Neil interviews Darin Deaton, a physical therapist, entrepreneur, and rancher. Darin shares his shift from pre-med toward PT after observing an independent practice owner's lifestyle, his education at Texas Woman's University, and juggling full-time work with graduate school. He describes learning business through an early partnership, then launching his own clinic using SBA financing and a $60,000 investor check that enabled a 1998 seven-figure exit. Darin later built and sold a seven-location Fort Worth PT group (sold in 2024) and runs DPT Therapy. They discuss Deaton Ranch Beef, regenerative ranching, raising Achi/Red Wagyu over Angus, local food systems, health pillars, aging and muscle loss, faith, integrity, and "Make America Grit Again."

On one night in January every year, Milwaukee County workers scour the area looking for people experiencing homelessness for the annual Point-In-Time Count. This is a federal requirement, but it is only a snapshot of the larger picture.

A Race Against the Cold When temperatures plummet below freezing in Winchester, Virginia, Robyn Miller's phone doesn't stop ringing. As Executive Director of WATTS (Winchester Area Temporary Transitional Shelter), she oversees a lifesaving operation that runs 24 hours a day during the coldest months of the year.  In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael talks with Robyn about how this winter has tested her team like never before, with sustained sub-zero temperatures creating dangerous conditions for the area's homeless population. The organization's founding story serves as a stark reminder of what's at stake. Years ago, someone froze to death on Winchester's streets because they had nowhere to go. That tragedy sparked the creation of WATTS, and today, Robyn remains laser-focused on ensuring it never happens again. Two Shelters, One Mission WATTS operates through a dual-facility model designed to meet different needs throughout the day. First, the warming center at Montague Avenue United Methodist Church opens its doors from 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM providing a safe haven during daylight hours. During this brutal cold snap, staff have extended hours beyond their typical 1:00 PM closing time, recognizing that many people won't seek overnight shelter for various personal reasons. Meanwhile, the overnight shelter rotates through 21 host churches across the community, currently welcoming up to 45 guests each night from 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM. This week, Christ Episcopal Church downtown serves as the temporary home, conveniently located where guests can walk directly to the entrance without needing bus transportation. Breaking Down Barriers to Safety Getting people through the door requires more than just opening it. Robyn explains that safety concerns keep many homeless individuals from seeking shelter, so WATTS has implemented strict protocols to address these fears. Staff conduct light searches to ensure no drugs, alcohol, or weapons enter the facility, creating an environment where everyone can rest without worry. Furthermore, the shelter maintains two staff members on duty throughout the night, checking on guests regularly. This vigilance proves especially critical given that many residents struggle with serious health issues, including seizures. The staff doesn't just monitor—they actively care, ensuring each person breathes safely through the night. The entry requirements remain intentionally minimal. Anyone over 18 can walk in and give a name—it doesn't even have to be their real one. Guests need only bring a light bag of necessities, a policy designed to prevent bedbug infestations while still accommodating essential belongings. Beyond a Warm Bed While immediate shelter saves lives, WATTS aims higher. The organization employs dedicated case managers who work with guests willing to take the next steps toward stability. Already in January alone, the team has housed five people and helped three others enter rehabilitation programs. Additionally, they've assisted two individuals in returning to their home communities outside the area. This comprehensive approach extends to WATTS' partnership with the Winchester Police Department's Addiction Recovery Program and their ownership of two transitional homes through a collaboration with 143 Transformations. Robyn emphasizes a crucial point: you can't simply hand someone who's been chronically homeless for 13 years the keys to an apartment and expect success. Instead, staff work daily with residents, helping them relearn or update skills for navigating systems that provide food, transportation, and other essential services. The Community Responds The warming center's current needs reflect the intensity of this winter's demands. Coffee flies off the shelves—Robyn reports they're down to their last five pounds of sugar. Guests particularly appreciate flavored creamers, a small luxury that brings comfort during difficult times. Beyond beverages, the center welcomes snacks, baked goods, and even gallons of milk. Moreover, WinReady bus cards have become invaluable. Many WATTS guests maintain employment and need reliable transportation to work, while others require rides to medical appointments. With sidewalks transformed into what local news dubbed "snowcrete" - concrete- hard ice impossible to remove - safe transportation has become even more critical. Counting the Invisible This week marks the annual Point in Time Count, a nationwide effort to quantify homelessness. Volunteers fan out across the region from Harrisonburg to Winchester, visiting encampments, shelters, and motels to ask a simple question: are you homeless? The count typically reveals around 400 people in the region, but Robyn knows the real number tells a different story. Using the McKinney-Vento Rule, advocates multiply the official count by ten, estimating approximately 4,000 people experience homelessness across the area. This discrepancy exists for several reasons: some individuals hide in locations volunteers never find, others refuse to be counted for privacy reasons, and families with children fall under a completely different counting system managed by the State Department of Education. These numbers matter beyond statistics. Federal funding for low-income housing depends directly on these counts, making accurate data essential for addressing the crisis long-term. The Coldest Night of the Year On February 28th, WATTS will host its largest fundraiser, responsible for a quarter of the organization's operational budget. The Coldest Night of the Year walk brings together hundreds of community members for a simple 2K stroll through downtown Winchester, with a more challenging 5K option winding through the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley. Last year, 800 participants braved the elements. This year, Robyn hopes for even more, especially since the event will feature guest speaker Lauryn Ricketts alongside a former WATTS guest who now works for the organization. This employee will share her firsthand experience of falling into homelessness and the tremendous effort required to escape it. The walk serves multiple purposes beyond fundraising. Guests currently experiencing homelessness watch participants pass by, seeing tangible proof that their community hasn't forgotten them. Many of these individuals grew up in Winchester—this is their home—and they often express feeling left behind as the area's costs skyrocket faster than their fixed incomes can match. A Purely Private Mission Unlike many social service organizations, WATTS receives zero state, federal, or local government funding. Every dollar comes from individual donors, fundraising events, and participating churches. This complete reliance on private support makes community engagement not just helpful but absolutely essential. Robyn runs WATTS as a business because it must be one—with insurance, electrical bills, a bus to maintain, trained staff to employ, and operational expenses that don't pause for winter storms. The recent snow has driven costs even higher, yet turning people away simply isn't an option when lives hang in the balance. Looking Ahead As this brutal winter continues, Robyn remains focused on her primary goal: ensuring no one freezes to death on Winchester's streets. The warming center stays open, the overnight shelter rotates through its church partners, and case managers continue working to transition people from temporary shelter to permanent housing. For those wanting to help, the path forward is clear. Donate supplies to the warming center at 102 Montague Avenue between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Sign up for the Coldest Night of the Year walk at https://cnoy.com/location/winchester or through the WATTS website. Write a check. Share social media posts. Every action counts. Because ultimately, WATTS operates on a simple but powerful principle: everyone deserves a home and a door they can close to be safe. Until that becomes reality for every person in the Winchester area, Robyn and her team will keep fighting the freeze, one guest at a time.

Your cash and your calendar reveal what you truly value. Everyone is equally rich in time—24 hours a day, seven days a week—but how you assign those days determines your priorities. Accountability sharpens how we live, and your calendar is your greatest tool, because you will never get that day back. This isn't about living in a hurry; it's about living with intention.

Scripture says that our life is like a vapor. How we think about time should be biblical. The enemy wants to distort our view of time. Everyone assumes they have tomorrow, but we aren't guaranteed that. We plan like we have tomorrow, yet we should live like we do not.

In this powerful message, Pastor Shane explores the timeless wisdom found in James 4:13-17, where we are reminded about the fleeting nature of life and the importance of living with purpose. Life is short, and none of us knows what tomorrow will bring. Pastor Shane challenges us to reflect on how we use our time and make every moment count for God's kingdom. He will dive into the practical aspects of aligning our plans with God's will, avoiding the pitfalls of arrogance in making future plans, and seeking His guidance in all that we do. Pastor Shane will encourage the congregation to shift from a mindset of self-reliance to one of humility and surrender, as we trust that God has a greater purpose for our lives than we can imagine. This sermon is a timely reminder to live with intentionality and to commit each day to God's service, acknowledging that our time on earth is a precious gift. Don't miss this opportunity to be challenged and encouraged to make your time count for eternity.

Over the past decade, homelessness in the Chicago area has been on the rise, and the latest numbers are especially troubling. According to the City of Chicago's 2025 Point-in-Time Count, the number of longtime Chicago residents without stable housing jumped by 38 percent in just one year. In Suburban Cook County, homelessness rose by 15 percent, with chronic homelessness — people stuck in long-term housing instability — up by 16 percent. These aren't just statistics. They represent families with children, young people, survivors of domestic violence, recent immigrants, and even folks who are working but still cannot afford a place to live. And while these numbers do include people living on the streets or in shelters, they do not account for those who “double up” with friends or family. In the face of rising need and uncertain funding, the question is not just how we respond to homelessness, but how we rethink what it means to end it. At The Chicago Community Trust, we are committed to supporting long-term, systemic solutions. We support organizations that meet people where they are – with trauma-informed care, youth and immigrant services, and family shelters – while also advocating for the policy changes that can prevent homelessness before it starts. In this episode of Trust Talks, host Joanne Otte, the Trust's Critical Needs program manager, is joined by Casey Holtschneider, executive director of Lyte Collective; Jennifer Hill, executive director of the Alliance to End Homelessness for Suburban Cook County; LaShunda Brown, chief officer of quality and impact at Primo Center; and Niya Kelly, director of state legislative policy, equity and transformation at the Chicago Coalition to End Homelessness. Together, they discuss the current state of homelessness in the Chicago area, highlighting best practices currently underway, how organizations are adapting, and how to address the systemic barriers that lead to homelessness. This episode was produced by Juneteenth Productions and recorded at LYTE Collective

(The Center Square) – Despite recording the second consecutive decline in homelessness since 2016, the Spokane City Council's conservative minority questioned that data on Monday – one of the two members had participated in the Point-in-Time Count last January, calling the feedback “unreliable.” The 2025 Point-in-Time Count released Monday recorded 1,806 people experiencing homelessness in January, a 10.6% dip compared to 2024. City staff were supposed to lead a committee meeting on Monday with the data but fell behind on the agenda, citing last-minute changes they made that morning. Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxxRead more: https://www.thecentersquare.com/washington/article_7f60cc67-2ba5-4d26-9161-606f371417a1.html

Host Dr. Philip Lindholm sits down with Pierce County Executive Ryan Mello to answer a fundamental question: Is homelessness a housing problem?  Ryan explains what he sees as the root causes of homelessness, the rising cost of housing, and the policies that could turn the tide in Pierce County and beyond.Philip kicks off the episode by asking the central question:Is homelessness a housing problem? Executive Mello responds emphatically, stating that it absolutely is—a lack of housing is the strongest correlation with homelessness. Mello walks us through the top drivers of homelessness,citing data from Pierce County's Point-in-Time Count. He emphasizes three main causes: lack of affordable housing, insufficient income, and family crises such as domestic violence or rejection after coming out as LGBTQ+.Substance use and mental health disorders, Mello explains, are often consequences rather than causes of homelessness. He defends the housing-first model, which builds trust and safety as a foundation for tackling deeper issues. The conversation also explores low-barrier shelters and the challenge of balancing civil liberties with public safety. Mello supports involuntary commitment only in cases where someone poses a violent threat to themselves or others.The episode then shifts to the rising cost of housing. Mello outlines the impacts of inflation, zoning laws, and reduced construction, making the case for more regional collaboration and public subsidies. He introduces the GrowthManagement Act, advocating for smart urban development and warning against urban sprawl.In terms of actionable solutions, Mello discusses eviction prevention, rental assistance programs, and community land trusts. He stresses the need for a unified regional approach, inclusive planning, and protection against displacement.

PEKUDEI/ HACHODESHMake Time CountThe Previous Rebbe once said: "The clock is a silent moral preacher." Without uttering a word, the clock pierces the soul and awakens a sense of the elevated life one can live and ofthe fleeting moment that will never return.To learn to listen to the voice of the clock, we will need to dwell on the first question raised in the Torah: How did the mitzvah of sanctifying the new month merit being the firstcommandment given to Israel as a nation? What is primary, fundamental, and essential about it? After all, it is not the first among principles of thought, such as belief in G-d; it isnot the first related to human existence, like procreation; nor is it the first to be practiced in life, like circumcision.We will explore three unique ideas, and the final one will bring us back to where we began: The mitzvah of sanctifying the new month means sanctifying time—treating withseriousness the most fundamental factor in our existence, which influences every decision in life.

What does it take to lead luxury fashion for two decades—then make an unexpected pivot? My guest this week, celebrated fashion designer Clare Waight Keller, knows first hand. After shaping the vision at Chloé and Givenchy—where she famously created the Duchess of Sussex's wedding dress—Clare stepped away from the Paris catwalk to become Uniqlo's Global Creative Director.In this episode, Clare reveals why this was more than a career shift —it was a statement of intent. With luxury fashion prices soaring 52% since 2020, Clare's new mission is to show that great everyday design can be accessible to everyone, and that in the right hands “fast fashion” can be reimagined as slow fashion.Clare also takes us under the hood of her creative and decision making process—sharing why trusting her instincts is her superpower, why discomfort fuels her best work, and how seeing time as her most precious resource has shaped every decision she's made. We get to the truth behind why there are so few female fashion directors, what it was like to work with the Duchess of Sussex, and why Uniqlo's home-base of Tokyo is her favourite fashion capital yet.Clare Waight Keller is a revered force in fashion, and her journey—rooted in instinct, embracing change and long-term strategic thinking—offers inspiration to anyone forging their own path to just right.If you've ever wanted a peek behind the curtain of design creativity, are curious about how fashion is changing, or to hear from a woman at the top of her game in an industry dominated by men, this one's for you.

Last month, volunteers gathered data for the 2025 Point in Time Count — an annual measurement of unhoused folks in our region. We discuss the early takeaways from the perspective of homeless service providers.

The Point-in-Time count is a federally required snapshot of how many people are experiencing homelessness in a given area. Last week, the Council for the Homeless in Vancouver, WA went out on a cold Thursday morning to start the count. It was conducted by outreach staff, volunteers and other social service providers. OPB’s “Think Out Loud” joined surveyors Daniel Rivera, Gemma Somol and Brian Starbuck as they conducted their work. We were also joined by Charlene Welch, chief advancement officer for Council for the Homeless. They all shared the importance of the count, what homelessness looks like in Vancouver and why they go out and do this work.
