4:04
Speaker 6: w c HS network facebook pages. Also Dave Allen on
4:07
Speaker 6: X tell us about Malcolm.
4:10
Speaker 7: So, Malcolm originally came to ksey h a as astray.
4:13
Speaker 7: He was very sick and it turns out that he
4:15
Speaker 7: had parvo. He has beat parvo. He is now available
4:20
Speaker 7: for ad option and stronger than ever. He's great with
4:23
Speaker 7: other dogs. He loves to go to play groups and
4:25
Speaker 7: play Obviously, he's a three month old puppy, so he's
4:28
Speaker 7: gonna have a zest for life that puppies as. He's
4:32
Speaker 7: great with kids and I'm sure he would be no
4:35
Speaker 7: problem to introduce to Katz. One thing about Malcolm, definitely
4:39
Speaker 7: check out his picture. He is so unique looking. He
4:43
Speaker 7: has blue freckles all over his face and then red
4:46
Speaker 7: freckles all over the rest of his body. So very
4:48
Speaker 7: interesting looking dog.
4:50
Speaker 5: I mean when you.
4:51
Speaker 6: Sent me that picture last night and I was taking
4:54
Speaker 6: a look at. I thought, well, you're right. Unique is
4:56
Speaker 6: an interesting way to describe young Malcolm. I mean, what
5:00
Speaker 6: kind of dog is he? I mean, do you have
5:02
Speaker 6: any idea and are those are? Is the freckling very
5:06
Speaker 6: prevalent in Dulston.
5:07
Speaker 5: I haven't seen a lot of that.
5:09
Speaker 7: So the freckling happens in certain breeds. Certain hounds can
5:12
Speaker 7: have that, Certain like healer cattle dog mixes can have
5:16
Speaker 7: that as well as like certain some pointers can also
5:20
Speaker 7: have the freckling pattern. So I would guess that he
5:22
Speaker 7: is probably a healer mix just by the way that
5:25
Speaker 7: coke pattern looks, but mixed with what is a nice
5:29
Speaker 7: big question mark.
5:31
Speaker 5: Well, he is a great, great looking dog.
5:34
Speaker 6: I mean, he really really is. And we'll talk about
5:36
Speaker 6: him a little bit later on. His name is Malcolm,
5:38
Speaker 6: and again his pictures posted on my social media pages.
5:41
Speaker 5: I want to talk about the.
5:42
Speaker 6: Because we've had several We always have good stories from
5:45
Speaker 6: the shelter, Angie, but we always have some that are
5:47
Speaker 6: a little sad too. It's been a rough week at
5:49
Speaker 6: the shelter.
5:51
Speaker 7: Yeah, it absolutely has. So we have been hit back
5:56
Speaker 7: to back to back with animals coming and we've seen
6:00
Speaker 7: an uptick in illness of animals that are coming in
6:04
Speaker 7: which we are happy to be able to help, extremely
6:06
Speaker 7: happy to be able to offer a space and safe
6:09
Speaker 7: space for these animals. But with that comes medicine, it
6:14
Speaker 7: comes food, comes our staff that have to spend you know,
6:18
Speaker 7: eight to ten hours a day taking care of these animals.
6:22
Speaker 7: So right now we are definitely in the need of
6:24
Speaker 7: donations or if you are able to foster and or
6:28
Speaker 7: adopt some of these cases that we are taking on,
6:32
Speaker 7: that's also something that can help greatly. But it has
6:35
Speaker 7: definitely been a very busy and rough week to be
6:40
Speaker 7: at Caseyha.
6:41
Speaker 6: Now did we have and I saw this just in passing.
6:44
Speaker 6: I apologize I don't have all the details in front
6:46
Speaker 6: of me, but did we have another case where there
6:49
Speaker 6: were some kiddies abandoned somewhere that you guys him a possession.
6:53
Speaker 7: Of yesterday while our staff were in the building, which
6:57
Speaker 7: is kind of like the frustrating part, if you will,
7:00
Speaker 7: our staff were there, twenty cats were left in our
7:03
Speaker 7: parking lot while our staff members were running play groups
7:07
Speaker 7: with the adult dogs and getting things started for the morning.
7:11
Speaker 7: So twenty cats were just left in the parking lot.
7:14
Speaker 7: If you are in a situation like that, we especially
7:17
Speaker 7: if we are in the building, please come talk to us.
7:20
Speaker 7: If we can't take the animals right away, we can
7:21
Speaker 7: at least give you supplies to care for them. But yeah,
7:25
Speaker 7: leaving the animals in a parking lot, we don't have
7:27
Speaker 7: one hundred percent history on where they're from, what medicines
7:31
Speaker 7: and vaccines they've had, you know, who gets along with who,
7:35
Speaker 7: anything like that. So that's that's the difficult part about it.
7:39
Speaker 7: And again we will offer resources if it's a matter
7:42
Speaker 7: of you know, we can't take them right now, but
7:44
Speaker 7: here's how we can help in the meantime.
7:46
Speaker 6: I mean, we appreciate people wanting to do the right thing,
7:48
Speaker 6: but I mean, you know, come on, if you're there
7:51
Speaker 6: and it's doing business hours, knock on the door, you know,
7:54
Speaker 6: don't don't just drop them off. Knock on the door,
7:56
Speaker 6: no questions ask I mean, you may ask the questions
7:58
Speaker 6: about like where did they come from? Do you know
7:59
Speaker 6: that been vaccinated? But I mean, I'm sorry, I got
8:03
Speaker 6: a real.
8:03
Speaker 5: Issue with that. I'm sorry, you know, I mean, especially
8:06
Speaker 5: if you're there.
8:07
Speaker 8: You know.
8:08
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's the that's the tough part, is I mean, again,
8:10
Speaker 7: we were in the building, so you know, come in,
8:13
Speaker 7: talk to us. Don't be afraid to talk to us.
8:16
Speaker 7: We you know, we've promised to handle things gently. And
8:20
Speaker 7: again I do appreciate and have respect for you know,
8:23
Speaker 7: trying to get your animals help, but leaving them in
8:25
Speaker 7: the parking lot there. I've seen it, tom and Tommy
8:28
Speaker 7: Inn where animals break out of the carriers that they're
8:30
Speaker 7: in and then now they're on a busy road or
8:33
Speaker 7: they're in the woods, exposed to a lot of animals.
8:36
Speaker 7: I've seen animals that you know, people have hit on
8:39
Speaker 7: the property and we haven't gotten to them in a
8:42
Speaker 7: timely manner, like we haven't been able to see them
8:44
Speaker 7: or find them. And yesterday was a really hot day.
8:47
Speaker 7: So if you're hiding them, then it's they're exposed to
8:50
Speaker 7: the elements. It's just a lot of things can happen
8:52
Speaker 7: when people.
8:53
Speaker 6: Do that, all right, So I had the text here
8:55
Speaker 6: for you said that a litter of kittens dumped out
8:57
Speaker 6: on the Nitro Saint Alban's Bridge on Wednesday.
9:00
Speaker 5: Were they not brought to the shelter.
9:03
Speaker 7: I don't recall that, but what I can do is
9:06
Speaker 7: double check anything that came in on Wednesday, and you know,
9:09
Speaker 7: see if they made it or not that I'm not
9:11
Speaker 7: I don't recall that.
9:12
Speaker 5: On Wednesday, tell us about the kitty.
9:14
Speaker 6: You have one posted on your social media that had
9:17
Speaker 6: to have both of her eyes removed.
9:20
Speaker 7: So that is something that falls under the category of
9:22
Speaker 7: we've had a lot of very serious illnesses come into
9:26
Speaker 7: the building recently. And do you know the name of
9:31
Speaker 7: the one in specific that you're talking about that has
9:34
Speaker 7: happened a lot.
9:34
Speaker 6: Yeah, there was just there was a I don't have
9:36
Speaker 6: it in front of me right now, but there was
9:37
Speaker 6: a posted this week. There was a picture of a
9:40
Speaker 6: kitten that had to have its eyes removed or again
9:42
Speaker 6: I had to have its eyes removed. It's on your
9:44
Speaker 6: Facebook page. I'm sorry, I didn't mean you can't you
9:46
Speaker 6: buy surprise.
9:47
Speaker 9: On that book?
9:47
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's posted on the facebook page. Maybe we can
9:49
Speaker 6: get an update on that particular kitten.
9:51
Speaker 7: Yeah, next Yeah, if it's the one I'm thinking about
9:54
Speaker 7: that that would be a result of a system so
9:57
Speaker 7: the year up a respiratory infection where the eyes, you know,
10:02
Speaker 7: they are not treated in time, which you know, depending
10:05
Speaker 7: on how fast and how quickly they get to us,
10:08
Speaker 7: they will sometimes crust shut to Harper.
10:12
Speaker 6: Harper Yeah, that's exactly the one. Yeah, one of one
10:16
Speaker 6: hundred and twenty five animals at the shelter receiving various
10:19
Speaker 6: kinds of medical treatment, and Harper is the one and
10:23
Speaker 6: it and the poor thing had to.
10:24
Speaker 5: Have its eyes removed. But hopefully, I mean could make
10:29
Speaker 5: someone a good pet, you know.
10:30
Speaker 7: Absolutely Yep. Having a blind animal is I mean, it's
10:35
Speaker 7: not much different than having one that can see. There
10:37
Speaker 7: are a couple of things you have to do, so
10:39
Speaker 7: you absolutely make a wonderful pet for somebody out there.
10:41
Speaker 5: Yeah, you guys out about anywhere.
10:43
Speaker 7: This weekend, we're staying home this weekend. We're finishing wrapping
10:48
Speaker 7: up the Empty the Shelters adoption special, so we're going
10:52
Speaker 7: to be doing that at kh Yeah.
10:54
Speaker 6: And that's and I don't know whether you brought that
10:56
Speaker 6: up or not, but Malcolm, our dog this week, our
10:58
Speaker 6: pet of the week, is part of that of the
11:02
Speaker 6: Empty of the Shelter thing with bissels.
11:03
Speaker 5: So he's only five bucks, right, yep.
11:06
Speaker 7: Any kennel dog, which is what Malcolm falls under, is
11:09
Speaker 7: going to be five dollars to it all. But some
11:12
Speaker 7: very generous console came in and sponsored the next ten
11:16
Speaker 7: adult dogs that get adopted so you don't even have
11:18
Speaker 7: to pay anything for anywhere to go.
11:20
Speaker 6: I shared that on my personal page because I always do,
11:24
Speaker 6: and a friend of mine from Logan texted or not texted,
11:29
Speaker 6: but actually posted on my post on my personal page
11:32
Speaker 6: and said that he bet it was a sibling of
11:35
Speaker 6: an animal that he and his family just adopted. He said,
11:38
Speaker 6: we just adopted one that looked like that from the shelter,
11:40
Speaker 6: like a week or two ago.
11:41
Speaker 5: And he said, I bet that's a sibling. I don't
11:43
Speaker 5: know that for a fact, but they looked a lot alike.
11:45
Speaker 6: They probably are all right, Kegs for Canines tell us
11:50
Speaker 6: about that.
11:51
Speaker 7: Kegs for Canines. The early bird tickets are alive, so
11:54
Speaker 7: get those while you can. They will not last forever.
11:57
Speaker 7: It is coming up at the end of August at

Speaker 7: the Red Carpet Lounge. We're very excited for that, again,
12:03

12:05

14:09
Speaker 10: You may think speeding a little isn't really speeding, but
14:12
Speaker 10: even a few miles over the limit has consequences. First,
14:16
Speaker 10: there's the fine. Your first offense could cost you one
14:19
Speaker 10: hundred dollars plus court costs, and you'll pay a lot
14:22
Speaker 10: more if it's your second or third offense. Eventually you
14:24
Speaker 10: can lose your license or even go to jail, and
14:27
Speaker 10: those are minor consequences. Speeding causes ten thousand deaths each year.
14:32
Speaker 10: So next time you think a few miles over isn't
14:34
Speaker 10: a big deal, think again. This message is brought to
14:37
Speaker 10: you by the West Virginia Governor's Highway Safety Program.
14:40
Speaker 11: Hey, this is Bobby Spraut, and last year we purchased

Speaker 11: During the inspection of our old unit, their technician discovered
14:49
Speaker 11: a crack in the heat exchanger that was slowly leaking
14:51
Speaker 11: carbon monoxide into our home. From that moment on, we
14:54
Speaker 11: knew we chose the best, the best technicians, and the
14:58

Speaker 6: Virginia Association Affairs and Festivals because they're out there as well.
18:11
Speaker 6: Yesterday we just when we were talking about it on
18:14
Speaker 6: the air, we had people saying, what do I make
18:18
Speaker 6: a check to? A big shout out to Harvey Peyton
18:21
Speaker 6: Peyton Law Firm, who kind of got it started. Several
18:23
Speaker 6: others have come forward as well, and I don't know
18:25
Speaker 6: whether they actually want to be announced or not, so
18:28
Speaker 6: I won't say the rest of them without their permission.
18:30
Speaker 6: But bottom line is West Virginia coming through Steve and
18:33
Speaker 6: doing what West Virginia's doing that's helping out absolutely.
18:35
Speaker 14: I was out there a little while ago too, and
18:37
Speaker 14: it's amazing the support. I actually got some pictures from
18:43
Speaker 14: my wife. She sent me the byside we go up there.
18:46
Speaker 14: She actually graduated from Buchanan High Oh wow. So we've
18:51
Speaker 14: been up for the Strawberry Festival and it's amazing. Unfortunately,
18:54
Speaker 14: like the by side by Centennial Hotel. It's got water
18:58
Speaker 14: right up all the way up. Yeah, and I love
19:01
Speaker 14: that the Lounge of the eighty eight. It's a great
19:04
Speaker 14: place to hang out. And so those folks definitely need
19:07
Speaker 14: our help and we can do some good for the neighborhood.
19:09
Speaker 13: So you know what, some of the people who've already
19:11
Speaker 13: been donating have been previous flood victims themselves, and that
19:16
Speaker 13: that's what is Kathy hess who is love Kathy? I
19:21
Speaker 13: love Kathy, Secretary Warner's right hand lady.
19:23
Speaker 6: For both Secretary Warners. Yes, exactly, the old one.
19:27
Speaker 13: Then yeah, she said, you know, she she told a
19:30
Speaker 13: story about her when she was younger and her son
19:33
Speaker 13: was ten, and that called her.
19:36
Speaker 5: Daddy said what are we going to do?
19:38
Speaker 13: And he goes, you got to go up on the
19:39
Speaker 13: hill and get unstopped the culvert or it's going to
19:42
Speaker 13: take everything, wash it all way.
19:44
Speaker 5: We won't have nothing.
19:45
Speaker 13: And she went up there and she did it, and
19:47
Speaker 13: she talked about being in flood victims.
19:49
Speaker 14: I mean, when you see the sun national news across
19:51
Speaker 14: the country. I've had people reaching out to me, you know,
19:54
Speaker 14: just you know, checking, hey, were you affected by this?
19:57
Speaker 14: I said, fortunately not. However, unfortunately thousands of people have
20:01
Speaker 14: been So.
20:02
Speaker 6: As we speak, we've got a news nation here in
20:04
Speaker 6: the studio and this is video from yesterday of Governor
20:06
Speaker 6: Morrisey at the of course yesterday Brian, as you all know,
20:10
Speaker 6: we got confirmation that the two people had perished. We
20:14
Speaker 6: initially the reports were is that we didn't know of
20:17
Speaker 6: anybody that died in this, but that's there's still there's
20:20
Speaker 6: still several unaccounted for, so we just we just don't know.
20:26
Speaker 6: And I do want to mention programming know Jeff Jenkins
20:28
Speaker 6: is actually heading up there now and we're going to
20:30
Speaker 6: be checking in with Jeff later today on Talkline the
20:33
Speaker 6: Wilson Meadow as well, but also on Metro News midday
20:35
Speaker 6: as well.
20:35
Speaker 5: All right, so what are we looking for here? Here's
20:37
Speaker 5: what we need.
20:38
Speaker 6: Bottled water and gatorade, non perishable ready to eat foods,
20:43
Speaker 6: toilet paper, paper, towels, cleaning supplies, clorox, wifes, extension cords
20:48
Speaker 6: and fans, air mattresses, trash bags the regular ones or
20:52
Speaker 6: the heavy duty or even better, mops, buckets and brooms, shovels, rakes,
20:58
Speaker 6: anything that you can clean up with work gloves, rubber
21:01
Speaker 6: boots and n ninety five masks, and those masks Brian
21:04
Speaker 6: As you know, you're they say meteorologist or you're kind
21:06
Speaker 6: of like scientists trying.
21:07
Speaker 5: To yeah, pretty much.
21:08
Speaker 15: Sometimes something like that will explain why those masks are important,
21:12
Speaker 15: because because right now, as you've got all that silt
21:15
Speaker 15: that's that's in these houses, all this what's mud will
21:19
Speaker 15: dry up and then it is completely it's it's contaminated.
21:22
Speaker 13: And so once it becomes airborne and once it dries
21:25
Speaker 13: up becomes dust, you're breathing in contamination, significant amounts of it.
21:30
Speaker 6: And last year, I know that when we had some
21:32
Speaker 6: of the flooding that was going on in well various
21:34
Speaker 6: places last year, there are a lot of people get
21:36
Speaker 6: that got sick from the clean up. You look and
21:39
Speaker 6: and and and tetanus where Angie Settle from Health Right
21:42
Speaker 6: was on this show on After News Midday with This
21:43
Speaker 6: yesterday talking about the need for tetanus shots and things
21:46
Speaker 6: like that.
21:46
Speaker 13: Well, and you need won every five years to make
21:49
Speaker 13: sure you're you're good to go. Uh and and you
21:52
Speaker 13: almost need a preventative tetnis shot. You know, you can
21:55
Speaker 13: get one afterwards, but it's better have preventive because the
21:57
Speaker 13: sickness is going to be incredible.
21:58
Speaker 14: Especially if you're eating around me. But the one thing though,
22:04
Speaker 14: you know, like when you see the floodwaters, it's brown.
22:06
Speaker 14: It's brown for a reason, so you know, keep that
22:09
Speaker 14: in mind. That's yeah, you know that water is dirty.
22:12
Speaker 13: And even and and the thing is even though we
22:14
Speaker 13: have we have some of the cleanest rivers around. The
22:16
Speaker 13: reason surprised some people like there's not a clean river.
22:19
Speaker 16: Now.
22:20
Speaker 13: We have some very clean rivers up in these these parts,
22:23
Speaker 13: but when when it floods, it takes everything with it.
22:26
Speaker 5: It all gets mixed together.
22:28
Speaker 13: Yeah, oil, diesel, there's gasoline, there's.
22:32
Speaker 14: System and it rises and it gets into the water.
22:35
Speaker 6: So yeah, but ave voland shilling five Eddieline is brought
22:37
Speaker 6: to you a part by Morgan to Morgan, America's largest
22:39
Speaker 6: injury law firm, and we have a run in now
22:42
Speaker 6: from Dale Cooper.
22:42
Speaker 5: How you doing, man, I'm little okay.
22:45
Speaker 17: I was a little late because we got three straight
22:47
Speaker 17: huge drop offs just as I was coming in. So
22:50
Speaker 17: we had a bunch of folks coming by that heard
22:52
Speaker 17: you on the radio and also you, I believe on
22:54
Speaker 17: the radio.
22:55
Speaker 5: Wait a minute, this was on the radio.
22:56
Speaker 16: Hey what do you know?
22:57
Speaker 7: Right?
22:57
Speaker 17: But they were they literally had heard about right before
23:00
Speaker 17: the show started, went and grabbed some stuff and dropped
23:03
Speaker 17: by here. Just a little bit ago. We had a
23:05
Speaker 17: whole truck full of boxed up supplies, pre boxed up supplies.
23:09
Speaker 17: We just got maybe I don't know fifty mops and
23:11
Speaker 17: brooms that somebody bought and Balkin dropped off. Huge donations
23:16
Speaker 17: coming from people. And what do we expect from our community.
23:18
Speaker 5: Right best listeners in the world, the question question, thank you?
23:22
Speaker 5: Uh and uh.
23:23
Speaker 6: And the folks that Triton are going to be Trenton Rophie.
23:25
Speaker 6: They're going to be helping us out to get those
23:27
Speaker 6: items there.
23:27
Speaker 13: And Trent and Roufs has been has been on site
23:30
Speaker 13: up there in Buchanan and uh, they were the you know,
23:32
Speaker 13: they've been in the midst of things. They actually uh
23:34
Speaker 13: unfortunately the two people that they uh that did perish,
23:38
Speaker 13: they were they were there as they were as they
23:40
Speaker 13: were being cut out of the car essentially. And so
23:43
Speaker 13: they they've been their first hand already and have seen
23:45
Speaker 13: the the literally the death and destruction and uh they're
23:49
Speaker 13: changed people uh after this and uh and but they
23:52
Speaker 13: want to help, that's why they're here. They're happy to
23:55
Speaker 13: help out and they're going to be driving everything up
23:57
Speaker 13: along with the Red Cross. You know, we're working to
23:59
Speaker 13: make this happened. Bleach cleaning supplies, everything you can possibly do,
24:03
Speaker 13: rubber gloves, things that nature.
24:04
Speaker 6: We need all of the pet food and pet supplies.
24:06
Speaker 6: On Friday, you know, we do our segment or not
24:08
Speaker 6: be please spend up the week and I want to
24:10
Speaker 6: make sure people realize that they need pet food.
24:13
Speaker 17: Yeah, and that's something else. We just got a bunch
24:15
Speaker 17: of We got maybe six bags of dog food and
24:19
Speaker 17: six palettes of cat foods, so we got quite a
24:21
Speaker 17: bit of it out there. And I'm not sure if
24:23
Speaker 17: you guys addressed this or not, but we did have
24:24
Speaker 17: a few folks asking questions about how deployment was going
24:27
Speaker 17: to work, how the supplies were going to get there
24:28
Speaker 17: and stuff. We're working with locals in the community up there,
24:32
Speaker 17: so we're going to be delivering straight to folks that
24:34
Speaker 17: are working with the locals to get these supplies distributed.
24:37
Speaker 5: So don't worry. It's not going through several different steps
24:39
Speaker 5: before against there.
24:40
Speaker 17: It's basically going to leave straight from here and we're
24:42
Speaker 17: going to take it to the folks that.
24:43
Speaker 6: And they've got the staging area set up now. They
24:45
Speaker 6: got it yesterday I think Brian at West Virginia Wesleyan.
24:47
Speaker 6: So that's where things are going to go to.
24:49
Speaker 13: And that's the thing Wesley is making sure that everything's
24:51
Speaker 13: divvied up and putting the proper spots. I mean you
24:53
Speaker 13: have everything from feminine hygiene products that are needed to
24:57
Speaker 13: to you know, baby formula to diapers, I mean all
25:00
Speaker 13: the all the basic stuff. If there is any type
25:03
Speaker 13: of clothing, socks or socks are very important.
25:06
Speaker 5: You use brand new socks.
25:07
Speaker 13: We don't need anything use, uh, but brand new socks
25:09
Speaker 13: are important because first of all, when you're in that
25:11
Speaker 13: water and it's getting you're getting into your shoes and
25:14
Speaker 13: stuff things.
25:14
Speaker 5: You know, you gotta change clothes, clothes all the time.
25:17
Speaker 13: So uh, And that's why cash is important because what
25:20
Speaker 13: happens is you have the Red Cross in the different
25:23
Speaker 13: organizations that know, these folks need clothing. We're gonna go
25:26
Speaker 13: get them taken care of. They need stuff that's fits,
25:29
Speaker 13: it's proper. They don't need to use stuff. And that's
25:31
Speaker 13: why that's why the cash helps out.
25:32
Speaker 6: And you can write checks if you want to do
25:34
Speaker 6: that to the American Red Cross and put it just
25:36
Speaker 6: put in that memo line you can put in West
25:38
Speaker 6: Virginia flood relief. You want to give us the green
25:40
Speaker 6: stuff out here too. I mean that's perfect. That's perfect
25:42
Speaker 6: time flashlights and batteries too. That's something I don't think
25:45
Speaker 6: that we'd mentioned earlier because there's still a lot of
25:47
Speaker 6: people up there that don't have power.
25:49
Speaker 14: It won't have power for a long time.
25:50
Speaker 17: Somebody also brought several bags of disposable rags. That's the
25:53
Speaker 17: first time I'd seen that, And that's a really good
25:55
Speaker 17: one too, because they're a little bit more robust than
25:57
Speaker 17: the paper towels. You can reuse and bring them out
25:59
Speaker 17: and then you could throw them away afterwards. Those are
26:00
Speaker 17: very useful as well.
26:01
Speaker 6: And I will say, we don't, you know, encourage you
26:04
Speaker 6: to go to any particular store, but I will say
26:06
Speaker 6: that last night my wife and I went out to dinner,
26:08
Speaker 6: and we were out at Valley Park last night for
26:10
Speaker 6: the night market out there, and we stopped by.
26:12
Speaker 5: In our neighborhood. We have one of the uh one.
26:15
Speaker 6: Of the dollar general grocery store type places at the
26:17
Speaker 6: DJ marketplace. They have a dollar They have an aisle
26:21
Speaker 6: of nothing but things that are a dollar and there
26:23
Speaker 6: were a lot of cleaning supplies in those right there,
26:26
Speaker 6: Things like the smaller containers bleach. Smaller containers will make
26:29
Speaker 6: bigger containers bleach.
26:30
Speaker 5: So if you want to.
26:30
Speaker 6: Hit up that place, you want to hit up all
26:33
Speaker 6: the big lots.
26:34
Speaker 5: Target we go. We don't care where you go, just.
26:37
Speaker 13: Go right well, and don don is incredibly important because
26:41
Speaker 13: at first of all, it cuts through grease, grease and
26:44
Speaker 13: oil and everything else, so that that helps significantly. And
26:46
Speaker 13: and there, and mind you, there are a number of
26:48
Speaker 13: animals that also need to be cleaned off as well,
26:50
Speaker 13: and they're using don for some of them as well.
26:52
Speaker 6: So I saw a picture of a friend of mine
26:54
Speaker 6: lives up there, and he sent me a picture last.
26:56
Speaker 5: Night of this.
26:59
Speaker 6: You just can't imagine what it is until you. I've
27:03
Speaker 6: interviewed man Aman, and I have interviewed several people over
27:06
Speaker 6: the last couple of days. But one of my buddies
27:07
Speaker 6: actually lives in Buchanon. And not that any one item
27:12
Speaker 6: is more important than anything else, but I'm a car guy,
27:15
Speaker 6: and this guy had a collection of Jaguars and they
27:17
Speaker 6: weren't all expensive. I mean, there's a lot of them
27:19
Speaker 6: were cars. He was working on all just laid out
27:22
Speaker 6: there on the street last night, A Buchanan.
27:24
Speaker 13: I mean, the Kenaw County Sheriff's Apartment sent an entire
27:28
Speaker 13: team up there to help out the uptur County Sheriff's Department,
27:31
Speaker 13: and they've been working there, and one of my best
27:34
Speaker 13: friends is on that team.
27:36
Speaker 5: And he said, you can't imagine the destruction. He said.
27:39
Speaker 13: He said, in town intown, the water came up and
27:43
Speaker 13: it's a mess. He says, water's gone back down, he said.
27:45
Speaker 13: But out in the county, things are gone.
27:47
Speaker 5: He said. Houses are gone, roads are gone, Bridges are gone.
27:50
Speaker 5: He said, it's really and it wasn't.
27:52
Speaker 6: Really until yesterday Brian and guys that they could get
27:55
Speaker 6: into some of those areas. So you don't know how
27:58
Speaker 6: gone it is until you get up there, because we're
28:00
Speaker 6: talking about I mean, but Cannon is a nice little
28:02
Speaker 6: West Virginia city, but a lot of these rural areas
28:04
Speaker 6: that are outside of town you couldn't even access, So
28:07
Speaker 6: you don't even know what the damage is until you
28:09
Speaker 6: get in there.
28:10
Speaker 17: I just think back to twenty sixteen, and my mom
28:12
Speaker 17: lives in Beaumont, so I saw a lot of the
28:14
Speaker 17: destruction out there. What we broadcast from out there as
28:16
Speaker 17: well at the FEMA location in Clinton, and but also
28:19
Speaker 17: my mom lives in Beaumont, so I was out there
28:21
Speaker 17: a lot, and even today, but especially up until maybe
28:25
Speaker 17: a year or two ago, when you were driving out there,
28:27
Speaker 17: you could see the water line still when the surviving
28:29
Speaker 17: structures are out there, and it was feet above the ground.
28:31
Speaker 17: And just imagine what all those communities had to go
28:34
Speaker 17: through to get all of that water out to get
28:35
Speaker 17: these structures relivable again. And it took some of those
28:37
Speaker 17: places years and years and years to get to that point.
28:40
Speaker 17: And I just feel for the people in these communities
28:42
Speaker 17: that's starting at ground zero in this it's a long journey.
28:45
Speaker 16: They need our help.
28:46
Speaker 6: We had a texta at a reminder of what happened
28:47
Speaker 6: after the twenty sixteen flood. Do we know if there'll
28:49
Speaker 6: be anyone up there this weekend cooking for these people?
28:52
Speaker 6: I know that people came together and made hot dogs
28:54
Speaker 6: and hamburgers back then. I can tell you that every
28:56
Speaker 6: Friday on midday we do a lunch Bot segment, and
28:58
Speaker 6: that's what we are going to do. You're going to
29:00
Speaker 6: feature one of those places that is cooking for people.
29:02
Speaker 6: It may be somebody's grandma in her backyard.
29:04
Speaker 5: We don't care.
29:05
Speaker 6: They don't have to have a license as far as
29:06
Speaker 6: we're concerned, as long as they're fit, long as they're
29:08
Speaker 6: feeding people.
29:09
Speaker 14: Absolutely, And I don't think people understand been in a
29:12
Speaker 14: flood before, years and years ago, and the water comes
29:15
Speaker 14: up quickly, like and suddenly you're thinking, you know, it's like,
29:19
Speaker 14: oh what your mind is not really thinking that.
29:23
Speaker 5: What's going on?
29:24
Speaker 14: Like suddenly you've got a photo water and then suddenly
29:28
Speaker 14: there's two feet of water and you're seeing all your stuff. Well,
29:30
Speaker 14: I need to get that, you know, it's floating. I
29:33
Speaker 14: need to get out. You know, you don't know where
29:34
Speaker 14: to go where.
29:36
Speaker 6: And that's one of the great things in talking with
29:38
Speaker 6: Angie Settle of Health Right yesterday because she brought up
29:40
Speaker 6: a very good point. When these with floodwaters come up,
29:42
Speaker 6: people get their kids, they get you know, maybe a
29:45
Speaker 6: photo album or two, their Bible, they get, they get
29:48
Speaker 6: their pets.
29:48
Speaker 5: But they don't think about the medication.
29:50
Speaker 6: And there are some people that having that daily medication
29:54
Speaker 6: is their lifeblood literally. And so the folks at Health
29:57
Speaker 6: Right here and Charleston are working with people up there.
30:00
Speaker 6: Similar agencies up there to try to get much needed medication.
30:03
Speaker 6: We're talking about anti seizure medications. We're talking about I
30:06
Speaker 6: think heart medications that people have to have to survive
30:10
Speaker 6: day to day. So contact the folks at health right
30:12
Speaker 6: here in Charleston if you'd like to, because they could
30:14
Speaker 6: probably take donations as well.
30:16
Speaker 5: I mean as well.
30:17
Speaker 6: All right, we're out on our parking lot. We will
30:19
Speaker 6: be throughout the day till six o'clock tonight. And I
30:22
Speaker 6: just grabbed a few bodies brought you guys in here.

30:27
Speaker 6: through with us no matter what we've asked. We really
30:30
Speaker 6: need you guys to help this time, and we don't
30:31
Speaker 6: give If you bring us a gallon of bleach, will
30:34
Speaker 6: take it.
30:34
Speaker 5: If we bring us a palette of bleach, will take it.
30:38
Speaker 17: We literally had a guy right before I came in
30:39
Speaker 17: that he walked down the street. He brought one box
30:42
Speaker 17: of contractor backs. Great, we need him. That's perfect, right, yeah.

Speaker 14: Yeah, whatever, even if you're in your car and you

34:52
Speaker 6: Yeah, and all those areas up there, you just can't Again,

35:12
Speaker 6: him and he's like, Dave, this is this is bad.
35:15
Speaker 5: Yeah, bad.
35:15
Speaker 21: And I've reached out to Robbie and we sent several
35:19
Speaker 21: Kanaw County deputies up, yeah, a few days ago to
35:22
Speaker 21: help out. And I'll let Robbie know that everybody in
35:24
Speaker 21: Kanaw County's behind them anything they need.
35:27
Speaker 6: And and you know there's but Cannon, there's Weston, and
35:30
Speaker 6: then we kind of forget. I was talking to Stephen
35:32
Speaker 6: Allen Adams yesterday that in the area around Saint Mary's
35:35
Speaker 6: and some of the and crossed in the border over
35:36
Speaker 6: in Ohio, those folks got tornadoes there and and it's
35:40
Speaker 6: you know, you can there's a lot of damage there
35:42
Speaker 6: as well, So we don't want to forget about.
35:43
Speaker 5: Those people as well.
35:44
Speaker 21: Yeah, it's it's uh, it's fairly widespread over there. So
35:48
Speaker 21: we're we're we're trying to help as many people as
35:51
Speaker 21: we can. But I appreciate you guys doing the flood drive. Yeah,
35:54
Speaker 21: getting the supplies up to them, that's you know, very important.
35:57
Speaker 5: Well, I mean we have.
35:58
Speaker 6: The idea, but it's the listeners that come up with
36:00
Speaker 6: this stuff. It's listeners and people like you and Harvey
36:02
Speaker 6: Payton and Jay Goldman hooked us up with some money yesterday,
36:07
Speaker 6: So appreciate all that. All right, So, last night, County
36:10
Speaker 6: commission meaning you and Commissioner Natalie Tennant, could not come
36:13
Speaker 6: to an agreement on the replacement for Lance Wheeler.
36:16
Speaker 5: And of course you know Lance Wheeler's story.
36:17
Speaker 6: He's resigned the remainder of his tenure to head up
36:21
Speaker 6: the Ambulance Service Authority. Your comment, Well, so Commissioner Tenant
36:27
Speaker 6: and I met, and I wasn't sure how the vote
36:29
Speaker 6: would go last night. I wasn't sure if she would
36:33
Speaker 6: vote for Jared or not. But you know, when I
36:36
Speaker 6: was looking at the applicants and we had a lot
36:38
Speaker 6: of qualified folks, you know, I think six or seven submitted.
36:40
Speaker 6: There were five that were qualified legally qualified to.
36:46
Speaker 5: Serve.
36:47
Speaker 21: And you go through the applications and the resumes and
36:52
Speaker 21: the letters of recommendation. In fact, Jared Page had I
36:57
Speaker 21: think last night I said twenty two. It was actually
36:59
Speaker 21: twenty three letters recommendation from mayors and US senators and
37:05
Speaker 21: law enforcement and firefighters and the other apples didn't have
37:09
Speaker 21: a single letter of recommendation. So you know, I thought
37:12
Speaker 21: it was pretty clear the Republican voters had spoken in
37:16
Speaker 21: the primary. They elected Jared Page as they've selected him
37:19
Speaker 21: as the Republican nominee. The Republican Executive Committee, the County
37:24
Speaker 21: Executive Committee sent us a letter indicating they wanted Jared appointed.
37:27
Speaker 21: The State Republican Party sent a letter indicating they wanted
37:32
Speaker 21: Jared appointed. And Treasurer Larry Pack sent a letter. You know,
37:37
Speaker 21: Shelley Moore Capital sent a letter. I mean, there were
37:39
Speaker 21: lots and lots of support for Jared, So that's why
37:42
Speaker 21: I made the motion. And Jared was the only candidate
37:45
Speaker 21: of the five that had any government experience whatsoever. Jared,
37:48
Speaker 21: of course is vice mayor of Saint Albans, he was
37:51
Speaker 21: municipal judge, he's on city council, so he has a
37:54
Speaker 21: lot of government experience. I know that he's worked with
37:57
Speaker 21: the legislature a lot, So it was to me it
38:01
Speaker 21: was a pretty clear choice. Now, I've yet to find
38:05
Speaker 21: a person in the world that agrees with me one
38:07
Speaker 21: hundred percent of the time. You know, my wife and
38:09
Speaker 21: I have been married twenty five years and we're in
38:11
Speaker 21: an agreement like seventy five percent at.
38:13
Speaker 5: The time, pretty high for most married couple.
38:15
Speaker 21: And for the twenty five percent that we're not in agreement.
38:18
Speaker 21: You know, she will tell you that I'm always wrong,
38:20
Speaker 21: so you know that's it's not unusual for people to
38:23
Speaker 21: have disagreements. I mean, and I'm saying we're disagreeing. We
38:28
Speaker 21: just did not agree on that particular issue. But you know,
38:30
Speaker 21: Commissioner Tenant and I agree on most of the issues, thankfully,
38:34
Speaker 21: and we're going to have to agree over the next
38:35
Speaker 21: thirty days because we do not have a third commissioner.
38:40
Speaker 21: So my hope is when we come back. We've asked
38:42
Speaker 21: the Republican Executive Committee to send us three names.
38:46
Speaker 6: And again it has to be a Republican and has
38:48
Speaker 6: to be from that district.
38:49
Speaker 5: Yes, districts three or four. Yeah, that's the way this works.
38:52
Speaker 21: So Republican districts three or four, and they have to
38:56
Speaker 21: have been registered as a Republican for at least a year.
38:59
Speaker 21: So she can't go which your party registration and move
39:02
Speaker 21: to District three or four and expect to get the appointment,
39:05
Speaker 21: because it's not going to happen. But the way that
39:08
Speaker 21: that works is then they will send us three names
39:11
Speaker 21: by August fifteenth. We have a meeting on August twenty seventh.
39:16
Speaker 21: We're going to allow each of the three candidates to
39:20
Speaker 21: speak for two to three.
39:21
Speaker 6: Minutes, basically saying why they're the Yeah, field of the
39:25
Speaker 6: best gamp Yeah.
39:26
Speaker 21: And then we will because we may not know, We
39:29
Speaker 21: may not know any of the three people that they submit.
39:32
Speaker 21: It could be it could be anyone, So as long
39:34
Speaker 21: as they're qualified, it could be. They don't even have
39:36
Speaker 21: to submit resumes or anything, just just a name. So
39:40
Speaker 21: I want to be able to at least know their background.
39:42
Speaker 21: And hopefully we'll know all three, but perhaps we won't,
39:44
Speaker 21: and then we will. We'll do public strikes. You know,
39:47
Speaker 21: the way that the statute is now worded, the one
39:51
Speaker 21: who has the most tenure on the commission has to
39:53
Speaker 21: strike first and then and that's me, and then Commissioner
39:57
Speaker 21: Tenant will strike second, and whoever's left is your next
40:01
Speaker 21: Canawa County Commissioner.
40:02
Speaker 5: Were you surprised that you and Commissionert Tenant could not
40:06
Speaker 5: agree on this or I was?
40:12
Speaker 21: No, I wasn't surprised, but I will tell you that
40:15
Speaker 21: I understand why she did what she did. Of course,
40:19
Speaker 21: she applied for the vacancy back in twenty twenty four
40:21
Speaker 21: when Commissioner Carper resigned abruptly and she wasn't selected. Now,
40:27
Speaker 21: I've come on this show before, and I came on
40:29
Speaker 21: this show back in May of twenty four, and I
40:32
Speaker 21: will say it again. I supported her. I wanted her
40:35
Speaker 21: to be the Democratic appointment. She was the nominee. It
40:40
Speaker 21: was obvious to me. She had eight years as Secretary
40:43
Speaker 21: of State, tons of governmental experience. She was to me
40:47
Speaker 21: a very qualified candidate, and also she was selected by
40:51
Speaker 21: the Democratic voter. So I have been very consistent.
40:54
Speaker 5: Now.
40:55
Speaker 21: What happened then was we couldn't reach an agreement and
40:58
Speaker 21: what I did differently by back in twenty four that
41:01
Speaker 21: I'm not doing now, and quite frankly, I probably should
41:03
Speaker 21: have done this in twenty four too. But you know,
41:05
Speaker 21: the Commission had been through a lot that you know,
41:07
Speaker 21: we were under tons of scrutiny. We were getting served
41:11
Speaker 21: with subpoenas from the US Department of Justice, and you know,
41:16
Speaker 21: the staff was rattled. So we needed some calm at
41:19
Speaker 21: the Commission and that calm was Mark Slotnik. So Commissioner
41:24
Speaker 21: Wheeler and I agreed that if we're not going to
41:26
Speaker 21: agree on Natalie, that we could agree on Mark Slotnik
41:29
Speaker 21: and Mark Slotnik was an excellent, excellent choice to get
41:32
Speaker 21: through the interim. In fact, you know, back in twenty
41:35
Speaker 21: seventeen when I applied, Mark Slotnink also applied then, and
41:40
Speaker 21: you know several there were like fourteen people, thirteen people
41:43
Speaker 21: that applied, and the commission picked me Hoppy in Kent
41:47
Speaker 21: and Mark even you know, he tried to apply back then.
41:50
Speaker 21: But Mark has been with the County Commission forever and
41:53
Speaker 21: that's why we selected him. And it was it was
41:55
Speaker 21: a good, steady choice, and it was good for the staff.
41:59
Speaker 21: You know, as difficult as that period was on the commissioners,
42:04
Speaker 21: it was more difficult on the staff because it was
42:06
Speaker 21: just so uncertain. So that's why I did what I
42:09
Speaker 21: did back in twenty twenty four. Now you fast forward
42:12
Speaker 21: then Chuck Miller, wonderful attorney, our prosecuting attorney. He was
42:17
Speaker 21: actually served as US attorney for a long time. He
42:20
Speaker 21: decided to retire. Essentially the same situation. We had a
42:25
Speaker 21: Republican nominee, which was Deb Rusnick. She had just won
42:28
Speaker 21: that election. She was going up into the general against
42:33
Speaker 21: the Democratic nominee, and we unanimously selected Deb. So to me,
42:38
Speaker 21: I thought we at least I have been very consistent
42:41
Speaker 21: on who should get that appointment if there's a vacancy
42:44
Speaker 21: after And I'll say this because Lord only knows what
42:46
Speaker 21: will happen in twenty eight or thirty or thirty two
42:48
Speaker 21: or whatever. If there's a vacancy after an election, I
42:53
Speaker 21: think he should go to the nominee. That's just my thought,
42:57
Speaker 21: and not to mention, Jared was by far the most
43:01
Speaker 21: qualified of the folks that had submitted applications last night.
43:04
Speaker 21: And I want to point out that you are a Democrat.
43:06
Speaker 21: I'm a Democrat, and Jared Page is a Republican, So
43:09
Speaker 21: this is not really a partisan that you and Natalie
43:10
Speaker 21: Tennant's both. To me, it's not partisan. I do not
43:13
Speaker 21: think the County Commission should be a partisan body. It
43:17
Speaker 21: can be sometimes, but typically it's not. I don't care
43:20
Speaker 21: if it doesn't matter to me if it's a Republican idea,
43:24
Speaker 21: Democratic nominee nominee. I only care if it's a good idea,
43:27
Speaker 21: and I want to make sure that we're moving forward.
43:29
Speaker 21: So unfortunately, we had a small setback last night, but
43:33
Speaker 21: we'll see what happens on August twenty seven. The good
43:37
Speaker 21: news is the voters get to decide who they want
43:41
Speaker 21: their next commissioner to be.
43:42
Speaker 5: In November.
43:43
Speaker 21: You know, we have two Jared Pages run on the
43:45
Speaker 21: Republican side.
43:46
Speaker 5: And he won the primary. He won them. He does
43:49
Speaker 5: have opposition to the general.
43:50
Speaker 21: He does Paul Monroe, you know, great guy.
43:52
Speaker 5: I know Paul.
43:54
Speaker 21: But the voters get a decide. And so I understand
43:57
Speaker 21: that perhaps there was a concern about giving Jared an
44:01
Speaker 21: unfair advantage in the general. Perhaps that was, you know,
44:04
Speaker 21: one concern. But as I point out last time I
44:07
Speaker 21: was on the show, it's not an advantage. In fact,
44:10
Speaker 21: I think the majority of people who receive appointments lose
44:14
Speaker 21: the next election.
44:15
Speaker 6: Okay, and I gonna take a break, but I want
44:17
Speaker 6: you to follow up on that point. And we sat

46:23
Speaker 10: even a few miles over the limit has consequences. First,
46:27
Speaker 10: there's the fine. Your first defense could cost you one
46:30
Speaker 10: hundred dollars plus court costs, and you'll pay a lot
46:33
Speaker 10: more if it's your second or third offense. Eventually you
46:36
Speaker 10: can lose your license or even go to jail, and
46:39
Speaker 10: those are minor consequences. Speeding causes ten thousand deaths each year.

47:40
Speaker 6: you're part of a dying breed of Democrat. Now with
47:43
Speaker 6: the radicals quickly taken over, you sound more independent. Actually
47:45
Speaker 6: I'm a former Democrat myself. Papa text, Well.
47:50
Speaker 21: I think there are radicals on both sides and I
47:52
Speaker 21: think that the fifteen percent on each side is what
47:56
Speaker 21: folks pay attention to, and then there's the seventy percent
47:59
Speaker 21: of all the rest with right and we're just kind
48:01
Speaker 21: of we just want to do the right thing. We
48:03
Speaker 21: wanted to just move move forward, do the right thing
48:06
Speaker 21: and have no issues, but unfortunately we get I think
48:10
Speaker 21: a lot of things are sidetracked. And by the side
48:13
Speaker 21: shows it happens.
48:15
Speaker 6: And by the way, I do want to say I
48:16
Speaker 6: have commissioned President Selango on the show.
48:19
Speaker 17: Now.
48:20
Speaker 6: Commissioner Tenant has been on the show. I mean she
48:21
Speaker 6: guest hosted for me at one point anytime. Yeah, while
48:25
Speaker 6: I was on vacation, she guest hosted for me one day.
48:28
Speaker 6: But she's more than welcome to come on the show
48:30
Speaker 6: at any times. Natalie, if you're just reach out, you're
48:32
Speaker 6: more than welcome to come on the show anytime. Do
48:33
Speaker 6: you want you want as well? I just actually had
48:36
Speaker 6: you already scheduled today anyway, So are you hopeful because
48:40
Speaker 6: between now, how many meetings do you have between now
48:42
Speaker 6: and that one?
48:43
Speaker 5: Just once?
48:43
Speaker 21: We have one in early August and then one on
48:45
Speaker 21: August twenty seventh. I was thinking about if we could
48:48
Speaker 21: do it in the first meeting in August, but there's
48:52
Speaker 21: a statute that we have to follow, so we have
48:54
Speaker 21: to give the Executive Committee enough time to meet or
48:57
Speaker 21: if their chair is gonna pick it, that's up to them.
49:00
Speaker 21: Their bylaws, they get to select the names. And then
49:03
Speaker 21: I didn't think we'd have enough time to do that
49:05
Speaker 21: in time for our August sixth meeting, So we've asked
49:08
Speaker 21: them to submit the names by August fifteenth, and those
49:10
Speaker 21: will be public. You know, we'll turn over the uh,
49:13
Speaker 21: we'll make sure that we publish the letter that they
49:15
Speaker 21: send us with the names on it, and then we
49:17
Speaker 21: will come out on August twenty seventh and do our strikes. Now,
49:21
Speaker 21: that doesn't mean that, first of all, doesn't mean Jared's
49:24
Speaker 21: gonna beile a list right right, Yeah, I presume he will,
49:27
Speaker 21: since I got a letter from the Republican Executive Committee
49:30
Speaker 21: asking us to appoint him. But it could be could
49:33
Speaker 21: be three other names or there. You know, even if
49:36
Speaker 21: Jared's on the list, maybe he is not stricken and
49:40
Speaker 21: he serves or maybe shoot, maybe I have a change.
49:43
Speaker 5: Who knows. I mean, anything can happen between now and then.
49:45
Speaker 5: But now obviously you're not allowed to.
49:48
Speaker 6: I mean I would think you can't because well you
49:51
Speaker 6: number one, You and Natalie Tenant both Democrats, so a
49:53
Speaker 6: lot of like you would be contacting the Republican and saying, hey,
49:56
Speaker 6: we want this person of that person. I mean, I mean,
49:58
Speaker 6: I guess you could talk to Republicans all I know,
50:00
Speaker 6: I understand.
50:01
Speaker 5: I'm just saying.
50:02
Speaker 6: I'm just saying, but there's not going to be You're
50:03
Speaker 6: just gonna have to play the waiting.
50:05
Speaker 21: This is their decision. They get to pick it, and
50:08
Speaker 21: I'm not going to try to influence it. They get
50:10
Speaker 21: to send me whoever in Natalie, whoever they want to send,
50:13
Speaker 21: and it'll be three names, and I'm not going to
50:15
Speaker 21: interfere with that process. To me, the Republican voters spoke
50:19
Speaker 21: in the primary in Kannall County. They said who they want,
50:24
Speaker 21: and I assume that Jared will be in Lewis, but
50:25
Speaker 21: it doesn't mean he will be and they can send
50:27
Speaker 21: us whoever they want.
50:28
Speaker 5: All right, one of them will be a commissioner.
50:29
Speaker 6: All right for a while anyway, and we'll see what
50:32
Speaker 6: happens after that. There was all right, Ken County Commission
