- 2:43Speaker 4: Want to welcome into the show now, friend of the program,
- 2:46Speaker 4: Jill Scarborough from a Bright Future Learning Services located in
- 2:49Speaker 4: Putnam County.
- 2:50Speaker 2: Good morning, welcome to the show.
- 2:51Speaker 5: Good morning, thanks for having me back.
- 2:53Speaker 2: Dave, you got a big events coming up this weekend.
- 2:55Speaker 5: We do we're bringing the circus to town.
- 2:57Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, you're in the circle us right now when
- 3:00Speaker 4: you walk into the station, but go ahead in that life.
- 3:03Speaker 5: Man, is this one big circus and so we just
- 3:05Speaker 5: have a good time with it.
- 3:06Speaker 2: Different kind of circus, though, what will you get going on?
- 3:09Speaker 6: So for our nonprofit, Right Right Futures is a therapy
- 3:13Speaker 6: center that then we founded Community Autism Resources and Education
- 3:17Speaker 6: Systems CARES to provide outreach and so we have our
- 3:22Speaker 6: Sensory Circus this Saturday Valley Park. Registration starts at eleven.
- 3:27Speaker 6: Full event run is twelve to three. That what happens
- 3:31Speaker 6: is we largely take over Valley Park and make it
- 3:34Speaker 6: one big sensory celebration and experience.
- 3:38Speaker 4: Now, when you say that sensory circus, explain what is
- 3:43Speaker 4: different about that.
- 3:45Speaker 6: So, as you know CARES, we primarily serve children with
- 3:48Speaker 6: autism and their families. And so if you know a
- 3:50Speaker 6: little bit about autism, you've heard folks on the spectrum
- 3:54Speaker 6: might experience things a little bit differently. So they might
- 3:57Speaker 6: you know, be sensitive to sound, they might be or
- 4:00Speaker 6: or extra extra really dig it and really get into it.
- 4:03Speaker 6: And so this event is a little bit of a
- 4:06Speaker 6: reverse inclusion.
- 4:07Speaker 5: Model where we go, you.
- 4:09Speaker 6: Know what, let's really create an immersive experience throughout the
- 4:14Speaker 6: park to really stop and touch and play and experience stuff.
- 4:19Speaker 6: So what happens is at the beginning at twelve o'clock,
- 4:22Speaker 6: we bring in for performers from Cincinnati Circus, so we
- 4:25Speaker 6: have aerialists they like, breathe fire, I don't know, it's
- 4:29Speaker 6: a good time. And then after that we set up
- 4:32Speaker 6: a sensory walk through the back trail section section of
- 4:36Speaker 6: Valley Park, and so you'll walk through a big tunnel
- 4:40Speaker 6: of you're surrounded with pinwheels, and so the intention here
- 4:44Speaker 6: is like stop and check it out and take them inte.
- 4:48Speaker 5: It's a little bit of mindfulness.
- 4:49Speaker 6: Too, if you choose to do it that way, but
- 4:52Speaker 6: is stop and pause and check out how cool it
- 4:55Speaker 6: is when there's a bunch of pinwheels in a line
- 4:57Speaker 6: and they're all spending at the same time. And then
- 4:59Speaker 6: next go through we hang hula hoops down from trees
- 5:02Speaker 6: and walk through them and spin and play. And so
- 5:05Speaker 6: the whole day is about play for everybody and especially yes,
- 5:11Speaker 6: our our kids and families with autism. But this event
- 5:13Speaker 6: is for everyone it is not just for you know,
- 5:17Speaker 6: folks on this back.
- 5:18Speaker 2: How many years has this been happening.
- 5:20Speaker 6: So we've been having an event similar for nine years.
- 5:26Speaker 6: This is the second year that we've done it as
- 5:28Speaker 6: the Sensory Circus. Like it's progressed over you know, over
- 5:31Speaker 6: the year, and we really locked in last year and said, no,
- 5:34Speaker 6: our goal is we really want a signature community event
- 5:37Speaker 6: that is known as an event you just want to
- 5:39Speaker 6: go to and it's cool and it's different, and so
- 5:43Speaker 6: we didn't want to have to pick a theme every year.
- 5:45Speaker 6: And we're like, no, you know, it's about autism, but
- 5:47Speaker 6: also it's about community and awareness and having a good time.
- 5:50Speaker 6: So we locked in we're just going to keep it
- 5:52Speaker 6: the Sensory Circus. The other thing that happens is because
- 5:55Speaker 6: we have such a great relationship with Ballely Park, this
- 5:58Speaker 6: largely is also a public art display that we're able
- 6:01Speaker 6: to leave up for a couple of weeks on the
- 6:04Speaker 6: trail system these tunnels and that kind of stuff too.
- 6:08Speaker 6: So it's it's there really is nothing else like it,
- 6:11Speaker 6: even when I've looked, you know, maybe nationwide there's something similar,
- 6:14Speaker 6: but in my limited research, I've not seen anything else.
- 6:19Speaker 6: That really is designed to do this in this way.
- 6:23Speaker 4: And I would imagine if that is the case, what
- 6:25Speaker 4: you are saying that you're going to draw people from
- 6:26Speaker 4: not just Puttingham in Kanawa County, You're going to draw
- 6:28Speaker 4: people from all over the state of West Virginia maybe beyond.
- 6:30Speaker 6: That's that's the goal, and that's for Cares now too.
- 6:34Speaker 6: I'm so proud of how far we've come because it
- 6:36Speaker 6: just started after a tragedy from a family on the
- 6:38Speaker 6: wait list, you know, at right Futures, and we said, listen,
- 6:41Speaker 6: we got to do something, even if it's wrong.
- 6:42Speaker 5: We don't know what we're doing. We don't know we're starting,
- 6:44Speaker 5: but we're doing.
- 6:44Speaker 2: Some of the best ideas come from we don't know
- 6:46Speaker 2: what we're doing now.
- 6:47Speaker 6: I think that's where all of them come, right. You
- 6:49Speaker 6: just got to be brave and go, you know what,
- 6:50Speaker 6: something's got to give. We got to do it. And
- 6:52Speaker 6: so next year we'll celebrate ten years of figuring it
- 6:54Speaker 6: out and Cares has grown. Now we have monthly events
- 6:58Speaker 6: for families between Queen Charleston and Huntington, where our primary
- 7:02Speaker 6: attachment area really is the Kanau Valley, and we have
- 7:05Speaker 6: funding from you know, both ends the Greater knav Valley
- 7:08Speaker 6: Foundation Palatine.
- 7:09Speaker 5: We right now have a Benetem grant and so our.
- 7:11Speaker 6: Goal is to make systems level change and impact. And
- 7:15Speaker 6: so we've got three levels of services for families. Our
- 7:18Speaker 6: immediate is these monthly events where it's at least once
- 7:21Speaker 6: a month. Families know they can go for free and
- 7:25Speaker 6: have a place where're gonna be welcome and met with
- 7:27Speaker 6: other families that are walking a similar path. And you're
- 7:29Speaker 6: not going to be met with side eye and judgment.
- 7:31Speaker 6: So if your kid has a meltdown, you're gonna be
- 7:32Speaker 6: met with like yeah, same girl, me too, you know,
- 7:35Speaker 6: like how can I help you? And then from there
- 7:37Speaker 6: you connect with our advocate who then can you know
- 7:40Speaker 6: if mom, you need to have a real conversation about man,
- 7:42Speaker 6: this is really hard. I really love my kid and
- 7:44Speaker 6: this is hard, Like you can have those conversations and
- 7:48Speaker 6: then too, she can help you navigate the gauntlet of
- 7:50Speaker 6: services like Okay, therapy services, insurance, school systems.
- 7:55Speaker 5: Taylor is our advocate.
- 7:56Speaker 6: She's a parent, she got two kids on the spectrum herself,
- 7:58Speaker 6: so she gets it. And the work that she does
- 8:02Speaker 6: now a lot of is advocating with the school systems
- 8:05Speaker 6: to help the schools also get the resources they need
- 8:08Speaker 6: to be able to serve your child and to make
- 8:10Speaker 6: sure that their education plans are designed to meet them.
- 8:13Speaker 5: So have that program and then our long term program.
- 8:16Speaker 6: Again we're about systems change is if you go back
- 8:19Speaker 6: to the beginning for us, this was a tragedy that
- 8:21Speaker 6: happened for a family waiting to get services at right futures,
- 8:25Speaker 6: which we know that less than five percent of kids
- 8:27Speaker 6: in the state have access to applied behavior analysis therapy,
- 8:31Speaker 6: which is the most evidence based therapy. We know we
- 8:34Speaker 6: can make trajectory changing progress sometimes if we can get
- 8:38Speaker 6: kids early and do quality work intensively. So again, less
- 8:41Speaker 6: than five percent of kids in state have access to that,
- 8:43Speaker 6: and at this point it's mostly because the lack of providers.
- 8:46Speaker 6: We have functionally zero workforce training system for therapists behavior
- 8:51Speaker 6: analysis therapists, and so we right now have a grant
- 8:54Speaker 6: from the Beninum Foundation helping us design an apprenticeship program
- 8:58Speaker 6: for our frontline technicians, and we're truly working on how
- 9:01Speaker 6: do we develop the workforce.
- 9:03Speaker 5: Training system in the state.
- 9:04Speaker 6: And so again cares We're about, you know, right now,
- 9:07Speaker 6: how can we help be a life vest and a
- 9:09Speaker 6: life jacket for families that are trying to navigate and
- 9:11Speaker 6: survive while we then do the decades of work that
- 9:15Speaker 6: it's going to take to make a real dent in
- 9:17Speaker 6: the system.
- 9:17Speaker 2: We'll talking did Jill Scarborough.
- 9:19Speaker 4: It's nine to seventeen of Dave Island Show on five
- 9:21Speaker 4: Vitieline brownche part by Mortga to Mortgative, America's largest injury
- 9:24Speaker 4: law firm. If you're injured this forthpeople dot com? Are
- 9:26Speaker 4: you at liberty to discuss in a very broad sense
- 9:30Speaker 4: that tragedy that led to a lot of this.
- 9:32Speaker 6: And I've we have permission from the family to talk
- 9:35Speaker 6: about it. I don't name them, but they they're aware
- 9:38Speaker 6: and have done some video with us, and they have
- 9:41Speaker 6: given permission for us to talk about it. That at
- 9:46Speaker 6: Bright Futures and again every there's only about twenty ish
- 9:50Speaker 6: ABA providers in the state right and we all have
- 9:52Speaker 6: never ending wait lists, and so at Bright Futures, we
- 9:55Speaker 6: really we recognize it's a treau situation that okay, we've got,
- 10:00Speaker 6: you know, in essence, like one vial of medicine, how
- 10:02Speaker 6: do you decide who gets it? And so our our
- 10:06Speaker 6: weight list is not at all a traditional weightlist. It
- 10:08Speaker 6: is not first come, first served that the primary thing
- 10:10Speaker 6: that we attend to is parent engagement and parent involvement
- 10:13Speaker 6: because this, you know, to do our program, it really
- 10:15Speaker 6: is more like diet and exercise.
- 10:17Speaker 5: It's not a magic pill. This is hard work.
- 10:19Speaker 6: And so it's really got to be parents that are like, no,
- 10:21Speaker 6: help me fish and teach me to fish. So anyway,
- 10:24Speaker 6: our on our weight list, we you know, explain to
- 10:26Speaker 6: families this is what it is, and then we refer
- 10:28Speaker 6: them to cares and other you know, other resources. But
- 10:30Speaker 6: we also encourage families to be the squeaky wheel, right
- 10:33Speaker 6: so that when we have in the ability to take someone,
- 10:36Speaker 6: we know like, okay, who's really what indicators do we
- 10:39Speaker 6: have that if this is a family that's really going
- 10:40Speaker 6: to work with us, is a really eager to learn,
- 10:42Speaker 6: you know, how to best help their child. And so
- 10:45Speaker 6: we say, if you want to call and check in
- 10:46Speaker 6: every week, you can call and check in every week.
- 10:48Speaker 5: We don't care.
- 10:49Speaker 6: Whatever makes you feel better as a parent to know
- 10:51Speaker 6: I'm doing everything I possibly can to help my child.
- 10:53Speaker 6: And so there was a family that was in Putnam
- 10:57Speaker 6: County and this mom was the fantastic mom. She was
- 11:01Speaker 6: a birth to three, you know, service coordinator. She had
- 11:03Speaker 6: two kids on the spectrum or one son had down
- 11:06Speaker 6: syndrome and on the autism spectrum, and she had been
- 11:09Speaker 6: you know, calling regularly, working with other families, helping them,
- 11:13Speaker 6: and she called us. If I can't remember, it's literally
- 11:17Speaker 6: the day before at least like very close in time
- 11:19Speaker 6: to then her getting to her breaking point, and she
- 11:23Speaker 6: shot both of her children and herself.
- 11:25Speaker 2: Wow.
- 11:26Speaker 6: And the one son did survive. But that tragedy shook
- 11:33Speaker 6: us at Bright Futures Room, you know. And the other
- 11:36Speaker 6: thing was the response from our other families that we
- 11:39Speaker 6: are the ones who do have services. That their response
- 11:42Speaker 6: wasn't oh my god, how can that happen? It was yeah,
- 11:45Speaker 6: I get it, that could be me. And so that's
- 11:48Speaker 6: when CARES were like, man, we got to do something
- 11:51Speaker 6: to at least start connecting families so they're not so isolated,
- 11:55Speaker 6: so they can figure out how do you navigate this
- 11:57Speaker 6: what can be a really challenging situation.
- 12:00Speaker 2: Wow, I know that you're very passionate about that.
- 12:02Speaker 4: I've interviewed several I've interviewed you several times over the
- 12:06Speaker 4: years about this sort of thing.
- 12:07Speaker 1: Uh.
- 12:08Speaker 4: I don't know though that in the time of knowing
- 12:10Speaker 4: you that I knew that whole story, because I don't
- 12:12Speaker 4: think you had told me told the list origins, but
- 12:14Speaker 4: that the origin story of the whole thing. Are we
- 12:16Speaker 4: making any advances in this? I mean I don't know
- 12:19Speaker 4: what advances are yeah, but are we I mean, obviously
- 12:23Speaker 4: with the passage of time we get better at things
- 12:25Speaker 4: with research and so on and so forth.
- 12:27Speaker 2: Where are we now in twenty twenty six?
- 12:28Speaker 6: There's right with everything, there's pros and cons and ups
- 12:31Speaker 6: and downs, and you know, two steps towards, you know,
- 12:33Speaker 6: two steps forward, ten steps back. So depend on which
- 12:37Speaker 6: lens we look at, right, So if we look at
- 12:39Speaker 6: it from a you know, an awareness lens, well, autism
- 12:42Speaker 6: has certainly been in the news the last couple of years,
- 12:45Speaker 6: right and taking a look at it. So in terms
- 12:48Speaker 6: of you know, how many folks that it impacts, that's
- 12:50Speaker 6: a positive of knowing it's.
- 12:51Speaker 5: One in thirty you know, one in thirty one.
- 12:53Speaker 6: You know kids on the spectrum, and so pretty much
- 12:56Speaker 6: everybody now knows somebody personally that is on the spectrum.
- 13:00Speaker 6: So that's progress compared to you know, but in the
- 13:02Speaker 6: field twenty eight years of used to be like you
- 13:04Speaker 6: didn't know it all. So we're we're aware that autism
- 13:08Speaker 6: is a thing, and now the conversations around autism are
- 13:12Speaker 6: quite interesting. So that's a pro anacon where we are
- 13:17Speaker 6: from diagnosism in terms of making progress is there's some
- 13:20Speaker 6: really cool research coming out now that use a tool
- 13:23Speaker 6: to track I gays for babies that you literally can like,
- 13:26Speaker 6: you know, put a video up that's a specific type
- 13:29Speaker 6: of video, and then there's I gaze equipment that we'll
- 13:33Speaker 6: watch and see, you know, where the child looks. And
- 13:36Speaker 6: for typically developing children, they're typically looking at the people
- 13:40Speaker 6: in the video and their faces and the social interactions.
- 13:44Speaker 6: Folks that are kids that later on end up with
- 13:46Speaker 6: an autism diagnosis, they're not looking at the people, they're
- 13:49Speaker 6: looking at the things and the backgrounds and the details.
- 13:53Speaker 6: And so sometimes now you can get a diagnosis like
- 13:57Speaker 6: under twelve months. So that's really great, you know progress.
- 14:00Speaker 6: That equipment isn't available in West Virginia, and I reached
- 14:03Speaker 6: out some friends at Martial Health Network and was like, hey,
- 14:06Speaker 6: can we get this equipment, And so we're having some
- 14:07Speaker 6: conversations about that. So that's good that we're able to
- 14:10Speaker 6: get earlier intervene or earlier diagnosis. Then the next step
- 14:14Speaker 6: in the process is great, I have a diagnosis. Now
- 14:17Speaker 6: what do I do and how do I access the
- 14:19Speaker 6: services that can really help?
- 14:21Speaker 5: And that's where we're really making snail pace progress in
- 14:25Speaker 5: West Virginia.
- 14:26Speaker 6: And that's why too like the work that we do
- 14:29Speaker 6: in coordination with other our state level nonprofit Mountaineer Autism Project,
- 14:33Speaker 6: but we have a coordinated effort.
- 14:35Speaker 5: Right now.
- 14:35Speaker 6: We have an awareness campaign that's just talking about applied
- 14:38Speaker 6: behavior analysis and there'll be billboards going up of just
- 14:41Speaker 6: because when you go to why can't we get access
- 14:43Speaker 6: to services? At this point there are funding streams available
- 14:46Speaker 6: which we had to work on, and now it's about
- 14:49Speaker 6: well where the people that are trained to do it
- 14:51Speaker 6: and trained to do it well, which is a whole
- 14:53Speaker 6: different conversation is trying to do it well? I put
- 14:55Speaker 6: it akin to, we know we have a nursing shortage.
- 14:58Speaker 6: We know we have you know, we more social workers,
- 15:00Speaker 6: we need more of all the helping professions right in
- 15:03Speaker 6: West Virginia.
- 15:03Speaker 5: It's you know, bottom of the list, you know, for
- 15:06Speaker 5: like not enough of everything.
- 15:07Speaker 6: And so for behavior analysts, we say, well, if how
- 15:12Speaker 6: much of a nursing shortage would we have if nobody
- 15:15Speaker 6: knew you could be a nurse and there was no
- 15:18Speaker 6: system in the state that trained nurses. That's what we're
- 15:21Speaker 6: dealing with behavior analysis is nobody's heard of it, like
- 15:23Speaker 6: what is this thing?
- 15:25Speaker 5: And recently too.
- 15:26Speaker 6: Because what's happened for the behavior analysis industry is that
- 15:31Speaker 6: state by state, parents led legislative efforts to say insurance
- 15:37Speaker 6: must cover autism and provide medically necessary, you know, treatment
- 15:41Speaker 6: for autism. And so that happened in each state only
- 15:44Speaker 6: within the last let's see twenty twenty was the celebration
- 15:48Speaker 6: of all fifty states past some insurance legislation. Because prior
- 15:52Speaker 6: to that, if you had a kid with autism, they say,
- 15:54Speaker 6: good luck, we don't pay for anything, so have fun
- 15:57Speaker 6: with that family, go to school.
- 15:58Speaker 5: They're supposed to provide everything.
- 16:00Speaker 6: We had to pass that legislation, which then created supply
- 16:03Speaker 6: and demand issue now is a refunding stream and high
- 16:05Speaker 6: demand for a service, specifically behavior analysis, because that's most
- 16:08Speaker 6: evidence base. But then there's no workforce training behind it.
- 16:11Speaker 6: But it created a great business opportunity. So then what
- 16:14Speaker 6: happens is private investors, private equity then bought up mom
- 16:18Speaker 6: and pop shops throughout the country recognizing the tremendous business
- 16:22Speaker 6: opportunity and so also in the news this year has
- 16:26Speaker 6: been a lot of bad press about ABA and waste,
- 16:29Speaker 6: fraud and abuse and some really crazy stories because the
- 16:33Speaker 6: multiple things are true at the same time.
- 16:35Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, appreciate the background, give us all the details.
- 16:40Speaker 2: What's going on in.

- 19:57Speaker 4: our sister station, Superstar Country ninety six to one capable. Yes,
- 20:00Speaker 4: Rom'm going to join us a little bit later on
- 20:01Speaker 4: the show to talk about it. Data centers are all
- 20:04Speaker 4: the talk, not only here but all around the country
- 20:06Speaker 4: as well.
- 20:07Speaker 2: Know as you know, there's a big one being planned.
- 20:08Speaker 4: For Buffalo in Putnham County, a Google data center, and
- 20:12Speaker 4: as we always like to do, we try to present
- 20:14Speaker 4: both sides of the story because it can be a
- 20:16Speaker 4: polarizing issue representing one of the groups I guess data centers,
- 20:19Speaker 4: particularly this one in Buffalo. Is Michael Masteller from the
- 20:22Speaker 4: group Putnam United, and he joins us this morning here
- 20:24Speaker 4: in the Jerry Construction Studios.
- 20:25Speaker 2: Good morning, sir, welcome to the show.
- 20:27Speaker 9: Thanks for having me.
- 20:28Speaker 1: TJ.
- 20:28Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Dave.
- 20:30Speaker 9: Sure, good morning.
- 20:32Speaker 2: What's funny is you mentioned?
- 20:34Speaker 1: Teacher?
- 20:35Speaker 8: Hey?
- 20:35Speaker 4: What's funny is is that I because we have too
- 20:37Speaker 4: many Daves in this company. We have Wilson, we have
- 20:41Speaker 4: Will can stop right there with Wilson, that's one too many.
- 20:44Speaker 4: We have weekly, we have Dave Jecklin. And don't feel
- 20:47Speaker 4: bad because a couple of months ago, thirty eight years
- 20:50Speaker 4: of radio, I referred to myself as Dave Wilson, so
- 20:54Speaker 4: because I was reading something that they had coming up
- 20:56Speaker 4: and I said.
- 20:56Speaker 2: Well, I'm Dave Wilton. No, I'm Dave Allen.
- 20:58Speaker 4: But anyway, it's perfectly perfectly. There's worse people to be
- 21:02Speaker 4: compared to than TJ. Mattters, right, I mean I could
- 21:04Speaker 4: be compared to Dave Wilson, for example. So so I'll
- 21:07Speaker 4: take Michael Masteller is here, welcome to the show what
- 21:11Speaker 4: is and we'll get specific what's your major objective? Not
- 21:15Speaker 4: just you, but others that are against his data center?
- 21:16Speaker 4: What's your major objection to lil thing.
- 21:18Speaker 9: I've talked to a lot of people across the state
- 21:21Speaker 9: where I mean every town is getting a data center.
- 21:24Speaker 9: That's one thing that worries us. The main thing that
- 21:26Speaker 9: worries about us is the secrecy surrounding it. I mean
- 21:29Speaker 9: House Bill twenty fourteen. We're not allowed to answer questions
- 21:33Speaker 9: local levels, like at the county level. The local level,
- 21:36Speaker 9: they're not allowed to enforce any ordinances. They're not allowed
- 21:39Speaker 9: to enforce their own laws against it. A lot of
- 21:43Speaker 9: lawmakers have signed non disclosure agreements and in other places
- 21:46Speaker 9: where they have gone in like this, A lot of
- 21:49Speaker 9: the paperwork that has been signed where people are, you know,
- 21:52Speaker 9: signing party to the data center, even the signatures are redacted.
- 21:58Speaker 9: So what's with all the secrecy? Why why do they
- 22:00Speaker 9: feel they need to hide all these things from us.
- 22:03Speaker 4: I don't know whether you're aware that's or not, because
- 22:06Speaker 4: this just happened in the last hour, and I want
- 22:07Speaker 4: to surprise you with this, but I don't want to.
- 22:09Speaker 4: But I didn't want to let you know that the
- 22:11Speaker 4: folks behind the data center and also had a conversation
- 22:14Speaker 4: with the Putnam kind of development authority. They released some information. Again,
- 22:17Speaker 4: this just happened in the last hour, so I didn't
- 22:19Speaker 4: want to blindside you with that, but there is some
- 22:21Speaker 4: information out there available now. I think the folks that
- 22:24Speaker 4: not the development authority, but the people that are putting
- 22:27Speaker 4: this data center in have have put out statements. Now
- 22:31Speaker 4: they've got links to their website and the Army Corps
- 22:33Speaker 4: of Engineers and that and all that sort of thing.
- 22:35Speaker 4: And Chris Lawrence is actually working on a story. We'll
- 22:37Speaker 4: have it posted at WV mentor new's not common. I
- 22:40Speaker 4: don't want to ask you about it because you probably
- 22:41Speaker 4: haven't had a chance to see it, but because because
- 22:44Speaker 4: it just came out, but I wanted to, you know,
- 22:46Speaker 4: make you aware that, not that it not to downplay
- 22:48Speaker 4: anything you're concerned about. I'm just letting there is more
- 22:50Speaker 4: information coming out of there. So so you said that
- 22:53Speaker 4: up till now that there's just not enough transparency, right,
- 22:57Speaker 4: That's just one of the issues.
- 22:59Speaker 9: Okay, what are some more Some of the other ones are.
- 23:01Speaker 9: So I've done a deep dive into data centers and
- 23:04Speaker 9: why there's so many of them, because if you look,
- 23:07Speaker 9: I mean there's multiple data centers per state, and each
- 23:11Speaker 9: data center on average runs anywhere from two to eight gigawatts.
- 23:16Speaker 9: What John Amos power Plant alone puts out is just
- 23:19Speaker 9: at peak peak power is three. So they're going to
- 23:23Speaker 9: have to be generating their own electricity. And you hear
- 23:26Speaker 9: some of them talking about using nuclear power. If it
- 23:29Speaker 9: were you know, a regulated utility that wanted to put
- 23:33Speaker 9: a nuclear reactor in West Virginia, I would be perfectly
- 23:36Speaker 9: okay with that. But you want to put in a
- 23:39Speaker 9: private company and the only thing that they worship is
- 23:43Speaker 9: the bottom dollar. You can bet they're going to cut corners,
- 23:46Speaker 9: and I wouldn't trust them to put a nuclear reactor
- 23:49Speaker 9: anywhere in this country. So it Yeah, if we had
- 23:52Speaker 9: state regulation and it was regulated as an actual utility,
- 23:57Speaker 9: I would be fine with that.
- 23:59Speaker 4: Do you think that maybe, and I don't want to
- 24:01Speaker 4: put words in your mouth, but do you think that
- 24:03Speaker 4: maybe some of the legislators that supported that particular bill
- 24:08Speaker 4: that you mentioned, maybe because it happens a lot of
- 24:10Speaker 4: times you're in a legislature, you know, you get a
- 24:12Speaker 4: lot of bills done at you, that maybe they just
- 24:15Speaker 4: saw this as this is an opportunity for jobs, this
- 24:18Speaker 4: is an opportunity for whatever, and maybe didn't do a
- 24:20Speaker 4: deep enough dive into it.
- 24:22Speaker 2: Do you think that's possible.
- 24:23Speaker 9: I think that's what happened because we had some of
- 24:24Speaker 9: our members of our group go down to the Capitol
- 24:26Speaker 9: in one of the days where the companies that are
- 24:29Speaker 9: building the data center they showed up and they had this,
- 24:32Speaker 9: you know, this big show that they put on and
- 24:35Speaker 9: of course they're putting out the company propaganda. And our
- 24:38Speaker 9: legislators that were there, they didn't ask questions, they didn't
- 24:41Speaker 9: ask follow ups. They they took them at their work
- 24:45Speaker 9: and they believed every single bit of it. And some
- 24:48Speaker 9: of the things they were legislating seems like the bills
- 24:51Speaker 9: were pretty much already written up and they just didn't
- 24:54Speaker 9: know what they were pushing.
- 24:56Speaker 4: What I mean, one of the things we hear about
- 24:58Speaker 4: about data centers again we're talking to Michael monstell Or.
- 25:01Speaker 4: One of the things we hear by data centers is
- 25:03Speaker 4: that the economic impact of it. I actually interviewed someone
- 25:07Speaker 4: not long ago from the education field that was talking
- 25:09Speaker 4: about that and talking about the economic impact that could
- 25:13Speaker 4: be for the students of a particular school to try
- 25:15Speaker 4: to get them. And Lord knows, we all need to
- 25:17Speaker 4: try to get people to stay in West Virginia.
- 25:19Speaker 2: You know that as well as anybody does. How do
- 25:21Speaker 2: you counter the ECO because they have said, you know,
- 25:25Speaker 2: whether it's here, wherever, it's going to bring contracting jobs,
- 25:28Speaker 2: it's going to bring all this up. What's your response
- 25:30Speaker 2: to them?
- 25:31Speaker 9: So in this deep dive, a lot of the data
- 25:33Speaker 9: centers that have already been built. They use a lot
- 25:35Speaker 9: of the same people to build these data centers, so
- 25:38Speaker 9: every time they move on to a new campus, they
- 25:41Speaker 9: just bring the people who are experienced.
- 25:42Speaker 2: People that are specializing in that field.
- 25:45Speaker 9: Okay, and then so once the construction jobs are gone,
- 25:48Speaker 9: even the Colossus data center, a lot of the big
- 25:51Speaker 9: data centers that are bigger than the ones that are
- 25:53Speaker 9: going to in West Virginia, they end up with maybe
- 25:55Speaker 9: twenty employees or fewer. So I don't know where they're
- 26:00Speaker 9: getting this number that there's going to be hundreds of jobs.
- 26:03Speaker 9: Our own governor on TV couldn't even guarantee that any
- 26:06Speaker 9: percent of these jobs we're going to go to West
- 26:08Speaker 9: Virginians once the you know, the permanent jobs, and so
- 26:12Speaker 9: the economic benefit is going to be far outweighed by
- 26:17Speaker 9: the electricity usage that they're going to use. Is going
- 26:20Speaker 9: to drive our utility costs up. That's already happened in Virginia.
- 26:24Speaker 9: Dominion Energy they released a report where in data center
- 26:28Speaker 9: alley per data center, about fourteen to thirty dollars per
- 26:32Speaker 9: month per data center is about how much these person's
- 26:34Speaker 9: building up. And so yeah, they're they're getting deals cut
- 26:38Speaker 9: on their rates when you know when they use electricity
- 26:42Speaker 9: and then that gets passed on to us.
- 26:44Speaker 4: Talking to Michael Mosteller again, it is twenty six minutes
- 26:46Speaker 4: away from ten to Dave Island showing five India Line
- 26:49Speaker 4: Brighteteed parted by a Husband's Pizza This month get a

- 26:59Speaker 4: out the Devil's advocate things for you because I.
- 27:01Speaker 8: Know that you're equipped for it. What would you say
- 27:04Speaker 8: to those who say, look, we're all guilty. Present company
- 27:07Speaker 8: included and one of the things we've heard as well,
- 27:10Speaker 8: if you don't, you don't, if you don't like this
- 27:12Speaker 8: sort of thing that, don't use Google, don't use your iPhone,
- 27:15Speaker 8: don't use chat, GPT, don't use any of these things.
- 27:18Speaker 2: That you would say?
- 27:18Speaker 9: What I would say that there's two different types of data. Okay,
- 27:21Speaker 9: there's the storage type, which is what most of what
- 27:24Speaker 9: we use uses is the storage type of data center.
- 27:27Speaker 9: And that's a passive type of data center. They just
- 27:30Speaker 9: store information. They don't need all this energy for processing.
- 27:34Speaker 9: What's going in in mass are these computing data centers
- 27:39Speaker 9: where they take video card after a video card, after
- 27:42Speaker 9: a video card, because they they compute quicker and they
- 27:45Speaker 9: compute more information, and they just stack them in banks
- 27:49Speaker 9: upon on top of each other. And so those are
- 27:53Speaker 9: the computing data centers, and they they're the ones that
- 27:57Speaker 9: use all this extra energy rather than a orage data center.
- 28:01Speaker 9: So yeah, there are two entirely different types of data centers.
- 28:04Speaker 4: What I know, and you're a Putnam County guy, and
- 28:07Speaker 4: I know that we've I've actually interviewed on this show
- 28:10Speaker 4: and on Midday and on talk Line at other shows
- 28:12Speaker 4: folks that are neighbors in the area of Buffalo where
- 28:15Speaker 4: this thing is proposed to go in. If you had
- 28:17Speaker 4: any conversations with them, and what are their concerns?
- 28:19Speaker 9: Oh yeah, yeah, they I know quite a few people
- 28:22Speaker 9: who live right up against the property where it's going in.
- 28:25Speaker 9: And one thing that's happened and all the information I'm
- 28:28Speaker 9: giving you, it's already happened at other data centers across
- 28:31Speaker 9: the United States where they've gone in, and it's the
- 28:33Speaker 9: AI data centers. But these people are worried that their
- 28:37Speaker 9: property values are going down. One already. Has they tried
- 28:40Speaker 9: to sell their property. It was worth about two hundred
- 28:42Speaker 9: thousand dollars. They're down to eighty thousand. They can't sell,
- 28:46Speaker 9: and so they're worried about the sound levels, the audible sound.
- 28:50Speaker 9: They're worried about the infrasound levels, which is below our
- 28:54Speaker 9: level of hearing. But the amplitude is as if you
- 28:57Speaker 9: were standing next to a jet a jet airplane that
- 29:00Speaker 9: was getting ready to take off, and it has physiological
- 29:03Speaker 9: effects on the body. It causes stress, anxiety, heart disease,
- 29:07Speaker 9: and I mean there's there's many other.
- 29:10Speaker 2: Sympols that that's not the CDC. Okay, okay, I was
- 29:14Speaker 2: gonna say it causedant thing.
- 29:15Speaker 9: Yeah, pro CDC.
- 29:16Speaker 2: So what is next, Michael? And in this discussion, what's next?
- 29:20Speaker 9: So we are if we can't just completely, you know,
- 29:25Speaker 9: eliminate the data centers or some of them that are
- 29:27Speaker 9: wanting to come to town, we want them to be
- 29:29Speaker 9: good neighbors. So we would like to see them put
- 29:32Speaker 9: in soundproofing. We want to see them put in things
- 29:37Speaker 9: that will dampen the vibrations on the infrasound because that
- 29:40Speaker 9: travels past any type of soundproofing you try to put in.
- 29:45Speaker 9: We want to see less energy usage and if they
- 29:49Speaker 9: create their own energy. I heard another state talking about this,
- 29:53Speaker 9: I think it was in Oklahoma, where say they have
- 29:55Speaker 9: a tornado, they're going to use their their power generation
- 30:00Speaker 9: to feedback into the community until they can get their
- 30:02Speaker 9: power generation back online. So we want them to be
- 30:04Speaker 9: good neighbors if they're going to be here, But we
- 30:07Speaker 9: have seen zero evidence of that in the places they've
- 30:10Speaker 9: already gone in.
- 30:11Speaker 4: Well, and I know there's been public meetings and people
- 30:13Speaker 4: spoken to the Putnam County Commission and another county is
- 30:16Speaker 4: around the state, I mean, and I know the Commission
- 30:19Speaker 4: has in their open policy, you know, open for whatever
- 30:23Speaker 4: public comment period.
- 30:24Speaker 2: I guess has allowed that.
- 30:26Speaker 4: Are there any other discussions about this plan as far
- 30:28Speaker 4: as you know.
- 30:30Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, we have a group of you mentioned it earlier,
- 30:32Speaker 9: Putnam United. So we're going to meet. We meet every
- 30:35Speaker 9: other Thursday. We're going to be meeting this Thursday. This
- 30:38Speaker 9: is going to be at the Mount Union Church on
- 30:41Speaker 9: Plantation Road at six thirty pm. Anybody who wants to
- 30:44Speaker 9: come and maybe sit in and listen. Anybody who wants
- 30:47Speaker 9: to come and participate, Anyone who wants to join the group,
- 30:50Speaker 9: you're more than welcome to we'd be glad to have you.
- 30:54Speaker 4: We had a text here, Michael, if you don't mind,
- 30:56Speaker 4: somebody wanted to know. Let me see if I can
- 30:59Speaker 4: find it here. What information is collected by data centers.
- 31:02Speaker 9: Pretty much everything. I mean, you have made a data
- 31:05Speaker 9: that when you go and browse websites on your phone.
- 31:09Speaker 9: And this is on the storage side. Okay, so on
- 31:11Speaker 9: the storage side, everything that you browse. You know, you've
- 31:14Speaker 9: heard stories of people say, hey, you know, I think
- 31:17Speaker 9: I need to get a new litter box, and next
- 31:18Speaker 9: thing you know, there's litter box ads on there. We're
- 31:22Speaker 9: the product. We are the product. So they're collecting as
- 31:25Speaker 9: much information on us as they possibly can so that
- 31:28Speaker 9: they can either sell the data or so that they
- 31:31Speaker 9: can market things to us. Now that's on the storage side.
- 31:35Speaker 9: On the computing side, they are wanting to put out
- 31:39Speaker 9: generative AI chatbots. They're wanting to a stated goal is
- 31:44Speaker 9: to replace the work as much of the workforce as
- 31:48Speaker 9: they can and automate it. And so that you know,
- 31:51Speaker 9: there's there's no demand for what they've already built, Like,
- 31:55Speaker 9: the demand isn't there. And what has happened is throughout
- 32:00Speaker 9: the two thousands and the twenty tens. You know, they
- 32:03Speaker 9: wowed the investors that kept the investor cash coming and
- 32:06Speaker 9: so the cash was free. And then you know, mid
- 32:09Speaker 9: twenty tens, the investors they started or the products started
- 32:13Speaker 9: getting stale, so the investors said, look, you've got to
- 32:15Speaker 9: give something new, and that's when they started pushing AI.
- 32:18Speaker 9: And it wasn't ready yet, but they packed it into
- 32:22Speaker 9: every aspect of their products that they could. They fired
- 32:24Speaker 9: AI ethicists who said it's not ready. They said, they
- 32:28Speaker 9: just jammed it into everything they possibly could. Adam Conover
- 32:31Speaker 9: does a really good video exposing AI. It'll never be sentient.
- 32:35Speaker 9: It doesn't even know we're here. All it does is
- 32:37Speaker 9: predict what word is most likely to come next, and
- 32:40Speaker 9: it uses every information on the internet as training data.
- 32:44Speaker 9: So it will take information from the Mayo Clinic and
- 32:47Speaker 9: it'll also take some post from some idiot on Reddit
- 32:51Speaker 9: and it'll give it equal weight and in predicting, and
- 32:54Speaker 9: a lot of times it's wrong. AI is wrong. So
- 32:57Speaker 9: if you go to Google or something and you start something,
- 33:01Speaker 9: look at the AI results and then go and actually
- 33:03Speaker 9: look at the websites below it, and you'll see just
- 33:06Speaker 9: how wrong it can often be all.
- 33:07Speaker 2: Right, do you have information about your particular group?
- 33:09Speaker 4: I know you're with Putnam United, is or like your
- 33:11Speaker 4: website social media anything like them?

- 36:54Speaker 4: ninety six one KWSNY joins us. Now, welcome to the show,
- 36:57Speaker 4: my friend, Good morning.
- 36:58Speaker 8: The award winning Drop your Snacks, that's right, that's honored
- 37:02Speaker 8: by the West Virginia Broadcasters Association. I keep saying that
- 37:05Speaker 8: the Community Impact Award, that's the one that means the most.
- 37:10Speaker 8: That's the important one. And we've been honored two years
- 37:13Speaker 8: in a row for helping our friends and neighbors with
- 37:15Speaker 8: things like Drop your Snacks, presented by the Charleston Dirty Birds,
- 37:18Speaker 8: also built by Aston Construction. If you are familiar with
- 37:22Speaker 8: our drop events, the details are the same. They are
- 37:25Speaker 8: very simple. We always try to do these on a Thursday.
- 37:27Speaker 8: We always do these here at our lot eleven eleven
- 37:31Speaker 8: Virginia Street East. If you're coming from the freeway, get
- 37:33Speaker 8: off at Leon Sullivan. It'll take you right to us.
- 37:36Speaker 8: We always do seven in the morning until six in
- 37:38Speaker 8: the evening. We always team up with Union Mission. We
- 37:40Speaker 8: make those things the same because we all have so
- 37:44Speaker 8: much mental traffic. We have so many things we're trying
- 37:47Speaker 8: to do and trying to remember that if now that
- 37:50Speaker 8: we've got this beaten into people, now, all we have
- 37:53Speaker 8: to say is what we need this time around, and
- 37:56Speaker 8: this time around we need non perishable food for kids
- 38:01Speaker 8: in need, hungry West Virginia kids this summer.
- 38:03Speaker 4: Let me be eve an example of some of the
- 38:05Speaker 4: things here. You can add to it if you want.
- 38:07Speaker 4: We're talking about granola bars, protein bars, individually wrapped crackers, goldfish, crackers, pretzels, popcorn,
- 38:15Speaker 4: fruit snacks, apple sauce, raisins, and dried fruit, breakfasted items, beef, jerky,
- 38:22Speaker 4: mixed nuts, just to name a few. Nonperishable type stuff. Yeah,
- 38:26Speaker 4: that doesn't have to I mean it's simple stuff. Stuff
- 38:29Speaker 4: that can be stuffed into a backpack or can be
- 38:31Speaker 4: stuffed into a bag and whatever. It doesn't have to
- 38:33Speaker 4: be refrigerated immediately refrigerated after opening or things of that name.
- 38:36Speaker 8: Shelf Stable is really important. And because it's summer and
- 38:40Speaker 8: because this stuff is going to get turned around more
- 38:43Speaker 8: quickly maybe than you might think. You can even include
- 38:46Speaker 8: things like prepackaged doughnuts because those are going to be
- 38:49Speaker 8: shelf stable for a while. You can see the best
- 38:52Speaker 8: buy dates on those. One of the things I'm going
- 38:55Speaker 8: to do today is make a run to my favorite
- 38:58Speaker 8: box store. And I'm a little low on groceries at
- 39:03Speaker 8: the real estate myself. So for everything I'm getting for myself,
- 39:06Speaker 8: I'm getting one more and I'm just getting a whole
- 39:09Speaker 8: bunch of other things on the list. The Recovering Missus
- 39:12Speaker 8: Reel as I kindly call max wife is a junior
- 39:16Speaker 8: high teacher and so she keeps me informed of what
- 39:20Speaker 8: the kids are really into. I know that the hot chips,
- 39:24Speaker 8: things like takis and the flaming hot Cheetos and those
- 39:26Speaker 8: sorts of things are really popular with the kids. We
- 39:29Speaker 8: want to get stuff that they're gonna eat, because well
- 39:32Speaker 8: they need to. But you don't want that four year
- 39:36Speaker 8: old can of veg all that is not gonna work.
- 39:39Speaker 8: Save that for radio people, We'll take anything it's free.
- 39:45Speaker 2: So school is out.
- 39:46Speaker 4: I know it is in Kanaw County last week in
- 39:48Speaker 4: Putnam County. I think it comes to this week. If
- 39:50Speaker 4: it's not out where you're listening to us, it will
- 39:52Speaker 4: be out soon. And the bottom line is is and
- 39:54Speaker 4: there are lots of great groups out there that try
- 39:56Speaker 4: to help. But the bottom line is a lot of
- 39:58Speaker 4: these kids rob when that's final. School bell sounds at
- 40:01Speaker 4: three o'clock on a Friday on the final day, and
- 40:04Speaker 4: they don't They don't get back in session until middle
- 40:07Speaker 4: to the end of August.
- 40:08Speaker 2: A lot of them don't have access to food.
- 40:12Speaker 8: Two thirds of West Virginia kids are doing free or
- 40:14Speaker 8: reduced cost meals at school, and many of those kids,
- 40:19Speaker 8: many of them, when school was letting out on Friday,
- 40:23Speaker 8: had remarkably little to eat until breakfast service again come Monday.
- 40:29Speaker 8: Now that school's going to be out for several weeks,
- 40:31Speaker 8: that gap has to be filled. And yes, there are
- 40:35Speaker 8: economic and policy issues, and if you want to be
- 40:39Speaker 8: mad about that, I encourage you to do so. After
- 40:41Speaker 8: you loop through our parking lot, go another mile from
- 40:44Speaker 8: us down Virginia Street to that sparkly, glittery golden dome,
- 40:47Speaker 8: shake your fist and shout on mad as hell, and
- 40:49Speaker 8: I'm not going to take it anymore. There are people
- 40:51Speaker 8: who can make those changes. We are just trying to
- 40:55Speaker 8: feed kids. That's all we're trying to do. We're not
- 40:58Speaker 8: making some sort of statement. We're not on one side
- 41:01Speaker 8: or the other. In fact, if you go through this
- 41:03Speaker 8: building and you run a pole, I think you will
- 41:04Speaker 8: find just about every political stripe, including some non political
- 41:08Speaker 8: stripes in the building. And that's okay too, And that's yes, yes,
- 41:11Speaker 8: that's that's that's part of our freedom for which I served.
- 41:15Speaker 8: But I am pound the table. Let's feed kids because
- 41:20Speaker 8: kids have no control over whether or not they're poor
- 41:23Speaker 8: and food insecure.
- 41:24Speaker 4: And again, this event is going to be tomorrow, seven
- 41:26Speaker 4: am till six pm on our parking lot eleven eleven
- 41:29Speaker 4: for Genius Red's here in Charleston. All of our stations
- 41:31Speaker 4: will be out there and well, this is one of
- 41:33Speaker 4: those all hands on deck. So you're going to see
- 41:35Speaker 4: Rob Reel, You're gonna see Steve Animal, You're gonna see
- 41:37Speaker 4: Shockley myself, Dale Cooper, you know the people that Stephen,
- 41:42Speaker 4: Jenny Woodie, people that you know from the air. But
- 41:45Speaker 4: it's also going to be our sales weasel of people.
- 41:48Speaker 4: It's also going to be folks from the engineering department.
- 41:50Speaker 4: It's going to be folks from the office and things
- 41:52Speaker 4: of that nature, people that you may not necessarily know,
- 41:54Speaker 4: because that's how much we all believe in this project.
- 41:57Speaker 8: You know, we we're not just mouthing it when we
- 41:58Speaker 8: say w VRC ME cares about our community and we're
- 42:01Speaker 8: proud to live here too. I've worked for so many
- 42:04Speaker 8: other companies in so many other places, and we really
- 42:08Speaker 8: mean it when we talk about helping our friends and neighbors.
- 42:11Speaker 8: It's easy to put up a website or to you know,
- 42:14Speaker 8: to mention a phone number or you know, especially if
- 42:18Speaker 8: you're doing your radio show from places like Atlanta or
- 42:21Speaker 8: Los Angeles or San Antonio. We are all here in Charleston,
- 42:27Speaker 8: in West Virginia, rolling up our sleeves doing the work
- 42:30Speaker 8: because West Virginians take care of West Virginia.
- 42:32Speaker 4: A big shout out to Union Mission. Jason and the
- 42:34Speaker 4: folks will be here with us tomorrow and you can
- 42:36Speaker 4: go to their website.

- 42:45Speaker 8: credit or debit card donation to go. Drop your snacks

- 43:04Speaker 4: and six pm. You don't even have to get it
- 43:06Speaker 4: out of your car. It's a cool thing about it.
- 43:08Speaker 4: Pull onto our parking lot. We will have people out
- 43:10Speaker 4: there at least at any given time, there's at least
- 43:12Speaker 4: three to four sometimes more people out there. And it's
- 43:15Speaker 4: going to be a beautiful day to Mars. It's gonna
- 43:16Speaker 4: be a little bit warm, but it beats being in
- 43:18Speaker 4: rain and thunderstorms. So we'll all be out there. I'll
- 43:21Speaker 4: be out there at various points throughout the day, but
- 43:23Speaker 4: others will be out there pretty much all day collecting
- 43:26Speaker 4: these items. And look, folks, it doesn't matter if you
- 43:29Speaker 4: bring us two or three bags of pretzels, or you
- 43:32Speaker 4: go do as Rob said, your local giant box store
- 43:35Speaker 4: and you bring back.
- 43:36Speaker 8: A truckload of pretzels. It was named my band in college,
- 43:39Speaker 8: by the way, truckload of press. Rus load of press.
- 43:41Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll take it. I mean, it doesn't matter how
- 43:45Speaker 4: big how small we're there for. Every drop in the
- 43:48Speaker 4: bucket starts to add up. And as I've told the
- 43:52Speaker 4: upreal early birds, if you're not hearing my voice on
- 43:54Speaker 4: the radio at that given moment, I will be out
- 43:57Speaker 4: on the parking lot.
- 43:58Speaker 8: I'm the guy who starts with this.
- 44:00Speaker 2: That up.
- 44:01Speaker 8: I'm the first one out there. I'm the last one
- 44:03Speaker 8: off the parking lot. It's kind of a tradition now
- 44:05Speaker 8: with our drop events that I do a video as
- 44:07Speaker 8: the last one on the parking lot. This is obviously
- 44:11Speaker 8: something that's very important to me, but it touches every
- 44:14Speaker 8: single West Virginian. So we want to see you tomorrow.
- 44:19Speaker 8: Don't have to get out of that nice, comfortable, air
- 44:21Speaker 8: conditioned vehicle.

- 44:23Speaker 4: Jason Quintreil from Union Mission is going to join us,
