  Speaker 2: And COVID is still a thing. People forget about it
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: that they thought it was. It's gone the way of
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: some of these other diseases, which sadly enough, some of
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: them are coming back now. But that's another story for
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: another time. But you text me and you said you
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: had COVID. I was like, man, who gets COVID anymore?
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: But apparently a lot of people do, and you got it.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: I did. I test a positive Sunday night.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: All right. But you're doing better now, right, Yeah, doing
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: much better?
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: So what's explain to us? And I know we've got
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: a few things we want to talk about, Jason, want
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: to try to you know, not to not tax your
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: voice too much, but let's talk about what the last
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks have been like for Union Mission, you know,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: with the with the government to shut down. And of
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: course you guys already do a fantastic job of providing
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: various needs for people here in the Kanal Valley and
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: all over, but what's the last couple of weeks been
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: like for you guys?
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: Very chaotic? Actually. Through our Family Service Department, we serve
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: about twelve families a day. We provide about two weeks
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: of food for those twelve families. About a week into
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: the shutdown, we ramped up to fifteen different families, and
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: then less than a week we ramped up to eighteen
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: eighteen families a day. We were week so that equates
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: to a little over one thousand people a month we're
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: trying to feed. It's been pretty pretty chaotic. We're about
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: booked about two weeks out. But in emergency situations, we
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: are getting people in immediately.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Talk about the services that you provide. When you say
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: you take care of these families, what all are we
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: talking about here.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: Jason, Yeah, so our Family Service Department TAL we take
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: care of house fires. We help people in situations that
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: are there, they're out of job and they need food.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: We will provide food for them immediately. If they've had
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: a house fire, we put them up into hotels, provided
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: food cards so they can eat at restaurants. We try
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: to provide really really good, solid, nourishing food for them.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: And so a combinment of things that we try to
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: do to help people that are in need.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: And that's kind of where what the last couple of
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: weeks have been like. And of course the government shut
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: down all appearances, looks like it's going to come to
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: an end with a house vote. I think it's a
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: four o'clock or so this afternoon, So, but it's still
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: going to take a little while to recover from all that, right.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, most definitely we're prepared for that, all right.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Well, you guys, as I said, always do a fantastic job.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: That's why we're glad to partner with you on certain things.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: All right. So now, as if this time of year
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: with a shutdown and everything, you know, that didn't make
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: it chaotic enough, this is your I mean, all twelve
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: months are your busy time, but this is your really
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: busy time as we head into Thanksgiving and Christmas.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we are one of our biggest events of the
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: year's Stick Bash that's Thanksgiving morning. We were in heavy
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: planning mode for that. We've got about six hundred runners
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: that are signed up already for that, and pretty excited
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: for our Drumstack Dash. And we got Christmas. We're providing
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: Christmas Christmas for Fallster kids this year all over the
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: state of West Virginia. Really pumped for that. So we
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: got a lot going on. It's a terrible time to
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: get sick, but we have a lot going on and
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: pretty excited about that.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Your co workers would say that Quinchrell do anything to
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: try to get out of work.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: You know, I've heard that three times this week.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: I know you, man, and I'll tell you when we
• 6:08

• 6:18
  Speaker 2: a little jab between buddies right there, because it's nothing
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: really could be further from the truth. I want to
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: go back to the to the drumstick dash. How many

• 14:09
  Speaker 5: many know the rest of the story. I mean, he
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: team folded about nine games into it. He was playing
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: for the Washington Capitals and they folded. So then he
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: got drafted into the Army. He always told me I
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: was the only guy got drafted twice in the same year,
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: and so.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: One good, one bad exactly, well, not bad, but won
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: a little bit more difficult than him.
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: How's that correct. So he spent a year and a half,
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: two years in the Army. Then when he comes out,
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: the Syracuse Nationals pick him up. Syracuse Nationals are now
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: the Philadelphia seventy six ers as they moved the franchise.
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: But in nineteen fifty five, he and a guy by
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: the name of Jim Tucker become the first two black
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: players to win NBA Championship. And then he went on
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: to finish his career with the Detroit Pistons, becomes the
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: first black assistant coach in the NBA, and then they
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: fired the head coach and he becomes the first black
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: old time bench head coach in the NBA that was black. Now,
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: the year before that, Bill Russell was a player slash coach,
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: So he was coaching, but he was still playing, right,
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: wouldn't everybody like to do that? Yeah, be a player
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: and coach your team. I'm taking every shot.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: It's exactly right.
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: But that's that's you know, Earl's earls. You know, he's
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: there first, and so many things and in in in
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: the NBA. He also went on to be one of
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: the first black executives with Chriser Corporation. I mean, so
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: this guy was a phenomenon.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: He was talking about a trailblazer. I mean, most people
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: are lucky if they get one or two remarkable things
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: in their life. That's lay from from you know, the
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: NBA and what he did at State and then the
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: different teams is with and coach and general manager, and
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: then to totally pivot and become a business executive.
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, and then he worked under Dave BEng when Dave
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: bing was the mayor of Detroit as well, so he
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: was kind of the liaison between the police and the
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: black community in Detroit and with the education. So I mean,
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: this guy, if you really look at him, I mean,
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: and the thing that was even better than all that,
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: you know, I can say all that and how great
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: all that is is. I got a chance to meet
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: him in two thousand and four when we retired his
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: jersey and then became very close friends. Spent a lot
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: of time together in a lot of different events over
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: ten years, and he was just a special human being,
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: more so than just being a pioneer. I mean, he
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: was just he was He was a diamond, and I
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: was thankful enough that I got to spend a lot
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: of time with him.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Talk about that time you spent with him. That had
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: many cases I have nothing to do with basketball and
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: the friendship that you guys forged.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: Absolutely. You know, he had a stroke a few years
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: before he passed away, and so that kind of scared
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: me a little bit. And I called Charleed and I said, hey,
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: you as soon as he gets back on his feet,
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: I need to come down there and spend some time
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: with him.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: And where was this was it?
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: That was in Crossfield, Tennessee. And that's where he ended
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: up retiring from Alexander Virginia, went to West Virginia State,
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: finished his career in Detroit, and ended up in Crossfield, Tennessee.
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: He said, a few people from Detroit, a couple of
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: couples there. They went down there in vacation to end
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: up buying a timeshare and then that turned into a lot,
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: and then he built a house there. So that's where
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: he ended up, you know, retiring at and where he
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: passed away. But you know, my dad and I drove
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: down and spent the night with him and was in
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: his den actually watching. This was in June May June,
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: and I remember vividly Oklahoma City was playing San Antonio
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: Spurs in the NBA playoffs and I'm sitting here with
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: Earl Lloyd, just you know, talking life and talking basketball.
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: And you know what's crazy is when we went back
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: a few years later to start documentary that we've got
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: done and hopefully we'll be released soon. I didn't recognize
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: it when I was down there the first time, But
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: when I went back the second time, nowhere in his
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: home was one picture, one ball, one trophy, one book,
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: one anything displayed that ever told you played basketball, let
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: alone that he's in the Natesmith Basketball Hall of Fame
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: and that he's the first black player to ever play
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: an NBA. Nothing was displayed in his home. That's how
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: humble this guy was. And we're going through his home
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: and getting some b roll footage and Kevin opens up
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: the door to a closet in the den that I
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: was sitting in a few years back watching basketball. In
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: the floor of his closet was his Naatesmith Basketball Hall
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: of Fame trophy.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: Now, I promise you most people, Charles Barkley, for one,
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: I would say, has got that trophy at his centerpiece
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: and a light shining down on it. Take the kid's
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: pictures down if you have to, Oh, absolutely, But Earl
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: was just that way. I mean, he was just a
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: special human being.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: I cot the coach Brian Port for Western State about
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Earl Lloyd talk about that documentary because I know I've had,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: like I said, you've been on a couple of times.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: We talked about the issues of trying to get this
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: documentary out. So give us an update on that.
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, the money guy behind it. You know,
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: documentaries don't make a whole lot of money, but the
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: money guy behind it has kind of got it held
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: up right Now, Coodymans was one of the producers, and
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: so Coody Simmons' names probably you know, is going to
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: be recognizable by a few people. He did the Benji
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: thirty on thirty on ESPN called Benji, and he also
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: did the four part docu series on Kanye West that
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: was released a couple of years ago. So, I mean,
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: Cooty's a good producer, and and the film's good. I mean,
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: Carmelo's in it, and Kawhi Leonard is in it, and
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: Oscar Robertson's in it, and so and the guy behind it.
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think he had good wishes. He wanted
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: to get it out to the inner cities and have everybody,
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: all the inner city youth be able to see it
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: for free. And it was really done right before COVID,
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: and then COVID hit and then that backed everything up,
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: and now we've just not been able to get it
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: released all.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Right, But we are hoping that because I mean, this
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: is a story, Coach that I think needs to be told.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: And I know you guys are doing it for your
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: players to come to State, and we'll talk about that
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: a little bit later on, but it needs to go everywhere. Anybody,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, everybody did a kid that I don't, And
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: I really don't know what Earl's growing up was. Like
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: you probably know more about that than I do. But
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to say, even if he came from
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: the wealthiest of backgrounds, being an African American at that
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: time in America and coming of age during the you know,
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: the beginnings of the of the civil rights movement, when
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: there's still a whole lot of prejudice, to go on
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: to play in the NBA, to coach in the NBA,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: to do what he did with Chrysler and later with
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: the City of Detroit. I mean, people need to hear
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: the story. And when you talk, you were talking about
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: the people that's on the documentary, the fact that Carmelo,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Anthony and the others that they know the story is promising.
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: It is, It definitely is. And you know, Earle always
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: deflected to Jackie. I mean he always anytime I ask
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: you about it, because Jackie did it before me. Jackie Robinson.
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: Jackie Robinson we're talking about. And of course everybody knows
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: Jackie by one name. He's got a movie forty two
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: out and all those things. But I used to always
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: tell Earl, I mean you went through the same hardships.
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: I mean you didn't stay in the same hotels as
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: the white players or eating the same restaurants as the
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: white players. And they even when he was with Syracuse,
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: they had an exhibition game in South Carolina, and South
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: Carolina said, yeah, we'll host the game, but you cannot
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: bring Earl Lloyd. Not he can't play, you can't bring
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: Earl Lloyd. And so you know, he went through hardships
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: like that, So he had every reason to be managed
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: the world right with what he went through. Not Earl
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: the exact opposite. I mean, he was just such a
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: nice guy. And just like I say, every time I
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: talked to him, he never talked about himself. He always, hey,
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: how's your family? Want to know about my dad and
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: my kids? And so he, like I say, he was
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: a special guy.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Talked to coach Brian Poor West Virginia State University of
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: The Dave Island Show and five Vidyline brought to you
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: part by Pinnacle Consultants. Their services involved developing comprehensive management plans,
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: outline strategies for controlling and minimizing his best exposure, perfect
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: for commercial property owners and managers check out Pinnacle Corp.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Dot new because what you don't know can't hurt you.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Which when you have players that come on to campus
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: and some from West Virginia stufferm out of the state,
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: what does what do you do as a coach and
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: what does the institution do do to make sure that
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: people know the story of Earl Lloyd, whether they're playing
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: basketball or not the average student comes on campus. What
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: goes into that, well, a couple of things.
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: First off, I mean every phone call I have with recruit,
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: that's one of the first topics I bring up. And
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: you know, because I want to educate the young and
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: so it's crazy because I ask all of them, you know,
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: who's the first African American ever played in the NBA.
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: Not one has ever got it right, not one ever,
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: And so you know, that tells you that this story
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: needs to be told. And then also back in twenty fourteen,
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: when we open up our new arena, the Walker Commocation Center,
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: I was fortunate enough to have met a guy by
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: name of Brian Hanlan. And Brian Hanlan was the official
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: sculptor of the NBA. And so Brian and I met
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: in New Orleans at the Final four in twenty twelve,
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: only because my wife wanted to go to New Orleans,
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: or else I wouldn't have even went to the Final
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: four that year, but because she wanted to go, then
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: I end up in New Orleans. I meet Brian Handlin,
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: I see one of the statue that he did of Shack,
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: and I get him involved with this. He charges us
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: nothing for his artistic work because he knew Earl Lloyd
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: and got to know him when Earl was inducted into
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: Hall of Fame. And so the statue is in our lobby.
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: Every recruit comes in, that's one of the first things
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: that we go see. And even in our missions department
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: on the campus tours, they always bring them by and
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: show them the Earloyd statue.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: And I think that's so important that young people, no
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: matter what the story is, whether it's Earl Lloyd or
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: whatever coach, I mean that young people need to know
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: that the foundation for what they are allowed to do
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: today was that was forged by somebody generations.
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: Absolutely absolutely, And you know, for a long time, the
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: NBA brought him in while he could still travel and
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: all that brought him in to meet with the rookies
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: and so he kind of shared their story with them,
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: but everything says.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Something about him right there. Coach is that the NBA,
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: you know, because you know, in the world of sports,
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: you got people that you want the young guys around,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: and you got people that you don't necessarily want to
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: random and this happens frequently in the NFL and other
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: sports as well. Let's say, okay, we got rookies coming in.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: We want you to try to model yourself after these people,
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: not necessarily that guy. So we're gonna put some positive
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: people out in front of him.
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: Absolutely. And Jim Tucker was the other African American that
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: was on Syracuse Nationals team when they won the NBA
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: championship in fifty five. And Jim was younger than Earl,
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: probably four or five years younger than the Earl. Jim
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: came up when we unveiled the statue as well. He
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: has since passed away, but Jim tells the story of
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: how Earl was really kind of his mentor and kind
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: of you know, led him. Earl always made him dress up,
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: he said, all the time when they were on the road,
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: Earl was in a suit and tie because Earl says,
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: I'm not going to give them anything negative to say
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: about me, They're going to say enough about me anyway.
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: I'm not going to give them anything negative to say
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: about me. So I'm gonna be dressed first class. I'm
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: gonna act first class. And Jim was more of an
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: outgoing kind of out in the clubs and all that
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: kind of things than he used to always say. Man,
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: Earl would go to listen to some jazz in certain
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: towns that he knew was safe, but he would always say,
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: you know, Earl would say, all right, Jim, let's go,
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: time to get out of here. And so he'd take
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: Jim home. And so that was just an Earl. I mean,
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: he was he was a leader and he knew right,
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: you know, right from wrong, and we're lucky enough to
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: have him be the guy that broke the color barrier
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: in my estimation.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: So talk about what's going on this weekend.
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: Earl Lloyd Classic year ten I believe this year. And
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: so we started this, like I say, ten years ago.
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: Our president at the time, doctor Henpeel, wanted us to
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: pay homage to our heritage in the Sea Double A
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: when Earl played here. That's where the team played Westernion
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: State played in the CW Double A. So we always
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: bring in one other conference team and then two teams
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: from the SEAT double A, and so we have this
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: year we have Livingstone and Clafland University coming in from
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: the CI, and then we have Glenville State is going
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: to be there from the Mountain East. So on Friday,
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: the games will be at five thirty, seven thirty, and
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: then Saturday at two and four. We play the late
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: games on both those days, so we'll play at seven
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: thirty on Friday and four o'clock on Saturday.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Is there an effort when these teams come in, especially
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Mcglenville's one thing, but maybe some other teams that aren't
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: familiar with the story. Is there a little education that
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: goes on with them? I mean, because you know this
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: time of year, as you well know, coach, I mean,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: you're playing some kind of a tournament or shootout all
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: the time named after this person or that person. Maybe
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: they know who the person is, maybe they don't. Is
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: there an effort to maybe for these outside teams to say, here,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: here's you got that name on your shirt now as
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: a T shirt as a reminder, here's who this person was.
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Absolutely, and especially Livingstone's coach, Coach Stintson, he's an
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: older coach and he comes back every year and he says,
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: I come back for Earl Lloyd. And so I know
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: he shares it with his team and Breon down at
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: Claughland this year. I'm sure he will too. But they
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: all come in through the lobby. And this year is
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: the seventy five year anniversary of Earl playing in the game,
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: being twenty twenty five, and he played in nineteen fifty.
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: So the NBA has got behind it. This shirt I'm
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: wearing here, the NBA has paid for and given to
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: all the participants.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Let's got other names on it too.
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: It does because the pioneers. You know, a lot of
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: people will say Chuck Cooper, you know, the first black
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: player to play in the NBA, Chuck Cooper. Well that's
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: not true. Chuck Cooper was the first black player to
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: get drafted. He was drafted in the second round by
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: the Boston Celtics. Now the minute thing that hardly anybody knows.
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: Chuck Cooper was at West Virginia State as a freshman
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: and he was only there for first semester. He got
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: drafted into the Army. After his two years. He ends
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: up going to Ducane, which is where he was from Pittsburgh.
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: And then Sweetwater Clifton is the other one that's on
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: the shirt. And Sweetwater Clifton was the Xavier University in
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: Louisiana and hbcuar there, but he was playing for the
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: Harlem Globetrotters. And so Sweetwater was the first black player
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: to sign an NBA contract. So the NBA has really
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: been promoting all year.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Tell the story. You really got to tell all three.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: I mean you do, yeah, you do.
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: Just the way the schedule fell because Earl was drafted,
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: I believe in the ninth round. I think this is
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: like the hundredth pick and so, but the way the
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: schedule fell October thirty first, nineteen fifty, who was the
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: first to play.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine with the modern athletes having to have
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: that hangover their head that they may be drafted. I mean,
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: you know, the nineteen twenty year old athletes hot shot
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: And I'm not trying to, you know, ship cast any
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: negative light on on modern athletes. Many would be the
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: first to step up and say let's go. But it's
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: a different world. I mean, I don't know if the
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: young guys and girls, for that well, you know, guys,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: I guess they don't understand that, you know, you meant
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: to put down the basketball or the football or the
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: baseball and go to a foreign land.
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: Yes, absolutely back then and when Earl the Korean War
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: was going on and so that was what And Earl
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: actually didn't go overseas, but and he played some army ball, Dad,
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: you know, armball and what to have you spend a
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: year and a half. But you know, and Chuck Cooper,
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: I mean he got his college education interrupted. I mean
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: he's he's a freshman first semester and they're like, uh,
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: you got to go to the army. So it's definitely
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: a different time, Coach.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Forard, it's always a pleasure to have you on the
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: show to tell the Earl Lloyds story. And our hope
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: is that every any time we have you on that
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: somebody hears it that didn't know the story, and hope
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: that you can go out and take in some great
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: basketball this weekend and keep us updated on the documentary.

• 33:53
  Speaker 2: County Commission to something as in the change over there
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: with Coach Poor that you guys are going to at
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: some point going to bring this up about having an
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Earl Lloyd Day in County. We definitely should do that.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's a big deal. It is a very
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: very big deal. And I've had Coach Poor on a
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: couple of times been to talk about the story of
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Earl Lloyd because so many people, I think, and I
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: don't want to make it sound like Epickon'm young people.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about people our age don't know about Earl Lloyd.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, think about this. Okay again, you
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: know what he did at West Virginia State, military veteran,
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: first black player to suit up in a game, first
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: black assistant coach, first see he was. After the coaching,
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: he went on to a successful business career, high ranking
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: official with Chrysler Motor Corporation in Detroit, Executive assistant to
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: the Mayor of Detroit. And that's that's pretty impressible, and
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: all from a kid that played at West Virginia State.
• 34:53
  Speaker 14: It's funny because I didn't know anything about Earl Lloyd
• 34:56
  Speaker 14: until I was actually on campus at Westernion State and
• 34:59
  Speaker 14: saw the at you now whatever. I started reading about it,
• 35:02
  Speaker 14: and that's that was probably seven or eight years ago. Yeah,
• 35:06
  Speaker 14: well or six years ago, but it was. It was
• 35:08
  Speaker 14: definitely not before that.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Well, they're trying to get that documentary finished. There's been
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: some financial issues that got delayed by COVID. But I
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: think it's a story Ben that I mean, you talk
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: I'm a sports documentary. Not if it says thirty thirty
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: for thirty I'll watch it no matter what. I've got
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: a bank of I'm recorded as a matter of fact.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: But I love this stuff. But you talk about a great,
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: a great story that everybody needed to see. Even if
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: you're not a this is not a sports story. I mean,
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: this is a story of triumph and overcoming and so
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: on and so forth. So even if you're not a
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: basketball person, this definitely, definitely would be something that everybody
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: needs to check out.
• 35:39
  Speaker 14: Yeah, basketball was just kind of a way for him
• 35:41
  Speaker 14: to get out there. By the time, you know, and
• 35:45
  Speaker 14: then he's been successful in everything that he did.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: He would have been a success, I think no matter
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: if he never picked up a basketball, that's right, that's
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: kind of the way I look at him, all right,
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: So it's the subject that will not go away.
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: Ben.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: It's it's Halloween, particularly it's November talking about Halle because
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: us you guys did something last week related to this,
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: particularly Trick or Treat two weeks ago. Trick or Treat
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: for Canawan County, originally schedule for Thursday night, got moved
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: to the actual Halloween night on Friday night, and you
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: joked on the show that day. I think we had
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: you on maybe the day after the announcement, so maybe Wednesday.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: I think you were on the show that day. You
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: joked in you said, and I think your words were,
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: we just need to move Trick or Treating to October
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: thirty first, no matter what. And I guess the other
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: commissioners were on board.
• 36:27
  Speaker 14: They were, and so so you know, it's a thing.
• 36:30
  Speaker 14: It's not a criticism of what the commission has done
• 36:32
  Speaker 14: in the past, because I think there are very valid
• 36:35
  Speaker 14: reasons to try to keep it off of a Friday
• 36:38
  Speaker 14: or Saturday. And honestly, a lot of people were upset
• 36:40
  Speaker 14: that it's eventually going to be on a Sunday. But
• 36:44
  Speaker 14: you want to make sure that you're doing all you
• 36:45
  Speaker 14: can to protect the kids. But at the end of
• 36:48
  Speaker 14: the day, I think that it needs to be the
• 36:51
  Speaker 14: parent's responsibility. If it's raining, you don't need the county
• 36:54
  Speaker 14: commission to tell you, oh, keep your kid inside, that's
• 36:57
  Speaker 14: something the parents can do. If it's snowing, if it's cold,
• 37:01
  Speaker 14: you don't need the county commission to say, oh, it's
• 37:03
  Speaker 14: way too cold for your kid to be outside.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: That's crazy.
• 37:07
  Speaker 14: It's the parents and you want if you want to
• 37:08
  Speaker 14: take your kid out trick or treating and it's snowing
• 37:10
  Speaker 14: or it's raining, take them. And it's not necessarily going
• 37:14
  Speaker 14: to be on a Thursday night or a Wednesday night
• 37:17
  Speaker 14: like we had done in the past. It's going to
• 37:18
  Speaker 14: be whenever the thirty first is.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: And we we talked about that before, because you're not
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: gonna make everybody happy. I mean, people don't want it
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: on Wednesday night because in many areas it's church night.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: They don't want it on Thursday night because it's middle
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: school basketball or middle school sports football, football, I mean Friday,
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: they don't want it because it's high school Saturday. The
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: thing was is that, well, we don't want them out
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: when all the people are going to the bars, and
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: we don't want it on Sunday. But you're saying, going forward,
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: barring anything that trigger, treat in Kanan County will be
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: held on the thirty first.
• 37:46
  Speaker 14: Thirty first, And you know, I was thinking about it
• 37:48
  Speaker 14: and I don't remember. I guess it's been so long
• 37:50
  Speaker 14: when I when I was growing up, I don't remember
• 37:52
  Speaker 14: them bouncing the day around. It was always on the
• 37:55
  Speaker 14: thirty first, and I don't remember, you know, I don't
• 37:58
  Speaker 14: remember trick or treating on a Sunday or mattering that
• 38:01
  Speaker 14: it was.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: On a Sunday.
• 38:03
  Speaker 14: A lot of people go to church in the mornings,
• 38:04
  Speaker 14: you know, and they'll have maybe a family gathering at
• 38:06
  Speaker 14: noon or something, but it's going to be six to
• 38:09
  Speaker 14: eight pm on the thirty first. It doesn't matter what
• 38:10
  Speaker 14: day it's going to fall on. And it's going to
• 38:13
  Speaker 14: take a major, major event for that to be moved
• 38:18
  Speaker 14: because one of the things, and there's some validity. And
• 38:22
  Speaker 14: by the way, I did some research to Google, was
• 38:25
  Speaker 14: my friend. I tried to figure out exactly what other
• 38:26
  Speaker 14: communities were doing, and primarily they just hold on the
• 38:29
  Speaker 14: thirty first all across the country. So I think a
• 38:34
  Speaker 14: lot of people were anticipating it being on Thursday. Some
• 38:37
  Speaker 14: people had to take off work. Now The truth is,
• 38:40
  Speaker 14: the weather came in. It wasn't nearly as bad as
• 38:43
  Speaker 14: we were predicting. But you know, trying to predict the
• 38:47
  Speaker 14: weather and move an event like that when parents are
• 38:49
  Speaker 14: taking the day off or the evening off from work
• 38:51
  Speaker 14: to take their kids trick or treating, to move it
• 38:53
  Speaker 14: to Friday, I gotta be honest with you. On Thursday,
• 38:56
  Speaker 14: it was three pm. I was sitting in my office
• 38:57
  Speaker 14: and I looked out the window and it was And
• 39:01
  Speaker 14: so I called a couple of my meteorology friends and
• 39:04
  Speaker 14: I was like, look, is this gonna happen or not,
• 39:06
  Speaker 14: because if it doesn't happen, I'm gonna have to like
• 39:08
  Speaker 14: list my house and move out of town. And they said,
• 39:11
  Speaker 14: oh no, just wait, it's happening. It's happening. And you know,
• 39:14
  Speaker 14: we got some weather. It wasn't as bad as we
• 39:15
  Speaker 14: thought it was going to be, particularly the wind, which
• 39:17
  Speaker 14: is what I was worried about. Forty forty mine hour winds,
• 39:20
  Speaker 14: kids out trick or treating. You know, tree branch is falling,
• 39:23
  Speaker 14: drivers having trouble with visibility. That's what I was worried about.
• 39:27
  Speaker 14: So then we moved to Friday. Friday was a was
• 39:29
  Speaker 14: a perfect weather day for trick or treat. But honestly,
• 39:34
  Speaker 14: I probably could have had it on Thursday anyway. All right,
• 39:36
  Speaker 14: so going forward, no matter what it is. The thirty first, okay,
• 39:39
  Speaker 14: is a third and again and.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: We had a text here somebody said about it being
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: on a Sunday, even if it's on a Sunday.
• 39:44
  Speaker 14: Even on a Sunday. And I will tell you now,
• 39:46
  Speaker 14: so go ahead and prepare for it now. October thirty
• 39:50
  Speaker 14: one of twenty twenty seven is a Sunday, So go
• 39:55
  Speaker 14: ahead and prepare for it. If your kids you don't
• 39:57
  Speaker 14: want them trick or treating on Sunday, take them to
• 39:59
  Speaker 14: a trunk or treat earlier in the week. But you've
• 40:01
  Speaker 14: got two years notice to deal with it, right.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: And I said, the thing that's the most ridiculous thing
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: about this, to be Ben, and I promise we're going
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: to move on, is that the fake You could trick
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: or treat anytime you want. You don't need the I
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: mean you want to, you know, because there's extra law
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: enforcement officers and so on and so forth that you
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: want to put into play emergency Everson, But you could
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: trigger treat anytime you want. There's no tricker treat police.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: You know what I and I'm gonna be honest. I
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: was Friday night during Trick or Treat. I was a
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: nervous wreck.
• 40:34
  Speaker 14: I kept thinking that it's high school football. You've got
• 40:38
  Speaker 14: people there, you know. We move trick or treat and
• 40:40
  Speaker 14: the municipalities followed, and I pray nobody gets hurt. I pray.
• 40:46
  Speaker 14: I was an I was a mess, like Friday was
• 40:48
  Speaker 14: so like this is going to be on us if
• 40:49
  Speaker 14: some kids gets hurt. And that evening, I said, you
• 40:54
  Speaker 14: know what, forget it. We're I'm going to move the
• 40:56
  Speaker 14: commission to try to do this thing on October thirty
• 40:59
  Speaker 14: one and just make sense that you don't need the
• 41:00
  Speaker 14: government jumping in too when your kids can go get candy.
• 41:04
  Speaker 14: You know, come on, we got more important things to do.
• 41:06
  Speaker 14: Quite frankly, quick text.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: Unless everyone is willing to move Christmas to another day,
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: don't mess with Halloween trick or treating. That's right, we're not.
• 41:14
  Speaker 14: We're not touching Christmas and we're touching trigger treat.
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: Did anyone ever think about no football games of the
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: last Friday in October had that day just for trick
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: or treat? Just curious? So in other words. You go
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: to your high school teams and say you're going to
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: play on we can't to play on Thursday. Yeah, now
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: look what you've done, salang, go listen, listen.
• 41:33
  Speaker 14: I'm not messing around with high school football and I'm
• 41:35
  Speaker 14: not messing around with trick or treat. So those are
• 41:38
  Speaker 14: the those are off limits for the county commission.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: All right, quick text. Church folks aren't more important than
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: us Heathens who celebrate All Saints Day. We live through
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: the seventies. Just fine, all right, I am off this
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: now on the.
• 41:51
  Speaker 14: Topic because honestly, everybody has so many opinions. And I
• 41:55
  Speaker 14: joked on the show last time. You know, the people
• 41:57
  Speaker 14: that are raising cane online are are probably the ones
• 42:00
  Speaker 14: that turn off their lights and hide inside and like
• 42:03
  Speaker 14: they're not home anyway. But they just want something to vent.
• 42:05
  Speaker 14: And that's okay.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: We're here for it.
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 42:08
  Speaker 14: I can be a punching bag. In fact, a lot
• 42:10
  Speaker 14: of it. It's just hilarious to me, Like people will
• 42:13
  Speaker 14: screenshot it and send it to me. I just crack up.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: But here's what I hear. Thought I predicted. Okay, and
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: you and I have never talked about your political future.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: You're happy to being a Kna County commissioner. But let's
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: just let's just say you're running for reelection for Canon
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: County Commission, okay, or whatever the office is. I can
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: hear it now and then deep in that deep voice,
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: Ben Solango destroyed Trick or Treat. Ben Selango hates your kids.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: He chose Satan on Sunday.
• 42:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I can see it.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's going to be all right, all right, So
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: let's get serious now. You rolled out a new app
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: last week. Can you want to talk about that?
• 42:45
  Speaker 14: You know what the the And it's funny because it
• 42:48
  Speaker 14: was also on the last show that somebody texted in
• 42:50
  Speaker 14: or called in and said, what's up with the KANAA app?
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: It doesn't work?
• 42:54
  Speaker 14: And the truth is I hadn't had the app on
• 42:56
  Speaker 14: my phone in a long time because it didn't work
• 42:59
  Speaker 14: that well, the prior app, And so the Commission had
• 43:02
  Speaker 14: been working on a new app. Our Emergency Management has
• 43:05
  Speaker 14: been working with Metronoma one and working on a new app,
• 43:08
  Speaker 14: and we just launched it at the Commission meeting on
• 43:11
  Speaker 14: last Thursday. So if you want to get alerts, we're
• 43:15
  Speaker 14: talking weather alerts, traffic alerts, you can go Emergency Management.
• 43:22
  Speaker 14: We give safety tips on their emergency contact information. All
• 43:28
  Speaker 14: of it is on this one app. If you go
• 43:29
  Speaker 14: to the app store, whatever phone you have, you have
• 43:32
  Speaker 14: an iPhone or Android, you go and you type in
• 43:35
  Speaker 14: kanaw Alert and it should be the first thing that
• 43:38
  Speaker 14: comes up. You download it, and you will get and
• 43:39
  Speaker 14: you can set your notification preferences. You don't have this
• 43:42
  Speaker 14: thing dinging on your phone in two seconds, but you
• 43:45
  Speaker 14: can set your notification presence. But you'll get it all.
• 43:48
  Speaker 14: If the interstate shut down, you're going to see it.
• 43:51
  Speaker 14: If you're going to see the right now, the eight
• 43:53
  Speaker 14: hundred block at Kelly's Creek Road and System Villa is
• 43:55
  Speaker 14: shut down, do it or an accident?
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 43:57
  Speaker 14: The one flaw that we have on the app, which
• 43:59
  Speaker 14: we're working on fixing, is a lot of these alerts
• 44:02
  Speaker 14: need to be timed. Like I don't know exactly when
• 44:05
  Speaker 14: that alert came out. So now we've got an accident
• 44:09
  Speaker 14: in the westbound exit ramp at Nitro, So you know,
• 44:13
  Speaker 14: I don't know exactly when that happened. Was it immediately
• 44:16
  Speaker 14: or was it twenty minutes ago? OK, So we're gonna
• 44:19
  Speaker 14: put a time stamp on you got it. That's going
• 44:21
  Speaker 14: to be updated but everything else is great if you
• 44:23
  Speaker 14: need uh, we did a there was a presentation you
• 44:27
  Speaker 14: can't actually text nine to one one from this app,
• 44:31
  Speaker 14: And there have been situations where people been kidnapped, they've
• 44:35
  Speaker 14: been in the trunk of a car.
• 44:37
  Speaker 5: You can't call nine one one.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: You got an emergency situation, an abuse, an abuse of situation.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: You don't necessarily want somebody to hear you on the phone,
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: so you can actually text.
• 44:44
  Speaker 14: Now, you can text it and nine to one one
• 44:46
  Speaker 14: actually receives text and a lot of people don't know that,
• 44:48
  Speaker 14: but you can actually text it. The other thing too,
• 44:50
  Speaker 14: is when you text nine to one one, they can
• 44:53
  Speaker 14: pinpoint within a ten foot radius of where you're located. Right,
• 44:58
  Speaker 14: So if somebody texts the to.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: Help, yes, like you know whatever, I mean, they will
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: know where you are. That's they will know where you are.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: That's that's it's that's that's very good to have. I
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: hope you never have to use it, but it will
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: be used.
• 45:11
  Speaker 14: The other thing too that this app does, which I
• 45:13
  Speaker 14: did not realize until they demonstrated on Thursday, is you
• 45:16
  Speaker 14: can set up like a buddy system. So if you're
• 45:20
  Speaker 14: if your friend's going to go on a hike. You
• 45:22
  Speaker 14: can actually share your location on the app, so you
• 45:26
  Speaker 14: both have to have the app.
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: So, Dave, if you.
• 45:28
  Speaker 14: Went to you went out to conostate for us, you said, Hey,
• 45:30
  Speaker 14: I'm going to go for a hike. You share your
• 45:33
  Speaker 14: location with me on the app and I can track
• 45:35
  Speaker 14: where you are and so if something happens, then we
• 45:38
  Speaker 14: know where to find you. Okay, you know, So it's
• 45:41
  Speaker 14: do you want me to start doing that way? Please don't? Okay,
• 45:45
  Speaker 14: please don't.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: Well, the chance of me going out for a hike
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: are probably not existing anyway. All Right, we got to

• 49:12
  Speaker 5: Can take them that.
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I don't know if that's possible. Okay, all right.
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: We had a text here I wanted to get your
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: taken on. It says, why did Knawa County demolish the
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: old Macy's building before funding and planning it for the
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: sports center or final.
• 49:24
  Speaker 14: Well, because we needed to secure the land, we needed
• 49:28
  Speaker 14: to come up with the plan. We had the finances
• 49:31
  Speaker 14: in place. We're still waiting on a request for an
• 49:36
  Speaker 14: ear mark that we submitted. In fact, there was an
• 49:39
  Speaker 14: ear mark that was approved back in twenty twenty four
• 49:43
  Speaker 14: and then the government, the federal government couldn't pass a budget,
• 49:46
  Speaker 14: so we lost our ear mark. We had the financing
• 49:48
  Speaker 14: in place, you know, but it was it was going
• 49:50
  Speaker 14: to be a seventy million dollar ear mark. Congress was
• 49:53
  Speaker 14: unable to pass a budget that year and so we
• 49:55
  Speaker 14: lost it. And so that that's the hold up. So
• 49:57
  Speaker 14: we've submitted again. And I'm not I say this every
• 49:59
  Speaker 14: time bring this up. I'm not blaming anybody. I'm not
• 50:02
  Speaker 14: blaming anybody. I'm just saying that's that was the funding plan,
• 50:06
  Speaker 14: you know, it was. We had scaled the project back
• 50:08
  Speaker 14: because of all the ARPA funds that had come in
• 50:10
  Speaker 14: had drive driven up the cost of construction significantly, from
• 50:15
  Speaker 14: like three point fifty a square foot almost seven hundred
• 50:17
  Speaker 14: dollars a square foot, So we had to scale back
• 50:19
  Speaker 14: the project. That's when we phased out the pool and
• 50:22
  Speaker 14: thought about maybe we can do the pool at some
• 50:23
  Speaker 14: other time. And so then we had the financing in place.
• 50:27
  Speaker 14: You know, the city was ready to bond a portion.
• 50:29
  Speaker 14: We were ready to bond a portion we each put in.
• 50:32
  Speaker 14: I think it was around five million dollars, and we
• 50:35
  Speaker 14: had everything ready to go, and then Congress couldn't pass
• 50:37
  Speaker 14: the budget to approve that earmark that we had been awarded.
• 50:42
  Speaker 14: But again, getting getting the letters one thing, getting the
• 50:45
  Speaker 14: cash to something else.
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: Indeed, uh, Texas, Dave, can you ask Ben, are they
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: going to have family pricing this year? For light the
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: night for a family of five gets darn expensive and
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: then they nickel and downy inside. I don't know, is
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: that's something that you can answer. I don't know that
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: you were not.
• 51:00
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I have to take my commission hat off, says Okay,
• 51:03
  Speaker 14: I think there are family there are family nights, and
• 51:06
  Speaker 14: let me say this, if there's somebody out there that
• 51:07
  Speaker 14: can't afford it. All you got to do is reach out,
• 51:09
  Speaker 14: because we do have some complimentary tickets and we do
• 51:12
  Speaker 14: sponsor some families. It is it can be quite expensive,
• 51:16
  Speaker 14: but you know, just to go in and see the lights,
• 51:17
  Speaker 14: it's not that it's not that bad.
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: Texas for ben Selango, good morning. My question related to
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: smart meters? How is it legal to not be able
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: to opt out? They emit more EMF radiation than our
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: cell phones, up to nineteen thousand pulses per day. Constant
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: exposure has been linked to sleep disorders, heart headaches, not heartaches,
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: even brain timors. Can you can you why is it
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: not possible to opt out of those?
• 51:38
  Speaker 14: I do not know.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, you can't buy an old meter anymore. That's all
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: they make, okay, smart meters. I mean seriously, you can't
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: go buy an old meter that you would read or
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: even in are F meter. They don't make them anymore. Okay,
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: all right, well there you go, there you go. That's
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: why we keep him around. Yeah, all right, right, final
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: forty five seconds? What else is on the radar for
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: Commissioner Selangoa and the commission.
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: You know what?
• 51:57
  Speaker 14: So we have we've secured the architect that's going to
• 52:00
  Speaker 14: do the designing. We've got to engineer the new Knaw
• 52:03
  Speaker 14: County Sheriff's shooting range. We're looking at that. We've got
• 52:08
  Speaker 14: that in place. We're hoping that the design will be finished.
• 52:12
  Speaker 14: The ZMM is gonna work on the design through the
• 52:14
  Speaker 14: winter and then by the time spring rolls around we'll
• 52:17
  Speaker 14: be able to start construction. I hope to have that
• 52:19
  Speaker 14: done probably summer to fall of next year. That's a
• 52:23
  Speaker 14: big deal, so anxious for that to happen.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: Kenagh County Commission, President of ben Selanga, appreciate you being here.
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
