3:01
YMCA camp over in Scott Depot. It's happening on Saturday July twenty seconds,
3:09
called Camp Menda Heart. Mike Dupay is a director of Breavement and Spiritual Care
3:15
services at Hospice Karen. He joined us now, Mike, good morning,
3:16
how are you, sir? Good morning Dave. Thanks for having me,
3:19
Thank you for being there. Now, I got the title wrong. I
3:22
think of where it's going to be. It's camp, and my pronouncements right
3:24
high Tour, Well Camp, High Tour is the Try County YMC. Okay,
3:29
that's what it's called. Okay, I just always called to YMS gay
3:30
Camp. I've learned something out here on the show today. Never too old
3:34
to learn. Welcome to the show. Let's talk about the hospice organization of
3:38
that you're part of it as an overall to give us you overall picture.
3:40
Well Hospice we are end of life care and we are able to take patience
3:46
with a diagnosis of six months or less to live, and we provide a
3:52
bunch of services to provide that quality end of life care. We have a
3:57
medical director on staff, we have nerve, we have social workers, we
4:01
have chaplains, we have counselors, we have CNAs. So we provide a
4:06
holistic approach to care. And I'll say this, Mica is someone who's had
4:10
a pair that was treated in a hospice type organization years ago. My father.
4:15
I know firsthand the amazing work that you folks do in this whether it's
4:19
here or where wherever it is, I mean, it's it's it's an amazing
4:23
work you do. Yeah, thank you for that. But we try to
4:27
get our patients as early as possible so we can get those services set up.
4:30
And once those services are set up, we can provide the highest invest
4:33
quality of end of life care. Let's talk about what you're going on.
4:36
What you have going on over in Putnam County in July twenty second. July
4:40
twenty second is known as Camp Mentehart and Camp Mentehart is a camp for greeting
4:45
children ages five to eighteen years old, and we provide this. It's an
4:48
annual camp. It's a one day camp. The registration begins at eight o'clock
4:53
between eight to eight thirty and we have a lot of events, fun events,
4:59
but also some seri events. So we provide an atmosphere of having fun
5:02
and grief education so that children can learn how to cope and manage their feelings
5:06
of grief. So what who are the who? Who's your target here?
5:12
Who are these kids? I mean, what kind of kids would you be
5:15
looking at to attend this camp? Yeah, we're looking for well not looking
5:18
looking. Yeah, we're offering this camp. Yes, offering the camp to
5:25
children who who've lost a loved one. So it's available to anyone, not
5:29
just hospice families, but also to the community. So we're providing that service
5:33
for children who've lost a loved one. So I mean we're talking to you
5:36
know, a parent, grandparents, sibling, things of that nature. Absolutely,
5:41
friend, sibling, m grandparent, parents, Yes, exactly. I
5:45
think sometimes well, and again I always say on the show when I talk
5:48
about anything related to kids, always say I'm not a parent, and I
5:51
throw that out there. But sometimes kids, um process grief. I would
5:59
think process grief if a whole lot differently than what adults do, depending on
6:03
their ages. Yes, children process grief. For example, the younger ones
6:08
when when they have questions they'll answer, They'll they'll ask the questions, and
6:12
when those questions are satisfied, they may go out to play and go out
6:15
and do their thing and playing and whatnot, and then later come back with
6:18
another question. M So it's kind of that given take of just kind of
6:23
discovery someone they have time to think about it or do all loot it or
6:27
yes, or something to that nature. Again, we're talking with Mike Dupay
6:30
who's the director of Bereavement and Spiritual Care Services of Hospitals CARE about this big
6:33
camp that they're gonna be doing in over in Putnam County on Saturday, July
6:38
second there at the YMCA camp. What ages are we looking for for the
6:41
kids at the camp? We are looking for again, we're offering them just
6:45
offering recruiting that we're not recruiting or we're offering ages five to eighteen years old.
6:50
But it seems like in camps of years past we usually get between the
6:56
ages of five to fifteen years old, but it's offered to sixteen seventeen.
7:00
How many years has this been going on. We've been doing this for about
7:02
fifteen years now. Wow, let's turnout been like over the years. I
7:05
mean, we usually get between twenty and twenty five children, okay, per
7:10
day. And what exactly goes on there at the camp, I mean,
7:12
what what do you do? We have a lot of events scheduled. We
7:15
have team games that we are going to offer up. We have icebreaker games
7:20
to play, we have relay races. We have grief educational type of things
7:27
like memory boxes, so the children will actually have a memory box. It's
7:30
it's a white photo box and they'll decorate it to capture the spirit and memory
7:34
of their loved one and then they can put their artifacts in their sentimental value
7:40
valuable things in this memory box. And we're going to do some arts and
7:43
crafts. We have memory bracelets that children will be able to put together with
7:46
their name of their loved one and wear it around their brace are around their
7:49
risks. We're gonna have a wave bottle part of the arts and crafts event.
7:55
We also are going to have a swimming event. Swimming is between one
8:00
thirty and three thirty that afternoon, and we're gonna have some therapy dogs there.
8:03
So a lot of interaction and that's our goal of this campus to have
8:07
the children interact with each other so they can receive the pure support and pure
8:11
validation that they're not alone on their grief. Sure, and that's what kind
8:13
of wanted to want to get into next, Mike, and that is I
8:16
would think it is just as an outsider looking in that when you have kids,
8:22
young adults that are meeting people that have gone through the same thing.
8:28
You know, I was someone who had that age. I don't recall losing
8:33
anyone close to me, but I would think that if I did, or
8:35
if you did, or whatever, that having someone because nobody, you mean,
8:39
you may have that feeling that nobody understands what I'm going through right now.
8:43
But when you meet your peers, somebody who's the same age as you,
8:46
or same interest as you or whatever, and say, hey, you
8:48
know I lost I lost my dad too, I lost my mom too,
8:50
I would think that that would be a good thing to be able to interact
8:54
with that person. A very powerful thing. Children being able to look at
8:58
another of their age and say, you know, you're on the same journey
9:01
I'm on, and yeah, you're getting through it and I'm going to get
9:05
through it, and so we can do this together. But that puer validation
9:09
and pure support is vital, and we offer that at the camp along with
9:13
you know, positive interaction with adults, well trained grief counselors, and we
9:18
just believe Dave that if you show people that you care, great things can
9:22
happen. How do you go We've used the word recruiting, that's not the
9:26
right word, but offer. But how do you go about offering? How
9:30
are you going about getting the word out? I know you're doing this show,
9:31
but what else are you doing? What other services or organizations do you
9:35
work with so people would know about this well. Earlier on in the year,
9:39
I sent out an email to the Canall County School Systems and Putnam County
9:41
School Systems so that we are offering through the school systems when we're getting a
9:46
lot of referrals that way, where we also have flowers that are circulating throughout
9:52
the community. I did a TV show yesterday with Jim Strawn. It'll be
9:58
on Sorry to hear that, I'm kidding Jim James my buddy, He'll be
10:01
on the show tomorrow, but go ahead, he says, Hi, Yeah,
10:03
he'll be here tomorrow. So that's gonna be on Channel seventeen, I
10:07
believe, starting on Monday at eight thirty morning and eight thirty in the evening,
10:11
so we are promoting it that way. So yeah, we're just circulating
10:15
it through our Facebook page at hospice and through emails and through exposure like this.
10:20
We appreciate the opportunity absolutely. Five duly presented in part by Travis Willard.
10:24
You're Edward Jones Financial Advisor, just off the Day's Valley Act. To
10:26
learn how Travis and the team can help you reach your financial goals is at
10:31
Edward Jones dot com or called Travis Willard today three oh four, three nine,
10:33
seven, fifty five and fifty three for You're Edward Jones, Financial Advisor,
10:37
Travis Willard, Edward Jones Member SIPCC. Now there is a registration deadline
10:43
though, because obviously anytime you're planning an event like this, Mike, you
10:46
gotta you gotta get make sure that you got enough stuff to go around.
10:48
So what is the registration deadline? Well, the registration deadline is really right
10:52
up to that camp day July twenty first, Okay, that Friday, So
10:56
we prefer to have everybody signed up July twentieth, that would be ideal.
11:00
But the earlier the better. I was earlier the better, Yes, And
11:01
we have about twenty children signed up right now, and so we probably have
11:07
about ten more slots open, at least ten to twelve more slots, okay,
11:11
And where can people learn more about them? They can call us at
11:13
our hospice number three oh four seven six eight eight five two three and just
11:18
ask for the brevement department and we can inform them about the camp registration,
11:22
about the camp events. And go to our Facebook page at Hospicecare WV dot
11:30
org how to text to the show here. I want to read this for
11:31
you, Mike says, like you, Dave, My father was in hospice
11:35
care. They were wonderful caregivers, not only to him but to us as
11:39
well. My only regret is not calling them sooner. There are many support
11:43
service that they provide addition to end of life care. Yeah, we touched
11:46
on that earlier in the conversation. So the sooner though, we can get
11:48
patients the better level of care that we can provide. And by offering again
11:54
the holistic approach to care with our medical staff, our nursing staff, our
11:58
social workers, counselor's chaps, cennas, and we get those services in,
12:03
we can calm the situation down and provide a lot of emotional and spiritual and
12:07
physical support for families. Had also another text of the show, does Hospitals
12:11
Care offer other grief and lost services in the community. Yes, we do,
12:16
We sure do. Every Tuesday, we have a support group that meets
12:18
at ten thirty in the morning and that goes from ten thirty to twelve thirty
12:22
every Tuesday. And then on every Thursday, we have a group that meets
12:26
from six o'clock to eight o'clock. And then on every Friday, we have
12:30
another support group that's targeting those folks that have lost individuals to a drug overdose
12:35
or to alcohol addiction, and those are every Friday from twelve to two.
12:41
Yeah, I would think you we'll wrap it up with this, Mike.
12:43
I would think that, I mean, loss is lost. You know,
12:46
whether you whether you lose someone or you're about to lose someone, as you
12:48
said, through addiction or an auto accident or or just an illness, you
12:54
know your loss is lost. But I would think that the grief process is
12:58
different if it is a sudden loss or if it's something like what you consider.
13:05
I know I'm totally butchery not using the right technology the right terminology here,
13:09
but if you lose someone to cancer, which is about my father died
13:11
of or something like, when it was not it was it was not unexpected.
13:16
When he passed, we knew it was coming, as opposed to losing
13:20
someone suddenly in some sort of an accident, overdose, or something to that
13:24
effects. Yeah, before I answer that question, I would also want to
13:26
reiterate that these support groups that we offer are not just for hospice families,
13:31
there for the community as well. Okay, so I want to get that
13:33
word out that this is offered to the community. Getting back to your question,
13:37
Yeah, liking it too. When you know someone has cancer, for
13:43
example, and the death is coming, you can see it coming. So
13:46
it's like you see that person holding the baseball bat and he's coming at you,
13:50
but you can see him from a distance. When someone dies, suddenly
13:52
that baseball that person holding the baseball bat hits you from behind and you find
13:56
yourself on the ground like wondering how did I get on the ground, reorienting
14:01
yourself, and it's a quick blow that you just don't see coming. So
14:03
there's a lot of confusion, a lot of feelings that come up, and
14:07
just a lot of chaos within that grief process. Well, you've brought up
14:11
some really good points here today. I'd like to have you back on the
14:13
show at another point, you know, to talk about some other services that
14:16
you offer. Mike du Pays, a director of a brievement and spiritual care
14:18
services at Hospice Care. Again, give us all the details on the camp
14:24

up and running here in Charles. We do a Regatta update now. And
18:17
this Regotta update is brought to you by Selango Law results matter called Selano Law,
18:22
Charleston's personal injury law firm. Want to bring in Sean Hill from Kart
18:26
Sean, good morning, how are you sir? And wearing Dave, Thanks
18:27
for having me on, Thank you for being here. Over two hundred thousand
18:32
people came into Charleston last year for regatta, and I would imagine Sean,
18:36
it's very difficult getting everyone from place to place. Talk about krt's role in
18:41
this exactly. So KRT is excited for the second year in a row to
18:44
play a major role as far as facilitating the transportation. So when individuals come
18:48
to Charleston, they say, well, how do I get to the actual
18:51
event? Where do I park? And the Regatta Commission has done a fantastic
18:53
job with planning out parking locations and Kart's proud to offer that shuttle service.
18:59
And what we're doing actually is every thirty minutes starting tomorrow. So tomorrow we're
19:03
gonna operate from eleven am to eleven pm, and then on the weekends we're
19:07
gonna operate from nine am to eleven pm, and then again on Monday and
19:11
Tuesday from eleven am to eleven pm. This shuttle service every thirty minutes,
19:15
and we're running two different routes, and I'd love to tell you about it.
19:18
Tell us about the routes. Sure, So we got two different options.
19:22
So if you're coming in from the east end of Charleston, you can
19:25
park your car at Lately you're gonna run down Quarrier Street. This year we
19:29
made an adjustment. We're actually going to swing up Morris Street to Smith so
19:32
that we can pick up individuals at the ballpark there. So if the Dirty
19:34
Birds are playing all weekend long, I think they're the Charleston Wheelers from one
19:37
night this weekend. Also, I want to find out Aten Douglas is going
19:41
to be my next guest, so we'll find out for exactly. And so
19:42
then that's gonna come down and drop folks off at the city Center where I
19:45
know there are plenty of festivities going on. So that's the East End Option
19:49
Park at Lateley Park, at the Ballpark. We'll get you downtown, we'll
19:52
get you to the city Center, and then if you're coming from the west
19:55
side of Charleston, or if you're coming from South Charleston, South Hills,
19:57
etc. Offha Patrick's there. That Big Lots parking lot is where we're gonna
20:02
stage cars. We're gonna pick them up there. We're gonna run down Canal
20:04
Boulevard. We'll drop you off at Magic Island and then make our way to
20:07
City Center and back and we're gonna run that again all through the weekend.
20:11
It's a completely free shuttle and we're really excited to be a part. Well,
20:15
and what did you learn from last year? Because you know, last
20:18
year was the first time since O nine that Rigatta was back, and of
20:21
course it's a totally different world between O nine and twenty twenty two, So
20:25
what did you learn what were the things last year you said, Okay,
20:27
we need to improve on this. This worked, this was stellar, This
20:32
needs a little work, this totally didn't work. What would you take away
20:33
from last year? Yeah, I think the main thing we took away again
20:37
making that change that we're trying to get to more parking, So going up
20:41
Morris to Smith and having access to that big lot there beside the ballpark is
20:45
is huge for us and for the city. Obviously that that was a big
20:49
change from the map, but otherwise, you know, if it's if it's
20:52
not broke, don't fix it. And we had really positive feedback from individuals
20:56
who had never been on a KRT bus and we were excited to get him
20:59
on there because that's part of it. You vote for the safety level,
21:00
you expect us to be there when we have these public events, and we're
21:03
really proud that we're able to make it happen. And we were all guilty
21:07
of this, and Sean, I know you are and I have been guilty
21:08
of this as well. You know, everybody wants to be to do the
21:11
things in the most convenient way to them, and they always want to you
21:15
know, park right up front. But if you are planning on coming to
21:17
the regarded this really is the best option. If you're coming to the concerts,
21:21
or you get the kids with you, whatever, this is really the
21:22
best option is to park away and get on the busy hop on the bus.
21:26
You don't have to think about a thing. We'll get you there,
21:29
we'll drop you off in all the major spots, and we'll get you back
21:30
to your car safely. And I would imagine a lot of work goes into
21:34
working out these these routes. I mean, again, we're talking about several
21:37
hundred thousand people. That's what you had last year, probably going to be
21:41
more this year, because if you know, you want the event to grow,
21:45
and it's it's growing and it and I think it's surpassed what numbers wise,
21:49
it surpassed what everybody thought it was going to do last year. So
21:53
I would imagine I just have this image of you Gas sitting in the planning
21:56
session. You know, you're like like you know, with the with the
22:00
battle maps out and you know, the whole thing. I mean a lot
22:02
goes into this bud. You know, it's it's it's more complicated than people
22:06
may think. And we have backup plans, we have Hey, if the
22:07
demand is incredible, then we bump it up as far as you know,
22:11
instead of thirty minutes, maybe it's fifteen minutes. We've made those changes in
22:15
the past depending on demand. So we're willing and ready and able to pull
22:19
this off, and we're excited to see how it works. Our phone calls
22:22
to five eighty live our service of Bigley Piggly Wiggily when shopping did your Bigley
22:26
Pigglely Wiggily. We should have joined their loyalty program. You can say big
22:30
at the gas pumps and throughout the store with their electronic coupons and free gifts
22:33
on Fridays just for stopping by. For farming to table. Bigglely Piggily Wiggily,
22:37
the best kept secret in Charleston. Texting services provided by Fruit Pharmacy,
22:40
your hometown family Pharmacy. And we're talking with Sean Hill from KRT about transportation
22:45
as it pertains to the regatta. Did you have a situation at all last
22:49
year or maybe do you anticipate this year where the bus is full, I
22:53
can't get anybody else on the bus gonna make up mean? Is that something?
22:56
I guess it's a good problem to have, but exactly that it's a
22:59
good problem to have. And that's where last year we made we made the
23:00
call. We had started at thirty minute schedule and we quickly pivoted to every
23:04
fifteen minute schedule. So, thankfully, I've got a fantastic team of operators
23:08
who are just excited to be a part of this. So I've got a
23:11
list of individuals where if if we run in that situation where we talk to
23:15
our drivers and they say, hey, the buses are full, we need
23:17
more vehicles. We need to pull this off. KRT is going to be
23:19
there for the regatta. We're gonna make it happen. How many buses are
23:22
you gonna be utilizing your nest They'll be round three to four buses. But
23:27
again that can that can hop up depending on demand. Yeah, picture you
23:30
on the phone out Gome, we need more buses. Bring the buses.
23:34
How does it impact the other KR because you know you guys do you're and
23:37
all this are still running your normal routes with Kart. How does that work?
23:41
Exactly? So, thankfully, the city, even with the operations going
23:44
on in the Regatta commission, what they have going on at the City Center
23:47
station there on lately that doesn't impact our service dramatically at all. So thankfully
23:52
we've again back to that great team of operators we have. We have people
23:55
who step up on their days off who say, hey, I'll drive these
23:56
buses, so our normal service will go on without a hitch. Any passengers
24:00
who rely on Karot can still rely on us. We're gonna be there.
24:06
And and then the individuals who want to ride on Karote for the first time
24:10
for this shuttle, we're gonna be there for them also. Well, and
24:11
I would think too that there may be people that don't have it, as
24:15
you said at the top of the same with that have never written a KRT
24:18
bus before, and this may be their first time on the bus and they
24:21
get on they're like, well, this is pretty nice. I should do
24:22
this on a regular basis exactly. So so back to that the question of
24:26
the planning, their first impressions mean a lot. So our team that are
24:27
cleaning the buses and making sure they're in, you know, in the best
24:30
shape possible, they recognize that also, and we don't take that lightly.
24:34
Got a text here for you. Text says Charleston Ghost Tours will be Happy.
24:38
Tours started at the boulevards side of the Governor's mansion. Do you know
24:42
where the best place to park for that would be? I mean, I
24:45
know you're you're the bus guy, not necessarily the parking guy, but any
24:48
input there, Yeah, I mean we're gonna be running up Elizabeth, so
24:52
um, when we run up Elizabeth towards Lately and actually when we leave Lately
24:56
and come down Elizabeth to meet Quarrier, I mean, that would be most
25:00
likely the closest location there to hop on the bus. And as I said,
25:03
if you're coming into Charleston today, I hit town about seven thirty usually
25:07
every morning off sixty four, getting off on Virginia Street there and as I
25:11
said, Sean, it's already starting to look like Regatta. You know,
25:14
we get some streets closed, and what you can see with all the smoke,
25:17
that's it's a there's magic in the air and smoke in the air.
25:21
Went to to have to steal that. But over the next couple of days,
25:23
you know, there are going to be road closures and I'll give them,
25:26
you know, credit to the I think the City of Charleston and the
25:30
uh the Regatta Facebook pages and things that nature have done a really good job
25:33
of letting people know because you know, there's still people working in downtown Charleston.
25:37
There's still people have to come and you know, and go to work.
25:40
And Monday is going to be a weird day because with July fourth falling
25:44
on a Tuesday, some people have the day off on Monday and some people
25:48
don't. Some people will take you know, a annual leave day or whatever
25:52
to take an extra little holiday. But there's still people working, so you
25:56
got to kind of work around all that exactly. Uh, let me see,
26:00
text says love KRT. Such a great public service. Fantastic. There
26:03
you go, there you go. Where can people find the information about the
26:07
I know, the regatta. As I said, their Facebook page and their
26:10
website does a good job. But overall it shouldn't be too hard to find.
26:12
If people need more information on the bus, yeah, it shouldn't be
26:15
too tough. You can go on our Facebook page, or you can go
26:18
to right on kart dot com. We'll have that schedule posted up there,
26:21
right on the homepage, easy to click on, easy to see. And
26:22
we're gonna go over those pickup points as we close out the segment here to
26:26
capitos. But I want to switch gears totally for a moment, get away
26:29
from Regatta for a moment. There was a meeting held yesterday with kart folks
26:33
who want to understan Jeff Jenkins and I the newsroom. We're talking about a
26:36
little bit earlier, and there is an app coming talk about this. Yeah,
26:40
so we're really excited about this and careful not to overpromise there, yeah,
26:45
to under deliver there because the timeline here is pretty spaced out. But
26:48
we're really excited. We've been working so we have this shuttle that happens with
26:52
the airport, so up at CRW whare individuals who come in late at night.
26:56
They can take this shuttle to downtown hotels and historically they would call in
26:59
to KRT and we would operate that way with our dispatch team. We've actually
27:03
had an app now that we're really excited about. It's called Kart Plus,
27:07
and it's going to allow individuals to download this app. They're going to request
27:10
a ride, they're gonna pick the hotel they're going to downtown. It's going
27:12
to take them down there and it can do the same thing in reverse.
27:15
Essentially. Just think think rideshare. You look at the app, it's just
27:18
like an uber or lift, but KRT background check, drug tested individuals are
27:23
operating those vehicles. We're looking and again this is a soft launch of this
27:29
product, but you think of scalability and what could this mean. We offer
27:33
a pair of transit service that also is running behind the scenes on the same
27:36
exact app. So when our pair of transit passengers want to get on historically
27:41
they would call a day in advance and say hey, I need a ride.
27:44
Well, now they're going to be able to get on here and use
27:47
this app and schedule those rides. And you think long term, as we
27:49
scale up with more vehicles and more employees to pull this off, what this
27:52
can mean the Cana County is going to be This is the future. I
27:56
mean apps are the future and it's happening everywhere else. I'm one that sometimes
28:00
fights tooth and nail against technology, but this is one that you can't you
28:03
can't fight no, this is this is one that needs to happen. This
28:06
is one that's going to improve the service to every single citizen who votes for
28:10
the safety levy. We're gonna get people door to door eventually. I'm not
28:15
gonna put a date on it. It's gonna take some time to do it
28:17
right, and we're not going to fail when we do this well. And
28:18
sometimes you don't want to, like she said, you don't want to rush
28:21
it. You know, let's make sure that you get it right. But
28:22
this is, this is where it's going. That'll be a great service when
28:26
it's when it's when it's up and running. A lot has gone into that,
28:27
I'm sure too. Yes, it's it's it's our baby. We're really
28:32
excited about this and we're gonna be very careful about how it rolls out.
28:33
Well. We'll have you on again to talk about that as we get a
28:36
little bit closer. When you're actually ready to you say, okay, we're
28:40
full on here. All right, let's kind of recap Sean Hill again from
28:42
kort Is with us. Let's recap the bus situation for regatta. Yep,
28:47

32:01
Want to welcome in our good friend Eden Douglas from the Trump right on time.
32:07
I'm here. It was kind of funny because I walked out and I
32:12
was like, I told Sean from Karatia, said, tell Eden to come
32:15
on in, and then I I got no. I got no, Eden,
32:19
but you're here. I'm here, I'm here. I ran into him
32:21
whenever I was walking in. Okay, I kind of just figured, all
32:23
right, uh, let me before I get to you. I gotta take
32:27
your care of some other business here. Uh. Somebody texted the show but
32:30
Regatta said, is there any word on the air quality level from the smoke
32:32
during regatta? Well, doing what I do. I texted our good friend,
32:37
the captain of the whole regatta thing, Brian Hughes Meteorologies of Brian Hughes,
32:40
and he said, the show must go on. So that's the only
32:44
answer I have for you. Uh, it was pretty bad here in the
32:47
Charleston area yesterday and this morning. I mean I was driving in from Tay's
32:51
Valley between the smoke and the fog and everything this morning, he did not
32:53
make for ideal driving conditions this morning. But so that's kind that's kind of
32:58
where we are. So hopefully things will start to clear up. Just but
33:00
can you do anything about the smoke? Even I cannot. But I was
33:04
worried yesterday. I was, and I was worried this morning. But we're
33:07
still playing baseball well. And and that's an interesting point because I and maybe
33:10
I'm wrong about this, but I thought that there were and again I didn't
33:15
just just kind of hit me, but I think there was at least one,
33:17
maybe two Major League baseball games that were possibly postponed because of the smoke.
33:22
I'm not sure we heard about that, but a few weeks ago we
33:24
had two teams who had to cancel a series because of the smoke. So
33:29
we we aren't in that situation just yet. But the I think it was
33:32
Lancaster and Staaten Island had to cancel because of because of it, So I
33:37
don't We're not there definitely, But okay, I haven't heard about the Major
33:40
League ties but I would be surprised because what we're seeing here being in West
33:45
Virginia is kind of crazy. And it is kind of weird because I was
33:47
in southern West Virginia to Beckley area yesterday when I when I left here and
33:52
down there wasn't wasn't nearly as bad. But man, here it's it is
33:57
kind of bad. All right. So, how did we do last night?
33:58
Had the dirty words do last night? We didn't win last night,
34:00
but we are eight and two in our last ten games. Our team is
34:05
stepping up. It's it's pretty exciting. Um, We've got some new guys
34:08
on the roster and day it is like a completely three sixty. It really
34:13
is. It is a complete three sixty from where we were at the beginning
34:15
of the season. I started off a little slow, Yeah, it did.
34:19
They the energies up. The guys are really molding together. It's it's
34:22
just all coming full circle and it's it's pretty good baseball. As Billy said
34:27
that, our guys are good. So what's going on tonight? And as
34:30
we head into Regatta weekend? We got a big weekend. Um, tonight
34:34
is dollar Beer night and it is our COPA night, so they'll be planning
34:37
as the Bahara Susio state Charles, Okay, to hold on, back up,
34:40
I want you to pronounce this because I saw it and you and I
34:44
talked about it when I had you on prior to the season. And I'm
34:46
doing good to get English out let alone, try to add you trying me
34:51
to do Spanish. So explain what the name of the team is tonight,
34:53
Pharo Sussios Stay Charleston, which is dirty birds in Spanish. Okay, Yeah,
34:59
I'm gonna take your word for it. Okay. So how many times
35:01
did you have to practice that? A lot? And I still sometimes mess
35:05
it up, but I'm on the field, all right. So that's the
35:07
new So what's the whole reason behind that? Changing it for one night?
35:10
Um, we're doing it for five Thursdays this season. We're splitting it up
35:14
between our Latin identity and the Charlie's. But we really wanted to It's never
35:19
been done before in Charleston, so we wanted to highlight that Latin heritage.
35:23
And um, I mean, honestly, these Latin players make baseball the game
35:27
that it is, and they made it what it was. Yeah, I
35:30
mean that's true. I mean, if you look at it. I don't
35:30
know what the statistics are like for the Atlantic League, but if you look
35:34
at Major League Baseball, the majority of players are same. It's the same
35:38
in the Atlantic League. That's why I said this yesterday too. The first
35:42
half of the season was so slow because we were waiting on our visa guys
35:45
to get in. And it wasn't just us, it was like all of
35:49
these all teams were like waiting, and you just saw like a huge increase
35:52
in how the game was being played after all these guys got here. But
35:57
we really just wanted to show appreciation to them and for the guys on our
36:00
team, as well as people in Charleston and just overall in the game of
36:04
baseball. So when people come out to the ballpark tonight, I mean,
36:07
you know, you get the different name that had anything else special going on
36:09
to night. I mean, I know, dollar Beer, anything related to
36:13
the Yeah, so we're doing a pregatta party. Um, we're without or
36:17
like tie in with the Dollar Beers, and we have fireworks tonight. So
36:21
that is gonna be fun on a Thursday night. Dollar Beer Night. We
36:23
have fireworks. So that's one thing we moved them to tonight. We will
36:28
not have fireworks on Saturday because we pushed the game to four of five.
36:31
So we're gonna do another Pregada party on Saturday with Dollar Beers, which is
36:36
gonna be fun. Um. So if people can come in pre game with
36:38
us and then head over to the Regatta for the weekend. And I just
36:42
had Sean Hill from KRT on talking about the the transportation situation with the bus
36:46
eat and everything, and they're gonna be picking people up from the ballpark.
36:50
So I mean you walk literally like walk right out of the out of the
36:53
ballpark and get on the bus and head and head down to Regattare you excited
36:55
about Regatta? You're a You're a Charles Stoney and at least Charles Stoney from
37:00
the area anyway from the general area, So I'm excited. So I didn't
37:04
have a chance to go last year because you were busy. So we were
37:07
so busy, we were in town and our games were a little later.
37:08
So um. But this year, that one game on Saturday is at four
37:13
or five, so I intend on heading down there after our game on Saturday.
37:15
Well, and some great entertainment. I mean, you know you got
37:17
flow Rider, uh, and you got Jody Messina and you got cool in
37:22
the Gang. I think I can better than Ezra. I think I convinced
37:24
our entire team to go on Saturday and Sunday to see flow riding cool in
37:29
the Gang. So if you were there at the regatta, you will see
37:30
dirty birds there well, and that's cool. And I mean, I know
37:34
they want to take a shower and everything after the game, but I think
37:35
if they come downtown based you know, we're in the we're in the gear,
37:37
I think that'd be pretty cool. People automatically know who they are.
37:40
Yeah, we're excited, um, but we're also excited because we have fun
37:44
things and we're trying to tie it in to allow people to have a chance
37:46
to come to our game and then go downtown to spend time at the regatta.
37:51
So we hope they come with us, and we hope they go to
37:53
the regatta too. What else you got going on throughout the weekend? Um?
37:57
Friday night, we have a giveaway. It's a military replica T shirt
38:00
giveaway that fans can wear on our game on Monday, which is our Independence
38:05
Day celebration. Saturday, we were playing as the Charleston Wheelers, which is
38:08
going to be really fun to tie in with the regatta as well and the
38:13
Dollar Beers and then heavy games Sunday, and then Monday is our Salute to
38:16
Service Night and Independence Day celebration with super Mega Blast fireworks. Well it's kind
38:22
of cool because you know, it's fifty fifties to whether you'll be home or
38:24
away while this is going on, and all the other teams in the league
38:28
they have things going on in their respective towns, you know, in relation
38:30
to the Fourth of July as well. But to be able to have all
38:34
these activities, you know, going on and while at the same time that
38:37
regatta is going on pretty good stuff. It's I mean, it's interesting.
38:40
We saw it last year like people were coming to us first and then they
38:44
were heading over to the regatta. And we only want that to keep happening
38:46
or they stay with us because it's still a fun environment. You need a
38:51
break from the regatta, come to come our ballparks. So we're really pushing
38:54
for people to come. We got a lot of fun things planning to giveaway
38:58
fireworks, the Wheels, Dollar Beers. There's so much going on. Now
39:02
do you frequently play as the Wheelers? I know you do. The Charlie's
39:06
thing. But have you done the Wheelers before? We have not done the
39:07
Wheelers. This is on one night only, Okay, all right. We
39:09
tried to do a Wheelers night. Um it was inter last year the year
39:13
before, but we didn't wear jerseys. So this year we ordered the original
39:17
Wheelers jersey and that was and if that was like an early early to midnighties
39:22
thing, I think. And I know if Rod Blacks I was listening,
39:24
he's in a text meet. He's gonna tell me I got that wrong.
39:25
But but I remember the Wheelers very very well. Matter of fact, I
39:30
had a good friend from my hometown that actually played for the for the Wheelers
39:34
for a while before they shipped him off, you know, somewhere else,
39:37
and he was one step away from the major leagues. But that whole shoulder
39:39
thing, man, I just got him. But that's gonna be kind of
39:42
cool. Now. Will you have Wheelers merchandise for sale? We will not,
39:45
So we're doing it so you may be looking at in the future.
39:47
Uh maybe we're trying to keep it and really build the dirty Birds Burland.
39:53
These these jerseys will be available for auction, So there are Game one jerseys
39:58
the player will sign it and then you can and try to bid on them
40:00
and on our live source app. They so they will be available for auction
40:05
after the game and through next week. Well, talk about the about the
40:08
salute to the military that you're doing, because I mean, no other state
40:13
other than West Virginia. West Virginia has had more people per capita give their
40:17
life for this country into military than any other state in the Union. And
40:21
it's not even close from what I understand, So I know that's an very
40:23
important part of what of what the dirty words do. Yeah, one one
40:28
day, it is our Fourth of July celebration, but we're calling it Salute
40:30
to Service Night. We'll do a recognition for the military in game where everyone
40:36
will stand depending on what branch they were in, called the branches, and
40:39
they'll stand, which is one of my favorite things to see people in the
40:43
stands and like have them sin I feel disrespectful sitting when they're standing, because
40:47
I want to like to show them that we appreciate them a lot. And
40:52
all military members and retired and active we'll get in for free. They just
40:55
have to get a ticket from the box office if they prison their badge or
40:59
whatever they have, and then we'll celebrate the fourth of July, celebrate our
41:05
freedom with super mega blast fireworks, recognize the military. I mean, it's
41:08
it's gonna be fun. Talk with Eatan Douglas from the Dirty Birds here on
41:13
the five eighty Live. Of course, your tickets, dirty Birds gear,
41:15
schedules, promotions. We always say just good to a Dirty Birds baseball dot
41:20
Com And I'm guessing now we're nearing the halfway point of the season. How
41:22
the home crowd has been so far really good? Um, obviously your typical
41:28
midweek games are a little slow, but Thursday through Saturday and even Sundays now
41:32
we're like, are really picking up just because it's a good place to get
41:36
out of the house, go somewhere like cheap and have fun. I mean
41:40
really, we want it price to where it's reasonable for every family, and
41:44
that's that's what we've done. And we've seen an increase in attendance this year,
41:47
especially on Thursday nights and on Saturdays. I mean we were I don't
41:52
want to say sold out, but we were sold out two weeks ago on
41:55
a Saturday because of the fireworks and just everything we have going on. So
42:00
it's definitely fun. People are showing out, especially on our social media.
42:04
We can see that people are supporting us, and it's it's it's cool to
42:07
see for me, because that's what we're trying to do, is just build
42:09
the brand and tell everyone please come. It's fun. We want you to
42:14
have fun and we want to help you and get you out of the house
42:15
and everything. How has it worked out with the cash lest system that you
42:20
guys announced earlier this season, because I know it was a little bit of
42:22
a little bit of pushback on this show. Old people like me, you
42:24
know, had had a little bit of a problem with it. But how's
42:28
how's it worked out so far? There have been no issues. Um,
42:30
obviously, you know, people have their opinions and things. But on our
42:34
end, we have had no issues because we've got those cash cards where you
42:37
can exchange your cash for a card. It's like a gift card. Um,
42:40
you know. Our bit new business manager Ben Blum, he can't say
42:45
enough about him. He's absolutely amazing and he has really stepped up and is
42:47
making everything work and it's really good. Good, all right, eaton.

43:15
we were playing as the Charleston Wheelers with the four or five first pitch,
43:17
and it's also a pregod a party. And then on Sunday we have a
43:22
game at four oh five, and then Monday is our Salute service night with
43:25
super megaplast fireworks. All right, you got all that out with no notes.
43:30
I know. I don't know how because it is so much. I
43:31
was trying to talk last night on field and I was just all over the
43:36
place with everything. All Right, Dan, it's always a pleasure to have

47:54
Not got a couple of texts here. Text says too bad in the front
47:57
office. Once the Dirty Bird's name, the Wheelers name and logo seems much
48:01
more representative of Charleston. Um. You know, it's kind of interesting because
48:06
what happens is is sometimes when there's a big splash made about things. And
48:08
I remember, you know, the middle of the season when the Dirty Birds
48:12
changed their name, um, you know, from From the Power to the
48:15
Dirty Birds, And it was all the rage, and people called the show
48:19
and I talked about it, and they text the show and so on and
48:21
so forth. Somehow we managed to get over it. Uh. And now
48:24
and and I understand and talking ed and I thought, you know, I
48:28
was wondering if they were going to do any kind of a m any kind
48:31
of sales or promotions with the with the Wheelers merchandise when he plays the Wheelers
48:36
over the weekend. But they're really trying to push that Dirty Bird's logo out
48:38
there and the name. And I know, not everybody likes it. Not
48:42
everybody likes any nickname. Uh. And I get that, especially change.
48:45
We're not big on change, especially us old people here meaning me, not
48:50
big on change sometimes. But you know, it's been a it's been a
48:52
success. And the merchandising is selling, and sometimes it's not just about selling
48:57
to your hometown. It's about selling to the world online and so on and
49:01
so forth. And the dirty Bird's logo is really taken off. And you
49:06
know, that's kind of the future of minor league baseball is having I don't
49:09
want to see outrageous names, but having different names other than just the Tigers
49:14
and you know, the lions and other animals and so on and so forth.
49:16
So is what is. I had a text to the show. Somebody
49:20
asked about the air quality level as it in Regatta. So I text Brian
49:23
Hughes Meteorology just Captain Brian Hughes and ask him about it, and he texts
49:30
me back. Of course, I said the show must go on. But
49:31
he also said the rain tonight and tomorrow will get rid of the smoke.
49:37
So saith Meteorologies. If Brian Hughes the smoke is a thing of the past
49:40
after the rains we have tonight and tomorrow according to meteorology, just Captain commodore

50:15
Kanon County Prosecutor Chuck Miller said yesterday he feels that his office made the right
50:21
decision to have the office his office removed from this lewd behavior allegation against Canon
50:29
County Commission President Kent Carper. You'll you'll recall that Miller asked a circuit judge
50:35
to remove his office from the case and to have a special prosecutor named.
50:38
The judge said okay to that, and the Logan County Prosecutor David Wandling was
50:43
appointed as a special prosecutor. Wandling then asking the state police to take over
50:50
the investigation that was following the public release of the emails which we talked about
50:53
that allegedly sent by Kent Carper after a police were called to Daniel Boone Park.
50:59
Going back to the middle of Wandling is upset that the Kanaw County Commission
51:06
or their reps his words, released information that, he says Wandling is information
51:12
that was not made available to his office. Wandling told the Charleston Get Mail
51:17
that on Friday. Going back to Judge Miller, he says it would be
51:21
improper for his office to handle the case since the commission is who works with
51:27
the office closely on budgets and whatnot. Prosecutor I should say, not judge
51:30
prosecutors and whatnot. That saga will continue again. Jeff Jenkins with the story
51:34
