  Speaker 2: good friend, doctor Casey Sacks Abridge Valley.
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: How you doing?
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: Good morning, Dave.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: I'm great.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: How are you doing? I am doing fine? Great to
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: have you here. I mean, it's like the third time
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: in a row you've been in person. Hey, once in
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: a while, that just happens. It just happens that way.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: What's the I was thinking about this earlier when it
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: comes to you and other institutions of higher learning. I
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: can remember, you know, one hundred years ago when I
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: was in college that at Marshall, hundred years I am,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I am one hundred and three. At Marshall, they didn't
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: have as many quote unquote snow days because the majority
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: of the students either lived on campus or they live
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: like I did, within walking distance of campus. So it
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: is very rare that there would ever be a delay
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: or anything like USh. We're also talking literally thirty three
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: thir nome sorry, how little bit thirty five years ago
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: that I was there, so it wasn't that common now.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: The third mouth was not. I was a PR major,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: so math not my major. All right, So how do
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: you guys handle things at Bridge Valley or other? I mean,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: how do you what goes into it now? Because so
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: much is online and so much is available now, So
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: how do you handle snow days?
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: We also rarely have snow days. A lot of times
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: snow days for counties are because little kids are standing
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: outside at bus stops, so you want to make sure
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: they're not too cold and that they're safe. But at
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: the college, we actually go off whatever the capital complex
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: schedule is or a state agency. We have state employees,
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: so we go ahead and say we stay open as
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: long as the Capital Complex is open. If we do
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: close the physical location, we still go online. So it
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: doesn't mean there's no class. It means work directly with
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: your faculty member and say, hey, Dave, what is it
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: that I'm supposed to be working on today, and you
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: do whatever it is your I.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Had a feeling you want to say that about the
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: online thing, because I mean, even in public schools, you know,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: online learning has ruined snow days for the most now
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: sometimes well today's day off for most county school systems. Anyway,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I think pretty much everybody in West Virginia takes the
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: day off, not necessarily in other states they don't for
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Veterans Day. But I think that unless it's like, you know,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: when you had a couple of big snows like we
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: had last year, I think, you know, the superintendents and
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: whatnot just said, all right, go play in the snow,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: go write a paper about it later or something. You know,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: go go play in the snow. Just it just is
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: not what it used to. Speaking to Veterans Day, did
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: want to give you an opportunity to say something about veterans.
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: So we are open today. We take Veterans Day off
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: December twenty ninth. But today we have a ceremony for
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: our veterans, a celebration for our veterans on the South
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: Charleston campus. It's a luncheon. We've invited all of our
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: student veterans. We have a local group of gold Star
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: Moms who come in and do awards. We have done
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: quilts before, We've done quilts for veterans as awards.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: We have.
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: Actually, the West Virginia Veteran of the Year is on
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: our staff and so she'll be honored today Jammy McClanahan. Okay,
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: So we're really proud of her and we'll be well,
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: we'll have an entire ceremony today.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: What time is that ceremony starts at noon? Okay, what
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: time do you think? And here's the reason I'm asking.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I've got I've got selfish reasons here. We were talking
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Stephanie Pauli, who produces Metro News midday, is also producing
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: the local show today, and we were talking about that
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: earlier about you know, we've got some things already lined
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: up for veterans, but uh, if we could make if
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: we could make that work, she would make a great
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: veteran do you think he could make that happen?
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: Come on over, we'd love it.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Well, no, we we have to call her.
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: Oh so I tell you what.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Once we break, why don't you and Stephanie have a
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: little conversation there and let's even get this thing worked out.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: We'd love to have her on the show. Oh, she
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: would love that. All right, we'll presentage of the population
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: or well, let me just say, is it a large
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: percentage of population students that you have that are veterans
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: at Bridge Valley?
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: So it varies every year, but it's actually something we're
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: really proud of. We have been honored for years and
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: years now going in a row. There's a distinction for
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: colleges where you become a veteran friendly college, and so
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: every year we make sure that we do all of
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: the things to get that distinction. It means we have
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: special lounges for our veterans students, it means we have
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: special services for our veterans students. It means we really
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: are an institution that's committed to serving our veterans in
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: some pretty intentional ways. And our director of Veteran Services
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: is Missy Lair, and anybody who knows Missy just really
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: knows what a passion she has for the population. She
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: could not be better at her job.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Does Bridge Valley have an ROTC program? We do not
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: have an ROTC. Is that something that you could do
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: in the future or is.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: It or not?
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: Certainly something I would be open to. It's just not
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: something I've looked into.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Well you need more on your plate
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: to do out there. Yeah, you got so many other
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: things to doctor k Cy Sachs of a Bridge Valley.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: We want to talk about the efforts doctor, that the
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Bridge Valley are taking to help students that have West
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Virginia ties.
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: Oh, we're so excited about this, Dave. So our board
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: realized that there could be any number of family circumstances.
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: Your grandparents might be here and maybe a family moved
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: over to Kentucky or decided to go to Ohio, but
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: the grandkids still really love West Virginia might want to
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: come back. Or you might have a family that's split
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: and mom and dad live in two separate states. But
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: what we've gone ahead and done is said that for
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: anybody who has a parent or grandparent who's lived in
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: West Virginia for at least a year, we'll give them
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: in state tuition at Bridge Valley. We want people to
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: move back to West Virginia. We want them to come
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: to Bridge Valley because we know students who graduate with
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: us work in this area. So we felt like it
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: was a really great incentive to get people to think
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: about coming back to West Virginia, and it was something
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: we could do to make it a little bit more affordable.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: And anything we could do to get people either to
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: come back to West Virginia, even if those people like
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: you said that had ties to West Virginia, like our
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: grandparents were here, not not necessarily, well.
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: They just visited in the summer and they were Wow,
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: we like it here.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: All right, good stuff. Bring them back please and get
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: them to stay for a while. Doctor Casey Saxebridge Values

  Speaker 2: Here a Dave Allan Show and five any Live broad

• 8:26
  Speaker 2: The college got some federal highway grants. What's what's in
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: all about we did, and.
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: It was so a year ago we found out that
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: we were shortlisted for a federal Department of Transportation grant
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: and it's taken some time to work through the process,
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: but we just recently officially got announced that we're one
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: of sixteen colleges across the country that'll get highway grant
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: dollars that'll help support our highway construction programs. So we
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: do a lot for anybody at the Department of Transportation
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: who's doing bridge construction, highway construction, they come in andto
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: associates degrees with us, and so this allowed us to
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: open that up to more people and to really think
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: about construction in some new ways.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I want to ask you, you know, it appears now
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: and we'll talk about this a little later on that
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: the government shut down appears to be coming to an end,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: appears to But you guys, you talked about this a
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: little last time. You're on a casey, you guys are
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: really ramping up your average and they have been helped
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: students that receive SNAP benefits.
• 9:22
  Speaker 8: That's right.
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: We have seventy four students at Bridge Valley who are
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: currently SNAP recipients, and we really want to make sure
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: they get fed. So we've been partnering with local food banks.
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: We have our own food pantry on campus called the Nest,
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: and we're really trying to do any kind of community
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: outreach we can to make sure those people have enough food.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: It's so important.
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: This is a group of folks who are going to school,
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: they're trying to do better for their families. And it's
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: not just the seventy four students. They represent a whole family.
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: So you could multiply it by two, or by five,
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: or by eight. I know we have one family that
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: is a young man. He is the person who's providing
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: for his family and currently going to school, and there's
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: eight of them, and so really thinking about that, these
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: are people who live in our community and who need
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: our help.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: And look, I will say this, and we all know
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: that there's fraud and abuse in every system. However, when
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: you hear stories like that and you think these are
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: in the majority, or you know a great number of
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: people that do receive night benefits are working a great
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: number of the issues.
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: These are going to school, and some of them also
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: have jobs, and these.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: These are going that's what it's going to say. These
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: are going to school and in many time in many places,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: so they're trying to better themselves. And I think that
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: that pantry that you have there is awesome. I mean,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: how long has that been around?
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: Well, I started in twenty one and it was there
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: when I got there, so I can't take credit for that.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Well, it's still a great program. You have a new
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: name on campus, the new vice president for Academics.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: We do.
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: She's wonderful, So doctor Christina Johnson. She's local, she's up
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: from Gollybridge area and she's been with the college for
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: years and years. She was with Tech, been with Bridgemont,
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: then with Bridge Valley and has been a dean and
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: taught science. Lots of people listening today may have had
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: her as a science teacher at some point. But she
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: is going to be our new vice president for academics.
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: We're super excited. Doctor Susette Breeden is retiring in January,
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: so we are sad that she's retiring, but excited that
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: doctor Johnson will be joining us.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: What exactly are the duties of the vice president for Academics.
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: A lot of it is campus supervision. They supervise every
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: single academic program, so it's all of the deans, all
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: of the faculty, any of the things that happen in
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: a classroom. That's her purview.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Doctor Casey, Saxonbridge Valley, it's always a pleasure to have
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: you on the show. Thank you so great to be here.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Thanks a lot. We'll talk again probably later this month,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: and I want to hook you up with Stephanie so
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: we can talk about this veterans thing for later today.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: We're always planning the state. Wheels are always turning, and
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: I'm so glad they sometimes, you know, turn slowly, but
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: they're freaky.
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: They're turning.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: That's all we can know for Doctor k Cy, Saxonbridge Valley.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Thanks Alive a day violance show and five Adyline brought

  Speaker 2: dot net. Because what you don't know can hurt you.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute, hold on, don't leave, all right, got
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: a question here for you. You've read somebody just text
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: in the question you ever considered a shuttle bus or
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: possibly a car pool of some sorts. For those who
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: want to come to school. We don't have access to
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: a vehicle and live in a very rural area. We've
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: tried you can sit down behind the microphone. Yeah, I mean,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: if you don't mean is it something that this is
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: something that you would look at.
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: So we've tried car pools before. There were a variety
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: of safety concerns and so students could can still do
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: that and we would.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Encourage it, but it was not something that the college
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: can necessarily. That's right.
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: We've talked about shuttle buses. It's been a thing that
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: we instead really try and partner with KRT on and
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: I know that KRT has been trying to figure out
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: how to do more of those on demand routes for
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: rural areas because they're better equipped to run a shuttle
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: bus than we are GOTA. So it's it's constantly a
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: work in Progress's wonderful. I know he's been on before
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: I don't hell you and has been really committed to
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: trying to figure out how to get more rural access.
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: But it's such a great question.
• 13:07

  Speaker 2: holds out. That is a plan coming up on tomorrow show.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Let me welcome to down, doctor Craig Lover Family Care
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Health Centers. Good morning and welcome to the show.
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: Stir.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: How are you.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: I'm doing well, Thank you for having me, Thank you.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: For being here. All right, First, explain the concept of
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: the family care health centers for lives and may not
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: be familiar with them.
• 16:23
  Speaker 11: Sure, So, family care health center. We're providers of healthcare.
• 16:27
  Speaker 11: We do everything from pre natal and we have a
• 16:30
  Speaker 11: birth center. We do traditional healthcare, primary care type things.
• 16:37
  Speaker 11: We have an urgent care setting, and we now have
• 16:39
  Speaker 11: a pharmacy. That's what you're here to talk about. Is
• 16:41
  Speaker 11: this pharmacy, So talk about that.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:44
  Speaker 11: So we built a pharmacy in the Saint Albans Loop.
• 16:46
  Speaker 11: It's next door to our Saint Albans location, which offers
• 16:50
  Speaker 11: primary care and behavior health and other services as well
• 16:53
  Speaker 11: as urgent care. So we created this pharmacy so that patients,
• 16:58
  Speaker 11: family care patients as well as folks in the community
• 17:00
  Speaker 11: would have access to prescription drugs.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: And that's what that was gonna be. My next question
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: was what went into coming up with this. Obviously you
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: saw a need for this.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: We did see a need for it.
• 17:11
  Speaker 11: So one, we wanted to make sure that people had
• 17:13
  Speaker 11: access to the medications that they need. We participate in
• 17:17
  Speaker 11: some federal programs that allow us to buy some drugs
• 17:21
  Speaker 11: at a discount and were able to pass that discount
• 17:23
  Speaker 11: along to our patients, So that was important for us.
• 17:26
  Speaker 11: There's a lot of things that go on behind the
• 17:28
  Speaker 11: scenes with drug manufacturers and how they distribute some of
• 17:32
  Speaker 11: the medications to organizations like ours, So we also wanted
• 17:36
  Speaker 11: to make sure we had more control over that process,
• 17:38
  Speaker 11: and the best way for us to do that was
• 17:40
  Speaker 11: to create a pharmacy in house.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Indeed, we talked to do with doctor Craig Lover and
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: what kind of an undertaking was that for you, folks?
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, how difficult is that to come up with
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: something like this.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: There's a lot that goes into it.
• 17:52
  Speaker 11: There's a lot of regulations around pharmacy and those types
• 17:55
  Speaker 11: of things, but we were able to get through all
• 17:57
  Speaker 11: of those. We had to build a build, so we
• 18:01
  Speaker 11: were fortunate that we were able to do that.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: This is a new building.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: It's a brand new facility, okay, and.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: It's located at twelve canaal Terrace in Saint Albans right
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: right exactly, and the loop in the loop. Everybody in
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Saint Albans knows about the loop and you're gonna have
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: a ribbon cutting, I understand, coming up Thursday, is that right?
• 18:18
  Speaker 11: Yes, Thursday at ten am, we'll have a ribbon cutting,
• 18:20
  Speaker 11: our official grand opening of that site. Even though the
• 18:23
  Speaker 11: site has been opened for I think we're now in
• 18:25
  Speaker 11: week three today, so we had a soft opening, but
• 18:30
  Speaker 11: official unveiling presenting it to the public is on this
• 18:34
  Speaker 11: coming Thursday at ten am.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: So we want to invite everybody to come out and
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: check it out. You know, I'm sure you have tours
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: of the civility, some refreshments and things like that.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: Yep, we'll have all that all right.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Then you get to a chance to, as I said,
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: to ask questions. And you know, there's the world of pharmacies,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: as you well know, has changed so much, you know,
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: the last couple of years. You know, I mean twenty
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: years ago, you got a prescription, you went to whomever,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: and you know, your local pharmacy was a big deal.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: You know, you went in and yeah, it's not that
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: way anymore. It's just a lot more complicated now.
• 19:04
  Speaker 11: Formacy is a very very very complicated process. There's so
• 19:08
  Speaker 11: many things that go on in the back end that
• 19:10
  Speaker 11: results in a patient walking out of a pharmacy with
• 19:13
  Speaker 11: with the bottle of pills. And so we've learned this
• 19:16
  Speaker 11: over the past several years of where we fit into
• 19:20
  Speaker 11: that continuum, if you will. And again, part of us
• 19:23
  Speaker 11: creating the formacy is we're trying to simplify that for
• 19:25
  Speaker 11: our patients. We don't want them to have to deal
• 19:27
  Speaker 11: with all of the back end things that go into
• 19:30
  Speaker 11: prescription medication management and we just want them to be
• 19:33
  Speaker 11: able to get the medication that they need at a
• 19:36
  Speaker 11: price point that they can afford.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Indeed, indeed, and that's and you guys, I mean, and
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: I've had you and others on from your organization several
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: several times on the local show here, and you guys
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: just do so much for the community. And one of
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: the things I really like about you is whenever there's
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: an event going on, you guys are there. I mean,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: when we do our activities here, you know, we do
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: trick or beat and I'm just using that as an example,
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: or we do the backpack attack or whatever. You guys
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: have always got a booth and you're always willing to
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: give back to the community, and that's something that goes
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: with being local people.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Talk about that. Yeah.
• 20:09
  Speaker 11: Absolutely, So we are a community health center, and I
• 20:12
  Speaker 11: think of that word community as really a sort of
• 20:14
  Speaker 11: a verb. I understand English. I know it's now, but
• 20:17
  Speaker 11: we look at it as being a verb. We have
• 20:20
  Speaker 11: to be out in our community. We want to be involved.
• 20:22
  Speaker 11: We're partners, and we'd also don't want to be seen
• 20:26
  Speaker 11: as just we're just taking from the community. We want
• 20:28
  Speaker 11: to be able to give back. So, yes, we support
• 20:30
  Speaker 11: things that happen in our community. We are a local organization.
• 20:34
  Speaker 11: We're not part of some big national organization. We are
• 20:37
  Speaker 11: from West Virginia, where West Virginians, we employee West Virginians,
• 20:41
  Speaker 11: and we want to support our community.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Talk about your average patient that comes in for you know,
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: not necessarily for the pharmacy, but your healthcare. I mean,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: just you see it, that runs a gamut just to
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: all walks of life.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: It really does run the gamut of all walks of life.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: I would say.
• 20:56
  Speaker 11: Our specialty though, and one of our big focuses creating
• 21:00
  Speaker 11: access to health care for underserved folks. So we do
• 21:03
  Speaker 11: see people who are homeless, we see folks who are
• 21:06
  Speaker 11: living in poverty. We accept Medicaid. We also work with
• 21:11
  Speaker 11: folks who are totally uninsured. When we meet a new patient,
• 21:14
  Speaker 11: we try to see can we find coverage for you?
• 21:16
  Speaker 11: Can we get you on Medicare or Medicaid? Can you
• 21:20
  Speaker 11: buy a plan on the open exchange? If none of
• 21:22
  Speaker 11: those works, we don't turn your way. We still see you.
• 21:24
  Speaker 11: We offer our services on a sliding fee scale, which
• 21:27
  Speaker 11: means we charge people based on what they can afford
• 21:30
  Speaker 11: to pay.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: And how often do you see patients like that doctor?
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: We see them daily. We see them daily.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: And so somebody, like I said, shows up and they've
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: been a little bit you know, sometimes no follow their
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: own it's an economic situations you said. They could be homeless,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: they could be or just woefully underpaid or whatever. Under insured,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: under insured, underinsured. Take us through that process. I mean
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: I come in and I fall into one of those categories.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Just take me through the process.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, so you come in.
• 22:00
  Speaker 11: The first thing is we will connect you with someone
• 22:03
  Speaker 11: in our eligibility department. They're specialists in getting people enrolled
• 22:07
  Speaker 11: in Medicaid, Medicare, purchasing plans on the exchange. So we
• 22:11
  Speaker 11: try to go through those options to see can we
• 22:13
  Speaker 11: find you some level of coverage and if we can, great,
• 22:16
  Speaker 11: we'll get your role.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: We'll get you an appointment, but.
• 22:19
  Speaker 11: If we can't, then we assess your income, family size,
• 22:22
  Speaker 11: and then we tell you what your charge will be
• 22:26
  Speaker 11: for the service. For some of our folks, we charge
• 22:28
  Speaker 11: them a nominal fee, which is twenty twenty five bucks
• 22:31
  Speaker 11: for a visit, and for them they come in, they
• 22:34
  Speaker 11: pay twenty five dollars. Maybe they had a visit that
• 22:36
  Speaker 11: had a value of five hundred dollars. You pay twenty dollars,
• 22:40
  Speaker 11: we stamp your bill paid in full, and you keep going.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: It is an amazing business model. But it's not just
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: a business model, Doctor Deliver. It's much more than that.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: It's helping people.
• 22:51

  Speaker 11: and creating healthy communities.

• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Care Health the centers Again, we'll get back to the
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: pharmacy for a moment. Ten am on Thursday morning. That
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: is the ribbon cutting, the grant. Well, you said you've
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: been open for a couple of weeks. What's the response
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: been in your sort of soft opening, I guess, or
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: has it even been a soft opening.
• 23:38
  Speaker 11: It's been a soft opening. We started on the first day.
• 23:41
  Speaker 11: We saw a few people. Every day we get a
• 23:43
  Speaker 11: few more people that come in. The other thing I
• 23:45
  Speaker 11: want to stress is our formacy is not just for
• 23:48
  Speaker 11: our existing patients. It's a community pharmacy. So if you
• 23:51
  Speaker 11: live close to our pharmacy location, but maybe your provider
• 23:55
  Speaker 11: is outside of the Family Care network, you're still welcome
• 23:58
  Speaker 11: to bring your prescriptions to us.
• 24:00

  Speaker 2: awards sting Tomorrow Night, the Urban Night Urbanight Awards.
• 29:02
  Speaker 13: Yeah, And like we've been talking about on morning, is
• 29:05
  Speaker 13: this is the first time we've had uh we've had
• 29:08
  Speaker 13: sponsors every year, but certainly we've expanded those sponsorships through
• 29:11
  Speaker 13: media partnerships for this. And so you know a lot
• 29:14
  Speaker 13: of folks, if they're outside of the circle, if you will,
• 29:17
  Speaker 13: they may not have heard of our Urban Night Awards.
• 29:19
  Speaker 13: But this is actually our ninth year that we've that
• 29:22
  Speaker 13: we've done. These awards are always in November. It's always
• 29:24
  Speaker 13: sort of a wrap up of the year, a celebration
• 29:26
  Speaker 13: of the year.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 29:27
  Speaker 13: And it's solely focused on the business owners, the employees,
• 29:31
  Speaker 13: the property owners, civic leaders, artists and volunteers that that
• 29:39
  Speaker 13: we want to shine a spotlight on on them, the
• 29:41
  Speaker 13: folks that have really helped move our mission along as
• 29:44
  Speaker 13: an organization and breed new life into these urban districts
• 29:48
  Speaker 13: here in Charleston. So you know, we we give awards
• 29:51
  Speaker 13: in eight categories. I can tell you that our fellow
• 29:54
  Speaker 13: Leadership West Virginia classmate Mayor Amy Schuler Goodwin will be
• 29:58
  Speaker 13: presenting our big award of the night, the Urban Night
• 30:00
  Speaker 13: of the Year Award, to our surprise honoree.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: And I like that.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: So it's just a surprise he or she or the
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: group whatever does doesn't know. Most most of our recipients
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: don't know. We have a few that do, but most
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: of them don't. We've been difficult with that. It's it's
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: it's a lot of work. Well, but the reason I
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: say that is because we think, you know, from somebody
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: who comes from a small town like I do. I
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: consider Charleston to be a big town, but it's really not,
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: you know, and everybody kind of knows everybody and so
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: on and so forth, and so if you have the
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: ability to be able to keep that quiet, that's that's
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: pretty good. Yeah. Well for me, it's a lot of fun.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: We you know, we work, so we work.
• 30:35
  Speaker 13: We stay so busy throughout the year, you know, fulfilling
• 30:38
  Speaker 13: our mission, whether that's thro our events that we do,
• 30:40
  Speaker 13: through our public space enhancement projects, through our programming, our
• 30:44
  Speaker 13: shop local initialis all the things we do as an organization.
• 30:46
  Speaker 13: We say, we say so busy that for us at
• 30:49
  Speaker 13: the end of the year, for our board and our
• 30:50
  Speaker 13: staff to be able to turn around and and thank
• 30:52
  Speaker 13: and congratulate and shine a spotlight on these folks who
• 30:56
  Speaker 13: have made our work so enjoyable and rewarding. Frankly, is
• 31:01
  Speaker 13: really a tree for us. So that's one reason why
• 31:03
  Speaker 13: I think we love these awards so much.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: So who who? How do you go about choosing who
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: gets the award? Question?
• 31:08
  Speaker 13: We we take sort of, we unofficially take nominations just
• 31:12
  Speaker 13: from our board members and people in the public throughout
• 31:15
  Speaker 13: the year, and then we have a selection committee comprised
• 31:18
  Speaker 13: of our working group and board members that meet and
• 31:20
  Speaker 13: they they sort of assess all those nominations and in
• 31:24
  Speaker 13: the eight categories that the Urban Ight Awards are presented.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: In and they make they make their decision.
• 31:30
  Speaker 13: We have a committee that does that and they represent
• 31:32
  Speaker 13: every sort of facet of the City of Charleston, as
• 31:35
  Speaker 13: far as different professions, different backgrounds, as far as where
• 31:39
  Speaker 13: they live geographically. It's a it's a really good, well rounded,
• 31:42
  Speaker 13: diverse group of people that help us pick these.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Awards and talk about those categories.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:46
  Speaker 13: So the the first award of the evening is the
• 31:49
  Speaker 13: Rookie of the Year Awards. So that's a business that's
• 31:51
  Speaker 13: been an operation for a year or less.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 31:53
  Speaker 13: The second award is the Game Changer Award, and that's
• 31:57
  Speaker 13: business or property owners who are making lasting impact throughout
• 32:01
  Speaker 13: the districts. The next award is the Urban ear which
• 32:05
  Speaker 13: is the Urban Pioneer Award, and that's given to a
• 32:08
  Speaker 13: business to businesses that are in operation for ten years
• 32:11
  Speaker 13: or more that sort of blaze the trail for those
• 32:13
  Speaker 13: who have come after them. The next is the Employee
• 32:16
  Speaker 13: of the Year Award, which is one of my favorites
• 32:18
  Speaker 13: because we get to honor sort of the frontline staff,
• 32:21
  Speaker 13: and that's the baristas, the bartenders, the servers, the folks
• 32:26
  Speaker 13: working behind the counter at your favorite retail shop, and
• 32:30
  Speaker 13: we get to honor a few of those folks, which
• 32:32
  Speaker 13: is always a lot of fun and those are always
• 32:34
  Speaker 13: a surprise.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: The next is the Urban.
• 32:36
  Speaker 13: Artist Award, so that's not just visual art, but also entertainers,
• 32:40
  Speaker 13: musical entertainers, photographers. It runs a gamut and those are
• 32:44
  Speaker 13: the people who devote their talent to making our districts stronger.
• 32:48
  Speaker 13: The next is the Urban Service Award, and that's our
• 32:51
  Speaker 13: Volunteer of the Year award, which is always just a
• 32:54
  Speaker 13: really sometimes emotional award that we give out because these
• 32:57
  Speaker 13: are the folks who are dedicating so much of their
• 33:00
  Speaker 13: own time, usually at no cost to anybody else. They
• 33:05
  Speaker 13: do it out of the goodness of their heart, and
• 33:06
  Speaker 13: so we want to recognize those folks who who not
• 33:08
  Speaker 13: only help our organization, but other other nonprofits and other
• 33:11
  Speaker 13: groups in the valley. Our Urban Leadership Award is our
• 33:15
  Speaker 13: civic leader that we honor every year. This year's recipient
• 33:19
  Speaker 13: is really special. We're really excited about it. And then
• 33:21
  Speaker 13: of course, as I mentioned, Mayor Gooban will be announcing
• 33:24
  Speaker 13: who the Urban Night of the Year is and that's
• 33:25
  Speaker 13: the person who sort of encompasses all of the award
• 33:28
  Speaker 13: categories if you will. So, yeah, this at this event's
• 33:32
  Speaker 13: going nine years strong again, this is definitely the biggest
• 33:35
  Speaker 13: year he had. We are sold out. The event itself

  Speaker 13: you can't be there in person.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: And I have said before Rick, and you know this,
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: we're talking about Cabin and Charleston Urban Works. I mean,
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Charleston has got such a great network of people that
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: come out to do these things, to pull these things up.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: And it doesn't matter what it is you're in the
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: holiday season. It could be you know, things like the
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: big events that you think about, like the things that
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: you guys put on or regatta or or what you know,
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: the the Pro Road Championships or anything. But it's a
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: lot of smaller things that maybe don't get the headline
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: since you've got a great network of people that just
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: step up and say, hey, I'm gonna be there.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: I mean I did.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: I did an event Saturday at at Capital Market and
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: you have volunteers for that. It was a fundraiser the
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: biscuits and gravy goal. Okay, but we had a lot
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: of people that are just there just just to help.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: And I say that because anytime there's something going on
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: in Charleston and really the Kanaal Valley, you get that
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: great network of people that all come together and kind
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: of help out.
• 35:07
  Speaker 13: And I can tell you in my experience in this role,
• 35:09
  Speaker 13: and it's different capacities over the past eighteen years, those
• 35:12
  Speaker 13: folks aren't doing it to be seen or to say
• 35:15
  Speaker 13: they were there. They're doing it out of the goodness
• 35:16
  Speaker 13: other heart. They're doing it because they know the importance
• 35:18
  Speaker 13: of service. And you know, I've worked with so many
• 35:22
  Speaker 13: volunteers over the years, and I've count myself really lucky
• 35:24
  Speaker 13: to have worked with so many volunteers over the years,
• 35:26
  Speaker 13: and it's taught me so much.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: You know, I get paid to do this work.
• 35:29
  Speaker 13: I'm the executive director, I'm staff right, and of course
• 35:33
  Speaker 13: I have my own passions as it relates to urban
• 35:35
  Speaker 13: economic community development and just being involved in your community
• 35:38
  Speaker 13: of certainly, but working with so many of those folks
• 35:41
  Speaker 13: who just do it out of the goodness of their heart.
• 35:42
  Speaker 13: They get up on a Saturday morning at seven o'clock
• 35:44
  Speaker 13: and go help unload trucks and you know, set up
• 35:47
  Speaker 13: registration tents and you know poor Beer for instance, on
• 35:50
  Speaker 13: our events. I mean the list goes on. You know,
• 35:53
  Speaker 13: working with all those folks is not only inspiring, but
• 35:55
  Speaker 13: it's taught me a lot, you know, in my career
• 35:57
  Speaker 13: over the past eighteen years. So you know again this
• 36:01
  Speaker 13: this is just one way through our Urbanight Awards that
• 36:03
  Speaker 13: we that we showcase that and we say thank you.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: So we're really excited about it. Talking to a Cavnack

  Speaker 13: of the first We did this one other time, but
• 36:50
  Speaker 13: this is the first time we've had one of our
• 36:51
  Speaker 13: personalities doing this. Where uh think of like the Oscars.
• 36:54
  Speaker 13: Whenever you're the winner's name is announced from stage, music
• 36:57
  Speaker 13: starts playing immediately. We have announcers sort of give like
• 36:59
  Speaker 13: a short bio about that winner and sort of like
• 37:02
  Speaker 13: how they how they started their business or you know,
• 37:04
  Speaker 13: how they came to Charleston, whatever the case is. And
• 37:06
  Speaker 13: so you're going to learn something about each of these
• 37:08
  Speaker 13: winners from you and Woody as they're walking to stage
• 37:12
  Speaker 13: to get their awards, which I think is gonna add.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: Something really kind of cool to it. Now you are
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: feeding me right right, Oh yeah, yes, okay, sure, because.
• 37:19
  Speaker 13: I'm surprised that wasn't your first quh But no, who's that?
• 37:25
  Speaker 13: I'm sorry, Kel's tavern business City is catering.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually had a chance to uh run in
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: there when we were doing the October West. Yeah, because
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: we were down there and we had a little bit
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: of time. But myself and an animal, I mean, I
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: may not be allowed back in because I had I
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: was with Animal and Steve, Steve Animal and Shockley, So
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: I may not be allowed back in.
• 37:45
  Speaker 13: Oh, we already had that conversation earlier. Yeah, I'll be
• 37:48
  Speaker 13: surprised if they'll let you back in. But no, Yeah,
• 37:50
  Speaker 13: they're catering. We have an open bar of course. Uh
• 37:52
  Speaker 13: and in full catering there. So you'll you'll, you're you
• 37:55
  Speaker 13: your belly should be full by the end of the day.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: Well, and I tell you, look, it is a uh,
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: it's a testament. I think that that organizations like yours
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: want to recognize people. And again, these these categories and
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: things that you have, these are not people that are
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: asking for recognition. No, you know, I mean many times,
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know how it's been in the past, but
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: I would imagine over the last few years you've been
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: doing this, somebody somebody probably.
• 38:19
  Speaker 13: Said, really me, oh yeah, we've had It's always fun
• 38:22
  Speaker 13: to watch their surprise, like their face when they when
• 38:24
  Speaker 13: they realize they've been that they've been honored and there
• 38:27
  Speaker 13: of course they're always surprised. But some people have said,
• 38:29
  Speaker 13: like what why, Like I remember not to not to
• 38:33
  Speaker 13: throw name out there, but I know she won't mine.
• 38:35
  Speaker 13: But Councilwoman Mary Jean Davis, she had gotten one of
• 38:37
  Speaker 13: our Urban Leadership awards the very first year we did this,
• 38:40
  Speaker 13: and she was.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: She was the only one in the room who was shocked.
• 38:42
  Speaker 13: Everybody else assumed it was her because she embodies everything
• 38:45
  Speaker 13: that when do you think of the word leadership? But
• 38:48
  Speaker 13: she herself was like, really me, this could have went
• 38:50
  Speaker 13: to someone else. Of course Mary Jean says that, but yeah,
• 38:54
  Speaker 13: it runs a gamut with the responses. But no matter what,
• 38:58
  Speaker 13: it's a it's a it's a happy I'll say that.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: Well, while we have you here, I would be remiss
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: if I didn't bring up once you get this behind you,
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: this is your big thing right now. But once you
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: get this behind you, we're full on into the holiday season.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: And if you look outside, you know what started yesterday
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: morning and continues with the snow on the ground, It's
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: gonna be all gone by the end of the week.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: But that may put some people in a bit of
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: a Christmas spirit. I know, Charleston Urban Works, you go
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: above and beyond all year long, but especially during the
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: holiday season, there'll be a lot of exciting things going on.
• 39:27
  Speaker 13: Yes, So I mean we haven't done anything like directly
• 39:30
  Speaker 13: holiday related for for a while because there's such a
• 39:33
  Speaker 13: strong presence with Hala Jolly Brothley and the Downtown Charleston
• 39:36
  Speaker 13: Association does such an incredible job with that, and it
• 39:38
  Speaker 13: draws so many people to downtown and it's just such
• 39:41
  Speaker 13: an incredible event in time of year.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: We do want to make sure that we're spending some
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: time focusing on small Business Saturday. That's what I want.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: That's kind of what I was getting, and that's what
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: kind of what I was getting a not necessarily activities,
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: but aiding these businesses, especially like on the Saturday after
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: Thanksgiving and Small Business Saturday.
• 39:59
  Speaker 13: Yeah, and we'll be making in a couple announcements about
• 40:01
  Speaker 13: that throughout the evening during the Urban Out of Worse
• 40:02
  Speaker 13: tomorrow night. Actually about some of our initiatives as it
• 40:04
  Speaker 13: relates to our shop local programs, mainly our Passport debit
• 40:08
  Speaker 13: card program, which we're going to be pushing out there
• 40:11
  Speaker 13: more than ever here in the next in the coming months,
• 40:15
  Speaker 13: and a lot of our promotion, especially with small business Surday,
• 40:17
  Speaker 13: will be centered around, you know, encouraging people to get
• 40:20
  Speaker 13: their passport debit card from Element Federal Credit Union so
• 40:23
  Speaker 13: they can start, you know, getting the two percent cash
• 40:24
  Speaker 13: back benefits that they get it.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: You've done this last couple of years, but explain how
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: it works.
• 40:29
  Speaker 13: Yeah, it's actually pretty simple. You've become a member of
• 40:31
  Speaker 13: Elepment Federal Credit Union. You choose to get the passport
• 40:33
  Speaker 13: debit card that Charleston Urban Works Passport card, our logos
• 40:36
  Speaker 13: on it, on your actual debit card anytime you swipe
• 40:39
  Speaker 13: that card at any of our district businesses. And keep
• 40:41
  Speaker 13: in mind, we've just expanded into Kanas City and by
• 40:43
  Speaker 13: the beginning of the calendar year, we will have added
• 40:45
  Speaker 13: all of the Kanas City businesses to this list. Anytime
• 40:48
  Speaker 13: you swipe your card at any of those businesses East End,
• 40:50
  Speaker 13: west Side, we've included Downtown as well and now Kanas
• 40:54
  Speaker 13: City soon, you automatically get two percent cash back when
• 40:56
  Speaker 13: ever you purchase, which is typically something you just see
• 40:58
  Speaker 13: on a credit card, right, but this is a pretty
• 41:00
  Speaker 13: unique programming that it's.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: A debit card.
• 41:02
  Speaker 13: All you have to have as an account with Element,
• 41:05
  Speaker 13: I've become a member of theirs, get that debit card,
• 41:07
  Speaker 13: and you immediately start getting those benefits and experiencing that savings.
• 41:11
  Speaker 13: This is a really easy and effective way to encourage
• 41:14
  Speaker 13: folks to make the decision to shop local versus maybe
• 41:18
  Speaker 13: making the decision to go to a box store. Right,
• 41:20
  Speaker 13: and so we're going to be a big marketing campaign
• 41:23
  Speaker 13: surrounding that. We're gonna be pushing that really heavily over
• 41:25
  Speaker 13: the next few months. You'll hear more about it at
• 41:27
  Speaker 13: the early night awards tomorrow.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: And of course we'll have you on the air, you know,
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: definitely want to have you on maybe before Small Business Saturday. Yeah,
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: I'm to come in and talk about all right. So,

  Speaker 2: federal government day forty two. Case you keep you tracking home,
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: and it does look like it's going to go through.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: I do want to say though, that the need is
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: still going to be there, Okay, I mean, even if

  Speaker 2: the community. Now back to the opening, Jeff Jenkins has
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: a story posted about at wv metronews dot com. Senators
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: Shelley Moore, Capito and Jim Justice, of course, both voted
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: for ending it, and both put out statements that are
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: contained as part of Jeff's stories. So now I think
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: we sit back and wait. I know the talk Line
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: boys were efforting to get Senator Justice on today. I
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: do know for a fact that Senator Capito will be
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: on the show on talk Line tomorrow at ten oh six,
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: so it'll be interesting to get their take on it.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: I don't imagine that to take either one of them
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: is going to be very different than what we've heard
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: in the past. But both did this. Of course, there
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: had to be some crossover, if you will, from from
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: some Democrats. Eight I think it was the crossover to
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: support it. So that's where it is right now.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: And again my.
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: Editorial comment here, my only thing has been all along
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: and I hate that all these people or suffered because
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: of the government shut down, whether it's folks on snap
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: benefits or whether it was the military or federal workers
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: or so on and so forth. But you've heard me
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: say it before. We've we've got to get serious about
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: this national debt. And the only difference in my mind
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: between the Republicans and the Democrats right now is that
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: the Democrats want to add more national debt, a couple
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: of trillion more than what the Republicans do. So you're
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: not going to hear me beating the drum for the
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: Republican Party on that because they gop I'm talking to
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: you have got to get serious about this national debt.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: And the only difference between the two parties right now
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: again editorial comment, in my opinion, is the amount of
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: money that they want to add to the federal debt
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: and the number of trillions. It's a couple of more
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: trillion dollars the Democrats want to add. But you know,
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: the Republicans are just are just behind them. Brad Macklhenny
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: the story posted on the website wv metro News dot com.
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: Judge Richard lindsay Here in Kanawha County has denied a
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: preliminary injunction and dismissed the case as to whether the
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: governor has the authority to deploy the National Guard from
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: West Virginia to go serve on the streets of the
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: nation's capital. Well, apparently, according to Judge Lindsay, he does
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: have that authority. Now, there was lawsuits, you know, Auby
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: Sparks and the ACLU was part of this lawsuit and
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: went before Judge Richard Lindsay yesterday. And according to Judge
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: Lindsey and his interpretation of the law, which is what
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: matters brand and that's he the governor has every right
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: to do that. And so the story's posted about wv
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: metro news dot com. I mean it could be refiled
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: from one to understand at a later point, but that
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: is where it is right now. If you were out
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: traveling last night, I know I left the station a
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: little bit earlier that I normally do yesterday, around three
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: thirty or so, a little difficult in my commute back
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: to not because the roads were slick, but just because
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: it was near wide out conditions and you just couldn't
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: see anything, and then it got progressively worse as the
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: night went on. I left my house this morning a
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: little bit earlier. I left a little bit, uh, you know,
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: before seven or so this morning. And it was a
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: little slow going coming in from Putnam County, but not
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: nearly as bad I said this earlier. The roads I
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: think were a lot better six or seven am this
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: morning than what they were at seven pm last night.
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: In our state, sixty four for the most part was fine.
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: That off ramps getting off Virginia Street was a little slick. However,
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: I will say we had reports from one of our
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: own here that the area and out on the Childress
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: Road was very, very slick. And talked to a family
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: member of mine who lives in the hometown area of
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: Putnam County, and they got about six inches of snow
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: over there, and he reported via my wife this morning
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: that the third four connecting you know, let's think connecting
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: Hurricane or Tayese Valley area to Winfield was extremely slicky
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: even this morning, and that there were cars and ditches
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: and so on and so forth. That wasn't my that
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: wasn't what I encountered this morning coming in. But it
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: is going to get a lot better. Just before the show,
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: I actually walked out. Look, we got sunshine out there
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: right now. This is one of those freak things that
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: normally doesn't happen, you know, in November. But it's the
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: weather and what you're gonna do about the weather. Everybody
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: talks about it, as you also saying, goes, but nobody
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: does anything about it. It is gonna get much much
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: better though, as we go on. I mean, we're gonna
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: be approaching seventy by the end of the week, but
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: we're just getting It's still false so we're just getting
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: into the wintertime season, gonna be more snow and so
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: on and so forth. So you know, ain't much you
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: can you can do about it. I want to close
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: with this. Today is Veterans Day, and longtime listeners to
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: this show, and I've been doing this show for five
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: years now, we'll know that I have a very very
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: special place in my hard for veterans. My dad was
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: he passed away in twenty fourteen of complications from agent
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: Orange that he contracted in Vietnam. And you know, for
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: many folks, it's a day off today. Some offices are closed,
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: schools are closed, so on and so forth. But just
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: remember why it is that we are allowed. I'm allowed
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: to get on this radio to talk like I do
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: and give opinions and so on and so forth, and
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: other folks on this. We're allowed to do this because
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: of the service that our veterans have given to this country.
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: Many of them, many of them died for this country.
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: As you well know, West Virginia lost more people for
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: capita than any other state in the Union. So just
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: as you go about your day to day, and maybe
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: you know, I know, there's a big, big veterans parade
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: in Charleston starts at eleven o'clock this morning. Our sister
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: station ninety six one KS Rob real morning guy over there,
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: who is a veteran himself, is going to be taking
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: part in that parade. Just remember why it is that
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: we do the things we do, and while we're allowed
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: to do the things we do, and it's because of
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: our veterans. Thank you so much. All Right, gotta go.
