  Speaker 3: we've had just kind of some juggles some things around
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: here just a little bit because of the weather situation.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: We are going to bring in first now Metro News
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: mediorologist Brian Hughes, and Brian needs you to probably move
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: over here, sir, Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: We're kind of booking on the flyes we used to
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: say in the wrestling business. This year, we do want
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: to let you know. Coming up a little bit later
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: on Sonya Harrison, who's the CEO of the why w C. A.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Charles is gonna join. It's also Delaney Wells. It's gonna
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: stop by the studio as well. But we thought we
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: probably should start with weather today because I know, just
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: prior to us going on the air, there was an
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: emergency alert issued for a flash flood warning and areas
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: of Putnam County. So I'm gonna turn over to Brian
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Hughes right now.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: Brian, Well, what we have across parts of Putnam County
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: were rain totals in one hour that were around one
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: to one and a half inches worth of rain across
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: Putnam County. We're seeing the same thing as happened in
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: western Kanawk County as well as through the downtown Charleston area.
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: I mean, listen, I was just literally I walked from
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: my truck in here directly in the studio. There is
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: water in places that shouldn't be standing right now, and
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: it's filling all the drains. A matter of fact, as
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: I looked at my you know, just outside my boat,
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: the gully that was normally it's very very much a
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: trickle during the normal hours is full tilt going, you know,
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: one hundred miles an hour.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: It seems like so what I would not.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: Be surprised to see another flash club winning issue for
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: parts of Kanall County to be central western parts of
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: Kanawha County. But we've got this very heavy rainfall that's
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: passing by right now. This is very tropical atmosphere that
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: we're dealing with. I mean, this is moisture that is
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: part Atlantic as well as part Gulf. And so when
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: you combine those two and really what is a meandering
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: frontal boundary across the area, is that triggers everything that
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: we need to get some significant rainfall. So we've got
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: that right now. Matter of fact, when you look at
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: the radar, or when I look at the radars to say, radio,
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: you got some significant rain that's all across Kanawll County
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: up across the Systemville area, and it's just west of Summersville,
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: going to be across Montgomery and all across parts of
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: Lincoln County out Wayne as well Huntington and the Clear.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: So we've got baseball that they can play for the
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: rest of the first games of ten o'clock. Yeah, So,
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: I mean it's gonna be soaking wet field, but they're
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: gonna be able to play.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Thankfully.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: They can even get some dryers out there, and I
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: don't know if they particularly have them out there, but
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: they they'll be able to play baseball today without pretty
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: much any issue because all the showers and storms will
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: be out of there, but right now, very heavy rainfall
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: across Knawa County, and especially especially right now it is
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: literally the heaviest rain is in downtown Charleston at the moment.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: So during right before the show, I was in the
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: green room and our guests st are a little bit delayed.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: One of those particular because I understand that she got
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: caught in the rain and had to do a quick
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: wardrobe chap what I understand. But I but I was
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: sad in the green room out there, and I mean
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: I heard something like hitting up the side of the building.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: I thought, what is that and I guess it was
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: that our gutter system here couldn't handle all the rain
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: which is banging against the side of the building.
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was My dog got out, so so I
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: I mean I saw her on the cameras. She was
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: running after my truck. So I saw on the cameras.
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: I went back and when I got there, I was like, well,
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: that's the week I didn't know I had. So, I mean,
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: that's so that's what today. That's what the rain is
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: right now is going to be a rain that you
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: final leaked you never knew you had. That's how heavy,
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: it's coming out.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: When should it start to wind down? Because if you
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: say they're gonna be playing baseball in Huntington at ten o'clock,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: I mean here in the Kanaw Valley, Putnam County, when
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: should this start way down?
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: Well, heav the rainfall is ending. We've got light rain now, Winfield.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: Rain is now lighter in Tays Valley, and it'll be
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: ending in those areas within the next about fifteen to
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: thirty minutes. And for downtown Charleston, the heaviest rain gonna
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: be here with this is maybe about ten more minutes
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: and then we'll still have some moderate rainfall. So over
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: the next hour to hour and a half we're gonna
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: see that clearing out. But the problem is he's just
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: dealing with it for now, so I wouldn't again, if
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: they don't issue a flash flow money, I'll be very
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: surprised because all the markers are there. I mean, we're
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: checking the boxes on everything as far as what we've
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: had over the last number of days, plus the one
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: hour rainfall total. As matter of fact, the newest newest
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: number that I have for uh, let's see the one
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: hour rainfall totals are. Yeah, I look in at and
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: inch and a half worth of rain in the last
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: hour that should trigger a flash flood flash flood warning
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: across t A right now, and they're gonna they're gonna
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: look at a number of things that particularly I'm not
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: looking at. But as far as you know what, we've
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: got very heavy rainfall that's more get its way across
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: the entire area.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: So are there any certain areas that are of concern
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: right now? I mean, I know we got standing water
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: on the roads, But are there any certain areas that
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: we we know that there are that there are that
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: there's flight.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: On well, I mean, all you have to do is
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: look at the oak Wood camera. If they swing that around,
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: you'll be able to see what's happening there on the Intersetate.
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: When I was driving on the Intertate, right there, there's
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: a there's a lower spot as you go by a
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: Laley Field and there's just a little dip there that
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: was people were swing down because I mean it was
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: entrenched in water. Actually a hydroplane going going back towards my,
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: uh my place just a little bit ago. In fact,
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: I hydra I'll tell you this. I call my best friend.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: I told him, I said, Josh is a hydroplane like
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: it was winter. I mean, my truck went three different
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: ways and that was thankfully nobody else was around me.
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: But I mean, that's that's the kind of rain we're
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: dealing with right now. Just incredibly heavy rainfall.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: But it is expected to wind down, that's what you're saying.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: I just got a note from from ritten Burton City
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: councilman and he says, hey, he's in Huntington now for
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: the baseball games GW versus Huntington. It's just stoped braying
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: and showing signs of clearing. So that's exactly what we.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Concerned though, that if we get because I know the
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: way this works sometimes, Brian, if we get a little
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: sunshine that it could actually not be beneficial a little later.
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: Well, the we do have drier air that's working its
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: way in from the west now late this afternoon.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Because I see I see.
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: A window of clearing that's going to be you know,
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: early afternoon, like mid day ish to early afternoon to
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: deeper in the afternoon. There could be enough heat that's
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: triggered maybe one or two stray thundershowers this afternoon and
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: go just briefly go into the early evening.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: That's about it.
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: Tomorrow though, I mean, this is, this is, this is
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: not what we need for the heat in X value tomorrow.
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: I mean, this is going to just pump the heat
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: up because we get the heat along with this humidity
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: heating next value tomorrow ninety six to one hundred degrees.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: Then I'm actually more concerned about Friday. Yeah, yeah, Friday
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: is severe weather possible. And of course you've got the
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: you know what's happening with the live on the levee.
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: That's the last thing we need, especially for the band
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: that we've just spend. Doctors are going to be there,
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: but so they're you know, they're already trying to make
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: some plans in case or just in case.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Looking good, but right we're just trying to get over
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: the next couple of hours.
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Got a text here It says West Washington storm sewers
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: are backed up with rivers coming down the West Side
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Hills streets.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'll say this.
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: I'm I'm very surprised that we do not have a
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: flash flood warning out right now.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: I matterick I would have issued one, but you know, hey.
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: I'm I'm just private media which bride fact.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: That is correct.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: And I appreciate you coming in because it was like
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: I was texted with you earlier and then we had
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: some like I said, some scheduling. We had to it
• 9:03

  Speaker 5: going on. We can literally see on the radar. Uh,
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: that's what because that's what I was looking at the radar.

  Speaker 3: Right, Well, how about we go with it with miss Harriston.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: How's that? Cays Sonya Harrison or soniadn't know which parody asked.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: He's the chief executive officer of y w C Charleston.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Good morning, and welcome to the show.
• 13:44
  Speaker 8: Thank you. It's a pleasure to be here.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: And I know he had a little struggle of getting
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: you here this morning because even as as the person
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: in charge of the y w C Charleston, you're not
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: impervious to the weather.
• 13:55
  Speaker 8: That is correct. I was not sure if I needed
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: to build an arc or what because I was definitely
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: floating around there.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: We got you, We got you in here now. So
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: tell us about the why w WHYWC organization here in Charles,
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: because I feel sometimes, Sonya, that people they hear the
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: name YWCA or why w C Charleston, maybe they don't
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: realize all you do because it's a lot.
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: It'sation, and typically people will either think of Sojourners Shelter
• 14:26
  Speaker 8: or their think of result. But we have Sojourners Shelter
• 14:30
  Speaker 8: for Women and Families, which is a seventy five bed shelter.
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: It's for homeless women and family, so a man with
• 14:38
  Speaker 8: children can stay there as well. We have the domestic
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: Violent Shelter we have and our domestic violent Shelter is probably,
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: I believe, the only one in the state that also
• 14:49
  Speaker 8: has a pet shelter because oftentimes people won't leave and
• 14:54
  Speaker 8: leave their pets behind, so we have a pet shelter.
• 14:56
  Speaker 8: We have Melwolf is our child development center. We have Shankland,
• 15:01
  Speaker 8: which is permanent supportive housing for elderly women who have
• 15:06
  Speaker 8: suffered elder abuse or chronic homelessness, and that's permanent supportive housing.
• 15:13
  Speaker 8: We have Alicia McCormick Homes, which is transitional housing for
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: people who have been stalked, suffered dating violence, sexual assault,
• 15:24
  Speaker 8: human trafficking, all of that. We have the Past and
• 15:27
  Speaker 8: Present Thrift Store, which we've turned into a social enterprise
• 15:31
  Speaker 8: and with that we do the funds from that service
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: our different programs. It also we wardrobe people because when
• 15:42
  Speaker 8: you're leaving homelessness, you don't necessarily pack a bag and
• 15:46
  Speaker 8: so we will provide clothing for them through that. So
• 15:50
  Speaker 8: we do wardrobing. We also wardrobe our clients for job
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: interviews and what have you, and do retail training for
• 15:59
  Speaker 8: people who want to learn that. We have our workforce
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: development program, which we do at the Margaret Taylor Job
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: Readiness Program. We have a visitation in exchange facility where
• 16:14
  Speaker 8: court ordered visitation can take place and the perpetrator and
• 16:19
  Speaker 8: the victim do not have to be in the same space.
• 16:22
  Speaker 8: They're different doors and what have you. I'm trying to
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: think if I forgot I.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: Mean, we're almost into like the third hour of the
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: show here, and it's only a one hour show. But
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: I one of the reason I wanted to bring that up.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: And I'm sure there's some things that you left out,
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: but I want to bring it up so people realize
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: what an all encompassing organization this is and all the
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: things that you do that people may just may not
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: be aware of.
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: So basically, we service you from six weeks old and
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: we have programs that will help you all the way
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: through your senior years.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: The Dave Island Show on five Vedie Line Browns You
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: Part by Mortgan to Morgan America's just Injury law firm.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: If you're injured, visit forthpeople dot com. You got an
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: event coming up understand on the twenty second of this
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: month of motorcycle event.
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: Yes, we do that in concert with West Virginia American
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: Water and it's a bike ride for freedom, and so
• 17:17
  Speaker 8: different motorcycle clubs participate and they drive. I think they
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: go to Great River the New River Gorge, but I'm
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: not exactly sure.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Well, they're going now, we'll travel.
• 17:32
  Speaker 8: So if they're not going that far, it is a lovely.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Ride, sure, one of the most beautiful areas of the state.
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: So whatever wherever they're going, they start at our Catherine
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: Kitty Dooley Center with breakfast. All of the bikers get
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: there and they leave from there, and then they end
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: at the Shawnee part.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: The Shawnee Sports Company. Yeah. Great. I remember last year
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: you challenge the community, the community and this was your
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: words to imagine a world without y W Charles. Yes,
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: talk about that and talk about what the challenge for
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: this year is.
• 18:03
  Speaker 8: Well, last year I wanted people to think about the
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: vastness of what we do, because, like I said earlier,
• 18:11
  Speaker 8: people often think about one thing that we do or
• 18:15
  Speaker 8: two things. They don't know the vastness and when you
• 18:18
  Speaker 8: imagine what Charleston would be without the Child Development Center,
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: without the shelters, without the rapid rehousing, without all the
• 18:26
  Speaker 8: things that we do, it would leave a gaping hole.
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: But this year I wanted to tell people I want
• 18:34
  Speaker 8: you to walk through the door with me. I want
• 18:37
  Speaker 8: you to experience the entire process of walking into one
• 18:42
  Speaker 8: of our shelters.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Okay, it's good stuff, good stuff. I've been doing little
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: research too for your visit now, and I heard the
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: term story behind the story. Yes, what's meant by that?
• 18:53
  Speaker 8: Because when we have funders and donors, they are all
• 19:00
  Speaker 8: the time want to fund the program. But the story
• 19:04
  Speaker 8: behind the story is while we are welcoming people as
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: they walk in and we provide care and resources and
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: all of that, the story behind the story are the
• 19:18
  Speaker 8: people providing the services, and we forget about them. And
• 19:22
  Speaker 8: so people want to fund the chair, but they don't
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: fund the person sitting in the chair actually providing the services.
• 19:32
  Speaker 8: And so in order for us to do what we
• 19:36
  Speaker 8: do in this community, we need people to think about
• 19:40
  Speaker 8: the story behind the story. So we can't service that
• 19:44
  Speaker 8: woman fleeing domestic violence without having someone sit in the
• 19:48
  Speaker 8: chair to provide those services.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Start again with Sonya or Sonya Harrison for the YWCA, Charleston.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: I want to talk a little bit about your staff.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Give them a little love you.
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: I have the most incredible staff. They go above and beyond,
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: and I have staff members who have experienced our services before.
• 20:15
  Speaker 8: So we have the full spectrum. So we have a
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: three sixty. We have the person who was in shelter
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: as a child and now is running shelter. We have
• 20:25
  Speaker 8: the person who suffered domestic violence who's now a domestic
• 20:31
  Speaker 8: violence advocate. We have people who have firsthand experienced what
• 20:36
  Speaker 8: we do and believed in it so much and have
• 20:39
  Speaker 8: thrived in their lifetime, and so they come back to us.
• 20:43
  Speaker 8: The challenge I'm faced with is how we pay. And
• 20:49
  Speaker 8: it's not just the YWCA problem, but it's it's a
• 20:54
  Speaker 8: culture that service providers are grossly underpaid. When you look
• 21:00
  Speaker 8: at the statistics, a living wage in the state of
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: West Virginia is nineteen dollars and nine cents. The rate
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: that we're paying starts ten, twelve, thirteen dollars, and so
• 21:16
  Speaker 8: when we ask that person to come in and provide
• 21:20
  Speaker 8: trauma informed care. They're also sitting on the other side
• 21:24
  Speaker 8: wondering how am I going to pay my bills? And
• 21:28
  Speaker 8: so that's what keeps me up at night. How do
• 21:31
  Speaker 8: I provide a living wage for my staff? And how
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: do I articulate to the community that the services that
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: we are providing are vitally important, But don't forget the
• 21:46
  Speaker 8: person that's actually provided.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: And sometimes I think we may we may lose sight
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: of that.
• 21:52
  Speaker 8: We absolutely do. We think about oh sojournals as doing
• 21:56
  Speaker 8: providing shelter, and that's great. We provide wonderful shelter and
• 22:02
  Speaker 8: what have you. But that's because we have wonderful people
• 22:06
  Speaker 8: providing those services.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: And what do you need, Sonia from the public to
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: keep the WHYUCA of Charleston going strong? And what does
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: the future look like? What do you most need from
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: the public at this point, I.
• 22:19
  Speaker 8: Think it's multiple things from the public. We always need volunteers,
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: and I always encourage people who want to know more
• 22:32
  Speaker 8: come and take a tour of our programs because then
• 22:35
  Speaker 8: you're able to see firsthand what we do. So we
• 22:39
  Speaker 8: need volunteers, we need donors, we need advocates in the
• 22:44
  Speaker 8: community just telling our story and We of course need
• 22:48
  Speaker 8: people to convince the legislature to support the child development
• 22:55
  Speaker 8: center and childcare in this community and all the economic
• 22:58
  Speaker 8: development things that we're trying to assist with.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: And there's so many ways that you can help out
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: with organizations like yours that don't always in the monetary
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: thing is very important, but sometimes people can give time.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: And I like what you said too about about some
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: of the people that are providing these services have gone
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: through the services themselves, because so many times when you
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: have an issue, you're sitting there thinking, well, you know this,
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: this person doesn't know what I'm going. Yeah, they kind
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: of do because they've been where those people are. So
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: those people are very important as well. Absolutely, where can
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: people learn more about any of the services that the
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: YWCA Charleston has.
• 23:37
  Speaker 8: If they can go to our website y w Charleston
• 23:40
  Speaker 8: dot org and everything is right there on our website.
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: It describes each program in depth.
• 23:47

• 28:16
  Speaker 3: us this morning in the Jered Construction Studios. Good morning,
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: welcome to the show.
• 28:20
  Speaker 13: Good morning, Thank you for having me. I'm excited this.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: I've interviewed various pageant winners in the past. This maybe
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: the only time anybody has ever worn their crown in here,
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: although if we would, letting Brian Hughes would wear a crown.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying, I'm just saying, well, tell us. Of course,
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: a lot of people are going to know you from
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: your work on WWKTV thirteen, but this is something that
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: you do separate from all that. So what was it
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: that made you want to do the whole pageant thing
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: to begin with?
• 28:48
  Speaker 14: Well, a few years ago I was the Queen of
• 28:50
  Speaker 14: the West Virginia Italian Heritage Festival and the girl who
• 28:53
  Speaker 14: was crowned before me competed in the Miss West Virginia organization,
• 28:57
  Speaker 14: so I thought if she could do what I could,
• 28:59
  Speaker 14: and I I love that we needed to have a
• 29:01
  Speaker 14: community service initiative, a platform that we worked on. And
• 29:04
  Speaker 14: then a lot of people don't know, but the Miss
• 29:06
  Speaker 14: America Opportunity, which is like the big organization that I
• 29:10
  Speaker 14: compete of, is one of the largest scholarship providers for
• 29:13
  Speaker 14: women across the United States. So I graduated last year
• 29:16
  Speaker 14: with my bachelors in journalism, but I want to get
• 29:19
  Speaker 14: my master's in marketing at WVU and the Miss West
• 29:21
  Speaker 14: Virginia and Miss America organization can.
• 29:24
  Speaker 13: Help with that.
• 29:25
  Speaker 14: And I love with my job being out and about
• 29:27
  Speaker 14: in the community. So I always kind of say that,
• 29:29
  Speaker 14: you know, being Miss Capital City and competing for Miss
• 29:31
  Speaker 14: West Virginia is a second full time job, and I
• 29:34
  Speaker 14: just love serving the community. I love being out and
• 29:36
  Speaker 14: about with my job with this, And yeah, I started
• 29:40
  Speaker 14: pageantry last year, but it's something that I've really really enjoyed.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: So you didn't do it at a younger age because
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: most people, I'm not saying you're over the hill or
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: anything like that. I'm just saying that most a lot
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: of the people that are in the pageant scene, they
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: start when they're very, very young, but you wanted it
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: till later.
• 29:52
  Speaker 8: I did.
• 29:52
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I grew up doing dance and theater, which so
• 29:55
  Speaker 14: I've always been performing and then again being out and about.
• 29:59
  Speaker 14: But something else that really drove me to this was
• 30:01
  Speaker 14: our community service initiative. When I was one week old,
• 30:04
  Speaker 14: I had open heart surgery because I was born with
• 30:07
  Speaker 14: the heart defect called transposition of the great vessels, and
• 30:11
  Speaker 14: so during my surgery, they the two arteries leaving the
• 30:14
  Speaker 14: heart were flipped, and so I had have surgery to
• 30:16
  Speaker 14: flip them back into place. So I have a pretty
• 30:18
  Speaker 14: large scar down my chest. And growing up doing dance
• 30:21
  Speaker 14: and theater, I always got nervous about our costumes that
• 30:24
  Speaker 14: we would need for our recitals and performances because I
• 30:26
  Speaker 14: never wanted them to show my scar because as a
• 30:29
  Speaker 14: ten year old little girl, how do you explain what
• 30:31
  Speaker 14: happened to you? So always felt kind of alone in that.
• 30:34
  Speaker 14: And so my community service initiative is called Scarred but Stronger,
• 30:37
  Speaker 14: and through social media and going into classrooms and being
• 30:42
  Speaker 14: out in the community, I educate people on leading heart
• 30:45
  Speaker 14: healthy lives and preventing heart disease. But I also talked
• 30:47
  Speaker 14: to other heart survivors to know that we're not alone
• 30:49
  Speaker 14: because I was born with a congenital heart defect, and
• 30:52
  Speaker 14: one in one hundred babies or born with a heart
• 30:55
  Speaker 14: with a congenital heart defect, and it's the most common
• 30:57
  Speaker 14: birth defect. Yet I still felt so alone. So I
• 31:00
  Speaker 14: know that if I fought alone, other people did too.
• 31:02
  Speaker 14: So I also been using my community service initiative to
• 31:05
  Speaker 14: connect with other heart survivors.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: And when you connect with these other heart survivors, and
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: you know, we're talking with the Landey Wells, what do
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: you tell them first?
• 31:11
  Speaker 13: I just listened to their story. I was at the
• 31:13
  Speaker 13: Morgantown Heart.
• 31:14
  Speaker 14: Walk last weekend and they have a survivor's central tent
• 31:18
  Speaker 14: and the man who was running the tent had open
• 31:21
  Speaker 14: heart surgery four years ago, and I told him I
• 31:24
  Speaker 14: had it twenty four years ago. So I understand, and
• 31:28
  Speaker 14: we just connect. It's like it's kind of you just
• 31:31
  Speaker 14: look at each other.
• 31:32
  Speaker 13: No one really knows open heart surgery until you've been
• 31:35
  Speaker 13: through it.
• 31:36
  Speaker 14: Of course, you know, I was a baby, so I
• 31:37
  Speaker 14: don't remember, but I still know that feeling of being
• 31:39
  Speaker 14: alone and being scared. Through my cardiology appointments that I
• 31:43
  Speaker 14: go to every year. So when I connect with other
• 31:45
  Speaker 14: heart survivors, I just tell them one, you're allowed to
• 31:48
  Speaker 14: feel that fear, of course.
• 31:50
  Speaker 13: But then also just connecting and be like, how strong
• 31:52
  Speaker 13: are we?
• 31:52
  Speaker 14: How incredible is this that we survived this, and that
• 31:55
  Speaker 14: we're still here today. And so I really like to
• 31:57
  Speaker 14: get giddy with other people who have survived something, you know, crazy.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of similarities, I would think, Delaney, with
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: people that have gone through a lot of other traumatic things.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: Even though you said you were baby and you don't
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: remember this, but you still have had to have this
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: in the in the background of your life, and as
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: you said, you still have to go for I disappointments
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: and things of that nature. But I mean, you could
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: take that particular thing that happened to you and you
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: could transpose it on any other number of things about
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: being a survivor, and that's what it's about about being
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: a survivor.
• 32:29
  Speaker 14: Definitely, every time I get nervous, you know, whether it's
• 32:32
  Speaker 14: prepping for Miss West Virginia, I'm there this time next week,
• 32:35
  Speaker 14: or it's going live on air, I think, you know,
• 32:36
  Speaker 14: if my one week old self can survive open heart surgery,
• 32:40
  Speaker 14: you know I can.
• 32:40
  Speaker 13: Go live on air or I can compete at Miss
• 32:42
  Speaker 13: West Virginia.
• 32:43
  Speaker 14: I as nervous as I get, I always try to
• 32:45
  Speaker 14: remember that and that my mom, when I was a
• 32:48
  Speaker 14: baby shuit heard that redheads have a higher pain tolerance,
• 32:51
  Speaker 14: and I think that that's pretty true. I feel like
• 32:53
  Speaker 14: I don't feel a lot of pain or you know,
• 32:56
  Speaker 14: scarred but stronger.
• 32:57
  Speaker 13: That's what I am. I feel like I'm a very
• 32:59
  Speaker 13: tough person.
• 33:00
  Speaker 14: And having experienced open heart surgery at one week old
• 33:03
  Speaker 14: and through my cardiology appointments, ever since I turned eighteen,
• 33:06
  Speaker 14: I've been having to get an MRI, and the first
• 33:08
  Speaker 14: one that I ever had, they told my mom that
• 33:10
  Speaker 14: it would be forty five minutes to an hour. I
• 33:12
  Speaker 14: was in there for three hours and fifteen minutes and
• 33:15
  Speaker 14: I couldn't go to sleep. I had breathing exercises, and
• 33:18
  Speaker 14: to be honest, I squeezed that little ball to mean that,
• 33:21
  Speaker 14: like I want to stop for a second, you know,
• 33:23
  Speaker 14: take a breather, and then come back in. And so
• 33:25
  Speaker 14: my mom calls that my superpower, being able to be
• 33:27
  Speaker 14: in an MRI for three hours.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: I've had MRIs and I'm not particularly claustrophobic or anything
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: like that, but I will say that three hours in an.
• 33:36
  Speaker 13: MRI it's not fun.
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: No, I mean, I mean, what do you think about
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: the whole time you just can't go to sleep? I mean,
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: what you think about everything that's ever happened in your
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: life at that point, because you've got all kinds of
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: time on your hands.
• 33:45
  Speaker 14: Oh, you definitely have a lot of time. That's all
• 33:47
  Speaker 14: I think about.
• 33:48
  Speaker 13: I still go to the pediatric cardiology up.
• 33:52
  Speaker 14: At WV Medicine, So they have little stickers on the top,
• 33:55
  Speaker 14: and I know that they're to calm kids down, but they.
• 33:57
  Speaker 13: Calmed my adults helf down too. And music, you're that.

• 34:33
  Speaker 3: being Miss West Virginia. What all the type things they
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: have you do? Because I know from for knowing people
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: that have competed in things like this, it's not just
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: about the pageant, it's a whole week's worth of things
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: that lead up to it. You're doing things in the community.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: What all have they have you guys doing?
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: So what I've been.
• 34:47
  Speaker 14: Doing is Miss Capital City is going into classrooms, using
• 34:50
  Speaker 14: my social media, speaking at events out in the community
• 34:54
  Speaker 14: about heart disease. It's the number one killer of people everywhere.
• 34:57
  Speaker 14: We always say, you know, heart disease is the number
• 34:59
  Speaker 14: one killer of women, but it's the number one killer
• 35:01
  Speaker 14: of people period globally, and so just raising awareness. What
• 35:04
  Speaker 14: I do specifically is raising awareness about how to prevent
• 35:07
  Speaker 14: heart disease, you know, eating healthy, getting enough sleep, quitting tobacco.
• 35:11
  Speaker 14: But then to go into Miss West Virginia Week, we
• 35:13
  Speaker 14: move in on Monday and we have rehearsals for the
• 35:16
  Speaker 14: performance and then actually this time next week, we have
• 35:20
  Speaker 14: a private interview with the judges for ten minutes.
• 35:22
  Speaker 13: Where we just share our story.
• 35:23
  Speaker 14: So I'll share about being a heart survivor the work
• 35:26
  Speaker 14: that I've done in my community. And then we have
• 35:28
  Speaker 14: our preliminary competitions on Thursday and Friday with you know, evening,
• 35:34
  Speaker 14: gown Fitness, all those classic and fun pageants. And then yeah,
• 35:38
  Speaker 14: on Saturday is Finals West Virginia Day. But yeah, the
• 35:41
  Speaker 14: work that goes into Miss West Virginia is sharing our
• 35:44
  Speaker 14: community service initiative across the entire state. When I was
• 35:47
  Speaker 14: one week, when I was having my surgery in the hospital,
• 35:50
  Speaker 14: my mom's friend gifted me a lion stuffed animal and
• 35:53
  Speaker 14: it was as simple to give me courage.
• 35:55
  Speaker 13: To go through my appointments.
• 35:56
  Speaker 14: And so what I've done is I've gifted lion stuffed
• 35:59
  Speaker 14: animals to cardiac cardiology patients across West Virginia. So I've
• 36:03
  Speaker 14: gone to every single Shrondon's Hospital in West Virginia and
• 36:05
  Speaker 14: dropped off my lines to their cardioc their pediatric cardiology unit,
• 36:09
  Speaker 14: and I've had nurses messaged me back with pictures of
• 36:13
  Speaker 14: you know, the lions being given to patients. So that's
• 36:16
  Speaker 14: really awesome to know that children across this state are
• 36:19
  Speaker 14: getting that symbol of strength.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: Like I did I need to interrupt you just one
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: moment because we just got a text your weather related
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: So being a newsperson, you can understand very break can

• 36:30
  Speaker 3: like that. Hearing Reports says, the texture of a mud

• 37:08
  Speaker 3: And how many people compete? How many women?
• 37:10
  Speaker 14: So there's twenty four in the Miss division and then
• 37:13
  Speaker 14: oh gosh, I'm not sure exactly, maybe eighteen to twenty
• 37:16
  Speaker 14: in the teen division for Miss West Virginia and then
• 37:18
  Speaker 14: they'll crown Miss West Virginia's.

  Speaker 3: into that?

• 43:48
  Speaker 5: go into eastern Kanaal County, that's where we do have
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: some of the heaviest rain. And right now you're gonna
• 43:53
  Speaker 5: see it. You're gonna actually deal with that in Canall
• 43:56
  Speaker 5: City Maulden area right now, that's where some of the
• 43:58
  Speaker 5: heaviest rain is back over to cold. And then when
• 44:01
  Speaker 5: you get northeast bank back out there to to sections
• 44:05
  Speaker 5: of the spots where you get in like at a
• 44:08
  Speaker 5: nausea things that nature. Uh, that's where you get around which,
• 44:10
  Speaker 5: by the way, some people are amazed that I can
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: say that name because most people.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: Around there don't say it. But you can't say it
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: again at a naisa.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: But I lost that be.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: How much were we betting there? But one thing that uh,
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: that is for sure.
• 44:26
  Speaker 5: This heavy rainfall is setting us up for more problems
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: probably on Friday. And when I say more problems, we'll
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: just wear water logged. Think about this. We went from
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: a full tilt drought to being water logged. So and
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: that and that means that means taking the water table
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: and significantly moistening that up.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: I know a lot of people don't like that word.
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: And and it's like a sauna out there or as
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: as my my relatives in uh in Logan County, Wyoming,
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: camisay it. My grandmother used to say it's a sany
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: out there. And I was like twelve years before I
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: realized that she was saying, son, yeah, yeah, yes, that
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: is correct, but yes, sorry, might entertained you were storious
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: of my childhood.
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: It just it just took a moment for me to
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: go that's okay. Yeah, that that actually is funny.
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: So sometimes it takes a little while.
• 45:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it took a bit offord to register truly, but
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: now I so. So we have all this rain today
• 45:26
  Speaker 5: this morning, and then as begin this afternoon, we you
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: know that drying trend that's in Huntington, you know, mind
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: you there are a couple of showers of south and
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: also east of Huntington right now that have been that
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: have developed on the back side of the system. That's
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: that's okay, that's that's normal what we see with something
• 45:41
  Speaker 5: like this. But we're gonna be able to dry out
• 45:44
  Speaker 5: as we go into this afternoon, and then as we
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: work our way into deep into the after and late
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: afternoon evening, there's a chance that we peek out with
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: heat and there might be a strength and a shower
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: late afternoon going into evening hours of those die off.
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: I think tomorrow we shape up with a couple maybe
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: a couple of showers in the morning because there is
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: a time period. It's it's very weird where you can
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: have at sunrise a couple of showers that do develop.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: There's just a little bit of insibility there.
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: Normally that's the most stable part of the day, from
• 46:15
  Speaker 5: roughly seven am to about nine am in the morning,
• 46:18
  Speaker 5: most stable part of the day.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: But there's just enough.
• 46:20
  Speaker 5: What happens is you get that sun, even though we
• 46:23
  Speaker 5: might not see the sun in the morning, that sun
• 46:25
  Speaker 5: starts to mix the atmosphere just to touch and you
• 46:27
  Speaker 5: can get things just rise. That starting to lift and
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: at buoyancy is there in the atmosphere. It allows all
• 46:34
  Speaker 5: of a sudden old showers thundershower to developed briefly in
• 46:36
  Speaker 5: the morning in the tropical, tropical like atmosphere. Now as
• 46:40
  Speaker 5: we go into Friday, though, all that's are off, we've
• 46:43
  Speaker 5: got a cold front.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: That cold front.
• 46:45
  Speaker 5: The timing is interesting now because as I was going
• 46:48
  Speaker 5: to get more forecast models went upstairs to start to
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: look at and research a few things. The timing has
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: actually moved up and it gets us more to the
• 46:55
  Speaker 5: middle of the day. But we're still, you know, we're
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: still a couple of days away from that. Yeah a
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: lot could change.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: You, Yeah, a lot change.
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: But if it moves up on the timing, hey, you know,
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: it helps out the live of the Levey situation. But
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: at the same time, to it doesn't because setup is
• 47:09
  Speaker 5: also important. Yeah, at least be it if you can
• 47:12
  Speaker 5: get it set up.
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: And then we always say it in a promotions business,
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: the concert's the easy part, right exactly, that's the easy stuff.
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: It's everything leading up to it and so and sometimes
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: it happens usually several hours before and cry checks and
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: things of that nature.
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: So you know, I saw one fellow one time he goes,
• 47:29
  Speaker 5: I can't, I can't do concerts like this. It's it's
• 47:32
  Speaker 5: all wet, and I'm like, yay, you can't. I you
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: just gotta drive some things off and plug it in.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: Come on, buddy, let's go.
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: Well we'll see because I know it's a major I mean,
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: all the acts are graded live on the levee, but
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: this is a big one. Spend doctors, I mean, you know,
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: just just a fantastic band, uh and big time band
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: and they're coming to Charleston, so hopefully fingers crossed.
• 47:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I like to think that they're at
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: least prepping for a Civic Center event because auditory anymore,
• 48:01
  Speaker 5: which that needs to come down.
• 48:03

• 48:06
  Speaker 3: So well, uh, well we'll be we'll be talking to
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: you a lot between now and then. But the bottom
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: line is things are gonna calm down.
