2:21
You probably heard us, Carrie and the Jeff on the Morning News talking about
2:23

2:28
you were watching ESPN yesterday, man, watching all these would be nurses signing
2:34

2:37
things going on at Bridge Valley. Doctor Casey Sachs is going to join us
2:39
to talk about that. Plus your calls and texts are welcome to. I
2:44
want to welcome in now though, my good friend Millie Snyder from the Shape
2:47
Shop here in Charleston. Milly, Happy Honukah, Merry Christmas, Happy New
2:52
Year, and all the other pleasantries that you deserve on this cold winter morning,
2:57
one day officially away from the start of winter or tomorrow, right that's
3:01
the twenty. First, yes, yeah, well I'll be sure to bundle
3:05
up. Well, you need to bundle up in here because it's a little
3:07
cold and is funny, so somebody forgot to pay the bill. We're working
3:10
on it. We're working on it. The parts are ordered, as it's
3:14
you well, and it's Christmas season, so somewhere out there there are the
3:17
parts to fix the heat. And as they say, they're en root,
3:23
they're on root. Yeah, they're somewhere in Provo, Utah at this time,
3:25
but trying to get them. It's it's nearby. But yeah, we're
3:29
suffering a little bit myself. But as I told Jeff Jenkins earlier, we
3:34
just got to put out more hot air. That's just why we had that.
3:37
We had to put That's probably why you invited me today. That's exactly.
3:39
No, that's not exactly why. How are you, melly? I'm
3:42
wonderful and by the way, merry Christmas and all the good wishes to everyone
3:46
who's listening, with the hope that in addition to a wonderful Christmas, we
3:52
might see peace in those parts of our world that are under continent. I
3:57
would one hundred percent agree with that. How are things at the Shape Shop
4:00
wonderful, wonderful, And you know, there was an article that I want
4:03
to sell it. That doesn't mean I'm closing, because I do not wish
4:08
to put my life in danger. If I stop making dippy doos, I
4:12
wouldn't be able to even go anywhere because people will be out for me.
4:15
So we're not closing. We are only I'm only wanting to find out what
4:20
it would be like to not work every day. And I go to work
4:24
every day with joy in my heart. But the things that we make at
4:28
the Shape Shop are unique and different. Yeah, we're a little bit off
4:30
the beaten paths, but I wish people would see us as a destination because
4:35
they will not regret it. Our food is it is unbelievably delicious, it
4:40
is, it is frequently healthy. I frequently have lunch there and take things
4:45
home from there, sometimes even pay for them. But I think that's really
4:50
unusual. That's another story. But I want to ask you how are things
4:56
going after the gas crisis there on the West Side, because no, and
4:59
I want to tell you that I can relate with it being cold in here
5:00
because we were really in a bad way. But you know, I had
5:04
an interview with Channel thirteen and I said, you know, as bad as
5:09
it is for us, so many other people are suffering far greater than we
5:14
were. And we got our gas back on the day before Thanksgiving, but
5:18
we couldn't make anything. We couldn't make muffins. The girls very creatively made
5:25
vegetable soup out on the grill. I think I mentioned that Glass did and
5:30
it was delicious soup. And last night I had our stuffed pepper soup for
5:33
dinner. That stuff is not good. It is just absolutely delicious. Now
5:38
I have to say, I'm a big stuff pepper guy. You got to
5:41
buy this. I don't know that I've ever had stuff pepper soup. Well,
5:44
we used to make green pepper soup. You know, a lot of
5:46
people can't do well with the green pepper because it repeats on them until Thursday
5:51
or Friday. So we repeats on them. Anthony repeats on them. But
5:57
anyway, go ahead. In another world it's called the gesho. Okay,
6:00
yeah, just leave it to that. But we use the red, yellow,
6:03
and orange peppers now and we've recreated it and there's no you know,
6:09
after burning in your chest because I don't know what it is in green peppers.
6:13
I'm sure there's a whole study about that, but it's just delicious.
6:16
And our meat is turkey, not beef, so the amount of fat,
6:23
it's all skimmed off. We just make things that are healthy, delicious.
6:28
Nothing is processed. Our turkey, our chicken is unbelievable. And you are
6:33
a great fan of our fresh salmon. I am, I am. I
6:36
love some salmon, and your salmon it is fantastic, absolutely the best.
6:40
That's the key. I think a lot of people don't understand. It's not
6:44
and I'm not a health expert by any stretch of the imagination, but it's
6:47
not necessarily sometimes calories and fact, I mean that's bad too, but it's
6:53
the way in the modern era and something that we've been doing for really for
6:58
the most part, for the last fifty or sixty years and America. It's
7:00
the way that we preserve food. Yes, and as they say, like
7:04
when you go grocery shopping, they always say, you know you should,
7:08
you know, skip the middle sections of the store and just go. You
7:11
know, it's not about the meat necessarily, It's not about some of these
7:15
it's the way it's prepared and the way it's preserved. That's causing a lot
7:18
of these problems, and those chemicals are doing very very serious damage inside the
7:25
body. The body when we when our creator made us, there were no
7:30
provisions for all these strange ingredients, so the body harbors them and creates all
7:36
kinds of maladies. And not until someone is stricken or someone is diagnosed with
7:43
a problem, do they then want to look back and reflect on my eating
7:46
habits. Well, because we know this, let's pay attention to it,
7:51
eating better, eating healthy. I know it's Christmas. I don't think there's
7:57
a pass passage in the Bible that says because we are celebrating the birth of
8:01
Jesus that we need to pig out. I don't think there's a passage,
8:05
But if I'm wrong, I want to be able to know what passes.
8:07
But I think sometimes really it's part of our culture here in apple Agia too
8:11
and in other areas. But yes, I mean, we don't want to
8:15
blame, you know, originally I'm from Baltimore, and I have to tell
8:18
you they did some pigging out there tall suah. Yeah. But my point
8:22
is we need to do self preservation. And I mean Emily at our shop
8:28
is creating muffins that are just driving people wild. They're so good, and
8:33
there's no sugar, and sugar is not a friend. It tastes great in
8:37
your mouth, but it's not a friend. And we want to be able
8:41
to, you know, reflect that in terms of your health. And that's
8:46
what we want the message to be. I love the store, I love
8:50
the people, I love the things that we carry, but I want people
8:52
to know there's a purpose behind it, and that is to help you be
8:56
your best self. And I know that's a used express, all right,
9:00
and that's true. But eight Island Show on five of the Life is brought
9:03
to you apart by General Hardware and Number of Windfield. Get with them for
9:05
a quote before you start your project. If you're tired of sorting through a
9:09
bunch of crooked boards, get with General Hardware and Number of Windfield. They
9:11
have the straight quality number you're looking for, with great pricing and the service
9:15
you expect from a locally owned business. General Hardware and Number of Winfield.
9:18
Let me get back to your business here now. You said that you want
9:22
to sell the Shape Shop, but not close the Shape Shop. So how
9:26
does one go If somebody's listening to me right now, and they I'm gonna
9:28
play. I'm gonna play like my friend Rich, the realtor. I'm gonna
9:31
be the real estate agent here. Okay. If somebody is listening right now,
9:33
they're saying, well, that may be an interesting business proposition for me
9:37
to take over the shape shop. What do they need to do? Call
9:39
me just that simple, call you in and show up with a checkbook.
9:43
No, let's not do the checkbook. Yes, but yes, I had
9:46
to start the discussion. We would yes, we would like the check with
9:50
give me the number, give me the number before we My direct number is
9:52
three oh four five four one six one four six. The number for the
9:56
Shape Shop is six eight one two six five three nine three eight, And
10:01
just start that discussion. And you're getting a great business there, because you
10:05
know it's a great business. Plenty of free parking there. That's always an
10:07
issue in a city, is parking. No worries at all with it's a
10:11
not a meter to be had, not a meter to be had over there
10:13
in that part of town. But if they want to bring quarters, I'll
10:16
take that. Yes, of course you will. Okay, uh so,
10:18
uh uh, but but you're not here again, would maybe the newspaper article
10:24
whatever kind of gave a mistaken impression that you were wanting to sell. You're
10:26
not, I mean, or that you're wanting to close. You're not wanting
10:28
to close. You're just looking for somebody basically to take over. A lady
10:31
came in yesterday, she said, are you closing? I said, no,
10:35
not at all. I'm going I want to sell. And that's it.
10:37
Because you know, I have a new name now. I'm called an
10:41
octogenarian. Mm hmmm. I've been called everything, but never that, okay,
10:45
and that simply means that I'm in my eightieth year. Yeah. I
10:48
like that commercial that' say age as a number in mind's unlisted. But I
10:52
tell everybody. I tell everybody my age, So there's their secret. Other
10:58
than the gas crisis. Put the kind of a rap on the year twenty
11:01
twenty three. How was twenty twenty three for this? It was a wonderful
11:03
year. We learned a lot, We've created some new things, and I'm
11:07
just so grateful for the fact that you know I'm here and I'm doing this
11:13
and my health is great. I want to attribute the fact that I'm healthy
11:18
to what I preach and also the Mediterranean lifestyle we have groups on Thursday morning
11:24
and Thursday afternoon, like people to find out about it and learn. And
11:30
I put an emphasis on that word learn how to eat, not do it
11:33
in an artificial way, because that's not the answer. And you know,
11:39
with New Year's coming up, everybody's going to make a New Year's resolution.
11:41
That's what they always do. My friends who spend a lot of time in
11:43
the gym will say they call the first two weeks of January amateur hour,
11:48
they said, because by about January tenth or eleventh, they're all gone there,
11:52
you know. And actually I know friends who spend time at the gym
11:56
that don't go at all doing They just work out at home or they do
11:58
other exercise. They say, I'm staying away from the gym until January tenth,
12:01
eleventh, twelfth, and then I'll come back because that's when all of
12:05
the resolution errors are gone. Talk about though, with people set a goal,
12:11
I don't think I can count to the to the number that I'd like
12:15
to be able to give you. Over the years of my career with weight
12:18
Watchers and of course now Mediterranean, how many people have resolved as they bangle
12:26
on their chest and swear that this is the time. The people who joined
12:31
forty two times. Every time they said it, they meant it, but
12:35
they let something get in the way. You know, the eating time that
12:39
we're in right now really is called the trithecta because it began with Halloween.
12:45
Then it's Thanksgiving, now it's Christmas. Maybe it's the quad secta because we
12:50
have the food for New Years. We need to make better choices. And
12:56
that's what it's all about, not give up eating. Yeah, but the
13:00
resolve. It's not just and I think sometimes people think it's all about working
13:05
out. I've got to go work out for five hours a day if you
13:09
don't do the diet part of it, though, and watch what you eat,
13:13
not only from a calorie standpoint, but also from is it actually good
13:18
for you with the preservative and things we talked about earlier. Then all the
13:20
I mean, you might have a big body, but the rest of it's
13:24
going to go to heck in a handbasket if you don't have this. And
13:28
eating is such a simple ingredient, breakfast, lunch, supper, things you
13:33
can on Mediterranean. You'll eat better than you've ever eaten since you came onto
13:37
this earth, and you won't starve and you can't use no. And also
13:41
the eating habits your mother taught you, your grandmother influenced, and that wasn't
13:46
healthy because those people save bacon grease on the top of their stove and they
13:50
keep reusing it, and that makes heart attacks. It keeps the medical community
13:56
very very busy. Oh my goodness. So I would say, let's take
14:01
better care of ourself and start the new year with an attitude, and don't
14:07
talk about it. Just do it. Don't say I'm making a new Year's
14:09
resolution. Just be make a good choice, and if you like it,
14:15
keep it going, keep it going, one hour at a time. One
14:20
short story years ago, at weight Watchers, there was a lady who had
14:24
a bad week at the scale and she remained after the meeting and I said
14:28
to her, what's going on. She said, I didn't do well.
14:33
I said, well, then just take it one day at a time.
14:35
And she said to me, now you hold on, girley, And up
14:39
to that point I had been called girly. She said, for me,
14:43
it's one hour at a time. I never forgot that. And it's true.
14:50
If that's the way we have to do it, let's do it,
14:52
own it and be proud until our strength and our resolve strengthens. About people.
15:01
This is about us eating better and it does make a difference at the
15:05
end of the day. Great way to end it, Melli. So you
15:09
want me to leave now? Yeah, yeah, I got somebody else give
15:13
it up. But Mellie, always a pleasure to have you on the show.
15:16
Happy New Year too, all of you folks at the Shape Shop.
15:20
Oh yeah, I had a wonderful Honika with my family and it was just
15:24
great. Okay, all right, and we'll be talking to you in the

you. Thank you for being here. What does Christmas look like for doctor
19:15
Sachs and the Sacks crew? My husband and our three dogs and I will
19:19
drive down to his folks house and spend some time with them. It'll be
19:22
really cool. What's the trip? And I like with the dogs. They're
19:26
really good dogs. We're super lucky. So even though nobody likes to be
19:30
in the car for any amount of time, they'll be fine. Well that's
19:33
good. You know. I'd have to say if I was going to travel
19:37
with dogs or kids, I think dogs. That's just me. Great point.
19:40
You're awfully quiet, all right, So I want to talk about the
19:45
year that was with Bridge Valley. But man, yesterday I was Mintinus on
19:48
the air earlier with the folks that I'm listening this morning, coming in and
19:52
Carrie Hoo, Dea Sec and Jeff are doing the morning news talking about big
19:56
stuff out at Bridge Valley. I thought I was watching ESPN radio. We're
20:00
watching television. I mean with the signing day, you had a signing day,
20:03
yesha, explain it. We did. So. WVU Medicine has really
20:08
stepped up as a wonderful employer to help support students at Bridge Valley. They've
20:12
committed millions of dollars at this point to our students. Every semester they pay
20:18
a group of students five thousand dollars just to be students. We saw that
20:22
scholarships have a gap. All of the different kinds of financial aid we have
20:26
have gaps for people. And one of the things that doctor Rosencrantz and I
20:30
were talking about is that students could be a flat tire away from having to
20:33
drop out of school. They're talented students, they belong at Bridge Valley,
20:37
but they have life circumstances that can keep them out. And so WVU Medicine
20:41
said, well, we need nurses and we're really willing to commit to keeping
20:45
people in the program. So they've selected they selected ten last semester and fifteen
20:51
this semester, and they're going to keep picking more and they're paying students to
20:55
be students up to twenty five thousand dollars a person. I mean, that's
20:59
that's incredible. I mean, it really really is. And you mentioned doctor
21:02
Sachs that we desperately need, well, disparately need workers of all kinds,
21:06
but we desperately need healthcare workers, especially with our aging population. Not just
21:11
here in West Virginia, but I mean the population in general is aging everywhere,
21:15
you know, and it's going to require more care. It's going to
21:18
require more bodies. Healthcare is really an in demand field. We have the
21:22
best to year Associates degree nursing program in the state. We're really proud of
21:26
that, and it's wonderful. You can start in eleventh grade in high school.
21:30
You can decide that you're going to come to high school at Bridge Valley
21:33
and do what's called our Win Academy and do your r N degree, which
21:37
is not something that's normally available to students as young as sixteen. But our
21:41
hospital partners have really stepped up in a big way. And I think the
21:44
signing ceremony yesterday with WVU Medicine is such a testament to that. Well,
21:48
there's got to be a buy in from them too, And we've talked about
21:51
this relationship that Bridge Valley has with various employers in the area because again it's
21:56
kind of a different approach for higher education. You're going to the employers and
22:00
saying, Okay, what do you need? As opposed to years it was
22:03
the other way around. You know, now you're looking at at the camc's
22:07
or WUCH or whatever the hospital is and look at them and say, okay,
22:11
what do you need? What can we do to help? That's right,
22:12
and we really feel like that's the responsible way to approach higher education,
22:18
is that we want to make sure our students have good labor market employment outlook
22:22
for themselves here in the valley once they graduate one of the programs. It's
22:26
worth highlighting that everybody needs are medical laboratory technicians. We have an MLT program
22:32
on campus, and it's hard to recruit people into because nursing's sort of intuitive.
22:36
You met a nurse, they helped your mom when she was sick.
22:37
You want to do that. It's a calling, as they say, it's
22:41
really a calling. You don't think about gosh, I could look at germs
22:44
under a microscope, but it's so important because how fun. You need to
22:48
know what your pathology is. You need to know what's wrong with you.
22:51
But that's one another one of those areas that hospitals are like, hey,
22:55
can you make more people who have this MLT certification. So it's just another
23:00
example of how healthcare really has demanded so many areas. Even if drawing blood
23:04
from a human maybe isn't your thing, no order having it drawn. Doctor
23:07
Ksey Sachs, Abridge Valley is here. I wanted to talk to you about
23:11
a couple of things. One of those is I know that you have,
23:15
as we said, we have various partnerships that you do the Bridge Valley does
23:18
with the community from various companies, from the hospitals and the healthcare facilities in
23:22
Toyota and Newcore and so on and so forth. But a week two ago,
23:27
I think I had somebody on from the Putnam County Development Authority talking about
23:32
a program that Bridge Valley is working on with him. It's called Fame.
23:37
And then I had somebody text the show a couple of days ago and said,
23:38
hey, you know, apparently there's somebody listening because they texted show and
23:44
said, hey, I want more information about that, so can you give
23:47
them. We had Morgan on from the Development Authority literally like two days before
23:52
she had a baby. She came on the show. But let's talk about
23:56
that program fame of what it means. So the West Virginia FAME program is
24:00
a terrific program. Manufacturers in the area have gotten together as a consortium.
24:04
They call themselves the Federation for Advanced Manufacturing Education Fame FAME, and that group
24:11
of manufacturers has said, we don't want to steal talent from each other.
24:14
We want to help grow our talent pool in the community for people who have
24:18
advanced manufacturing technology skills. So they've recognized Bridge Valley as their education provider in
24:23
the consortium. They recognize that we have an excellent advanced Manufacturing tech program and
24:29
they want the people from our program. But they also recognize that they have
24:33
some responsibility here too, that they need to help make sure people are in
24:36
the program so that we have a pipeline of people who are getting the right
24:38
skills. And then they also have really doubled down and made a commitment to
24:42
students. Students who are selected for fame work three days a week at one
24:48
of the companies that you highlighted, and they come to school two days a
24:51
week at Bridge Valley, and the companies pay them to be employees. And
24:55
almost all of the students get hired permanently by the companies that they've been placed
24:59
with while they're in the program, that the company and the student figure out
25:02
this is a really good match and that the student wants to stay there.
25:04
And again, it's just another example of higher education working with employers here in
25:11
the Kanaal Valley at in other areas and saying, Okay, what do you
25:15
need? Again, None of this would be possible if it weren't for the
25:18
wants and needs of these manufacturers to say we need people, and I mean
25:23
to have a I mean, I tried to think about a hundred years ago
25:26
when when I was just covered out of high school or whatever, thinking okay,
25:30
you're going to basically pay for my education. Then you're gonna in most
25:33
cases offer you the majority of cases, you're going to have a job waiting
25:38
on you when you finish the program. That's pretty cool stuff. It is.
25:42
It's wonderful our elected officials have actually done a great job in West Virginia
25:47
coming up with a variety of ways to help that The state helps people pay
25:51
for school, and it's because we recognize that you might not need four years
25:56
of school, but you definitely need more than high school. And juring out
26:00
how to fill that gap so that you get the certification and that you get
26:03
the training that you need after high school so that you can get one of
26:06
these good jobs in the area makes all the difference. And there are plenty
26:10
of good jobs and plenty of good available jobs out there right now. They
26:15
just need people that are trained to go to them. And we spend a
26:18
lot of time docter sas talking about younger people because that's generally people that are
26:22
trying to forge their career path. But it's not just about younger people so
26:26
to speak. I mean, you've seen people and you talked about it last
26:30
time. You were hear people looking for a second career. Gosh, that's
26:33
so true. I mean, what they call non traditional students talk about that.
26:37
So I mean, yesterday at the signing day, one of the students
26:40
came up to me and she was the best part of my day yesterday.
26:42
And what she said was, you know, I'm a single mom. I
26:45
have four kids. My oldest is in college and my youngest is in preschool,
26:48
and I want to be a nurse, and I couldn't figure out how
26:52
to do it. Financial AIDS seemed out of reach. Being able to do
26:55
the program seemed out of reach. And between what the WVU Medicine and Bridge
26:59
Valley of together together to make this possible for me, it's a game changer.
27:04
And we see that all the time. Our average age is thirty at
27:07
Bridge Valley. We see adults who are coming back who have spent some time
27:11
in retail, or spent some time in fast food or in kitchens somewhere in
27:17
town. And that's great, and if it's what you want to do,
27:19
terrific, more power to you. But often what I hear is people say,
27:23
you know, I have kids, my life has changed, and I
27:26
don't want to keep working in retail for the rest of my life. I
27:29
want something that's more meaningful to me. And so they come back and do
27:33
healthcare, manufacturing or it with us at Bridge Valley. And I have seen
27:37
that happen so many times. And sometimes it's not necessarily a hardship case.
27:41
It's just somebody they just get bored. You know this happened. This happened
27:45
with a friend of our, of my family. The mom was a stay
27:51
at home mom. The father worked in the manufacturing field, and the mother
27:56
just basically said, I want to go do something else here. My kids
28:00
are raised, my husband is not close to retirement age yet, I want
28:03
to go do something else. And so in her forties, she decided,
28:07
Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna go back to school and I'm going to become
28:08
a nurse. To this day, now she's in her sixties and she's still
28:11
on ours. I really applaud her. I think that's so brave, and
28:14
I wish more people had that kind of gumption and bravery because I see women
28:19
and men every day at Bridge Valley who are my age and I'm in my
28:22
forties, and they're they're not my employees, they're my students. They're coming
28:26
in and they're really changing their lives and frankly changing the lives for their whole
28:32
family. Because if you think about if your mom had been a single mom
28:36
and you know, you're raised and now you're working, and she says,
28:40
gosh, I want to go back, I want to go back to school,
28:41
and get more training. Maybe that inspires you, or maybe it inspires
28:45
her grandkids to realize I can do it too. Yeah, I mean so
28:48
many, so many success stories out there. And again we'll talk about quickly
28:52
about the the IT programs that you offer out there. I mean I talk
28:57
about them every day when you know, when you guys sponsor the show,
29:00
and I read about these IT programs. But they're incredible what you're offering on
29:04
the Oh gosh, they really are. And I think part of what's wonderful
29:07
in it is that you can do a short term certification to get yourself in
29:12
the door somewhere. That every single kind of business needs people who can do
29:17
web design, who have cybersecurity skills, who understand how to do networking and
29:22
basic support setup. You still have a lot of people in the workplace who
29:26
struggle with some basic computer skills, and so having that tech person at any
29:30
kind of business who can understand, let me set this up for you,
29:33
let me make sure everything's working and that you don't have any computer viruses.
29:37
Those are all short term kinds of skills that you don't have to go to
29:41
school for four years to learn how to do. And so it makes it
29:44
even more valuable that we can offer it right here in the valley. And
29:47
for employers, I'll say this, at Bridge Valley, you folks are willing
29:51
to tailor make the program for that particular employer. So it's not just a
29:56
generic Okay, I've got a degree in some sort of IT, working with
30:00
these companies and saying okay, Jones and Jones or whatever the case may be,
30:06
we are going to tailor make this IT program for what your company needs.
30:11
That's right, and that's actually something that we love to do at Bridge
30:14
Valley because it means then that we have that employer partnership like the ones we've
30:18
talked about earlier with WVU Medicine or with Toyota, that those are things that
30:22
we've done in healthcare and in manufacturing. We really want that in IT.
30:26
So if you are an employer who has an IT need, please reach out
30:30
to us. We really want to be responsive because that means we can turn
30:33
around and make sure that our students are getting employment that's really relevant and the
30:37
information about that is available Bridge Valley dot edu slash Apprenticeships if you want more
30:41
information about that. I mean again, training for the little or no cost
30:45
fifty to fifty salary match and you got ready made employees. Man, they're
30:48
just ready to jump right in there. Okay. They literally leave the classroom
30:52
and put on a hard hat or a suit and tire or whatever the case
30:56
is, and they go to work the next day. Talk about some of
30:57
the highlights of Bridge Valley for twenty twenty three and what you're looking forward to
31:02
in twenty twenty four. Bridge Valley's brought in over seven million dollars in federal
31:06
grants in twenty three. We're really proud of that. Each each grant means
31:10
that we're doing something innovative in the community so that we can help people.
31:14
A theme that we found is that we're really focused on retention. What can
31:18
we do to help keep the students who we have, So in many of
31:21
these grant programs, we've developed a program that's called a SIND. And the
31:26
point of a SIND is to make sure that all of our students have the
31:29
resources they need to say students, So if that means a gas card or
31:33
to help find childcare in town, or some kind of connection to the KRT
31:37
bus pass program, we really want to make sure that that's true for students,
31:41
so that they don't drop out for some reason. That's sort of one
31:44
of these like you said, you know, a flat tire away, you
31:47
know, from not being able to complete or or not having the gas money
31:49
or whatever. There's no excuse because you gonna take care of that, right,
31:52
It's really important to us that we keep our students. They're really smart.
31:56
The people who want to come back to Bridge Valley have all all of
32:00
the drive and all of the desire, and we just want to make sure
32:01
people cross the finish line. Well, you're doing some great work out there,
32:06
doctor Sachs, you and your entire team. But what I like about
32:07
it is is that you are committed to West Virginia and the Kanaal Valley and
32:14
that you're always out there. Your team's always out there doing things sometimes aren't
32:16
even related necessarily to education. Because you're out there in the community. We
32:22
see at all these community events and you, yourself and your wonderful staff,
32:24
we see you out there. So that's an important part of it. Thank
32:29
you. I mean, this is our community. We really want the whole
32:31
valley to be successful, and twenty twenty four is going to be even more
32:35
so. Right, Oh, absolutely, we're really looking forward to it.
32:37
Bridge Valley turns ten in twenty twenty eighth. Okay, okay, and so
32:40
in March we'll have a gala. Everyone's invited. We'd love for you to
32:44
go online to the foundation and buy tickets to support the college. The money
32:47
will end up going to our Student Opportunity Fund to the endowment so that we
32:51
can endow the program that'll make sure that students have the resources they need to
32:54
cross that finish line. All right, doctor Sachs, I appreciate you being
32:59
here. All this everything we talked about is available. You folks do a
33:01
fantastic job with your web I would hope that you did, since you're training
33:04
all these I people. I hope that your website and your social media everything
33:07
is good because that's a that's a big part of it as well. But
33:09
you guys do a fantastic job with that. For you and your staff,
33:13
you got wonderful people out there. Uh. Great talking to you as always.

December twenty seventh. Listen for live coverage of the game, plus daily bowl
41:49
reports and expert WVU commentary, all presented by Stike Wealth Enhancement. What a
41:53
great day I have to say yesterday that it was down at the all new
41:58
Thornhill Toyota in Chapmanville. We were all down there yesterday. By all,
42:00
I mean all the stations of WVRC Media Charleston were there for the grand opening
42:05
of Thornhill Toyota. I did a little double duty down there broadcasting for us
42:08
here at w CHS, but also on nine eight seven of Mouth and Rob
42:13
Reel was there from her sister station, Superstar Country KWS. Jenny Murray from
42:17
V one hundred, what he would from the beat, Great day, great
42:21
to be for me back home in Logan County yesterday I had a great time
42:24
and introducing some of my friends here to some of my friends there. Now
42:28
next Wednesday, one week from the day, all the stations again will be
42:34
broadcasting live from Thornhill Toyota. So thanks again to Wally and Sydney and everyone
42:39
at Thornhill. Were looking forward to seeing everyone again there next week to the
42:51
Texter attempting to criticize Bridge Valley. Gee, it seems that Bridge Valley's people,
42:57
programs of cooperation with all of our communities and businesses are miles above Harvard,
43:00
UPenn, and MIT. Wouldn't you say? I don't think the text
43:04
was not criticizing Bridge Valley by any stretch of the imagination. I think that
43:07
was a shot at the legislature, not a shot at Bridge Valley programming.
43:14
Note. On tomorrow's show, Delegate and candidate for governor more Capito will be

here in studio, as well as Ellen Allen from West Virginia's for Affordable Healthcare.

44:15
It's just it's going to be a fun time. It's an on air Christmas
44:19
party, and it's going to be on Friday, and I guess in place

but he does have some explaining to do about the whole season and not just
48:07
last night. Time will tell. I suppose got a text or somebody said,
48:15
Dear Dave, did you see the latest Jim Justice endorsement? He's now
48:17
being endorsed by Senator Blackburn the Tennessee. Yeah, I actually just looked.
48:25
I just got a press release on that. Big headlines here in the press
48:29
league. US Senator Marshall Blackburn endorses Governor Jim Justice for US Senate. She
48:34
is from Tennessee and so way to go Jim Justice. An endorsement from Marshall
48:40
Blackburn. Listen to Hoppy yesterday and the Senator Joe Manchin was on He and
48:47
others pretty much disgusted at what's going on or not going on the southern border.
48:57
Brad mclahenny with the story post to wv Metro News. The Senate returned
49:00
to d C this week and they had worked through the weekend on a framework
49:10
that includes aid to Ukraine, Israel, and some other border security measures,
49:19
but according to Brad's story, only about half were there half the US Senators
49:24
for the Monday evening votes, and now it looks like, stop me if
49:29
you've heard this before, nothing's going to happen. Senator Manchion on talk line
49:36
yesterday said he was disappointed and disgusted his words, and I think we can
49:43
all agree something has to be done because what is happening now at the southern
49:46
border is not sustainable and the Senator's absolutely right about that, and merely closing
49:51
the border isn't going to cut it. It's got to go well beyond that.
49:54
It's been a crisis for some time. It was a crisis under Trump
49:59
because he did little to help the basic problem. So Democrats Republicans fix it
50:06
and speaking to former President Trump. Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Donald Trump is
50:12
disqualified from holding office because his actions leading up to January sixth. Now the
50:16
ruling bars him from being on the Colorado Republican primary ballot. Of course,
50:22
there will be an appeal. According to Trump's campaign, that appeal will go
50:27
to the US Supreme Court, which means that the Supreme Court and the justices
50:32
could in effect decide the framework for the twenty twenty four presidential election. And
50:39
of course, now because Trump's Trump, it has turned into a fundraising mechanism
50:45
for the Trump campaign, as have all of the former president's legal issues.
50:51
The more trouble he seemingly gets in, the more his base likes him,
50:57
and the more money he raises. I've said it before, I am one
51:01
Republican who does not want Trump to be the nominee. Nikki Haley, Chris
51:06
Christy, Sanus, anybody but Ramaswami, because that's a hard note for me.
51:12
But my wish is is that the Republican Party nationwide and here in West
51:16
Virginia would decide that, not the courts, and it will close with us.
51:22
Look at the at the numbers, folks. Polling has shown that it
51:27
head to head matchup, Biden beats Trump. But if it's Nicki Haley facing
51:31
Biden, Haley wins by seventeen points. So for those who want an end
51:35
to the Biden presidency, talking to you Republicans, at least right now,
51:39
it seems Nicki Haley is the way to go, not Trump. I'm not
51:44
totally in love with Nicki Haley either, but she is an alternative to Trump,
51:49
for sure, and I like some of the things that she said about
51:52
Trump. Trump was the right president at the right time, but that time,
51:58
and I agree with Nicki Haley is not now. He is a one
52:01
man chaos machine. And if you think it was bad in respect in his
52:07
first term, imagine what it's going to be like when he has nothing to
52:09
lose if he wins in twenty twenty four. So something to think about.
52:19
G says the textor Congress can't pass laws and immigration reform and they blame someone
52:22
else. Isn't this pathetic? Says a Texture. Chuck Schumer, A lot
52:28
of other Democrats saying very different tunes on the illegal aliens prior to twenty sixteen,
52:31
says a Texture, very good point. All Right, we gotta go.

We are proud to live here too. From ABC News, I'm Sherriy

preston a record breaking week at the Southern border Customs and Border Patrol, saying
53:14
on Tuesday there were more than twelve thousand, six hundred encounters with migrant seekers,
53:19
the highest one day total ever. Members of the Senate still trying to
53:22
iron out some sort of policy, but, says ABC's Maria v Real and
53:25
Eagle Past, Texas Congress is set to leave for holiday break in just a
53:29
few days, and they have made no compromise on funding for border security,
53:34
leaving the agents here on the ground the city leaders to deal with this crisis.
53:37
You know, as of right now, many of them are relied on
53:40
nonprofit organizations to provide food, water, and basic necessities like medical treatment to
53:45
these migrants. Frankly, it is an unacceptable situation. The ACLU suing over
