Growth @ Rio, Gold Star Parents, A WV Healer and A Great Beef Story

Last fall we aired a special gold star family segment as part of Gold Star Family Awareness Month. The last Sunday of September is recognized as Gold Star Mothers and Families Day in West Virginia. In honor of that, At the Leadership Table with General Hoyer were veteran advocates and Gold Star Parents Shirley and Stan White. They discussed what a Gold Star Family really is and offer insight into several important initiatives going on throughout the state to help support veterans and military families.

In the Rooted in the Mountain State for the department of agriculture we will replay a segment on Mountain Steer Meat Company outside of Lewisburg WV. As local sourcing of food becomes a major concern in this country you learn how this local business is building an organization to meet that concern.

Just outside of Gallipolis Ohio is the University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College. Unlike many small institutions of higher learning this school is growing and thriving. This fall they are bringing back football and there is an amazing amount of capital investment. I talked with Ryan Smith who is President and number one cheerleader for his school.

Do you watch the show Outlander? A larger portion of the show is set in Scotland and the American colonies in the 1700s. Instead of doctors, they have healers who use roots and herbs to help fight illness. In this next segment we will replay Tom Susman’s discussion with a West Virginia healer.
