  Speaker 6: Ale Workman Education Center. And then there'll be dog water stations.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Now I've spent a little time with different folks talking
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: about this wildlife education center that's the CLAUDA. Workman Wildlife
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Education Center. Tell us what you know about that? I mean,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: it's a fantastic facility that a lot of people here
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: in the kanav Valley may not know a lot about it.
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: If you don't know where it is. It's at three
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: oh one forks of Coal Way in alam Creek. That's
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: about three miles south of South Ridge. It's going to
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: set on your right if you leave South Ridge heading
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: out the Quarter, you kind of miss it if you're
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: not looking for it. There is a sign that directs you,
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: so when you turn in to your right, you're going
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: to make another right and that'll take you out of
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: small short road that you paralleled on your way on
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: the Quarter and you'll park in a huge parking lot
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: and that's where the event will also take place. The
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: education Center is everything that has speaks so well about
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: our state and about the Alam Creek area. And we
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: partnered with the DNR Department Natural Resources. And it's a
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: beautiful building that was donating by Claudia and Jack Workman,
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: and that was part of their bequest that this center
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: be put together by the foundation and for people to
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: come and walk the trails, enjoy the trails, bring your
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: family out, spend the day in the afternoon out on
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: the trails again, and then in the building. And you're
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: going to see wildlife from our snakes, from our turtle.
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: And you may be lucky enough to be there when
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: the turtle is walking around, okay and is out.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: You're going to see snakes. Are you going to see them?
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: Behind behind behind glass, behind glass. They are very comfortable,
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: you know, but they hide, but they're there. And we
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: do have plenty of fish, and there's gar things that
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: you may not be otherwise able to see. I think
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: the most striking thing about the as you enter into
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: the center, there is on the carpet a facsimile of
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: Coal River, so it does snake through the inside of
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: the building.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: No pun intended, No pun intended.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: We had to text somebody asking about the time in
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: the place. It's August twenty ninth. Starts at ten.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: Am ten am to four pm.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Yes, it sounds like it's going to be a whole
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: lot of fun. I think so fun and educational, but
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: more emphasis on the fund.
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: It's a way to get to know the center. It's
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: a way to get to get your kids outside and
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: away from their social media.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: Say that it is and.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: Mom and dad away from it too.
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: Well, yes, yes, yes, that's the point taken. But no,
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: I enjoy the hikes and the trails and getting out.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: This is And again we've talked about this on the
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: show in the past. I think a lot of people
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: how long has this been out there? How long has
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: this been a thing the Wildlife Center?
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: Gosh, three, two to three years. It's not been very long.
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: I was thinking the trails have been there for years.
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, obviously, but the center itself has only been
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: open maybe two years.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: Don't quote me on that, but it's something like that.
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: Yes, And it's just a beautiful facility to come out
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: and to spend time on a rain. I mean, the
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: center itself has a scavenger hunt you can find the animals,
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: and then they offer classes you just stay in touch
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: with on social media. With a Claudiel Workman Wildlife Center,
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: it's such a mouthful to say.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Well, what do you know about Claudia work and her
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, I know they give a lot to this
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: in her husband, they give a lot to this area,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: But what do you.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: Know, well they did.
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: I had the opportunity to work for Claudia back when
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: she had Workmen Developments, back when I was starting out
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: in my life of a marketing and public information and
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: I did a pay step for her for her book
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: for workmen Development.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: So I got to know her through that. She was
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: just a wonderful lady.
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: She was an English teacher who she expected things to
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: be correct and the way she wanted them, and she
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: was just a lovely lady. And then I had opportunities
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: to meet her on other occasions and I was working
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: for for Kroger's and I was there is the chef
• 8:01

  Speaker 7: Now.
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: I liked that Kroger's. It was fun to be there
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: because you got to meet everybody. But anyway, I got
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: to meet her again and reintroduce myself to her, and
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: we caught up on you know, what we've been doing
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: since then.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: And she's just a lovely lady.
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: I mean, you know, you could just stand and talk
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: to her for hours, and she loved her animals, and
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: she she loved her property and she just wanted to
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: share what she had the good fortune to make in
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: her lifetime, and she wanted to share it with the community.
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: So she left this legacy in her name for the public.

  Speaker 2: Were in West Virginia recently. Why were you here and
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: what did you do when you were here?
• 14:18
  Speaker 12: Well, we were there for two reasons. We came in
• 14:21
  Speaker 12: last Tuesday and we met in the capital to announce
• 14:24
  Speaker 12: fourteen new members of our hood work in Dignity Coalition
• 14:28
  Speaker 12: and we'll get back to that. And then we also
• 14:30
  Speaker 12: spent the bulk of last Wednesday, you know, down in
• 14:33
  Speaker 12: Nicole Fields in the southern region, in Beckley and the
• 14:36
  Speaker 12: Logan and really just highlighting the housing situation down there
• 14:41
  Speaker 12: with the transition towards more tourism, what that's doing for
• 14:45
  Speaker 12: the housing market down there, and then how we can
• 14:47
  Speaker 12: be helpful with the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: And it is interesting that you talk about that transition,
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: especially as you as you get into southern West Virginia,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: because as you said, it is a big tourism economy
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: down there right now, and one of the issues that
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: they've had is there's just simply well this is an
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: issue pretty much everywhere in West Virginia's they're just not
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: enough housing.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: That seems to be a problem. I'm sure you heard
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: that when you were here.
• 15:11
  Speaker 12: That's exactly what we heard when we were there. I mean,
• 15:13
  Speaker 12: especially when we were down there. Obviously you know the
• 15:15
  Speaker 12: coal you know, from Williamson the Logan, well, so all
• 15:18
  Speaker 12: the way threw up in the Beckley you know, coals
• 15:21
  Speaker 12: has been the giant. We toreed an old coal mine
• 15:24
  Speaker 12: in Beckley. But while we were there, they're saying, hey,
• 15:27
  Speaker 12: like let's got into tourism, and some people are more
• 15:29
  Speaker 12: interested in putting the houses that are there in the
• 15:32
  Speaker 12: airbnb's which is significantly shrinking the shortage since it's i
• 15:36
  Speaker 12: mean enlarging the shortage, especially since it is so rural
• 15:41
  Speaker 12: down there, so it's not like there's a ton of
• 15:43
  Speaker 12: you know, new housing being built. It's the current stock
• 15:45
  Speaker 12: which is becoming an issue.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Well, and the current stock is fine, but like you said,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: we need some new stock down there and here in
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: the Kenaw Valley too.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: I mean that's that's very important.
• 15:52
  Speaker 12: Right, Yeah, it is, and which is I think one
• 15:55
  Speaker 12: of the reasons you know, on the front side of that,
• 15:57
  Speaker 12: while we're there on the public housing and hunt A
• 15:59
  Speaker 12: City did housing side, there is a backlog and we
• 16:02
  Speaker 12: want to help free up the backlog through our work
• 16:05
  Speaker 12: in Dignity Coalition.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: I want you to, if you would expand upon the
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: work of this work and Dignity Coalition, tell us about
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: the mission statement and what this is all about.
• 16:14
  Speaker 12: Yeah, we'll do so. Back in February, Secretary Turner our
• 16:18
  Speaker 12: HUD Secretary Scott Turner proposed a new rule which would
• 16:20
  Speaker 12: allow flexibility for housing authorities to make their own rules
• 16:25
  Speaker 12: around time limits at work requirements. You may be aware
• 16:28
  Speaker 12: that you know, Secretary Turner got rid of ass H
• 16:31
  Speaker 12: was the firmatively furthering fair housing rule that came in
• 16:34
  Speaker 12: the Obama administration, which essentially acted like a national zoning board.
• 16:37
  Speaker 12: This was giving power back to localities and municipalities to
• 16:41
  Speaker 12: make their own decisions, you know, through HUD housing authorities
• 16:45
  Speaker 12: don't have to they're unable to make their own decisions
• 16:48
  Speaker 12: about you know, whether there's going to be time limits
• 16:50
  Speaker 12: or work requirements leading to you know, long waiting lists,
• 16:54
  Speaker 12: waiting lists that are closed, waiting lists that have you know,
• 16:57
  Speaker 12: in some areas one hundred thousand people on them. Really
• 17:00
  Speaker 12: free up that backlog, put some work requirements, promote self sufficiency,
• 17:04
  Speaker 12: and break the cycle of generational poverty. But by doing that,
• 17:09
  Speaker 12: the fourteen housing authorities that were there in the capital
• 17:12
  Speaker 12: with us last Tuesday signified that they support this rule change,
• 17:17
  Speaker 12: giving the power back to them and not being mandated
• 17:19
  Speaker 12: from bureaucrats in Washington.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: So now you said that you were at the Capitol
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: last week. Were their meetings involving some of the legislators
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: in West Virginia government officials were they part of that
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: as well?
• 17:31
  Speaker 12: We were joined by a Senator Roland Roberts team. He
• 17:34
  Speaker 12: spent the whole time with us, and then afterwards I
• 17:36
  Speaker 12: had an opportunity to catch up with Secretary of State
• 17:39
  Speaker 12: Chris Warner. We talked about opportunity zones. And then Chris
• 17:42
  Speaker 12: and I had worked together in the first Trump administration
• 17:44
  Speaker 12: when he was with USDA World Development and I was
• 17:47
  Speaker 12: with HUD. We did a lot of work together, specifically
• 17:50
  Speaker 12: around housing, but he and I caught up on opportunity
• 17:53
  Speaker 12: zones and how that can be helpful. There's fifty five
• 17:55
  Speaker 12: opportunity zones right now, and it's going to be huge
• 17:58
  Speaker 12: for West Virginia because US out of the big, big
• 18:01
  Speaker 12: beautiful Bill, specifically the Working Families tax cuts, it allows
• 18:06
  Speaker 12: for more flexibility with respect to rural development. And fortunately
• 18:11
  Speaker 12: or unfortunately, the entire state of West Virginia is classified
• 18:14
  Speaker 12: as rural, which will allow you know, thirty percent step
• 18:18
  Speaker 12: up in basis. This is you know, this is getting
• 18:20
  Speaker 12: into the weeds year. But my point is it's going
• 18:22
  Speaker 12: to draw where a lot of the funding was more
• 18:26
  Speaker 12: geared towards urban areas. This is going to drive more
• 18:28
  Speaker 12: to rural airbage, which can really be a boon for
• 18:30
  Speaker 12: West Virginia specifically in that tourism market part.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Again with think with Deputy Secretary Joe de Felice about
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: his recent trip here to West Virginia, and it's you know,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: music to my ears to hear that people are in
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Washington are getting the message about helping more rural areas
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: here because as you said, it seems like the urban
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: areas get all of the attention, not saying that they
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: shouldn't get a lot of the attention. There's a whole
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: lot more rural in America than what there is urban.
• 18:55
  Speaker 12: Yeah, and then that's very clear to get outside of
• 18:58
  Speaker 12: Charleston as well. But you know what, just as much
• 19:01
  Speaker 12: in the in the Northern Panhandle. Obviously the Eastern Panhandle
• 19:04
  Speaker 12: is starting to suburban afi if you will. But you know,
• 19:08
  Speaker 12: I've we've been all over the state and specifically with
• 19:11
  Speaker 12: the topography there too. I spent a lot of time
• 19:13
  Speaker 12: in West Virginia really around flooding. Whether it's been in
• 19:16
  Speaker 12: the South, I know there were just some you know,
• 19:17
  Speaker 12: devastating bloods in the east, southeast of the state and
• 19:20
  Speaker 12: u but also in the Northern Panhandle. It seems like,
• 19:23
  Speaker 12: you know, every year there's a thousand year flood that
• 19:25
  Speaker 12: it's West Virginia and that's where HUD also comes in
• 19:28
  Speaker 12: on the disaster recovery side. SEEMA and SBA are the
• 19:31
  Speaker 12: first ones on the ground, but HUD sticks around as
• 19:34
  Speaker 12: the long term recovery partner.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting on the flooding because I've heard that
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: term thousand year flood, as you said, used quite a
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: lot of the last couple of years, and I think
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: that defeats the very definition of a thousand year flood,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: to be honest with you.
• 19:46
  Speaker 12: Well, you know, it's funny. I didn't realize that's actually
• 19:48
  Speaker 12: that was actually a term, right, Like if people don't
• 19:51
  Speaker 12: just call it a thousand year flood, it's actually the
• 19:55
  Speaker 12: type of flood is a thousand year flood. It's like
• 19:57
  Speaker 12: mandated that way. So it's so you can have a
• 20:00
  Speaker 12: thousand year flood every year, but unfortunately West Virginia seems
• 20:03
  Speaker 12: to have them a lot more than everyone else.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: All Right, So I know you got to go because
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: you're on a tight schedule. But but what was your
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: overall give me thirty seconds, what was your overall takeaway
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: from your visit here to West Virginia last week?
• 20:15
  Speaker 12: You know, the energy and the spirit I saw from
• 20:17
  Speaker 12: those housing authorities about one that people from Washington care
• 20:20
  Speaker 12: about West Virginia, that they care about rural West Virginia. Again,
• 20:24
  Speaker 12: our job isn't to dictate from Washington to the people
• 20:26
  Speaker 12: in West Virginia how to do Their job is for
• 20:28
  Speaker 12: them to tell us how we can do our jobs better.
• 20:31
  Speaker 12: And by them leading the charge on working dignity and
• 20:33
  Speaker 12: make it in their own decisions, it's going to strengthen
• 20:35
  Speaker 12: our department. It's going to strengthen this country, all right.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Joe Dflise, I'm sorry, the h Deputy secretary. I hope
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: you enjoyed your time in West Virginia and appreciate you
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: taking time to be on the show today.
• 20:46
  Speaker 12: Thanks a lot, thank you for having me. I'll be
• 20:48
  Speaker 12: back soon, all right.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Joe de Felicie again, the HUT Deputy Deputy secretary. And
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: they were in town. He and his organization in town
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: last week. Glad to see that some of the rural
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: areas is getting little bit of attention. Nine twenty nine
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: a day Island Show and find Vedieline brought to you
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: in part by Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law firm.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: If you're injured, visit for the people dot com. I
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: want to knock out a couple of texts here because
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: we had had quite a few texts coming in this morning.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: So let me get to a couple of those text
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: One text on the Claudia L. Workman Wildlife Center that
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: somebody asked if there were horseshoe mounds for horseshoe stakes.
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: I did ask her on the way out the door,
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: and there are not, So Linda told me that there
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: are not. They are not. Don't say that there couldn't be,
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: but there aren't.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Now Texas Davis Wildlife solely state funded or do they
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: also take donations? If so, how could someone donates? Well,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: it's real simple. Just go to the Claudia L. Workman site.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: And again I don't have the site in front of me,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: and I'm not very good at multitasking, So just google
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Claudia L.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: Workman Wildlife Center and you will find it.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: And I believe that she said there is a tab
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: on there that you can make donations, but they do
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: one hundred percent except donations.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: Text says Dave.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: I think it's funny that Morrissey is going to investigate
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: the school voucher program for wrongdoing. Where was he when
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: he was the top law enforcement law enforcer. I'm sorry
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: of West Virginia for years. Why didn't he do something?
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: Then?
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: Check?
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: So I went to the Billy Strings show last night.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: I knew this was coming, by the way. It was
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun and full of aromatic massage of
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: weed smoke, but tuly. However, I'm disappointed with the city
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: or whoever runs the civic center. The concrete cast of
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Taka's footprint denoting his final bow is buried in lee's
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: and cigarette butts, and the hill above the footprint is
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: more covered in weeds than the neglected rural state road.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: Uncle deserves better. So that's the Texter I saw.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: I was not at the Billy Strings show last night,
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: but I'll tell you it's the biggest event, biggest concert
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: at the Connal Seeman Convention Center that there's been in
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: some time. Yesterday on the show, we had, first of all,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna call him musician. He is state Democratic Party
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: chair and he's a delegate, but he's a musician before
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: all those other things, or at least that's how he
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: started in life. Mike Pushkin on the show yesterday or
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: right around this time, and Pushkin tells me when he
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: came in yesterday that people were setting up for the
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Billy Strings show on the Benny Keatam parking lot out there.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: It's almost like Pushkin's big dad head. I mean that
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: as he follows the grateful Dad, not anything personal, and
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Billy Strings has sort of a following like that. He's bluegrass,
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: but there's kind of a totally like alternative vibe to him.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: He's very interesting. He felt very, very talented, and.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: So the show was sold out at the Coliseeman Convention
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Center last night. Billy Strings himself got into town I
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: think a couple of days ago Pushkin and I talked
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: about he played at the at the Empty Glass and.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: Set in with people.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: I think Kathy Matteo was there from Mountain Stage Mountain
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Stage Band. So very personal guy from what I understand
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: from people that got to meet and hang out with him.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: But the show last night itself, there were there were
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: some issues getting people in the building, and I don't
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: know exactly what those is shoes were, other than in fact,
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: it didn't seem like the line was moving very quickly.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: And as I said, I wasn't there. My man Shockley
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: from ninety eight to seven of the month and Wild,
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: a wonderful classic rock though was there and he gave
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: me a call last night and he said, in that
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Shockley way with all of his hair, dude, this was
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: gonna come up on your show tomorrow.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: So he was telling me about it. Jack Carlson was
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: in the newsroom.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: I think Shockley actually did an interview with Jack, and
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: then I talked to some had another buddy, My buddy
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: JD was there last night. Talked to him a little
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: bit about a via text last night too. Again, I
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: don't really know what the exact issue was other than
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: a lot of people didn't get in from what I understand, again,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: I wasn't there, but a lot of people did not
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: get into the venue until the show was well had
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: already started, and it just seemed to be a little bit,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know, it seemed to be some sort of
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: a breakdown somewhere. And I'm not gonna, you know, I'm
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: not gonna throw shade because I don't know. I wasn't there,
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: but there did seem to be some issues there. We
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: actually wrote a story about it. It's a WCHS network
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: dot com. But if you were there, you know what
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: we are talking about.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: On this subject.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Text says the lines weren't moving because security and Charleston
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: police were checking all the dirty bluegrass hippies for that
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: dang old reefer, says a Texter.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: I don't know if that was the case.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: I wasn't there, Like I said, I know that once
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: the show got in there were no issues or anything
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: like that. There were some people, from what I'm told,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: kind of upset trying to get into the venue, but
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: everybody behaved themselves, which is always very important.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: So well, see what happened there?
• 25:38
  Speaker 9: Text.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: I have noticed many Charleston parks and public places are
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: intocrepit shape sitting on property looks really, really bad, and
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: it's very noticeable, it says in a texture on the concert
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: text says, and there was one entrance for everyone but
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: VIPs and pitt passage, says a texture Texas, Dave, you
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: have a short memory and a penchant for falling for
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: right wing propaganda. The Republicans are the ones finally paying
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: attention to rural communities. How about this seven hundred and
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: eighty five million dollar investment in the Biden administration. I
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: didn't say anything about Biden or Trump. I just said
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: I'm glad to see there is attention being paid to
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: rural communities. That's exactly what I said. I didn't mention
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: a party, a political lean or anything. I just said,
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: I'm glad to see there is more attention being played
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: to rural communities. That's literally all I said speaking of
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: the Benny Ketam Shrine as I was as folks asked
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: me to announce this for them. They are going to
• 26:37

• 30:49
  Speaker 2: now on the Guarantee Bank hootline.
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: Good morning and welcome to the show.
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: Ashley, good morning, Thank you for having me on today.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Thank you for being here talking about this program and
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: give us the whole mission and the whole idea behind it.
• 31:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, So Sleepon Having the Piece is a five on
• 31:03
  Speaker 7: three C nonprofit. We're dedicated to building beds and delivering
• 31:06
  Speaker 7: beds for children who don't have one or Our mission
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: is simple, no kids sleeps on the floor in our town.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: How did you get involved in this?
• 31:15
  Speaker 15: So last last.
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: Fall, me and my husband decided to become foster parents,
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: so we got licensed and everything, and through that we
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: kind of like figured out there's a need for bets.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, uh so uh for being beds for the kids
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: because I mean, obviously, yeah, there's there's a major issue
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: here with there's a major issue with foster care in general.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: We can talk about that at another time and may
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: maybe have you talk about all the good things that
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: you've seen there. But how how I mean you go
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: from this idea to get the beds? How do you
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: put the idea into play?
• 31:43
  Speaker 7: So after that, my husband started doing some research and
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: he came across the Jackson County Chapter. Jackson County has
• 31:50
  Speaker 7: a chapter. They just started last August and they opened
• 31:54
  Speaker 7: then and since then they have delivered over turnip beds
• 31:56
  Speaker 7: in the Jackson County area.
• 31:58
  Speaker 12: Wow.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: And that's in the Jackson County area alone.
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: Right, yes, yes?
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: And where do you get the beds?
• 32:05
  Speaker 7: So we build the beds ourselves through the so for
• 32:08
  Speaker 7: we're a nonprofit. When people donate, you know, they're donating
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: for us to buy the woods, the screws, the nails,
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: everything that goes into it to make these beds for
• 32:17
  Speaker 7: the kids.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: So as somebody who doesn't know the first thing about
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: building anything, including a bed, what kind of a process
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: is that?
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: It's a big process. But like whenever we have our buildings,
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: you don't have to have any type of experience, Like
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: we have a qure team members who we have trained
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: and they know how to work the stations and they
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: can tell you how to do the job. So you
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: don't have to have any type of experience to be
• 32:38
  Speaker 7: able to help build beds for these kids.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Well, it sounds like a very worthwhile program, and we'll
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: get that back to the program at the moment. But
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: I don't want to get too personal here with you,
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: but you said you and your husband made the decision
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: to become foster parents.
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: What went into that decision? If you don't mind my asking.
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so that's fine. So we knew have a dog
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: of her own, but we couldn't have any markets. So
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: we decided that we wanted to boster because it's something
• 32:59
  Speaker 7: that we had always talked about in our heart, was
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: become a foster parents.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: And we all, you know, we talk about it on
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: the air and we read about it about the issue
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: with foster care in West Virginia, there's simply not enough
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: people getting involved.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: There's all kinds of other issues. Again, I'm not going
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: to make you get into all that.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: But what talk about the rewarding parts for you and
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: your husband being foster parents?
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: I mean, is a rewarding thing. Trying to help these
• 33:23
  Speaker 7: kids have a better life and like learning, like, it's
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: just heartbreaking here all these different kids and the trauma
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: and different things that they have been through in experience.
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: It just would break your heart to you to know
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: what kids go through.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, kids that are in this system, Ashley, they
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: go through things that most of us can't even imagine.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: I mean really, I mean, and look, there.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Was I had an opportunity at an event a couple
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: of years ago to listen to someone speaking about doing
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: something similar like what you're doing with They were just
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: providing things like suitcases for kids in the foster care
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: system because many of them get moved around so much
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: and they don't even have a dignified place to carry
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: their stuff from one place to the other. And they
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: were this particular organization was trying to get people to
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: donate older suitcases, backpacks or whatever. That they didn't need
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: or want anymore. So at least when these kids are
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: going from place to place at night, they're not carrying
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: their stuff in a garbage bag.
• 34:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so a lot that is true. A lot of
• 34:21
  Speaker 7: them do just come with nothing just to close on
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: their back.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: And so let's talk about how the public can get involved.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: I said, you know, not as you said, not everybody
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: can build a bed, but talk about how the public,
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: if people want to get involved in this.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: How can they do that?
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: Yes? Sorry, some said one another thing? First, to help
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: all kids, so we help. We're going to help all kids,
• 34:41
  Speaker 7: you know, I just was talking about this is how
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: we got sorry, was because of ups care, and that's
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: one way.
• 34:45
  Speaker 12: We're going to help.
• 34:46
  Speaker 7: But whenever you give the kids the beds or for
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: ages three to seventeen, it's just whenever. Once you're open
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: for applications. So we have to have forty beds in
• 34:56
  Speaker 7: inventory before we get open for any applications. So hoping
• 34:59
  Speaker 7: after our big build the Bunks across America, which would
• 35:02
  Speaker 7: be our first public event, that will have the forty
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: best sponsor. Right now we have fourteen, so we need
• 35:07
  Speaker 7: twenty six more bed sponsors. It's two fifty a bed
• 35:11
  Speaker 7: that includes the wood, the hardware for the bed, the
• 35:16
  Speaker 7: betting itself, a pillow, and the mattress and all of
• 35:20
  Speaker 7: that's included. So whenever we deliver these beds, the kids
• 35:22
  Speaker 7: are set up and ready for the night. Wherever they
• 35:25
  Speaker 7: go to sleep, they have everything will need.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: And when you talk about the donations, I mean you're
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: looking for businesses, for individuals, anybody that can.
• 35:33
  Speaker 7: Get there running, anybody that wants to help. Yeah, anybody
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: that wants to help. I mean, you know, if if
• 35:38
  Speaker 7: you can't donate, you know, money, if you if a
• 35:40
  Speaker 7: business would like to do like a betting drive and
• 35:43
  Speaker 7: get new twin betting and pillows, they can do that.
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: Just anyway, even just spread the word just helps trying
• 35:50
  Speaker 7: to get the world there as much as possible to
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: what we can get to people who can help financially
• 35:54
  Speaker 7: if they can.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: And you talked about the chapter in Jackson County. What
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: other areas in the state.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: Do you work in?
• 36:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so we're also in Dodgridge, the Eastern Panhandle, Harrison, Monroe, Mongolia,
• 36:07
  Speaker 7: and Potomacallands.
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: Okay, so any more like up.
• 36:11
  Speaker 7: Up like where the closest chapters around here US in Jackson.
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: County are us meaning Kanon County?
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, okay, Okay, I want to make sure that we
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: get that in there that you are in Kanan County.
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: All that's fine?
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, uh, and it really knows no borders. I mean
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: as far as helping kids, right, I mean you may
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: be just those so you.
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: Can only we only service Knaal County. Okay, serve Jackson County.
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I meant you do.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: But I mean the organization as a whole will will
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: will help out any of these areas. And again you're
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: primarily focused on Kanagh County.
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: Tell people again how they can get involved. If they
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: want to be one of those businesses that does a
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: drive where you know they're going to spend donate so
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: much of their proceeds for a particular evening or an
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: afternoon to the cause, or they want to host an event,
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: how can people get involved?
• 36:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah, So, like I said, you can sponsor bad We
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: have a Bunkheads club where you can joined twenty five
• 37:00
  Speaker 7: for twenty five dollars a month each month and after
• 37:04
  Speaker 7: a year that adds up to each hundred and fifty dollars,
• 37:06
  Speaker 7: so you're basically playing for a bed ear.
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: All right, and you can come to go ahead right, No, no,
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: you go ahead.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: I'm just gonna have you give you an opportunity to
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: give out the social media website whatever you got.
• 37:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so we if you have Facebook, you can you
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: look for Saxpeak and all County. Then we also if
• 37:22

  Speaker 7: and we used to use Facebook. We post daily.
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: Okay, all right, well it sounds like a great program.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: And again, uh, when when I was first approach about
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: having you guys on the air, I was like, what
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: what is this? And so I had to like look
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: into it. And you and your husband and others are
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: to be commended for doing what you do for the
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: foster care kids. And I love the motto no kid
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: sleeps on the floor. I love that. That is a
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: great motto Ashley.
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: It really is.
• 37:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, it really is a great mono because a
• 37:54

  Speaker 4: Up on on on.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: Investing in rural communities the forty four somebody want to
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: remind me the forty four billion dollars the Biden administration
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: invested in rural communities through the Infrastrate Ructure Act and
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: the Inflation Reduction Act. Again, I didn't say aside either way.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: I just said I'm glad that more money is being
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: invested in rural communities.
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: I do appreciate that.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: Texays do more people live rurally than urbanly or was
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: that just for West Virginia. Hard to believe there's more
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: rural people, especially if you consider suburban people part of
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: the urban groupment. I don't know when I made that state,
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: but I was more or less thinking about West Virginia
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: on the nationwide I don't I would have to do
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: the research on it, but I would think that you're
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: probably right, especially if you consider the suburbs around America
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: in larger cities, think Charlotte, you know, Chicago, New York,
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: LA That if you count those suburbs, and yeah, I
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: think so. But I think here in West Virginia. I
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: have always said, with all due respect to the capital city,
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: which is where I do this show, or Morgantown or
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: Huntington or Martinsburg or Wheeling, what we think of big
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: cities in West Virginia, there's a whole lot more Dodbridge
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: counties there's a whole lot more mineral counties, a whole
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: lot more McDowell counties than there are those.
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm just antidotal evidence.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: Hey, we're getting ready for the Painted Capital City Green event.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: It is going to be Thursday, August the twenty seventh
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: at the bill No Flight School, West Virginia International, Yega Airport.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: It will start at six o'clock. Head football coach Tony
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: Gibson's going to be there. Corny Jackson, the basketball coach,
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: Julie Falkes, the athletic director, Gerald Harrison, other coaches, and
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: my guy, the voice of the Thundering Herd, Steve Cotton,
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: is going to be there as well. And the reason
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: that Cotton is there, in addition to just being a
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: genuinely good guy and much like me, because he'd never
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: met a buffet he didn't like. Cotton is going to
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: be there to do sort of a roundtable discussion with
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: some of the athletes and some of the coaches. Steve
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: Animal ninety eight seven a month and Wild a wonderful
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: classic rock and I will serve as the overall MC's
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: but Cotton comes in and handles a lot of the
• 40:48

  Speaker 2: last second and I said, hey, these guys are coming up,
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: and that's it.
• 49:09
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I got here a little early today. I felt
• 49:11
  Speaker 14: I've been neglecting you, and for that I apologize it.
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: Well, I appreciate that. Well, you know you're important to me.
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: Well, and you know, ever since I went through the
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: cancer thing, man, and they're giving me you know, they
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: gave me the shots that you know, lower testosterone. I'm
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: just feeling a little neglected and plus I have hot flash.
• 49:26
  Speaker 14: Can they give you the shots that boost testosterone.
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: It goes both ways. Yeah, not yet. Can't yeh, can't
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: do that. You gotta wait, that's what they tell them.
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: Can't make it happen with that quickly. Not yet, No,
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: they gotta wait. It's a waiting process.
• 49:36
  Speaker 14: Are you feeling good though? If you are, you're starting
• 49:38
  Speaker 14: to feel better.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: I never felt bad. Yeah, this is the thing that
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: never felt bad. I didn't even know I had it
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: until I went to the doctor and they told me.
• 49:45
  Speaker 6: So.
• 49:45
  Speaker 14: It's your screening, right, that's the message.
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: That's the message, your screening, all right? So, uh man,
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: what was I going to ask you while you're here?
• 49:52
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, elliot Pritt.
• 49:55
  Speaker 14: I'm candidly surprised he didn't withdraw from the election the
• 49:59
  Speaker 14: same day that he resigned from the House.
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: Any idea why or maybe just you know, difficult to tell.
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: A lot going on.
• 50:08
  Speaker 14: He's being represented by a federal public defender, is my understanding,
• 50:12
  Speaker 14: who may not have had that top of mind. He
• 50:16
  Speaker 14: is obviously in a jail in Kentucky, doesn't get all
• 50:20
  Speaker 14: of the news. Had to have a notarized letter to
• 50:23
  Speaker 14: be able to withdraw. Maybe that had something to do
• 50:25
  Speaker 14: with it.
• 50:25
  Speaker 12: I don't know.
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 50:27
  Speaker 14: But he's off the ballot. We move forward, we'll see
• 50:30
  Speaker 14: what happens. There are a couple of independence renting in
• 50:34
  Speaker 14: that way, so I'm told we'll see if Republicans fur
• 50:38
  Speaker 14: their support behind one of those independents. I think that
• 50:40
  Speaker 14: would probably be the next logical play if you're a Republican,
• 50:43
  Speaker 14: or you could do what I've said all along, leave
• 50:44
  Speaker 14: it alone. One seat isn't worth the potential downfall in my.
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: Texas.
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: Doesn't Charleston have more people than mcdowll County? Yes, you
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: probably didn't get to hear this I was talking earlier.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: My assertion has always been there's a lot more rural
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: areas in the state than there are big cities. Charleston, Huntington,
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: Morgan Town. Yes, McDowell. I actually did the math. I
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: forgot to get into it. Charleston in the city of
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: Charleston has significantly more people than McDowell County. My point
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: wasn't about specific cities as much as it was there's
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: a lot of rural areas in.
• 51:12
  Speaker 14: Western oh Absolutely, a lot of different topographies, a lot
• 51:14
  Speaker 14: of different situations.
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: Lot the deal, all right, manage Meadows and Wilson coming
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: up a talk line ten O six.
