part of our store near you now there will be soon to to day Island
1:19
show in five Adil I brought to you by Thornhill Otter Group including Thornhill GM
1:23
Superstore where it's Chevy Truck season. We have got a lot to get to
1:27
this morning. Of course, the big story is the flooding. Now we'll
1:30
go ahead and say top of the show gave our good friend Hannah Gardner from
1:34
the Canall Charles Mumaine Association the day off from the Adopt Me Please Pet of
1:37
the Week segment. Hannah will return to the show next week. We actually
1:41
had some water, quite a bit of water at the shelter. No animals
1:44
were heard or anything like that, but I talked to him last night and
1:48
said, yeah, we may just goquead and give you the day off.
1:49
We are going to have a flooding update a little bit later on from the
1:53
Mayor of Charleston, Amy Shuiler. Good one who's going to join this plus
1:57
some happier notes to get to a little bit later on. We are going
2:00
to be joined by Michael Lipton from the West Virginia Music Hall of Fame classes
2:04
twenty twenty five will be adopted tomorrow, are not adopted to be an out
2:08
so I should say, tomorrow over at Capitol Market and we're going to talk
2:12
to Michael about that. Plus there's a very special fundraiser going on as it
2:15
pertains to an educator from the nitro community, and we are going to get
2:20
some details on that coming up a little bit later on too. Let me
2:23
go now first though, to a Kanak County Commissioner, Carper. Commissioner Carper,
2:27
Good morning, Welcome to the show. Good, good morning, Dave,
2:30
thanks for having me, Thanks for being here. We have played this
2:32
game before. Last week, as a matter of fact, it was tornadoes
2:38
that we were looking at, and then what we thought, Commissioner was going
2:43
to be a tornado out break yesterday actually turned out to be more of a
2:49
of the severe situation as far as the heavy rains and the flooding goes late
2:53
afternoon into the actually into the overnight hours. What can you tell us about
2:57
where we are right now, sir, Well, unfortunately, even though it
3:00
didn't look that bad according to some people, we went ahead it and activated
3:07
our EOC at one point thirty and then fully activated it about eight o'clock.
3:13
The bottom line is we had a lot of calls. I don't know how
3:16
many calls because we're having trouble counting them. Nine to one one Center was
3:22
just overwhelmed. I think the biggest damage is the western part of the county.
3:29
However, having said that, if you've got five feet of water in
3:31
your front of your house or in your basement, you consider yourself to be
3:36
the most damper or I understand that. One anecdote I will tell you,
3:43
And because I'm so proud of the nine to one one Center, you know,
3:46
in the twenty sixteen flood, I don't know if you remember this or
3:50
not, but our nine one one dispatcher throughout the state sometimes the last person
3:55
to talk to people before they drowned. So that still hangs over the head
4:00
of some of our telecommunicators who participated in that flood. Here, they had
4:08
similar cases where a woman was trapped in her car in a Systemville area actually
4:14
beat her window out of her car because she couldn't roll the windows down,
4:17
and then crawled on top of the car. Now, the nine one one
4:23
telecommunicators generally don't recommend that. However, in this particular case. I think
4:29
everybody made the right call because she's with us today. That's just one example
4:34
of some of the calls. The calls were fast and furious. What we'll
4:40
do now is do damage assessment. We were hoping we can get a disaster
4:45
declaration that might give some relief to the homeowners. But as you know,
4:49
Dave, the federal government has become stingy when it comes to dds. Yeah,
4:56
yeah, and you are exactly right. So what kind of a timeframeer?
5:00
Let me back up and say, so you're going to try to get
5:02
this disaster declaration done? How long does that process normally take? I know
5:08
you're dealing with the government, sir, and you couldn't you completely understand that.
5:11
And as I said, you've been through a lot of these. But
5:13
what kind of a time frame could we possibly be looking at here? Well,
5:15
we're from the government, we're here to help, but it takes us
5:18
a while to get around to it. I would say thirty days or so.
5:24
Pete, my guess where are we right now? As far as the
5:28
situations with the flood? I know you don't you can't tell us about all
5:31
of them, but I know and we have had some rain rolling through the
5:34
area this morning. Although it is light rain, which is it looks like
5:38
the heavy stuff at least is out of here. What are you hearing out
5:41
there as far as right down nine Am, as far as any road blockages
5:45
or things of that nature, Well, we've got roads blocked's basically in
5:47
the Smith Road area, out towards far Road, out towards Tornado Coal River
5:57
area. A lot of roads are blocked still and that's sporadic throughout the county,
6:01
mainly from trades that have fallen down and blocked the roadway. Now a
6:05
lot of them have been cut up. Volunteer fireman, let me just say
6:10
this, what would we do without our fire service, our career and our
6:15
volunteer fireman. I mean, I take nothing away from the depties, take
6:19
nothing away from the police. They did a heck of a job. But
6:24
the truth of the matter is the backbone of a rescue effort on this one
6:28
is the fire service. All right, Well, come mister Carper. I
6:31
appreciate you taking time out of your schedule to be here again. This was
6:35
kind of one of those situations, as I said, top of the segments
6:38
here where we started by thinking, okay, we're going to have another tornado
6:42
outbreak, and we didn't, thankfully, but we had a disaster of another
6:46
kind and the cleanup will continue and hopefully they tell us. My friends at
6:49
the in the Weather Service tell me that we're going to have some quiet weather
6:53
for a while, stort and I think we could probably use that here in
6:55
Kenawa County. Well, I'm here, we're going to have some wind us,
7:00
okay. And if we have wind guts of any nature, what some
7:03
whatever the root system on these trains right now. It's true. I didn't
7:10
think about that. Yeah, just a wind guns for two put trees there.
7:13
Yeah, it that'd be another issue. And that's when you start dealing
7:15
more with power out it. Just Commissioner, I appreciate you being here,
7:18
sir. Thanks a lot. We'll talk again soon, okay, Dave,
7:20
thank you. Canon County Commissioner K Carper. It is nine fourteen. In
7:25
the heart of West Virginia, there exists a profound force that goes beyond the
7:28
realm of sports, transcending limitations and fostering and sensi belonging and talking about special
7:31
Olympics. A remarkable initiative showcase of the latest episode of West Virginia enriched in
7:36
collaboration with Huntington, stands as a testament to the power determination, unity and
7:41
unwavering support. See a video highlighting the Special Olympics at facebook dot com slash
7:46
five eighty WCCHS. Again, we're talking about the the flooding situations that and
7:53
the cleanup. And that's something really I hadn't even thought about. Again as
7:56
it is, I appreciate Commissioner Krper for bringing that up. I had not
7:59
even really thought about that about with the with the high wind guests. I
8:03
was thinking more along the lines of like next week it's supposed to be kind
8:07
of quiet and and so with that, could we could be looking at some
8:13
some power out it just with the uprooted trees and whatnot. Let's go to
8:16
Charleston Mayor Amy Goodwin Mayor, good morning, Welcome to the show. Good
8:20
morning, thanks so much for having me on. Thank you for being here.
8:22
I know it's kind of a been a long night for your crews here
8:26
in the city at Charleston. Talk about it. Sure, it's actually been
8:30
a long, long couple of days. Plus now obviously we are in as
8:37
Commissioner Carper said, uh, when the eu v UC is activated before fully
8:45
and then we are engaged with the entire Kanal County team. So in the
8:50
city of Charleston, we're obviously this morning in recovery mode UH and triaging issues.
8:56
And recovery just means recovering the streets, recovering drains, recovering UH these
9:03
places in which people need to cross. We had we had some uh significant
9:09
flooding. You know, I don't know what the exact numbers are plus three
9:13
inches record. You know what I'm hearing is record flooding this morning. You
9:18
know, I've seen pictures, have been on the phone all night and this
9:22
morning. Sugar Creek works, the Abel Woodward, South russ Chesterfield. If
9:28
you're by a creek, you have flooding, significant flooding, Dave, and
9:33
our crews are out, our back hoes are out. So again I sound
9:37
like a broken record, Dave. Last week I said you'd be patient with
9:41
us, But our guys are out there moving debris, clearing out those rings.
9:48
And by the way, if you you know, if you see a
9:50
drain in the in the right of way or in the roadway that you feel
9:54
is blocking something, please please call me three three or four three four eight
9:58
sixty eight fifty. I'll repeat it, Dave three oh four three four eight
10:01
sixty eight fifty. Obviously, our crews are getting to the ones that we
10:07
have calls that have already come in through the night. But if there's one
10:13
that you think we're missing that needs to be done that is in you know,
10:16
we're triage in right if it's in the right of way, if it's
10:18
a danger, those are the ones we're hitting first. The keep in mind
10:24
we've got over eight thousand drains in the city days, so this much of
10:30
debris and this much water in them is just simply going to cause problems.
10:35
The other thing I note that we are troubleshooting and have been this morning is
10:39
you know the reason why I love working in municipal government is we're the closest
10:45
to the people. Like your trash service today, it's blocked right now the
10:50
road even though we feel that it will be open. Uh, so we
10:54
are still out doing trash service today. If today's your trash day, put
11:00
it out, we're coming to get it. It's again, be patient with
11:03
us, and you know, just keep us informed as we will keep you
11:09
informed. Good news, as we have wonderful council members who are out there
11:15
working alongside our crews. You know Bobby Haas, If you know council member
11:20
Bobby Hawks or Pat Jones or Janine Fagri, text him or call them and
11:26
just give them a thanks, because they are also the eyes and the ears
11:28
of that community who we're keeping in constant contact with here in the Mayor's office
11:33
and our Emergency services office as well. Dave all right, Mayor, I
11:37
know you're very busy, you and the staff there. I appreciate you taking
11:41
time out of your schedule and hopefully we'll get be able to have you back
11:43
on again when we're not talking about weather related emergencies. Thanks a lot,
11:48
Mayor. Sure, thank you, all right, Mayor Amy Sure, good
11:50
one the City of Charleston. It is nine nineteen Dave Allen, showing five
11:56
Adyline brought to you part by Borga to Morgan in America's largest injury law firm,
12:01
texts. This was actually a question about the animal shelter. Again.
12:05
Normally I would be having Handah Gardener on at this time when their adopt me.
12:07
Please put of the week. But I talked to Hannah last night saiday,
12:09
maybe maybe we'll just give you this week off because they're trying to clean
12:13
up some things up there as well. But if we had a text about
12:15
the animal shelter, I'll try to get an answer. If they're listening to
12:18
us of Angie or Hannah or somebody out there is listening that says the animal
12:20
shelters requesting and receiving a lot of donations, wouldn't all the damages be covered
12:24
by either the U haul insurer or shelters or for the shelter's first party ensure.
12:28
I do not know the question about that, or I do not know
12:33
the answer to that. I know the question I just asked them, but
12:35
I don't know what the answer that question is. I will try to see
12:39
if I could find out something about that. To Dave Island showing five Ady
12:41

17:07
voice you hears, Michael Lipton, how are you? Man? Hey?
17:10
Good? Thanks? I said tomorrow. Well, it feels like Saturday to
17:14
me. Okay. So the Western Music Hall of Fame on Sunday is going
17:17
to host their garden party that sponsored by Capitol Ford. Michael Lifton joins us
17:21
to talk about it on Sunday, not Saturday. Welcome to the show,
17:22
Michael, Hey, thanks. All right. So big happenings over there,
17:26
Well, yeah, we had done. You know, we call them a
17:30
garden party because I didn't want to call it a fundraiser because people are fundraisered
17:33
out and they don't make any money anyhow. It's more for spreading the word
17:37
and awareness and kind of just having a nice day of food, drinking,
17:42
music, And I actually had a chance several years ago to attend one of
17:45
those that you did at Cafe Somino. Yeah, those were sudden. That
17:51
was that was like ten years ago that that was actually like a pretty cool
17:55
day, I remember. Yeah, we did them for almost ten years and
17:57
then virus interrupted things and then they sold the place. So we'd been looking
18:03
for another place and the Capitol Market just seemed to be the ideal, you
18:10
know venue. So we're doing it outside under their pavilion in the back.
18:14
The weather's supposed to be great, and food, drink and music. And
18:21
as far as music, we have the Parachute Brigade and they were kind of
18:26
based in Beckley, but they're half based in Charleston now. Really a wonderful
18:30
group, great singers, great songs. Josh Pantry, who's really popular solo
18:38
guy. I guess he plays with other people too. And then we're bringing
18:42
John Ellison and he's a twenty fifteen inductee and he wrote the song some kind
18:48
of Wonderful, which pretty much everybody knows. In fact, he's getting recognized
18:53
in June at the Greenbrier by BMI. You of course, you know them
19:00
publishing Keviny charging everybody money, yes, but for approaching five million plays with
19:08
Some kind of Wonderful. Amazing. And as you said, there have been
19:11
so many different versions of that song. I think if you become a musician,
19:15
Michael, I think they they it's in the contract you have to learn
19:18
this song because I mean you think about all the different genres of people,
19:22
and people still love to do it in concerts and bars. And that song
19:25
emanated from somebody right here in West Virginia. That's cool stuff, Yeah it
19:27
is. I mean, I don't think there's anybody else in the state who
19:32
has racked up that many airplays. And the most recent cover version of Some
19:38
kind of Wonderful was Rod Stewart, Oh, a couple of years ago.
19:42
Rod can do pretty much anything. I'm a big Rod Stewart. Yeah,
19:45
he can do he can do just about anything. Yeah. Yeah, No,
19:48
that was and as John likes to say, he kept his publishing so
19:53
every time it gets played exactly well, that's good because so many artists of
19:59
that era did not do that, and they and when you hear their songs,
20:03
they don't get anything for it. That's what's wonderful. And one of
20:06
the things I like about John Allison too. Am I gonna make this to
20:07
John Allison show? But one thing I like about Ellison is he is constantly
20:11
promoting West Virginia no matter where he goes, and he spends so much time
20:17
here in West Virginia just because he wants to be. He didn't need to
20:18
be here, just because he wants to be. Yeah, you know,
20:21
he's going on either eighty two, I believe, and he just he's an
20:29
unbelievable performer and singer and entertainer and he has just I wish I had half
20:34
his energy. And we went out with him. We've been doing a lot
20:37
of shows with him. We went out for a couple of weeks last summer
20:40
and traveled through Oh sorry, my cat. Okay, so do you have
20:47
a cat with you? Yeah, it's on the phone. Oh okay,
20:51
my daughter put that ring on. So I was gonna say that may be
20:56
new because normally on Fridays I do a segment called the Adopt Me Please put
20:59
it the Way, But because I wanted to get Commissioner Carper and Mayor good
21:02
One on to talk about the flooding, I didn't do the segment this week,
21:04
and I thought, well, the animals have found me anyway, you
21:07
can give them a little plug, right, all right, so go ahead.
21:11
So oh anyhow, so we went out through Ohio and Wisconsin and Michigan
21:18
and I don't know another state, but for two weeks and he, you
21:25
know, singing almost every night and he never never ran out of energy.
21:30
And I'll give your sponsors a little plug. The Pigley Wiggly Bigley people.
21:34
Yeah, John has a spice called some kind of Wonderful Spice which is available
21:40
at the big Lely Piggly Wiggly Nice. And when John's in town, he
21:44
often goes there and he he brings a little guitar and he sings in the
21:48
banana section and sometimes we go play with him and stuff. Yeah, he's
21:52
great. I love it. I love it. Uh so? Uh so
21:56
is that all the musicians that we cover, everybody that's going to be there.
21:59
And I want to talk about Josh Pantry from one. I don't know
22:00
this gentleman personally, but I do know that he's popping up everywhere these days,
22:06
and he has quite the following here in the Kanawh Valley and elsewhere.
22:10
Yeah, well, we wanted to, you know, I think this is
22:14
something no matter what. When you start something, it's you. You start
22:19
using your friends to do stuff, sure well, and that you know that
22:23
can get a little incestuous. So we're trying to reach out to people we
22:27
haven't really brought into our folds. And and you know that's both Josh and
22:34
the parasoper grade. Yeah, it's it's going to be a great, great
22:40
day. And again you're also going to make the announcement about the Hall of
22:41
Fame. Is that right? Yeah, thanks for reminding me. Yeah,
22:45
yeah, we are. It's uh, the ceremony will be almost exactly a
22:51
year from this coming Sunday, except for next year. Yeah, twenty twenty
22:56
five. It'll be the tenth ceremony, and it'll also be the twentieth year
23:02
that we've been an organization. And so yeah, we about have everything figured
23:07
out. And it takes the better part of a year to put this event
23:11
together. There's a lot that goes into it. We create these little mini
23:15
movies for each of the inductees and which Michael Valentine does, want to give
23:21
him a little plug because he's great and you know, and then we try
23:26
and find out, okay, who would be It's an interesting process, who
23:30
would be a good presenter for this act and if they're deceased, who could
23:34
we get to perform? And we have some really interesting ideas and options that
23:42
we've reached out to people. And I don't even want to say it,
23:45
because you know, you go for the big fish. Usually it doesn't happen,
23:49
but every once in a while it does. You never know. Yeah,
23:52
exactly approximately how many people are in the Westerrgin Music Hall of Fame now?
23:57
Sixty two? I think, I think I'm not sure if that includes
24:02
the twenty twenty three class, so it might be sixty six. And I
24:06
think it's I think sometimes and this is just and we can play amateur sociologists
24:11
here. You want to how in West Virginia we don't give ourselves enough credit
24:14
for anything or our own worst entity. But I don't think sometimes people realize,
24:18
Michael, how much we have contributed. We talked about the John Ellison
24:22
story and that's just one how much we have contributed as a state to the
24:26
entertainment, but not just music, but other other fields as well. Yeah.
24:29
No, And that's one of our main missions really is to let people
24:34
know because you know, hey, it's no secret West Virginia gets behind eight
24:41
ball with in the pr department. Nationally, we you know, we get
24:47
hit on pretty good. And I think it's really important for kids and for
24:52
adults too to have state pride and you know, hey, it's only music,
24:57
but there's some really wonderful music and important musicians that have really had an
25:03
impact not just in the state, but in the country, in the world.
25:07
And now with the advent, you know, the last twenty years,
25:08
with the Internet being what it is, and people can go look. I
25:11
mean as a music geek, when I was a kid, I had to
25:14
really go try to find music, you know, using my parents' record collection
25:18
or my grandparents were big into everything from big band to bluegrass. But now
25:23
it's just it's right It's on your phone, you know, it's right there,
25:26
on your computer, your tablet or whatever it is the kids use,
25:30
it's right there. So they've got an opportunity to learn more about this music
25:33
a lot more than what people of our age did. Yeah, right,
25:37
And it's in their laps. Yeah, but there's a lot of things in
25:41
their laps, so we have to kind of steer them to do the good
25:45
things. And that's one of the things too. I like about the music
25:48
Hall of Fame is is that there's such a wide range of people that have
25:52
contributed to this wonderful music in West Virginia. I mean everything, as we
25:56
said, gospel to punk to bluegrass, I mean, it's all, it's
26:00
all represented there. Yeah. Well, that was one of the things when
26:03
I started this thing. I wanted to make sure it was kind of comprehensive
26:07
and not just a country music Hall of Fame, because you know, when
26:12
people think of West Virginia music, they think of country and gospel and traditional
26:17
and bluegrass, which is great, and we have a lot of that,
26:19
but there's a lot of other things, you know, just like every other
26:25
state. But we get kind of pigeonholed more than some And you know,
26:32
in twenty twenty three, we inducted two of the co founders of Parliament Funkadelic
26:37
who are from West Virginia, which was when I found that out, it
26:40
was like, wow, wow's is that possible? That's what you're thinking of
26:42
yourself? I mean those kind and if you're familiar with there, I will
26:45
just say this, there would be almost no hip hop music if it were
26:49
not for a Parliament Funkadelic. I mean, because that's in the early days,
26:55
ninety percent of the music that was sampled came from those right really well
27:00
next to James Brown, Yes, sample, yeah, funkayt Yeah, you're
27:04
right. So everything's happening on Sunday over at to Capital Market. Where can
27:08
people get tickets? Let's see? Or will they be available at the door.
27:15
They'll be available at the door, and there is a u ur l
27:18
to get that, but I'm trying to figure out how to get there.
27:21
Well, I tell you I have on posted on my social media. I've
27:25
got the poster that's kind of what I did for the preview the show today.
27:27
So what's on there? So hopefully it's on there. If not,
27:30

27:37
drink, right correct, Yeah, and it's tax deductible. Yeah. Well,
27:41
you know, every little in that bracket, the little vantage helps.
27:45

27:51
here in the Canall Valley. After the last couple of weeks, the weather
27:53
is going to be a picture perfect spring almost early summer day. They tell
27:56
us on Sundays, so it'd be a great day for you to come over
28:00
Capital Market and check it all out on Sunday. Yeah, yeah, we

Texas Dave. None of the morning shows got uploaded yesterday. Did the podcast
31:44
gnome affect that no WI. Yeah, I'm give a little inside baseball information
31:48
here, all right. And I think I have mentioned this on the show
31:51
a couple of times. We are undergoing a major renovation project here and I
31:53
walk in there, I never know what I'm going to walk into when the
31:56
walk into the studio. Chris Lawrence of courses in here and Kerry before me
32:00
and I walk in, there's a there's a random ladder over in the corner,
32:05
and there there is tape on the floor. And I thought sure that
32:09
Ryan had killed someone again because there was tape on the floor over here.
32:14
I wasn't like in the form of a body, So I don't I don't
32:15
know a bottom. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you know,
32:19
we've been doing a lot of upgrades and so on and so forth.
32:22
But I do understand. I talked to Ryan during the break that yesterday shows
32:25
have now been uploaded. There was sort of an issue yesterday, but I
32:29
think that has been taken care of, So thank you so much for checking
32:31
it out. And that's a good a good place for me to remind you

33:25
schedule to join us here in a couple of moments to talk about and then
33:29
the ironic thing about this was we had Erica schedule to join not only this
33:35
station, but stations all across the WVRC media family to talk about some of
33:40
the cleanup efforts from last week storms from the tornadoes. And I was looking
33:45
at Erica's schedule. I mean, she was on with with with the folks
33:50
in Beckley and with Martinsburg. I think she's got a spot on Hoppy coming
33:52
up next hour. She's going to be on with Hotline with Weekly and Coop
33:55
coming up a little bit later on. But she wanted the opportunity to talk
33:59
about that, and well, you know what, we may actually talk about
34:02
some things that happened here last night in the Kanaw Valley. And it was
34:07
I was, like you, I was. I was at my home in
34:08
Putnam County. Other than a few of the normal, as they say,
34:12
low lying areas, we didn't have a lot of new issues in Putnam County,
34:15
but man, some other areas did. And those you know, iconic
34:19
pictures that are out there right now from the flooding, especially the one the
34:22
one that I think it took everybody's attention because I saw it shared like ten
34:27
thousand times, and that was on the Interstate on Greenbrier Streets with that water
34:32
just cascading off of the mountains. There just unbelievable, unbelievable pictures. And
34:39
we do have stories posted about it all wv Metro News dot com at wchsnetwork
34:45
dot com. Let me see here, Texas says this is a reference to
34:52
the mayor's comments. I bet it's been long night's considering what's happening with Ty
34:55
Hunt, not to mention the third party employees who were paid for working through
35:00
under and sixty five days a year, says Texter. It's ever back on
35:02
when you're willing to address the tough issues, you're throwing softballs to everyone.
35:07
Well, I mean, considering that people's lives were in danger last night.
35:09
If you thought I was going to ask the mayor about the situation with Ty
35:13
kunt or about Kent Carper within any of his other issues, well you've probably
35:16
got another thing coming, because there's a time and place and that ain't In
35:21
last Tuesday, our area was ravaged by storms and tornadoes. The exact numbers
35:25
change as more research has done. We saw more severe weather here yesterday,
35:30
as I said, more flooding than what we had with the tornadoes. Cleanups
35:36
continue around the sate of West Virginia from last week storm and the WVRC media
35:40
family, of course, doing our part to help Erica Manning's from the Red
35:43
Cross that she joins US now Erica. Good morning, welcome to the show.
35:45
Good morning, thanks for having me. The Red Cross team has certainly
35:50
been in full swing over the last couple of weeks, and with what you've
35:55
mentioned with the storms, tornadoes, flooding, and additionally, you know,
36:01
the every day response to home fires that we're doing, it has been NonStop
36:07
for sure. Yeah, exactly. So what exactly is your ask right now
36:12
for our listeners this morning. Well, we are able to be on the
36:17
scene for immediate emergency response to people who have lost everything because we have generous
36:24
donors who make that possible. And we are hoping today that we can encourage
36:30
folks to consider giving a monetary donation to the Red Cross to make sure that
36:37
we can be there immediately following disasters, just like we have been for these
36:43
floods, tornadoes as well as fires. And you can do that by going
36:49
to one eight hundred Red Cross or calling our local office. Either number you
36:54
use will get you to our local office, and you can go to Red
36:59
Cross dot org, put in your zip code and see how you can help,
37:04
whether that is through a monetary donation, becoming a volunteer or even signing
37:08
up to give blood. And that's an important thing because you know, automatically,
37:13
when you talk about I guess the Red Cross. So for that matter,
37:15
any other charitable type emergency situation, people automatically think, well, it's
37:20
it's about money. And yes, money is a very important part of it.
37:22
But there are ways that you can help out these organizations Erica that have
37:25
nothing to do with money. As you said, giving blood, you know,
37:29
giving your time, these things are just as important. We like to
37:32
say that at the Red Cross there is truly something for everyone. So you
37:37
know, if you have the time to volunteer, that is the key reason
37:42
that we are able to be out there, in addition to the monetary donations
37:46
that our donors make. And again, if you are just looking at how
37:51
can I get involved, going to Redcross dot org and putting in your zip
37:55
code can show you all the ways that you can get involved with the Red
38:00
Cross and help our community. Right here, and let's talk about what we
38:04
saw last week around the mountain state. You know, there's always and I'm
38:07
from southern West Virginia where the mountains are a lot more plentiful than what they
38:10
are around these parts here in Charleston. I hear a lot from people say,
38:13
well, the tornadoes, you know, they won't come here. Well,
38:15
I think we prove that wrong last week. And not to play meteorologists
38:20
or anything like that, but I think that what we've proven here is that
38:23
these type of disasters Erica can happen anywhere. They surely do. And you
38:30
know, the National Weather Service even called what happened here last week historic with
38:35
the number of tornadoes. We keep adding to it, We keep adding to
38:37
it as more research is done, we sure do. And you know,
38:42
as as our teams have been out, we have seen an amazing amount of
38:47
destruction. Is it is just breathtaking. And when families have events like this
38:55
happen, you know, they lose everything. We see, we work with
39:00
families that have had their homes either destroyed or majorly damaged such that they cannot
39:07
stay in their homes. They have to find another place to turn. And
39:10
when that happens in you know large you know, uh geographies like this,
39:16
we find ourselves having to, you know, go out to the many geographies,
39:22
do damage assessment and meet with those families, provide them financial assistance,
39:27
give them individualized caseworks so you know, some families lost prescriptions, right,
39:34
they need those to immediately, you know, take care of their health.
39:38
They may have lost medical durable goods. You know, we've we've had clients
39:45
just this past week that said, we're staying with friends, you know,
39:50
but because you know, you've given us this money, we can now make
39:54
sure that we're able to contribute to to feed our family because our friends can't
40:01
afford to feed our family too. So you know, they told us part
40:06
of that money is going to make sure that they can have groceries, you
40:08
know. So you know, this is that immediate emergency assistance that we're providing,
40:14
and it goes such a long way because they've lost everything food, clothes,
40:19
shoes, you know, they're like I mentioned, their prescriptions and just
40:23
so much more. And with all of that, our caseworkers help not only
40:29
with financial assistance from the Red Cross, but we make sure we find the
40:32
you know, the opportunities for additional assistance in their area. All right,
40:38
Erica, I know you've got a busy day. As I said, you've
40:40
been on with all of our station's day. I think Somersville, Beckley,
40:45
Martinsburg, Morgantown, Clarksburg. You're on with Hoppy next hour. You're on
40:47
with Weekly and Coop this afternoon. I'm so sorry you had to deal with
40:51
that many radio people in one day. There's probably there's probably a special place
40:54
in heaven for you, you know that, right. You all have been
40:58
so kind to let us put this out there. Thank you so much.
41:00
All right, eric A Maddi from the Red Cross, give us theecond,
41:02
give us the information again. How people can can help out absolutely, call
41:07
us at our local office or one eight hundred Red Cross which is easier to
41:12
remember, or go to Redcross dot org put in your zip code and see
41:15
how you can get involved. All right, Eric, I appreciate it.
41:17
Be safe out there. We'll talk again soon. Thanks a lot, Thank

41:36
radical left Marxist communist thugs to control you. Yeah, here's the thing I
41:42
had this conversation with somebody yesterday. You can believe what you want to about
41:47
climate change. I for one, believe it's one hundred percent a real thing.
41:55
We are seeing people that have never experienced tornado before experienced tornadoes. We
42:01
are seeing snow in areas we have never seen snow. We are not seeing
42:07
snow in other areas where we used to see snow. We're seeing hurricanes strike
42:09
places that have never done before, not only here in the US, but
42:13
in other places. We'll talk about extreme weather events now, not just hurricanes.
42:16
You can argue all day as to how much of how much of this
42:22
is man made and how much of it's not, but extreme weather and climate
42:29
change is one hundred percent of real thing. Now, where it gets hippy
42:32
is when it becomes politicized. And I'm not going to get in that argument.
42:36
But yeah, it's real. It is nine forty nine. Back after

45:28
today is not the day to question her on anything other than any volunteer help
45:30
needed with flood cleanup. We're to take all the debris or cleaning supplies,
45:35
donations, etc. Text says we have less than two hundred and fifty years
45:39
are truly accurate weather data. There are hundreds of thousands of years, when
45:44
we have almost zero accurate data to base our entire opinion on such a tiny
45:49
sample throughout all of history is the height of narcissism. Climate activists are arrogant
45:52
narcissists that think very highly of themselves in their opinion, most of them.
45:57
I don't disagree with the texture on that life statement at all. Big event
46:00
habiting tomorrow late afternoon to nightro They're calling it Samuel Strong and it's a fundraiser
46:06
for a gentleman named Will. Samuel. Nicki Gordon is vice principal at Nitra
46:09
High School and she joins us now to talk about HIMSS Gordon, good morning,
46:13
Welcome to the show. Good morning, Dave. How are you today?
46:15
I'm doing fine. First of all, who is the Samuel that we
46:17
speak of here? So Will Samuel. He was a teacher at Niger High
46:22
School. He was our pe teacher for several years, but he is currently
46:25
a PE teacher now at cross Lands Almentry. But he's a huge part of
46:29
our community, involved in youth sports, coaching, basketball, baseball, involved
46:36
in everything. He's just a huge part of our community and we're here to
46:39
rally around him during his time battling cancer and want to make sure what we
46:45
can do our part to help his family during this terrible time. And understand
46:50
you're going to be doing an alumni basketball game tomorrow at the high school to
46:52
raise fun. Starts at five and actually two games, is that right,
46:55
Yes, that is right. We are going to open the doors at five.
47:00
Games will kick off at five thirty. We have alumni girls playing at
47:04
five thirty. We have about thirty five alumnis that are going to be playing
47:09
in that game, big names, Meg Withrow, Billy Goins, lots of
47:15
key players that were here at Nitros several years ago back to rally around and
47:20
support our community. And then immediately following at six point thirty seven o'clock,
47:24
we will have our boys playing and have a great time with that as well.
47:30
And you've got other activities going on in addition to the basketball, right,
47:34
yeah, we are going to have of course concessions stand we know keep
47:37
people love food, lots of everything donated to us so all proceeds can go
47:42
to Will and his family. We want to thank our other clubs and groups
47:46
for providing that food and drinks so we didn't have to purchase anything. And
47:51
funds can go directly back to them. We will have a fifty to fifty
47:54
drawing that the cheerleaders will work on. We'll also have alumni cheerleaders at both
47:58
games. They've been in the gym this week, dustin off their palms,
48:01
getting ready for the big game. And then we'll have a half court shootout
48:07
between the games. There will be some prizes for the kids adults as well.
48:12
We just want to make it fun for everybody. And then Boss Babe
48:15
Events is bringing her photo booth and photo backdrop of a basketball and it's going
48:21

48:25
a fun night with some photos and stuff to memorize. Uh. To memorials

is going to be an annual thing. We're going to call it the Helping
48:37
Hands Tournament every year. Okay. We want to, you know, give

Texas, I'm confused. Does politicizing climate change mean actually trying to do
50:22
something about it rather than to pay it lip service? Well, it is
50:27
one of the most politicized political things to totally butcher the English language that there
50:32
is out there is climate change, Texas, Dave. We have lawmakers that
50:37
brag about our Rainy Day Fund having one billion dollars in it, but can't
50:42
help people when disasters happen, Like they always say it's taxpayer's money, but
50:45
you can't have it, as was reported yesterday, And I'll go back to
50:50
a text from an earlier Texter. Former police chef Tai Hunt in Charleston suspended
50:55
and has been demoted from the Charleston Police Department. According to reports, he
50:59
is now a corpril, which is two ranks down from being a lieutenant.
51:02
A statement on the entire incident issued by Chief Dempsey earlier this week, Tony
51:07
Haslt also with the department, spoke with the exact mail and would not comment
51:12
as to when Ty Hunt would return. Now in a statement from Chief Dempsey,
51:15
and we talked to him, we meaning the news department, Chief Dempsey,
51:20
and you can read the story by the way wv Metronews dot com.
51:22
Chief Dempsey said the investigation concluded on April second, and that they could not
51:27
release specifics. Now. I will tell you that I talked with officials from
51:30
the city last night prior to prior to the flooding and everything that we saw
51:37
in and around the Charleston Aary. This was actually the late afternoon and be
51:38
a better way to describe it. And the comment from them, because I
51:42
did invite them on the show to talk about that specifically, the comment from
51:45
them was pretty much no comment, and as Chief Dempsey said, It is
51:52
a personnel matter, and that's all that we have to go on at this
51:54
time. I will close with this. Results were announced yesterday on Hoppy.
52:00
As far as the West Virginia poll goes, it says more Capitol and Patrick
52:02
Morrissey are now running neck and neck in the race for the Republican nomination for
52:07
governor. Morrissey thirty one percent of the vote. Capital at twenty nine percent,
52:10
Chris Miller is at sixteen percent, and Secretary of State Mac Warner at
52:14
twelve percent. One thing that has changed so we get closer than May primary
52:17
is the undecided. Undecided numbers are going way down. They were about thirty
52:21
percent now only down to about ten percent. That poll done by Research America
52:24
and Rix Repass and Metro News, sponsored by the Health Plan. Details available
