SUMMARY:Sowing Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:Chris Gorman’s lifelong dedication to agriculture began in childhood\, working alongside his father and grandfather at Harmony Hill Farm. His curiosity and commitment to learning every aspect of farm operations led him to take on increasing responsibility\, including decision-making roles focused on expanding production and implementing best management practices. Chris is especially committed to environmental stewardship\, ensuring the farm’s operations are sustainable and beneficial to the land. Heather Gorman joined the agricultural community when she married Chris in 2011. \nDespite not having a farming background\, Heather quickly immersed herself in all aspects of Harmony Hill Farm’s operations. She learned to raise beef cattle\, manage hay and crop production\, and actively participate in conservation initiatives. Heather brought new ideas to the farm\, including beehives and goat milk soap\, diversifying offerings and supporting sustainability. Harmony Hill Farm LLC operates as a for-profit enterprise\, maintaining Black Angus cattle\, laying hens\, dairy goats\, and beehives. The farm is committed to innovation and collaboration\, hosting a doctoral student from West Virginia University to study native grasses and carbon capture. Responding to climate change\, Chris and Heather experimented with annual grasses to maintain livestock health during drought and shared their research with local producers and universities. \nCommunity service is central to the Gorman’s’ philosophy. They are active members of the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce and Farm Bureau. Heather is deeply involved in youth development through 4H and Girl Scouts. Their dedication to sustainable agriculture\, innovation\, and community involvement exemplifies their commitment to both the land and the people of Jefferson County.

SUMMARY:More Than a Crown: My Journey to Miss West Virginia 2026
DESCRIPTION:MBA student\, college recruiter\, two-time National Dance Alliance Collegiate Champion\, and WV Physical Activity Plan Ambassador\, Elizabeth Romanek of Wheeling added Miss West Virginia 2026 to her list of accomplishments. First up on her agenda is to motivate\, optimize\, vitalize\, and energize all West Virginians to move in ways that best suit them through her community service initiative\, MO.V.E. M.O.V.E. (motivate\, optimize\, vitalize\, energize) is particularly significant in West Virginia\, where the obesity rate is 41.2%\, the highest among all 50 states. Due to obesity and chronic diseases\, West Virginia consistently ranks the lowest in life expectancy compared to other states. Therefore\, her goal of promoting a healthier West Virginia through movement is essential. Elizabeth is dedicated to organizing wellness clubs and after-school activities to encourage movement and keep kids active. As a competitive dancer during her childhood\, Elizabeth was introduced to movement at an early age\, which shaped not only her health but also her confidence and discipline. M.O.V.E. focuses on vitality\, aiming to provide similar positive experiences for other young individuals. A Summa Cum Laude West Virginia University graduate\, Elizabeth earned a degree in Marketing to connect with people and engage in creative communication. She is now pursuing a Master of Business Administration and serving as the Assistant Director of Admission and Recruitment Events at Bethany College\, guiding young people in their pursuit of higher education.
