3:38
Speaker 3: fire chief right here in the Granite City, Chief Cushman. Yesterday,
3:43
Speaker 3: as you may be aware, there was another brush fire,
3:47
Speaker 3: this time in Northfield, and the concern is great right now. Chief,
3:52
Speaker 3: Good morning, Hey, Good morning, Jadie. How are you. I'm well,
3:55
Speaker 3: I'm well. Thanks for hopping on with us this morning.
3:59
Speaker 3: Some public safety information. I know that I'm just as
4:04
Speaker 3: guilty as everyone else this time of year. I'm anxious
4:06
Speaker 3: to have a little brush fire, uh you know, in
4:10
Speaker 3: the in the yard, maybe a little bonfire, maybe something
4:12
Speaker 3: out on the patio, uh raking up leaves and sticks
4:16
Speaker 3: and doing spring cleanup. And it's tempting, man, It's it's
4:21
Speaker 3: really tempting. But another brush fire yesterday in Northfield. What
4:26
Speaker 3: say you about this time of year?
4:30
Speaker 1: Uh?
4:30
Speaker 4: You know, you you bring up a great point where
4:32
Speaker 4: the weather's finally with us and the sunshining, and and
4:35
Speaker 4: this weekend, folks are gonna want to be out cleaning
4:38
Speaker 4: up the yards.
4:39
Speaker 5: Uh.
4:39
Speaker 4: And and the million dollar question is what do you
4:42
Speaker 4: do with all that stuff?
4:43
Speaker 3: Right?
4:44
Speaker 4: And and people have a tendency to want to burn
4:47
Speaker 4: that debris in their backyards. And and we have a
4:52
Speaker 4: process to follow in the city, and it's to keep
4:55
Speaker 4: everybody safe and keep friends with our neighbors. So we
4:59
Speaker 4: have a permit process in the city is really relatively painless.
5:04
Speaker 4: And and right now is a good time because there's
5:07
Speaker 4: still some moisture in the ground.
5:10
Speaker 3: Yeah. And I think that's a pretty big misconception, is
5:16
Speaker 3: we think that the moisture in the ground. Uh, we're
5:19
Speaker 3: still you know, we're in the stick season. This is
5:21
Speaker 3: mud season that we're gonna be okay, but not not
5:26
Speaker 3: necessarily the case, man, And I learned that the hard
5:30
Speaker 3: way a couple of years ago myself. But things are
5:33
Speaker 3: so dry, it's it's all pretty much tinder right now.
5:37
Speaker 4: Yeah, the the dead litter, the taller grasses. Uh, those
5:41
Speaker 4: certainly are more of a problem than just the short
5:45
Speaker 4: cut lawns that that are dead from from over the winter,
5:50
Speaker 4: regardless of of of now or in the middle of
5:53
Speaker 4: the summer when it's green. You know, a lot of
5:55
Speaker 4: cont needs to be had when when having open fires.
5:59
Speaker 3: What's a what's a permit cost? Chief? Here in the city,
6:05
Speaker 3: we have two options.
6:06
Speaker 4: One is a three day and as a concurrent three
6:08
Speaker 4: day that's ten dollars. And then the most common one
6:11
Speaker 4: is a seasonal permit, which is for the calendar year
6:15
Speaker 4: ending December thirty first, that's twenty dollars. A couple of
6:19
Speaker 4: different ways that folks can get those. Doesn't matter what
6:23
Speaker 4: the payment method is. You still have to come to
6:25
Speaker 4: the firehouse and pick up your paper copy. But payment
6:28
Speaker 4: methods are you can go to the clerk's office and
6:30
Speaker 4: pay with cash or check, and I believe they take
6:32
Speaker 4: a credit card there. They give you a receipt that
6:34
Speaker 4: you bring to the firehouse and that indicates to us
6:37
Speaker 4: that has been paid for. You can pay online through
6:40
Speaker 4: the city's portal in the same location that you pay
6:44
Speaker 4: for your water bill. As an example, there's a section
6:48
Speaker 4: for the burn permit that'll email you a receipt. We
6:52
Speaker 4: just asked that you bring a copy or digital copy
6:54
Speaker 4: of that receipt to the firehouse, or you can come
6:57
Speaker 4: to the firehouse and pay with a check or money order.
6:59
Speaker 4: We don't take cash here. And we asked that you
7:03
Speaker 4: stop buying normal business hours Monday through seven days a week,
7:07
Speaker 4: just normal business hours, and plan ahead. You know, if
7:11
Speaker 4: if you wanted to burn this afternoon and we're busy
7:16
Speaker 4: on calls, unfortunately we can't. We may not be able
7:18
Speaker 4: to issue that. So plan ahead before stopping down and
7:22
Speaker 4: before you plan on burning, just to ensure that we
7:25
Speaker 4: can get that permit lined up for you.
7:27
Speaker 3: What if somebody's thinking, well, I got a little tiny
7:29
Speaker 3: little fire pit, you know, safe one metal, it's on
7:33
Speaker 3: the patio, you know, do I need a fire permit
7:39
Speaker 3: for something I burn permit for something like that.
7:41
Speaker 4: Yeah, any open burning in the city. And and you know,
7:45
Speaker 4: one of the things that you said that's this this
7:47
Speaker 4: scary for me to hear, is I've got it on
7:49
Speaker 4: my patio. Well, if it's a rock patio, that's fine,
7:51
Speaker 4: but if it's wooden patio. That's really frightening from a
7:55
Speaker 4: fire safety standpoint.
7:57
Speaker 5: Uh.
7:57
Speaker 4: There are those the the stainless steel rings that have
8:00
Speaker 4: come a long ways with the.
8:04
Speaker 3: Way that they burn.
8:05
Speaker 4: They burn really clean and they're they're cool to the touch.
8:08
Speaker 4: They're kind of pricey, but you can get those at
8:10
Speaker 4: the local hardware stores and I think they're well worth
8:13
Speaker 4: the investment for the safety aspect.
8:16
Speaker 3: Chief, Thank you so much for coming on with us
8:19
Speaker 3: this morning. Important stuff to know.
8:22
Speaker 4: I appreciate your time.
8:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, have a have a safe rest of your your
8:25
Speaker 3: day and your weekend. And seems like more cost effective
8:30
Speaker 3: to to just get the permit, uh, and not the
8:34
Speaker 3: fine Distracted Driving Awareness month, Autism Awareness Month, and also
8:45
Speaker 3: Child Abuse Awareness Month. My guest in the studio this morning,
8:51
Speaker 3: who's right next to me, is Rebecca Duranlow, the executive
8:55
Speaker 3: director of our House of Central FROMAT. Welcome back to
8:58
Speaker 3: the microphones here it aired out.
9:00
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me, JD.
9:01
Speaker 3: Glad to have you here. Tell me what's happening. Y'all
9:05
Speaker 3: are doing some First of all, kudos before even begin
9:10
Speaker 3: to you and your entire staff at our house. What
9:14
Speaker 3: you guys do is amazing. We're going to talk about
9:16
Speaker 3: some fundraising. We're going to talk about something really cool
9:18
Speaker 3: that you have going on this month, But first, what
9:21
Speaker 3: exactly is our house and what do you do? You're
9:24
Speaker 3: like a stone's throw away from the studio.
9:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely so.
9:28
Speaker 5: Our house is a nonprofit children's advocacy center and special
9:32
Speaker 5: investigations unit. We serve families and children who have experienced
9:37
Speaker 5: sexual violence within Washington County, so all of Washington County
9:41
Speaker 5: comes to our door. Essentially, we are built into legislature,
9:46
Speaker 5: but we are a private entity in a nonprofit which
9:49
Speaker 5: is why we do a lot of fundraising. We are
9:51
Speaker 5: not state funded. We do work through a state grant,
9:54
Speaker 5: but that does not fully fulfill our needs, so we
9:58
Speaker 5: have lots of other fund the streams that we need
10:01
Speaker 5: that keep us up up and running. We work with
10:04
Speaker 5: the Department for Children and Families, We work with local
10:06
Speaker 5: law enforcement, We work.
10:07
Speaker 1: With the State's Attorney's office.
10:09
Speaker 5: We have a therapist in our office now who stay
10:12
Speaker 5: is very, very busy.
10:14
Speaker 1: So essentially, if.
10:15
Speaker 5: Your child discloses some sort of sexual violence and a
10:19
Speaker 5: report is made to DCF and law enforcement, that report
10:23
Speaker 5: comes to us and through that we filter down through
10:28
Speaker 5: a team, so there's a team response immediately, so DCF.
10:31
Speaker 1: Will reach out to the family, they'll schedule a time, and.
10:35
Speaker 5: Then DCF and law enforcement are going to come to
10:37
Speaker 5: our house, and our advocate is already at our house,
10:41
Speaker 5: and then the family is going to come to our
10:43
Speaker 5: house and.
10:43
Speaker 1: They're going to receive their services.
10:45
Speaker 5: They're going to receive their trauma informed interview, they're going
10:48
Speaker 5: to receive their advocacy, their follow up, everything at our house.
10:52
Speaker 5: So these families are not going to DCF to say
10:56
Speaker 5: XYZ happened. They're not going to law enforcement to say
10:58
Speaker 5: XYZ happened. Everything is happening at our house. That interview
11:03
Speaker 5: is recorded audio and visually, so that when the case
11:07
Speaker 5: is sent for prosecution, the state's attorney has.
11:10
Speaker 1: Access to that video. They're watching it, so.
11:12
Speaker 5: These children are not having to be reinterviewed, they're not
11:15
Speaker 5: having to go through all of that all over again.
11:18
Speaker 5: Everything is incredibly trauma informed. Everybody has received very, very
11:23
Speaker 5: formal and up to date training, rigorous training consistently and
11:27
Speaker 5: constantly on what it is like for these children and
11:30
Speaker 5: families to go through not only the trauma that they've experienced,
11:33
Speaker 5: but then the trauma of the ongoing court proceedings and
11:37
Speaker 5: then we have a therapist on site there. As I mentioned,
11:40
Speaker 5: just last year alone she saw four hundred, had four
11:43
Speaker 5: hundred individual visits at the house, so very very busy.
11:48
Speaker 5: And Jess our caseworker, an advocate. She's there for the
11:52
Speaker 5: families through the whole process. So you know, after they
11:56
Speaker 5: have a question, they call, they're stressed out about something,
11:59
Speaker 5: they call. So are there kind of from beginning to end,
12:02
Speaker 5: and quite frankly, if something happened twenty years ago, you
12:06
Speaker 5: call us and we'll figure out, you know, what we can.
12:08
Speaker 1: Do to help.
12:09
Speaker 3: Since I this is amazing to hear this, and since
12:14
Speaker 3: I had you in here last you're saying several hundred cases,
12:21
Speaker 3: Well that was.
12:21
Speaker 5: From our fiscal year of twenty twenty five, so in
12:25
Speaker 5: twenty twenty five, you know, we're just wrapping up.
12:27
Speaker 1: We run on a different fiscal year, so in twenty
12:30
Speaker 1: twenty five, you know, and.
12:32
Speaker 5: Those therapy visits are not necessarily clients who have received
12:38
Speaker 5: services at our house. It's just an additional service that
12:40
Speaker 5: we offer there. In twenty twenty five, we had eighty
12:44
Speaker 5: three cases where that were pursued for sexual child abuse?
12:48
Speaker 3: How many eighty three? How long has the we have
12:54
Speaker 3: a question here in the comments. Has the video portion
12:58
Speaker 3: of the investigation been incorporated into.
13:01
Speaker 1: All this quite a while? I would say probably at
13:05
Speaker 1: least twenty years.
13:06
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, how young are we talking about here?
13:14
Speaker 1: Young? I mean we see kids.
13:15
Speaker 5: We have a formal interviewing process for interviewing kids who
13:19
Speaker 5: are under five.
13:22
Speaker 3: Wow, your staff has to be cut from a certain cloth. Yes,
13:30
Speaker 3: they really have to be.
13:32
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say anybody who works in this field,
13:35
Speaker 5: you know, and not just at our house. You know,
13:37
Speaker 5: the team that we work with at DCF in law enforcement,
13:40
Speaker 5: those detectives are especially trained. Those DCF staff members are
13:44
Speaker 5: especially trained. And it's definitely, you know, challenging. Most of
13:49
Speaker 5: us have families and it's you know, it's hard to
13:53
Speaker 5: not see yourself and your family in these experiences.
13:56
Speaker 3: Yeah. And this is not a Monday through Friday nine
14:01
Speaker 3: to five punch in punch out.
14:04
Speaker 5: No, No, certainly not. I mean, you know, these intakes
14:06
Speaker 5: come in all the time. People have questions all the time.
14:09
Speaker 1: The facility is a twenty four hour facility, so there are.
14:12
Speaker 5: Key codes and people could you know, utilize the services
14:16
Speaker 5: after hours if they needed to. We don't have a
14:19
Speaker 5: lot of that because a lot of times children are
14:22
Speaker 5: not reporting actively when it's happening.
14:25
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of these reports are historical reports.
14:28
Speaker 5: As we say, historical when the abuse is no longer occurring,
14:32
Speaker 5: because a lot of times they feel safe to make
14:35
Speaker 5: those reports, whether that you know, is a few weeks
14:38
Speaker 5: or even years later. So a lot of times these
14:42
Speaker 5: reports are not emergencies in terms of they don't come
14:45
Speaker 5: in at midnight or whatever. But certainly the load that
14:50
Speaker 5: the staff and everybody experiences is constant. You know, you
14:53
Speaker 5: get a hard case, you interview a child, you get
14:56
Speaker 5: a really you know, tough disclosure.
14:58
Speaker 1: At four thirty. You're not just like, oh, have a
15:00
Speaker 1: good day, everybody, and you go home.
15:02
Speaker 3: I mean that's weekends here.
15:03
Speaker 1: Yeah.
15:04
Speaker 3: Wow, Vermont's first children's advocacy center since nineteen eighty nine.
15:12
Speaker 5: Yep, yep, definitely one of the first, been along around
15:16
Speaker 5: for a very long time.
15:17
Speaker 3: Wow. What was happening before that?
15:24
Speaker 1: Everybody was going all their different ways.
15:26
Speaker 5: So basically, if you had a child they disclosed a use,
15:31
Speaker 5: they would be interviewed at a DCF office and then
15:34
Speaker 5: they would later you know, the police might catch wind
15:37
Speaker 5: of it.
15:37
Speaker 1: There.
15:38
Speaker 5: You know, there was no team, so there was no
15:40
Speaker 5: like immediate communication. So then if the police caught wind
15:44
Speaker 5: of it, the police would interview, somebody else might interview,
15:47
Speaker 5: the doctor might do an interview. You know, there'd be
15:51
Speaker 5: multiple interviews any single time because nobody worked together.
15:55
Speaker 1: You know, in these fields and in a lot of fields, people.
15:58
Speaker 5: Are you know, I'm my specialized person. I don't need
16:00
Speaker 5: to work with you. You know, that's just very common.
16:03
Speaker 5: It's very difficult to merge a lot of separate entities together.
16:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, how many staff members do you have?
16:12
Speaker 1: One and a half.
16:14
Speaker 5: I'm full time and my case manager is part time
16:17
Speaker 5: over there at our house.
16:20
Speaker 3: That's pretty remarkable.
16:23
Speaker 5: I mean without our team, we wouldn't be able to
16:24
Speaker 5: do it for sure, you know.
16:26
Speaker 1: I mean the just our case manager.
16:29
Speaker 5: She works primarily with the families, keeping in touch with them,
16:33
Speaker 5: you know, before, after, during, through the whole process. And
16:36
Speaker 5: then it's my job to kind of manage a grants,
16:39
Speaker 5: manage a team fundraise, keep the building going, keep the
16:43
Speaker 5: policies and procedures. We manage a several certifications that we
16:49
Speaker 5: have to have on file, so just kind of run
16:53
Speaker 5: in the building.
16:54
Speaker 3: I know there's some businesses here in Central fromont that
16:59
Speaker 3: love you guys, yes, and really understand firsthand the importance
17:06
Speaker 3: of having you in our community, operating in our community,
17:10
Speaker 3: and donate to you graciously on their own. Yes, But
17:18
Speaker 3: as a nonprofit, you guys need to kind of carry
17:22
Speaker 3: your own weight and have your own fundraising efforts, which
17:27
Speaker 3: I can only imagine has got to be. It's it's
17:34
Speaker 3: it's not the most exciting topic in your world.
17:37
Speaker 5: It's a very challenging topic. It's a challenging topic for
17:40
Speaker 5: people to hear about, which I totally understand.
17:44
Speaker 1: But yeah, fundraising is a huge issue for us because
17:47
Speaker 1: we need.
17:48
Speaker 5: It and it's difficult to do. It's not a fun topic.
17:55
Speaker 5: It's not and we're not raising for something fun, you know,
17:58
Speaker 5: we're not you know, we're not raising to give kids
18:02
Speaker 5: a great birthday or great Christmas, which is a lovely
18:05
Speaker 5: cause and I love all of that, but there's nothing
18:07
Speaker 5: shiny about the money that we need to raise.
18:11
Speaker 1: Because the money that we need to raise is to
18:13
Speaker 1: send somebody to.
18:14
Speaker 5: Training to learn how to talk to your child if
18:16
Speaker 5: they disclose abuse, or it's to make sure that when
18:20
Speaker 5: a family comes they have coffee and that the kids
18:23
Speaker 5: have pop tarts and coloring books. You know, we get
18:27
Speaker 5: very minimal state and federal grants which are shrinking by
18:30
Speaker 5: the day. We've been level funded for quite a while,
18:35
Speaker 5: and which means I'm personally level funded. And also that
18:41
Speaker 5: means that we don't we don't have those things for
18:44
Speaker 5: the families. So you know, I'm literally out here fundraising
18:47
Speaker 5: for toilet paper and pop tarts half the time, which
18:50
Speaker 5: is not exciting for anybody to pay for, but it's.
18:54
Speaker 1: Stuff that we need.
18:55
Speaker 5: And then, you know, for Prevent Child Abuse Month or
18:59
Speaker 5: a child abuse Awareness Month, we're trying to raise prevention
19:02
Speaker 5: and make kits for kids to be able to take home.
19:06
Speaker 5: I've been sent out an email and this month, I'm
19:09
Speaker 5: bringing some kits to a bunch of daycare providers so
19:15
Speaker 5: that those children will have that prevention education. And that's
19:19
Speaker 5: just money that we have to, you know, fundraise for consistently.
19:24
Speaker 3: Whose idea, Who's the brain child behind this fundraising effort
19:32
Speaker 3: for April Child Abuse Awareness Month?
19:36
Speaker 1: Well, if I guess if there was a brain child,
19:38
Speaker 1: that would be me.
19:39
Speaker 5: Any hair brained ideas that come out of out of
19:42
Speaker 5: our house are on my shoulders, yay or nay.
19:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to show this on camera right now,
19:49
Speaker 3: And I've actually got it up here right now. So
19:53
Speaker 3: what is this? I see the whole calendar of April here.
19:56
Speaker 5: Yeah, so for the whole calendar of April, we have
19:59
Speaker 5: several businesses that are.
20:00
Speaker 1: Helping us out.
20:03
Speaker 5: So in the blue are the businesses that are helping
20:05

Speaker 5: to you, send me a message I'll pay your eight dollars, Like,
23:37
Speaker 5: if you want this training, I want you to have
23:40
Speaker 5: this training. Really, prevention is the key to keeping our
23:46
Speaker 5: kids safe, teaching them the normal body parts, teaching them
23:50
Speaker 5: the right language, teaching them consent, teaching them how to
23:54
Speaker 5: say no and stand up for themselves. You know, the
23:57
Speaker 5: awareness and the education is not really in the schools.
24:00
Speaker 1: It should be. It's a hard topic and parents are
24:04
Speaker 1: usually the driver for those that.
24:06
Speaker 5: Education not being in the schools because they don't want
24:08
Speaker 5: their kids to learn something that they don't want to
24:10
Speaker 5: teach them. But at the same time, we're not that
24:13
Speaker 5: great about teaching our kids as early as we should
24:15
Speaker 5: be because we don't want to.
24:19
Speaker 1: We say they're too young.
24:20
Speaker 5: But when they're young is the time, because then are
24:23
Speaker 5: our kids aren't embarrassed.
24:24
Speaker 1: They're asking questions.
24:25
Speaker 5: It's just a they don't have any preconceived notions about
24:29
Speaker 5: it like we do because we're adults, so we've experienced it, right,
24:33
Speaker 5: Like they're that age to start this is eight, and
24:38
Speaker 5: so that they can ask questions and be informed and
24:40
Speaker 5: not be embarrassed because they're not already weirded out about it.
24:45
Speaker 5: And a lot of our disclosures happen when somebody at
24:47
Speaker 5: school finally, you know, a health class finally touches the
24:50
Speaker 5: topic and somebody is like, oh, you know, and then
24:55
Speaker 5: they're disclosing because if they've been having this behavior happened
24:58
Speaker 5: to them since they've been five.
25:00
Speaker 3: No, it's it's too late.
25:01
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's normal to them that they don't think anything
25:04
Speaker 5: is wrong.
25:04
Speaker 1: That's part of their household.
25:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have a question here. What objects are the kits?
25:12
Speaker 3: Our need are in the kits.
25:14
Speaker 5: I do something different every year on the kits, and
25:16
Speaker 5: I'm really excited about the kids. Shout out to Granite
25:18
Speaker 5: City Graphics and Allison on that she really she took
25:23
Speaker 5: it and ran with it with me this year and
25:25
Speaker 5: this year the kits have some great books from the
25:28
Speaker 5: Mama Bear Effect.
25:29
Speaker 1: That's m A M A B E A R.
25:31
Speaker 5: And anybody can go there and purchase stuff individually, but
25:36
Speaker 5: we purchased some bulk books.
25:37
Speaker 3: It's a website.
25:38
Speaker 1: It's a website.
25:39
Speaker 5: Tell me m A M A B E A R Effect,
25:43
Speaker 5: Mama Bear Okay, And she has amazing posters.
25:49
Speaker 1: She's got a great book.
25:52
Speaker 5: There's so many body safety books out there, but a
25:53
Speaker 5: lot of them are a little bit Wonky, So that's
25:55
Speaker 5: one that I really like. So the kids will be
25:57
Speaker 5: getting a body safety book. They'll be getting a coloring tote.
26:03
Speaker 5: So I got a tote that the kids can color
26:05
Speaker 5: wrong because they really like that, and it has a
26:09
Speaker 5: body safe It has a safety circle work project on
26:13
Speaker 5: the top of it. So basically it's gonna lead the
26:15
Speaker 5: kids through who are their safety people and who can
26:19
Speaker 5: they go to to talk to to trust because sometimes
26:22
Speaker 5: a child might think, oh, this is like a person,
26:25
Speaker 5: but that might not be a person.
26:27
Speaker 1: That might not be somebody.
26:28
Speaker 5: And then also learning if this person, if I go
26:31
Speaker 5: to this person and they I don't get what I
26:34
Speaker 5: need from them, who's my next person?
26:36
Speaker 1: Like these are my five people?
26:38
Speaker 5: Definitely, So depending on the situation, they feel like they
26:42
Speaker 5: can go somewhere else.
26:44
Speaker 3: We have a question or can can people make up
26:46
Speaker 3: and drop off kits?
26:51
Speaker 5: I would if somebody has an idea, I'd love for
26:53
Speaker 5: them to reach out to me directly. We love to
26:56
Speaker 5: have the more people who can be involved in this
26:59
Speaker 5: the best better, and I would love if somebody could
27:03
Speaker 5: would reach out to me. They can reach out to
27:05
Speaker 5: me on our Facebook and feel free to drop my
27:08
Speaker 5: email in there. JD yeah, I'm gonna put not a
27:12
Speaker 5: calendar myself. The number listed there is my cell phone,
27:16
Speaker 5: so people can call and text that anytime if they
27:18
Speaker 5: have questions, because I want to get as many.
27:23
Speaker 1: Kids out.
27:24
Speaker 5: You know, we did the Williamstown Festival this fall with
27:27
Speaker 5: Lindsey again and we handed out probably like four hundred
27:31
Speaker 5: really items to people just with you know, some awareness.
27:35
Speaker 1: And some tools.
27:36
Speaker 3: Crystal's asking, so can we go to this website and
27:40
Speaker 3: buy products for you?
27:41
Speaker 1: Yes?
27:42
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I would absolutely, And we've already bought a ton
27:47
Speaker 5: of products this year, so if people wanted to make
27:50
Speaker 5: a nominal donation towards that, I'd also be happy to
27:53
Speaker 5: tell them what we've purchased because I just bought I
27:57
Speaker 5: think like two hundred of the books. I bought a
28:00
Speaker 5: lot of this stuff in bulk because it's you know,
28:04
Speaker 5: it makes more sense. Yeah, but we're doing eight daycares
28:08
Speaker 5: this month, so I think we'll get you know, fifty
28:12
Speaker 5: bags out to those families, which is going to be great,
28:15
Speaker 5: trying to step into the daycares a little bit more
28:19
Speaker 5: because they're younger, and then they're going to bring that
28:21
Speaker 5: stuff home to their families sure, versus at school where
28:24
Speaker 5: it's a little bit distracting, and I'm kind of like
28:26
Speaker 5: imposing that on the teachers and the staff.
28:28
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I've got the the link for the Mama
28:32
Speaker 3: Bear effect right in the comments right here.
28:36
Speaker 1: That's a great website.
28:37
Speaker 3: But this calendar that you have, let's hit a few
28:43
Speaker 3: others here. You've got several things actually happening over at
28:47
Speaker 3: the Pub in Williamstown. Yes, two dollars off a pizza
28:52
Speaker 3: at the pub on the twenty fifth. This is just
28:55
Speaker 3: one of several half priced wings. The Roots is doing
29:01
Speaker 3: the buttermilk biscuit and donut Day.
29:04
Speaker 1: Yes, fresh and delicious. They're amazing.
29:07
Speaker 3: Oh there are any carbons in that?
29:09
Speaker 1: Probably not not on this day, Okay, not on the
29:12
Speaker 1: twenty eight. Yeah.
29:13
Speaker 5: And they've got some great seeds and soil there for
29:15
Speaker 5: Earth Day. They're doing Earth Day there on the twenty second,
29:19
Speaker 5: and they have some great seeds there that you don't
29:21
Speaker 5: see at the regular store. So you're a gardener, that's
29:25
Speaker 5: definitely a cool place to check out.
29:31
Speaker 3: We as as so many parents and I've been I
29:37
Speaker 3: have been guilty of it, pretty naive with a lot
29:42
Speaker 3: of things. Let our guard down so easily and slowly,
29:52
Speaker 3: but surely I'm learning to not be so trusting of
29:57
Speaker 3: everything that that I see, that I hear in this world,
30:01
Speaker 3: and we try to we try to instill that in
30:06
Speaker 3: our in our kids, to not live always with a
30:12
Speaker 3: barrier up and and live fearfully, but just to be smart,
30:19
Speaker 3: just have real awareness and recognize what's what's good, what's
30:27
Speaker 3: maybe questionable. And you know, and one of the things
30:32
Speaker 3: that you and I have chatted about in the past
30:35
Speaker 3: is the world online and how unbelievably, unbelievably dark it
30:43
Speaker 3: is and how that can come right into what we're
30:48
Speaker 3: talking about here today. I hear stories. There are stories
30:55
Speaker 3: that make the headlines, big stories that make the headlines
30:58
Speaker 3: of kids changing passwords to be able to have their
31:05
Speaker 3: privacy to communicate with someone that they feel that they
31:09
Speaker 3: know and trust who is a stranger, and the next
31:11
Speaker 3: thing you know, they're meeting up with them. And I
31:14
Speaker 3: mean just the headlines alone that we hear on this stuff,
31:19
Speaker 3: not to mention all the stories that are happening around
31:22
Speaker 3: our nation in the world, frankly, with trafficking and things
31:29
Speaker 3: that are happening that we don't read about or see
31:32
Speaker 3: or hear in the headlines. This is crazy, crazy stuff.
31:37
Speaker 5: It is crazy, and it definitely is happening, and it's
31:39
Speaker 5: happening here. I mean, we have trafficking cases that happen
31:42
Speaker 5: all through Vermont, and we have you know, plenty of
31:47
Speaker 5: sexting cases with you know, young kids ten, eleven, twelve,
31:56
Speaker 5: you know, and we don't it's hard to have those
31:58
Speaker 5: conversations with our kids. We don't want to think like, oh,
32:01
Speaker 5: is my twelve year old in their bedroom taking photos
32:04
Speaker 5: of their body parts?
32:05
Speaker 1: They could be yea.
32:07
Speaker 5: And at this point it's not really a matter of
32:11
Speaker 5: you know, teaching absence never did anything to anybody, So
32:15
Speaker 5: I think it's really we need to have the conversations
32:17
Speaker 5: of this is what happens when you do it, like
32:19
Speaker 5: you might make the choice to do this, And if
32:22
Speaker 5: you're going to give your child a phone when they're ten,
32:24
Speaker 5: you should know that you're giving them the opportunity to
32:26
Speaker 5: do that. And I'm sorry if you don't want me
32:31
Speaker 5: to say that, but that.
32:31
Speaker 1: Is that is.
32:34
Speaker 3: The consequences are permanent there forever, yep. And you as
32:39
Speaker 3: a parent, no matter how much you love your kid,
32:41
Speaker 3: you cannot take those consequence consequences away.
32:45
Speaker 1: No, they're going to be up there.
32:46
Speaker 5: And you know, some kids are then, you know, really
32:51
Speaker 5: harming themselves and having some really awful repercussions because of
32:55
Speaker 5: these things.
32:57
Speaker 1: So really a lot.
32:58
Speaker 3: To suicide at the very least mental health problems that
33:04
Speaker 3: are long standing.
33:05
Speaker 6: Yeah.
33:05
Speaker 1: Absolutely so.
33:07
Speaker 5: A lot of the conversations now have turned to like
33:10
Speaker 5: don't do it, to okay, you did it, Now what
33:12
Speaker 5: are we going to do?
33:14
Speaker 1: You know, like what is going to happen?
33:16
Speaker 5: Like you need to you know, no longer just say
33:19
Speaker 5: don't do it, because saying that doesn't work. Like if
33:22
Speaker 5: you take this photo of yourself and you send it
33:24
Speaker 5: to X y Z people here here is the long
33:27
Speaker 5: game plan of all these things that could happen.
33:30
Speaker 3: There's a digital footprint yep forever yep. Absolutely can raise it.
33:35
Speaker 5: No, no, and once it gets out, I mean, you know,
33:39
Speaker 5: it just takes one screenshot.
33:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know of it amazing.
33:44
Speaker 5: And and a lot of times they are sending it
33:47
Speaker 5: either to their friends, you know her, their friends in
33:48
Speaker 5: the moment, and it's so hard to explain to somebody
33:53
Speaker 5: like this.
33:53
Speaker 1: Is your best friend.
33:54
Speaker 5: Now, this is probably not going to be your best friend.
33:57
Speaker 5: And four four years or four months, I mean now
34:00
Speaker 5: as adults, like we have loved and lost.
34:03
Speaker 1: And we know that that's a thing.
34:05
Speaker 5: But when until you have experienced that over and over again,
34:07
Speaker 5: you just don't know, and you think that the people
34:10
Speaker 5: who are telling you are just completely have lost their minds.
34:14
Speaker 3: I feel like I feel like I'm so glad that
34:19
Speaker 3: I grew up as a kid. When I grew up, yeah.
34:23
Speaker 1: No phone.
34:24
Speaker 5: I got a phone in college and it was like
34:26
Speaker 5: the Nokia rubber thing with the little antenna.
34:31
Speaker 1: I remember well, the T nine texting.
34:34
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, you know. What I keep here at the
34:37
Speaker 3: studio as a prop is my dad's first cell phone,
34:42
Speaker 3: first cell phone that ever came out in I think
34:46
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure it was nineteen eighty three. Look at this,
34:49
Speaker 3: I keep it here all the time.
34:50
Speaker 5: I did have the bag there it is that looks
34:52
Speaker 5: like the one that was in the big back.
34:55
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, this is. It weighs about one hundred pounds. Yeah, yeah,
35:00
Speaker 3: I know. I mean this. Who knew that these things
35:04
Speaker 3: were going to.
35:06
Speaker 6: The world rule the world?
35:08
Speaker 3: Yep? You know, God, I remember, you know, if you
35:14
Speaker 3: were going to call anyone in Europe, you know, it's
35:18
Speaker 3: so expensive.
35:19
Speaker 1: Yeah.
35:19
Speaker 3: Now, it's like the connectivity. It's the information age, man,
35:23
Speaker 3: Everybody's connected all over the planet, and it's so dangerous.
35:27
Speaker 1: It can be for sure, very very tricky.
35:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's super convenient. But our kids are
35:32
Speaker 3: falling victim to a lot of this stuff making. I mean, listen,
35:36
Speaker 3: plenty of adults make horrifically bad decisions, but as a kid, man,
35:42
Speaker 3: you know, it's like you're growing up. You haven't your
35:45
Speaker 3: brain hasn't developed you.
35:47
Speaker 5: You're not even given the chance to make the bad decision.
35:49
Speaker 5: If I'm on Instagram at ten thirty at night, I
35:51
Speaker 5: know I shouldn't be doing it, you know. I mean,
35:53
Speaker 5: I have a block on my own phone, so sure
35:56
Speaker 5: that I can't do that. So if I can't, if
35:58
Speaker 5: I have to block my own phone, yeah, to get
36:00
Speaker 5: off social media, so I'm not bombarding my friends with reels.
36:04
Speaker 5: Sure at ten thirty laughing myself, you know, like thinking,
36:10
Speaker 5: pulling myself that this is my great and my great
36:12
Speaker 5: healthy nighttime routine.
36:13
Speaker 3: You said just like Charyline. You sound just like Sharylon. Yeah,
36:18
Speaker 3: I know I can't do it.
36:20
Speaker 1: They're not gonna be able to.
36:21
Speaker 3: I know it's this, it's crazy, But what you guys
36:24
Speaker 3: are doing is you're you're bridging a gap. I mean,
36:27
Speaker 3: you're you're also protecting kids, and you're also dealing with
36:31
Speaker 3: an awful lot of it's happened. What do we do now?
36:37
Speaker 3: How do we how do we pick up the pieces
36:40
Speaker 3: and move forward and try to repair as much damage
36:44
Speaker 3: as possible. But you're also bridging a gap with with
36:48
Speaker 3: your community, and this is going to have like big
36:53
Speaker 3: time residual effect on kids in a positive way. I
36:56
Speaker 3: hope just this one thing that you're doing, I hope.
36:59
Speaker 1: So, I hope.
36:59
Speaker 5: So this is our first time doing April like this.
37:01
Speaker 5: I'm hopeful that next year we'll get some more businesses involved,
37:06
Speaker 5: because I mean we've probably spent close to three thousand
37:10
Speaker 5: dollars on the prevention materials, so you know, it would
37:15
Speaker 5: be it is my hope not to use this as
37:18
Speaker 5: a fundraising tool, but to use it to pay for
37:21
Speaker 5: the prevention materials, so, you know, because that stuff is expensive.
37:27
Speaker 5: I mean you're on the website. A book is six dollars,
37:31
Speaker 5: you know. So if I want every child to have
37:34
Speaker 5: a book that they can actually take home versus just
37:36

43:16
Speaker 5: so when you click on it with your phone and
43:18
Speaker 5: might say like you're being sent to Canva. Okay, so
43:22
