3:06
with our dot me please ped it the week. But before we get to
3:08
Hannah, I just want to say a big thank you to everyone who helped
3:12
make our first end you Will Thornhill Ido group dropped your socks campaign for Mountain
3:15
Missions such a huge success. Yesterday this station Superstar Country KWSV one hundred to
3:21
beat the Mountain ESPN Radio KAZ all of us spent a cold day out on
3:25
the parking lot yesterday here at eleven eleven selecting socks to be given to the
3:30
needy courtesy of Mountain Mission. And you hear me say it all the time.
3:35
We simply have the best listeners in the world. So thank you so
3:38
much to all of our listeners to Thornhill and also to check theil A for
3:42
providing us with some free lunch too. You guys are the greatest. We've
3:45
got lots of pictures posting all our social media, so if you get a
3:49
chance to check those out, all right, Hannah Gardner is here with our
3:52
dop me. Please put it the week from the Kenala Charles Muntains Association.
3:54
Hannah, good morning, how are you. How are you? I'm doing
4:00
fine. You enjoy this ballmy eighty five degree weather? Oh yeah for sure.
4:04
Yeah. I did want to mention I was checking out your guys social
4:08
media. I think you guys are gonna have to close the shelter today,
4:11
Is that right? Yes, yes, the shelter is close to the public
4:14
today, but we still have any employee there that we can get there safely
4:19
to help us clean channels, help us get everything done safely and in a
4:24
timely manner for everybody to hopefully get home if they need to to. Yes,
4:29
we will be closed today, but you do have as you said,
4:30
you do have bodies in the building because you have to have people up there
4:33
to get to look after the critters and whatnot. But it is closed to
4:38
the public, so anything we talk about today, you can't go to the
4:41
shelter to day. Hopefully you'll be able to get open once we get all
4:44
this nasty yet weather behind us. Let's talk about our adopt me please spend
4:46
of the week. His name is Still and As always, the picture is
4:49
posted on Dave Island Radio, on Facebook and on AX the artists wiming known
4:54
to Twitter, but this time around Hannah not just a picture. Bill has
4:58
his own reels video. Now that's a first for the Adopt Me Please pet
5:02
of the Week. I just saw that on your Guy's page a couple of
5:05
days ago, so so just putting the picture up, I shared that the
5:09
reels the video. Phil's got his own music video. He's a start out.
5:13
Tell us about Phil yees So he is about ten months old. He's
5:20
not fixed yet, but he definitely will be. He is micro chips and
5:26
vaccinated, so he is ready to go home. He came in as a
5:30
stray to us, so we don't really know like his back history or anything
5:34
like that, but we definitely know what we know since he's been with us,
5:39
and he has been nothing but just a ball of energy and super playful.
5:46
He loves attention from people and other dogs from what I've heard. I
5:50
haven't seen him with the other dogs in the playgroups, but I do know
5:55
that he does go to playgroups. He's got so much energy, so he
6:00
would do well with another dog that has energy likes him. But he would
6:04
also do fine, I'm sure on his own if you are an energetic person
6:09
yourself, or maybe like an outstorsy person who likes to go on hikes,
6:14
or even if you have like a big yard or a dec size yard for
6:17
him to just run around him and throw the ball. He definitely loves playing
6:21
with toys. He has also very much loves treats as well. So he's
6:28
a puppy. That's pretty much what he is. He's still learning how to
6:31
walk on the leash and everything. He's just got a lot of energy,
6:34
so he definitely needs someone who's patient with him and can maybe help him.
6:41
He kind of guided into the right direction with training and everything. But other
6:44
than that, he is a very very sweet pup. He is about thirty
6:48
six ish pounds and growing. I'm sure he's going to be a little bit
6:54
bigger of a boy, i'd say, but he's very sweet and I love
6:58
him. He's always in the back office, usually play and running around.
7:01
I do get to see her well. He's a beautiful dog. And again,
7:05
if you want to go, not only can you see the picture,
7:08
but you could also go see the video the reels as I think they call
7:11
it, that you folks did. He's absolutely absolutely beautiful dog. So if
7:15
you get a chance, go check it out. And I want to talk
7:16
about the weather, since that's what everyone's talking about. Any changes and when
7:21
we have this it seems like this winter has gone on, you know,
7:25
for six months, and it's actually only been a week of this. Any
7:29
changes though that you guys would need for food, blankets or or do you
7:33
tend to have more last adoptions when we have a harsh winter. What kind
7:36
of changes come with snowy winter weather? So usually yes, whenever it is
7:44
snowier, we don't really have as many people, but as many people come
7:47
up to the shelter to adopt. But we still do see quite a few
7:54
adoptions on snowy days. Just the other day when we had a snowy day,
8:00
we were still open to the public and everything, and we had quite
8:03
a bit of adoptions. We had bread under tin I think adoptions. But
8:07
it was very very nice to see that, you know, we're still are
8:11
getting the dogs out and as far as stuff that we need, I know
8:16
that we're still needing blankets and towels and all that same stuff that we have
8:20
been needing, especially crash blankets to snuggling. I know that we were kind
8:26
of running a little bit low on those, so any extra blankets or sheets
8:33
or any kind of old throws or anything that you have, we would definitely
8:37
appreciate those. And then we also, of course are I think we were
8:41
low a little bit on peering a dog chow and paper towels as well,
8:45
So we definitely could use some of those things. And that's a great way
8:48
to help out the shelter because I mean, if you're like, if you're
8:52
an animal lover, I know people, you know they have restrictions on the
8:54
amount of animals that they can have, maybe they live in a situation where
8:58
they can't even have a pet or whatever. But if you love animals and
9:00
you want to help out, that's an opportunity and a great way to do
9:03
it. It's just by donations, whether it's cash donations or whether you said
9:07
just some blankets and towels and things of that nature. And Hannah, I
9:09
know, with the bad weather, you folks haven't really had the chance to
9:11
get out at about like you normally do. But the weather's going to get
9:15
better. At least there's no snow or ice or cold temperatures. Forecasts for
9:18
next week, so hopefully we'll have you guys out and about and doing your
9:22
adoption events out in public like you normally do. Yes, yes, we
9:26
definitely hope so. And we are definitely taking the precautions with the dogs that
9:30
we take out the play groups every day. You know, they might not
9:33
be able to stay out as long as they normally do just because of all
9:35
the ice and the cold. So yeah, we're definitely doing everything they can.
9:39
And again you'll be out there again real soon. All right, before
9:41
we let you go, someone asked me to ask you about the cat situation
9:46
at the shelter, because we always seem like to be focused on dogs,
9:48
but somebody had actually texted me and said to ask Hannah about the cats.
9:52
How's the cat situation looking at the shelter? So I know that currently right
9:58
now, we don't have too many cats. I know that we have been.
10:05
Of course, we have our usual in Captain foster that are maybe not
10:11
quite ready for adoption yet, so we have to make sure that we keep
10:13
some kennels open for those that come back from foster. So of course we
10:18
have some open cages and stuff, but I believe we don't really have very
10:22
many cats available for adoption right now. But that is you know, it
10:28
is the beginning of the year and here in a couple of months, kitten
10:33
season will be hitting again, so we're trying to prepare for that kitten seasons
10:37
like you know baseball season. It's the time the spring to sign. The
10:39
spring is here, I guess when the kitten season? All right, Hannah,
10:43
Stay safe and again the shelter will be closed to the public today,
10:46
but there will be people on hand. If you have any questions or comments,
10:50
you need to get in touch with the posts. You can today,
10:52
but they are closed to the public because of the of the weather. Stay
10:56
safe and we'll talk again next week. Thanks a lot, thank you,
11:00
and a garden from the Kenall Trost Humane Association with this week's Dot be Pleased

Pet of the Week again, it's Phil Love The name Phil is ten months
11:09
old. He's not fixed yet, but he will be micro chipped and vaccinated.
11:11
Cavin is a stray fully sponsored I meaning he's free and that's courtesy of
11:16
the good folks at Coldwell Insurance Agency. Extremely playful, loves attention, very
11:22
energetic. Pulls on the leash just a little bit, but that could be
11:24
worked through with a patient person probably need to have a big yard for to
11:26
play in. And again I urge you to go to Dave Allen Radio on
11:31
Facebook and look at the reels video that they put together with Phil. I
11:35
mean, this guy is a star. He's already got his own music and
11:37
he's got everything there. So go check out Phil on the Dave Allen Radio

Doug Chivllei of the West Virginia Virtual Academy joins us now, Doug, good
15:22
morning, how are you. Good morning, Dave. I'm doing very well.
15:26
How are you? I am doing fine. You know there's snow everywhere
15:30
today in the Canal Valley. Had to ask it's today a snow day for
15:33
the Virtual Academy kids. It actually is not. We do have that option
15:39
for our kids. But we started our second semester on Tuesday, and from
15:43
where we are a virtual school, we took advantage of this time to make
15:48
sure that we got our kids all ready to go for second semester so we
15:50
can hit the ground run in next week. So we don't have too much
15:56
in store form today, but we do have some stuff that we got to
15:58
take care of. Well, hopefully they'll be I'll get out there to enjoy
16:03
this a little bit. So I understand that School Choice Week is coming up,
16:07
What exactly does that mean to what goes on with school Choice Week?
16:11
So National School Choice Week is a national week where across the country there's a
16:18
lot of different organizations that set up events where different vendors can come in and
16:25
talk about all the different options that are available for educating the kids. In
16:32
West Virginia, there's an event tomorrow knock on Wood that it's still able to
16:37
be held. It's going to be in Beckley at the Convention Center, I
16:41
believe, from ten to two. And then there's another event next Saturday on
16:48
the twenty seventh up in Morgantown. And basically, you know, you might
16:52
have Kenall County, Fayette County come to the one in Beckley, along with
16:57
homeschool families, growth schools, private schools, charter schools. Obviously, we're
17:03
going to have a booth at both events where if families are interested in learning
17:07
about what we provide at West Virginia Virtual Academy, we'll have staff on site
17:11
to answer questions and you know, get to know families if they're interested in
17:15
learning about remote learning. And this is an opportunity, as you said,
17:19
when you have these different events. I know you've had them throughout the state,
17:22
Doug. As you said, you got one coming up in Beckley and
17:25
also one in Morgantown. It's an opportunity for people just to come and get
17:27
information about it. And as you said, all of the the and I
17:32
don't know what term that you prefer to use, but I guess the non
17:34
traditional systems of learning are represented from homeschooling, the charter schools and things of
17:40
that age. Just the opportunity for parents to come and get information. Yes,
17:45
and we always have you know, some administrators and teachers, so you
17:49
know, I remember last year we were in Morgantown and our second grade teacher
17:53
was there and there was families that were interested in their child signing up to
18:00
to be in second grade, and so they got to meet you know,
18:03
the teacher and talk to them and meet him face to face. And I
18:07
think it's good for families to understand that while we are a virtual school,
18:11
we are out in the public. We do a lot of field trips where
18:15
we have face to face events for the socialization aspects for families, and we
18:21
just we enjoy getting out there and meeting families who are interested in school choice
18:23
and letting them know, you know, we're an option and we'd love to
18:29
help if they think that we could. Starting to Doug tub Letty again to

18:55
Meeks dot Us. Doug, you know, I guess we're nearing the midway
18:59
point I would think of the school year, and I'm talking about public schools
19:03
now And as we arrive at that point, do we generally see a lot
19:07
of parents making the switch to a different type of learning, virtual schools,
19:14
homeschooling, whatever. At this time of year, is this when you start
19:17
to get a few more phone calls or is it the same? How does
19:19
that work? We generally do in December and January. As you know,
19:26
a lot of times families want to finish the semester, you know, with
19:29
where the kids are, it's less disruption on their education. But we're actually
19:34
we're over twelve hundred kids now, so we have tripled in growth since we
19:40
started the school, and we continue to see. We probably have three hundred
19:45
new kids starting with us that started with us second semester. So there's a
19:49
lot of families that I think learn what we have to offer. You know,
19:53
I talked to a mom the other day and explain that we have an
19:57
agreement in a partnership with Peer Pont Community College, which you know, I'm
20:02
happy to share with the audience. We just had our first group of kids
20:04
actually earn credit college credit through Peer Pont last semester, and they're signed up
20:11
again this semester. So as families learn what we're able to provide their their
20:17
interest is piqued and they realize that they're they're going to have the opportunity for
20:22
their children to be educated at a very high level with a lot of individualized
20:29
support and just a lot of options for kids. So, yes, we
20:36
have seen growth in the past couple months, and you know, I think
20:41
we'll continue to see that throughout second semester the summer. We're adding twelfth grade
20:45
next year. I think I've told you. You know, we started off
20:48
as K ten, we added eleventh grade this year, We're adding seniors next
20:52
year. I wouldn't be surprised if we're serving two thousand kids next year.
20:57
Wow, that's amazing. Don't chib letty for the Western NI Virtual Academy.
21:02
And I think it's important, Doug to to and I don't want to put
21:06
words in your mouth that I think to kind of put it out there that
21:07
you folks and the folks that do this for a living, your group or
21:11
others, you're not the enemy of the public school system. Uh. You
21:15
are just giving parents another option. And if and as you have said on
21:19
the show before, if if a child is doing well, they're thriving in
21:22
the public school system, whether it's here in the Kenaw Valley or wherever it
21:26
is, then more power to them. Uh. And that's that's awesome.
21:29
I actually had a member of the legislature on not long ago, on the
21:32
show, Doug and she had she had had three or four kids and some
21:37
some home, some were homeschooled and somewhat to public schools. So so again
21:41
it's not necessarily an adversarial relationship that you have here. You're just you're offering
21:45
parents just another option if they choose that we we are and I just I
21:51
do just want to clarify for the listeners. We are a public school.
21:53
Uh Okay, you know we have to we have to administer you know,
21:57
the required some of assessments. We you know, our juniors were serving this
22:03
year. We have to provide them the s a t uh you know,
22:06
so they'll be getting together here in a couple of months. So so we
22:08
we are a public school. There's no tuition, you know. So we
22:12
it's we are just another school that families can do from the you know,
22:19
the comfort of their own home. Which that that's something that we we have
22:25
really found with families is and this was sort of an Uh I didn't I
22:32
didn't realize what a benefit this was to families. But we talked to some
22:37
families the other day and they were just noting how much closer their family was
22:42
because the the the adults in the house are much more engaged with their their
22:48
child's learning because they're sitting you know, they're they're helping them, and so
22:52
they're they're connecting with the teacher on a much more regular basis. But because
22:56
they have that time together during the day that the family relationships are are much
23:03
much stronger as a result of just being more involved and being with their kids
23:08
every day, you know, which is which is a beautiful benefit for families.
23:15
And I know some families want this option, but they can't afford it.
23:19
You know, there's no tuition. You know, we're just public school.
23:22
We give them computers, we give them all the resources to be successful.
23:29
You know, we're just We're able to provide things for families that I
23:33
don't think anybody else can. And the proof is in the pudding. We've
23:37
got a lot more families coming and we just continue to grow. It's a
23:44
it's a good position to be in. Thanks to be let me again from
23:48
the Western Universal Academy, and I appreciate you making that distinction. Eventually,
23:49
i've had you on the show four or five times. I'll get that through
23:52
my head that it is a public school. I guess what I was trying
23:55
to say was that you're not adversarial to to more traditional school system. This
24:00
is this is a public school here we're talking about. You kind of touched
24:04
on this a little bit, but yeah, I know we like to kind
24:07
of highlight some some success stories. Uh and you you sort of mentioned some
24:12
impasts. There are any other particular success stories that you'd like to share,
24:15
whether they we don't need names or anything like that, but a need to
24:18
come off the top of your head, you know, this is this is
24:25
something where there's so many just excellent stories of families. We got an email,
24:33
uh the other day from from a student they joined us back in the
24:40
fall, and they they essentially told us what an awful experience they had.
24:47
They were they were bullied by not only their classmates, but but actually you
24:51
know, some of the adults, and they were real apprehensive and uh,
24:56
basically it was just a thank you email, you know, thanking the the
25:00
teachers in the administration just for for how much they cared and how compassionate they
25:06
were and how much respect they were treated with and and that I mean,
25:10
we we hear that all the time from families. You know, they just
25:14
didn't they weren't getting what they needed in a traditional setting and they get it
25:21
with us, and it's and I will just I can't ever not compliment everybody
25:29
that works at the school. I think the staff members that we have are
25:36
the most compassionate, caring educators I've had the pleasure of working with. And
25:41
I think, you know, word of mouth. I think when a family
25:45
has a good experience and they start telling their friends about this amazing teacher,
25:52
yeah, other people in the community are saying, wait, you mean you
25:55
mean there are teachers that do that. Yeah, and we do. We
26:00
have an amazing staff that are the driver of all of those success stories.
26:07

26:11

28:41
don't know can hurt you, and you know, I want to go ahead
28:42
and get this before we go to break Ryan. That was I got a
28:47
text from my good friend Joe Stevens. Joe he is a frequent guest on
28:51
the show, and he's kind of like a few other people I know,
28:53
he does two or three different jobs. And one of the things that Joe
28:59
does, addition to kind of being the spokesperson for the city at Titro,
29:02
Joe is also I think the head or not he should be, of the
29:07
of the Ski Association of West Virginia. Every time that Joe hears me go
29:11
on the air and say refer to this snow as being nasty, he reminds
29:15
me of what a multimillion dollar a year industry that the skiing industry is in
29:21
West Virginia, and how they love this stuff and point well taken, Joe,
29:26
and Joe actually is going to be on the show next Tuesday to talk
29:30
about that. But by that time temperatures are going to be warming up.
29:33
But the ski season will continue. And as I sit here in my home
29:36
and I'm watching the snow continue to fall, I may refer to it as
29:40
nastiness, and you may refer to it but there's a lot of people that
29:42
like it that it does bring a whole lot of money to West Virginia.
29:45
So point well taken, Joe, We'll take a break. We'll be back.
29:48

32:22
Tracker thirteen whither joined us right now, Spencer, good morning, how are
32:25
you? Hey? Good morning? How are you Dave. I'm doing fine.
32:29
You know, I was hanging out there last Friday, I told the
32:31
listeners I went to I had to do some recording there for a television spot
32:37
that I did, and I came by thirteen there and one of our one
32:39
of the sales weasels there, Rich West hooked me up with a Spencer Adkins
32:44
bobblehead limited Edition Spencer Adkins bobblehead and it's actually in the control room at eleven
32:52
eleven. I am at my home today, but you are watching things there
32:55
at eleven eleven in the far More store studio. Just so you know your
32:58
bobblehead. Oh, it's fantastic. Always unduty then that. I love that.
33:02
That's great, all right, I got I missed this top of the
33:06
show, Spinser. This has been the longest winter in history and it's all
33:09
been in one week this winter ever talk about that. Yeah. So it's
33:16
funny because a couple of different people I was talking to and Brian who was
33:22
up this morning working behind the scenes. Uh, he's had a little bit
33:24
of work done on his foot, so he's doing okay, now, but
33:28
he was actually doing the computer. He says he realized all the schools in
33:30
West Virginia are closed. I said, okay, that's interesting. Well,
33:34
I mean you can kind of see that. That makes sense. And then
33:37
I talked to Joe Stevens, who's with, you know, the skiing.
33:40
He's someone I've already heard from Joe this morning. I've already heard it.
33:45
He's taken issue with me because I referred to it his nastiness, and he's
33:47
already texted me out Spencer and said, this is gold falling from the sky,
33:51
was what he's saying. Yes, well, so he says, every
33:53
what, every skiing facility is over, every whatever we call ski runs And
33:58
I said, so all the schools are closed, and all the steam stuff
34:00
it is open. Oh yeah, we haven't had anything like this forever.
34:05
That's just that's the way it's been. And so this is what we had
34:07
two point seven two point nine inches of snow all last winter. This year
34:14
we just had that this morning. So it's amazing that we've really changed things.
34:19
And what's also really odd is that you know El Nino, well,
34:22
this is supposed to be let's snow of the normal well, okay, normal
34:27
would be about I think it's something in the upper twenties twenty some inches.
34:31
Well, last two years were the opposite with La Nina. We were supposed
34:35
to have more snow, we didn't have any. Here we are, we're
34:37
supposed to have less and we've had more. So this is why I don't
34:40
give them the real long term stuff. Seven days is about long enough to
34:45
do with. Yeah, And I'm sitting here in my home right now Today's
34:47
Valley looking at it. It is still it is still pouring down here in
34:51
Tay's Valley right now. There's been no no let up. So what can
34:55
we look forward for the rest of the day and when this is all gonna
34:59
end? Right, So, you are on a patch of snow that extends
35:02
from you real strongly down to Madison Chatmanville, but that's going to slide east.
35:08
So this will go through the Charleston area, and you know we're talking
35:12
about before lunchtime. Then we'll get into some squalls. It'll turn very life.
35:15
We'll get into some squalls. You know. Coonis to the crews who
35:19
got out and salt is worked great because our temperature has been just below freezing,
35:23
so salt is really efficient. It's kind of a wet snow, so
35:27
this will melt. My problem that I have is that tonight it's like flash
35:31
free is We're going down to ten degrees tonight. So if you have all
35:35
this wet stuff sitting around, not necessarily great. It's oll came now to
35:38
drive onto the main roads. The back road's not great at all, but
35:43
areas that were that jumped on they really did a great job. But it's
35:45
all going to freeze up tonight ten degrees and the salt doesn't really work that
35:50
well. So late tonight, real early tomorrow morning probably going to be a
35:53
bit of a skating rink. Who on, everybody to be careful with that.
35:57
Then the next week we're in the fifties even close to and it's gonna
36:00
rain, and so then we'll watch small stream the crease might have some water
36:05
to watch out for. It's it's always something. And I would imagine that
36:09
the majority of you know, Friday not a big high school basketball night around
36:12
the state of Western Gion. I'd imagine that all the games. I would
36:15
think that would all be canceled. And I know we have the West Virginia
36:17
Hunting the Fishing Show going on over to colle team the convention center. That
36:21
is still going to going to be going on. So by the time let's
36:24
say Sunday rolls around, we're still gonna be quite cold, but the system
36:29
will be well out of here by that point. Yeah, exactly, So
36:32
things will turn sunny. It's gonna be a retal brisk single digits. Then
36:37
on Sunday night and then Monday night, then we just really big gonna warm
36:40
up. It's just unbelievable. I will turn the corner into the forties in
36:45
fifties, so we do see this. By the way, today is the
36:47
thirtieth anniversary, thirtieth anniversary of just a Monster cold Snap. It was sixteen
36:53
below in Charleston in the morning, nineteen ninety six from this day. And
37:00
it's funny how it must have been something that I completely wanted to get repressed.
37:06
I can't remember it, but I look back at the status and I
37:08
go, oh, that must have been really bad. It was like Page
37:12
Valley was like, oh, it's like twenty five below up. I recall,
37:15
right, I mean, just just unbelievable. So yeah, I remember
37:19
it. I remember it well. Nasty nasty stuff. How was the uh
37:23
and I know you said, and I appreciate you know, the fact that,
37:28
uh that that you guys are honest in your forecasting and what not saying
37:31
that the other guys are right. I'm not saying that, but I'm saying
37:34
you got you guys just kind of put it out there is okay, this
37:37
is this is real, this is what this is what we can expect that
37:38
you don't really get into long range calls. But I'm going to ask you
37:43
to do that for a moment. Uh so, for for the rest of
37:46
the winner. I mean, what's your overall and I'm not asking specifics overall
37:52
forecast for the rest of the winter because a lot of us are already over
37:54
it and it's only been going on for about four or five days, right,
37:58
Yeah, exactly. Some did mention that to me. They were like,
38:00
you know, it's just the old boh when I was a kid,
38:02
we had loner winners. Well we kind of did, but yeah, in
38:07
one week we picked up twice what we've had in the past year. You
38:12
know, again, kind of just looking at the second half of the month
38:15
that seem warmer February, you know, not really studying too much long range
38:21
at the back out of it too much. But I'm not gonna be surprised
38:23
if we don't see another two or three of these kind of episodes. It's
38:28
just active patterns. Active. We've been seeing things come out of the Northwest
38:31
that kind of pivot all the way down to the Gulf and then they pop
38:35
right back up our way, and you know, you see that wave train
38:38
until you don't in my end of the game. So you're saying two three
38:44
more of these, I think this is the year. And you know that's
38:47
that's It's one thing that I noticed too. They got a lot of salt.
38:52
You know why, because it's a contracted thing, and so they didn't
38:57
use any of the past two years. They're they're good, they're ready.
39:00
We can handle that if we get another two or three of these. And
39:02
we've been spoiled, as you said, the last couple of winters. I
39:06
mean, we haven't had a whole lot to deal with Spencer, and so
39:08
we've been kind of spoiling. You know, last year we had that real
39:12
cold snap around Christmas and then that was pretty much it after that. You
39:15
know, it is true. I did ask a couple like O Dot and
39:20
some other people. They said, yeah, well, we can track all
39:22
that stuff, so we get x tons, we didn't use it. The
39:24
next year we got the same amount and we didn't use it, so got
39:28
basically two years were at the salt sitting there, so there's only no excuse.
39:31
So in the not you saw and they used it healthily around town and
39:34
Charles so I can tell you that did a wonderful job everywhere the salt was
39:37
put down. So you know, we complained about the potholes, we grabed
39:39
about the roads, but I'll hit my hat when they did a good job
39:43
on the main road. They did a good job today. All right,
39:45
before we let you go, I'm gonna have a little fun with you here,
39:49
a little bit, you know, And I saw that sometimes, you
39:52
know, the world of social media is a is a wonderful thing until it's
39:57
not. Right at ido earlier the week there were people that were and I
40:01
guess some were well meaning, but other ones maybe just trying to stir some
40:06
stuff, you know, by taking older maps and sharing them. I mean,
40:12
again, I'm looking out my window right now. You said we had
40:13
about two or three inches of snow. Some airs g able bit more,
40:15
some areas get a little bit less. Certainly not the twelve to fifteen or
40:19
sixteen that was being shared on social media some old maps that you guys had
40:22
put up from Mike. I think it was like twenty sixteen or something like
40:25
that, and that's got to be frustrating for you guys. It is to
40:30
a degree. It's funny because when it first started happening, there was I
40:32
forget what year it was. So when we actually had the big twenty inches
40:37
and sixteen inches, this goes the way back, and you know, you
40:40
don't think that. I guess we should have always thought, make sure you
40:45
put a time stamp on it. Well, even now, the ones that
40:47
we do, we try and put in the corner, so it's kind of
40:50
obscure and people will either go click that out or then they'll re share something
40:53
old. So I just had a little fun and just call people. I'm
40:57
like, well, if you're all going to stir it, I'll stir it
40:59
back, you know whatever. But it's old, it's not, it's not
41:02
you know, you're right, some of that stuff you never think is going
41:07
to come back, and then it did. And so just be discerning.
41:10
When you see him at that looks like really big and you're like whoa nobody
41:14
else has got that. Go back and make sure that it's not something that's
41:17
old that somebody's repurposing just to get you going. There's a reason why nobody
41:22
else has that, because it's because those were four or five years ago.
41:24
Well, now, you know, being a big NFL guy, you know
41:28
in my season ended last Sunday with the loss of the Cowboys to the Packers.
41:31
I will say this all of my focus right now because I'm also a
41:36
Steelers fan. Who I know as a Cowboy fan, you're not supposed to
41:38
be a Steeler fan, but I'm kind of a Steeler fans there. I'm
41:42
putting all all of my interests and all my rooting powers behind Detroit from this
41:47
point forward. I love Dan Campbell, he former Cowboy. I watched him
41:52

47:15
down to run for the state Intermediate Court of Appeals. The board says that
47:21
they have narrowed down their choices now to five. There were sixteen candidates as
47:28
I understand, that has applied according to the board, and again they've narrowed
47:31
that field down to five. The term will run through June thirtieth, and
47:36
whoever is appointed will have to run for re election though during the primary.
47:40
The board says that they do plan to fill the seats soon. I think
47:44
we have a story posted about that the website. I know that we had
47:45
been following that story closely and as soon as we get who that person that
47:50
will be setting on the Kanawha County Board of Education is we will letting you
47:53
know about it. Dave Island Show and five eighty Live is brought to you
47:57
part by Border to Moregon, America's largest injury law firm. Well, I
48:02
like a lot of people will be carefully watching what happens at the State Republican
48:07
Party meeting that actually was scheduled to be held this weekend. But we understand,
48:14
I know Brad has a story posted about it that it actually has been
48:17
postponed. The State to GOP was set to meet this weekend in Charleston,
48:23
but because of the weather. I understand again Brad's got the full details on
48:27
that. I think that that meeting has been has been postponed. There is
48:31
a lot of a lot of goings on there. When they do eventually have
48:36
the meeting, they're going to be choosing a new head of the party,
48:39
as it is presumed that Elgia mccartial, who's on with Hope earlier this week,
48:45
is going to be stepping down to possibly run for a judicial position.
48:50
And of course the big story out of there the Republican Party and I talked
48:52
about this little on the show the last couple of days of the Republican Party
48:57
is looking at closing the the primary, meaning that only Republicans could vote for
49:04
Republican candidates now as it stands now again, and we've talked about this on
49:09
the show before, if I am a registered independent when I go into the
49:14
polling place, I can declare to a poll worker when I check in that
49:19
yes, I am an independent, unaffiliated, whatever the term. But I
49:23
would like to have a Republican or a Democratic ballot. And that's the way
49:30
it's been And this is not up to the Secretary of State's office. This
49:32
is actually up to the individual parties to decide this. Because somebody had asked
49:36
me that the other day. They said, well, how can the Republican
49:37
Party just change that, Well, they change it for their own party,
49:39
because they pretty much set that. Each party sets their own rules and so
49:44
up and on. Now it's been once known as an open primary. If
49:45
I am an independent, I could go in, I check in my polling
49:49
place, I'd say, hey, I am here, I'm here to vote.
49:52
I am a independent, but I would like a Republican ballot or a
49:55
Democratic ballot. There are some within the Republican Party who want to stop that
50:04
practice and allow only those who are Republicans to vote for other Republicans. And
50:12
I've said it before, just the opinion of me and the opinion of no
50:15
one else. I think it's a mistake on the behalf of the Republican Party.
50:21
There are a lot of people that are registered as independent or no party,
50:28
and a lot of those people tend to vote Republican. In West Virginia,
50:36
independent or no party is a pretty fast growing party or lack of party,
50:42
if you will, in the state. And if it goes down like
50:46
some would like in the Republican Party, then if I'm an independent when I
50:53
go to vote, I would only be allowed to vote for nonpartisan races,
50:58
you know, your school board adister and things of that nature. Now again,
51:04
I have been told by some people within the Republican Party that the reason
51:08
that they are doing this is that they want to weed out what they call
51:12
rhinos Republicans in name only. Not sure who made you God over all that,
51:19
but I do digress again, We'll see what happens. The meeting will
51:21
schedule for tomorrow and Charleston. I understand it's been postponed, so it'll probably
51:24
take that up. They when they actually do get the meeting in the filing
51:29
period. If you're going to run for office in midnight January twenty seventh,
51:32
that's one week from tomorrow. And as I told listeners yesterday, I want
51:36
to close with this, I'm going to have to start limiting the amount of
51:38
time that candidates will get on to be on the show. So if you're
51:44
a candidate for an office, and you get one shot on the show after
51:47
the filing period is over January twenty seventh, best way to get on is
51:52
to just drop me an email Dave dot allenwvradio dot com. Dave dot allenwvradio
51:57
dot com. Now, if if it's a legitimate news story, something out
52:01
of the legislature, or I need to put on a sheriff or the governor
52:05
or whatever, that's a little bit different. But just to get on and
52:07
just to talk about your candidacy, you get one time after January twenty seven.
52:12
Drive me an email, Dave dot alenwradio dot com. All right,
52:15
be careful on the roads today, folks, or better yet, just stay
52:17
in I got it. I'll be back on Monday. Google to throw a
52:21
Candida. Chris Miller will be with the Secretary of State Candida, Chris Fripp,
52:23
and Jesse Troyan from the Cardinal Institute on the show on Monday. Hi
