  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: I've had a lot of different titles the past, thrown
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: at me the past couple of days, and obviously they're
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: in jest, and everybody wants to honor you with that
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: title of commissioner.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Now I got it, I got Well, it's a big honor.

• 4:56
  Speaker 7: and tries to do what he can for as many
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: people as he can a not a Putnam County native.
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: Born in Campbell's Creek and Charleston, grew up there for
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: a few years.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: How was that downtown Campbell's Creek or the suburbs.
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: I was probably in the suburbs.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: Suburbs of I. You want to make sure we clear
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: that up.
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: I could walk to Midway Elementary, but you know, I
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: got you go ahead. It was on the suburbs there.
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: Then moved to the suburbs of Clindenn and.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Oh boy, moving on up.
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: I grew up in Clindenn and went to Herbert Hoover
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: High School. Lived there till got married. I was actually
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: already working at my current job at Conall Scales and Systems,
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: which was in Nitro at the time, So ended up
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: moving to Putnam County. Found that's the only place I
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: could afford at the time. I found a little small
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: house in Buffalo and have just grown to love it there.
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: Uh wouldn't move for anything, just it's a great place
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: to live, work and play.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: What is it about that area?
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: We'll say all of Putnam County, but then we'll even
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: kind of shrink it down to where you are in
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: that area of the canty.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: What is it that you like about it so much, just.
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: The friendliness of the people. It's hard to find someone
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: that doesn't want to just stop and talk to you
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: for a few minutes. A little town of Buffalo that
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: I live in, everybody knows everybody. Seems like you can
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: just walk down the street and pick up a conversation
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: with anybody. Maybe a little easier for me because all
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: the activities that I do at the high schools that
• 6:28
  Speaker 7: people tend to know me more than I might know them.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: What do you do at the high school?
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: Started announcing football at Buffalo in nineteen ninety two, and
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: now I announced all the football games at the Buffalo,
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: announced all the basketball games other sports. As I can,
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: I will usually go in, like for senior nights, to
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: do their announcements for their senior nights and things like that.
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: So you're the voice of Buffalo High School. That's what
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: I've been called. So as much as the can at Buffalo.
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: During the spring, I am tied up at Lately Field.
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: I do all the track meets at late. Yeah you
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: want a job here, well let's talk about that late
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: You can.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Have this one if you want time Sundays.
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: Now, you guys are I'm good at saying who carried
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: the ball and what it's third down to ten? Yeah,
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: I'm not good at keeping up with sixty minutes of
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: conversation like you can.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: I got you, I got you. So what made you
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: decide to do this?
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, there was an opening on the Putnam County
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Commission the resignation of Steve Dewis.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: That's stories well documented.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: So it was a process several I mean, I think
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: the final total was well over twenty two, twenty three
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: maybe something, maybe more. The people that wanted this, the
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: commissioners couldn't decide and went back to the Putnam County
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Republican Executive Committee.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: They debated back and forth and who to.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Get and then mister Ellison mister Skidmore were able to
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: agree on you. But what made you decided to want
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: to do this?
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: To begin with?
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: I have been on town Council in Buffalo for the
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: past six years. We just had we just obviously in
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: the election, I was reelected. It would have been the
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: seventh and eight years, but I can't hold two positions,
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: so unfortunately I had to resign that position yesterday. I'd
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: always been involved in just a lot of community activities,
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: I don't sit well. I don't stand around well. I
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: like to get involved and do things. From like when
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: my kids were in elementary school, I was the president
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: of the PTO. This seems like everything that they moved
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: up as the kids got older, I tended to get
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: a little more involved in some of those activities in
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: the community, just like working with others and seeing things
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: get better for our kids, better for our community. Of course, again,
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: a lot of my time is spent around high school sports,
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: so working with the youth, working with those athletes, just
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: to get to see the smile on their face when
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: they accomplished something, and then that just kind of transpired
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: into all the rest of the community things that I've
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: been involved in. I've been on parks and recreation in
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: Putnam County for probably twenty twenty five years. I don't
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: I'm not real good at keeping track of when I
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: start things, so I probably should do a better job
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: with that, but I don't. Uh So, been on parks
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: and recreation for about twenty five years. Got a little
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: glimpse of what goes on in the belly of the
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: whale of government from that standpoint. Be honest, I didn't
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: get a call from someone a friend and said, you know,
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: obviously I know Steve Dewe and you know knew the
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: situation there. Someone called and said, hey, I've heard your
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: name battered around. Why don't you consider it? So give
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: it a little thought. A few days and hey, throw
• 9:44
  Speaker 7: your name in the ahatt.
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: And see what happens.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: And here we are.
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: Here we are.
• 9:48
  Speaker 7: When I that, when I seen that final list of
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: twenty one people, and there's some.
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: Qualified people on that list.
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: There was I mean, it's a who's who of who
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: does what in Putnam County, good qualified people. And at
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: that point I was like, if I get it, fine,
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: If I don't, there's some good people there. There are
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: some good people in place to do that.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: But they chose you. I was shocked.
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: It was I guess it was more of an honor.
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: I was sitting there when the two commissioners were back
• 10:24
  Speaker 7: in their executive session and to decide, and someone was
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: asking me. He said, well, what are you feeling right now?
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: And I said, well, I'm stealing this from somebody. But
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: during the last campaign, one of the campaigns were talking
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: about how they were feeling about their returns coming in
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: and they said nauseously optimistic, nauxiously optimistic.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: I like that.
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: So I was nauseously optimistic sitting there in that meeting, thinking,
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: you know, you gotta want the job or stay out. So, yeah,
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: I wanted the job, and I told them I wanted
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: the job. I told Commissionery Lsnisoner Skidmore that I did
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: want the job, but I was nauseously nauxiously optimistic.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: We're talking to Doug Pearson, who's the new county Commissioner
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Putnham County. But Dave Island showing five any line brought
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: to you in part by Snap Fitness. Snap has a
• 11:14

• 11:22
  Speaker 3: the month, get free activation with a monthly contract. Visits
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: snap fitness dot com for complete details. All right, so,
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: what are some of the projects that you see yourself
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: working on for Putnam County. Once you get in, you
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: get settled in to the position, what's some things that
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: are kind of on your radar.
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: Again, And that's the thing that I've got a lot
• 11:41
  Speaker 7: of learning to do. I am two days into the job,
• 11:46
  Speaker 7: and really don't even have my feet on the ground yet,
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: but things that I see as big opportunities for Putnam County.
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: Obviously with the location next to the new Core plant,
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: I in my current job have do a little bit
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: of work there at the new Corp plant. So from
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: my house in Buffalo to Newcore was thirty minutes. So
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: that is a good situation for some people that are
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: going to be working at the Newcore plant. If we
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: could get some additional housing in that Fraser's Bottom Buffalo area,
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: then those people are going to be thirty minutes away
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: from the plant.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: And we're seeing I had last week, I had moregantentee
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: on from the Putnam County Development Authority, and we've seen
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: this grant money that's gonna be coming in for infrastructure
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: because there is and I've talked about the listeners know,
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: I've talked about it on the show, Commissioner, there is
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: a lot of there is a lack of housing, not
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: just in Putnham County, but in the entire Advantage Valley
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: area from Kanah and putting Cable in there as well.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: We got to get some houses, man right, for these people,
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: especially in Putnam, for these people that are coming.
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: In exactly, and talking to a couple of builders last
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: night kind of cornered me at the basketball game, and
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: it's like, Okay, now that you're a commissioner, you fix this.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: You fix here it comes, Yeah, you fix this.
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: And I enjoyed talking to them, you know, and it's
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: things that I did not understand yet but I will
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: again too. That's you know, if you tell me something
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: that it's a concern, I may not be able to
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: fix it, but I Am going to check into it
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: and see what can be done.
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: Uh. But if there are hurdles for these builders, we need.
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: To remove those or make them as easy as possible
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: for so that we can get that housing in Putnam
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: County because it is going to be a boom.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's already started. I mean, I mean right you
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: know there.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, we we're seeing townhouses go up a couple
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: of different complexes in Winfield right down from where I
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: live in Tay's Valley, the property near Wendy's. Uh, there
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: is is going up. I mean, and we need but
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: we need more. Has been pointed out.
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: The town homes and the condos and everything are great,
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: but we also need some some some family units as well,
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: some more and not saying that families couldn't live in those,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: but we need some some actual houses built in Putnam
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: County as well, exactly.
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: I think we you know, we could support a lot
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: more and then. And that's the the great part about
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: Putnam County. It is a great place to live. There's
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: a lot of good things going on in Putnham County.
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: You know, a lot of people are said, well, what
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: can you fix? What can you fix? What can you
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: fix us? There's not a lot of things that need
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: a terrible overhaul. You know, Putnham County is doing pretty good.
• 14:13
  Speaker 7: Our schools are great. We have great schools and people
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: are attracted to those because of the quality of the

• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Rob Reel from our sister station ninety six to
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: one KWS this morning.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: How you doing, man?
• 20:34
  Speaker 9: My feet are freezing for those of you playing our
• 20:38
  Speaker 9: home game. We have been in major renovation here at
• 20:42
  Speaker 9: eleven eleven Virginia Street East pretty much since I returned
• 20:45
  Speaker 9: almost two years ago, but really the last year, and
• 20:48
  Speaker 9: apparently somewhere in the midst of all this, the HVAC
• 20:52
  Speaker 9: did not get turned on or operate properly this morning,
• 20:56
  Speaker 9: and so I am bone chilled from the ankle down,
• 21:00
  Speaker 9: which is kind of appropriate for what we're fitting to.
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: Talk about yeah, exactly.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: And one of the things I love about this building,
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: this building, like you know, it's like two hundred years old,
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: and it's it was a mansion, you know at one point,
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: and not Joe No, not Joe mansion. No, it was
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: a building, a mansion, and depending what room you were in,
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: the temperature is different. Now like up in my area,
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: the fund zone is what we call our office. I
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: now I had all this. I had an office by myself,
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: and now I have Bobby Spry sales weasel, I have TJ. Meadows, uh,
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: and I also have Leah who I'm not sure what
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: Lea does. She she does billings, she counts things or
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: something like that. Together, but it was pretty comfortable up there.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: I walk downstairs. Poor poor Tracy, in the words of
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: my good buddy Ricky Morton, you can hang meat downstairs
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: right now because because poor Tracy's frozen to death up front.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: So it's always something different.
• 21:51
  Speaker 9: I think we have diversified here at WRC Media. We
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: are storing meat here in this part of the building,
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: up in my less Nessman office because you know, I
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: have three walls but no door, but you have a window.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: I do have.
• 22:04
  Speaker 9: I don't have a window I have. I'm not just
• 22:06
  Speaker 9: a winder. I have a fire escape. So y'all are
• 22:08
  Speaker 9: out of luck.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: But apparently we are growing orchids where where I am,
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: so you never know. It's at times, good times and
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: great oldies. All right, Rob Real is here we are
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: one this time one week from today, especially being cold,
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: we're all gonna be well. I won't be at that
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: time because I'll be on the air here, but I'll
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: be out there throughout the day. It is our second
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: annual WVRC Media Sock Drop, brought to you by Panhandling,
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Cleaning and Restoration seven am till six pm on our
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: parking lot. You don't even have to get out of
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: the car. We determined I think the last time we
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: did something like this that it's actually an oval as
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: well an ellipse.
• 22:41
  Speaker 9: If an ellipse, can can you tell somebody used to
• 22:44
  Speaker 9: be married to a math teacher. It's a total ellipse
• 22:47
  Speaker 9: of the heart, is what it is out there. So
• 22:48
  Speaker 9: you don't even have to turn around in our parking lot.
• 22:50
  Speaker 9: You just make the little loop and you're all good.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: By the way it's been here lately with the ice
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: on the parking lot, it's kind of like you're going
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: to turn around whether you want to or not. But regardless, Uh,
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: where did you get this idea? Because this was kind
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: of your baby and I know you talked about it
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: last year, but where did this idea come from?
• 23:04
  Speaker 9: So of course we did our turkey drop in November,
• 23:08
  Speaker 9: and I talked about then growing up as a poor kid,
• 23:12
  Speaker 9: not just because we didn't have a lot of money.
• 23:14
  Speaker 9: We didn't, but my family's huge. I am second of ten.
• 23:19
  Speaker 9: Mom was fourth of nine, Dad was second of ten,
• 23:22
  Speaker 9: and when I was really young, my older brother and
• 23:27
  Speaker 9: a cousin and I were taken in by our paternal grandparents,
• 23:30
  Speaker 9: who still had five of their boys in the house.
• 23:34
  Speaker 9: We slept in shifts because there were eight boys sharing
• 23:37
  Speaker 9: a room and we shared pretty much everything, and me,
• 23:41
  Speaker 9: being the youngest and smallest out of that group of eight,
• 23:43
  Speaker 9: I got all of the hand me downs. The only
• 23:46
  Speaker 9: time I got new socks was for Christmas, so I'm
• 23:49
  Speaker 9: one of the I'm one of the rare ones who
• 23:51
  Speaker 9: always understood Christmas socks for Christmas was a great gift.
• 23:56
  Speaker 9: I think that's when you become an adult, when you
• 23:58
  Speaker 9: stop dreading getting socks and underwear for Christmas.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: And you realize, oh, this is awesome.
• 24:02
  Speaker 9: Yeah, so just the you know, my cold feet right now,
• 24:06
  Speaker 9: I walk to and from work two blocks apart. I
• 24:09
  Speaker 9: have nice, warm, safe, comfortable places to live and work,
• 24:14
  Speaker 9: and yet if my feet are cold, my day is done,
• 24:17
  Speaker 9: especially if it's wet and cold, which it's it's been
• 24:19
  Speaker 9: for about it seems two weeks now. So now think
• 24:22
  Speaker 9: about the folks who don't have a place to go
• 24:25
  Speaker 9: in this weather, our neediest friends and neighbors. The most
• 24:29
  Speaker 9: requested thing at service providers, at shelters is socks. And
• 24:35
  Speaker 9: so it struck me that this is just this is
• 24:36
  Speaker 9: a very simple, tangible thing that we can do to
• 24:40
  Speaker 9: help folks. We're not going to change the world. If
• 24:44
  Speaker 9: you want to change the policies that have things the
• 24:46
  Speaker 9: way they are, there are people, you know, about a
• 24:49
  Speaker 9: mile down the boulevard at a golden domed building who
• 24:53
  Speaker 9: handle that and have all just been seated, and they'll
• 24:56
  Speaker 9: work on that sort of stuff. I'm not a political guy.
• 24:58
  Speaker 9: I'm just a what can we do? What little thing
• 25:02
  Speaker 9: can I do? Can we do to help our friends
• 25:05
  Speaker 9: and neighbors. It's that simple for me.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: Talking to Rob Real from a Sister station, ninety six
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: to one k WS Dave Island showing five Any Live
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: is brought to you part by Morgan and Morgan with
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: more than twenty billion dollars recovered. They believe that when
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: you're injured, you deserve more. Morgan and Morgan in America's
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: largest injury law firm.
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: Big shout out.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: To the folks with Panhandle Cleaning and Restoration, Because anytime
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: that we say we're doing so when whenever Rob Real
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: gets a odd idea like collecting socks is not as
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: bad as walking to Morgantown, buddy, uh, But the folks
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: of Panhandle are like, yeah, can can we get involved?
• 25:36
  Speaker 9: Bob and Martin have pulled my fat out of the
• 25:38
  Speaker 9: fire yet again. For those of you who are not
• 25:42
  Speaker 9: familiar with what Panhandle Cleaning and Restoration.
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: Does, it's it's re mediation.
• 25:47
  Speaker 9: It's think about all those wildfires in southern California. Somebody
• 25:50
  Speaker 9: has to go in and clean up and maybe make
• 25:52
  Speaker 9: those spaces livable again for people. That's the sort of
• 25:55
  Speaker 9: thing that those cats are gonna do. They are gonna
• 25:57
  Speaker 9: save you when you know the sump pump breaks in
• 26:00
  Speaker 9: your basement, floods or u you know the pipes burst
• 26:04
  Speaker 9: and there's all sorts of mess left over from that.
• 26:06
  Speaker 9: That's what Panhandle Cleaning and Restoration does. They're gonna save you,
• 26:09
  Speaker 9: and apparently they're gonna save me once again as we
• 26:12
  Speaker 9: do our second annual WVRC meet. He had dropped your
• 26:15
  Speaker 9: socks drive through. And every time I say drop your socks,
• 26:19
  Speaker 9: I know every every man and a lot of women
• 26:21
  Speaker 9: who have been through basic training are snickering to themselves.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: I remember this story from last year. But there that
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: has another meaning to somebody who's served in the military.
• 26:31
  Speaker 9: It does if, especially in basic training, you have been
• 26:35
  Speaker 9: greeted with drop and socks ends.
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: The phrase don't get me fired.
• 26:40
  Speaker 9: I no, I don't even want to get me fired
• 26:43
  Speaker 9: from here again. Uh the I'll tell you when you're older.
• 26:48
  Speaker 9: The So anybody who's been through basically, and I am
• 26:52
  Speaker 9: told that the drill instructors, particularly male drill instructors of
• 26:57
  Speaker 9: women's basic training still use that even though it is
• 27:01
  Speaker 9: not necessarily applicable. Uh So, the folks who have served
• 27:07
  Speaker 9: in uniform are familiar with where drop your socks derives.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: And so that's just that's a little nod to all.
• 27:14
  Speaker 9: Of my brothers and sisters, all of the soldier, sailors,
• 27:17
  Speaker 9: marines and airmen who have served our country.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: And this is one of those things too, Rob, Although
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: you know this is kind of your baby. We're all
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: out there though, I mean, you know KWS is there,
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: but you're gonna see folks from V one hundred. Steven,
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: Jenny and Logan are going to be out there. I'm
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: going to be out there for you know, the different
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: stations I'm on here. Steve Animal will be there, Woody
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: Woods will be there, uh there, and so you're gonna
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: see a lot of your familiar people out there with
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: all these stations.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: That's one of the things that we.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: Do, yes here really really well, is we all come together,
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: you know, speaking of it, I have a phone call
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: for you, Rob.
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: Somebody wants to talk to you. All right, Ryan, if
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: you're ready, go ahead and put him through. Jim.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: You're on with Rob real, go ahead, Thank you a.
• 27:56
  Speaker 10: Lot, Dave, Hello, Rob, good morning. I've known around the
• 28:01
  Speaker 10: valley in very many ways, some good, some bad. But
• 28:06
  Speaker 10: I had to put two questions, Yes, sir, the suck
• 28:09
  Speaker 10: coof I was wondering if also with hats tobalgans could
• 28:19
  Speaker 10: be put in there also because people, you know, it's
• 28:24
  Speaker 10: good that their hands are warm, but they need to
• 28:28
  Speaker 10: keep their head warm. Also.
• 28:31
  Speaker 9: My answer to that is we will take it because
• 28:34
  Speaker 9: I know Union Mission will make sure it gets into
• 28:36
  Speaker 9: the right place, and we are grateful to have them
• 28:38
  Speaker 9: on board. They're really doing the heavy lifting with the distribution,
• 28:42
  Speaker 9: and if folks even want to do cash or check donations,
• 28:45
  Speaker 9: those are warmly accepted as well.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: You had a second question for me.
• 28:50
  Speaker 10: Yes, the two hundred year old building there where you're
• 28:55
  Speaker 10: ast is it handicap assessible?
• 29:00
  Speaker 9: Now certain parts of the building are the studios where
• 29:05
  Speaker 9: we are we can get you in. But the place
• 29:09
  Speaker 9: with all of the suits and the soft hands and
• 29:11
  Speaker 9: the hairdoes that's all?
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: But enough about me.
• 29:15
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that's still a whole lot harder to get into.
• 29:17
  Speaker 9: But I know here in the studios at least we
• 29:20
  Speaker 9: are mostly accessible.
• 29:23
  Speaker 10: Well I know I'm not for those either. The only
• 29:28
  Speaker 10: thing that teach me going is a good smile.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: All right, Jim, As always, you give us a smile
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: and we appreciate you calling them my friend.
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: Thanks a lot.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: Twenty four minutes away from ten and again, the folks
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: at Union Mission, I want to give a big shout
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: out to him as well well.
• 29:43
  Speaker 9: And yes, thank you for Union Mission for coming on
• 29:45
  Speaker 9: board to get these socks in the hands or rather
• 29:48
  Speaker 9: on the feet of the folks who are going to
• 29:50
  Speaker 9: need the most. And another thing I thought of with
• 29:52
  Speaker 9: regard to Jim's question is you don't have to get
• 29:55
  Speaker 9: out of your vehicle for this. You will be nice
• 29:58
  Speaker 9: and warm and safe and dry at you just make
• 30:00
  Speaker 9: that loop through our parking lot and we and the
• 30:02
  Speaker 9: folks from Union Mission will be glad to take your
• 30:05
  Speaker 9: donation and make sure we get going. We did almost
• 30:10
  Speaker 9: full four full barrels of new socks last year. I
• 30:14
  Speaker 9: would love to eclipse that. I'd love to get to
• 30:16
  Speaker 9: at least five if we could. And I know there
• 30:20
  Speaker 9: are lots of places around. Your lovely wife has pointed
• 30:23
  Speaker 9: out some of the places that have.
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: She just wants an excuse to shop.
• 30:26
  Speaker 9: Well, you know what, this is a great excuse to
• 30:29
  Speaker 9: do it this weekend. There are places I'm not much
• 30:32
  Speaker 9: for name dropping, but I will in this case. I
• 30:34
  Speaker 9: stopped at Marshall's the other day and was able to
• 30:36
  Speaker 9: find twelve packs of socks for ten bucks, less than
• 30:39
  Speaker 9: a dollar a pair. So I stocked up and I'm
• 30:41
  Speaker 9: making a donation myself, but.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: I'll drop a few. Olie's was one. My wife is
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: the Queen of Olie. She loves Olie's, and she said,
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: and also one of our good advertisers here. Eight is
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: the outlet. Yes, somebody texted in and said they actually
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: had heated socks there. Yes, so we'll give big shout
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: out to the folks at eight is the outlet there,
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: and Jefferson as well.
• 31:03
  Speaker 9: It's it's it's amazing the way people have already started
• 31:06
  Speaker 9: pulling together on this so that we can get as
• 31:09
  Speaker 9: many socks as possible. It's a simple little thing. It's
• 31:13
  Speaker 9: something that many of us take for granted until you
• 31:16
  Speaker 9: know it's gonna be fifteen degrees for the high on
• 31:18
  Speaker 9: Monday and a whole bunch of this stuff's gonna refreeze,
• 31:21
  Speaker 9: and you know, or when the heat doesn't work in
• 31:24
  Speaker 9: your studio in the morning and you're we frozen to
• 31:28
  Speaker 9: the bull.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: Just have this image of walking down a hall and
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Rob has opened up all the socks and he's got
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: his entire body covered them and things that they're covered everything,
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: and I'm gonna leave it there.
• 31:36
  Speaker 9: But it's just like a scene from American Beauty but
• 31:39
  Speaker 9: instead of rose petals.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: It sucks it socks it socks. All right, we'll be
• 31:42

• 36:36
  Speaker 14: Here to talk about it, we have hi I'm vetas Scarborough.
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: And we have Hope Griffith.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: All right, well, thank you both for being here. Tell
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: me something a little bit about you, folks before we
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: get into the performance.
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: Tell me about you.
• 36:49
  Speaker 14: Yeah, absolutely so. I have been doing theater for about
• 36:54
  Speaker 14: the last ten years, pretty much exclusively at the Alban.
• 36:58
  Speaker 14: I also worked during the day at the Clay Center,
• 37:01
  Speaker 14: so I'm a little performative there as well. But yeah,
• 37:05
  Speaker 14: that's really all there is to me theater and work.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: Okay, well, there's worse things than how about you.
• 37:10
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I have done theater since middle school. I've always
• 37:13
  Speaker 15: been really passionate about it. I normally do theater with
• 37:17
  Speaker 15: a Charleston Light Opera Guild, but I've also been doing
• 37:19
  Speaker 15: shows recently with the Alban and I love both. I
• 37:23
  Speaker 15: work for South Charleston Public Library as a youth assistant
• 37:28
  Speaker 15: and I'm starting a program there called Hopeful Endeavors hopefully
• 37:31
  Speaker 15: for young teens.
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: And the Alban Arts Center is a fantastic facility.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: I mean it really really is. It's a great facility.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: Talk about the play itself. It's one of those iconic plays.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: But for people that aren't familiar with Little Women, give
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: me the basic premise.
• 37:46
  Speaker 14: Absolutely, hope, do you want to take that? And just
• 37:49
  Speaker 14: because I wasn't really familiar, I know that's kind of illegal,
• 37:53
  Speaker 14: but I had never read the book or seen anything.
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: What's the whole thing about?
• 37:58
  Speaker 15: So it is about this family of you know, a
• 38:02
  Speaker 15: regular family of like a mother and father and they
• 38:05
  Speaker 15: have Joe, Amy, Beth and Meg and there are all
• 38:11
  Speaker 15: of this. It's about all of the sisters and all
• 38:13
  Speaker 15: of their struggles and their hardships, what they go through
• 38:15
  Speaker 15: and getting each other through the hard moments, but also
• 38:19
  Speaker 15: having so much fun together. And they all have very
• 38:21
  Speaker 15: different personalities, and it's mainly about Joe. Joe walks walks
• 38:28
  Speaker 15: through life and kind of takes all of these notes
• 38:30
  Speaker 15: and journals and she she ends up meeting this man,
• 38:35
  Speaker 15: Professor Bayer, who tells her that she needs to write
• 38:37
  Speaker 15: about her life and what she knows and that's her family.
• 38:41
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: So where does the title little Women come from?
• 38:45
  Speaker 15: I believe little Women is just I mean, I'm guessing it's.
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: Just about a little women.
• 38:51
  Speaker 14: I will say where it comes from. During the play itself,
• 38:54
  Speaker 14: we do receive a letter from our father in the play,
• 38:58
  Speaker 14: who's actually a way It's set the Civil War so
• 39:01
  Speaker 14: he's in the in the war at the time, and
• 39:03
  Speaker 14: he refers to us as little Women. There you got
• 39:05
  Speaker 14: bet her, So I don't know if that was realistic
• 39:07
  Speaker 14: to Alcott's life or where she got that name, though.
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: There's your answer right there.
• 39:11
  Speaker 11: Again.
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: We're talking to with some cast members of Little Women's
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: being presented at the Alban Arts Center in Saint Albans

• 39:38
  Speaker 3: you've had other dates.
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: So how's the how's it been so far?
• 39:41
  Speaker 14: I've had a great time. We've had great audiences despite
• 39:45
  Speaker 14: the weather. I know we were all a little bit
• 39:47
  Speaker 14: worried about that. We lost two of our Tech Week rehearsals,
• 39:50
  Speaker 14: so we were definitely a little anxious, but it has
• 39:53
  Speaker 14: been better than expected. It's been amazing.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: We should be good this time around, because I mean
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: it's gonna warm up and it's gonna be a little
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: rainy at the the folks tell me, uh, maybe on Saturday.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: But I mean, after what we've had, we'll take it.
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: We'll take ryan. Rain is fine. As long as it's
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: not inside the building, We're fine.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: And you'll work through that. You work through through through
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: that too. So I understand that we're gonna have a
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: little bit of a performance here.
• 40:14

• 40:16

• 40:45
  Speaker 15: to be brave for me. I know, don't tell Father

  Speaker 15: anyone but you, my Joe. But I can fill myself
• 40:55
  Speaker 15: slip a little each day like the tide going out.

• 45:29
  Speaker 3: Senator Jim jossmissed two votes in the Senate yesterday, his
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: second day on the job, and I'm told that both
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: were amendment votes on HAAVY to do with the Lincoln
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: Riley Act. Now I think Dave Wilson and TJ. Meadows
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: are going to get into that more on talk Line
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: coming up. A ten oh six not just in my opinion,
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: not a good look for the Senator. And like you,
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: one of the first things I thought was, well, did
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: Greenbrier East have a girls basketball game last night? They
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: did not, It's according to my research.
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: Now he was.
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: He was seen at a committee meeting earlier in the day,
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: so there was that. Don't know what the story was,
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: but he missed two votes on his second day in
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: the I mean you missed the first one maybe, but
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know about I mean or missed the second one,
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: but not not the first one anyway. And I was
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: talking with someone earlier this morning and said, maybe we
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: should keep a running total, maybe doing over under on
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: the no, maybe get Marty Gracasino involved on the number
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: of votes that he misses.
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: So that's that's where we are.
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: But you know not who let you can do about that.
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: Jeff Jenkins is here from the newsroom. Jeff, good morning.
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: I did want to give you an opportunity to kind
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: of update on what's going on with this big trial
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: with the Assistantville couple.
• 46:40
  Speaker 18: Yeah, so we've got another day of testimony. The prosecution
• 46:44
  Speaker 18: still presenting its case. Genie K. White Feather Donald Ray
• 46:48
  Speaker 18: Lance charged with about twenty counts of different things from
• 46:53
  Speaker 18: child neglect abuse to human trafficking some other things that
• 46:58
  Speaker 18: are in there. And so the prot Houston still presenting
• 47:01
  Speaker 18: its case and it started yesterday afternoon. They started putting
• 47:04
  Speaker 18: Sharf's deputies on the stand who had arrived at the
• 47:08
  Speaker 18: scene and started you know, investigating, found the two kids
• 47:13
  Speaker 18: in the shed, and then they got a search warrant
• 47:15
  Speaker 18: for the house. So so that's kind of what the
• 47:17
  Speaker 18: testimony has been. There was testimony by a deputy, one
• 47:21
  Speaker 18: of the first deputies to arrive there actually found the
• 47:24
  Speaker 18: kids in the shed, and so that was probably key
• 47:29
  Speaker 18: testimony there yesterday. So they're going through you know, you
• 47:32
  Speaker 18: get this in trials, you know, you got to get
• 47:33
  Speaker 18: through details, kind of lay the groundwork, and that's kind
• 47:36
  Speaker 18: of what the prosecution is doing now. So their first
• 47:39
  Speaker 18: witnesses again were a handful of neighbors and what neighbors
• 47:43
  Speaker 18: had observed about what they thought the treatment of the kids,
• 47:46
  Speaker 18: what they observed of how the kids were treated. And
• 47:49
  Speaker 18: now they've got the police, you know, they're talking about it,
• 47:54
  Speaker 18: and at some point I would think they're going to
• 47:55
  Speaker 18: put some of the kids on maybe and so we'll
• 48:00
  Speaker 18: be able to report on that, but not be able
• 48:03
  Speaker 18: and totally understandable. Yeah, you know, to record or photos
• 48:07
  Speaker 18: or anything like that, but that's you know, wouldn't do
• 48:09
  Speaker 18: that anyway, but that's not going to be allowed.
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: But we can.
• 48:11
  Speaker 18: We will be able to report on what the kids say.
• 48:13
  Speaker 18: So that will be a key because I think the well,
• 48:16
  Speaker 18: what the one of the things the defense is saying
• 48:18
  Speaker 18: is these kids are they're saying in a nice way,
• 48:21
  Speaker 18: they're misremembering, they're not remembering totally what happened. And so
• 48:27
  Speaker 18: it'll be that, you know, how how effective are the
• 48:31
  Speaker 18: children who testify, if there are any that testify. Of course,
• 48:35
  Speaker 18: that's going to be a decision that will be made
• 48:36
  Speaker 18: by the prosecution in this So we'll continue to watch it.
• 48:41
  Speaker 18: It could go for two weeks sometimes these things, if
• 48:45
  Speaker 18: you predicted that long, sometimes they go through the everdge
• 48:47
  Speaker 18: a little quicker, so it may not last that long,
• 48:49
  Speaker 18: but we'll see prosecution is still presenting their case. The
• 48:52
  Speaker 18: defenders they deny the charges. They say that they were
• 48:54
  Speaker 18: helping these kids, they adopted them, they were helping them,
• 48:58
  Speaker 18: but they had a lot of issues of baggage the
• 49:00
  Speaker 18: kids did, you know, a lot of past abuse and
• 49:02
  Speaker 18: different things, and and and they were struggling to know
• 49:05
  Speaker 18: how to help them. And so I think that's going
• 49:08
  Speaker 18: to that will be part of the defense. There's a
• 49:10
  Speaker 18: lot in there that they were in several states they
• 49:12
  Speaker 18: were paid money for you know, uh, you know, adopting
• 49:16
  Speaker 18: the keeping the kids. They were getting paid money by
• 49:18
  Speaker 18: this other states that they were in. So there's you know,
• 49:22
  Speaker 18: was their financial incentive to have this many kids? Did
• 49:25
  Speaker 18: they you know, these were siblings, did they did they
• 49:28
  Speaker 18: were they interested in one of you know, maybe one
• 49:30
  Speaker 18: kid over the other, but they got the other kids
• 49:32
  Speaker 18: with them, you know, so well, I mean there's a
• 49:34
  Speaker 18: lot of that going on, a lot of nuancing in
• 49:36
  Speaker 18: the trial. So but we're covering at Kat's skeleton's down
• 49:39
  Speaker 18: there this morning. We'll have Morgan Pemberton down there in
• 49:41
  Speaker 18: the afternoon. So we're covering it, uh uh morning and
• 49:44

• 50:11
  Speaker 3: Jimbo starting off the Senate career as expected absent, says
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: a Texter Texas Dave tired of religious exemptions. Every day
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: something new comes up. That's having to do a reference
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: to the vaccine situation that now Governor Morrissey mentioned in
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: his first press conference on Tuesday, and speaking of press conferences,
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: he does have a press conference scheduled for two o'clock
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: this afternoon. Now, this one is expected to focus on
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: the budget. From what I understand, and again I said
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: this folks on the show yesterday. You can like Patrick
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: Morrissey as governor, you cannot like him whatever. He is
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: kind of a polarizing figure. But I will say this,
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: I will give Governor Morrissey credit because and it may
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: not stay this way, but Patrick Morrissey, and I don't
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: mean this in a derogatory term because certain radio people
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: are the same way, including myself, never met a microphone
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: he didn't like.
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: So and I don't mean that in a bad way.
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: I think that's a good.
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: Thing for a politician. So I will give Governor Morrisey
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: credit for having in two days, well three days, I guess,
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: two press conferences. And on yesterday he was doing TV,
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: he was doing radio. He was on a talk line
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: with Meadows and Wilson yesterday. I saw last night on
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: the TV news he did set down interviews with everybody.
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: So I give him credit for that. Now again, that
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: press conference is at two o'clock today.
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: TJ. Meadows is here. How are you, sir? Doing well?
• 51:39
  Speaker 6: How are you?

  Speaker 9: lot happening. So I'm trying to get everything squared and
• 51:49
  Speaker 9: ready to go.

  Speaker 4: What have we got on talk line today?
• 51:52
  Speaker 9: So coming up on talk Line today, Delegate Joey Garcia
• 51:55
  Speaker 9: will kick the show off. Or actually I actually s
• 51:57
  Speaker 9: a Senator Joey Garcia.
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: My fault.
• 52:00
  Speaker 9: He wants to respond to what the governor said yesterday.
• 52:02
  Speaker 9: No surprise, he has a different view I think on
• 52:04
  Speaker 9: religious exemptions from vaccines.
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: We'll get into that. We'll talk to Ei with him.
• 52:08
