‘We need your help’: Amelia County Food Pantry in need of new roof
SUMMARY: The Amelia County Food Pantry, located at the Church of Christ Apostolic Church in Jetersville, urgently needs a new roof due to leaks and extensive damage. Despite previous repair efforts, the 85-year-old building’s flat roof causes water to accumulate, worsening the problem. The estimated cost of a new roof is $44,000, and the pantry, which has operated solely on donations for over 30 years, is seeking financial support. Volunteers of all ages help provide meals and necessities to the community. The pantry is calling on professional roofers or anyone who can help to continue their mission of feeding the hungry in Amelia County.

For more than 30 years, the Amelia County Food Pantry has been helping others. Now, they are asking the community for help to keep their building safe.

Will Washington Commanders see a slump?
SUMMARY: The Washington Commanders are not expected to experience a sophomore slump despite their tough schedule. The team is mature, with experienced players like Bobby Wagner and Marshon Latimore mentoring younger members. On offense, leaders like Laramie Tunsil and Sam Cosmi add valuable stability. Unlike the 2023 Philadelphia Eagles, who struggled late partly due to coaching changes, the Commanders have retained their key coaches—defensive coordinator DQ and offensive coordinator Cliff Kingsbury—ensuring continuity. While other teams have adjusted to Jalen Daniels’s style, the Commanders’ defense remains strong, especially with a consistent coaching staff guiding them.

Will the Washington Commanders see a sophomore slump this season? We discussed the tough schedule ahead during the latest Sports Overtime podcast.

MedStar Washington doctor on Joe Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis and screenings | NBC4 Washington
SUMMARY: Former President Joe Biden, 82, has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones. His office confirmed the diagnosis following increasing urinary symptoms. Doctors are considering multiple treatment options, including hormone therapy, as the cancer is hormone-sensitive. Dr. Jonathan Wong, an expert in urology, noted that while this type of cancer is aggressive, hormone suppression can manage it, potentially keeping it in remission for an extended period. Biden’s age may complicate treatment, but the priority is controlling the cancer. Wong emphasized the importance of prostate cancer screening for men, especially those with a long life expectancy.

Former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with a more aggressive form of prostate cancer, his office announced. News4’s Tony Perkins, who underwent treatment for prostate cancer earlier this year, sat down with Dr. Jonathan Hwang, his surgeon at MedStar Washington Hospital Center, to learn more about the disease and who should ask for screenings.

Staying safe during snake season
SUMMARY: As snake sightings increase with rising temperatures in central Virginia, experts advise caution during snake season. Snakes, including venomous copperheads, are common everywhere, especially in yards with long grass, leaves, or brush piles. There are no products that effectively repel snakes, but keeping yards manicured and minimizing rodent populations can reduce encounters. Copperheads are shy and generally avoid confrontation—if spotted, simply walk away. Pet owners should keep animals leashed and teach children snake safety. If bitten, seek immediate medical attention. For identification help, call the 24-hour Virginia Wildlife Management and Control hotline at 804-617-7086.

As the temperature rises, so do snake sightings in Central Virginia.
