2024 Valleyan of the Year

by Ima Phibber

2024 has been a great year for The Valley and the SRVO. It’s a great time to live, work, and play in The Valley. It’s that time of year that we recognize the Valleyan of the Year award. This award is given to a Valleyan that has made a significant positive impact on The Valley and its residents. It’s very subjective, but we make sure it’s never politically influenced. It has become a coveted and prestigious award.

We have some great candidates for the award this year, and they’re listed below. We’ve included a brief description of their impact along with our stories.

• Andy Fife and Barney Griffith– They courageously squashed a pro-Palestinian protest at Valley Tech. Read the story HERE.

• Col. Dwight Patton– He created a unique summer camp called Camp Ayntnocissy to fight the softness of today’s kids. Read the story HERE.

• Dr. Siggy Froyd– He diagnosed a new mental disorder called climate dysphoria disorder (CDD) affecting many of our kids today. Read the story HERE.
