3:53
Speaker 3: I get this right, Jim Lizzenmeyer, Yes, closely, great, perfect, perfect,
3:59
Speaker 3: and he joined his And you're the new director.
4:01
Speaker 5: Of the Innovation director of the Innovation Center, both the
4:05
Speaker 5: Innovation Hub downtown and the Innovation Center on campus.
4:08
Speaker 3: All right. And also we have with us who will
4:10
Speaker 3: be weighing in a little bit later on, Russell Lasmar
4:13
Speaker 3: who was with us on the show a couple of
4:15
Speaker 3: months ago. Russell, welcome back to the show. Thanks for
4:17
Speaker 3: having me back. Let me crank up your microphone a
4:19
Speaker 3: little bit there, all right, So let me, for those
4:22
Speaker 3: who don't know, talk about the innovation program overall at
4:25
Speaker 3: the University of Charleston.
4:27
Speaker 5: Well, we had two different missions, if you will, Dave.
4:30
Speaker 5: The Innovation Hub downtown, let's call that the external focus,
4:34
Speaker 5: and that is to serve existing businesses, existing small businesses
4:38
Speaker 5: in the Kenall Valley, Whereas the Innovation Center on campus
4:43
Speaker 5: is internally focused with a innovation scholars program. And again
4:49
Speaker 5: that center on campus is to serve students, faculty, and staff.
4:54
Speaker 3: So talk about I mean, people throw out that term
4:57
Speaker 3: in higher education innovation. What does innovation mean in the
5:00
Speaker 3: year twenty twenty five. Well, it's a great question, and
5:04
Speaker 3: this is day seven for me. You're still trying to
5:07
Speaker 3: find your office at this point, right, I'm just trying
5:09
Speaker 3: to find the restaurants in the coffee pot. Important things
5:12
Speaker 3: in life. But you know, the.
5:16
Speaker 5: Traditional in the traditional sense of innovation centers, some universities
5:20
Speaker 5: and colleges center strictly on business school applications, whereas at
5:25
Speaker 5: the University of Charleston they focus on all disciplines, all
5:30
Speaker 5: academic disciplines, be it the arts and sciences or the
5:33
Speaker 5: School of Business. And against some universities and colleges with
5:38
Speaker 5: centers for entrepreneurship or innovation centers only admit students in
5:43
Speaker 5: their third or fourth year, whereas at University of Charleston
5:46
Speaker 5: we start the students from their freshman year.
5:50
Speaker 6: And as it relates to the business facing side of
5:56
Speaker 6: UC at the Downtown Innovation Hub for US, innovation is UH.
6:02
Speaker 6: It sticks to the traditional e d A definition of
6:05
Speaker 6: innovation is the creation of a product, a service, something new,
6:11
Speaker 6: or the recombination of existing products and services that create value.
6:16
Speaker 6: And you know, innovation is a process and that's what
6:20
Speaker 6: we try and instill in the small businesses that we
6:22
Speaker 6: work with that. That process starts with good, honest ideation
6:26
Speaker 6: and we teach firms how to go through those processes.
6:29
Speaker 6: So it's a little different focus than on on campus.
6:32
Speaker 6: You know, we're looking for real value that can be
6:34
Speaker 6: created with the you know, existing or available resources for
6:38
Speaker 6: small businesses.
6:39
Speaker 3: Give us a little bit of background on you, Jim,
6:41
Speaker 3: give us your you give us your bio, and welcome
6:43
Speaker 3: and welcome to the area. About it. Are you from
6:45
Speaker 3: this area or welcome back to the welcome back to
6:47
Speaker 3: the area? Okay, tell us your story. Yeah.
6:49
Speaker 5: So, I'm a native of Honeyson, Okay, and most recently
6:52
Speaker 5: I worked for the West Virginia Department of Economic Development
6:59
Speaker 5: for about six years. The reason why I came back
7:03
Speaker 5: to my home state is to I say atone for
7:06
Speaker 5: the sins of my youth. So I had a successful
7:09
Speaker 5: run owning and operating Baron wine distributors in the state,
7:13
Speaker 5: and with partners, we owned and operated the Budwaher Distributors
7:16
Speaker 5: in Charleston and Parkersburg from eight to sixteen. Sold those
7:20
Speaker 5: in sixteen. I retired to Baltimore. I wandered around aimlessly
7:25
Speaker 5: helping out local colleges and universities at their Centers for Entrepreneurship,
7:30
Speaker 5: University of Baltimore, Morgan State, Johns Hopkins, Loyola, Compon State, UNBC, etc.
7:38
Speaker 5: So that's where I got a taste of working in
7:41
Speaker 5: the university environment and helping small businesses grow and prosper
7:47
Speaker 5: and help emerging businesses start up and get their feet
7:51
Speaker 5: on the ground.
7:52
Speaker 3: What is it about that sort of work, Jim, that
7:54
Speaker 3: you enjoyed so much?
7:56
Speaker 5: Well, I think from my background, I bought businesses, sold businesses,
8:00
Speaker 5: started up businesses. Fortunately, my mistakes, my failures were at
8:05
Speaker 5: the beginning of my career.
8:06
Speaker 3: I set got them out of the way. Yeah, it
8:08
Speaker 3: got them out of the way.
8:09
Speaker 5: So it's always been a passion of mine because I
8:13
Speaker 5: came from a family of small businesses in Huntington.
8:19
Speaker 3: What rate if you and I don't want to get political,
8:21
Speaker 3: because I don't put that, you know, on any of
8:23
Speaker 3: my guests from this realm, but talk about the business
8:25
Speaker 3: climate in West Virginia and what is it that made
8:28
Speaker 3: you want to maybe come As you said, you're a
8:30
Speaker 3: native of Huntington, You're back home. Now, what made you
8:32
Speaker 3: want to come back? Do you see something? Do you
8:35
Speaker 3: see a spark in the world of business here? In
8:37
Speaker 3: West Virginia that says, Hey, this is something I really
8:39
Speaker 3: want to get involved with. What just talk over I'll
8:43
Speaker 3: talk about them.
8:44
Speaker 5: I've been blessed in business and I felt a need
8:48
Speaker 5: to give back to my home state. And the best
8:50
Speaker 5: way I could give back to my home state was
8:52
Speaker 5: getting involved in the business community and helping existing businesses
8:56
Speaker 5: grow and prosper. And that was my mission in the
8:58
Speaker 5: Eastern Panhandle when I work for Micrain in the Department
9:01
Speaker 5: of Economic Development, I worked with existing businesses large, medium
9:05
Speaker 5: and small and helped attract new investment into the state
9:08
Speaker 5: and that was very rewarding.
9:12
Speaker 3: I do want to remind you at the Dave Island

Speaker 9: We all want what's best for our kids, safe, healthy choices,
14:33
Speaker 9: but some politicians right here in West Virginia are going
14:37
Speaker 9: way too far. They're pushing a ban on safe ingredients
14:41
Speaker 9: in our grocery stores. That ban would jock up prices
14:44
Speaker 9: on almost everything we buy. Banning these types of ingredients
14:48
Speaker 9: would eliminate sixty percent of the food on grocery shelves,
14:51
Speaker 9: hiking prices even more when we're already struggling. Worse, it
14:56
Speaker 9: would cost thousands of jobs all across West Virginia. Governor
15:01
Speaker 9: Morrissey can stop this reckless van. It goes way too far.
15:05
Speaker 9: There are more sensible solutions. It should be our choice,
15:09
Speaker 9: not the governments. Call Governor Morrissey at three zero four

Speaker 3: a little bit late. Ron Bigley Pickley Wiggly Hotline three
17:02
Speaker 3: zero four three four five fifty eight fifty eight. Tony
17:04
Speaker 3: the Taylor Text three zero four nine, three, five five
17:08
Speaker 3: zero zero eight. Let me welcome in now the honorable judge.
17:11
Speaker 3: Here come the judge.
17:13
Speaker 10: Hey, good morning, Dave.
17:14
Speaker 9: How you do it?
17:14
Speaker 6: Man?
17:14
Speaker 3: Richard lindsay?
17:17
Speaker 10: Pretty good? Loving this weather like the cool, crisp warnings,
17:20
Speaker 10: and then you know, decent weather in the afternoons.
17:24
Speaker 3: So I go up to get you out of the
17:25
Speaker 3: green room, and I really thought you'd be wearing the robe.
17:29
Speaker 3: I've got this fascination I want to know about the roe.
17:31
Speaker 3: But but you tell me you can't wear the robe
17:33
Speaker 3: out in public? Is that right?
17:34
Speaker 10: Well, I mean because the concern would be that if
17:37
Speaker 10: I'm with you, I'm want to get a bite to eat,
17:38
Speaker 10: and that would barbecue sauce or gravy down the robe.
17:41
Speaker 10: And you know that's never a good look for any judge.
17:43
Speaker 3: I would I would think I would think so. And
17:45
Speaker 3: you said they only give you one rope, Well you.
17:48
Speaker 10: Get you get one, you know, from the Supreme Court,
17:50
Speaker 10: and then it's up to you to get other.
17:52
Speaker 3: We're just one buy a robe, I mean, like judges
17:55
Speaker 3: or us or something or Tony the Taylor have a judge's.
17:59
Speaker 10: So Tony the Taylor may want to look into that.
18:01
Speaker 10: Maybe I don't know. I don't think there's a local
18:04
Speaker 10: distributor of robes.
18:06
Speaker 3: So you know Tony's not there's under the weather right now.
18:09
Speaker 3: He's got the flu. I didn't know he was supposed
18:11
Speaker 3: to be on the show tomorrow to promote his big
18:13
Speaker 3: trunk show that's happening Thursday. I guess we have to
18:15
Speaker 3: put Ryan in charge that he'll probably recover. Well, I
18:18
Speaker 3: think it's Ryan's birthday today? It is? Is it Ryan's birthday?
18:21
Speaker 3: I had a birthday Ryan, except I hope Tony's okay
18:24
Speaker 3: because I got a lot of my wife's money. I
18:25
Speaker 3: want to spend on Thursday down there.
18:28
Speaker 10: I'm sure you can down there absolutely.
18:30
Speaker 3: So how you been are you settling into the job
18:32
Speaker 3: and everything?
18:33
Speaker 10: I think so you know where you know? When I
18:35
Speaker 10: got started, they went ahead. The way it was worked
18:38
Speaker 10: is I needed it reach a certain threshold of cases
18:41
Speaker 10: so I could catch up with all the other judges.
18:43
Speaker 10: And that threshold has been satisfied. And so the last
18:47
Speaker 10: several weeks, my my staff had been working hard with
18:50
Speaker 10: five to seven hearings a day, trying to get the
18:53
Speaker 10: people's work done.
18:54
Speaker 3: What primarily do you see in your courtroom? I mean,
18:57
Speaker 3: we'll get serious here from a moment. But what what
19:00
Speaker 3: what primarily you talked about those cases that you've had
19:02
Speaker 3: early on. I know you can't get into particulars. I
19:04
Speaker 3: don't want that, But overall, what primarily do you see
19:06
Speaker 3: in our court?
19:06
Speaker 11: Right?
19:07
Speaker 10: I see a lot of pro se plaintiffs. So whenever
19:10
Speaker 10: you know, someone's in a car accident and they settle
19:12
Speaker 10: out on their own without an attorney with an insurance company,
19:16
Speaker 10: I see those types of settlements. I see a lot
19:18
Speaker 10: of name changes, a lot of landlord tenant cases, and
19:25
Speaker 10: a lot of truancy. I've got a lot of those
19:27
Speaker 10: here recently.
19:28
Speaker 3: Yes, it's it's that is a real, real problem across
19:32
Speaker 3: the country right now. I mean, I mean it really
19:34
Speaker 3: is parents for one reason or another, or guardians whoever,
19:38
Speaker 3: are just not making sure the kids are in school. Yes, yes,
19:41
Speaker 3: and that leads to a whole lot of other problems. Well,
19:44
Speaker 3: showing ups half the.
19:44
Speaker 10: Game, as you know, day Yeah, So, I mean you
19:46
Speaker 10: don't have to be the brightest bulb to be successful,
19:48
Speaker 10: but you got to show up. So I think that
19:51
Speaker 10: that applies to both of us, of course. So so,
19:54
Speaker 10: but then, of course you mentioned the more the more
19:57
Speaker 10: heartbreaking cases of fair share of abuse and neglect cases
20:00
Speaker 10: as well. Right, So, but I will say, you know,
20:05
Speaker 10: in my experience, I've been thankful for the prosecutors that
20:09
Speaker 10: have appeared on behalf of the state and the CPS.
20:11
Speaker 10: Most of the CPS workers that I've seen have done
20:13
Speaker 10: a great job. And you know, I think that you know,
20:16
Speaker 10: everyone is trying to work towards the goal of making
20:19
Speaker 10: sure that these children are safe, but you know there's
20:21
Speaker 10: still work to be done. And you know, Judge Mary
20:25
Speaker 10: Claire Akers had a big hearing last week, and I
20:26
Speaker 10: think it was last week where she brought the Secretary
20:29
Speaker 10: of the OHS down there to address an issue that
20:33
Speaker 10: I think she ran across where you know, as judges
20:37
Speaker 10: in these types of scenarios, we are the gatekeepers of information.
20:40
Speaker 10: We get all the reports from the state and from
20:43
Speaker 10: CPS and from the defense attorneys that are involved, and
20:46
Speaker 10: then we try to take all that information and make
20:49
Speaker 10: a decision. And I think the reason why she put
20:51
Speaker 10: a spotlight on it was there was important information that
20:53
Speaker 10: she was not getting in those summaries. I think we're
20:56
Speaker 10: a child attempted to take his own life, and so
20:58
Speaker 10: to put a spotlight on that and make sure that again,
21:01
Speaker 10: the judges are getting everything because they have to make
21:05
Speaker 10: again well reasoned decisions based upon the information in front
21:08
Speaker 10: of them. And you can't address a problem if you
21:10
Speaker 10: don't know what exists to begin with.
21:12
Speaker 3: And it does seem, and again we're talking to Judge
21:14
Speaker 3: Ridge Lindsay, it does seem that anytime you turn on
21:19
Speaker 3: our radio or watch television, pick up the paper or whatever,
21:21
Speaker 3: there is a story related to what you're talking about. Now.
21:25
Speaker 3: I know yesterday there was some pretty contentious and we'll
21:28
Speaker 3: let TJ and Wilson get into that more on talk
21:31
Speaker 3: Line from the Capitol coming up later on, But there
21:34
Speaker 3: was some pretty contentious conversation yesterday there. One of the
21:39
Speaker 3: things I want to talk about, Kennawk County Commissioned President
21:42
Speaker 3: Bensulango about is an incident, some incidents that happened out
21:47
Speaker 3: at Camp Virgil Tait when there were some kids from Foster,
21:51
Speaker 3: you know, kids and kids that were wards or whatever
21:54
Speaker 3: that were out there, and that seemed to be a
21:55
Speaker 3: problem as well. So I say all that to say that,
21:59
Speaker 3: and you're somebody who's served in the legislature as well,
22:02
Speaker 3: so you may have a little bit more information about this.
22:04
Speaker 3: Maybe what some of added information. I will say that
22:08
Speaker 3: that you'll take him to the court room with you
22:10
Speaker 3: as well. Well, we had a problem man in West Virginia.
22:12
Speaker 3: We definitely do yes.
22:13
Speaker 10: And I think that you know, as you know, because
22:15
Speaker 10: we've talked about it before. You know, I'm a big
22:17
Speaker 10: fan of President Bill Clinton and and and his quotes
22:20
Speaker 10: and one of the one of my one of my
22:21
Speaker 10: favorite quotes that he said is there's nothing you know
22:24
Speaker 10: wrong with America that can't be fixed with what's right
22:26
Speaker 10: with America. And the same true is true for West Virginia.
22:28
Speaker 10: There's nothing wrong with West Virginia that can't be fixed
22:31
Speaker 10: with what's right with West Virginia. But it's going to
22:33
Speaker 10: take everyone. It's going to take a commitment from the judiciary,
22:36
Speaker 10: from the executive, from local officials, from the judiciary to
22:42
Speaker 10: put a focus and make a commitment to saying, Okay,
22:44
Speaker 10: these are our issues. How do we fix these problems? So,
22:49
Speaker 10: I mean, I think I think that's as far as
22:52
Speaker 10: I could probably say right now without going any further.
22:55
Speaker 10: I think I think there's people who listen to understand
22:57
Speaker 10: where I'm coming from.
22:58
Speaker 3: So Judge Riche Lindsay's here one of reminds the vaccines
23:00
Speaker 3: or your best protection against severe disease from fluid COVID
23:03
Speaker 3: nineteen if you're sixty five or older, risk glass do
23:05
Speaker 3: more with the season of Vaccines. Get started at vaccines
23:08
Speaker 3: dot gov. Paid for by the US Department of Health
23:10
Speaker 3: and Human Services. Now, I want to say this before
23:13
Speaker 3: I talk to you about why I have you here today.
23:15
Speaker 3: You know, I know you're a big foodie as I am.
23:17
Speaker 3: I don't know whether you're planning on being there, but
23:19
Speaker 3: I am going to be at Capital Market this coming
23:21
Speaker 3: Saturday for the Green Chili Shootout. They've asked myself, Steve Animal,
23:25
Speaker 3: Rob Real Logan for V one hundred. We are all
23:28
Speaker 3: going to be there, so I hope that you and
23:31
Speaker 3: the family can make a if you're in town, can
23:33
Speaker 3: make a make a stop by there.
23:35
Speaker 10: We'll definitely be there. This will be I'm thankful. I mean,
23:38
Speaker 10: I enjoy judging chili cookoffs, but this is the first
23:42
Speaker 10: chili cookoff or shootout that I'm attending where I don't
23:45
Speaker 10: have to judge, so I'm just gonna be.
23:46
Speaker 3: I wonder what they would do, though, if you did
23:48
Speaker 3: show up in your judge's robe and say I'm here
23:50
Speaker 3: to Judge this protocol, you go back to the stain
23:53
Speaker 3: on the on the robe again.
23:55
Speaker 10: Yeah, I just cause I'm just a messy. I can't
23:58
Speaker 10: help myself.
23:58
Speaker 3: I'm the same. So all right, the reason that I
24:01
Speaker 3: wanted to have you in the show today, and I
24:02
Speaker 3: appreciate all your insights into all those things. You and
24:04
Speaker 3: I always have great conversations. But Saint Patrick's Day is
24:08
Speaker 3: coming up, and you are going to be doing something
24:13
Speaker 3: special for folks that want to get married on Saint
24:17
Speaker 3: Patrick's Day, or maybe do an adoption or something on
24:19
Speaker 3: St Patrick's say, talking about that, Yeah, that's.
24:21
Speaker 10: Exactly right, you know, again trying to take Judge Acres's
24:24
Speaker 10: lead just about on everything. But you know she does
24:26
Speaker 10: marriages and adoptions on Valentine's Day. She took that from
24:29
Speaker 10: Judge King, who was her predecessor. I think it was
24:32
Speaker 10: called King of Hearts, and so obviously I wouldn't want
24:36
Speaker 10: to step on her that and that day. So I
24:38
Speaker 10: figured Saint Patrick's Day because it's close enough to Valentine's
24:41
Speaker 10: Day and Saint Patrick's Day. I don't know about you day,
24:43
Speaker 10: but in my household, that's a that's a big holiday.
24:46
Speaker 10: My wife and I before we had kids, would go
24:49
Speaker 10: to Chicago or Savannah and and enjoy the holiday there.
24:53
Speaker 10: And now that we have kids, we you know, we
24:55
Speaker 10: drag them along if we can. Otherwise, everyone dresses in
24:58
Speaker 10: green and eats candy and has a good time. So
25:00
Speaker 10: I thought, what better way to celebrate that than to
25:04
Speaker 10: you know, celebrate the marriages of folks and the adoptions
25:07
Speaker 10: of children, and so we called it Cupids and Leprechauns.
25:11
Speaker 10: Will I will officiate weddings all day. I've already got
25:14
Speaker 10: four to five couples. One couple is they're both seventy
25:18
Speaker 10: years old, which is kind of interesting. Really Yeah, yeah,
25:21
Speaker 10: I want to find out more information on that when
25:23
Speaker 10: they come. But it's hopeful for me. I enjoy seeing that.
25:26
Speaker 10: But it's called Cubans, Cupids and Leprechauns. It's all day
25:30
Speaker 10: from ten to four on Saint Patrick's Day, March seventeenth,
25:34
Speaker 10: And you know, I'm at four oh nine Virginia Street East,
25:38
Speaker 10: second floor court room. That's the old courthouse. People don't
25:42
Speaker 10: have to pay. All they have to have is a
25:44
Speaker 10: marriage license that I need to sign, and you can
25:46
Speaker 10: do that same day of the ceremony. You just have
25:48
Speaker 10: to show up at the office downstairs from the courtroom
25:51
Speaker 10: or my court room in the old courthouse and file
25:55
Speaker 10: for that, and we'll have treats and goodies. I'm trying
25:58
Speaker 10: to work in a couple local people and folks who
26:01
Speaker 10: can help with making that day a great day for
26:03
Speaker 10: everyone involved. So I invite people.
26:06
Speaker 3: Okay, so what do you need from people? I mean,
26:08
Speaker 3: you want to have some bakeries come down.
26:10
Speaker 10: Or well, I'm working on that. Okay, we'll have I
26:13
Speaker 10: haven't decided whether or not I'm going to go with
26:15
Speaker 10: the cupcakes or donuts. If I'm going donuts, it'll probably
26:18
Speaker 10: be the donut connection. I've got to ask them. And
26:20
Speaker 10: then if cupcakes, my sister in law and a couple
26:24
Speaker 10: other people are out there that I may.
26:25
Speaker 3: Got a lot of places here in the valley that
26:27
Speaker 3: do some killer cupcakesh.
26:29
Speaker 10: Absolutely, absolutely, So I'm working on that. And then I'm
26:32
Speaker 10: trying to tie in you know, a local business here
26:35
Speaker 10: who can maybe.
26:35
Speaker 3: Help with some all right, local businesses. Yeah, here's your call.
26:39
Speaker 3: I mean just just call your office.
26:40
Speaker 10: Or yeah, call my office and figure what it's a
26:42
Speaker 10: number down there. Oh that's a good question.
26:44
Speaker 3: Do you even know the number? But yeah, whether you
26:46
Speaker 3: do or.
26:47
Speaker 10: Well, people who are interested who want to help and
26:49
Speaker 10: then also want to get married or have adopted child,
26:52
Speaker 10: they need to call three zero four, three five seven SIXO.

26:58
Speaker 10: Yes they do, Yes they do. I mean we'll take
27:01
Speaker 10: people as they come.
27:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that probably would be But that's the same
27:03
Speaker 3: thing when I have Judge Jakers on, she talks about
27:06
Speaker 3: that too. You know, walk ins are welcome, but you know,
27:08
Speaker 3: just to make sure you have enough enough judge to
27:10
Speaker 3: go around. You make sure that you call ahead of time.
27:13
Speaker 10: Absolutely. And you know another thing that the other reason
27:16
Speaker 10: why I wanted to do this is it is just
27:18
Speaker 10: a happy moment. You get to beat so many people.
27:19
Speaker 10: I've done a handful of marriages and an adoption so far,
27:23
Speaker 10: and everyone just has a unique story.
27:26
Speaker 3: Sure, especially the seventy year olds that are getting married.
27:28
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm looking forward to that, looking forward.
27:30
Speaker 3: And get them on the show. You can bring them
27:32
Speaker 3: in here sometimes, Okay, all right, be kind of cool.
27:34
Speaker 3: Are they local? I mean I'm assuming they're local folks.
27:36
Speaker 10: You assume you don't know? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean
27:39
Speaker 10: I'll see what I can ask. I'll just say they
27:40
Speaker 10: want to do it.
27:41
Speaker 3: Ask them, ask them, tell them that we want to
27:43
Speaker 3: have them on the show. I want to talk to
27:44
Speaker 3: these seventy year olds that are getting married. I will
27:47
Speaker 3: do all right, So again your number down there.

Speaker 10: Three zero four, three five seven o six hundred.
27:53
Speaker 3: All right, Judge. Always a pleasure to have you on
27:55
Speaker 3: the show. Yes, sir, and uh uh and I'm I'm
27:57
Speaker 3: assuming you're heading back to the court ash you get
27:59
Speaker 3: stuff you want to on to day. You were talking
28:01
Speaker 3: about Saint Patrick's. Then let me throw this out here
28:03
Speaker 3: real quick because my man, Steve Animal would would be
28:05
Speaker 3: a very upset with me if I don't do this.

Speaker 4: Uh.
28:09

28:33
Speaker 3: to tap all the big businesses there in Saint Albans.
28:35
Speaker 3: So you folks are looking for something to do, come
28:37
Speaker 3: hang out on the tree. I normally wouldn't advise people
28:40
Speaker 3: to hang out on the streets in Saint Albans with
28:42
Speaker 3: Steve Animal because you may end up in front of
28:44
Speaker 3: another judge if you do that. But but it'll be

28:47

32:23
Speaker 3: Canon County Commission President Vinsilango here. I don't want to
32:26
Speaker 3: get this out though. Last night there was a traffic accident,
32:30
Speaker 3: a horrible accident on I sixty four eastbound between cross
32:33
Speaker 3: Lanes and Institute, and sadly it appears that there was
32:35
Speaker 3: a fatality. The News department will have more on that
32:38
Speaker 3: throughout the day and on air and on the website.
32:41
Speaker 3: And I don't want what I'm about to say to
32:43
Speaker 3: get lost in the shuffle here. But there were reports
32:46
Speaker 3: that people were trapped on sixty four east upwards of
32:49
Speaker 3: seven hours or so last night while crews were working
32:53
Speaker 3: to clean up the mess, and again there was a fatality.
32:55
Speaker 3: So I don't want to make it seem like people
32:58
Speaker 3: being inconvenience on the interstate were more valuable in some
33:00
Speaker 3: way than a person killed. But it does beg a
33:04
Speaker 3: question here. And let me just say, there's no bigger
33:06
Speaker 3: supporter of police, fire, emergency services etc. From the one
33:10
Speaker 3: I am, And it's the same for road crews and
33:13
Speaker 3: has Matt and whatnot. There's got to be a better
33:15
Speaker 3: way here, folks. I am certainly no expert in this
33:18
Speaker 3: field by any stretch of the imagination, but leaving people
33:21
Speaker 3: stranded on the interstate for seven hours, there's just got
33:25
Speaker 3: to be a better way to do it. I had
33:26
Speaker 3: a similar situation that happened to me ten years or
33:29
Speaker 3: so ago. I left my home in Days Valley for
33:32
Speaker 3: a five o'clock meeting. I left around four fifteen or
33:35
Speaker 3: so for a meeting in Saint Albans and I spent
33:38
Speaker 3: about seven hours sitting in my car on the interstate. Eventually,
33:42
Speaker 3: the police and other emergency services folks were able to
33:45
Speaker 3: divert traffic the wrong way. Again, I don't know what
33:48
Speaker 3: the answer is. But I just saw a lot of
33:49
Speaker 3: chatter about it online and something simply I think has
33:53
Speaker 3: got to be got to be done there to make
33:56
Speaker 3: sure that doesn't happen again. In our thoughts and prayers
33:58
Speaker 3: with those that were involved in the accident, Dave Island

Speaker 3: I'm so glad that our esteem Republican legislator have taken
34:29
Speaker 3: it seriously about working demand pronouns and use of bathrooms
34:33
Speaker 3: and that don't don't matter your assigned sex. These are
34:35
Speaker 3: the real issues. Who cares about doing anything for actual
34:39
Speaker 3: dat and abuse kids when we can pretend to do something.
34:41
Speaker 3: Republicans have no integrity. It's a texture Canaan County Commission

34:50
Speaker 3: turn your microphone off. Ictually, people probably enjoy it better
34:54
Speaker 3: if you just turn it off. Yeah, no, no, you know.
34:56
Speaker 11: Last night, so we had that terrible accident on the interstate,
34:59
Speaker 11: and I was getting I was in communication with the
35:02
Speaker 11: Sheriff's department. They had to bring in the accident reconstruction team,
35:05
Speaker 11: and that's what takes a little bit longer. It was
35:08
Speaker 11: a very obviously it was a fatality, very serious accident,
35:11
Speaker 11: and they had. When those guys are doing their reconstruction,
35:15
Speaker 11: they're out there taking measurements how they need the entire interstate.
35:19
Speaker 11: They're looking for the smallest detail, what they call yaw marks,
35:23
Speaker 11: like it was a car spinning sideways. Was the point
35:27
Speaker 11: of collision. They'll get indentations in the concrete and they
35:32
Speaker 11: can tell exactly where the point of collision was. So,
35:35
Speaker 11: particularly since it's that night, it takes a little bit longer,
35:38
Speaker 11: and it's it's an inconvenience to everybody, but they've got
35:41
Speaker 11: to get there, right.
35:42
Speaker 3: I get that. I understand that, but I also understand
35:44
Speaker 3: or also you understand the situation with people. I mean,
35:47
Speaker 3: oh yeah again, I'm not trying to downplay this, and
35:50
Speaker 3: somebody was in but I mean there were people commissioners
35:52
Speaker 3: sitting on the interstate for seven and eight hours last night.
35:55
Speaker 3: Absolutely there's got to be something. I mean that you
35:59
Speaker 3: getlaw enforcement out there diverted direct you know, back the
36:02
Speaker 3: opposite direction, and what happens is is, you well know,
36:05
Speaker 3: people get upset and then they say, well, screw this,
36:08
Speaker 3: I'm going to turn around. I'm going to go back
36:10
Speaker 3: the other way. Then they end up meeting and they
36:11
Speaker 3: have more access. Right, But it's a problem, all right.
36:14
Speaker 3: So I want to talk about Camp virgil Tate for
36:16
Speaker 3: a moment. Last Thursday night, during the County Commission meeting,
36:20
Speaker 3: there was some discussion about Camp virgil Tate being used
36:25
Speaker 3: to house foster kids.
36:26
Speaker 11: Tell us the story at about some of the issues,
36:28
Speaker 11: you know, and honestly, I did not know what was
36:31
Speaker 11: going on. I don't think anyone knew what was going on.
36:35
Speaker 11: So there was an agreement with CPS and some local
36:39
Speaker 11: hotels to house children there. And this is you know,
36:41
Speaker 11: the CPS is kind of in a situation where there
36:45
Speaker 11: are not a lot of good options for them. You know,
36:46
Speaker 11: there aren't a lot of emergency foster parents, and so
36:49
Speaker 11: when they run out of the ability to put children
36:52
Speaker 11: in the placement of emergency foster parents, that were actually
36:56
Speaker 11: doing it by putting them in hotels supervised. Of course,
37:00
Speaker 11: it's not like these kids are just in a hotel
37:02
Speaker 11: by themselves, but there were a lot of issues. I
37:06
Speaker 11: understand that the hotels didn't want them there anymore because
37:09
Speaker 11: there was a lot of property damage, there was a
37:11
Speaker 11: lot of police calls, a lot of emergency calls fire departments.
37:16
Speaker 11: So they had entered into an agreement with Camp Virgil Taatee,
37:20
Speaker 11: and that had been going on for quite some time.
37:23
Speaker 11: That was brought to my attention in probably just two
37:26
Speaker 11: weeks ago that it was happening because of the volume
37:29
Speaker 11: of sheriff department response out there and also ambulance response.
37:34
Speaker 11: And so I put a call into the director of
37:37
Speaker 11: Camp Vergil Tatee just to find out what in the
37:39
Speaker 11: world was going on, because I mean sometimes there were
37:42
Speaker 11: multiple calls in a single day. And I was told
37:46
Speaker 11: that there was an agreement that they were just signing
37:50
Speaker 11: the regular overnight stay agreement at Camp Vergil Tape. But
37:54
Speaker 11: the problem is when you're dealing with at risk kids
37:57
Speaker 11: and when you're dealing with a situation like that, and
38:00
Speaker 11: particularly where Kennaugh County owns part of that property and
38:04
Speaker 11: is funding can't virgil Tate to the tune of about
38:07
Speaker 11: one point four million dollars over the last ten years.
38:10
Speaker 11: We have to look at our exposure too. Knauk County
38:13
Speaker 11: is not like the state. We don't have immunity above
38:15
Speaker 11: our insurance limits. So we talked about those issues. We
38:19
Speaker 11: talked about the lack of what's called an indemnity agreement,
38:22
Speaker 11: which is essentially, if somebody gets injured there or killed there,
38:27
Speaker 11: or something you know untoward happens there, that it would
38:30
Speaker 11: be on the state's liability and their responsibility under their
38:34
Speaker 11: insurance coverage and not on the counties or on Camp
38:37
Speaker 11: virgil Tate or four H Foundation. And those agreements weren't
38:41
Speaker 11: in place, and so you've got a situation where there
38:43
Speaker 11: was considerable exposure to everybody involved, well everyone excepts CPS
38:48
Speaker 11: because they're immune above their limits, but we're not. And
38:52
Speaker 11: so that's that was basically that started the discussion. And
38:55
Speaker 11: so when they came in for their budget presentation, you know,
38:57
Speaker 11: we were looking at ways that we could restless situation.
39:01
Speaker 11: I wanted an explanation about what they planned to do
39:04
Speaker 11: in the future and whether or not we were going
39:07
Speaker 11: to be invested in that where we were going to
39:09
Speaker 11: actually commit to the funding of them anymore. And that
39:12
Speaker 11: was the discussion. We still haven't decided. Ultimately, they're going
39:15
Speaker 11: to submit a corrective action plan to say, hey, here's
39:19
Speaker 11: how we're going to handle this moving forward. I don't
39:22
Speaker 11: know if they're going to have these at risk kids
39:24
Speaker 11: there anymore. There was a lot of property damage.
39:27
Speaker 3: Uh, I mean, hey, I read, of course we reported
39:30
Speaker 3: not but also read the accounts in the gazette mail
39:32
Speaker 3: that talked about it too, about there were kids threatened
39:35
Speaker 3: to kill each other and killing it, kill themselves and
39:37
Speaker 3: things of that nature. Yeah, it was.
39:39
Speaker 11: It was pretty and you feel terrible for these kids.
39:41
Speaker 11: You know, they're the worst possible times of their lives there,
39:45
Speaker 11: and so you know, I commend anybody who wants to help,
39:49
Speaker 11: but you also have to be practical about it, and
39:51
Speaker 11: you have to be smart about it. And that's what
39:53
Speaker 11: that's kind of where I was trying to get to
39:55
Speaker 11: the bottom of it. And I think, uh, Commission Wheeler
39:58
Speaker 11: and I were were concerned about the management and the
40:02
Speaker 11: oversight and particularly the fact that there were no agreements
40:05
Speaker 11: in place, there were no liability waivers, there were no
40:08
Speaker 11: indemnity there was there was nothing like that in place.
40:12
Speaker 11: And when you have unlimited exposure, you have to do
40:15
Speaker 11: an assessment of exactly how this is going to impact taxpayers.
40:19
Speaker 11: And so that's what we were looking at. We were
40:21
Speaker 11: trying to figure out what are the best steps forward
40:25
Speaker 11: and that led to the you know, the commission meeting
40:28
Speaker 11: Thursday night. Now again I'm one hundred percent in favor
40:32
Speaker 11: of four h you know, it was not like the
40:34
Speaker 11: Commission Wheeler I were against four hs. But what we
40:37
Speaker 11: are against is burdening the taxpayers with a bunch of liability.
40:42
Speaker 11: And so we had to look at that issue.
40:44
Speaker 3: Talking again with Kenawk County Commission President of Ben slang Gove.
40:47
Speaker 3: Dave Island Showing five eighty Live is presented a part
40:49

41:11
Speaker 3: Dirty Birds Baseball dot com for more information. We all
41:15
Speaker 3: know Commissioner all too well in this area about the
41:18
Speaker 3: problems with flooding, and you know, the fire hearts go
41:23
Speaker 3: out to those folks in McDowell County and Mingo County
41:26
Speaker 3: and also I just all were my native land. Logan
41:29
Speaker 3: County and Wayne County were both added to the federal
41:32
Speaker 3: disaster list. We've seen a lot of that here in
41:35
Speaker 3: Kanawa County, thankfully for us, not this time around, but
41:38
Speaker 3: you know it's going to happen again at some point.
41:40
Speaker 3: The Commission has passed an ordinance to try to let's say,
41:45
Speaker 3: aid a little bit. What does it say.
41:46
Speaker 11: Yeah, So this was in response to we're seeing flooding
41:50
Speaker 11: in the same areas over and over and over, and
41:53
Speaker 11: you know, because of the terrain in some of these areas,
41:56
Speaker 11: you're not gonna be able to prevent all the flooding.
41:58
Speaker 11: So what we want to do is try to at
42:00
Speaker 11: least minimized to the extent we can. The flooding that
42:04
Speaker 11: as a result of clagged creeks and clogged culverts. A
42:08
Speaker 11: lot of people will have these culverts on their land
42:11
Speaker 11: and they won't clean them out, and so that doesn't
42:12
Speaker 11: affect just them, it affects everybody around them, and so
42:16
Speaker 11: when it floods, you know, they're trying to unclog the culvert,
42:19
Speaker 11: and at that point is too dangerous and quite frankly.
42:20
Speaker 3: Impossible to do.
42:21
Speaker 11: So we actually pass an ordinance where we're going to
42:25
Speaker 11: take a proactive approach. We're going to have a person
42:28
Speaker 11: that goes around and looks at these culverts, looking at
42:30
Speaker 11: the creeks and trying to get them fixed before it rains. Now,
42:35
Speaker 11: Mother Nature's unpredictable, sure, and the last time that we
42:39
Speaker 11: had a flood event, it wasn't in the normal places,
42:42
Speaker 11: so you know, the usual low lying areas is what
42:45
Speaker 11: we say that is.
42:46
Speaker 3: That's right.
42:47
Speaker 11: We did not see flooding in those areas. There was
42:49
Speaker 11: flooding in other areas, So you know, it's going to
42:51
Speaker 11: keep us on our toes, but at least those areas
42:54
Speaker 11: where we can and we're going to map this where
42:58
Speaker 11: we can start mapping it and find where the the
43:00
Speaker 11: more flood prone areas are. We're going to take a
43:03
Speaker 11: proactive approach to these culverts. We're going to go out
43:05
Speaker 11: and inspect and if they're clogged, we'll notify the landowner. Obviously,
43:09
Speaker 11: we can't go on to land and unclog these ourselves
43:12
Speaker 11: unless it's an emergency, and then we can do it
43:14
Speaker 11: and then we can build a landowner for it. But
43:16
Speaker 11: we want to take a proactive approach to try to
43:18
Speaker 11: get some of these culverts and some of these creeks
43:20
Speaker 11: cleaned out. You know a lot of times you get
43:22
Speaker 11: you know, the power lines need to be cleared as well,
43:25
Speaker 11: so they trim the branches around the power lines and
43:27
Speaker 11: they throw those in the creeks. We can't have that anymore,
43:29
Speaker 11: and so if we see that, we're going to notify
43:32
Speaker 11: ap We're going to notify Aspen whoever we need to
43:35
Speaker 11: deal with it that way. Also with the landowners who
43:38
Speaker 11: aren't taking care of the culverts, we're going to be able.
43:40
Speaker 11: This ordinance allows us to go in and try to
43:44
Speaker 11: take a proactive approach and get them to fix it.
43:46
Speaker 11: And if they can't fix it, if it's emergent, then
43:48
Speaker 11: we will be able to fix it and then deal
43:50
Speaker 11: with the landowner later.
43:51
Speaker 3: I mean, so much of what we see in this area, Commissioner,
43:55
Speaker 3: and it's true of all over West Virginia. It's not
43:57
Speaker 3: necessarily river flooding we have. We do see that from
44:00
Speaker 3: time to time. We saw it in twenty sixteen, but
44:02
Speaker 3: it's not a lot of times. It's I hate to
44:05
Speaker 3: say it, but in many, many cases, it could be prevented.
44:08
Speaker 3: It's human error or human negligence in many cases.
44:12
Speaker 11: And that's what we're trying to focus on. You know,
44:13
Speaker 11: the the culverts, for example, if we keep those clean,
44:19
Speaker 11: I think it may not eliminate the flooding entirely, but
44:22
Speaker 11: it may eliminate the devastating effect of the flooding, like
44:26
Speaker 11: it will at least reduce it somewhat and get that
44:29
Speaker 11: water moving down to where it needs to be. But
44:31
Speaker 11: it's not it's a situation where you know, if they
44:34
Speaker 11: haven't cleaned these culverts in years and you have a
44:37
Speaker 11: flood event. It's not just your property. I mean, if
44:40
Speaker 11: you want to get water in your basement, in your
44:41
Speaker 11: living room, that's your prerogative, but you don't deserve to
44:44
Speaker 11: be able to make these choices and affect your neighbors
44:47
Speaker 11: or your other people, because that's exactly what we've been
44:49
Speaker 11: seeing and that's what we're going to try to stop.
44:51
Speaker 3: We had a text here about the foster kid situation.
44:53
Speaker 3: We talked about at the top of the segment. Commissioner.
44:55
Speaker 3: These kids are put up in hotels without constant supervision.
44:58
Speaker 3: It's wrong and it's a man.
45:00
Speaker 11: Yes, well, and I think that's something the legislature can
45:02
Speaker 11: focus on. And it is a complex problem and there's
45:06
Speaker 11: not an easy solution. Anybody that has an easy solution
45:09
Speaker 11: to a complex problem probably doesn't understand the problem. And
45:12
Speaker 11: so I think the legislature needs to look at this.
45:15
Speaker 11: But you know, one thing that we don't want to
45:17
Speaker 11: do as a county is to buy into this system
45:22
Speaker 11: and therefore have to live with the consequences of it.
45:25
Speaker 11: I mean, we don't want a situation where, you know,
45:28
Speaker 11: there's some twenty million dollar liability on the county because
45:32
Speaker 11: of you know, the kids being unsupervised at canvirgial date.
45:35
Speaker 3: All Right, we got to take a break back after
45:37

Speaker 3: ed U. Text says day there has to be a
48:22
Speaker 3: blame put on those folks that choose to live in
48:24
Speaker 3: a floodplain. They know well ahead of time that it floods,
48:27
Speaker 3: and choose to go back time and time again when
48:30
Speaker 3: they get flooded. Any comment on it, I mean all
48:35
Speaker 3: you can say about that? All right? We had to
48:37
Speaker 3: text somebody asking about the but the sports complex? Where
48:41
Speaker 3: are and I'll read the tech Let me read the
48:43
Speaker 3: text first. Are there any updates on what would be
48:45
Speaker 3: considered in the sports complex. I'd like to see a
48:47
Speaker 3: movie theater, classic arcade for the gen xers, uh and
48:52
Speaker 3: roller skating rink make it almost like a cross between
48:55
Speaker 3: the All of America and Great Wolf Lodge. Where are
48:57
Speaker 3: we on said sports complex?
48:59
Speaker 11: You know, one of the first things I did when
49:01
Speaker 11: I was working on the Shawnee Sports Complex, I actually
49:03
Speaker 11: reached out to a Great Wolf Lodge to see if
49:06
Speaker 11: they would put a smaller lodge here like in Kanawa County,
49:10
Speaker 11: and we had discussions about it, and I actually went
49:11
Speaker 11: to one of their competitors too. But I've tried to
49:13
Speaker 11: get a Great Wolf Lodge type facility here the sports complex,
49:17
Speaker 11: you know, we've we've had it designed. There actually is
49:20
Speaker 11: in the latest design an arcade in it, because I
49:23
Speaker 11: think that would be in The committee thinks that that
49:25
Speaker 11: would be very popular. So the hold up right now
49:28
Speaker 11: is that we're we were given a seven million dollar
49:31
Speaker 11: the city was seven million dollar earmark congressionally directed spending,
49:36
Speaker 11: I think is the politically correct term for it now. Uh,
49:40
Speaker 11: And that's on hold. You know, that was in last
49:42
Speaker 11: year's budget. The budget didn't pass, you know, after the election,
49:46
Speaker 11: and so there's seven million dollars that's hanging out there
49:50
Speaker 11: that we have not received an update on. And so
49:53
Speaker 11: so this is on Washington, is what you're saying. It's
49:55
Speaker 11: on Washington, you know, Senator Mansion was able to get
49:59
Speaker 11: us that mark, the seven millionaire mark for the sports complex,
50:02
Speaker 11: and then it's just kind of disappeared, and we're waiting
50:05
Speaker 11: to see what happens. If if we don't get that
50:07
Speaker 11: seven million, then our choices are going to be limited.
50:10
Speaker 11: We either have to go back and scale back the
50:12
Speaker 11: project because we already had the essentially the rest of
50:15
Speaker 11: the money. You know, we had already talked to the
50:18
Speaker 11: finance people about bonding, we had talked about UH, we
50:22
Speaker 11: had even looked at dedicated revenue streams at the county
50:25
Speaker 11: to pay on the bond. So all that was in place,
50:28
Speaker 11: and then the seven million dollars was held up in
50:31
Speaker 11: Congress and so we're just kind of watchful, waiting, you know,
50:34
Speaker 11: to see, well the solution. Hopefully they'll pass the budget
50:39
Speaker 11: and that will go through, and if they don't, if
50:41
Speaker 11: that ear mark, and honestly, I've talked to to some
50:44
Speaker 11: of the folks up UH in the in Congress, and
50:47
Speaker 11: it's very unusual to have an ear mark like that
50:50
Speaker 11: not go through. But it's very unusual times we're living in.
50:54
Speaker 11: So we're we're concerned that that it won't happen, and
50:56
Speaker 11: so we either have to scale back the project or
50:59
Speaker 11: kind of put the project on hold until we do
51:01
Speaker 11: get that money at some point in the future. All right,
51:04
Speaker 11: well that's not the news I think people wanted to hear. Yeah, unfortunately, unfortunately,
51:08
Speaker 11: but that's kind of where we are. I mean, we
51:09
Speaker 11: can't go forward if we don't have that seven million.
51:11
Speaker 11: We either have to scale it back or come up
51:14
Speaker 11: with plan. See what's Mike Tyson say. Everybody has a
51:16
Speaker 11: plan until they get punched in the middle. They get
51:18
Speaker 11: punched in the face and sounds like this. We've been
51:20
Speaker 11: punched in the face.
51:21
Speaker 3: Hey, Ryan, let's go ahead and go to the Capitol.
