4:05
Speaker 7: Is that?
4:05
Speaker 1: Yal?
4:06
Speaker 8: Yep, we're happy to sponsor. We love that it's in
4:08
Speaker 8: South Charleston. That's where my office is. And of course
4:11
Speaker 8: one of the directors, Steve Krozier, was my high school coach.
4:14
Speaker 8: So we kind of got everybody together and want to
4:16
Speaker 8: just try to roll out the carpet for the players.
4:18
Speaker 8: And of course Mayor Mallins always puts the players first,
4:22
Speaker 8: and just without the city of South Charleston, this wouldn't
4:24
Speaker 8: be possible.
4:25
Speaker 2: South Charleston's kind of becoming to place, isn't it as
4:27
Speaker 2: far as for these things, right, And we got a
4:28
Speaker 2: lot of stuff going on in South Charleston. We'll talk
4:30
Speaker 2: about them a little bit later on, including oh, that
4:33
Speaker 2: little market that opened up over there, the small little market.
4:36
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that a little bit later on. But Sean,
4:38
Speaker 2: I know for you guys to have these events here
4:40
Speaker 2: in Charleston's I said the events last week and this
4:42
Speaker 2: one as well. It's a big deal for the city
4:44
Speaker 2: of South Charleston.
4:45
Speaker 6: Yeah, it really is. And then our biggest thing with
4:48
Speaker 6: these events is we want to make sure everyone has
4:50
Speaker 6: a great time and has a great experience in South Charleston.
4:53
Speaker 2: All right, Mark, you and I were talking a little
4:55
Speaker 2: bit in the green room about your days as an athlete.
4:58
Speaker 2: You played in this game.
5:00
Speaker 8: I did, and you know, and everybody remembers I was
5:02
Speaker 8: a football player, you know, five different lifetimes ago. Yeah,
5:06
Speaker 8: you know, I was the surgeries probably luckily no no surgeries.
5:10
Speaker 8: You know I had, I had, you know, so from
5:12
Speaker 8: ninety five to two thousand, I played w as a
5:15
Speaker 8: football player. Everybody kind of remembers me from that or
5:18
Speaker 8: the prosecutor, like you know, when someone comes up to me,
5:20
Speaker 8: I don't know if it's you know, how you're the
5:21
Speaker 8: football player or you're the prosecutor or the criminal defense attorney.
5:24
Speaker 1: Now.
5:26
Speaker 8: But what a lot of people don't remember is and
5:28
Speaker 8: I was also a baseball player. So not only that
5:30
Speaker 8: I played in the North South game. And I was
5:32
Speaker 8: first team All State as a junior and senior in
5:34
Speaker 8: baseball and football, So four time first team off state.
5:37
Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out how you went through this
5:39
Speaker 2: storied career. I never had any surgeries.
5:41
Speaker 8: Just fortunate, I guess I've never never, never had a surgery,
5:46
Speaker 8: and very fortunate, particularly you know, w yeah, I mean,
5:50
Speaker 8: you know, we had a guy named Amos Airway. I
5:52
Speaker 8: don't know if you all remember who that was lifetimes ago.
5:55
Speaker 8: Both familiar, you know, pretty much. You know, I carried
5:57
Speaker 8: the ball one or two times, and then Amy carried
6:00
Speaker 8: the ball the first time, ran a sixty yard touchdown,
6:02
Speaker 8: and I pretty much never got.
6:04
Speaker 2: The ball again. It was just a which I can
6:06
Speaker 2: kind understand talk about playing in these games, So what
6:09
Speaker 2: it means for high school athletes to play in these games,
6:10
Speaker 2: particularly those that are at the end of their of
6:14
Speaker 2: their careers, so to speak.
6:15
Speaker 8: It's a great experience to meet and compete against statewide talent.
6:20
Speaker 8: And you know, we got sixty five seniors coming in
6:23
Speaker 8: that are all all stars from all levels, all in
6:27
Speaker 8: one place, and it's it's kind of one of those
6:29
Speaker 8: situations where not only do you make some friends, but
6:33
Speaker 8: you also get to size yourself up with other competition.
6:37
Speaker 8: And it's a fun time. The kids are gonna have
6:40
Speaker 8: a great time. We're gonna feed them, you know, we're
6:42
Speaker 8: gonna come in Thursday. They're coming in tonight. They're gonna
6:45
Speaker 8: have a practice from six to eight. South Charleston's gonna
6:48
Speaker 8: feed them tomorrow. Like I said, the games, there's a
6:52
Speaker 8: lunch in at noon and then the game's gonna schedule
6:56
Speaker 8: to start at three and six, but because of the rain,
6:59
Speaker 8: we might try to start little bit earlier. We want
7:00
Speaker 8: to get down you know, it's a doubleheader. We want
7:02
Speaker 8: all that.
7:03
Speaker 2: They're all already going to be here, so we don't
7:05
Speaker 2: worry about it.
7:05
Speaker 8: Yeah, we don't want to We don't want to move it.
7:07
Speaker 8: We want to try to get the game in. So
7:08
Speaker 8: if we have to move it up to avoid the rain,
7:11
Speaker 8: we will. And it's a doubleheader, so we're trying to
7:13
Speaker 8: get all the players. You know, this is always about
7:16
Speaker 8: the players, So we want to get them as much
7:18
Speaker 8: playing time, as many as bats as possible. So we
7:21
Speaker 8: want each of them to have time to get some games.
7:23
Speaker 2: You know, last week in the midday show, guys, we
7:25
Speaker 2: had a chance to talk to a couple of football
7:27
Speaker 2: players that came in town, and there was one from
7:29
Speaker 2: the North and one from the South. We had them
7:30
Speaker 2: on the show at the same time and it was interesting,
7:33
Speaker 2: you know, just talking to those and both of those
7:35
Speaker 2: of most of those gentlemen are going on to play college ball,
7:38
Speaker 2: which was good. I think one was playing it. I
7:40
Speaker 2: know one was playing at Concord, and I think maybe
7:43
Speaker 2: the other one was playing at Wesleyan. But but I
7:44
Speaker 2: think it's it's just a great experience for them to
7:47
Speaker 2: be able to play. I tell you what I remember.
7:49
Speaker 8: I'll tell you what I honestly, you know, I'm I'm
7:51
Speaker 8: forty nine, so I don't remember the game.
7:54
Speaker 2: I really don't.
7:55
Speaker 8: But what I do remember is the warm ups. You know,
7:58
Speaker 8: you run in baseball, you run sixty yardes. Well, I
8:01
Speaker 8: don't know if you all remember getting Bobby Howard. You know,
8:03
Speaker 8: I grew up playing against Rady Moss, Bobby Howard, those guys.
8:06
Speaker 8: So in this North South baseball game, he would plea
8:09
Speaker 8: played in the North South and we got the race
8:11
Speaker 8: against each other in the sixty yard dash at the
8:13
Speaker 8: same time. So that's the kind of you know, you're
8:15
Speaker 8: playing against other players that you've heard of, and you
8:18
Speaker 8: get to walk on the same field and just compete
8:21
Speaker 8: those to those with them. It's something that you just
8:23
Speaker 8: remember even when you're old, fat and balled in forty
8:25
Speaker 8: nine and you're.
8:26
Speaker 2: Still talking about well, and I think too. You got
8:28
Speaker 2: to remember, you know, I mentioned the reference the two
8:31
Speaker 2: young athletes that we interviewed last week. I mean, both
8:33
Speaker 2: those guys are going to be fortunate enough in football
8:35
Speaker 2: to go play somewhere else. But for some of these
8:37
Speaker 2: athletes just might be, you know, the last time that
8:39
Speaker 2: they play other than maybe a pickup. Maybe baseball is
8:41
Speaker 2: a little different, you know, but but there's a possibility
8:44
Speaker 2: that just maybe the last time some of them play,
8:46
Speaker 2: at least in an organized event like that and that
8:49
Speaker 2: and that means something. I'm sure you remember your last
8:51
Speaker 2: game wherever it was, and uh, it's it's a lifetime
8:54
Speaker 2: memory for that's true.
8:55
Speaker 8: And again, my last baseball game was the North South
8:57
Speaker 8: Baseball game all those years ago, and it really is
9:01
Speaker 8: at some point and when you're particularly you know, in
9:04
Speaker 8: this all star category where you're getting selected for scholarship,
9:07
Speaker 8: you're getting selected for the North South game. I don't
9:10
Speaker 8: care what anybody says. In your heart, if you're a player,
9:12
Speaker 8: you want to play at the next level, right you're
9:14
Speaker 8: always thinking about and you're hoping against hope you get
9:17
Speaker 8: that opportunity. But sooner or later, we all have to
9:20
Speaker 8: put our cleats on the wall. And whether it's you know,
9:22
Speaker 8: whether it's out of high school, college or professional and
9:25
Speaker 8: that's a that's a transition. Some people make it, you know,
9:29
Speaker 8: making a positive thing. Some people don't. But it is
9:31
Speaker 8: a special moment.
9:32
Speaker 2: Talking again with Mark Plants and Shawn Zun again, we'll
9:34
Speaker 2: get back to the baseball giving him to Shawn. I
9:36
Speaker 2: want to ask you, it's been a big, a big
9:38
Speaker 2: week for the city of South charlest not only the
9:42
Speaker 2: sporting events last week, but but you open up that

Speaker 8: knows we got the great you know, the best services,
10:01
Speaker 8: the best youth sports. I mean, it's in my opinion
10:04
Speaker 8: because that's where I'm from. Yeah, and the older I get,
10:07
Speaker 8: the more I want to get back home and make
10:09

10:54
Speaker 2: ago to interview the marketing guy, uh there, James Manize
10:58
Speaker 2: for Kroger. I viewed him twice as a matter of fact,
11:01
Speaker 2: and he talked about this and this is something that's
11:03
Speaker 2: in the feather in the cap of the entire Kanal Valley,
11:06
Speaker 2: especially the city of South Charleston. Is there's no other
11:09

17:56
Speaker 2: there you go. All right. So, but it's called the
17:59
Speaker 2: Donna el Skien Senior Expo. Your name happened to be Skim.
18:04
Speaker 2: I'm not the smartest guy in the world, but I'm
18:07
Speaker 2: saying there's got to be a connection here.
18:09
Speaker 12: There is definitely a connection. Yes, Donna was my mother.
18:13
Speaker 12: She was a big proponent in the community, big advocate
18:19
Speaker 12: for many different people in the community.
18:21
Speaker 1: So, yes, that was my mother.
18:23
Speaker 2: Kind of lady was your mom? If you don't mind,
18:24
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to make you cheer up here, but
18:26
Speaker 2: what kind of lady was your mom?
18:27
Speaker 9: No?
18:27
Speaker 12: I love talking about my mom, so thank you. She
18:31
Speaker 12: was just an amazing person. I don't know any other
18:35
Speaker 12: word that I can think of that would encompass my mother.
18:38
Speaker 12: She was kind, She was I would go as far
18:43
Speaker 12: as to say, a saint on this earth. She just
18:47
Speaker 12: loved people, and she wanted to make everyone feel seen
18:50
Speaker 12: and loved, and especially the aged and disabled community in
18:55
Speaker 12: West Virginia, because we're West Virginia's often forgot in many things,
18:59
Speaker 12: but even more so in that realm. So she just
19:03
Speaker 12: really wanted to make those people feel loved and seen
19:08
Speaker 12: and important.
19:10
Speaker 2: And that's why this is named after her.
19:12
Speaker 1: Exactly.
19:13
Speaker 2: Yes, right, Ray here, I appreciate you being here. What's
19:16
Speaker 2: your involvement with this?
19:17
Speaker 13: So I'm with Boom Moral Health and we're really excited
19:20
Speaker 13: to be coming back to the expo this year. We're
19:24
Speaker 13: going to be sending several folks from our team doing
19:27
Speaker 13: several different things. We're going to have lab work available
19:30
Speaker 13: on site. We will have our market on Maine. This
19:33
Speaker 13: is our farmer's market in Greenhouse. We're going to have
19:35
Speaker 13: our market folks there with some healthy and local food
19:39
Speaker 13: resources and information, as well as our population health team
19:43
Speaker 13: and so we'll have blood pressure screening, healthy food samples,
19:46
Speaker 13: diabetes education display lots of different things to help out
19:51
Speaker 13: the folks who need it.
19:51
Speaker 2: And this is all going to be at the Benny
19:53
Speaker 2: Keatam Shrine, which is next to the Kylo Sema Convention
19:55
Speaker 2: Center in Charleston. Jim Strawn is here. How you doing man?
19:58
Speaker 3: And the best I've ever been thanking Dave?
20:00
Speaker 2: How are you my friend? I'm don't be talking to
20:01
Speaker 2: you tomorrow.
20:02
Speaker 3: I guess I'll lobby by tomorrow for the Moses Outer
20:04
Speaker 3: Group LIB on the levee. But yeah, I'm excited about you,
20:07
Speaker 3: asked Jenna if she was on last year to talk aboutiness.
20:10
Speaker 3: I think I snuck in and we kind of we
20:12
Speaker 3: kind of hold hold on.
20:13
Speaker 2: You snuck in somewhere where there was a microphone I.
20:17
Speaker 3: Found, I found I started talking about the levee, but
20:20
Speaker 3: we also started talking about the Donna l Skin Senior Expo,
20:24
Speaker 3: you know, and Donna started loved Ones years ago, and
20:28
Speaker 3: now Jenna is the president of loved Ones, a home
20:31
Speaker 3: health agency that treats folks in their home in about
20:36
Speaker 3: thirty three counties in West Virginia. And Jenna's doing an
20:40
Speaker 3: out standing job and wanted to bring this expo to
20:43
Speaker 3: the community and named it after her.
20:45
Speaker 7: Mother.
20:45
Speaker 3: So I've been working with loved Ones and I'm on
20:48
Speaker 3: the expot committee and it's just been a neat thing
20:51
Speaker 3: for me to follow. I'm actually a senior at myself.
20:54
Speaker 3: We've talked about this. I'm on Medicare. And it's not
20:57
Speaker 3: just for the seniors and all the great services that
20:59
Speaker 3: were off bringing all the wonderful information that we're going
21:02
Speaker 3: to have there, but it's for folks maybe in the
21:06
Speaker 3: Sandwich generation, maybe the folks who are in there thirty
21:09
Speaker 3: to forty to fifty taking care of their moms.
21:12
Speaker 2: And they're very good point because sometimes we forget about that.
21:15
Speaker 3: And so there's a lots of information for you sons
21:19
Speaker 3: and daughters who are taking care of your elderly parents.
21:22
Speaker 3: And I think Donna started loved Ones. Correct me if
21:26
Speaker 3: I'm wrong, Jenna, but she started loved Ones so that
21:28
Speaker 3: folks could get the care in their home. They just
21:30
Speaker 3: didn't want to go anywhere else. That wanted to stay
21:33
Speaker 3: in their home, but they still needed some care and
21:35
Speaker 3: some treatment. So loved Ones we started. This expo is
21:38
Speaker 3: all about sharing those resources and finding that information. And
21:41
Speaker 3: then last year I touched base with Ray, a good
21:43
Speaker 3: friend of mine. I go Ray we really could use
21:46
Speaker 3: some blood work and some other elderly expertise and what
21:49
Speaker 3: you guys offer. He's like, yeah, I mean they didn't hesitate,
21:52
Speaker 3: So it's wonderful to have a Boon Health Boonemorial Hospital there.
21:57
Speaker 3: As he mentioned, they're going to be providing quite a
21:59
Speaker 3: bit of the lab work, the blood work. They're going
22:02
Speaker 3: to be doing cooking demonstrations on the stage. There's actually
22:05
Speaker 3: a stage there at the Benning Keatam Temple as you
22:07
Speaker 3: well know, Dave, and from nine o'clock in the morning
22:10
Speaker 3: until four thirty the afternoon until we closed down at
22:13
Speaker 3: five o'clock. There's going to be a stage schedule. There's
22:16
Speaker 3: going to be activity on the stage all day long.
22:19
Speaker 3: From music. Lee Dean will be there to do a
22:22
Speaker 3: little Elvis, to do a little Sinatra. We're going to
22:25
Speaker 3: have lunch and learns. We're going to have seminars about
22:27
Speaker 3: elderly and medicare. J. T. Hunter is going to do
22:30
Speaker 3: something less these see from just Us Retirement Solutions are
22:33
Speaker 3: going to do something. JK the DJ is going to
22:36
Speaker 3: be providing singo. I can't wait. I've never seen singo.
22:39
Speaker 3: It's like bingo, but with music.
22:41
Speaker 2: Music. I leave it to JK to come up.
22:44
Speaker 3: It's just going to be outstanding. The Committee for the
22:46
Speaker 3: Senior Expo has done a great job. We've been meeting
22:49
Speaker 3: for months. Kihy with Wowk been a real advocate for
22:55
Speaker 3: this committee. We've had Samantha from Ray's Boon Health, We've
22:59
Speaker 3: had folks from Hoffas, We've had folks from Puttnam Aging.
23:03
Speaker 3: It takes a village to take care of our elderly,
23:05
Speaker 3: and we have so many great sponsors, so many folks
23:08
Speaker 3: have come together to put this event together. I'm so
23:10
Speaker 3: excited for Saturday. And the best part about this folks,
23:13
Speaker 3: if you're listening, a mission is totally free. There's no
23:16
Speaker 3: there's no charge to come in. Jenna's sponsoring a complimentary
23:20
Speaker 3: lunch during the lunch and learn. Of course, Boone's going
23:23
Speaker 3: to be doing some cooking demonstrations, so that means there's
23:25
Speaker 3: going to be some free samples on some items to eat,
23:29
Speaker 3: and it's just gonna be one of those things where
23:31
Speaker 3: you just got to come down if you're if you're
23:34
Speaker 3: taking care of an elderly or if you're an utterly
23:36
Speaker 3: and you just want to get you know, you want
23:38
Speaker 3: to get out of the house, you want to get
23:39
Speaker 3: out of the apartment. Get down there, Benny keatam easy,
23:43
Speaker 3: easy to get in, and we'll take the care of
23:45
Speaker 3: you when you get there. I'm looking forward to it.
23:47
Speaker 3: I'm going to be there pretty much most of the day, Dave.
23:50
Speaker 2: Well, and I think sometimes another group that you may
23:52
Speaker 2: not have mentioned that maybe want to, especially since it's
23:55
Speaker 2: free and all this information is available. There are those
23:58
Speaker 2: of us that are the gen xers. I'll be fifty
24:01
Speaker 2: six in September. I don't ever plan on ever fully retiring.
24:04
Speaker 2: I'm going to be doing something. However, getting to that
24:07
Speaker 2: age when you know there may be some information available
24:11
Speaker 2: for me to come there too. Well, as I look
24:14
Speaker 2: at that part of my life coming.
24:16
Speaker 3: Home, well, as you think about it, you're not quite
24:19
Speaker 3: there yet, but pretty soon you're going to be how
24:20
Speaker 3: do I navigate this medicare path? And I didn't know
24:24
Speaker 3: how to do it. Now I know how to do it.
24:25
Speaker 3: There's gonna be folks there to help you through that.
24:28
Speaker 3: There's going to be folks there from hospice if you
24:31
Speaker 3: may need may need that. Loved ones obviously will be
24:34
Speaker 3: there and this is what they do. They take care
24:37
Speaker 3: of the elderly or folks who are a disadvantaged or
24:40
Speaker 3: maybe have a disability, but they want to they're able
24:43
Speaker 3: to stay at home, but they don't want to go
24:45
Speaker 3: anywhere and get treatment. They want to be at home.
24:48
Speaker 3: So we're going to help you navigate gate that. And
24:51
Speaker 3: as you're navigating that at the Senior ex Bo, you're
24:53
Speaker 3: going to have a good time. It's going to be
24:55
Speaker 3: there's lots of entertainment there as well. There's lots of
24:58
Speaker 3: things to eat, and there's gonna be lots of people
25:01
Speaker 3: to talk to. It's we in the committee we were
25:04
Speaker 3: saying for the past couple of months, this is not
25:06
Speaker 3: your grandma, your grandpa Senior Expo. This is gonna be
25:08
Speaker 3: kind of fun. We're gonna have a good time.
25:10
Speaker 2: And you got my man lead in there.
25:12
Speaker 3: How much fun will he be? Well, Jenna gets him
25:14
Speaker 3: every year. She loves the Lee.
25:16
Speaker 2: Does Elvis and Frank Sinatra. Uh, and he basically becomes
25:21
Speaker 2: Elvis and Franklin Lee and I go way way back
25:23
Speaker 2: for for coworkers and he does a fantastic.
25:25
Speaker 3: And your mom liked him a lot, right, Yes, that's
25:29
Speaker 3: how this and that's how this came about.
25:31
Speaker 12: Yeah, when we started planning the first one, I was like,
25:35
Speaker 12: we have to get him. Uh.
25:36
Speaker 2: Plus, you know, Elvis draws in the folks, so of
25:40
Speaker 2: all generations really exactly exactly. And for that matter, So
25:44
Speaker 2: and Sinatra Ray, I want to talk about about about
25:48
Speaker 2: Boom Memorials part in this and why is it that
25:51
Speaker 2: you guys do this great question? Appreciate that.
25:54
Speaker 13: You know, it's really important for us to be in
25:58
Speaker 13: the communities that we serve, and you know a lot
26:00
Speaker 13: of folks can't make it to us certainly as often
26:04
Speaker 13: as they might want to or need to, and so
26:06
Speaker 13: having opportunities like this to go out into the community
26:09
Speaker 13: and not only provide information, but be able to provide
26:12
Speaker 13: some level of services. And as Jim was talking about
26:15
Speaker 13: just helping people navigate, you know, healthcare is complicated and
26:19
Speaker 13: there's going to be a lot of people there, not
26:20
Speaker 13: just from our team but Jenna's team and the other
26:22
Speaker 13: great sponsors that are going to be there ask the questions.
26:25
Speaker 13: You know, there is no silly question certainly when it
26:28
Speaker 13: comes to healthcare. We want to help you navigate it
26:31
Speaker 13: and get the services and the care that you need.
26:33
Speaker 13: And so we're grateful with the opportunity and appreciate Jenna
26:36
Speaker 13: and Jim for getting us involved again this year.
26:38
Speaker 2: And Jenn, I'll let you talk about loved Ones a
26:40
Speaker 2: little bit. What exactly do you against do.
26:42
Speaker 12: We do in home care?
26:43
Speaker 2: Jim talked about a little bit, but I want you
26:45
Speaker 2: to expound upon it though.
26:47
Speaker 12: Absolutely. My mom actually started the company in nineteen ninety six,
26:51
Speaker 12: nineteen ninety seven, and it was born out of a
26:53
Speaker 12: promise to her own mother. She never wanted to leave
26:56
Speaker 12: her home. She wanted to be able to stay there
26:58
Speaker 12: up until the life second of it. And when my
27:02
Speaker 12: mom started doing research, she saw that there was a
27:05
Speaker 12: need in the community, not just for my grandmother, but
27:08
Speaker 12: for lots of people's grandmothers and grandfathers and even beyond that.
27:13
Speaker 12: So she started loved Ones. And what we do is
27:16
Speaker 12: we go in the home and we help with anything
27:18
Speaker 12: which is called non skilled care. So that's you know,
27:22
Speaker 12: helping people get in the shower, helping get them meals,
27:26
Speaker 12: helping keep their places neat and tidy. We also help
27:32
Speaker 12: with taking them out into the community to do some
27:34
Speaker 12: community activity. So yeah, we just help them keep functioning
27:39
Speaker 12: without having to go to a nursing home. Because everybody
27:43
Speaker 12: we take care of actually is eligible for nursing home. Care,
27:47
Speaker 12: so we keep them in the home.
27:48
Speaker 2: Where can people learn more about about your service.
27:51
Speaker 12: Well, they can go to our website loved onescares dot
27:54
Speaker 12: com and it tells it gives everything, all the stuff,
27:59
Speaker 12: all the stuff.
28:00
Speaker 2: All right, Jim, I want to give you an opportunity
28:01
Speaker 2: kind of wrap this thing up here because this is
28:04
Speaker 2: and now with the with the baby boomers. Uh And
28:07
Speaker 2: as I said, I'm a gen X guy, you know,
28:09
Speaker 2: heading into that that direction right now, we're seeing you know,

39:06
Speaker 2: store Ashton Place, Kroger is Gucci. Tays Valley is known
39:10
Speaker 2: as Louis Vauton, so I think the perfect name for
39:13
Speaker 2: the new marketplace is Cartier Kroger. Well, here is somebody
39:18
Speaker 2: who is a once or twice three times a week
39:20
Speaker 2: shopper at the Kroger in Tays Valley when it opened
39:23
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago, those of us in the
39:25
Speaker 2: valley started calling it the Prada Kroger. All right, so
39:30
Speaker 2: I got DIBs on that. The Tay's Valley is the
39:33
Speaker 2: Prada Kroger. Now we can call this one the Louis Vauton,
39:37
Speaker 2: we can call it, you know whatever, or I'm sorry,
39:40
Speaker 2: the Cardier or whatever the textra says there. But now
39:44
Speaker 2: we kind of already named that one over there. I'm
39:49
Speaker 2: going to probably get into this a little bit more
39:53
Speaker 2: on midday to day and I'm sure the talk line
39:55
Speaker 2: boys will talk about it. Brad as the story posted
39:57
Speaker 2: at wv metronews dot com, and it's this ruling about
40:01
Speaker 2: junk food. Judge Amy Berman Jackson in the US District
40:06
Speaker 2: Courts for the District of Columbia struck down Federal Agriculture
40:12
Speaker 2: Department waivers that allowed several states to ban SNAP recipients
40:16
Speaker 2: from using food stamps to buy soda, candy, etc.
40:20
Speaker 1: Etc.
40:21
Speaker 2: This was a sixty eight page decision that ruled that
40:26
Speaker 2: the agency quote exceeded its legal authority by approving the
40:30
Speaker 2: state restrictions without congressional approval. Continuing with the quote the
40:36
Speaker 2: federal defendants and the states may have a genuine desire
40:39
Speaker 2: to improve the health of SNAP households by encouraging healthy
40:43
Speaker 2: choices at the store, and they can take lawful steps
40:46
Speaker 2: to meet those goals. But what they can't do is
40:49
Speaker 2: violate the law and their own regulations along the way. Quote. Now,
40:55
Speaker 2: in addition to West Virginia, other states, including Colorado, Iowa,
40:59
Speaker 2: and Tendency try to enact a similar legislation basically saying
41:05
Speaker 2: that those on SNAP benefits could not buy the junk
41:08
Speaker 2: foot Well, it has been struck down. It has been
41:12
Speaker 2: struck down, and the Morrissey administration not happy about that.

45:02
Speaker 2: and of course we got Regatta going on next week,
45:06
Speaker 2: and we got the America two fifty celebration. Well, guess what,
45:10
Speaker 2: there's gonna be a whole lot of people in Charleston
45:12
Speaker 2: this weekend as well. Ahead of that. This is the
45:15
Speaker 2: twenty twenty sixth USA Gymnastics for All gym Fest and
45:20
Speaker 2: it's happening to day through Sunday at the Colos Seem
45:22
Speaker 2: of Convention Center. Now, how big is this that we're
45:24
Speaker 2: talking about. There are at least four hundred participants in
45:29
Speaker 2: this all right, that's four hundred gymnasts that are going
45:32
Speaker 2: to be there. So for every every every gymnast that's
45:36
Speaker 2: coming in, you know, I'm going to an ext part
45:39
Speaker 2: in this, but I'm going to say at least two
45:41
Speaker 2: three people come with them by the time, mom, dad, grandparents, siblings,
45:46
Speaker 2: the dog, you know, everybody comes with them. So four
45:49
Speaker 2: hundred times all those people is a lot of people.
45:54
Speaker 2: Care of the three it's a lot of people. So
45:56
Speaker 2: there's gonna be a lot of people in Charleston. And
45:58
Speaker 2: this is you know, the US Pro Road Championships for
46:01
Speaker 2: God Up, the Governor's Festivities. I mean, there's just so much,
46:07
Speaker 2: so much going on in Charleston. And again you talk
46:10
Speaker 2: about four hundred of these gymnasts coming here with an
46:13
Speaker 2: average of two to three people per person with them.
46:17
Speaker 2: That's a whole lot of people in Charleston. That's a
46:19
Speaker 2: whole lot of people going to staying in the hotels,
46:21
Speaker 2: that's a whole lot of people eating at the restaurants,
46:23
Speaker 2: not only in Charleston, South Charleston, Tays Valley, you know,
46:27
Speaker 2: on on down the line.
46:29
Speaker 18: Uh.
46:30
Speaker 2: But yet people say there's nothing to do in Charleston.
46:33
Speaker 2: They say, there's there's this city is dead. Okay, sorry,
46:38
Speaker 2: I can't. I can't go along with that. I'm sorry.
46:40
Speaker 2: And I say that for South Charleston, I say that
46:43
Speaker 2: for Saint Albans, I say it for Dunbar. I'd say
46:46
Speaker 2: it for Winfield, Hurricane. I'm gonna leave one out and
46:50
Speaker 2: I mentioned Saint Albans. All these towns and in Clendennon
46:53
Speaker 2: this weekend, you know they are commemorating the anniversary, the
46:58
Speaker 2: ten year anniversary, which was earlier this week flood. They
47:00
Speaker 2: got activities going on Friday and Saturday. And the only
47:03
Speaker 2: reason I keep bringing these things up is because nothing
47:05
Speaker 2: gets in my crawl anymore. For people to say, God,
47:08
Speaker 2: Virginia's dead, there's nothing going on, Well, I would beg
47:13
Speaker 2: to differ. There's a heck of a lot going on,
47:16
Speaker 2: and there always is every weekend, the regattas and the
47:19
Speaker 2: big thing, that's what gets all the attention. But man,
47:22
Speaker 2: every weekend in the Kenaw Valley there is something going on.
47:25
Speaker 2: There's people coming and staying in hotels, the restaurants are full,
47:29
Speaker 2: and so I just, I just, I guess I get
47:31
Speaker 2: a little bit tired of the pessimism all the time
47:34
Speaker 2: about people saying that this area is dead. Do we
47:36
Speaker 2: have a population issue, Yes, we have a population issue,
47:39
Speaker 2: But at least we have people that are coming. If
47:42
Speaker 2: you heard the interview with the mayor of Clintennon that
47:44
Speaker 2: I did yesterday in Clindennon, they got folks that just
47:48
Speaker 2: moved here from California and Maine that are living here,
47:51
Speaker 2: no ties to the area whatsoever. Granny and Grandpa weren't
47:54
Speaker 2: from here. They came here because of the outdoor recreation
47:57
Speaker 2: and because they can work remote and we need a
48:00
Speaker 2: whole lot more of that, and I for one am
48:02
Speaker 2: happy to see it Texas. Barack Obama appointed Amy Berman
48:05
Speaker 2: Jackson as US State District Judge for the District of
48:08
Speaker 2: Columbia March twenty eleven. She is an activist. Justice Left
48:12
Speaker 2: can't win of policy issues like this, so they go
48:14
Speaker 2: through friendly, strategically placed judges in the courts. Say it's
48:18
Speaker 2: a Texter. One of the texts I wanted to I
48:21
Speaker 2: wanted to I didn't get a chance to read this yesterday.
48:23
Speaker 2: I wanted to go back to it. And I always
48:24
Speaker 2: appreciate all the texts I was talking about. Yesterday, I
48:28
Speaker 2: had Aaron wood On from the Kanas City Community Association.
48:32
Speaker 2: They have a meeting coming up tonight at City National
48:34
Speaker 2: Bank sort so I think at six o'clock over there
48:36
Speaker 2: about an hour long meeting. Officials from Mayor Goodwin's administration
48:39
Speaker 2: are going to be their first responders whatever. And basically
48:42
Speaker 2: it is an opportunity for people to go out and
48:45
Speaker 2: ask questions. If you don't want to do a full
48:47
Speaker 2: on city hall thing, can be a little bit intimidating
48:50
Speaker 2: whatever in front of a council meeting. If you're a
48:52
Speaker 2: resident of Kanas City, if you visit Kanas City, if
48:55
Speaker 2: you have an interest in Kanas City, if you're a
48:57
Speaker 2: business owner, you can go to City National Bank and
48:59
Speaker 2: as the tonight starting at six o'clock, plenty of free
49:02
Speaker 2: parking and you can talk one on one with City
49:05
Speaker 2: of Charleston officials, Mayor's office, council, police, fire whatever. They're
49:10
Speaker 2: all going to be there. And I was just saying
49:13
Speaker 2: the fact that the last time they had one of
49:15
Speaker 2: these meetings over there, two people showed up. Two But
49:20
Speaker 2: yet everybody wants to go to social media and complain.
49:23
Speaker 2: They want to go to these pseudo ninety nine point
49:27
Speaker 2: nine percent wrong more than their right Facebook pages and
49:32
Speaker 2: put information on there when you have an opportunity to
49:35
Speaker 2: go and talk to these people. And so someone's kind
49:38
Speaker 2: of called me out of that, And I do appreciate
49:40
Speaker 2: the text that says you said yourself, Dave, you don't
49:42
Speaker 2: live there, but you do know the problems. So why
49:44
Speaker 2: do these representatives need more people at a meeting to
49:46
Speaker 2: complain or discuss issues They already know that they're going
49:49
Speaker 2: to complain about well, it's an opportunity. Appreciate the text.
49:52
Speaker 2: It's an opportunity for you to have a one on
49:54
Speaker 2: one with them, to talk to them. As I said,
49:56
Speaker 2: everybody didn't like to go to a to a city
49:58
Speaker 2: council meeting, and this goes for any city. You can talk.
50:02
Speaker 2: You can set just like you're setting at Wendy's, you know,
50:05
Speaker 2: across the table from each other, and you can have
50:07
Speaker 2: an opportunity to talk about it and say, hey, I
50:10
Speaker 2: got a real issue with this in my community. I
50:13
Speaker 2: got a real issue with the crime. I got a
50:15
Speaker 2: real issue with the you know, the potholes and granted
50:17
Speaker 2: sometimes they can't always do a lot about potholes. I
50:20
Speaker 2: got a real issue with drainingg whatever the case may be.
50:22
Speaker 2: They're there. So if you're a resident or a business
50:25
Speaker 2: owner in Kanah City, Kanaw City Community Association meeting free
50:30
Speaker 2: of charge, six o'clock tonight, City National Bank, all the
50:33
Speaker 2: people are going to be there, so it's your chance
50:35
Speaker 2: to go talk to them one on one. And I
50:36
Speaker 2: would hope to God, but they can get more people
50:39
Speaker 2: to show up than two because for that organization, and
50:42
Speaker 2: again I don't live there. That's embarrassing. It's embarrassing. Only
50:47
Speaker 2: two people showed up. You got plenty of notice. It's
50:49
Speaker 2: all I saw about the meeting on social media. And
50:52
Speaker 2: that's when I reached out to Aaron Wood, who's the
50:54
Speaker 2: head of the organization, and said, do you want to
50:56
Speaker 2: come on the show and talk about it? And it
50:58
Speaker 2: showed up in my feet. I don't even live ink
