pleasure to welcome into the show and know where your love. The lovely and
3:00
talented Releie Snyder from the Shape Shop. How are you, dear? I
3:05
don't want to stop you please continue? How's it going? Very well?
3:07
Thank you? You're for lack of a better term, you're you're dripping,
3:12
you're snotting around this morning, you're getting stuff all over Well, I think
3:15
it's this spring. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I
3:19
don't know it's a change of seasons. But did it have to come on
3:22
with a vengeance? Yeah, gosh, it wasn't prepared to get a lot
3:24
of underwear. A lot of people, a lot of people are suffering right
3:29
now with seasonal things and it's only going to get worse. Count me among
3:32
them. And you know the cicadas are are they coming? This is seventeen
3:39
years? This is this this cicada year. I heard him talking about that.
3:43
I grew up with them in Baltimore. When I was growing up,
3:46
they were everywhere. But there's something going on and I just heard like bits
3:50
and pieces of it. And maybe I'll put our but I'll put the research.
3:55
I would like the research, but there's I want to stay in the
3:59
house. There's also something else going on in addition to the cicadas. There's
4:02
another sort of an invasion of some sort that's happened. I just heard a
4:05
bit, and this is how rumors get started. So I just heard bits
4:09
and pieces about it the other day. And it's the first time, I
4:11
cont two hundred years we've had these two things happen at the same time,
4:14
cicadas and locust or something. Well, it was two hundred years ago.
4:18
No, No, you were not responsible. How have you been other than
4:21
suffering from seasonal allergies and well, I have a touch of vertigo, which
4:26
is most interesting about that last time. Yes, and it's still with me,
4:30
but it's getting better, and I'm going to see a wonderful physical therapist
4:34
at the Generations and getting some help there. Okay, so there's not a
4:40
lot to do for it. I going to say, what is the treatment?
4:42
What do they do? The treatment is just to know which way to
4:45
move and which way not to move. And it's only happening now when I
4:48
sit up and when I lie down. I mean, what's the alternatives?
4:53
Have you set up? You lie down. I mean, there are no
4:55
alter they know what, they know what to call it, and it just
5:00
happens, and a lot of people suffer from it, some too greater extents
5:04
than myself. But it's actually eased up a little bit because I was walking
5:09
around like foggy all day and somebody said, so, what's new. But
5:14
it has cleared up, and I'm grateful for that lay off. The bourbon
5:16
girl. Oh yes, because that oh rock gut So my doctor gave me
5:21
something to take for dizzyness and it made me feel like I was drinking rock
5:26
gut wine, not that I know what that take. How do we know
5:30
what part of the Mediterranean diet is mad Dog part of her boons from.
5:32
I think it's on the unpublished page. Like the dark Web, there is
5:38
a dark Webran die. So spring is officially here. It came in a
5:43
little after eleven o'clock tonight, Millie. What is your favorite season? All
5:47
of them? Okay, truly, I really am a four season girl.
5:51
Now when the snow gets up to my nostrils, that's a little bit too
5:56
much, but I really am a four seasoned person. Yeah, I love
6:00
it. I love every season And that might sound a little strange a lot
6:04
of people. I grew up in it, I live in it, and
6:08
I love it. And this time of year you could get all four seasons
6:12
in one day. Yes, I mean, that's one of the great things
6:14
about Away. I mean when we woke up Tuesday morning. Truly, I'm
6:17
talking about long underwear. Not that I have any, but if I had
6:21
some, I would have return it on Tuesday morning. Write this down,
6:25
Ryan, We've got rot gut, rot, gut, wine and long underwear
6:30
on the show today. This may be because a good comedian could do something
6:33
wonderful with that. And you're talking to her. Yeah, do you And
6:38
you don't sew either one of those at the Shape Shop rot gut No,
6:41
No, not yet. Do you sell at the Shape Shop? What's new
6:43
at the Shape Shop? Oh? Everything. We are making some of the
6:46
most wonderful fresh meals. And I have to tell you, Dave, there's
6:49
new research that's coming out every day in the fact that when we eat clean
6:56
and we eat fresh, we are giving ourselves a gift. And it's not
7:00
just about what we eat at the moment, but what it does in our
7:04
bodies. Moving forward, there's going to be some research coming forward that in
7:11
our lifetime, by cleaning up what we eat, we're going to be able
7:15
to avoid some of the heeneous diseases such as Alzheimer's, or make it so
7:21
much more palatable for the body to deal with. Because we are what we
7:28
eat. And that's not a Millie Snyder ism. That happens to be a
7:31
fact. And I can't emphasize it enough. What we do at Shape Shop
7:36
is small in comparison to what we want people to do in their life.
7:43
You know, I now added I now have two Mediterranean groups. I teach
7:47
a group on Tuesday, pardon me, on Thursday morning at nine point fifteen,
7:53
and on Saturday morning at nine o'clock. And we chose Saturday because a
7:58
lot of people for this reason and the other can't get in on a Thursday,
8:03
so there's an option for Saturday. But in addition to and it's not
8:09
just weight loss, but it's learning how to take care of yourself and all
8:13
the people that you hold dear in your life. Because if we understand that
8:18
the beauty of a meal is not just to hurry up and put it together
8:22
so everybody's happy, Let's make it devoid of chemicals and preservatives. Because that's
8:28
stuff that our body doesn't know how to handle, and it creates havoc inside.
8:35
And the researcher, especially around dementia and Alzheimer's, is going to shock
8:41
us as we continue to learn more and more about it. We need the
8:48
gift of bringing it into our lives and eating as healthy as we can,
8:52
not depriving ourselves at any level. My God, with Mediterranean you eat better
8:58
than you've ever eaten. But people are afraid of the word diet. And
9:01
of course right now we're living in a revolution of people losing weight with medication,
9:07
and I am very worried about it. There was a great big show
9:11
on Tuesday night. It was on television. Oprah Winfrey was the hostess.
9:20
And I think a lot of people are going to keep doing it, but
9:24
we don't know the downsides. We don't know what's going to happen later on.
9:28
Where was Oprah on? The whole thing is pro she's a user of
9:33
the injection, because Oprah is one of those people merely as you well know,
9:35
going back to the nineteen eighties, at the height of her popularity,
9:39
you know, she was a larger person and then she became like nothing.
9:43
I remember and then she was kind of up and then down, and then
9:46
she eventually came out and just said, look, be happy with who you
9:50
are and whatever that is for you. But I'm like you, you know,
9:58
I don't always do the healthiest things in the world. I'll be the
10:00
first to admit it, But I just I don't this whole thing with medication.
10:03
I'm a believer in the fewer medications that you take them. I second
10:07
that most the better. And I see people that are of all age groups,
10:13
not just older folks, I mean of all age groups, people you
10:16
know younger than I am, that are you know, starting their day with
10:18
a diet of ten to fifteen different types of pills. And there's no way
10:22
that that can be good for you, because what are you going to?
10:26
Where is your education happening? If you're just injecting something or taking a supply
10:33
of pills, you're not doing anything to make the changes. And as a
10:37
former franchise owner of weight Watchers, I can tell you I believe I've seen
10:43
them all and they don't have a pretty story to tell. As we get
10:48
to the end of that line, I hope it's going to be different this
10:50
time. I believe in helping people the most positive way. But I don't
10:56
see any positivity coming out. People want to quick fix, and that's just
10:58
too, that's just who we are. Like I got that since last Tuesday.
11:03
Yeah, and everybody wants a quick fix and they say, well,
11:05
what are you doing? And again this is the it's not that new because
11:09
you know, oh what twenty twenty five, as you said, you've seen
11:13
it all twenty five, thirty years ago, it was we're gonna do this
11:16
diet, and we're gonna do it. We're gonna we're gonna eat grapefruit,
11:20
you know, for for you know, seven seven days out of the week,
11:22
three meals a day, and see how that works out for you.
11:24
Whatever. That when she was nineteen and caused an ulcerated stomach ye because if
11:28
six grapefruits were good, she had ten. You know, everybody wants to
11:31
do it a little bit better than what the rules are. So what's the
11:33
average? Okay, I want to talk about Mediterranean diet. Give me an
11:37
average, and I know everybody's different, everybody has likes and displaces. Give
11:41
me an average day if I if I were doing the Mediterranean plan, give
11:46
me lunch, breakfast, and dinner, what would I have on my plate?
11:50
Well, I would I would start off with for breakfast, a poached
11:54
egg on whole grain toast, a couple pieces of fruit, maybe some yogurt
11:58
to go with that. Of course, everybody has to have their blessed cup
12:01
of coffee if they're a coffee drinker, and that can be one egg or
12:05
two and you can poach them, you can do them, you know,
12:09
any way you want. That's just a good substantial breakfast. For lunch,
12:13
you could have a piece of a baked salmon, a beautiful salad sprinkled with
12:18
some feti, cheese, maybe lettuce, tomato, the things that you like
12:20
to eat with that. If you want to have a whole grain with that,
12:24
you can, and there's some great whole grain breads out there. One
12:28
slice. And for dinner you might want to, you know, we don't
12:33
want to overdo the fish, but how about chicken and a baked potato with
12:37
one or two vegetables, maybe not the vegetables, and a salad. And
12:41
then for dessert, let's have a baked apple with sugar free whip topping,
12:46
or chocolate pudding with sugar free whip topping. And that's just a typical day.
12:52
Typical day, okay, and you teach all of this stuff. That's
12:56
the thing about if you want to learn about it. Each I sit in
12:58
the meeting room and I watch people just loving what's happening to them. I
13:03
have one lady who comes and she says, I've never felt better. Why
13:09
Because she's not including some of the chemicals that's in the processed food in her
13:16
body. She feels better, She has more energy. And what's better than
13:22
that being able to get up and do because you are what you eat,
13:26
and if you're eating better, you feel better. Now. It doesn't happen
13:30
dramatically. It doesn't happen like from two o'clock in the afternoon till four.
13:33
But let's do it for a couple of days. Let's get a good couple
13:37
of weeks under our belt, and let's talk about how good you feel.
13:41
Your blood pressure improves, your overall in, your overall stamina increases, and
13:48
those are things we can't put a dollar value to. Oh, well,
13:52
that's what it costs me. Where is the health store? Because I want
13:54
to go to it. You know, there is no place where you can
13:58
go and buy your health. We need to provide it for ourselfs all right,
14:03
before we let you go, don't go yet. I got to tell
14:05
you a couple of things. All right, Well, go ahead April first,
14:07
April fools Day, it's coming soon. I believe it's a Monday.
14:11
You need to check your calendar. On April Fool's Day, April first,
14:16
Shape Shop will celebrate Monday. It is, thank goodness, we will celebrate
14:22
our forty eighth year of having Shape Shop. Most of them were at Patrick's
14:26
Streep and now we're at seven oh six Central Avenue. And on that day,
14:31
from the minute we open until we close, everybody who comes in is
14:35
going to have a free ice cream gun, all right, and that could
14:39
be sugar free or it can it's allay April First. You can come in
14:43
early, then come back later, Okay, come back with with the disguise
14:46
on, yeah, or whatever. So that's one thing. What's the second
14:52
thing. The second thing is why I wanted to make a point to tell
14:54
you that I have a second Saturday morning Mediterranean group. But we are making
15:01
fresh, clean, fabulous food and we want people to avail themselves muffins without
15:07
real sugar, pastries without real sugar, and sugar's not our friend. Now,
15:13
some people don't like when I say that because they have one nerve left
15:18
and I'm standing on it. Got it. But the truth of the matter
15:20
is sugar tastes good in your mouth. But don't take my word for it.
15:24
Ask somebody who is a bonafide and knowledgeable person around nutrition. The Mediterranean
15:31
concept is not new. It's been around a long time. It came to
15:37
our shores in nineteen ninety three, and we're benefiting now if we put it
15:41
into work. But people have been eating it well before that. People of
15:45
that leneage just when it became popular, but there's people of that that's their
15:50
ancestral background. They've been eating that stuff. I made a statement to someone
15:52
and said, I think Jesus ate the Mediterranean way. I mean, what
15:56
supermarket did he go to? He had to eat fresh food. Yeah,
16:00
and there were no preservatives back in that time. And life is a gift.
16:07
Let's treasure it. Let's take better care of ourselves. Yeah, I'm
16:10
passionate about it because I believe in what I'm telling you. Bottle them on
16:14
social media and the address is seven zero six Central Avenue. We're just a
16:19
block and a half west of five Corners and we have new traffic lights at
16:25
five corners. Oh they're so big, it's wonderful. But we're up the
16:27
street from those big tracks and I plan on being there on April first too.
16:32
Please, you can have sugar free or you can have low sugar.
16:34
You'll have to decide between now and then. All right, sounds good?

19:22
is executive vice president and Chief Development Officer for the WVU Foundation. BJ,
19:26
good morning, welcome to the show. Hey, good morning, Dave,
19:30
thanks for having me, Thank you for being here. I know it's early
19:33
on and I also know the BJ that it's an online event, so I'm
19:36
not sure how tracking goes until it's all over, but any indication as to
19:40
how things are going so far? I was just checkond day where about eight
19:44
hundred ninety one thousand dollars already, So we're off to a great start.
19:48
That is awesome. That is awesome. And so it's an online event.
19:51
When did it officially start? Like at what time? Does it just midnight?
19:55
Or when did it divisially kick in. Yeah, started at midnight,
19:57
and we'll go through technically to go through three am, so we can be
20:02
sure to capture everybody on the West coast. Oh, I didn't think about
20:06
that, because I mean there's WVU folks everywhere. That's the thing. We
20:10
are everywhere, all over the country and around the world. So that's what
20:14
makes online so easy. People you know, don't have to worry about sending
20:17
a check. They could just go online and support the cause that's most important
20:21
to them. And this is the seventh straight year for this BJ, Is
20:25
that right. It is the seventh. We started in twenty seventeen, and
20:30
we've raised, not including the eight ninety four just told you about, we've
20:34
raised about sixty six million dollars from twenty eight thousand gifts over the course of
20:38
the program. Yeah. I was looking at some of your numbers when I
20:41
was prepared for the show. Over sixty six million dollars has been raised since
20:47
you started the thing. As you mentioned, I mean, that's a lot
20:48
of money. BJ, It is a lot of money. And you know,
20:52
it's become this day, it's become just a really fun day for the
20:56
entire institution. And I think that it builds a lot of energy around you
21:00
know, the entire entity of WVU, but also just among our donors who
21:04
really kind of have fun with the day. And you know, I like
21:08
to say that. You know, we're a large land grant institution with an
21:12
academic, medical center and branch campuses, and I believe there's virtually something for
21:18
every philanthropic interest folks might have at a place like WVU. And I want
21:22
to get into that. What exactly does the money go toward. I mean,
21:25
I know there's so many different things BJ, but give me, give
21:27
me just a few examples. Sure, well, you know we're always from
21:33
the academic side of the shop and student life side of the shop. We're
21:36
always talking about scholarship support because we know that scholarships will always be critically important
21:41
to the institution. But when we look beyond our traditional academic programs, we
21:47
also have our athletics program, our hospital system, again, our branch campuses.
21:52
You know, there are there are like fifty three hundred sons at the
21:56
WU Foundation, So there's there's real every potential use. But I will say,
22:03
to summarize, Scott wish to support supporting our hospital system, supporting our
22:07
athletics programs are kind of our over our highest priorities. And we also think
22:11
about our arts. Right, we have our college, your creative arts.
22:14
So pride that our band voice limitless. Yeah, talking to b J Davidson
22:19
again, who's executive vice president and Chief deal of a Development Officer for wu's
22:23
Foundation on their annual day of giving the day valence showing five eighty Live is
22:27
brought to you a part by Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law firm.
22:30
If you're injured, visit for the People dot com. B J,
22:33
I want to talk about the WVU of twenty twenty four. You know,
22:37
no doubt the college landscape has changed over the years with the advent of online
22:41
learning and such, but still obviously by the numbers that you've been able to
22:47
put up in this what's already started to day, going back to twenty seventeen,
22:51
there's still a lot of people that believe in the mission of West Virginia
22:56
University and that's not changed much over the years. No, but it really
23:00
has not. And I think, you know, people think about our graduates
23:03
or just friends in the institution. I think that folks understand that change is
23:11
a constant in the world that we live in, and you know, institution
23:15
go through changes, and people are really loyal to the institution. I believe
23:18
it's largely because of our you know, very specific land grant mission of servicing
23:26
the citizens of the state of West Virginia, and of course we go beyond
23:30
West Virginia, but that certainly is a critical part of who we are,
23:33
and we have extension agents in every county. You know, we are very
23:37
much a part of this state, and I think people rally around that.
23:41
Dave, Yeah, exactly. So give us all the information forgiving for this
23:45
day of giving. Sure, so if you want to go online and make
23:48
donations that day of Giving dot w v U dot e d U, and
23:56
that will take folks right to the site, all right. And if you
23:59
didn't care mat you out, a simple Google search will get you there.
24:02
So you did a great job on the social media. I was looking at
24:04
it last night. You know, you've got a lot of information available up
24:07
there as well. BJ. Best of luck, we have you on every
24:11
year to talk about it. Certainly worthwhile calls. I appreciate you taking time
24:14
out of your schedule to be here. Thanks a lot. Hey, great,
24:17
great Dave, Thanks for having me always good to talk to you.
24:18
All right again, BJ Davison again the executive vice president and chief Development Officer
24:23
for the WVU Foundation. Day of Giving again kicked off early, kicks off
24:27
at Midnight's going to go to about three eight. I love when Bj said
24:30
we go to at least three am because we want to get the West coast
24:33
people as well. So just go to that website he listen, or just
24:36
Google search or fight it on social media. And again the money race goes
24:38
to a lot of different things. At West Virginia University, Bigley Pickley Wiggley

24:52
south of Morgantown, the Herds women's basketball team is leaving to go to Blacksburg
24:57
today at two forty five from the Henderson Center. Come out and cheer them
25:02
off to a victory. Go Herd, says the textra. You know,
25:03
I had Rusty Web on the show yesterday, and Rusty was here to talk
25:07
about the opioid developments out of Cavill County. But obviously Rusty, as the
25:11
textra pointed out on the show yesterday, Attorney Rusty Webb is a big,
25:14
big supporter of women's athletics, and it really is great knowing that the find
25:19
that the NCAA Tournament is going on, the women's tournament, and we have
25:23
both WVU and Marshall taking part in that. Now I mentioned if WVU wins
25:29
their opening game, then they get to face Caitlyn Clark, who Here's what
25:33
I'm not a to be honest with you. I don't follow college basketballs maybe
25:37
as closely as I do other sports, but I will say, if you
25:41
want to know who Caitlyn Clark is, combine Michael Jordan, Lebron James,
25:47
and any other great players that you can name, and that's who Caitlin Clark
25:51
is. Well, that's who West Virginia is going to get if they win
25:52
that opening game. But going back to the Herd again, they play Friday
25:56
afternoon and the team is leaving to go to Blacksburg today. According to this
26:00
texture, big rally going on at the Henderson Center at two forty five that
26:03
days to come out and cheer them off to victory, says says a Texter,
26:07
And again, best will luck to West Virginia Universities women's basketball team as
26:11
well as Marshall's basketball team as well and the University of Charleston. They're men's
26:17

29:11
friend Fred Albert the American Federation of Teachers the year before we get to Fred,
29:15
I want to bring this up. It's partly personal here. I've been
29:18
asked to take part in an event tonight, and quite frankly, I don't
29:22
know what to expect. And for someone who has been in the public eye
29:26
or public year for the last thirty six years, I can't say that about
29:30
a lot of different events. The event is part of festival in conjunction with
29:33
the Western Indio Public Broadcasting Folks, and they do this once a month or
29:37
so. It's called Three Things, and they've asked myself and a couple of
29:40
others to get on stage and talk about ourselves. Our topic is, as
29:45
you may guess, three things. Subjects are my first, my favorite,
29:48
and my future. It's pretty simple, I guess. It starts at seven
29:52
at the John Old Dickinson Family Homeowners Education and Community Center on Court Straet eight
29:56
fifteen Court Street downtown Charleston towards open to six point thirty. Again, it
30:00
begins at seven tickets or ten dollars. In addition to probably broadcasting the festival,
30:03
the Glothalaty Foundation in the University of Charleston, Taylor Books and United Bank
30:07
also and its sponsored. Two other folks are involved on stage, Darrell Miller,
30:11
who is the founder and CEO of the Keep Your Faith Corporation, and
30:15
Jennifer Keener, who is a social worker. So it should be a lot
30:18
of fun. And I've got some information posted about it on my social media
30:22
pages. And I'll say this. As I was preparing my bio for Jeff
30:26
Shirley, who's the guy that puts this whole thing together, a couple of
30:29
weeks ago, I had to email them a bunch of stuff about me.
30:30
I realized all the stuff I do, and I thought, well, no
30:33
wonder, I'm always tired, you know here and the other jobs I do
30:38
and what I do on the other radio stations and ability whatever. But I
30:42
have a good time with it. So again, it's not boring. It's
30:45
never never boring to me me. So if you get a chance, come
30:48
out check it out. I'm looking forward to it tonight three things. I'll
30:52
let you know how it goes tomorrow morning. Fred Albert for the American Federation
30:55
of Teachers Here, Fred, Good morning, How are you, buddy?
30:56
Good morning, Dave. I'm doing well. How are you doing? Are
31:00
you familiar with this three things thing that they wrote me into. I've heard
31:02
it before and I'm sorry I have to miss it tonight. I have choir
31:04
practice at my church. I was singing the church choir at christ Church,
31:08
United Methodist, and I have choir practice or else I would come and see
31:14
you divulte your three things, first, favorite and future. Oh my,
31:18
so it's got more pretty heavy. It's got more f's than my high school
31:22
report card. So but speaking of it, was speaking of letter grades,
31:27
and we're gonna get into some specifics. I have you here today as a
31:32
teacher. What's your letter grade on the last legs of obsession? Overall?
31:36
Now know you got a grave on the curve and you can say, well,
31:37
this is good and that's bad. But I've asked several people uh to
31:41
give me. If you had to give an overall letter grade, Fred,
31:45
what would it be? I think maybe a C minus. Okay, that's
31:48
higher than some people gave it so C minus. Yeah, how did you
31:52
arrive at the c MIN. I'll on the spot there. But one of
31:55
the things that we always are encouraged by we have you turned that microphone over
32:00
showed a little bit there. We got a pay raise for our teachers and
32:04
service personnel, for public employees and for our state troopers. So that was
32:09
a good thing. The other thing that we didn't get, and I know
32:15
it's bear some controversy, is we have been asking for quite a few years
32:21
now for some help with pei A and with student discipline in our schools,
32:28
and that was Senator Grady. Of course, you know, did try and
32:34
did address that that bill didn't pass. Why do you think it didn't pass
32:38
for end Well, that's that's a good question. I mean, because you
32:42
know, Senator Grady is a is a Republican. She is an educator,
32:45
and she was one. She was on this show, she was on Hobby,
32:47
she was in the press, you know, really kind of beating this
32:50
thing about why we needed this thing, and it just didn't happen. And
32:53
she was I mean I heard her talking about it on Hoppy afterwards, you
32:57
know, and as a matter of fact, I might have her on this
32:59
show here soon. She was very, very upset about it. But why
33:04
do you think it didn't pass? I think there were some things in that
33:07
bill that maybe needed to be looked at a little bit more closely. You
33:12
know. I met with Senator Grady on several occasions and we spoke about this
33:15
bill. I supported it. Some of my members probably didn't. But teachers
33:22
and service personnel have an issue with the disruptive behavior that we're seeing in our
33:28
classrooms unlike years past. And I was going to say that, Fred,
33:31
not to interrupt you, but we're taking I mean, there was always the
33:35
kid, you know, And I've seen these things online people say the biggest
33:37
problems with students in public schools of the nineteen fifties as compared to today.
33:43
I went to school in the seventies and eighties. I talked a lot.
33:45
I know you find that hard to believe, Okay, I talked a lot.
33:49
We had gum chewers, We had people skipping classes, right. We
33:52
didn't have people assaulting teachers like we do now. We didn't have teachers,
33:57
bus drivers, custodians that were fearful for their own lives. And all you
34:01
got to do is just go on YouTube and pull up some videos. I
34:05
mean, there's some scary stuff happened in fred in our public schools, absolutely,
34:08
and we're seeing it in younger grades. Yeah, we've never seen before.
34:12
And so what this bill would have done, it would have basically,
34:14
I think it gave it gave the teachers more authority to get them out of
34:17
there, to give them you know, here's the bottom line, though,
34:22
these children, the children who are exhibiting these behaviors that are disrupting the classroom,
34:28
they need help. And I don't think the resources were provided necessarily in
34:32
that bill to find out what's causing this child to behave this way in school,
34:38
to not follow the teacher's instructions, disrupting the whole classroom. What do
34:45
they need? Is it mental help? You know? There are just so
34:52
many issues there. But I'm not really sure why the bill failed. It
34:57
passed in the Senate, it didn't pass in the House. Think that hopefully
35:00
it will come back. I don't think Senator Grady's going to give up on
35:04
it, because if you know Senator Grady, no, she won't, right,
35:07
and she did say many many times, you know, we've listened to
35:10
teachers because surveys were taken for a few years. We did a survey last
35:15
year with wv A. We went around the state. We listened to educators,
35:20
to parents, to legislators, to service personnel, to students and the
35:27
same thing. One of the big overriding issues in our schools is student discipline
35:32
and it's causing us to lose teachers, young teachers who just don't want to
35:37
come to school and get hurt. And there's so many different I mean,
35:39
and you and I could play psychologists on this all day, and it's been
35:43
a week on this, but there's so many different reasons why Back when I
35:45
back when I was a kid, you know, you got you got in
35:49
trouble in school, you got in trouble at home too. Well, a
35:51
lot of these kids don't have that support at home. And now we have
35:52
a we have a we have a generation of parents to think, my kid
35:57
does know wrong and you're picking up. And then you have also a lot
36:01
of parents out there that aren't involved. You've got great grandparents raising kids.
36:05
There's so many societal issues forradd to go into this. And we have so
36:08
many children in foster care, or so many children they're homeless, that are
36:12
homeless and they don't have that support, and they don't necessarily know right from
36:16
wrong from an early age one. But it is an issue. It's not
36:21
going to go away unless we provide some help. Let me read a text
36:24
here for you. Okay, Texas, what was the administration supposed to do
36:28
with the disruptive kids who aren't allowed in class? It's not like the school
36:31
boards had the resources to have separate classrooms or facilities for the disruptive kids.
36:36
That is a big issue. But you know, if we're going to correct
36:38
the problem, then the resources need to be provided and an alternative setting within
36:44
the school probably is the best answer. And I know that's going to take
36:47
resources. It's going to take extra personnel to handle that. We're not bad
36:52
mouthing the administrators because their hands are pretty tired as well. But when a
36:58
teacher dismisses a child from the class because of behavior issues, they go to
37:02
the office and the administrator then sends them back in a short period of time.
37:07
That doesn't help end now, And you got to look at the numbers.
37:09
I mean, that's one kid that's causing problems versus twenty five or twenty
37:15
six others that are just there trying to learn and who ends up losing out
37:17
in this. You don't want to see any kid left behind. But well,
37:21
and you know, we've had examples where all the other children in the
37:23
classroom, let's say we have one really disruptive child who's tearing up the classroom,
37:30
all the other children have been removed from the classroom because that child can't
37:34
be handled, you know, in a way that is safe. And it's
37:39
just a it's a huge problem that we need to provide resources for. We
37:45
need more school counselors, psychologists. And you feel that a lot of this
37:50
was not address from from the legislature this so I really don't think that it
37:52
was. But Dave Alance showing five of E Live is brought to you party

pickup or dine in fred I want to talk about the vaccination bill. By
38:07
the way, that's the subject of Hoppy's commentary this morning. In case you
38:09
message, you can chat it out on the website and it's available WV metronews
38:14
dot com Hoppy calling on the governor to veto the bill. No word exactly
38:17
what the Governor's going to do yet. The governor does have a media briefing
38:21
I understand later today where it may be addressed. It was House Bill fifty
38:23
one oh five, and it would remove vaccination requirements for students in virtual public
38:28
schools and would allow private and parochial schools to set their own standards, which
38:34
could be different than public schools. Now, as I understand it, Fred,
38:37
it is very limited, only impacting private and virtual schools. But you
38:40
and your organization still have concerns. We do because you know, when we
38:45
listen to the healthcare providers, those people who are really smart and know what
38:50
they're talking about, we need to pay attention. And when this bill was
38:54
in debate in Health Committee centered Health Committee picked, the room was picked with
39:00
healthcare providers telling them this is the wrong move. West Virginia. From what
39:07
I've read and heard, we lead the nation in being really good in vaccinating
39:13
our children before they go into school, and we have very few outbreaks,
39:19
if any, but some of the surrounding states I understand now have an outbreak
39:23
of measles. Why would we want to go back to those times. You
39:29
know, when I was growing up, I had measles, I had chicken
39:31
pox, I had momps. I wouldn't want that to happen to anyone else
39:36
going forward, and we thought we had taken care of it. I also
39:39
remember going to school through all my school years with at least two students who
39:45
suffered from polio. Unfortunately, they recently, just within the last few years,
39:52
have passed away, but I remember how difficult their life was because they
39:55
had polio. I also remember standing in line with my parents to get the
40:00
sugar cubes that had the polio vaccination embedded in it. That was a decision
40:06
my parents made, and I'm so grateful they made that decision to help us
40:10
have a healthier life. But you know, even the chair of Senator Health,
40:17
doctor Moroney, Senator Maroney from up in Marshall County, the last night
40:22
of the session before this bill passed, he pleaded for them not to pass
40:28
this bill. He says, we're doing something that we're going to regret.
40:31
Well, what are your concerns from a public school, from a public school,
40:35
Because because this is primarily as an understanding, if this was they had
40:37
to do with with with virtual schools virtually charter, virtual schools, parochial as
40:43
somebody who represents public schools. Well, I think that Hoppy hit the nail
40:46
right on the head in his commentary this morning, and I heard it.
40:51
I think it's going to open up the door for something else down the road.
40:55
You know. So it's it's a home, it's a virtual's school's student
41:00
doesn't have to be vaccinated. Okay, but what And I understand that if
41:05
they come to school to play sports, to public school, they have to
41:07
follow the WVSSAC rules and be vaccinated. But I think it's opening a door
41:15
to the community that we don't want to see because then it could trickle down
41:21
into our public schools. If that person who's not vaccinated then gets a disease,
41:25
gets whatever it is, they could spread it to someone else, a
41:31
younger child who hasn't even had their vaccination yet eligible to be Yeah, measles.
41:37
I heard a report on ABC News this morning. Ninety percent if you're
41:44
dealing with people that aren't vaccinated. You and I are riding a school bus
41:45
together and we're not vaccinated, I have measles, you have a ninety percent
41:51
chance of catching it just by sitting next to me, not any kind of
41:53
contact or anything like that. Ninety percent chance that was a reporter was on
41:58
AB's news this morning. I want to go back here to the disc one
42:00
build because I got a texture that somebody said it did pass both the Senate
42:02
and the House, but it was sent back to the House to concur untechnical
42:07
language and then the clock right now, that's true, that is, but
42:09
the way it didn't didn't get passed is what you're saying. Before I let
42:14
you all, want to ask you this question, Fred, And since you've
42:16
been on last the American Federation of Teachers and your counterparts over to WVEA have
42:22
agreed to what looks like a merger. So what's the upside for members of
42:27
your organization and the wve A. Well, we're looking at when this takes
42:30
place, and I do believe that our members will vote for it, and
42:34
it's ultimately up to the membership in both AFT West Virginia and WVa. I

think the new organization will be a stronger voice. We will be you know
42:45
together, we're already together on so many of the issues. I just think
42:49
it's going to give a stronger voice to our educators. And when I say
42:52
educators, that's our classroom teachers, our classroom aids, service personnel, bus
42:58
drivers, cooks, custodians. I think it will bring about a stronger voice.
43:01
And that's what's the timeframe for that again, we're looking at it.

convention Center. They will be down there the next couple of days. TEXTA
47:07
a Dave Island show, our service of fruit pharmacy and our phone calls or
47:12
a service of Bigley Pigly wiggly text says politicians want to put pistols on teachers,
47:17
but balk at putting paddles and their desk drawers. Paddles, not pistols,
47:22
will get the disciplines desired, says a text. Textus says voters needs
47:27
to defeat the AFT and WVEA any place they rear their ugly heads. It's
47:31
one thing to work for better pay for teachers, it's whole thing a whole
47:36
other thing to advocate for liberal social issues, which they do all the time,
47:40
says a Texture. Texas says, perhaps the framework for separating the disruptive
47:45
kids should be worked out before legislation has approved that removes kids from the classrooms,
47:50
but that would take foresight in planning something. The legislature is not known
47:54
for Texas wives. Fred Albert trying to butt into what private schools are doing
47:59
typical of a teacher union, says a text. Well, I think he
48:01
kind of explained that. He says that if it's if this happens in private
48:07
schools, having some parochial schools or whatever, that it could eventually come into
48:10
public schools. That was his answer to that question. Here's a solution,
48:16
says the texture to the school discipline issue. Just give the kids guns.
48:20
That solves all problems in school work, home concerts, movie theaters, political
48:22
rallies, sporting events, parades, places of worship, and so on.
48:25
Come on, Republicans, show us you really support the Second Amendment coming up
48:30
on tomorrow's show. Remember a couple of weeks ago when I had Lynn Fruth
48:34
on from Fruth Pharmacy, sponsor of this show. But she was talking about
48:37
a bill that would try to shore up a definite problem when it comes to
48:40
money's being paid out for prescriptions. Well, that bill that would hopefully fix
48:46
the issue did pass the legislature. Lynn Fruth will be back on the show
48:49
tomorrow to talk about it. Also to Mark naw Anty Commissioner Lance Wheeler will
48:52
be stopping by and we're going to spend some time talking about human trafficking.
48:54
That is on tomorrow's show. Hopey coming up at ten o six this morning
49:00
with talk line from the in COVID studios. Speaking of vaccines. As we
49:02
were earlier, Delegate Chris Print fro Americanawk County, who was one of the
49:06
folks really pushing the vaccine exemption bill and again that's in front of the governor
49:10
right now. Delegate Print, who was also the Deputy Majority Whip in the
49:15
House and candidate for Secretary of State, will join Hoppy to talk about that
49:17
coming up on the show today. Plus there's big changes coming to one of
49:21
my favorite places, Glade Springs, which is owned by the family of Governor
49:24
Justice Brad mclhonney. Will have more and that's Delegate Heather Tully's on the show.
49:30
And also the Hobby's going to get into a fascinating story which we briefly
49:35
touched on on yesterday's show when I Jason Pizitela on the Contractors Association. Gentlemen
49:39
by the name of Captain Charlie Plum. He is a combat veteran who was
49:45
shot down in Vietnam and spent six years as a POW. He's also in
49:51
town. He was to be the keynote speaker at the expo, going on
49:53
to the Kyle'see mcconvinced Center and going to get his story. I'm looking forward
49:57
to hearing that coming up on Hoppy, which I think it's going to be
50:00
in the second hour of the show. But Hopy Show is from begins at
50:04
ten o six. If you'd like another way to enjoy your favorite metro news

50:38
a state wide tornado warning. Now, if you got your cell phone set
50:44
for weather alerts and things of that nature, it may go off, may
50:46
not. If you've got a weather radio, I know some people have those,
50:51
it may go off to just letting you know there's no danger for the
50:52
area or whatever. This is part of the Spring Weather Awareness Month, So
50:58
that is scheduled to go off at eleven this morning, So just so you
51:04
know, all right, real quick, I want to throw this out and
51:07
there's more about this on WCCHS network dot com. The Charleston Police Department is
51:12
out with their crime numbers from the year twenty twenty three, and again you
51:15
can go over to the website and read it into TAILWCCHS network dot com.
51:19
What's called type one crimes. We're actually down in the year twenty twenty three
51:23
from twenty twenty two. The only exception to that is malicious wounding in the
51:29
city. Malicious wounding is up from twenty twenty two, up by four,
51:34
not by a whole lot. There were five murders in the city in twenty
51:38
twenty three, forty four rapes, thirty eight reported robberies, three hundred and
51:43
eighty eight burglaries, over one thousand cases of larceny, two hundred and thirty
51:47
three vehicles broken into, and one hundred and thirty seven cars stolen. Again,
51:52
this is all for reported crimes within the City of Charleston from the Charleston
51:55
PD. Now, the number of DUIs was way down. Overdoses within the
52:04
city limits fell. However, sadly, overdose deaths were actually up, but
52:10
still not the most we've seen in the city. That record was set back
52:14
in twenty twenty one. Again, go read the story for yourself. WCHS
