Weekly YouTube show dives into various issues, sites and events in the Page Valley

By Randy Arrington

LURAY, Nov. 6 — This week we sit down with Lou Podrasky to learn about the Jail MAT Recovery and Re-Entry Program run through the Page County Sheriff’s Office for inmates at the Page County Jail. Podrasky and four other staff members use federal grant money to help provide therapy, counseling and related services to inmates struggling with addiction and later on re-entry back into the community. We’ll talk about the need for this service in the Page Valley, and whether or not it’s making a dent in the problem.

(Page Valley Livin’~Episode 93 was recorded Wednesday, Nov. 5, and aired Thursday, Nov. 6, 2025).

Coming up on Page Valley Livin’… we will be visiting with a Vietnam veteran and previewing a special community tradition at Thanksgiving.

The aim and purpose of these videos is to provide more information about more things that make up the wonderful place we call the Page Valley of Virginia. Serious issues will be handled seriously, while lighter issues may offer more opportunity to have some fun. There is no theme or agenda other than promoting the Page Valley, and trying to better inform the people who both live here and those who love to visit.
