3:10
Let's talk some business now. I want to welcome and Ashley offered Glance,
3:13
who is executive director of the Putnam County Chamber of Commerce. Good morning,
3:16
miss offered Glance. Good morning Dave. How you doing and find happy belated
3:22
birthday by the way, Oh, thank you, thank you. Hearing much.
3:24
Seems like just last year you had one. It was not that long
3:28
ago. Y. Yeah. Well, a happy early Thanksgiving to you and
3:30
the family and everybody there at the Chamber as well. Thank you, thank
3:35
you you as well. Now, before we get to Thanksgiving to Black Friday,
3:38
I want to talk about several things with you. Overall, what's been
3:42
going on at Putnam County from a business perspective, overall, everything's going really
3:46
great here in Putnam County. We've got new businesses opening every week. It
3:50
is our favorite time of year where we like to encourage people to shop small
3:53
during the holiday season. We have so many great locally owned restaurants, boutiques
4:00
all that. So we you know, we've got a lot going on.
4:03
We've got some holiday campaigns going on, and you know, a lot,
4:09
just a lot. The area's growing, it is. Indeed, I saw
4:12
where some some groups have gotten together over there, I guess last week or
4:16
in the recent pass there and did a sort of a of a welcome to
4:20
town event for the families that are moving in for new course Steel. Oh
4:25
sure, absolutely so we we we are always excited to have new residents join
4:30
us here in Punnham County, and so we just like to make sure that
4:33
they feel welcome and that their transition here to being a new West Virginia residents
4:39
is as seamless as possible. So anything that we can do to assist them
4:42
in their transition, that's what we're here to do. Love seeing people moving
4:46
into the area, you know, whether it's Putnham County where both you and
4:48
I live, or Canais or just get here. Did we need yeah,
4:53
just come. Obviously we love them to pick Putnham County, but you know,
4:58
there are other great place of the state to live as well, but
5:00
none as good as Putnam County though. That's what I mean, I am
5:04
biased as I want to talk a little bit about Black Friday and in small
5:10
business Saturday. What's on the agenda this year? Sure? Sure, sure,
5:14
So you know, Black Friday is obviously one of the largest shopping days
5:16
of the year, and a lot of our lovely owned businesses will be open
5:23
on Black Frinday as well, offering deals and specials. But but the but
5:27
the super Bowl of small businesses on Saturday, Shop Small Saturday, and all
5:32
of our locally owned businesses will be open and you'll be able to go there
5:36
and get gifts for anyone on your list. We have everything you know you
5:44
can. You can absolutely shop small for your holidays this this season here in
5:49
Kunham County. And you can start. I mean, I'll just kind of
5:53
focus on Tays Valley for a moment. Of course, you know there's a
5:55
whole lot more than just Tay's Valley, but but I'll start with there.
5:58
I mean, you could start at one end of Tays Valley, maybe just
6:00
off the Tay's Valley exit and uh uh and just and go straight all the
6:04
way down into Hurricane and stop it. I don't know. I mean,
6:06
I don't even know how many businesses are there. I mean and again locally
6:10
owned and operated businesses absolutely, you know. And you can even start as
6:15
far as Poka. There's a peak over in PoCA in the Poker shopping plaza,
6:19
so you can even you can even start as far as if you're if
6:23
you're not from Putnam County, or even if you are, you can start
6:26
on one end of sixty four there and make your way all the way through.
6:30
You know, I've actually never counted how many businesses we have along Tays
6:34
Valley Road. Uh that that that you could shop at on Saturday. I
6:40
was actually telling somebody earlier. You know, it used to be here in
6:44
Pundham County that on shops on on Saturday, I could go out and you
6:47
know, make an actual stop at every one of our businesses that was open.
6:51
But now there's there's too many. There would be no way I couldn't
6:56
do it. So there's gonna be some really great things going on. But
7:00
like Dave, like you said, yes, you can start on one side
7:01
of the valley and go all the way through down to main Street and then
7:05
hit some of our other areas as well. We've got some great, great
7:10
things over in Winfield. We've got some great places in PoCA. So if
7:15
you're just looking for unique things that you might not find, you know,
7:18
elsewhere, feel free to give us a call at the Chamber. We can
7:23
obviously make recommendations, but you can also visit Puttenham County dot org slash holidays
7:29
and that will send you to a list of all the places you should be
7:32
shopping this weekend at that website again for us Putnam County dot org splash Holidays.
7:38
That's good stuff. Again, we're talking without Ashley Offered Glances, Executive
7:41
director of the Putnam County Chamber of Commerce, and also understand there's some big
7:45
things going on at Valley Park as well. Yeah, absolutely so. Well,
7:48
there's a couple of different outside of our traditional brick and mortars that are
7:53
going to be open, you know, our boutiques and all of that.
7:57
There are going to be some shop small Saturday pop up so people that are
8:01
home based businesses that don't have a traditional storefront, they're going to be out
8:05
on Saturday as well. So we actually have one pop up here at Area
8:07
thirty four. It's going to have seventeen vendors in it. Down at Valley
8:13
Park there's going to be a ven there's a shop Small Saturday event that has
8:18
sixty vendors. And then also down at social Events based on Main Street actually
8:22
Deal there's the new one of our newest event venues here in Hutton County.
8:26
She is hosting a shop Small Saturday event with some vendors as well. So
8:31
and I might have missed one another, I might have missed one. I'm
8:35
not sure if there's anything going on as a garage or not. Sometimes they'll
8:37
do things. But but yeah, so not only will we have our traditional
8:41
businesses that are open, but we'll have some of our artisans and home based
8:45
businesses out and about as well. And what I like about these things,
8:50
Ashley, is these are buy and large things that you can't get on Amazon.
8:54
You know, you're not going to go to a to a big box
8:56
store and be able to find these things. That's what I'll love about them
9:00
is these are truly truly to use the tired advertising cliche that we've used forever
9:05
in radio and television and print is it's it's truly one of the kind stuff,
9:11
unique gifts that you can't get anywhere else. Absolutely, And if you
9:13
have people that are you know, you don't know, you know, you
9:16
want to get them something nice. There's nothing better than you can do than
9:20
to give them something, something that's locally made, that reminds you know,
9:24
that reminds you of them. And so when you're out, you know,
9:28
you can do jewelry, you can do soaps, you can do. It
9:31
doesn't have to be, you know, something something big and glamorous. It
9:35
can it can honestly be something you know that they can enjoy every single day
9:41
and that was made here locally in Putnam County or in West Virginia. Is
9:46
my girl Connie there at Putnam Provisions at Area thirty four. She's gonna be
9:50
serving up coffee on Saturday, she is. Yeah, So we're having a
9:52
shop small Saturday vendor event here and so Connie will be here and Putnam Provisions
9:56
will be open. We have uh we have a packed house for that event.
10:03
It'll go on from nine until two, I believe. But yeah,
10:09
Connie will be open so you can come and get caffeinated at Putnam Provisions.
10:13
Uh. Any she has every everything you could possibly want as far as the
10:18
local local coffee shop. UH serve they've got it all and and so she'll
10:26
be open and then we'll have the we'll have Area thirty four Patchful Avengers as
10:28
well some of our other chamber members that are local local artisans like the Doodle
10:33
and Rue and regarding a Jewelry and a few others. So so yeah,
10:39
you're not gonna want to miss it. There there will be if you don't
10:43
get your shopping done on Saturday. Get your I mean, I wasn't gonna
10:48
be that harsh, but but that's but that's the gist of it. You
10:52
know, I actually already started, so uh here in Putnam Provisions in Area
10:56
thirty four, a lot of our we have a lot of our art that
11:01
you can get their stuff every day here, and so I have actually already
11:05
started because I didn't want to miss you know, yeah, I didn't want
11:09
to miss the good. I get it, I get it, I get
11:11
And I'll close with this. You mentioned about new businesses opening up every week
11:16
in Putnam County. It seems like every time I turn around, I'm getting
11:20
an invite from you folks to come to a ribbon cutting or whatever. I
11:24
hear that we got a new steakhouse, an Italian restaurant that's going to be
11:28
opening. I think original plan was Monday. Don't have an update on that.
11:31
Sergio's which is on Main Street in Hurricane, that's the former Connelly's Irish
11:35
publication. I think they're going to be opening up hopefully Monday. If not
11:39
then then soon. Always great to have another locally owned, locally owned eatery
11:45
in Putnam County. Absolutely, you know, Sergio's is opening, you know,
11:50
hopefully next week. We'll do the grand opening a little bit later.
11:54
But he did take over the old Connolly's and he if you guys have been
11:58
to Guadalajara, Modern Mexican, Sergio is also the owner of that and he
12:03
is a phenomenal business owner here in Pennam County. He's got some great ideas
12:11
and I can't wait to see Sergio's open. Everyone always asks for a steakhouse.
12:15
Well here it is, guys. It's going to be open soon.
12:18
So on Main Street and Hurricane in the old Connolly's location. So Italian and
12:24
Italian and steaks. That's, I mean, two of my favorite things in
12:28
the world right here, Steaks in Italian. You just put them together,
12:30
right, Ashley. I was always doing a great job. I appreciate you
12:33
joining this this morning, and I'll be seeing you out at about Friday and
12:37
Saturday. Thanks a lot, all right, Thanks Dave Ashley offered glance again,
12:39
the executive director of the Putnam County Chamber of Commerce. And again there's
12:43
been a theme this week and in the three days of Done shows this week,
12:46
I've said, shop local, Shop local. You know, you know,
12:52
when was the last time Amazon donated to your local Little League team?
12:56
When was the last time that Amazon donated anything to your church or to your
13:00
school group, or your band or whatever. You know, God bless those
13:03
people. But let's try to keep it local as best we can. And
13:07
I mentioned Putnam County, but we've got other other places in the Canau Valley.
13:13
I mean, I've hit ad nauseum what's going on here in Charleston and
13:16
all the other places in our listening area doing pretty much the same thing.
13:20
So shop local, not just on Friday and Saturday, but year round when
13:24
possible. It's nine to twenty. You know, the impact of special Olympics

Ford Sales fourth annual Charleston Police Department Winter Wonderland Toy Drive is about to
16:11
get underway for this year with us this morning, we got a cast of
16:12
thousands here. I'm gonna start with my good friend David Payne from the Charleston
16:15
Police Department. We got John Brown here, we got Laurence Swanson, we
16:18
got Robert King, we got Marsha Peter, Jan Sandy, we got everybody
16:22
here. I think David, let's start to Let's start with you. Good
16:25
morning, sir, How are you? Good morning? I'm great, How
16:26
are you? I'm fine, Thanks for being here. And hello to everyone
16:29
else. Everybody just say hello one time. It's like I feel like we
16:33
sh have to sing along or something in everybody, but Dave don't sing,
16:37
so that's not gonna happen. All right, I'm about pain. Do you
16:40
sing? Are you a singer? No? I'm not. Okay, I
16:42
mean all right, So, Holly Jolly Brawley. Is this Friday and Saturday,
16:47
you guys are gonna be setting up collecting toys. Let's talk about exactly
16:51
what it is that you're looking for. What we're looking for is we're looking
16:55
for toys, Brandy toys for children age zero to eighteen, rap toys.
17:00
We'll be located there on Summer Street. Uh, starting on Friday and Saturday.
17:06
UH. All you have to do is come down. We'll have our
17:07
truck there in the tent. John will be there with the Astrogatto and some
17:11
some vehicles. So, uh, yeah, I want to and let's welcome
17:15
in John Brown. How are you, sir? I'm doing fine. How
17:18
much yourself I'm doing I'm doing fine. Welcome to the show. Thank you
17:21
for having us. And so short notice, let's talk about Astrogado's involvement in
17:26
this. Well, I'm gonna have to turn to Michael and Rob King because
17:30
he's been involved with the Charleston Police Department from the from the from the beginning,
17:36
so he knows more, uh the history of how astork Otto of Charleston
17:41
got involved with Lieutenant David Payne and uh in the in the gang and so
17:45
I'll pass the mic to him so he can give you guys some insight.
17:48
All right, all right, John. Basically, our involvement kind of came
17:52
about because of a unfortunate tragedy in the Charleston area with patrol Officer Cassie Johnson.
18:00
My owner Jamie Spears, kind of came downstairs and it was like,
18:03
I want to get involved, what's the best way to do so? And
18:06
I got a hold of David Payne and it's kind of run from there.
18:11
Yeah, and it's in pain. You've been on the show in the past
18:15
and you've talked about these different events that go on because you kind of get
18:18
your pulse on what's going on in the community out there. Is Charleston an
18:22
amazing place for what when it comes to giving back like this, Oh,
18:25
it's huge. I believe that we really I've done some research and I think
18:30
we really had the biggest toy drive anywhere in the US last year. We
18:34
were able to give or provide toys for children and approximately about seven hundred and
18:40
fifty children last year. So Charleston, we really have a big heart,
18:42
really give, really come out and support really everything that we do. And
18:47
so what's going to happen here is Holly Jolly Browley. We've been talking about
18:49
that. It's in the weather. By the way, it's been kind of
18:52
crappy yesterday, but everything looks great, I think all the ways through the
18:55
Thanksgiving weekend. So we're gonna have a tent set up down there at Holly
18:59
Jolly. That would be a great place for you to drop off your toy
19:02
items when you bring the family down. But there's also going to be other
19:04
places that you can drop it if you can't make it down to Holly Jolly
19:07
Browley. Correct, we're actually going to be out at Low's actually starting Black
19:11
Friday, six o'clock am. Sanda is going to be there with muffins.
19:15
Also, you're going to get the hot dog if you drop off a toy
19:18
prepared by City Dogs, and then we'll be on off or we'll be off
19:22
to Holly Jolly Brawley. And you can also drop off your items at Astorgato
19:27
Charleston, also the Hall House and again the main event, I guess is
19:33
going to be at the Benny Keaton parking Lot on December the thirteenth and fourteenth,
19:37
from eleven to seventh. That's kind of like the distribution you know.
19:40
That's actually our big toy collection. Oh, that's a big one. That's
19:44
where we actually have the Wonderland, the toy Wonderland, Okay, the Christmas
19:47
trees, blow ups, bouncy houses, coco. It's a funny event.
19:51
Bring the kids out. We'll usually give them treats, usually some reindeer gear.
19:56
And that's on December the thirteenth and fourteenth, right, correct, eleven
19:59
to seven. Alright, let's bring it Lauren here, Lauren what is your
20:02
what's your role in all this? Laurence Swanson, Good morning. I'm helping
20:04
with some of the graphic design and the promotion of this event online. Well,
20:08
I've seen what you've put together already online. Looks so pretty good.
20:11
Though that your background is graphic design, that sort of thing, it is,
20:15
Yes, thank you, well, I appreciate you guys taking time with
20:19
your schedule to beer. We're not done yet, though, I want to
20:21
get into some specifics. What kind of toys are you looking for? I
20:25
mean, as long as they're just new and unwrapped, that's pretty much it,
20:26
right, correct, correct, We're any unwrapped toys usually have a problem
20:32
getting toys for children, usually age twelve to eighteen is usually so just keep
20:36
that in mind when you're shopping. Usually, if we can't find a toy
20:40
for child, we actually give them a gift card. Last year, we
20:42
were also able to do a Secret Santa where we actually gave out two thousand
20:45
dollars in food coupons for grocery Shopings. Acts provide dinner to individuals about Charleston,
20:52
and actually we don't just focus on Charleston. We actually serve kids all
20:56
over West Virginia. You'd be surprised how many people come from other plays to
21:00
actually receive a toy for their children. That's amazing. Again, we are
21:06
talking with with John Brown, Robert King, Lawrence Wantson, and Lieutenant David
21:08
Paine from the Charleston Police Department. To John, you've been kind of silent
21:11
and this you're kind of playing the photography guy over there. So so what
21:15
what what's what's your rolling all this? Well, you know, you know,
21:18
I'm kind of not really shy, but just when it's time to get
21:22
onto mic and talk and like when I was at Marshall University, I never
21:26
did any interviews after the basketball game. I would kind of just run in
21:30
the locker room go hurt by the way, Yeah, thank you very much.
21:33
Okay, we could probably use you with Mall. We could probably d'An
21:37
tony could probably use you right now because the first couple of games have been
21:38
pretty rough. He's always asked me if I got any eligibility, we need
21:42
you out there. What's your rolling all this? Well, Rob and David
21:47
Payne came up to me and said, hey, we need another person to
21:51
kind of get out in the community and do some advertising for us and try
21:55
to just raise raise awareness about the Charleston Police Apartment toy drive. And so,
22:00
you know, just by the position me and Rob King is in,
22:04
we deal with a lot of people in the public and we know a lot
22:07
of you know, just say people in hot places that they can say,
22:11
okay, John, Yeah, I wouldn't mind helping you guys. And you
22:15
know, just when I go out, I normally go out door to door
22:18
and just introduce myself and hey, I'm big John, and I would like
22:22
to see if you would like to, you know, be a sponsor and
22:25
a good cause for just helping kids. Not only in Charleston, but you
22:30
can be in Logan, you can be in Bluefield, you can be in
22:33
you know, a Huntington. So if any sponsors out there listening, this
22:37
is not just for the kids in county. This is for all kids in
22:42
West Virginia. When Lieutenant David Payne and the Charleston Police Department put on their
22:47
website that if any families need help, guys, you can be in you
22:52
know, like I said, Princeton, West Virginia, come on down and
22:55
you know, we'll try to do our best. And you know, Rob
22:57
Is has been great and uh, bringing me aboard and it's just just something
23:03
I like to do and it's you know, at no cost of you know
23:10
me or anybody else. So just just come out and help the kids.
23:12
And these type things, guys, are not possible without the help of a
23:15
lot of business sponsors and I know Astrogato, you guys are in studio today,
23:21
Elko Mechanical, Kevin P. Davis, Attorney at Law Hallhouse, Vino's
23:25
Bar and Grill Select Cards are collectible site sounds and speed so l Ango Law
23:29
Lows Home Improvement on the East and so so again you've got a little bit
23:33
of everybody involved in this and that's what and pain that kind of goes back
23:37
to what I was saying before, is what a giving area that that this
23:41
is and West Virginia is in general. Oh correct, Yeah, without them,
23:45
none, none of this really would be possible. We also have Quantum
23:48
Sports that actually donates a lot. Chick fil A actually gave us some gift
23:52
cards to give out for anyone that donates a toy. So just come by
23:56
the toy drive and we'll give you a treat to Chick fil A. Now
24:00
talk about the distribution. I know you get this event going on and then
24:03
your big toy drives. You said it's a do BENNI ketom shrined out there
24:07
on the parking lot on the thirteenth and fourteenth. But talk about how the
24:10
distribution works. So what happens is that we actually put out a list where
24:12
you can actually sign your child up for toy. We usually do that during
24:17
the toy drive. That way we can gauge how many applicants we can actually
24:22
receive. Then we take the toys over to the Charleston Colisseum the convention Center
24:26
to actually distribute. So the distribution will take place on the eighteenth and nineteenth.
24:30
You'll go to you'll follow our Facebook page with Charleston, WV Police,
24:36
and that way you can sign your child up and actually find out when the
24:38
distribution of the times are. And you know, I guess throughout the years,
24:44
and I'm old, but no matter what your socioeconomic background is, there's
24:48
always that one toy that a kid wants for Christmas and sometimes you know,
24:53
I guess parents tell kids, you know, throughout the year, be a
24:56
good boy, be a good girl, and you're gonna get the skiff.
24:59
And more heartbreaking than for the parent not to be able to do that.
25:03
You know, the funds just aren't there. This has happened, that's happened.
25:07
But I think it's great that you guys and gals, you work together
25:10
and you try to be able to make this happen for these kids. Sure.
25:12
Yeah, we don't want any kid to go with that a toy for
25:15
Christmas. Yeah. And of course we've had the gas crisis on the West
25:19
Side and I've got actually, I've got city councilor Larry Moore, it's gonna
25:22
be coming in to talk about that right after you. So it's been a
25:26
rough couple of weeks for a lot of people in Charles, but I have
25:27
a feeling that you're still going to see that West Virginia comes through. It
25:32
comes through, we always do. I mean, last week we had our
25:36
first ever turkey drop here where we encouraged and never done it before, and
25:41
we asked people to come in and donate frozen turkeys and I don't even know
25:44
how many we ended up with total and how much cash. People just came
25:47
in and said, hey, I want to help about here, here's here,
25:49
here's a box of five frozen turkeys, here's cash. You know that's
25:52
real that's what we do in West Virginia, sir. We have a great
25:55
community and we're really lucky to to actually be in living here in Charlo exactly
26:00
right, all right, So let's go over all the particulars again because we've
26:03
thrown out a lot of facts and figures. So it's a fourth annual Charleston
26:06
Police Department Wonderland Toy Drive. This is for kids through eighteenth throughout our state,
26:11
not just in Charleston. As you said, your web goes all over
26:15
and the sponsors of it, I mentioned them early, have made it all
26:18
possible. So now a Holly Jolly Braley, you guys are going to be
26:21
set up under a tent down there, so bring a toy or two as
26:25
you come out with the family. And Holly Jolly Braley's fantastic. By the
26:27
way it's going to be. It's I mean, it's they're already working on
26:30
it and had those folks on there, so you got that going on,
26:33
and then you're going to be collecting those there also at Astrogato of Charleston and
26:37
the Hall House, and hats off to you guys for doing this, and
26:41
then you're going to have on December the thirteenth and fourteenth. That's when you're
26:45
gonna have your big event there at the Benny Keata s Trin real good friends
26:48
with Chris and those guys done at the Shrine Club. They do a fantastic
26:51
job as well. Yeah. So, and where can people learn more?
26:55
Let's give out the website, social media. Whatever you got on Facebook page
26:59

27:14
close that that it's possible there are people that are listening to this show that
27:18
are maybe business owners today that are saying, Hey, look I'm stuck at
27:22
the office, I'm stuck here at the shop. I'd like to I'd like
27:23
to help out mention a few of those sponsors. You're taking more, You
27:27
definitely take more. We are. We actually just posted this morning on our
27:30
Facebook page a sponsorship page where you actually can go there and click on your
27:34
donation and it actually is it goes to our CPAAA, which collects the money
27:41
and actually goes out and does our shopping for us. How cool is that?
27:45
Who gets to do that? Who gets to do the shop? I
27:47
mean, I me know, you guys do. But do you do you
27:49
do you get to be a part of that at all the shopping? Oh?
27:52
We do. We do. We actually find we know the needs of
27:53
some of the kids and we actually go out and shop for them also.

time, so many uh United Way, man, I can't say enough,
36:16
Miss O'Neil, their whole crew over there, Health right. They've been phenomenal.
36:22
Like I said, health right, open the doors up. They've been
36:23
feeding people every night from five to seven. They've been distributing goods that we
36:30
got because of Governor Justice when he declared our area disaster area. So they've
36:36
been a wonderful. The Red Cross. I can't say enough about them because
36:38
when it started that that first Saturday night they opened up a warming zone.
36:44
Bring Church. Derek and them guys over there are man awesome. Man Or
36:49
Meal has been giving out food, Keep your Faith Corporation and uh, the
36:53
City of Charleston. But I can say, Mayor Goodwin, it's been a
36:55
one and I got to give enough. Like Mountaineer Gas, Moses Scaff and
37:01
Dave Lockett Man, them guys have been I mean on top of it.
37:06
They've been very transparent with us. Man and uh, I mean mister Scaff,
37:09
he's been walking around. I see him every day. He's coming to
37:12
the neighborhood. He's walking around to his cruise like he's he showed me what
37:15
was going on. So I can appreciate him because now I had to make
37:19
a post. People were asking what's going on, and I was like,
37:21
I have to I don't know, so I don't know all acted information.
37:23
So he showed me exactly what was going on. So I was able to
37:27
make a post on Facebook to show people what was going on in the process,
37:30
which eased a lot of people's minds because they didn't know what was going
37:32
on. And I'm and it's a lot of people in the community. I
37:35
mean, like, like it's just been so many people and organizations. Man
37:38
even again on the West side, I give his name is Martech. He's
37:42
been he's been a real vocal people on the West Side too. Councilman Mike
37:45
Ferrell, his wife Megan Ferrol. I mean Meghan, I call her like
37:49
I made a post like I called her the willing and dealing man because she's
37:52
been getting everything you need. And Meghan, you know, and I'm prayers
37:54
with Meghan and Mike. They they had a great loss yesterday to their family
38:00
and uh but like I went to Megan, she had made a deal to
38:02
go to aid and Z and Saint olbans Man, and I mean, it's
38:05
it's been such loved about this. This is the county state wise, what's
38:07
been going on. But a to Z donated so much stuff to us and
38:12
helped out a lot of people, So davey know if I if I miss
38:15
anybody, I'm telling you, I don't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
38:20
The story posted Larry, I don't know whether you've had a chance to
38:22
see it or not wv Metronews dot com. And it all came with some
38:25
information that came out from out in there Gas yesterday that the situation there actually
38:29
may be worse than originally thought as far as the numbers go, because there
38:35
have been more people impacted than what they originally thought. They've made great,
38:38
great strides in getting people back online and mean compared to where we were this
38:42
time. But if you're like Larry Moore and you're sitting in your house,
38:45
you're thinking, well, you got a hoodie on going, Well, well
38:47
that's nice. But we appreciate the help, but we do really let to
38:51
try to get this thing going even more. And and and I know Larry
38:57
that there are thousands of others, you know, citizens are looking at this
39:01
right now that are just saying what happened and how do we keep this from
39:07
happening again. I know this is not your field of expertise, it certainly
39:09
ain't mine, uh, but but we're learning more about this and we got
39:13
to make sure this does not happen again. Yeah, like from what we
39:16
were hearing, it's like a water line burst and it got into the gas
39:20
line. That's what we know. What we found out because I'm telling you,
39:23
like Friday night, all of a sudden or my gas I work in,
39:28
and I was like, man, this is nuts. So you know,
39:30
my bill was paid the first thing you do so and then Saturday morning,
39:36
you know, like none of us had any idea what was going on.
39:39
And then hopped those social media and people were like it was a gas
39:43
it was a water line and it was a leak. And I was like,
39:45
well, somebody got to tell us something. So, I mean,
39:49
we had to do a water boil of Ivory. I mean it was.
39:51
It was for the first like forty eight hours. It was kind of it
39:52
was tough. We got the water back on, yeah, but then we
39:54
had to boil the water. But then the thing about it, you couldn't
39:57
boil the water because you had any gas. Yeah, so we were sitting
40:00
there like I mean it was I mean that's how it got real for a
40:02
minute, because you sitting and thinking like man like almost like a little bit
40:05
like the water vinsery a little bit but not as bad. But you know,
40:07
you were like because people have gas, like I have gas, so
40:10
people were like you got to boil your water, but you couldn't boil your
40:14
water because you had gas. So you were just sitting around like, man,
40:16
what I'm gonna do. So that's when, like, I mean,
40:20
we just wanted like more of a heads up and I think there'll be more
40:23
a better I guess information dispersual next time this goes on, because yeah,
40:30
I hope so too, because I mean it was because I know I Saturday
40:31
that Saturday morning, I was like I woke up and I was like,
40:35
I know people who couldn't get out the needed heater. So I went and
40:38
personally and bought some myself and was going to people I know who had kids,
40:43
or elderly people or disabled people I know who couldn't get out. So
40:45
because I saw I could do because I didn't know what else to do.
40:47
But I did give a call to the city that Saturday morning, and they
40:52
they jumped into action quick. That's why I said, red Cross came and
40:55
I said, man and Meal showed up on the save a lot of park
40:58
with old table, lot of parking lot giving out food. So people sprung
41:01
the action quick for us. And I can say thank you on that,
41:05
counsel Larry Morris here, considering the circumstances, councilman, how would you rate
41:08
the response of the companies here Mountaineer Gas and West Virginian American Water. Mountaineer
41:15
Gas has been like I can't. Once again, I give them a kudos.
41:20
I mean, man Dave and mister Moses and them they guys, yeah,
41:27
yep, this is a scaff yeah, man, them guys have been
41:30
boots boots on them because like I said, last Saturday, Jared Terrace is
41:34
building on the west side with it hosts like ulderly folks and disabled and they
41:38
were out without gas and they got them on Saturday and they were over there
41:44
just walking around talking to people. And mister Scaff's, like I said,
41:46
he's been in the neighborhood all the time. His neighbor room was every night.
41:49
I can see mister Scaff going to his cruise and his checking on stuff.
41:52
And Dave to uh, the water company, they've been, they've been.
41:54
They've been highly active too, they really have. They've been. They've
41:58
been helping out because a lot of criticism, and I didn't ask you on
42:01
the show to criticize them accounts of more because but but but there has been
42:05
a lot of criticism of West Virginia American water in this situation. Now,
42:07
I mean, I know you've heard it, you know, but I can
42:13
say they have been like because there's been a few, like a few instances
42:15
where the water lines have been pierced to whateveryone's being working and they have been
42:20
on top of that and they have to make sure they got the water or
42:22
water going back. But like I've I've had more contact with the gas people
42:28
just because I guess they've been more because it's been more of them having to
42:30
get their lines fixed and get the water out the line, so they've been
42:32
more boots on the ground. Mister scaff I know, has been on this
42:36
show to been on Hoppy a couple of times as well, and he's he's
42:37
been right out there in front of it, and he you know, and
42:42
Larry he said on the show when I had him on last week, he
42:44
said, thirty two years of this, we've never seen anything like this,
42:46
and it seems like that the more we peel it back, we find even
42:51
more. It's like it's like piling on at this point. Yeah, And
42:53
I just think, you know, over the years of infrastructure, you know,
42:55
the West Side, and I know people get always the West Side,
42:59
but ruthfully like infrastructure and stuff, and so the years of neglect sometimes and
43:04
it builds upon things when you I mean, when you don't maybe it might
43:07
have been sixty seventy years maybe since they've maybe updated lines in that side of
43:12
town. And then after well, things are going to happen and it's going
43:15
to erode. It's just it's part of this party. Infrastructure and our crumbling
43:19
infrastructures are problem nation wise, and nothing else matters if we don't get the
43:22
infrastructure. Face You're right about that, Uh, Larry, What does today
43:25
and tomorrow in the next couple of days look like for for you and the
43:29
people of the West Side. Well, you know, you know, we're
43:31
gonna try to make the best at the best situation. I don't know.
43:36
Last night, but keep your faith. Corporation, we had our things giving
43:37
dinner and uh we fed lots of people. We gave out a lot of
43:42
stuff like I shout out tomorrow fraternity gonna make a sci fi. We ought
43:45
we made food boxes for many people. And I want to say thank you
43:50
to also David Payne for the Chelsea Police Department. He was there helping us
43:52
pass our boxes. We fed over one hundred families with this boxes to keep
43:57
them going throughout the rest of the week in uh but we fed a lot
44:00
of people with dinners and then I got say, a lot of people were
44:02
very optimistic. I'm telling you, just like just talking to the people out
44:06
there, they all everybody's spirit was up even though it's a bad time.
44:09
I mean, like it's gonna be different because like right now, it's funny
44:13
because like Thanksgiving, you know these my mom does his cooking and all this
44:15
and whatnot. So we're talking about, well we're gonna order for somebody and
44:20
make it up for Christmas, you know. So look at the best side
44:22
of it and make the best out of a bad situation. So, I
44:24
mean, I just if anybody needs anything, I know, if I can
44:28
do anything, just give me a call and I'll do my best. Of
44:30
people out who are not able, because I'm in a situation where I'm able
44:34
to do more for myself than some people I know who can't. So I
44:38
mean, I just feel good, you know, and I said, hopefully
44:42
the gas company is on my street now, hopefully when I leave here,
44:45
I could take a hot shower tonight. Your water bill is gonna be five
44:49
hundred dollars because you're going to spend about that about three hours in the shower.
44:52
I understand how that goes. Anything As we close, counsel and anything
44:55
you'd like to say to the people of the West Side and they closing thoughts.
45:00

45:01

Dear Dave, busy busy shows lately, got to admit I missed the
50:13
show the slow Day, Grumpy old Man rants and your terrible sports takes.
50:19
Happy Thanksgiving, Charleston, don't drink too much and throw our scooters in the
50:22
river. According to a test, Well, you know I can't always be,
50:28
you know, grumpy old Dave, especially when it's time for Thanksgiving.
50:31
And we know what the cowboys are going to do to the commanders tomorrow.
50:34
So you know that'll put me. That'll put me in a good movie.
50:37
I do want to get back to the gas crisis though for a moment,
50:39
as a reference earlier, and it is the lead story this oneningwv metronews dot
50:44
com. The gas crisis appears to be worse than what was originally thought.
50:50
Now you could probably bottle that and play it back every day at this time,
50:53
because we keep saying that. But did they just keep uncovering other the
51:00
councilman more and I talked about this the governor yesterday taking aim at West Virginia
51:05
American Water Company, saying he can't imagine that the Public Service Commission would grant
51:10
the water company's request for a rate hike. Now, the Governor went on
51:15
to criticize the water company for what he believes is a lack of participation in
51:21
the efforts to get everyone back online. Quoting the governor, now, the
51:24
water company ought to be the first and foremost in doing anything that they could
51:29
possibly do to help. And quote Megan Hannah, who is a West Virginian
51:34
American Waters senior manager of Governmental and external affairs, told our news department yesterday
51:37
that the water company has been engaging with the city in residence throughout this crisis,
51:44
and Councilman More even alluded to that bit. I will say this as
51:47
a personal note. I've known Megan Hannah for a number of years, and
51:51
I've always found her to be a stand up, just all around good person.
51:54
That having been said, I can't imagine what it's like to be the
52:00
pr person for West Virginian American Water Company over the last like ten years or
52:06
so. They're they're doing the lord's work out there right now. I mean,
52:09
I be honest with you. It's it can't be easy to be the
52:13
PR team for West Virginia American Water. They've had a they had a rough
52:17
go of it for sure. Just want to get this out here. Our
52:21

52:23
