3:40
Speaker 4: All right, So are they concerned, you know, these family
3:44
Speaker 4: members of yours, about each year everything just getting combined
3:47
Speaker 4: or is it just better to have one?
3:49
Speaker 8: Oh?
3:49
Speaker 5: No, they're not at all.
3:51
Speaker 6: They are super excited to have anything Christmas themed to
3:55
Speaker 6: go along with her birthday.
3:56
Speaker 4: So what's your what's your favorite part of the Christmas season.
4:00
Speaker 5: I love to bake with my children. Okay, it's a
4:02
Speaker 5: lot of fun.
4:03
Speaker 4: Okay, what do we bake? And where are the samples?
4:06
Speaker 5: I did not bring tho in this morning, So I
4:09
Speaker 5: have a.
4:09
Speaker 4: Homemade people I should have known.
4:13
Speaker 6: Geez, I've safely guarded homemade piscotti recipe. So if you're
4:18
Speaker 6: not a piscotti fan, it's just because you haven't had mine.
4:20
Speaker 4: So I am a big piscotti fan.
4:22
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, now I know I'll have to bring some.
4:24
Speaker 4: In noted noted for next time that you're here. So
4:27
Speaker 4: tell us about your place. Liberty Row Children's Clothier and
4:29
Speaker 4: Toy Company. That's quite a mouthful. Tell us about it.
4:31
Speaker 5: It is.
4:32
Speaker 6: We started off originally carrying high end children's clothing. We
4:36
Speaker 6: have eight children, so we felt the eight children I
4:40
Speaker 6: was waiting, Yes, we have eight children.
4:42
Speaker 4: Don't talk here about me. I'm kidding. That's the voice
4:46
Speaker 4: of body's price and you'll be on the child. I'm
4:47
Speaker 4: just kidding with you here, But go ahead.
4:49
Speaker 5: Eight eight kids, yes, twenty down to age three.
4:52
Speaker 6: And quality clothing is something you don't always find, especially
4:56
Speaker 6: in the Charleston area. And we saw that opening a
5:00
Speaker 6: complaining to my husband that we had to go travel
5:02
Speaker 6: to Charlotte or Columbus if you wanted something special, and
5:06
Speaker 6: so he said, well, I think you could solve that problem.
5:10
Speaker 6: So we started off with children's clothing and toys, but
5:12
Speaker 6: we have quickly morphed into a lot of gifts. So
5:15
Speaker 6: if you were looking for a gift for someone in
5:17
Speaker 6: your life, we have something for everyone.
5:20
Speaker 4: So give us an example to some of those things.
5:21
Speaker 4: I mean, and we know the clothing items and what
5:25
Speaker 4: is it that separates the high end clothing items for
5:27
Speaker 4: just regular clothes? I mean, what's hot, I guess is
5:30
Speaker 4: what I'm looking for.
5:31
Speaker 6: Well, this time of year, if you're looking for a
5:34
Speaker 6: special Christmas dress, you don't want your daughter to be
5:36
Speaker 6: wearing one of you know, five of the same dress that.
5:39
Speaker 6: Since we're limited here in our shopping, you definitely can
5:41
Speaker 6: find something different and unique.
5:43
Speaker 5: Quality, though, I would say, is something that.
5:45
Speaker 6: You can wash and wear and wash and wear, and
5:46
Speaker 6: you can hand down and it doesn't look like it's
5:49
Speaker 6: been washed and worn and washed and worn, So hand
5:52
Speaker 6: me down. Quality is definitely super important. Then also gifting,
5:57
Speaker 6: you're asking hilariously enough. My hottest selling gift basket this
6:00
Speaker 6: time of year is our bourbon gift basket. So we
6:04
Speaker 6: have custom h to three or four Charlie West bourbon glasses.
6:07
Speaker 6: We carry lots of bourbon barrel products.
6:09
Speaker 4: Dickinson may not necessarily aim for the children.
6:12
Speaker 5: No, No, it's for the parents who are dealing.
6:16
Speaker 4: I got it. Makes it a lot easier.
6:19
Speaker 6: So Dickinson Sealt makes that awesome salt and sorghum bitters
6:22
Speaker 6: that we have lots of great, different, unique products. Paul Smith,
6:26
Speaker 6: who's right next door at ten Toon Bridge, made some
6:28
Speaker 6: awesome recommendations on some food lines for us, so you
6:31
Speaker 6: can find some gourmet food and gift.
6:32
Speaker 4: It's got to be really cool having Chef Paul next door.
6:35
Speaker 4: I listened to his interview Who's on with the with
6:36
Speaker 4: Weekly on Hotline yesterday and I listened to it on
6:38
Speaker 4: my drive home yesterday, and I love having Chef Paul
6:41
Speaker 4: on the show. It's got to there's a whole lot
6:43
Speaker 4: worse neighbors you could have than Chef Paul.
6:45
Speaker 6: Oh, they are there, They're amazing. We really they took
6:49
Speaker 6: our mail while we were under construction, we were able
6:51
Speaker 6: to keep their tables where they're having their floors redone.
6:53
Speaker 6: They're just truly good people and we really appreciate and
6:58
Speaker 6: we get some evening traffic, some walk through traffic because of.

7:04

Speaker 4: is your place? I know it's next to ten ten
7:22
Speaker 4: but for those that may not know exactly where is that?
7:24
Speaker 6: Sure? We are on Bridge Road and the Bridge Road
7:26
Speaker 6: Shopping District right here in Charlston, West Virginia in the
7:30
Speaker 6: South Hills area.
7:31
Speaker 4: And talk about that bridger Row Shopping district because I
7:34
Speaker 4: think sometimes when people think of shopping, you know here
7:37
Speaker 4: in the area. Of course, they think of the malls
7:38
Speaker 4: and things of that, and there's a place for that,
7:40
Speaker 4: and they think of what's considered to be the downtown
7:42
Speaker 4: businesses and a place for that as well. But you
7:44
Speaker 4: guys are I don't want to say you're hitting gym
7:47
Speaker 4: because I think everybody in Charleston pretty much knows about it,
7:49
Speaker 4: but maybe those that live in other areas in our
7:51
Speaker 4: listing area may not realize everything that there is to
7:55
Speaker 4: offer up there.
7:56
Speaker 6: Oh you'd be surprised how many people come up and say,
7:58
Speaker 6: oh my goodness, I had no idea this was up here.
8:01
Speaker 6: And you literally could knock out your entire shopping list
8:04
Speaker 6: for Christmas in that area. There's gifts, shoes, high end
8:09
Speaker 6: women's clothing, men's clothing, there's just something for everybody. An
8:13
Speaker 6: amazing bakery, just.
8:14
Speaker 4: Some really great food options up there too, are a
8:16
Speaker 4: really good not just Tantan, but all the others.
8:19
Speaker 6: Well, you've got Romeos Gelato, You've got Lola's fern Bank,
8:23
Speaker 6: which is amazing farm to table bar food that's different.
8:26
Speaker 5: And then obviously ten ten Bridge.
8:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, again, we're talking with Jessica Bacchis and she and
8:32
Speaker 4: her company will be it's a Liberty Road children's clothing
8:36
Speaker 4: and toy company sponsoring our coverage of the parade tonight.
8:39
Speaker 4: So why was it important for you to sponsor the parade?
8:43
Speaker 4: Our coverage.
8:44
Speaker 5: We love the children.
8:45
Speaker 6: We love my children, love every year participating in the parade,
8:48
Speaker 6: watching the parade, have had several marching bands, and we
8:51
Speaker 6: love to be part of the community. So one of
8:53
Speaker 6: the things we want to be known about Liberty Row
8:55
Speaker 6: is that we are community involved. And so this was
8:58
Speaker 6: just another way that we can be involved in the community.
9:00
Speaker 4: And this is so important I think for people to realize,
9:03
Speaker 4: you know. And again there's places I get it for
9:05
Speaker 4: different types of shopping, not just Christmas but year round.
9:09
Speaker 4: But you guys and you folks like that, and there's
9:12
Speaker 4: several all over Charleston, all over the Kanal Valley that
9:14
Speaker 4: truly give back to the community. Amazon doesn't necessarily do that,
9:19
Speaker 4: you know. And so when you guys are the first
9:23
Speaker 4: ones to step up, and I know that you just
9:24
Speaker 4: get covered up with people asking for donations and you're
9:28
Speaker 4: happy to help. But I think the consumers also owe
9:32
Speaker 4: you guys a little something by saying, Okay, you've always
9:34
Speaker 4: been good to help out the community, to sponsor events
9:37
Speaker 4: like this, we need your help, especially coming out of
9:39
Speaker 4: the COVID years.
9:41
Speaker 6: Absolutely, we have a lot of people who just assume
9:44
Speaker 6: they can get things less expensive on Amazon. When actually
9:47
Speaker 6: a lot of times we beat the price on Amazon,
9:49
Speaker 6: especially on toys and other things. But one of the
9:51
Speaker 6: things that we really try to do, we have several
9:54
Speaker 6: of our brands that have a philanthropic purpose behind what
9:56
Speaker 6: they do. So not only are we giving back to
9:58
Speaker 6: the community, but we specifically pick brands that are feeding
10:03
Speaker 6: hungry children in the US, or are fighting human trafficking,
10:06
Speaker 6: or have a purpose behind what they're making very important.
10:11
Speaker 4: So, how has the twenty twenty four been for you?
10:13
Speaker 4: I mentioned COVID and we're hopefully, you know, getting out
10:15
Speaker 4: of this, but some some some constants, some folks are
10:18
Speaker 4: still struggling to kind of get out of that. How
10:21
Speaker 4: has this year been for you?
10:22
Speaker 6: Well, it was our first full year, so we're still learning.
10:26
Speaker 6: Bobby and I were just talking about that. We've really
10:28
Speaker 6: only almost been open for eighteen months, so we're still
10:31
Speaker 6: in that learning curve. Like I said, we shifted towards
10:34
Speaker 6: gift a lot because we were seeing a lot of
10:37
Speaker 6: people coming in asking for gifts, specifically in the evenings.
10:41
Speaker 6: So we are not losing our children's lines. We will
10:44
Speaker 6: continue with our amazing just unique toys, not things that
10:48
Speaker 6: are something that's going to break and you need to
10:50
Speaker 6: throw away different and unique educational toys.
10:53
Speaker 5: But we are always going to have a gift now
10:55
Speaker 5: for everybody.
10:56
Speaker 4: And there's a huge, huge market for that sort of
10:59
Speaker 4: thing now, Jessica, I mean for these unique gifts that
11:02
Speaker 4: you can't get necessarily anything else. And you mentioned things
11:05
Speaker 4: that are well made that aren't going to break right away.
11:08
Speaker 6: So we carry Linel trains, Traxis cars. But then we
11:12
Speaker 6: also carry Tenderleaf Is, the neatest line of wooden toys.
11:17
Speaker 5: They don't leave.
11:18
Speaker 6: Everything to the imagination, but just enough. And there are
11:20
Speaker 6: those things that you're going to stick up in your
11:22
Speaker 6: attic and pull back down for your grandkids.
11:24
Speaker 4: That's good stuff. That's good stuff right there. But Dave

17:53
Speaker 4: Because I'm trying to be trying to do a little
17:55
Speaker 4: radio show.
17:58
Speaker 5: Stuff we got so, Mayor I I want.
18:00
Speaker 4: You in to talk about some of the logistics of
18:03
Speaker 4: the parade because Charleston's the biggest city in the state
18:07
Speaker 4: of West Virginia. This is the probably the biggest parade,
18:10
Speaker 4: if not one of the two. Is it the biggest parade?
18:12
Speaker 4: How many entries do we have this year?
18:14
Speaker 11: Well, we have over one hundred and fifty one hundred
18:18
Speaker 11: and fifty, which you know when we start putting this
18:21
Speaker 11: together at evening when we took a chance and said, okay,
18:24
Speaker 11: we're going to make it from a daytime and evening.
18:26
Speaker 11: And let me explain that because a lot of folks say,
18:28
Speaker 11: why didn't you just put a daytime?
18:29
Speaker 3: I love to come. It was so fun.
18:32
Speaker 11: It is the second busiest day for our downtown businesses
18:37
Speaker 11: is a Christmas parade. Holly Jolly Browley obviously is one.
18:41
Speaker 11: And so a lot of our downtown businesses said, please
18:44
Speaker 11: don't because, by the way, a lot of us don't
18:47
Speaker 11: open our doors till ten. And if you're kicking off
18:49
Speaker 11: the parade, we wanted that hour. You know, if you
18:52
Speaker 11: want me to open at eight thirty, I guess I could.
18:54
Speaker 3: Amy.
18:55
Speaker 11: So it was not only the businesses, but I've been
18:58
Speaker 11: to so many evening per raids and that's where the
19:01
Speaker 11: excitement is, that's where the lights are. And this year
19:03
Speaker 11: Neon Wonderland like, bring your glove sticks, Dave, I should
19:06
Speaker 11: have brought him something.
19:07
Speaker 4: So you kind of teased that the last time you're
19:09
Speaker 4: on the show, But now it's out there, this is
19:11
Speaker 4: Neon Wonderland. What exactly does that mean?
19:13
Speaker 11: You get Neon Wonderland everyone. If you don't like it,
19:15
Speaker 11: blame Andrew Workman in the Mayor's office. If everybody likes it,
19:18
Speaker 11: blame Dave So. Neon Wonderland is when you think of Christmas,
19:24
Speaker 11: and I love, love, love love the old fashioned light bulbs,
19:28
Speaker 11: of the bulbs, the Christmas tree bumps which we had
19:30
Speaker 11: growing up on Christmas tree and now I don't think
19:32
Speaker 11: they sell them anymore because I think they burned down
19:34
Speaker 11: houses and stuff because they were the ceramic ones that
19:36
Speaker 11: used to get like really hot, but they had like
19:39
Speaker 11: a Neon shape to them. And so Andrew Workman from
19:42
Speaker 11: our office, who's always working on something, said, oh, this
19:47
Speaker 11: is really cool. They did it in another city, in
19:49
Speaker 11: another state. Maybe we tried Neon Wonderland.
19:51
Speaker 3: It was like, oh yeah, like those big bulbs, those.
19:53
Speaker 11: Great big lights. So it's Neon Wonderland. It's going to
19:56
Speaker 11: be great. I've been shared on my Facebook page this morning.
20:00
Speaker 11: A special guest, our director of Public Art Jeff Pearson
20:04
Speaker 11: does kind of a fun little you know, Macy's Day,
20:08
Speaker 11: kind of fun little puppet or something.
20:11
Speaker 3: This puppet ain't little this year.
20:13
Speaker 4: She big. No, Now you were I know you teased
20:16
Speaker 4: it as you said on your personal social.
20:17
Speaker 3: Media is like as big as my car.
20:20
Speaker 4: You just showed us, You just showed us a picture.
20:22
Speaker 11: This thing is going to be like she's enormous. You'll
20:24
Speaker 11: be able to see her coming from.
20:26
Speaker 4: Believing like she starts in Cistonville.
20:28
Speaker 3: It just kind you can see her. Maybe you can
20:31
Speaker 3: see her from Jupiter.
20:32
Speaker 11: But that and then we have a great Here I
20:36
Speaker 11: go with Andrew Workman again. Uh, we blame him. And
20:38
Speaker 11: what's your theme? Do you think of something for the
20:40
Speaker 11: mayor's office? Because we always like to participate because the
20:43
Speaker 11: kids want us to. And every time I see a kid,
20:45
Speaker 11: they say, what are you dressing up for their Christmas Pride?
20:47
Speaker 11: Or their second favorite question, what are you dressing up
20:49
Speaker 11: for Halloween?
20:50
Speaker 3: And now as a mayor, I never.
20:51
Speaker 11: Thought that I'd have to get a year's start and
20:53
Speaker 11: what my outfit is for these special events. But I'll
20:56
Speaker 11: give you a hint, Dave, And you and I are
20:58
Speaker 11: the same age. You're a snidge old, Yeah I am.
21:01
Speaker 11: But my mom my teacher. My parents were both teachers.
21:04
Speaker 11: My mom actually worked two jobs, my dad worked three jobs.
21:07
Speaker 11: And when we would go shopping or go to the mall,
21:08
Speaker 11: they would say, here's some quarters. Please leave us alone.
21:11
Speaker 11: We've got shopping to do because our mall was attached
21:14
Speaker 11: to our shop or a grocery store.
21:16
Speaker 3: This is a game that I used to play, and
21:18
Speaker 3: I was very good at it.
21:19
Speaker 4: Okay, that's eight and that's all we get to think of, Neon.
21:23
Speaker 3: But that's it. I don't want you no guesses, no guesses,
21:26
Speaker 3: that's it.
21:27
Speaker 4: I think I've got a pretty good at it. But
21:29
Speaker 4: I'm gonna keep my mouth that. I'm going to keep
21:30
Speaker 4: my mouth yet. I'm going to keep my mouth out
21:31
Speaker 4: of this.
21:32
Speaker 3: It's cute, So I want you hear the music. You'll know.
21:34
Speaker 4: Mayor, let's talk about the decision to move the parade.
21:36
Speaker 4: It was originally set for Thursday, December the fifth. Sure,
21:39
Speaker 4: we didn't have snow that night, but we did have
21:41
Speaker 4: brutally cold temperatures. So the decision was made to move
21:44
Speaker 4: the parade till tonight could be a little damp. I
21:47
Speaker 4: don't know what Brian Hughes and Spencer Adkins were saying
21:49
Speaker 4: at this point that maybe if we have rain it
21:52
Speaker 4: would be later. Possibly, I don't know.
21:54
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's not in the forecast right now, and you
21:57
Speaker 11: know it's well, it's west Virginia.
21:58
Speaker 3: I mean, so welcome to Appalachia that things can change
22:00
Speaker 3: in a minute.
22:01
Speaker 11: But honestly, here here it is. It's not that we
22:03
Speaker 11: don't care about the cold. Bobby and Jenny, We'll go
22:05
Speaker 11: out in the cold all day long. You don't want
22:08
Speaker 11: me putting a five year old in her nutcracker outfit
22:11
Speaker 11: and thin tights dancing in sub twelve degree weather.
22:15
Speaker 3: You don't want me to.
22:16
Speaker 4: And as I pointed out to you when we the
22:18
Speaker 4: decision was made, Mayor, you also have a lot of
22:20
Speaker 4: older folks that come out to the prey to cheer
22:22
Speaker 4: on the little five.
22:23
Speaker 3: Year old and.
22:25
Speaker 11: So you know, oh she just wants to you know,
22:28
Speaker 11: they're not tough enough. No, we can do it all
22:30
Speaker 11: day long. I'm not going to ask our schools, our bands,
22:33
Speaker 11: and our little guys.
22:34
Speaker 5: Who look forward to this every year.
22:37
Speaker 3: This is like their you know, Super Bowl.
22:40
Speaker 11: And so we worked with the schools, We worked with
22:42
Speaker 11: a lot of our groups, and they all said, first
22:44
Speaker 11: of all, they called us first, please change it. Please,
22:47
Speaker 11: please please, We're begging you. Hundreds, not just a couple,
22:50
Speaker 11: hundreds of the groups who were in it said please
22:53
Speaker 11: please change it. And so we did, and we worked
22:55
Speaker 11: with it. You know, it's nice to have a meteorologist
22:57
Speaker 11: on the line.
22:58
Speaker 3: I actually called it. I literally called Brian Heres and said,
23:00
Speaker 3: give me another date.
23:02
Speaker 11: Hear what the schools are saying, because you know, we
23:04
Speaker 11: want our big bands, you know, we want our Capital
23:07
Speaker 11: and Gida bands, we want our John Adams bands there.
23:10
Speaker 11: And so he gave us a couple of dates when
23:12
Speaker 11: we went with it. So it's tonight at seven o'clock,
23:14
Speaker 11: come downtown. It is going to be so fun. And
23:16
Speaker 11: what is so great is that last night when I
23:19
Speaker 11: was out and about after council watching the Marshall soccer game,
23:24
Speaker 11: a lot of parents who have college AA's kids said,
23:26
Speaker 11: Oh good, they're in town.
23:27
Speaker 3: We're all going down because you.
23:29
Speaker 11: Forget about the big kids, which Jessica Bachas was just
23:32
Speaker 11: on and the is said to her in the hallway, Well,
23:36
Speaker 11: first of all, thanks to Liberty Row for sponsoring the
23:40
Speaker 11: parade and being the sponsor.
23:42
Speaker 3: Have you ever gone to her shop?
23:43
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I love her shop so much.
23:45
Speaker 11: And all my boys are bigger than most of the
23:47
Speaker 11: trees downtown. I said to her, I wish there was
23:50
Speaker 11: something like you when my boys were little, because boys
23:52
Speaker 11: always get short shrift for the holidays, like you're dressing
23:55
Speaker 11: up and everybody's got great dresses and things. I'm like,
23:58
Speaker 11: I need a cool sweater for the for the boys
24:00
Speaker 11: when they.
24:00
Speaker 4: Were boys, get the clip on tie and hers for
24:02
Speaker 4: the best.
24:03
Speaker 11: But Jessica has me in her stuff at lerdi Row
24:06
Speaker 11: is just off the well. First of all, you won't
24:08
Speaker 11: find it. You won't find it anywhere else. That's number one.
24:12
Speaker 11: And number two. Of course, my boys now get dressed
24:14
Speaker 11: by Tony because they're you know, they're bigger than most,
24:17
Speaker 11: you know, industrial sized refrigerators, and so they have to be.
24:21
Speaker 11: But I go to shop now for toys because her
24:24
Speaker 11: toy stuff is up there is just unbelievable. So for
24:27
Speaker 11: Trent and TIFFs toy train drive, I went there because
24:29
Speaker 11: I don't have children and I do not.
24:31
Speaker 3: Want any grandchildren anytime soon. Everybody's got stuff, but that's
24:35
Speaker 3: the place to be.
24:36

25:09
Speaker 4: Spry here, who's going to be doing making her debut
25:11
Speaker 4: as a commentator.
25:12
Speaker 12: Well, first of all, it's gonna be easy for I
25:14
Speaker 12: know she's thinking, oh gosh, I'm nervous about this, but
25:18
Speaker 12: she will know all the groups, all the bands, everything,
25:22
Speaker 12: and just relax and have fun. Just relax and have fun.
25:26
Speaker 12: You're gonna be great. Just be yourself and make sure
25:28
Speaker 12: you don't cuss.
25:30
Speaker 4: Well, I was gonna say I could tell you one thing.
25:33
Speaker 4: Sharing an office with Bobby Spry, I can tell you
25:35
Speaker 4: she has no problem with relaxing. Not cussing could be
25:38
Speaker 4: a problem. I'm just saying.
25:40
Speaker 10: We joke about that. Radio people always joke about it.
25:44
Speaker 12: But It's just something you know is not gonna happen
25:47
Speaker 12: unless something really strange happens.
25:49
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's all good. Yeah, all right, So Bobby,
25:52
Speaker 4: what's the plan for the night? Get in there? What
25:54
Speaker 4: do you what's the plan?
25:56
Speaker 13: Well, I'm deciding if I'm gonna wear my Missus Claws outfit.
26:00
Speaker 11: Yes, but yeah, I actually her nails go with We're
26:04
Speaker 11: really both teams.
26:06
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, my stylist.
26:09
Speaker 13: But yeah, I am nervous about the cussing part.
26:14
Speaker 4: You'll be fine. So what are you gonna say? Are
26:17
Speaker 4: you gonna look at these little kids?
26:18
Speaker 13: Man? Look at that little black No, I can just
26:20
Speaker 13: see something happening, somebody falling, and you know when you go,
26:23
Speaker 13: oh crap, But ye say the other word like that
26:26
Speaker 13: would be.
26:27
Speaker 5: Very casual for me.
26:28
Speaker 3: I would the mother of boys said that a lot.
26:32
Speaker 4: Mayor what do people need to know about the logistics
26:36
Speaker 4: of this as far as coming into town, because I
26:38
Speaker 4: know I saw earlier I was looking around and certain
26:41
Speaker 4: streets are going to close early. I think I think
26:44
Speaker 4: the Canaw County Courthouse I saw was going to close
26:47
Speaker 4: at four I think today, or I think that's what
26:48
Speaker 4: it was. What do people from that aspect need to
26:51
Speaker 4: know people that are in town that are, like Jenny said,
26:54
Speaker 4: where to park, give us.
26:56
Speaker 11: Alow Bard from Greenboro Street to Clinton and Street will
26:59
Speaker 11: be you know, as soon as you can get out.
27:02
Speaker 11: Most people want to. But honestly, there are a lot
27:04
Speaker 11: of folks who say, I'm just staying. I mean because
27:07
Speaker 11: remember we've got the WVU Bowl game tonight as well,
27:10
Speaker 11: So a lot of people are just locking it in.
27:13
Speaker 11: A lot of folks who don't live or work downtown
27:15
Speaker 11: are just coming early, locking it in, getting supper, watching
27:19
Speaker 11: the prey, turning around and having drinks and watching the
27:21
Speaker 11: game tonight. Obviously, anywhere outside of that kind of capital
27:30
Speaker 11: Summer Street area which is where we go, but Ready
27:33
Speaker 11: City Center is the place you want to be for
27:36
Speaker 11: two reasons. Number one, if you haven't been down to
27:38
Speaker 11: see the one hundred and sixty six fully decorated Christmas trees,
27:43
Speaker 11: you need to come down. And by the way, windows too,
27:45
Speaker 11: we have amazing, amazing businesses that decorated their windows as well.
27:51
Speaker 11: But the Summer Street parking ridge, there's going to be
27:53
Speaker 11: no entry and no exit. That's the biggie that I
27:56
Speaker 11: want to let folks know because that's where most folks
27:59
Speaker 11: have gotten stuck in the past. But any side outside
28:02
Speaker 11: of that circle, and there are plenty of plenty, plenty
28:05
Speaker 11: places to part from Dickinson to over at them all
28:11
Speaker 11: and gosh, you as there's you're not going to believe this.
28:15
Speaker 11: There are twenty seven two hundred and five parking spaces
28:18
Speaker 11: in downtown Charleston.
28:20
Speaker 4: Was it your job to count all of them?
28:21
Speaker 11: Well, many years ago somebody said to me, there's no parking,
28:25
Speaker 11: and so I called our parking director and.
28:26
Speaker 3: I said, how many parking spaces we have?
28:28
Speaker 9: No?
28:28
Speaker 11: This closed the garages and stuff, and they are in
28:29
Speaker 11: public Parkay, so there's over twenty seven thousand, So there
28:32
Speaker 11: is a place to park. But keep in mind the
28:35
Speaker 11: closer you get to the middle of the circle of
28:37
Speaker 11: the parade, remember we're going to have plural thousands and
28:42
Speaker 11: thousands of people because it's a place to be to night.
28:44
Speaker 11: Place to be is in Charleston. So if you need
28:47
Speaker 11: to kind of get out early because you got littles
28:49
Speaker 11: and they've got to get to bed at a certain time,
28:51
Speaker 11: you want to park, you know, park be the fairly yeah,
28:54
Speaker 11: fairly farther away. But if you're staying downtown with your friends,
28:57
Speaker 11: like my husband and our children are and then you know,
28:59
Speaker 11: so who care? Actually I'm making booth good when walking
29:02
Speaker 11: with me? All right, and I say walk loosely, we run.
29:06
Speaker 13: And question about the parade route. I believe last year
29:10
Speaker 13: it went all the way down to Washington, right, But
29:13
Speaker 13: is it because of the construction that they've bumped it
29:16
Speaker 13: back to Lee.
29:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, just a little bit. And so.
29:20
Speaker 11: Yeah, so we'll be going on Lee. It's a little different,
29:23
Speaker 11: and honestly, I think that's good. I think that's good.
29:26
Speaker 11: It's like a party. Everybody wants to be in your kitchen.
29:28
Speaker 11: My living room is much bigger than my kitchen, but
29:30
Speaker 11: everybody wants to be there. Everybody will want to be
29:33
Speaker 11: lining Capital, lining summers. Kind of the bits of ends
29:36
Speaker 11: of Courier and Lee corners are great if you're in
29:40
Speaker 11: a corner position. Those are always the great if you
29:43
Speaker 11: have littles, because that's also where I have been known
29:45
Speaker 11: to dump buckets of candy on kids having small buckets.
29:49
Speaker 4: I do want to mention you mentioned this Mayor before
29:51
Speaker 4: we let you go, that people are that the businesses
29:54
Speaker 4: are going to be open, So go to any of
29:56
Speaker 4: our fine downtown restaurants, grab yourself. So we are we
29:59
Speaker 4: are or one of our stations, our sister station ninety
30:02
Speaker 4: six one KWS is going to be sitting up a
30:04
Speaker 4: bar one oh one, Rob Real, our warning guy, is
30:07
Speaker 4: going to be doing a live broadcast from six to
30:08
Speaker 4: eight down there, and then stick around and watch the
30:10
Speaker 4: bowl game after at bar one on one. I know
30:12
Speaker 4: the Josh Pantry is going to be playing afterwards. We'll
30:15
Speaker 4: have the Bowl game on and all of these places
30:17
Speaker 4: we're going to matter. Actually a text to the show,
30:19
Speaker 4: somebody asked about the Mountaineer pregame coverage begins at six.
30:23
Speaker 4: I am. If I am incorrect, somebody that's smarter than
30:26
Speaker 4: I can correct me. I think we are going to
30:28
Speaker 4: start our coverage on Charleston's ESPN Radio, and then we
30:33
Speaker 4: will have the bowl game here from the from the
30:35
Speaker 4: Bowl Network, So we will actually have the Bowl game.
30:37
Speaker 4: But I think our pregame coverage that we do, I
30:40
Speaker 4: think is going to start on Charleston's ESPN Radio because
30:43
Speaker 4: we'll have parade coverage here. I think. Now, if I'm
30:46
Speaker 4: wrong about that, somebody can correct me. But I think
30:48
Speaker 4: that is the case. But we will have the Bowl
30:50
Speaker 4: game here.
30:50
Speaker 11: In Restaurants open earlier, staying open late. Lots of specials
30:53
Speaker 11: going on as well. I've heard, and actually I had
30:56
Speaker 11: supper at Bar one on one last night, I had
30:58
Speaker 11: sushe it was delicious.
31:00
Speaker 4: Sleep on the wings at Bar one or one. I mean,
31:02
Speaker 4: like everybody always talking about the burgers, and the burgers
31:04

35:04
Speaker 4: the courthouse is going to close at four today, so
35:07
Speaker 4: probably officially six o'clock because the parade starts at seven,

36:09
Speaker 4: Insurance Studios and the dal Miller Building in Morgantown. He
36:11
Speaker 4: served as chief Deputy of Kadawa County Sheriff's Department. This
36:14
Speaker 4: past election season, the voters of Conawa County voted to
36:17
Speaker 4: make him their new sheriff. Technically now the title is
36:20
Speaker 4: Sheriff Elect. He's Joe Crawford. He joins us this morning. Joe,
36:23
Speaker 4: good morning, welcome to the show. Thank you, David, appreciate
36:25
Speaker 4: your iff for having me. Well, so let me start
36:27
Speaker 4: with the obvious question. You've been in along. How many
36:29
Speaker 4: years have you been in law enforcement? Thirty eight total,
36:31
Speaker 4: thirty eight years. So why at this point did you
36:34
Speaker 4: say I want to be sheriff?
36:35
Speaker 17: Well, it was, you know, it was something that really
36:40
Speaker 17: was never on the radar. I mean some you know,
36:42
Speaker 17: sometimes you'd have those conversations, but I think at the
36:45
Speaker 17: end of the day, what came down to it. I
36:47
Speaker 17: knew that sheriff Rustlers couldn't you know, he was turned
36:50
Speaker 17: out and couldn't run again. So we started kicking around
36:52
Speaker 17: the idea and I met with a family and the
36:55
Speaker 17: people in my circle and said, hey, is this a
36:58
Speaker 17: go or not?
36:59
Speaker 4: And that's that's very important that you bring that up
37:01
Speaker 4: because when you are a law person like that, the
37:05
Speaker 4: whole family just got deputized pretty much. Try all those
37:09
Speaker 4: around you absolutely, you know, and that's there.
37:11
Speaker 17: You know, they see all the late night phone calls
37:15
Speaker 17: and you know, getting woke up two three o'clock in
37:17
Speaker 17: the morning when when things happened.
37:18
Speaker 4: So you know, it was a family decision.
37:21
Speaker 8: You know.
37:21
Speaker 17: My family has been so supportive to Dave. I can't
37:24
Speaker 17: begin to really tell people how how much I really
37:28
Speaker 17: appreciate them. Sometimes they get left out and overlooked, not intentionally.
37:33
Speaker 17: There's so many people to think, you know, there's so
37:36
Speaker 17: many supporters people, you know, out on the campaign trail.
37:38
Speaker 17: You're out there talking to people every day, and uh,
37:42
Speaker 17: the response was great. Obviously, I'm very humbled, uh to
37:46
Speaker 17: be able to be in this position this at this
37:49
Speaker 17: point in my career as of winding down. That's what
37:52
Speaker 17: I want to say, is I'm winding down. So you know,
37:57
Speaker 17: I was asked in an interview previously, you know what,
38:00
Speaker 17: if you had one word really to describe it, then
38:02
Speaker 17: I said, pride.
38:04
Speaker 4: Pride in Kadon County. Yeah, in your long form, why
38:07
Speaker 4: did you want to be a law enforcement officer to
38:09
Speaker 4: begin with? Back in the day? I mean, what made
38:11
Speaker 4: you as a kid or a teenager whenever you decide
38:13
Speaker 4: to go into this to say, that's what I want
38:15
Speaker 4: to do.
38:16
Speaker 17: As a kid, Dave, That's what we always talked about,
38:20
Speaker 17: you know, playing cops and robbers. But the thing is,
38:23
Speaker 17: I've been around it my whole life. My father is
38:25
Speaker 17: first generation. He passed away in nineteen ninety eight. He
38:28
Speaker 17: was the chief of South Charleston Police Departments, the hometown
38:31
Speaker 17: I was born and raised in and grew up in.
38:35
Speaker 17: And I was fortunate enough. I was only one of
38:37
Speaker 17: five children, six children. I got a half brother that
38:41
Speaker 17: followed up in my dad's footsteps. So I became second generation.
38:44
Speaker 17: And now my son, Adam, he's third generation. He's with
38:49
Speaker 17: the Sheriff's office now, and it's hard to believe. I
38:50
Speaker 17: think he's been there almost seventeen sixteen years, so we
38:54
Speaker 17: got three generations and we're proud of that. I mean,
38:57
Speaker 17: at the end of the day, I think it's a
38:58
Speaker 17: job that over the last several years, have the dynamics
39:03
Speaker 17: have changed, sure, and I think, uh that's up to
39:06
Speaker 17: us to be able to carry on the tradition. Uh,
39:10
Speaker 17: you know, carry on the values, you know, hold us
39:12
Speaker 17: to a higher standard. So you know, with all these
39:15
Speaker 17: things coming into it, I've been around my whole life
39:18
Speaker 17: and it's been very rewarding. I can't say enough how uh,
39:23
Speaker 17: like I said, humble I am to be in this position.
39:25
Speaker 4: I don't think people realize sometimes what a vast area
39:28
Speaker 4: of Canaan County is and either are some similar issues,
39:33
Speaker 4: but uh, you know, what's going on in Cabin Creek
39:35
Speaker 4: may not be the same thing that's going on in
39:37
Speaker 4: Tornado or in Saint Albans or whatever. It's a it's
39:39
Speaker 4: a big old it's a big old county. Sheriff.
39:41
Speaker 17: Sheriff elect nine hundred eleven square miles. How do you
39:44
Speaker 17: think about that?
39:45
Speaker 4: Yeah?
39:45
Speaker 8: Nine.
39:46
Speaker 17: Now there are larger counties, but the population is not there.
39:49
Speaker 17: So by virtue, we're the largest sheriff's office in the
39:52
Speaker 17: state and nine hundred eleven square miles from the head
39:57
Speaker 17: of Cabin Creek to the west side of Saint Auburns
40:01
Speaker 17: And and what I've found out during the campaign trail
40:04
Speaker 17: day is that, yeah, it is different, you please, different
40:07
Speaker 17: than you in some of those areas of the county.
40:10
Speaker 17: And it's it is different from municipal law enforcement. So
40:16
Speaker 17: that was that was a great learning experience for me,
40:20
Speaker 17: learning that part of it uh in a rural setting
40:23
Speaker 17: out out sometimes in the outer lying areas of Kanaw County.
40:27
Speaker 4: And of course the big scourge for law enforcement has
40:31
Speaker 4: been for some time. The only thing that changes is
40:33
Speaker 4: the drug of choice. It is drugs. For years it
40:36
Speaker 4: was it was pain pills, and then it became this
40:39
Speaker 4: and that. Now fentanyl seems to be such a big
40:41
Speaker 4: thing or math or whatever the case is. Are we
40:45
Speaker 4: making any sort of headway in this whatsoever? And obviously
40:48
Speaker 4: the majority of any law enforcement officers or agencies time
40:53
Speaker 4: is going to be spent somehow battling drugs because even
40:57
Speaker 4: the thefts and things like that, ninety nine point nine
41:00
Speaker 4: of the time, as you well know, go back to
41:02
Speaker 4: drug use. Talk about that absolutely.
41:04
Speaker 17: You know, I worked undercover early in my career for
41:07
Speaker 17: about eight years. It's probably the best time, most rewarding
41:11
Speaker 17: time that I had as a law enforcement officer. We
41:13
Speaker 17: did a lot of great things. I was with the
41:16
Speaker 17: Metro Drug Unit, had great people, great leaders around me,
41:20
Speaker 17: Terry Sayer, and we caught the old Crew. Matter of fact,
41:24
Speaker 17: this last week we met, he came into town. We
41:27
Speaker 17: got a bunch of old guys together and went out
41:28
Speaker 17: and had dinner. But you know, the war on drugs
41:31
Speaker 17: will never go away, Dave. I think that's something we
41:33
Speaker 17: will continue to fight long after I'm gone. I think
41:38
Speaker 17: we're in a good position. We're in a good posture
41:40
Speaker 17: right now. Our partnerships with the city, county, and state.
41:45
Speaker 17: I've never seen the level of cooperation as I have.
41:48
Speaker 17: Most recently. We had a lot of big cases we
41:50
Speaker 17: were part of, and I say we, I say the
41:52
Speaker 17: Kenwawk County Sheriff's Office and M Dent. You know, we
41:56
Speaker 17: took off the largest seizure in state history here with
42:01
Speaker 17: Operation Smoking Mirrors. We played a part in that. Our
42:04
Speaker 17: people were involved in that. So to say, like I said,
42:11
Speaker 17: it's going to be a fight that we continue to fight.
42:13
Speaker 17: It's not going to go away.
42:14
Speaker 4: We know that.
42:15
Speaker 17: I think we have positioned ourselves with our partners to
42:18
Speaker 17: be able to continue to fight and do some great
42:21
Speaker 17: things and continue to work big cases like that that
42:24
Speaker 17: affect you know, the influx of basically heroin, meth and fentanyl.
42:30
Speaker 17: They are lacing marijuana now with fentanyl. So and with fentanyl.
42:36
Speaker 4: I mean again, I'm not an expert in this situation,
42:38
Speaker 4: but just from talking to folks like yourself, you know
42:41
Speaker 4: they've got this campaign going for the kids now saying
42:43
Speaker 4: one pill can kill people don't realize. And I've had
42:46
Speaker 4: those in law enforcement that have told me that we've
42:50
Speaker 4: never seen anything like this, and all drugs are bad,
42:54
Speaker 4: we get it, but when literally the first time can
42:58
Speaker 4: can kill you, it's been I can to crack back
43:02
Speaker 4: in the if you remember the crack days of the
43:03
Speaker 4: nineteen eighties, that's what's one of but fin noise about
43:06
Speaker 4: a thousand times more dangerous.
43:07
Speaker 17: Talk about that, absolutely, I mean uh, And and the
43:11
Speaker 17: bad part about it is they think it's harmless. They think, well,
43:14
Speaker 17: it's just it's just a little bit of this or that,
43:16
Speaker 17: But they don't know where it came from. You know,
43:18
Speaker 17: we know it originated from probably from outside the country.
43:22
Speaker 17: How many hands does it change before it gets to
43:24
Speaker 17: the user? And you know, we we do. We do
43:28
Speaker 17: a great job because we focus on both aspects of that.
43:31
Speaker 17: And I think this is worth a discussion maybe down
43:33
Speaker 17: a road later on. But we want to help the
43:36
Speaker 17: people that want to be helped, but we want to
43:38
Speaker 17: prosecute and put the people in jail that that doesn't
43:40
Speaker 17: want to be helped. Did that want to come out
43:42
Speaker 17: here and try to poison you know, our people? Uh
43:45
Speaker 17: So there's a fine line there. I think we want
43:48
Speaker 17: to posture ourselves to be to be able to help
43:51
Speaker 17: people that want to help, But the same token, we
43:53
Speaker 17: still got to fight the fight and keep doing what
43:56
Speaker 17: we're doing to take those dangerous drugs off the street.
43:59
Speaker 4: Before we let you go. We hitd a text here
44:01
Speaker 4: someone wanted to know, are you going to do one
44:03
Speaker 4: term or have you thought about that yet? You haven't officially,
44:05
Speaker 4: Eve Nim. You know, the paint's not drawing the door yet,
44:07
Speaker 4: So I guess have you thought about doing a next
44:09
Speaker 4: term or are you just gonna take it like one
44:11
Speaker 4: term at a time.
44:12
Speaker 17: I guess I think you know, we look at it.
44:15
Speaker 17: Me being in this position is chief Deputy for three years.
44:17
Speaker 17: I think it was a transition. Wise, it couldn't have
44:20
Speaker 17: worked out been any better for us because one thing
44:24
Speaker 17: that did come up, you know here in the last
44:27
Speaker 17: couple of months, is we had eight or nine retirements.
44:29
Speaker 4: Some of them were the senior staff.
44:31
Speaker 17: So that's what we've kind of been in house looking
44:33
Speaker 17: at and filling those positions in house the last couple
44:36
Speaker 17: of months with the you know, consulting Sheriff Rutherford and
44:39
Speaker 17: the senior staff and what goes into making those selections
44:43
Speaker 17: to fill those slots.
44:44
Speaker 4: So that that has been helpful.
44:46
Speaker 17: For me being able to come from within and see
44:49
Speaker 17: that and hit the ground run in day one.
44:51
Speaker 4: All right, we have a text here too, so is
44:52
Speaker 4: please tell mister Crawford congratulations and good luck. If he
44:55
Speaker 4: needs a posse, the good guys in Pinch will help you.
44:58
Speaker 4: According to a Texter, give me about thirty seconds over
45:01
Speaker 4: time here, but about thirty seconds. What are we going
45:03
Speaker 4: to do to get more people to want to go
45:04
Speaker 4: into law enforcement? Because it's a problem everywhere.
45:07
Speaker 17: David, that's a great, great point to end on it.
45:10
Speaker 17: Our biggest challenge is recruiting and retention, and it's just
45:13
Speaker 17: not here locally it's reasonable, it's statewide, it's a national problem.
45:19
Speaker 17: So we got to, you know, we got to put
45:21
Speaker 17: our efforts and thoughts into how we can recruit and
45:24
Speaker 17: retain people. Obviously, pay and equipment and training, all those
45:28
Speaker 17: things come into play. So those are some of the
45:31
Speaker 17: things that we'll be looking at to continue moving the
45:34
Speaker 17: department forward with technology. And you know, we got to
45:37
Speaker 17: take care of our men and women out there. They're
45:38
Speaker 17: out there every day and they do a great job.
45:40
Speaker 17: We're so proud of the men and women of the
45:42
Speaker 17: Sheriff's off.
45:43
Speaker 4: We did have one other text, with all fairness and
45:45
Speaker 4: I promise I'll let you go, it said, a higher
45:47
Speaker 4: standard for police is a good thing in this regard.
45:49
Speaker 4: Will Sheriff Crawford make disciplinary records and accessive force complaints
45:52
Speaker 4: accessible to the public and a searchable online database with
45:56
Speaker 4: appropriate privacy safeguards. Is that something that you've looked at yet.
45:59
Speaker 8: Yeah.
46:00
Speaker 4: We have the body cameras.
46:01
Speaker 17: I mean, I think that takes out a lot of
46:03
Speaker 17: the guessing, you know, but the cameras don't lie. And
46:07
Speaker 17: that was one of the things we wanted to the
46:10
Speaker 17: initiatives that we started under this past administration was the
46:13
Speaker 17: body cameras that that will help. That puts to bet
46:16
Speaker 17: a lot of the frivolous complaints. And obviously my track record,
46:21
Speaker 17: you go back and look my track record from Saint
46:23
Speaker 17: Albans to hear when people do wrong and things they're
46:28
Speaker 17: not held to that standard. We hold them to that
46:29
Speaker 17: standard and we take appropriate action. So within the confines
46:33
Speaker 17: of Chapter seven, which civil service, that's what we fall under.
46:38
Speaker 4: We will continue to do that. That's not gonna change.
46:40
Speaker 17: And we do set to bar high and our expectations
46:43
Speaker 17: and standards are high.
46:44
Speaker 4: Cheerflect Joe Crawford. I appreciate you being here man. Thanks
46:47
