Wanna hear the FULL Episode? Sign up for the Grad Program today! During this week's show Professor Paul and Zach will discuss a recent social media post that went viral for SOTG. How and why might that be the case?  During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc, we will consider "thermochromic" coffee mugs and how those work. How are these different from a thermobaric device?  Language, Context, and Free Speech The professor and Zach discussed the appropriate use of certain words, emphasizing the importance of context and historical usage in language. They expressed frustration with the "woke" movement's attempts to censor language, highlighting the double standards and the impact on free speech. Zach mentioned that the first half of their show is open to all listeners, while the latter part, including the grad program content, is restricted to enrolled members. They encouraged listeners to join their mailing list for updates and access to live sessions. Blackout Coffee Mug Promotion The meeting discussed the promotion of Blackout Coffee and EOTech thermochromic coffee mugs, which gained significant attention on social media with over 519,000 views. Professor highlighted the pro-Second Amendment stance of Blackout Coffee's owners and shared a video demonstrating the mug's feature. The group also mentioned the release of three videos commemorating the 10th anniversary of Team Honey Badger and encouraged viewers to explore the Student of the Gun website and social media channels. The conversation ended with a brief mention of an upcoming discussion on fighting shotguns during the Student of the Gun homeroom. Fighting Shotgun Characteristics and Options The professor discussed the characteristics of a "fighting shotgun," emphasizing that it should be a 12-gauge repeating gun, such as a pump or semi-automatic model, with an 18-inch barrel and a cylinder bore. He explained that while double-barrel shotguns are popular for hunting, they are not ideal for self-defense due to legal restrictions in some countries. The professor also noted the rising cost of ammunition, particularly for smaller gauges like 20-gauge, and highlighted the availability of more affordable options like the MAC 1014 Breacher compared to high-end models like the Benelli M4. Home Defense Shotgun Recommendations The discussion focused on shotguns for home defense, with the professor recommending a simple, reliable 12-gauge pump-action shotgun loaded with buckshot from reputable manufacturers like Federal, Winchester, or Remington. He emphasized that such shotguns should be basic with a short barrel, no sporting features, and no duck plugs, and suggested practicing with birdshot before using buckshot for defense. The professor also noted that in the U.S., shotguns are used more as fighting tools than in other nations, citing their effectiveness in law enforcement for over 125 years. The conversation ended with an invitation for viewers to join the grad program by signing up at studentofthegun.com. Leadership and Continuous Education The meeting focused on leadership lessons, emphasizing the importance of gaining experience and continuing education. The professor shared anecdotes from military training and state-mandated firearms programs to illustrate how individuals sometimes underestimate the value of ongoing education.  Importance of Experience in Fitness The professor discussed the dangers of relying on enthusiasts for tactical advice, emphasizing the importance of experience and education. They also covered the topic of fighting fitness, mentioning that an email was sent out to promote a live show. The professor shared the story of Sybil, a client of Matt Reynolds who regained her quality of life through strength training, particularly deadlifts. They stressed the significance of maintaining muscle mass for longevity and improving quality of life, even into later years. Exercise Benefits for Aging Muscles The professor discussed the importance of regular exercise, particularly weightlifting, for maintaining muscle mass and bone density as people age. He explained that gravity plays a crucial role in muscle strengthening and that a combination of stress and recovery is necessary for muscle adaptation. The professor emphasized that older adults, particularly men, should focus on leg strength to prevent osteoporosis and reduce the risk of hip fractures, noting that many elderly individuals who break hips do not survive the year. Combat Veterans and Social Media The professor expressed frustration with modern combat veterans who act as if they are the first to experience combat, thanks to social media platforms like Instagram and YouTube. He compared their experiences to historical combat veterans, emphasizing the importance of civilian training and the need for practical knowledge in real-life situations. The professor also criticized a specific influencer's advice against using shotguns for home defense, highlighting the priority of stopping a threat over preserving drywall. Home Defense Rights Discussion The meeting focused on a passionate discussion about home defense and the importance of citizens having adequate tools and training to protect themselves. The professor emphasized that civilians should not be disadvantaged and should have access to the same weapons and training as the military, citing historical examples like the American Revolution. He criticized certain influencers and veterans for undermining civilians' rights to self-defense, arguing that citizens need more advantages rather than fewer. The conversation ended with a brief Thanksgiving message and reminder about an upcoming Best Of Student of the Gun episode.

In a recent episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael welcomes Elise Stine Dolinar, the driving force behind Bright Futures Frederick/Winchester. Their conversation, happening against the backdrop of the annual "Camping for Hunger" week, delves into the heart of a community initiative that goes far beyond simply filling backpacks with food. Bright Futures, as Elise passionately explains, is dedicated to ensuring that every student—regardless of circumstance—has access to the essentials they need to succeed in school and in life. The Weekend Food Pack Program: Logistics and Love At the core of Bright Futures' efforts is the weekend food pack program. Each week, volunteers assemble over a thousand bags of shelf-stable, allergy-conscious food items. These bags are discreetly placed in students' backpacks, ensuring that children who might otherwise go hungry have enough to eat until school resumes. Elise describes the logistical ballet required to coordinate donations, manage inventory, and accommodate special dietary needs. The program's success hinges on the generosity of local donors and the tireless work of school staff and volunteers. Beyond Hunger: Clothing, Hygiene, and Dignity However, Bright Futures' mission doesn't stop at food. Elise and her team respond to a wide range of student needs, from winter coats and shoes to hygiene products and even sleeping bags for homeless youth. The organization works closely with school counselors, who act as the eyes and ears on the ground, identifying students in need and maintaining their privacy. This system ensures that help is delivered quickly and discreetly, preserving the dignity of every child. Community Collaboration: Volunteers and Donors Step Up Transitioning from logistics to community impact, Janet and Elise highlight the crucial role of volunteers and donors. Whether it's a church group packing food bags, individuals donating new coats or clearing out store shelves during sales, the community's involvement is the lifeblood of Bright Futures. Elise shares stories of last-minute shopping trips for shoes and the creative ways the team stretches every dollar, often leveraging partnerships with organizations like the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank to maximize the impact of cash donations. Facing Challenges: Holidays, Snow Days, and the Unexpected The conversation also addresses the unique challenges posed by school breaks and unexpected closures. Elise explains how Bright Futures prepares special food boxes for holidays and adapts quickly when snow days disrupt their carefully planned schedules. Flexibility and foresight are essential, as is the unwavering commitment to never turn away a child in need. Empowering Students and Staff As the conversation wraps up, Elise emphasizes the importance of empowering both students and school staff. In-school food pantries allow older students to access food independently, while donations help relieve the financial burden on teachers and counselors who often dip into their own pockets to help students. The organization's work, Elise notes, is only possible thanks to the "angels in the schools" and the broader community that believes in supporting every child. A Call to Action Ultimately, this conversation shines a light on the power of community action. Bright Futures stands as a testament to what can be achieved when people come together with compassion, creativity, and a shared vision. As Janet and Elise urge, whether through donations, volunteering, or simply spreading the word, everyone has a role to play in ensuring that no child is left behind.

As Camping for Hunger Week sweeps through Warren County, the spirit of giving is palpable. Yet, for organizations like Winchester CCAP, the need for support extends far beyond a single week. In this episode of "The Valley Today," host Janet Michael sits down with Andrea Cosans, Executive Director of Winchester CCAP, to shed light on the organization's tireless efforts to combat food insecurity and support local families. Meeting the Rising Demand From the outset, Andrea paints a vivid picture of the growing challenges facing the community. "Our reception area is not that large," she explains, "but this morning I came in and there were about a hundred people waiting." The surge in demand, fueled by economic pressures and government shutdowns, has left CCAP's shelves bare and its staff scrambling to meet the needs of families who are struggling to make ends meet. Beyond Food: Holistic Support However, Winchester CCAP's mission goes well beyond providing food. Andrea enthusiastically describes a range of innovative programs designed to address the root causes of hardship. The organization's clothing boutique offers free, gently used clothing to families, while the steel-toed boots and bicycle programs help remove barriers to employment. "If steel-toed boots are a barrier to work, we try and work with you to get them," Andrea says, highlighting CCAP's commitment to practical solutions. The Power of Partnerships Transitioning to the topic of collaboration, Janet and Andrea discuss the importance of partnerships with other nonprofits, local businesses, and volunteers. Whether it's sourcing firewood for families in need or sharing surplus food with neighboring pantries, CCAP leverages a network of community allies to maximize its impact. Andrea shares inspiring stories of local businesses stepping up—sometimes on a moment's notice—to provide critical resources, demonstrating the power of collective action. Stories of Resilience Throughout the conversation, Andrea shares moving anecdotes that underscore the transformative power of community support. She recounts the journey of a woman who, after receiving help from CCAP two decades ago, now owns a successful business and gives back to others. These stories, woven with empathy and hope, illustrate how a helping hand can change the trajectory of a life. How to Get Involved As the episode draws to a close, Janet and Andrea encourage listeners to get involved—whether by donating food, volunteering time, or contributing financially. "We are a deep pit of never-ending need, in a good way," Andrea laughs, emphasizing that every act of kindness strengthens the fabric of the community. Learn how you can help: https://ccapwinchester.org/  Looking Ahead Ultimately, this conversation serves as a powerful reminder that the fight against hunger and hardship is ongoing. Through innovative programs, strong partnerships, and a steadfast commitment to their mission, Winchester CCAP continues to be a beacon of hope for the Valley. As Andrea puts it, "If we help each other, we can be stronger and help the community."

"A Trap That Was Not"Mark 10:1-12Having recently completed our series “None Like Jesus” let's continue to “Behold Him” by embarking on a new study through the Gospel of Mark. Mark's Gospel is the shortest of the four Gospels and it is action-packed from start to finish – as evidenced by the word “immediately” used over 40 times. Mark wrote to believers, probably Roman believers, who were no strangers to persecution. And he wanted to disciple his readers to be strong in their faith by encouraging them to look to their Mighty Messiah, the Son of God, who remained steadfastly faithful even while becoming their Suffering Servant who died for them. Mark's Gospel is a call to all believers to fearlessly “Follow Jesus” because they can trust Him completely.

The cart carrying the body of King Rufus eventually reached the cathedral at Winchester. And if we are to believe Malmesbury,  blood had been dripping from it from the forest all the way into the Cathedral.  Though, at some point it must have stopped. I mean, even if no one… ya know… sorted it out, […] The post 486 – Stealing a Crown from your Brother first appeared on The British History Podcast.

This week on Sermon Spotlight, Caleb Pearson, Mark Francis, and Tim Sanford dig into Mark 9 and what it really means to live as a disciple of Jesus.Together they unpack the phrase “discipleship is helping another appropriate the grace of God”—and explore how humility, dependence, and intentionality are all central to following Christ. The conversation dives deep into the heart of Jesus' teaching moments with His disciples, offering a clear and practical picture of what true discipleship looks like today.Listen to the sermon we're talking about: fbcva.org/current-sermon-series or fbcva.org/podcastsBe a part of the conversation by submitting your thoughts and questions: fbcva.org/sermon-spotlight-podcastWatch this episode and subscribe on YouTube:  @fellowshipbiblechurchvaFind out more about Fellowship Bible Church: fbcva.orgSubscribe to emails from Fellowship: fbcva.org/subscribeEngage with us:Facebook: facebook.com/groups/fellowshipfamInstagram: instagram.com/fellowshipbiblechurch/   #SermonSpotlight #Transfiguration #BibleStudy #ChristianPodcast #FaithInAction #ListenToJesus #BiblicalWorldview #Scripture #JesusChrist #ChristianCommunity #ChurchPodcast #FaithJourney #GrowInFaith

One of our favorite guests is back! Ben Winchester is a rural researcher who digs into the intersection of housing, demographics, and community vitality. In this episode, we're going over some of his latest research and the trends he's seeing, and why now is the time to make plans for growing our small towns.

In this episode, we cover: How "peak death" and the baby boomer generation are reshaping rural housing markets Why the "policy of best intentions" to age in place often backfires, and how to plan around it The economic power of housing as a growth engine, not just a community need What Otter Tail County did to successfully grow its population through proactive housing investment Why "the army of the willing" drives real community change.

Every November, the aroma of sizzling pancakes and sausage fills the air in Winchester, Virginia, signaling the arrival of the much-anticipated Winchester Kiwanis Community Pancake Day. In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael talks with Kevin Brandiff, Executive Director of Froggy's Closet, and Carleton Rio, Co-chair of the event, to explore how this beloved tradition does more than just serve breakfast—it strengthens the fabric of the community. Froggy's Closet: More Than Just Supplies Kevin passionately describes the mission of Froggy's Closet, an organization founded in 2009 to support foster families and, over time, all families in need. The nonprofit provides everything from cribs and strollers to clothing, diapers, and books, ensuring that children from birth to age 18 have what they need. As the need in the community grows, so does Froggy's reach, thanks in part to the generosity of local residents and events like Community Pancake Day. Kiwanis Club: Serving Children, Supporting Causes Carleton explains that the Kiwanis Club of Winchester has a clear objective: to support organizations that benefit children. Each year, the club selects a major beneficiary for the spring and fall Pancake Day. This fall, Froggy's Closet is the recipient. The event not only raises funds but also awareness, giving organizations like Froggy's a platform to share their story and needs with the broader community. Behind the Scenes: Organizing Pancake Day Transitioning to the logistics, both guests highlight the teamwork and dedication required to pull off such a large event. With seasoned volunteers and a well-oiled committee, the Kiwanis Club ensures that everything runs smoothly—from flipping thousands of pancakes to brewing coffee in cauldrons and serving up 2,000 pounds of sausage. The event serves as a reunion for locals, a place where old friends reconnect and new friendships are forged. Giving Back: How the Community Can Help Moreover, Pancake Day is about more than just food. Attendees are encouraged to bring donations—monetary or in-kind, such as wipes, board games, and clothing—to support Froggy's Closet. The funds raised not only benefit the main recipient but also trickle down to other local organizations, amplifying the impact across Winchester and surrounding counties. A Lasting Impact As the conversation wraps up, Janet, Kevin, and Carleton reflect on the deeper meaning of Pancake Day. It's a celebration of service, tradition, and the power of community. Whether you're a first-time attendee or a seasoned volunteer, everyone leaves with a sense of belonging and the knowledge that their participation helps children and families thrive. Winchester's Kiwanis Community Pancake Day is more than a fundraiser—it's a testament to what a caring, connected community can achieve. Through the combined efforts of dedicated volunteers, generous donors, and passionate leaders, Pancake Day continues to make a difference, one plate at a time.

This inclusive approach ensures that no one is turned away during the harsh winter months. The shelter operates on a rotating basis, moving from church to church each week, with local congregations providing not only space and warmth but also meals and volunteer support. Beyond a Bed: Comprehensive Support However, WATTS offers more than just a place to sleep. Over the years, the organization has expanded its services to include day shelters and warming centers, providing guests with a safe haven around the clock. Staff and volunteers work closely with individuals to set goals, access resources, and ultimately transition out of homelessness. Whether it's helping someone reconnect with family, secure employment, or find permanent housing, WATTS is committed to supporting each guest's journey toward stability. New Initiatives: Transitional Housing and Community Partnerships This year, WATTS celebrates a significant milestone: the acquisition of a transitional home, made possible by a group of local investors. The home offers affordable rooms to individuals who are employed but unable to afford market-rate housing, giving them a crucial stepping stone toward independence. The success of this initiative has inspired the organization to seek additional properties, further expanding its impact. Moreover, WATTS has achieved a long-sought goal by partnering with a church in Shenandoah County, allowing the shelter to serve a growing population of homeless individuals in the region. This collaboration marks a new chapter in WATTS' mission, demonstrating the power of community partnerships in addressing complex social challenges. The Power of Community: Volunteers and Donations Throughout the conversation, Janet and Robyn emphasize the indispensable role of community support. Volunteers are the backbone of WATTS, assisting with everything from meal preparation to event organization. Donations—both financial and in-kind—are always needed, as the shelter covers costs for essentials like identification, transportation, and application fees for housing. Fundraising with Flavor: "Cheesin' for a Reason" To sustain its operations, WATTS hosts a variety of fundraising events. One standout is the "Cheesin' for a Reason" festival, a grilled cheese and tomato soup extravaganza featuring local restaurants and food trucks. The event not only raises funds but also brings the community together, offering families a fun way to support a worthy cause. Other initiatives, such as the Thanksgiving 5K and partnerships with local businesses, further bolster the shelter's resources. Facing Challenges, Fostering Hope Despite the many hurdles—ranging from harsh weather to the complexities of homelessness—WATTS remains steadfast in its mission. The organization's flexible, compassionate approach has helped hundreds of individuals find safety, support, and a path forward. As Robyn notes, the ultimate goal is to ensure that everyone who comes through WATTS' doors leaves with renewed hope and the tools they need to rebuild their lives. Get Involved For those inspired to help, WATTS offers numerous opportunities to volunteer, donate, or participate in upcoming events. Information is readily available on their website: https://watts-homelessshelter.org/ and social media channels. As the shelter opens its doors for another season, the message is clear: with community support, lasting change is possible.

"From the Mountain to the Mission"Mark 9:9-13Having recently completed our series “None Like Jesus” let's continue to “Behold Him” by embarking on a new study through the Gospel of Mark. Mark's Gospel is the shortest of the four Gospels and it is action-packed from start to finish – as evidenced by the word “immediately” used over 40 times. Mark wrote to believers, probably Roman believers, who were no strangers to persecution. And he wanted to disciple his readers to be strong in their faith by encouraging them to look to their Mighty Messiah, the Son of God, who remained steadfastly faithful even while becoming their Suffering Servant who died for them. Mark's Gospel is a call to all believers to fearlessly “Follow Jesus” because they can trust Him completely.

In the heart of Old Town Winchester, Winchester Little Theatre (WLT) buzzes with anticipation as the cast and crew prepare for their much-loved production of "A Christmas Carol." In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael sits down with director Sara Gomez, cast members Robert Delancey (Scrooge) and Jonathan Ryall (Bob Cratchit), and board member Tim Bambara to uncover the magic, challenges, and community spirit that bring this holiday classic to life. A Theater with Heart and History From the outset, it's clear that WLT is more than just a venue—it's a vibrant community hub. Tim, who first joined the theater three years ago, describes his journey from newcomer to board member, emphasizing the welcoming nature and high standards of the theater. “We operate with professional theater standards,” he notes, “but it's all community-driven.” Director Sara Gomez, a veteran with over 30 productions at WLT, highlights the unique challenges of staging a large-scale musical in an intimate space. She explains how the theater's size demands attention to detail, from period-accurate costumes to creative set design. “The audience is right there,” she says, “so we have to be meticulous.” Casting, Community, and Commitment The conversation shifts to the cast's experiences. Both Robert Delancey and Jonathan Ryall are reprising their roles from the previous production of "A Christmas Carol," bringing continuity and depth to their characters. Robert shares his approach to playing Scrooge, balancing tradition with personal flair, while Jonathan reflects on the joy of returning to the stage after a long hiatus, encouraged by his daughter's involvement in the theater's youth program. Open auditions and a diverse repertoire ensure that new faces are always welcome at WLT. Sara describes the thrill of seeing first-time actors blossom, regardless of their background. The theater's commitment to youth is evident in its robust kids' program, which offers both musicals and straight plays each summer, nurturing the next generation of performers. Behind the Scenes: The Art of Live Theater Transitioning from the spotlight to backstage, the cast reveals the logistical feats required to stage such a production. With a cast of 26 and limited space, every prop and costume change is choreographed to perfection. Jonathan, who chairs the set build, recounts how a single table dictated the entire set layout, underscoring the ingenuity required in community theater. Moreover, the actors discuss the unpredictability and excitement of live performance. Mistakes happen, but trust and camaraderie among the cast ensure that the show always goes on. “It's like playing sports,” Tim observes. “You trust your team to pick up the ball if something goes wrong.” Engaging the Audience—On and Off Stage WLT's intimate setting blurs the line between audience and performer. The cast delights in post-show interactions, whether it's chatting in the lobby or being recognized around town. For many, these moments of connection are as rewarding as the applause. The theater's website and social media channels keep the community informed about upcoming shows, auditions, and volunteer opportunities. As a nonprofit, WLT relies on donations and the dedication of its volunteers to sustain its mission. Looking Ahead As the curtain rises on another season, the cast and crew of Winchester Little Theater invite everyone to experience the magic of "A Christmas Carol." With a blend of tradition, innovation, and heartfelt community spirit, WLT continues to prove that local theater is alive and thriving in Winchester.  For tickets, volunteer opportunities, and more information, visit winchesterlittletheatre.org.

Janet Michael, the tireless host of The Valley Today, has reached a milestone few in broadcasting can claim: 2,500 consecutive episodes. In a special celebratory podcast, Janet welcomes Andy Gail, CEO of United Way of Northern Shenandoah Valley—and a longtime listener turned frequent guest—to reflect on the journey, share laughs, and look ahead to new adventures. From Listener to Guest: Andy's Unique Perspective Right from the start, Andy brings a playful energy, joking about his habit of listening to Janet's show before bed and his record as the most consistent guest. Their banter sets the tone for an episode filled with warmth and camaraderie. Andy, now a community leader, recalls how the show has become a staple for many, including former colleagues who still tune in and text him after his appearances. Fun Facts and Friendly Rivalries To put 2,500 episodes in perspective, Andy rattles off a series of fun facts: Janet has outpaced The Simpsons, Law & Order, and even Law & Order: SVU in episode count, though she still has a way to go to catch up with soap operas like Guiding Light. The conversation is peppered with quirky trivia—did you know it takes 2,500 honeybees to make a pound of honey, or that the average person consumes 2,500 calories a day? These playful comparisons highlight the magnitude of Janet's achievement while keeping the mood light. Behind the Scenes: The Real Work of Podcasting Transitioning from celebration to reality, Janet and Andy pull back the curtain on the work that goes into each episode. Janet reveals that producing a single show can take three to four hours, from booking guests and recording to editing out hundreds of “ums” and “uhs.” Andy marvels at the dedication, calculating that Janet has spent over 8,000 pots of coffee and nearly 9,000 hours keeping The Valley Today on the air. Their candid discussion underscores the unseen effort behind the microphone. Debates, Dishes, and Community Spirit No Valley Today episode would be complete without a spirited debate. Janet and Andy revisit classic arguments—Is cereal soup? Is a hot dog a sandwich or a taco?—and tease an upcoming podcast series focused on the best dishes in Winchester. Their friendly disagreements and shared laughter exemplify the show's unique blend of information and entertainment. Giving Back: A Fundraiser for the Community As the conversation draws to a close, Janet and Andy announce a special United Way fundraiser in honor of the 2,500th episode. Their goal: raise $2,500 by year's end to support local nonprofits. Listeners are invited to donate, participate in auctions, and even win a chance to appear on the show. The initiative reflects Janet's deep commitment to the community and her belief that even small contributions can make a big difference. Learn more here: https://givebutter.com/ValleyToday  Looking Ahead: The Streak Continues Finally, Janet shares her next goal—surpassing Cal Ripken's legendary streak of 2,632 consecutive baseball games. With her trademark humor and determination, she assures listeners that The Valley Today will be back tomorrow, ready to inform, entertain, and connect the community once again. Through laughter, reflection, and a shared sense of purpose, Janet and Andy celebrate not just a broadcasting milestone, but the enduring power of local storytelling. As The Valley Today enters its next chapter, one thing is clear: the conversation—and the coffee—will keep flowing.

If you've ever wondered why so many high school graduates seem ill-prepared for life in the real world, you aren't alone. On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, we have a powerful conversation with education innovator Ted Dintersmith where the broken state of America's education system is laid bare, and a refreshingly practical vision for the future is explored. The discussion, centered on Ted's new documentary “Multiple Choice,” makes a compelling case for reimagining high schools as launchpads for life, not just college admissions. As Ted puts it, “Imagine if the purpose of school were to prepare kids for life instead of standardized tests.” It's a simple idea with revolutionary implications. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   Ted Dintersmith on the Cost of Standardization In today's high-pressure academic environment, schools have become laser-focused on standardized testing and college prep at the expense of real-world readiness. Ted Dintersmith is unflinching in his critique: “You hold people accountable to test scores. What are they going to do? They're going to do test prep. And I think it's damaging the futures of millions and millions of kids.” The impact is startling. Curiosity, creativity, and a sense of purpose are “crushed”, replaced by a relentless treadmill of test drills and application padding. What's more, society has paradoxically managed to “make people less capable at older and older ages.” Where previous generations might have been working, serving in the military, or starting their own ventures in their teens, many of today's young adults struggle to launch. The root, according to Ted , is a model of schooling stuck in the late 19th century, one designed for a world of rote tasks, not the dynamic, creative economy of today. “We've gone from 99% of the jobs being ‘here's your assignment, do it' jobs to basically close to 0%. Now we need people to create and invent their path forward,” Ted explains. But our schools, he laments, “put that into a meat grinder” that discourages independent thought and problem-solving.   Winchester's Innovation Center: Real-World Learning for Every Student Perhaps the most hopeful moment in the conversation is Ted Dintersmith's description of the Innovation Center in Winchester, Virginia: a school that's rewriting the rules. There, every student, regardless of their academic track, participates in hands-on, career-oriented learning. From carpentry and welding to health care and artificial intelligence, the center offers a real taste of practical skills and modern technologies. What sets Winchester apart is that this isn't a program for a select few. “Every kid is spending healthy amounts of their high school time in there, in the Innovation Center,” Ted shares, highlighting how this all-in approach bridges the gap between vocational and academic pathways. Importantly, college-bound students benefit, developing resilient, adaptable skills alongside their career-focused peers. “If a kid was at a school and they optionally took welding instead of AP chemistry, an elite college would turn them down… But here, because that's what all the kids do, they say, ‘Oh, well, they kind of had to do it. I can't really ding them for that,'” - Ted Dintersmith The results are telling. Students who might have once been written off as “suboptimal” are thriving. College applicants stand out with compelling stories of real achievement. And, perhaps most importantly, the community is united in supporting all students, regardless of their background or political leanings. “The school sends a message to the community that we respect all paths, and the community comes together irrespective of where they are in a very broken country, politically. Those political views don't matter. It's like,

On this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael welcomes Elizabeth Baldwin, Unit Coordinator and Page County Associate Extension Agent, to demystify the world beneath our feet. Together, they explore why soil sampling is a game-changer for homeowners, gardeners, and farmers alike, and how understanding your soil can lead to healthier plants, cost savings, and a more sustainable environment. Why Soil Sampling Matters Elizabeth quickly set the record straight: “Dirt is misplaced soil, but soil is living.” She explains that soil testing is not just for large-scale farmers—anyone who wants a thriving lawn, garden, or pasture can benefit. Soil samples reveal the unique composition of your ground, helping you tailor fertilization and amendments to what your plants actually need. This targeted approach prevents over-fertilization, saves money, and reduces the risk of nutrient runoff polluting local waterways. The Simple Steps to Sampling Many listeners may feel intimidated by the idea of soil testing, but Baldwin reassures them: the process is straightforward. Homeowners can pick up a soil sample kit from their local extension office or participating farm stores. Using a soil probe or a simple shovel, they collect multiple small samples from different areas of their yard or garden, mix them together, and send a portion to the lab. For farmers and those selling crops, the service is free; for homeowners, it's a modest $10 investment that can pay off in healthier plants and fewer unnecessary purchases. Making Sense of the Results Once the lab processes the sample—often within a week or two—results arrive by email. Elizabeth acknowledges that the report can look like a foreign language at first, filled with abbreviations and numbers. However, she emphasizes that the most important section is the recommendations at the bottom, which translate the science into actionable steps: how much fertilizer to use, what kind, and whether to adjust soil pH with lime. The extension office stands ready to help interpret these results, ensuring that even the math-averse can confidently care for their soil. Avoiding Common Pitfalls The conversation highlights common mistakes, such as overcorrecting soil pH with household remedies like coffee grounds or wood ash. Elizabeth shares real-life stories of gardeners who inadvertently made their soil too acidic or alkaline, underscoring the importance of testing before making changes.

The legendary 270 Winchester celebrates its 100th birthday this year in 2025. So, in honor of that impressive milestone, I conduct a deep dive comparing the venerable 270 Winchester to a much newer round with a more modern design that, as you'll learn here shortly, has shockingly similar performance: the 6.5 PRC.

Both projectiles are absolutely outstanding on all manner of game at ranges inside 300 yards. You can purchase both bullets directly from the North Fork web site, from MidwayUSA, or from our network of other distributors all over the world. In this episode of The Big Game Hunting Podcast, host John McAdams discusses the 6.5 PRC vs 270 Winchester. John conducts a deep dive on both cartridges, shows how modern bullets have dramatically improved the performance of the 270 Winchester at extended range, and compares how both rounds perform in several ballistic gel tests. John's takeaway? Both cartridges are capable of almost shockingly similar performance, but the 270 Winchester and 6.5 PRC are each ideally suited for specific niches and interests. As you'll learn, most hunters will be served well by either one though. Please hit that "SUBSCRIBE" or "FOLLOW" button in your podcast app to receive future episodes automatically!
