Speaker 1: Good morning and happy Friday. From the WTAW Newsroom, I'm
0:06
Speaker 1: Will Welch. A Brazos County grand jury handed down two
0:11
Speaker 1: indictments for the man who struck and killed a bicyclist
0:13
Speaker 1: in July. 31-year-old Charles Medina struck and killed local boxer
0:18
Speaker 1: Hannah Rapp as she rode along FM 159 on July 18th.
0:22
Speaker 1: After passing the couple, Medina backed up and sped towards
0:24
Speaker 1: Rapp and her fiancé. Medina was initially charged with only manslaughter.
0:29
Speaker 1: The DA's office later added a charge of aggravated assault
0:32
Speaker 1: with a deadly weapon for reversing towards the couple. Medina
0:35
Speaker 1: will now be tried for murder and aggravated assault with
0:38
Speaker 1: a deadly weapon. Newly released numbers show big changes in
0:41
Speaker 1: Texas public schools. More students are being identified as special
0:45
Speaker 1: needs than ever before. That's according to Education Commissioner Mike Marath.
0:49
Speaker 1: who said the number of kids receiving specialized services is significant.
0:53
Speaker 2: Nearly 17% of all students enrolled in public education are
0:57
Speaker 2: receiving individualized education programs.
0:59
Speaker 1: There is also a rise in the number of kids
1:01
Speaker 1: identified as on the autism spectrum. That mirrors a national trend.
1:06
Speaker 1: The Secretary of War says the execution of the man
1:08
Speaker 1: who killed 13 people at Fort Hood will be public.
1:12
Speaker 3: Nadal Hassan opened fire at the military base in Killeen
1:16
Speaker 3: in 2009. He's been convicted in that case and sentenced
1:19
Speaker 3: to death. The military announced this week death would be
1:22
Speaker 3: by firing squad and the sentence would be carried out
1:25
Speaker 3: in December. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth now says it's going
1:29
Speaker 3: to be public. The Pentagon says it'll be live streamed.
1:33
Speaker 3: They have not announced details about a website. This will
1:36
Speaker 3: be the first U.S. military execution by firing squad since
1:40
Speaker 3: World War II and the first public execution in the U.S.
1:44
Speaker 3: since the 1930s. Iran, North Korea, and Somalia have All
1:48
Speaker 3: currently have public executions. Stephen Pickering, TSN News.
1:52
Speaker 1: Four Houston police officers are transferred after misidentifying a bomb
1:56
Speaker 1: at an airport. The officers were on duty at Bush
1:59
Speaker 1: Intercontinental Airport on September 11th. A custodian alerted them to
2:04
Speaker 1: a device he found cleaning a restroom. A four-inch red-colored
2:07
Speaker 1: cardboard tube with paper stuffed in both ends and a fuse.
2:11
Speaker 1: It was, in fact, a bomb. Larry Wainsley is the
2:14
Speaker 1: former head of global security for American Airlines.
2:17
Speaker 4: They made an assumption, which is something that you should
2:20
Speaker 4: never do.
2:21
Speaker 1: Assume that it was.
2:22
Speaker 4: Merely a firecracker and then proceeded in a very, very
2:27
Speaker 4: casual way.
2:28
Speaker 1: Officers took it out into a crowded terminal. Bomb technicians
2:32
Speaker 1: described the device as, quote, violently energetic. Wainsley says the
2:37
Speaker 1: officer should have immediately secured and cleared the area. A
2:40
Speaker 1: new Texas law that slaps restrictions on college protest is
2:43
Speaker 1: being tested at a federal appeals court.
2:46
Speaker 2: The Campus Protection Act prohibits expressive activity on campus from
2:49
Speaker 2: 10 at night until 8 in the morning. It was
2:51
Speaker 2: in response to the 2024 pro-Palestinian protests. But opponents say
2:55
Speaker 2: it's so broad that it could ban evening student prayer meetings.
2:58
Speaker 4: They have one-on-one morning prayer meetings.
3:00
Speaker 1: They have to wait until 8 a.m.
3:01
Speaker 5: To do that.
3:02
Speaker 2: Attorney Adam Steinbaugh represents several student groups, and he's backed
3:05
Speaker 2: by at least one judge on the Fifth Circuit Court
3:07
Speaker 2: of Appeals who expressed concerns about free speech violations. In
3:11
Speaker 2: San Antonio, Michael Board, TSN News.
3:14
Speaker 1: More news on the way at 6.30 or anytime at WTAW.com.
3:18
Speaker 1: I'm Will Welch. 1620-945-WTAW.
3:23
Speaker 6: Huzzah, it's Friday. Sorry, I'm still in the Renaissance.
3:26
Speaker 1: You're still in Ren mode, huh?
3:27
Speaker 6: So what did you think? First time in 20 years yesterday.
3:29
Speaker 1: First time in 20 years. The place has definitely changed.
3:32
Speaker 7: Yes.
3:33
Speaker 1: It was very cool, and I enjoyed the time with
3:37
Speaker 1: some of our coworkers and seeing the place and meeting
3:40
Speaker 1: a lot of other people in the media industry. I
3:43
Speaker 1: was floored. It was Media Day yesterday, by the way,
3:46
Speaker 1: at the Texas Renaissance Festival. I was floored by the
3:50
Speaker 1: number of influencers.
3:52
Speaker 6: Don't. It was thick. Thick with.
3:56
Speaker 6: The Instagram and TikTok crowd. So I've gone to these
4:01
Speaker 6: for several years. And usually, again, if you look historically,
4:05
Speaker 6: you see the same people there, right? Like I see
4:07
Speaker 6: a bunch of friends from Houston media, people I knew
4:11
Speaker 6: from down there. And occasionally you'll see some people from
4:14
Speaker 6: maybe Austin area come in, maybe Dallas, a few people
4:18
Speaker 6: you know from there. And it's not a massive group.
4:22
Speaker 6: And I was there last year when I was in Houston.
4:26
Speaker 6: And same thing, saw my friends from here at Bryan Broadcasting.
4:29
Speaker 6: Had a great time. This is the first year I've
4:32
Speaker 6: been to where it was all... I mean, and I
4:36
Speaker 6: saw it when we were walking in. You can always
4:39
Speaker 6: tell because they're usually... They're usually the ones kind of
4:42
Speaker 6: looking there. They never stop. They're always the camera is
4:46
Speaker 6: always going.
4:47
Speaker 1: And they've got all the camera apparatuses, the steady cams
4:50
Speaker 1: and whatnot.
4:51
Speaker 6: And and yeah, so that was that. And so then
4:56
Speaker 6: they're trying to break everyone up into groups is a
4:58
Speaker 6: giant group media people. And they keep calling out these names.
5:02
Speaker 6: I have no idea who they are, but they're really
5:04
Speaker 6: goofy names. Like, you know, like, for instance, who's the
5:07
Speaker 6: guy that got tased? Ben de Don. Ben de Don.
5:09
Speaker 6: It's like, oh, oh, influencer, influencer, influencer.
5:12
Speaker 1: You can tell because they were the ones in the
5:13
Speaker 1: costumes for the most part. For the most part.
5:15
Speaker 6: You can't even say that.
5:17
Speaker 1: There were plenty.
5:19
Speaker 6: Including two of our own from BrazosLife.com that went in
5:22
Speaker 6: full garb. But, heck, some of the Houston people in
5:25
Speaker 6: country radio were in full garb.
5:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's some people like that, but I'm saying that
5:29
Speaker 1: if I had to go just pick out from the
5:32
Speaker 1: lineup who the influencers were.
5:35
Speaker 6: It was fairly easy to figure them out.
5:37
Speaker 1: Fairly easy, yeah.
5:38
Speaker 6: But, yeah, you have to do that now. I mean, look,
5:40
Speaker 6: similar to our pal.
5:44
Speaker 6: See, now I'm going to read his name like an idiot. Salami.
5:46
Speaker 9: Salami.
5:47
Speaker 10: Yeah.
5:47
Speaker 6: Salami is not a media person. Salami is an influencer.
5:52
Speaker 6: But you need to. You need.
5:54
Speaker 11: No.
5:54
Speaker 6: Salami's got an audience.
5:55
Speaker 1: No, I get it, man.
5:56
Speaker 6: You got to get them in there.
5:57
Speaker 12: Right.
5:57
Speaker 1: I understand. I'm not saying they shouldn't be there by
6:00
Speaker 1: any stretch of the imagination. I just. I'm walking around
6:03
Speaker 1: and I'm not, I'm not the guy who's taken a
6:05
Speaker 1: bunch of videos and pictures and that sort of thing.
6:07
Speaker 1: I like to experience things rather than look at them
6:10
Speaker 1: through my phone. Right. Uh, but I had to keep
6:13
Speaker 1: dodging people who were all of a sudden stopping and shooting,
6:17
Speaker 1: you know, heck yeah, that it was just kind of,
6:19
Speaker 1: it was kind of a weird way to experience things.
6:22
Speaker 1: Something that doesn't make me comfortable.
6:24
Speaker 6: I will tell you the, um, it is an unfortunate
6:27
Speaker 6: side effect of doing like, I, I wish it was acceptable.
6:32
Speaker 6: to go back to just enjoying doing something.
6:36
Speaker 1: Now, you have a nice balance, though, but you shot
6:38
Speaker 1: a video.
6:39
Speaker 6: I feel like it's too much on me. Because it
6:43
Speaker 6: gets in the back of your head. You're like, I
6:46
Speaker 6: need to be taping this because I'm going to need
6:47
Speaker 6: to create some content later. And that's, like you said,
6:51
Speaker 6: I'm not nearly on the spectrum of having to do
6:55
Speaker 6: as much as these kids do. Those kids, they're always
6:59
Speaker 6: going like that. I'd be amazed if they even remember
7:02
Speaker 6: the events they go to.
7:03
Speaker 1: Probably.
7:03
Speaker 6: Because it's just like... And then they do it, and
7:06
Speaker 6: then they go on to the next thing.
7:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, they experience it for the video rather than the experience.
7:12
Speaker 6: Yes, literally for the video, which is... It's okay. Yeah,
7:17
Speaker 6: it's all right. I don't have a problem with it.
7:18
Speaker 6: I think it's great.
7:19
Speaker 13: Whatever.
7:19
Speaker 6: Do what you need to do. If you can get
7:22
Speaker 6: a job doing it, it's a great thing. But like...
7:25
Speaker 6: Holy cow.
7:25
Speaker 1: There were some I was curious about, like the family.
7:28
Speaker 1: The mom, the dad, the little cute little daughter.
7:30
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, that's a different, that's called family influencing. So yeah,
7:34
Speaker 6: that's a niche. It's an old genre. It's like mom talk, right?
7:38
Speaker 6: Like you, you know, so the kid becomes the vehicle
7:43
Speaker 6: for content. Like this cute kid experiencing all this stuff
7:46
Speaker 6: in a family because it makes you feel good on YouTube.
7:48
Speaker 6: When you watch, oh, isn't that fun? They went to
7:50
Speaker 6: the Texas Renaissance. Now I will say, again, not to
7:53
Speaker 6: say that the, You can have great times as a
7:55
Speaker 6: family at the Renaissance Festival.
7:56
Speaker 1: Yes.
7:58
Speaker 6: You can also have a lot to explain to your kids.
8:03
Speaker 1: Because the first time I went to the Renaissance Festival,
8:06
Speaker 1: which had to be in the first five to ten
8:08
Speaker 1: years that it was open, I have very few memories.
8:13
Speaker 1: I could kind of pick out some things there that
8:15
Speaker 1: were kind of the same, but the places changed significantly.
8:19
Speaker 1: But I do recall walking up to one of the
8:23
Speaker 1: comedy shows. And my parents quickly dragging me away from it.
8:28
Speaker 6: Yeah, that didn't change.
8:29
Speaker 4: No.
8:31
Speaker 6: Yeah, the shows are... Shows for the grown folks.
8:34
Speaker 5: Yeah.
8:34
Speaker 1: But hey, thanks for hosting us. We had a blast.
8:36
Speaker 1: Good time.
8:37
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's the best. And opening weekend this weekend, guys.
8:39
Speaker 1: Opening weekend this weekend.
8:40
Speaker 6: Let me tell you, they got the food on lock.
8:42
Speaker 1: Yeah. And the grounds look fantastic. I don't remember grass there.
8:47
Speaker 6: Super green, dude.
8:47
Speaker 1: It's grass.
8:48
Speaker 6: Super green. It's going to be a great time if
8:50
Speaker 6: you go out there. Weather-wise, it should be very nice.

9:16
Speaker 13: fought for Texas energy production to bring down prices at
9:19

11:59
Speaker 6: was not prepared for mosquitoes at all.
12:00
Speaker 17: No.
12:01
Speaker 1: They were only in one section, to be fair.
12:04
Speaker 6: That was like Vietnam.
12:05
Speaker 1: They weren't like throughout the entire park. It was the
12:08
Speaker 1: only one part.
12:09
Speaker 6: It was like Italy. Italy for some reason.
12:11
Speaker 1: It was Italy.
12:12
Speaker 6: Like, I mean, mosquitoes the size of birds.
12:14
Speaker 1: Yeah. One was attached to your jugular.
12:17
Speaker 18: Yeah.
12:17
Speaker 1: And I had to kill that one for you. I
12:19
Speaker 1: killed two or three.
12:20
Speaker 6: My hands were itching when I was like, it was like,
12:22
Speaker 6: like they were, they were, I don't know how that happened.
12:25
Speaker 6: But yeah, that's the one thing I would, but if
12:27
Speaker 6: you're going into tire, I would assume that you, you know,
12:31
Speaker 6: you give yourself some more coverage.
12:33
Speaker 1: Maybe. Maybe. I mean, skeeters will find a way. And
12:38
Speaker 1: I've been in much worse mosquito environments.
12:40
Speaker 5: Yeah.
12:41
Speaker 1: But mosquitoes regularly attack me. And so the fact that
12:45
Speaker 1: I killed two or three on me was pretty rare occurrence.
12:49
Speaker 6: I mean, I've grown up here. I've, you know, obviously been,
12:53
Speaker 6: spent most of my life between here and the gulf
12:55
Speaker 6: of mexico and holy cow that was that it takes
12:59
Speaker 6: a lot for me to be impressed by the size
13:01
Speaker 6: of mosquito.
13:02
Speaker 1: They were biggins they were some like i said you
13:04
Speaker 1: had one attached to your jugular and i was a
13:06
Speaker 1: little concerned that you might start getting.
13:08
Speaker 6: Lightheaded pass out right here in front of god and
13:11
Speaker 6: everyone let's talk reasons to celebrate for today it is
13:14
Speaker 6: the 9th of october 2026 what are we celebrating great
13:18
Speaker 6: questions Let's start with Curious Events Day. This is just
13:22
Speaker 6: a day to encourage people to investigate strange happenings, unexplained phenomena, histories, mysteries,
13:30
Speaker 6: things that just don't add up. Like, for instance, the
13:33
Speaker 6: 1518 dancing plague in Strasburg, reportedly involving people dancing uncontrollably
13:38
Speaker 6: for days or weeks. Exact cause? No one knows. Just happened.
13:44
Speaker 6: People would just catch a fit of dancing for weeks.
13:48
Speaker 1: I'm guessing Time Traveler with MDMA.
13:52
Speaker 19: Yeah.
13:52
Speaker 6: Did they have drugs in 1518?
13:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, they did.
13:56
Speaker 6: In 1977, astronomers detected the famous WOW signal, a strong,
13:59
Speaker 6: unexplained radio signal that has never been conclusively identified.
14:03
Speaker 1: I read something about a new radio signal coming from
14:05
Speaker 1: deep space the other day.
14:06
Speaker 6: I believe that is something that has resurfaced. It is
14:10
Speaker 6: International Beer and Pizza Day, appropriate because it's Friday.
14:13
Speaker 1: And inadvertently celebrated that last night.
14:16
Speaker 6: Did you?
14:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, one of my favorite pizza places in town that
14:19
Speaker 1: has a monthly... you know, different kind of pizza. Right.
14:23
Speaker 1: Their October special is one of my favorite pies anywhere.
14:26
Speaker 6: What's the October special?
14:27
Speaker 1: The October special, and I'll go ahead and say it's
14:29
Speaker 1: an RX pizza.
14:30
Speaker 6: Oh, yeah. No, I had an inkling that we were
14:35
Speaker 6: talking about RX, but I always love knowing what they're
14:37
Speaker 6: cooking up.
14:38
Speaker 1: So it is the trick-or-treat pizza.
14:40
Speaker 6: All right.
14:40
Speaker 13: Right.
14:41
Speaker 1: It's got the cheese. It's got the crust, the standard stuff. However,
14:44
Speaker 1: instead of a tomato-based sauce, which causes me issues, it
14:49
Speaker 1: has an Alfredo.
14:51
Speaker 6: That's always a strong addition.
14:52
Speaker 1: That has a little kick of spice in it, like
14:55
Speaker 1: a little habanero on the back end. But it's just
14:57
Speaker 1: enough to, you feel a little twing.
15:00
Speaker 6: Okay.
15:00
Speaker 1: But it doesn't burn you up too bad.
15:01
Speaker 20: All right.
15:02
Speaker 1: And then it's got candied bacon and garlic.
15:05
Speaker 6: Oh, that's, okay.
15:07
Speaker 1: It is so good.
15:08
Speaker 9: Okay.
15:09
Speaker 1: So good, yeah.
15:10
Speaker 6: Trip to RX this weekend.
15:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's solid.
15:13
Speaker 6: Moldy Cheese Day, a celebration of cheeses that rely on
15:16
Speaker 6: mold to develop their flavors. Think blue cheese, the most
15:20
Speaker 6: controversial cheese.
15:21
Speaker 1: I like a good stinky cheese on occasion.
15:23
Speaker 6: I live for blue cheese.
15:25
Speaker 1: I love some blue cheese, and I'll try all kinds

15:32

16:01
Speaker 1: If I don't pull a muscle, I'm wearing my Converse today, too.
16:04
Speaker 6: Yeah, but the thing is, some people get... into it
16:06
Speaker 6: to the point of obsession.
16:08
Speaker 2: Yeah.
16:08
Speaker 6: And I've never, I haven't really understood that because whenever
16:11
Speaker 6: the people start collecting them, I feel like they don't
16:13
Speaker 6: ever wear the good ones.
16:15
Speaker 1: No, of course they don't.
16:16
Speaker 6: Keep them in a case or something.

24:13
Speaker 1: Good morning and happy Friday. From the WTAW newsroom, I'm
24:17
Speaker 1: Will Welch. At last night's College Station City Council meeting,
24:21
Speaker 1: there was discussion on creating a safe passing ordinance.
24:25
Speaker 27: In July, my fiance, Hannah Rapp, was killed during an
24:28
Speaker 27: incident involving a close pass that escalated to a subsequent
24:32
Speaker 27: road rage incident. My fiance and I were just riding bikes.
24:36
Speaker 27: We were on a well-known route for cyclists, and there
24:39
Speaker 27: was less traffic than usual because that particular road was
24:42
Speaker 27: closed on one end at the time. We were riding
24:45
Speaker 27: single file on the right side of the road, but
24:47
Speaker 27: it didn't matter. She's dead, and I'm left here with
24:51
Speaker 27: what used to be an incredible life with her.
24:53
Speaker 1: That was Will Polalis. Hannah's mother, Angie Rapgrimes, also spoke
24:58
Speaker 1: to the council.
24:59
Speaker 21: I know no ordinance can bring my daughter back, but
25:02
Speaker 21: maybe it can give another family more birthdays, more holidays,
25:06
Speaker 21: more photographs, and more ordinary days together. That's what I
25:10
Speaker 21: want Hannah's legacy to be. And I would ask the
25:14
Speaker 21: council to consider naming this ordinance in Hannah's honor.
25:17
Speaker 1: The man who struck and killed Rapp during her ride
25:19
Speaker 1: along FM 159 has been indicted for murder. On Thursday,
25:24
Speaker 1: Brazos County Grand Jury handed down the indictment against 31-year-old
25:27
Speaker 1: Charles Medina. On July 18th, Medina passed Rapp and her fiancé,
25:31
Speaker 1: but then put his car into reverse. and sped towards
25:34
Speaker 1: the couple. In addition to the indictment for murder, Medina
25:37
Speaker 1: was also indicted for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
25:41
Speaker 1: A man in Bryan was arrested after climbing on top
25:44
Speaker 1: of a garbage truck. Police received a call from the

Speaker 1: was on her route on Providence Avenue a little before 5.30 a.m.
25:53

26:32
Speaker 1: 46-year-old Scott Hanna was found stumbling with a strong odor

26:38
Speaker 1: of his car. Hanna failed a field sobriety test. His

27:02
Speaker 1: Before you take or damage a campaign sign that isn't yours,
27:06
Speaker 1: or if a neighbor does it to you, it's a crime.
27:10
Speaker 1: A campaign sign is considered tangible personal property. Stealing a
27:13
Speaker 1: sign is considered theft. Damaging a sign is vandalism or
27:17
Speaker 1: criminal mischief. The punishment will vary depending on the total
27:21
Speaker 1: value of the sign or sign stolen. If someone goes
27:24
Speaker 1: on a spree, it's based on the total value of
27:26
Speaker 1: all signs. Penalties start at a fine of up to $ 500,
27:30
Speaker 1: but could include jail time when the value exceeds $ 100. Plus,
27:34
Speaker 1: entering someone's yard to steal or damage a sign could
27:36
Speaker 1: be considered trespassing. If you live in an HOA, they
27:40
Speaker 1: cannot prohibit residents from having signs in their yard within
27:43
Speaker 1: the 90 days before an election or 10 days afterwards.
27:47
Speaker 1: HOAs can adopt measures to limit the quantity of signs
27:51
Speaker 1: for a single candidate or cause, the size of the signs,
27:54
Speaker 1: and the manner in which it is mounted. Two Christian

29:30
Speaker 7: to me that inflation has really taken a bite out

29:35
Speaker 7: feels like everything has increased. from groceries to vehicles and
29:39
Speaker 7: from property taxes to, yes, insurance. And speaking of insurance,
29:44
Speaker 7: the cost of home and auto insurance has risen more
29:46
Speaker 7: in the last two years than I've witnessed in my career,
29:49
Speaker 7: and it's absolutely impacting our budgets. It can be very frustrating.
29:53

Speaker 6: really going to like what you get today, and you're
31:19
Speaker 6: really going to like what you get for, well, I
31:22
Speaker 6: would imagine.
31:22
Speaker 1: The foreseeable future.
31:23
Speaker 6: Pretty much the, yeah, it's going to be a thing,
31:27
Speaker 6: which is great.
31:28
Speaker 1: Love it.
31:28
Speaker 6: The weather is brought to you by United Roofing, a
31:30
Speaker 6: cheap metal home with a durable ass roof system, the
31:32
Speaker 6: world's best roof. Give them a call, 268-ROOF, or go
31:34
Speaker 6: to unitedroofingpros.com. There's a possibility, I was confused, that the
31:41
Speaker 6: reason we were doing the three-foot rule was to somehow limit...
31:47
Speaker 6: or mitigate the overstep of e-bikes and scooters.
31:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think we assume that because that's really
31:56
Speaker 1: what is necessary. That's the problem.
31:59
Speaker 6: I guess that was a false assumption.
32:02
Speaker 1: You mentioned something earlier, and I don't know, does the
32:04
Speaker 1: city of College Station look at e-scooters, do they classify
32:08
Speaker 1: them as bicycles?
32:10
Speaker 6: Okay, so this, in case you're wondering why we're talking
32:13
Speaker 6: about this, this has to do with the three-foot rule
32:15
Speaker 6: that was debated, Will was talking about during news just now.
32:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, we talked about it yesterday.
32:19
Speaker 6: And obviously you had the family of the woman who
32:24
Speaker 6: was killed out on 105.
32:25
Speaker 1: 159. Was it 159?
32:26
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would say 159. But was murdered. Murdered. That
32:31
Speaker 6: guy's been charged with murder by a guy who decided
32:36
Speaker 6: to zip past them back up and do what he did.
32:42
Speaker 6: And the ordinary thing about passing is a Class C
32:47
Speaker 6: misdemeanor that makes it a crime if you pass a
32:54
Speaker 6: quote-unquote vulnerable motorist. Or how are they.
32:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it includes pedestrians. I should have.
33:01
Speaker 6: This pulled up, but I don't. Yeah, it includes a
33:03
Speaker 6: lot of people.
33:04
Speaker 1: Yeah.
33:04
Speaker 6: Like pedestrians... if you're working.
33:08
Speaker 1: Mobility scooters, that sort of thing.
33:10
Speaker 6: Scooters, I mean, I would think that, and if you're
33:12
Speaker 6: talking about, this is something I'd have to hear from
33:14
Speaker 6: cyclists about, but definitionally, if that's a word, an e-bike
33:20
Speaker 6: is the same as a bike. It's a two-wheeled bike
33:23
Speaker 6: that one has a motor on it and lets you
33:25
Speaker 6: go really, really fast, and one you have to use
33:28
Speaker 6: your legs to make you go really, really fast, but.
33:30
Speaker 1: It's still a bike. Yeah, it's classified as a bicycle.
33:33
Speaker 6: And so the idea is if we put this law
33:38
Speaker 6: in to where we can fine you up to $ 500
33:41
Speaker 6: if you don't give them three feet, and then if
33:44
Speaker 6: it's a commercial vehicle, six feet, and we can pull
33:49
Speaker 6: you over and fine you. Yeah, I'm having a hard
33:53
Speaker 6: time wrapping my head around how this is going to
33:57
Speaker 6: I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around how
33:59
Speaker 6: this is going to help cyclists. If that is the idea, like, hey,
34:02
Speaker 6: we need to do something for the cyclists.
34:03
Speaker 1: Because it was brought up in the city council meeting
34:06
Speaker 1: last night. And, of course, all of those you can
34:07
Speaker 1: go online and look at what was said. It was
34:11
Speaker 1: brought up that, you know, this was all about bicycles
34:16
Speaker 1: and trying to make college station a more bicycle-friendly community.
34:22
Speaker 6: Yeah, I forget the exact wording. It was something because
34:24
Speaker 6: it was on clear existence. Bob Yancey, Reddit, achieve our
34:29
Speaker 6: objectives of making College Station a bicycle-friendly community.
34:34
Speaker 1: Which, look, you want to ride a bike, more power
34:37
Speaker 1: to you. I've got cyclists in my family.
34:39
Speaker 5: Yeah.
34:39
Speaker 1: More power to you. Right. In this community, the people
34:43
Speaker 1: that are going to take advantage of, say, biking to work, nonexistent.
34:48
Speaker 6: That's my... That's really.
34:50
Speaker 1: Unless you are a professor and you live right across
34:53
Speaker 1: the street from campus. It's a real head-scratcher for me.
34:56
Speaker 1: We're not set up to be a bicycle-friendly community, number one.
34:59
Speaker 1: There are certain areas that are, and there are certain
35:02
Speaker 1: areas that are clearly you shouldn't be.
35:06
Speaker 6: I'm certain there are people that can take advantage of that.
35:09
Speaker 6: I don't know any of them.
35:11
Speaker 1: It's so rare. It's certainly not a population that is
35:14
Speaker 1: worth spending this time on. And the other thing is,
35:19
Speaker 1: and as much sympathy as I have for the family
35:23
Speaker 1: and the former fiancé, that occurred in the county.
35:26
Speaker 24: Yeah.
35:27
Speaker 1: And this is a city ordinance.
35:29
Speaker 6: And, again, I want to defer to people that actually
35:32
Speaker 6: do cycling when it comes to this because I could
35:35
Speaker 6: just be dead wrong. That said, it seems that the
35:39
Speaker 6: most dangerous places to ride a bicycle are, in fact,
35:43
Speaker 6: outside a city limit.
35:45
Speaker 1: Your speed limits are higher. You have no shoulders.
35:47
Speaker 6: No shoulders. And yeah, people are going 60 or 70
35:50
Speaker 6: as opposed to if you're riding it on the side of,
35:52
Speaker 6: I don't know, Holloman.
35:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, or Southwest Parkway or something like that.
35:55
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's cars that are zipping by, but it's also
35:59
Speaker 6: city streets. And I just, I don't know. Text messages.
36:04
Speaker 6: And we'd love to hear from you guys, honestly, because
36:07
Speaker 6: I'm just genuinely confused by it. I'm also genuinely confused
36:12
Speaker 6: by the idea that this would have an effect on
36:16
Speaker 6: anyone's actual behavior.
36:17
Speaker 1: Well, they said that, that there's also not a lot
36:22
Speaker 1: of case for this actually being a deterrent.
36:25
Speaker 6: Because I guess if I recall correctly, it was brought
36:30
Speaker 6: up that, well, we have a texting.
36:31
Speaker 1: You know, you have a- Text of hands-free ordinance.
36:34
Speaker 6: Well, that didn't really stop anyone from texting.
36:36
Speaker 1: No, look around you.
36:37
Speaker 6: It would definitely make you, like if you see a
36:39
Speaker 6: police officer behind you, it might make you throw your
36:41
Speaker 6: phone into your, your passenger seat real quick. I've seen
36:44
Speaker 6: that happen. But it hadn't stopped people from... I mean,
36:47
Speaker 6: just look out your window. And so I don't know.
36:50
Speaker 6: And I don't know how you would even pull someone
36:51
Speaker 6: over for this. How do you prove something's three feet?
36:54
Speaker 1: Do you have.
36:55
Speaker 6: I mean, do you have a yardstick that you just.
36:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, as was mentioned yesterday, you should attach yardsticks to
37:01
Speaker 1: your vehicle. I mentioned it might be better to use
37:03
Speaker 1: the appropriately length pool noodles.
37:06
Speaker 6: Just carry one of those around.
37:09
Speaker 1: No, just tape them to you and when you're on,
37:11
Speaker 1: you know... Or tape them to your vehicle, right, so
37:15
Speaker 1: you know when the pool noodle smacks a cyclist, you
37:18
Speaker 1: need to move over a little bit.
37:19
Speaker 6: You ever go to Houston and you see those rims
37:21
Speaker 6: they have?
37:22
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. On the slabs. I've seen a few around here, yeah.
37:25
Speaker 6: They go out the gladiator rims. Just get those three
37:28
Speaker 6: feet on either side. Solve your problem.
37:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know that that would, I think that's
37:33
Speaker 1: not a loophole in the law there.
37:35
Speaker 6: I am interested, like, Do we see a point to
37:38
Speaker 6: this or am I missing something? Because if it's going to,
37:43
Speaker 6: my thing is you're just as likely to embolden people
37:47
Speaker 6: that are on the e-bikes to do stuff that they
37:50
Speaker 6: probably shouldn't be doing. Like I already get stuck behind
37:52
Speaker 6: them on regular traffic on city streets. I get stuck
37:54
Speaker 6: behind them on Texas. I get stuck behind them. I
37:57
Speaker 6: got stuck behind one on Villa Maria. I don't know
37:59
Speaker 6: how they were riding in the middle of Villa Maria,
38:01
Speaker 6: but they were like, don't we think that's going to
38:05
Speaker 6: actually allow them to say, well, you know, You can't
38:07
Speaker 6: come within three feet of me. So now I can
38:10
Speaker 6: now I have a halo. And again, I want to
38:12
Speaker 6: be safe for him. But like that, it's already a problem.
38:16
Speaker 6: We need to do something about that. That's not this.
38:19
Speaker 1: Yeah. Brad Texan, old school curb feelers now become people feelers. Ah,
38:23
Speaker 1: I see. Jay, though, Jay, Jay kind of hits it
38:25
Speaker 1: on the head there.
38:26
Speaker 9: Yeah.
38:26
Speaker 1: If you're riding a bike that goes 10 miles an
38:28
Speaker 1: hour on a farm to market road with no shoulder
38:30
Speaker 1: and a 65 mile an hour posted speed limit, the
38:34
Speaker 1: law they should be passing is to ban bikes on
38:36
Speaker 1: those roads. I get it. There are people that ride
38:42
Speaker 1: out in the area of the county where I live
38:44
Speaker 1: that like to enjoy the scenery. They like to enjoy
38:48
Speaker 1: the lack of traffic. But there is some traffic out there.
38:53
Speaker 1: I see them frequently, like on Jones, Butler, IGN. And
38:57
Speaker 1: there's a lot of traffic on those roads on occasion.
39:00
Speaker 1: And there's no shoulder. There's no place to go. And
39:03
Speaker 1: there's plenty of oncoming traffic and really no passing lanes
39:08
Speaker 1: on there.
39:08
Speaker 6: A few people have said like, well, it would just
39:09
Speaker 6: be great to ride a bike and feel safe. I agree,
39:13
Speaker 6: but do you really want to feel, should you feel safe.
39:16
Speaker 1: When you're on a bike in the middle of traffic?
39:18
Speaker 1: I would love if I could feel safe riding a motorcycle.
39:21
Speaker 6: There's part of it that you just can't get around that.
39:24
Speaker 6: That if you're going to be riding a bike on
39:25
Speaker 6: a very packed street or a fast-moving highway, I think
39:31
Speaker 6: you're always going to have the kind of clinch moments
39:34
Speaker 6: because that's what's required to keep you alert. Keep you
39:38
Speaker 6: out of traffic and safe. I don't know that you
39:41
Speaker 6: can do it. I don't know that you should do
39:42
Speaker 6: anything to alleviate people's anxiety when it comes.
39:45
Speaker 1: I mean, I get if I was to get on
39:47
Speaker 1: like a stationary bike, there's a good chance of me
39:49
Speaker 1: injuring myself.
39:50
Speaker 6: Curtis says that that's number one, if they want to
39:56
Speaker 6: be a bicycle community. You need to flat out buy
40:00
Speaker 6: and build bike trails. And in certain areas, you have
40:04
Speaker 6: to separate it out into trails. And he says he
40:07
Speaker 6: does not think roads in general are built for bicycles.
40:11
Speaker 1: They're not. The ones that exist, you simply have to
40:14
Speaker 1: modify at expense. There are bicycle safe areas. They've done
40:19
Speaker 1: a lot of that around in College Station around the
40:22
Speaker 1: Midtown area.
40:23
Speaker 6: Yeah, and Fitch looks great. I love when they have
40:26
Speaker 6: those paths that let you.
40:27
Speaker 1: Not be in traffic. But it's not everywhere, and so
40:30
Speaker 1: therefore you can't get, many times, from point A to
40:34
Speaker 1: point B on a bicycle as a primary mode of transportation.
40:38
Speaker 6: I'll tell you what I'm going to do, because the
40:40
Speaker 6: council meeting, as always, is long, which, you know, because
40:44
Speaker 6: you cover a lot of stuff, and it ends up
40:45
Speaker 6: being about a four-hour affair. I am going to rip out...
40:49
Speaker 6: the entire segment of the debate around this. And I'm
40:53
Speaker 6: going to repost it to the WTAW YouTube. So if
40:57
Speaker 6: you want to go check this.
40:58
Speaker 1: Out, we encourage you to do so.
41:00
Speaker 6: I think, because again, I was, I was dramatically confused
41:04
Speaker 6: reading the notes and watching the playback because I just,
41:07
Speaker 6: and again, all sympathy. I, but I, I don't see how.
41:10
Speaker 1: It's apples and oranges.
41:11
Speaker 8: Yeah.
41:12
Speaker 1: And it was a horrible thing that happened.
41:13
Speaker 6: It's one of the worst.
41:14
Speaker 1: And I think, I think, you know, that guy has
41:16
Speaker 1: been indicted now. Yeah.
41:18
Speaker 6: He deserves everything. It's coming from murder.
41:19
Speaker 1: And should he be convicted, I have no problem with
41:22
Speaker 1: the death penalty for him. However, I would prefer it
41:25
Speaker 1: if we executed him in the same fashion that he
41:28
Speaker 1: committed the crime. Oh, Lord. Yeah, let's send him out
41:31
Speaker 1: on the road and we all get a chance to
41:32
Speaker 1: run him down.
41:33
Speaker 6: But again, if you're a cyclist and you have the
41:35
Speaker 6: opposite side of this, I really would. I would love
41:37
Speaker 6: to hear from some people in terms of like, hey,
41:40
Speaker 6: how would this if you really believe that this would
41:43
Speaker 6: be helpful, like actually help.
41:45
Speaker 5: Yeah.
41:45
Speaker 1: And give us, give us to make, give us points.
41:47
Speaker 6: I'd love to hear it. Cause I, I genuinely, I
41:49
Speaker 6: do feel just confused as to why you would want
41:52
Speaker 6: to do something like this. But anyway, if you want
41:54
Speaker 6: to chime in nine, seven, nine, six, nine, five, 16, 20,
41:56
Speaker 6: be back in a minute.
41:57
Speaker 15: Hi, this is Neil Sperry. And I'll be back with
42:00
Speaker 15: today's plant talk, Texas, right after a word from our
42:02
Speaker 15: sponsor and friends at producers.
42:05
Speaker 14: Ranchers, it's time for you to plan your cattle feed
42:08
Speaker 14: and mineral requirements for your winter feeding program. Take advantage
42:12
Speaker 14: of bulk contract prices and place your order at Producers
42:15
Speaker 14: Cooperative between September 25th and October 17th. Reserve your feed
42:20
Speaker 14: and minerals now and pick up or take delivery as.
42:23
Speaker 1: You need them.
42:24
Speaker 14: Contracting runs September 25th through October 17th at Producers Cooperative.
42:30
Speaker 14: Everything nutrition since 1943.
42:35
Speaker 15: The dark, drab days of winter can spell real troubles
42:38
Speaker 15: for folks trying to coax tropical plants into holding their
42:41
Speaker 15: leaves and perhaps even growing indoors. Conditions just aren't all
42:45
Speaker 15: that favorable, and proper management becomes really critical. Let's outline
42:49
Speaker 15: some guidelines. Wintertime woes of the houseplant gardener, right after
42:53
Speaker 15: this important message. My book is Neil Sperry's Lone Star Gardening.
42:58
Speaker 15: I believe it's the best work of my career. I
43:00
Speaker 15: self-published it. It's directly from me to your mailbox. there's
43:04
Speaker 15: no publishing house no retail markups to run up your
43:07
Speaker 15: cost as i close out the final printing here's an
43:10
Speaker 15: offer i've never made before while supplies last i've reduced
43:14
Speaker 15: the price from thirty eight ninety five on the jacket
43:17
Speaker 15: to the lowest price ever Only $ 24. 95.
43:20
Speaker 29: It's a high-quality hardback book, 344 pages, 840 of my photographs.
43:26
Speaker 29: It covers every aspect of landscapes, lawns, flower, fruit, and
43:30
Speaker 29: vegetable gardening for every county in Texas. A 48-page perpetual calendar.
43:36
Speaker 29: It tells you when to plant, prune, feed, and protect
43:38
Speaker 29: all the plants that you're growing. That's just $ 24. 95. A
43:42
Speaker 29: signed copy, satisfaction guaranteed. Order it at neilsperry.com. N-E-I-L-S-P-E-R-R-Y dot com.
43:53
Speaker 29: Since your houseplants won't be growing as vigorously over the winter,
43:56
Speaker 29: they also won't need as much water. Overwatering becomes one
43:59
Speaker 29: of the most common causes of plant failure indoors. Check
44:03
Speaker 29: the soil before you apply any water and never water
44:06
Speaker 29: wet soil. When you do water, let it run through
44:09
Speaker 29: the pot and out the drain hole and then wait
44:11
Speaker 29: until the soil dries somewhat before you water again. Fertilizer
44:16
Speaker 29: gets much the same warning as watering. Plants that aren't
44:18
Speaker 29: growing aggressively don't need to be fed heavily either. Now
44:22
Speaker 29: where you might have been using a water-soluble complete and
44:24
Speaker 29: balanced analysis, with every watering during the growing season, you
44:28
Speaker 29: probably could feed your houseplants no more than every fifth
44:30
Speaker 29: of watering in the wintertime, and they'd be very happy
44:33
Speaker 29: with that. If you see the plants growing lanky and leggy,
44:37
Speaker 29: cut back on the plant foods. Adding light, that's a
44:41
Speaker 29: common question. You can add modest amounts of light fairly easily,
44:44
Speaker 29: but they're generally useful more for showing the plants than
44:47
Speaker 29: for growing the plants. If you have a plant that
44:50
Speaker 29: needs really bright light and your spot is pretty dark,
44:53
Speaker 29: you'd be better advised to move the plant or find
44:56
Speaker 29: a different plant altogether. It would take a mechanical maze,
45:00
Speaker 29: almost a growth chamber, to add enough light to equal
45:03
Speaker 29: what it would have gotten in a bright spot outdoors.
45:07
Speaker 15: Pest control. There are several insect and disease problems that
45:10
Speaker 15: crop up in protected environments inside our homes. Spider mites,
45:13
Speaker 15: for example, and mealybugs can proliferate. There are no natural
45:17
Speaker 15: predators and no harsh driving rains, cold, or heat to
45:20
Speaker 15: kick them off the plants. Learn to recognize early warning
45:24
Speaker 15: symptoms of the pest and then use the safest, effective
45:27
Speaker 15: control measure immediately. Leaf curl and leaf drop will happen.
45:32
Speaker 15: These are two common symptoms of houseplant problems. Plants like shifleras,
45:36
Speaker 15: rubber plants, and philodendrons will all produce abnormal-looking leaves that
45:40
Speaker 15: are often cupped or rolled. Other plants like weeping figs,
45:44
Speaker 15: Dracaena marginata, shifleras, aurelias, crotons, and deep mbachias may lose
45:50
Speaker 15: lower leaves. That's generally evidence they aren't receiving quite enough light.
45:54
Speaker 15: Merely moving them to better surroundings may solve all of
45:57
Speaker 15: those problems. And finally, freeze and chill injury. Some plants
46:01
Speaker 15: freeze with just a few minutes exposure to temperatures below
46:04
Speaker 15: 32 degrees. That comes as no shock to most gardeners,
46:07
Speaker 15: and we quickly learn to jog to the house if
46:09
Speaker 15: temperatures are in the danger zone, and we're taking plants
46:12
Speaker 15: from the nursery to a warm car and then into
46:15
Speaker 15: the house. Covering the plants with a light towel or
46:18
Speaker 15: a sheet of paper even will usually prevent cold damage
46:21
Speaker 15: for those couple of minutes. I'm Neal Sperry, and that's
46:24
Speaker 15: Plant Talk Texas for another day. Until next time, thanks
46:26
Speaker 15: for listening. and happy gardening.
46:28
Speaker 8: There's been a lot of talk about Texas Avenue Medians,
46:31
Speaker 8: so I checked the record. In 21, Bobby voted for
46:33
Speaker 8: Resolution 3950, a $ 2 million raised median improvement along Texas Avenue.
46:38
Speaker 8: In 22, he went further, making the motion to approve
46:40
Speaker 8: an agenda containing another agreement for the Texas Avenue Raised
46:43
Speaker 8: Median Project.
46:44
Speaker 1: Those are the votes. That's the record.

Speaker 30: The Aggie football team hits the road tomorrow afternoon to
47:48
Speaker 30: take on the Missouri Tigers. Head coach Mike Elko shared
47:51
Speaker 30: thoughts on the challenges that Missouri may present tomorrow.
47:55
Speaker 9: I think they're playing really, really good football. They're 12th
47:58
Speaker 9: in the country, only giving up 2.6 yards a carry.
48:00
Speaker 9: And so they've been really, really effective stopping the run
48:03
Speaker 9: and obviously did a really, really good job against an
48:05
Speaker 9: elite tailback last week, shutting him down, which nobody has
48:09
Speaker 9: really been able to do so far. And then offensively,
48:12
Speaker 9: I think it starts with the quarterback. He's playing elite football, really,
48:16
Speaker 9: really running the offense at a high, high level. And
48:19
Speaker 9: then because of that, you've got skill kids on the
48:21
Speaker 9: outside that can create separation and get open and a
48:24
Speaker 9: really talented running back. And so they stress you in
48:27
Speaker 9: a lot of different ways. And so it'll be a
48:29
Speaker 9: big challenge for Saturday for sure.

49:33
Speaker 20: it there's not enough reps for you to make every
49:35
Speaker 20: possible mistake so it's You don't want a lot of mistakes,
49:38
Speaker 20: but I do find a ton of value in making
