In a heartwarming yet informative conversation, Janet Michael sits down with Andrea Ross, the executive director of Warren County Habitat for Humanity, to explore the multifaceted impact of the organization on the local community. The conversation delves into the essence of what Habitat for Humanity stands for and the incredible initiatives they undertake to provide affordable housing while creating robust communities. Janet introduces the discussion by shedding light on the myriad of responsibilities that Andrea and her team juggle daily. Andrea explains that while many associate Habitat for Humanity with building homes—as popularized by public figures like Jimmy Carter—the organization's mission extends far beyond that. "We build affordable housing alongside families that are going to get mortgages," Andrea says, emphasizing the importance of economic development, neighborhood stability, and sweat equity contributed by the families themselves. The conversation reveals that Warren County Habitat for Humanity also undertakes critical home repairs to ensure that residents can live safely in their homes. These repairs go beyond cosmetic changes; they include essential upgrades like installing ramps or fixing dangerous electrical issues. "Our goal is to keep people safe in their homes as long as possible," Andrea asserts. Janet and Andrea further discuss the financial realities and misconceptions about Habitat for Humanity. Drea clarifies that the homes built are not free; the families secure mortgages and invest their labor into building these homes, ultimately contributing to community development. "People assume it's for extremely low-income families, but many don't realize that even middle-income families can qualify," she notes, highlighting the pervasive reach of their aid. Warren County Habitat for Humanity is more than just a housing entity; it is a community builder. Janet points out the genius of community-centric projects like the Osage development, which aims to foster a neighborhood where families can grow together, sharing memories and mutual support. Andrea nostalgically recalls the essence of neighborhoods where kids played together and parents looked out for each other, emphasizing that rebuilding these communities can have significant economic and social benefits. To sustain these efforts, Andrea implores the community to get involved in any capacity they can—be it donating $20, sponsoring a family or attending fundraising events like the Canvas and Cocktails event. "Every little bit helps," she passionately states, reflecting on the impact of even the smallest contributions. The conversation concludes on a note of gratitude, acknowledging the support from local entities such as the Rotary Club and community contractors who make all these efforts possible. With numerous events lined up, including the Hope and Harmony Gospel Fest and their annual gala, there are ample opportunities for community members to engage and contribute. For those interested in keeping up with Habitat for Humanity's activities or getting involved, Andrea encourages visits to their website: https://www.warrencountyhabitat.org/ or Facebook where updates and calls for volunteers are frequently posted. "Our parents shouldn't have to be in places where they don't have heat or water or the basic necessities," Andrea poignantly remarks, encapsulating the heartfelt mission of Warren County Habitat for Humanity: to provide not just houses but homes, filled with warmth, safety, and community spirit.

In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month this April, host Janet Michael spoke with Aliyha Gill, a passionate sexual assault victim advocate for the Phoenix Project to explore the crucial efforts of the organization and highlight the importance of consent, support systems for survivors, and educational initiatives. Janet introduced the show by highlighting April as Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month, emphasizing the importance of widespread awareness. Aliyha shared her role as a sexual assault victim advocate for the Phoenix Project, an organization extending its services to domestic violence and sexual assault survivors. She delved into the comprehensive support provided by the organization, including legal advocacy, educational supportive counseling, medical accompaniment, and specialized support for children and parents. A significant part of the conversation revolved around the topic of consent. Aliyha provided an in-depth understanding of consent from a sexual assault perspective, emphasizing both verbal and non-verbal communication. She pointed out the importance of having ongoing conversations about consent, even within established relationships, and highlighted the legalities surrounding consent, particularly in marriages. The discussion continued with Janet and Aliyha addressing various support mechanisms available for survivors. They touched on the importance of reporting assaults, even when physical evidence might not be readily available, to prevent further incidents and ensure justice. Confidentiality and safe reporting avenues were also underscored, ensuring survivors understand their rights and the support available without fear of exposure. Aliyha talked about the upcoming Survivor Art Showcase, set for April 27th at the Stone Branch Center for the Arts. This event aims to provide an expressive outlet for survivors through various art forms, from abstract art to spoken word. The showcase will feature submissions from survivors in Warren County and presents an opportunity for the community to witness the resilience and creativity of these individuals. Alongside the art showcase, the organization is preparing for International Denim Day on April 30th, promoting awareness through wearing denim. Aliyha highlighted the origin of this day and its significance in advocating against victim-blaming attitudes. Additionally, various educational materials and support resources will be available at multiple locations, making it accessible for those in need. April also marks Child Abuse Prevention Month. The Phoenix Project is actively participating by displaying blue pinwheels and providing educational resources to the community. A cohesive approach involving public and systemic efforts is essential to prevent child abuse, with schools and workplaces playing significant roles in this mission. The Phoenix Project will host an open house and donor event on April 24th, offering a platform for the community to learn more about their services and meet the dedicated advocates in person. This event aims to foster better support systems and create a safer community for all.

In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael dives into the engaging and enriching world of 4-H in Warren County. Joining Janet is Emily Schultz, the Associate Extension Agent for Warren County, who's been a pivotal figure in the 4-H community for the past year. Reflecting on her first year, Emily shared the whirlwind of activities and opportunities that have kept her busy. The last year saw the addition of five new 4-H clubs and the initiation of novel in-school programs, all aimed at offering more avenues for youth engagement. The ongoing renovation of their office hasn't slowed them down, as Emily continues her work from home. For those unfamiliar with 4-H, it's a community for young people to explore diverse interests. Warren County's 4-H boasts seven community clubs and one in-school club covering a range of activities from livestock to photography and crafts, breaking the stereotype that 4-H is solely about farming. Emily emphasizes the program's versatility - there's something for everyone, from public speaking to talent shows. Children can join 4-H as Cloverbuds at the age of five, participating in age-specific activities that are fun and educational. Older members, ages nine and up, can engage in more specialized clubs, including shooting sports and horse clubs. A big draw for many parents is the cost – membership in 4-H is free, making it accessible to everyone. The program thrives on the dedication of its volunteers. With a robust team of 60-70 volunteers in Warren County, many bringing unique skills, the support is invaluable. There's always room for more willing hands – anyone interested in volunteering can reach out to Emily to find out how to get involved. 4-H clubs meet regularly for various activities, including community service, guest speakers, and hands-on learning experiences. The program's flexibility allows it to cater to a wide range of interests, ensuring that all kids find their “spark.” Emily reassures that even those without livestock can participate fully through educational projects and competitions. One of the highlights of 4-H is the range of camps available, from day camps to overnight stays at the Northern Virginia 4-H Center in Warren County. These camps offer incredible opportunities for kids to gain independence, learn new skills, and enjoy the outdoors. Kids can select from a variety of classes, ranging from archery and canoeing to arts and crafts and outdoor living skills. Parents interested in signing up their kids for the overnight camp can do so easily via the county's website or by contacting the local 4-H office. Camp fees are $400, which covers all activities, meals, and a camp t-shirt. Scholarships are also available to ensure that all children have the chance to participate. The upcoming camp, taking place from June 8th to 12th, promises an enriching and exciting experience for all attendees. Warren County shares it's overnight camp with neighboring localities: Culpeper, Clarke, Shenandoah, and Rappahannock Counties. As the conversation wraps up, it's clear that Warren County's 4-H program offers invaluable experiences for children. From fostering independence and leadership skills at camps to providing a wide range of clubs for diverse interests, 4-H is a cornerstone of the community. Emily Schultz's passion and dedication shine through as she encourages parents to explore the opportunities available and get their children involved.

Layoffs at the agency, which releases weather forecasts and monitors extreme weather, could have serious implications. Also, funds for climate and sustainability-focused farming projects have been indefinitely frozen, even though the USDA has already signed contracts.10% Of NOAA Staff Laid Off, With More Cuts PossibleThe National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, better known as NOAA, impacts and provides services for Americans every day. The agency releases daily weather forecasts and monitors extreme weather, and it also conducts research into global weather and climate change.Along with many other federal science agencies, NOAA is being subjected to layoffs in the name of cost-cutting: 10% of the agency's workforce has been laid off, with 1,000 more cuts potentially to come. According to Dr. Timothy Gallaudet, acting NOAA administrator during Trump's first term, this is likely to lead to declines in quality of service and access to information about weather events.Host Flora Lichtman speaks to Umair Irfan, science correspondent at Vox, who has been covering the turmoil at NOAA. They also discuss other science stories of the week, including the death of prolific blood donor James Harrison.Frozen Climate And Conservation Funds Leave Farmers In LimboAround the country, farmers are planning and planting this year's crops. It can be uncertain work, made even more tenuous by some of the Trump administration's changes to climate and conservation policies.The administration has frozen billions of dollars in grants to farmers for sustainable agriculture, conservation, and “climate smart” projects. In some cases, farmers had already signed contracts with the government and begun work on these projects.While some funding from the Inflation Reduction Act was recently released, many farmers across the country are still in limbo.Host Flora Lichtman talks with Patrick Brown, a farmer in Warren County, North Carolina; and Dr. Kitty O'Neil, an agricultural climate resiliency specialist at Cornell University's Cooperative Extension about the future of farming in a changing climate.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Janet Michael welcomes listeners to another episode of The Valley Today, featuring Christa Shifflett and Celeste Brooks from the Warren Coalition.

EPISODE 67 DETAILS A New Packing Plant & Consumer Food Prices New Packing Plant In Missouri America's Heartland Packing is finishing construction of its new plant in Warren County, Mo., with processing operations now slated to begin in April, the company said Tuesday. A division of Wisconsin-based American Foods Group (AFG) LLC, the $800 million plant will have a daily capacity of eventually more than 2,400 head in a 775,000-square-foot, mixed cattle facility, including a harvest floor, carcass chillers, fabrication area, rendering, further processing area, storage coolers, freezers and loading docks. President Trump Urged To Make Changes & Address Food Costs The Meat Institute urged President Donald Trump to reduce regulatory burdens that it says are driving up food costs for consumers. In a letter addressed to the president, Meat Institute President and CEO Julie Anna Potts highlighted the organization's concerns about several regulations finalized under the previous administration and proposed actions to alleviate their impact. The letter called on the administration to withdraw or revise rules, including USDA's Inclusive Competition and Market Integrity rule. Additionally, the group urged the EPA to withdraw its Clean Water Act Effluent Limitations proposal, which the Meat Institute claims underestimates compliance costs and could force facilities to close. The Meat Institute also expressed support for USDA's inspection modernization for pork and poultry processing, advocating for interim rules to allow modernized facilities to operate above traditional line speeds. The organization emphasized the importance of these changes in addressing inflation and reducing consumer costs.

Rick was a guest speaker at the recent Profitable Soil Health Field Day held in Franklin County, Virginia.In talking with Mary, Jeff, and Eric about his experience and organic no-till journey, Rick emphasizes the need for early success with cover cropping and soil health-building practices, particularly when people are shifting farming systems and paradigms.
