforcement agency that is charged with reducing firearm assaults and associated deaths in Richmond. Under his leadership as Neighborhood Safety Director, the city experienced a 71% reduction in gun violence between 2007 when the office was created and 2016. His work with ONS has been recognized in national publications and media, including the New York Times, Mother Jones, The Nation, Detroit Free Press, The Washington Post, TIME Magazine, PBS NewsHour, NPR, NBC Nightly News, ABC Nightline, CNBC, MSNBC, and CNN.

Mental health care is changing — and Dr. Matthew Rosario, founder and Chief Clinical Director of Clear Horizons Counseling Group, is helping to lead that transformation. In a candid and wide-ranging conversation on The Valley Today, host Janet Michael and co-host Niki Foster from the Front Royal/Warren County Chamber talk with Dr. Rosario about his passion for community-based care, his mission to make therapy more accessible, and why empathy and structure are the true foundations of healing. A New Model for Mental Health Care Dr. Rosario founded Clear Horizons to address the gaps he saw in traditional therapy. Rather than confining care to an office, his team meets clients where they are — literally and figuratively. "We're helping humans, not numbers," he explains. Instead of relying on the conventional 45-minute session, Clear Horizons offers community-based mental health and substance abuse treatment for youth and adults, including those involved with the Department of Juvenile Justice and Department of Corrections. By immersing themselves in their clients' real environments, Dr. Rosario and his staff gain a deeper understanding of the struggles people face each day. He emphasizes, "It's not just about talking. It's about seeing, listening, and walking alongside someone in their reality." Therapy That Meets People Where They Are Dr. Rosario rejects the idea that therapy should end when the clock runs out. His team remains available to patients, even outside business hours. "If a client needs me at nine o'clock at night because they're in crisis," he says, "I'd rather they call me than end up in the hospital." That human-first approach extends to Clear Horizons' payment model as well. The organization does not deny care based on a person's ability to pay, nor does it charge copayments. "If insurance pays, great," he notes. "If not, we still serve you. I'm not here to work for the insurance company — I'm here to work for the person." Beyond the Couch: Therapy for All Ages Clear Horizons operates offices in Front Royal, Fredericksburg, Richmond, and soon Norfolk, serving clients as young as six years old. Through play therapy, young children learn emotional regulation and critical thinking skills in a fun, interactive way. "Five-year-olds aren't going to sit down and spill their emotions," Dr. Rosario explains with a smile. "But through play, they show us how they feel — and that's where healing begins." For adolescents and adults, therapy may involve more direct dialogue and structured interventions, but the goal remains the same: to help clients recognize patterns, challenge excuses, and grow through self-awareness. The ADHD Conversation: From Diagnosis to Empowerment When the discussion turns to ADHD, Dr. Rosario leans forward with conviction. As an ADHD specialist—and someone who lives with the condition himself—he challenges misconceptions. "ADHD isn't just being hyper or distracted," he says. "It's about executive functioning — the ability to organize, prioritize, and self-regulate." Too often, he notes, patients receive medication without therapy or coaching. "Medication can help, but it doesn't teach skills. People need structure, accountability, and tools to manage their day-to-day life." He urges parents to seek ADHD coaches in addition to medical professionals, emphasizing that early intervention can make a life-changing difference. For adults, he offers hope: "You can't outgrow ADHD, but you can learn to manage it. It can become your superpower." A Life Built on Service and Structure Before entering the mental health field, Dr. Rosario served in the U.S. military, working at the Pentagon. That experience shaped his leadership style and his high standards for staff performance. "We're here to go above and beyond," he insists. "Our clients deserve our best." His structured approach balances empathy with accountability — both for his team and his patients. "I tell people all the time," he says, "'Life is tough. But what are you doing to change your circumstances?'" Investing in Community Wellness While Clear Horizons operates multiple offices across Virginia, Front Royal holds a special place in Dr. Rosario's heart. It's now his home and the organization's flagship location. He proudly reinvests 25% of company profits back into local nonprofits through sponsorships, grants, and community partnerships. "It's not about recognition," he insists. "It's about impact. If we have the resources to help, we should." From sponsoring Reaching Out Now and the Phoenix Project to hosting suicide awareness trainings and Narcan events, Clear Horizons embodies the philosophy that community well-being begins with collaboration. "Mental health isn't just what happens in therapy," Dr. Rosario says. "It's also showing love and support in the community." Redefining Resilience As the conversation winds down, Dr. Rosario reflects on his own journey — from a childhood marked by loss and hardship to leading a thriving organization that transforms lives. "I was born addicted to drugs," he shares openly. "My parents died when I was two. I faced every disadvantage, but I refused to become a product of my environment." Today, his message is clear: resilience is not about perfection — it's about purpose. "Once you get through it," he says, "you can finally breathe. And when you breathe, you can help others do the same." Learn more on their website: https://chfcounselingroups.com/, follow them on Facebook, or call (540) 583-3211.
