• 3:11
  Speaker 4: a little bit early. NFL opens up tonight. We got
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: the world's biggest Dallas Cowboy fan in me and possibly
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: the second biggest Dallas Cowboy fan in you, Commissioner. The
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: only reason your second is because I'm older than you are.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: That's the only reason.
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: Dave, I don't think.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: So okay, okay, Well, I mean, do you want to
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: give your age, I'll give mine. Well, I know I
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: don't look at, but I'll be fifty five here in
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: a couple of weeks. I know, I know, Ben, I
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: don't look at That's exactly what you're saying, right anyway,
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: spoken like a true attorney. All right, Jared Page is
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: with it, and I just want to let you know.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: A Page comes into the studio this morning, Ben wearing
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: this god awful Eagles garbage on his chest. Just so
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: you know, normally on I always wear Cowboys gear. However,
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: I am m seeing an event tonight. So I'm gonna
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: be headed back down to my homeland tonight to MC
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: the Logan High Hall of Fame dinner. So I got
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: to change into something else, and I'm gonna miss a
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: little bit of the game. I will be listening to it, though.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: It's gonna be the shortest Hall of Fame ceremony you've
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: ever seen. I'm gonna say congratulations, here's your plaques. We
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: got to go, and I don't hit the road so
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: I can listen to the game. But come game time tonight,
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: I will have the Cowboys gear on.
• 4:26
  Speaker 7: Ben Oh. Absolutely. You know what, if I would have
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: known Jared was coming in the studio, I would have
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: dusted off my Rogers Stallbach or my Danny White jersey. Ah.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Nice, Jared, Do you want to comment on that? Before
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: we get anything serious here, I.
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: Can just only think about Super Bowl ring and a
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: banner being held or put up in the stadium tonight.
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: That's something that Dallas hasn't experienced in a long time.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: So we'll just leave it at that. You know, we
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: got five of them. I'm just saying. Unfortunately, somebody said
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: the other I saw I read this online. Somebody said
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: about the Cowboys they said the Cowboys. No Cowboy fan
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: hand ever seen a game on a flat screen TV.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: I saw that and.
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: It was funny. And I don't think we'll be watching
• 5:09
  Speaker 7: it this year either, after the recent trade of Mike
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: and Parsons. And you know, we've got a lot of
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: new stuff going on, new defensive coordinators, coach, everything's new there,
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: So I don't And I wonder if the Mike and
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: Parsons trade was almost a concession by Jerry Jones that
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: this is not going to be a very good season.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Look, I supported the trade. I mean, and I know
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: not a lot of Cowboys fans will say that, but
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: I will. He didn't want to be there. He made
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: some very disparaging comments about his teammates. Say what you
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: want about Jerry Jones, but once you start, you know,
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: take a crap on your teammates, be gone with you.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: And there's some question as to whether he's going to
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: play this week anyway because he's hurt. So there, there
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: you go, all right, So we'll get we can talk
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: about it a little bit later on.
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: Ben.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: I know you're on a limited schedule, so I'm gonna
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: let I'm gonna talk to you a little bit and
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: then then we'll talk to Jerry.
• 5:57
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: The last couple of days has been a lot of
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: talking the show about the town Center and about sports complex,
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: you know, and it's just one of the one of
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: the things we talk about a lot. What can you
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: tell us right now about the sports center? Are we
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: still on this on this pause right now?
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah? You know, And as I've said, we are cautiously optimistic.
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: You know, we were you give an ear mark last year,
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: and unfortunately the budget didn't pass in Congress and we
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: didn't get our ear mark. That's not the fault of
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: Senator Capito, That's certainly not the fault of Senator Justice.
• 6:31
  Speaker 7: It's just the way that it played out. So we
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: have put in an additional earmark the city has and
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: also the county has, and if we get either one
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: of those, I think it's full steam ahead. And so
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: that's why I say we're cautiously optimistic. You don't know
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: if you're going to get the ear mark or not.
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: I think it really depends on a lot of different things.
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: And then hopefully, if the ear marks are awarded, Congress
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: will be able to pass a budget and that money
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: will come through. I think that we have you know,
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: Senator Capital is on appropriation. Senator Justice knows words tourism
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: better than anyone, So I think they get it. I
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: think they understand the concept. I certainly think that they've
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: they have the ability to bring in a lot of money,
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: but it has been very tenuous over the last you know,
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: eight to twelve months about budgeting and those types of things.
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: So I'm gonna sit back and watch and wait and
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: hope is what I'm doing at the moment.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: Sorry, I turned my microphone off there and we had
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: Matt Sutton, the chief of staff for the Goodwin administration,
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: been on the show a couple of days Agoiner and
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: the City of Charleston. I'm sure you and the commission
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: will somehow probably be a part of that as well,
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: because I mean, when you start talking about this proposed
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: Capital Sports Complex, Commissioner, the town Center and what is
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: the future of the town Center is a major component
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: of that.
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: It absolutely is. I mean you're talking about twenty acres
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: give or take in downtown Charleston, and so you've got
• 7:59
  Speaker 7: the town Center that ocut because that it's mostly vacant.
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: We certainly did not anticipate it going this way when
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: the Whole Group took over. But I know that there's
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: discussions between Whole and the city, and we're encouraging that
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: hopefully they can reach some agreement on the future of
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: the town Center. I said from day one. You know,
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: it's been three years ago since we announced this. I
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: said from day one, the sports complex was never designed
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: to save the Charleston Town Center. It would take a
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: lot more than a sports complex. I think you've got
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: different you know, buying habits have changed. You've got Amazon,
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: you know that came in. You've got people now going
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: out quarter G. There's no if we had a Walmart
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: or a Target or Low's or something like that downtown
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: in the sports or in the town center, I think
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: that would be different. People would come down and then
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: we'd visit the other stores, visit the restaurants. That's not
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: the way this worked out. So you know, they've got
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: some big issues to deal with. But we've got the
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: right people in place, and I know that that mayor
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: good one is she thinks about this every single day,
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: I promise you, and so does Matt Sutton and her
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: entire team.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: All Right, before we let you go, did you guys
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: actually have you and mister Page here, who's in the
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: studio of me, have some sort of a bet about
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: this Eagles Cowboys game to night Commissioner.
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: My recollection, Dave was that we had a bet about
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: his alma mater, Saint Albans, and my alma mater, Shady
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: Spring Tigers in their high school football premiere last week,
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: and mister Page could probably the Vice mayor Page could
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: remind everyone what happened in that game.
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that is that is correct.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: Well, I will honor that wager.
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: There was, you know, it.
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: An opening game little Russ for Saint Albans, and you know,
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: somehow we let Shady Spring win that game. But you
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: know so, so I will gladly uh uh one hundred
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: parcentt affirm that is true now. But you know, we
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: Saint Almas had a lot of things on her mind,
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: got the Battle of the Bridge tomorrow night, so kind
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: of overlooked the Shady Spring a little bit. But I
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: will honor that bet. But as far as this evening goes,
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: there's been no official okay wager, Yeah, there was a
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: talk about that.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: All right, Well let's just do it.
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: So the Eagles are favored by eight and a half
• 10:19
  Speaker 7: and the over unders forty seven and a half. So
• 10:24
  Speaker 7: you give me Dallas and ten points.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: How about that, I'll give you that. We'll tell I'll
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: give you all right, we got it. We got this.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: Maybe the first time that a vice mayor and a
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: county commissioner I've ever placed a bet on television, on radio,
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: one of my on radio. But by by the way,
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: this is fun. There's nothing actually going on here, so
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: I just it's just a fun little bet. Hey, Commissioner,
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: I know you got to go. I appreciate you. Stake time,
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: Mandy your schedule talk soon, man, Thanks a lot.
• 10:47
  Speaker 7: Hey, thanks, don't see yea.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: All right, Jared, I want to talk about some things
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: going on in Saint Albans. Saw a news report that
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: you guys are establishing a PODA out there, much similar
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: to Charleston and some other areas. Talk about that and
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: explain that.
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: Yes, sir, so this past it's been a couple of
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: Saturdays ago we had our first PODA event. This was
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: something that when I got elected, I wanted to bring
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: to Saint Omas. We've seen the success that places like
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: Charleston Huntington has had with our PODA and our first.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: Explain for those that don't know. I mean it's a
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: it's a it's a it's an outdoor designated area. Explain
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: that what PODA is for those that may not.
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: Know, Yes, this public outdoor designated area. Essentially, you have
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: it's a parameter area that's marked by signs and the
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: participating businesses that sell the alcohol or adult beverages. You
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: have a cup that is specifically will say PODA cup
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: and you could purchase that at those businesses and then
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: you'll go in to those businesses to to purchase your
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: drink or whatever. The hope that we we had that
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: we saw this past week was that when people would
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: go in to purchase those cups, they would also purchase
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: different items. Uh you know for example, co River Coffee,
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: they want to purchase pastries or shuckers if they want
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: to purchase shrimper, little appetizer, crab stuff, mushrooms, yes my
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: favorite there. I don't do seafood. Love shuckers go there frequently,
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: but I can't do the seafood. But whatever they want
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: to purchase, that they would also purchase that and it
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: would help our businesses out. We saw that from just
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: about every business that participated. And also it's a little
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: different than our some of our past festivals which are
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: under the multi vendor which is on the street. You
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: can't take the cup inside. There's also businesses that may
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: not sell alcohol but welcome you to come into their
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: to their business. And we had three of our first
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: event that were allowing people with the cups to come
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: in so you know, they could purchase other materials or
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: you know, one of them was a little bit of
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: having cupcakes, so you go in there and purchase a
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: cupcake or pastry on top of of you know, they
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: don't sell the alcohol, but there you know, they had
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: West Virginia themed cupcakes. So we it's an economic development
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: tool that I really worked well with the city of
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: Charleston and establishing our PODA and I have heard nothing
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: but good things from Charleston.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: So when I and there's been zero issues in Charleston
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: because a lot of the and this has happened in
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: other towns here people have been concerned about you know,
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: you're gonna have all kinds of problems and things that
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: there have been zero issues that I'm aware of in Charleston.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: The other cities that have done this around there's there's
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: no there's no issues.
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: There's been no issues. We had zero issues in Saint
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: Albans I've actually studied this for multiple years, going back
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: to Dora in Ohio. Ohio now was the first area
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: to do this. There's been no no issues at all.
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: I mean, you may have a little issue here and there,
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: but and again, this is something not I've heard a
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: few comments on social media.
• 13:59
  Speaker 9: This is not a.
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: Way to promote alcohol or promote drinking. This is an
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: economic development driver to where our businesses are going to succeed.
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: They're going to sell more items, and it's a way
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: for individuals to come to our community see what we
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: have to offer that may not have been to our
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: community before. I ran into several this past week the
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: other weekend that had never been to Saint O's beloved it,
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: enjoyed it and plans on coming back because they had
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: never been into Shuckers to tap all the cafe Cowriver
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: Coffee and they really liked it, enjoyed it, and they
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: want to come back. So that's what we want to do.
• 14:38

  Speaker 4: Page in here. Kay Summers is here. How you doing, Mayor?
• 19:44
  Speaker 11: I'm doing well? Thank you for having us. We really

  Speaker 4: And also Carrie Sloan Myer is here too. How are you.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: I'm good, Thank thank you for having us.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: Thank you both for being here. So either one of
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: you it's been let me before we get to this
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: big event. You've had a lot of stuff going on
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: here in Clinton and here lately, Mayor talk about it.
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: We really have.
• 20:00
  Speaker 11: But the most important I think, thing that's happened. There's
• 20:03
  Speaker 11: a lot of important things that have happened, but we
• 20:06
  Speaker 11: got a grocery store after nine years. But you know,
• 20:10
  Speaker 11: I want, David, I want to tell you about that
• 20:12
  Speaker 11: because you have a little hand in being responsible, just
• 20:16
  Speaker 11: a little bit, all right. We my husband and I
• 20:18
  Speaker 11: were at Danny Jones's root place here on Choyer Street
• 20:21
  Speaker 11: one day and all you guys were there, Tim Morris
• 20:24
  Speaker 11: and everybody, of course Glenn knew all of you. And
• 20:27
  Speaker 11: I was complaining I didn't have a grocery store, I
• 20:30
  Speaker 11: think to you. And there was a gentleman with you
• 20:33
  Speaker 11: guys who does all the house and work, all the
• 20:37
  Speaker 11: mechanical and engineering things, and he was there and you
• 20:41
  Speaker 11: introduced me to him, and I said, we need a
• 20:44
  Speaker 11: grocery store in Clinton. And that was about six years
• 20:47
  Speaker 11: ago and we've got it.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: So I had no idea that I am responsible for that.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: So can I have a section of the store named
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: after me? Now you cannot like like the potato chip
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: section or something like that.
• 20:58
  Speaker 12: This is maybe the potato wadget. They're really good, really tasty.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: What's the response been to this.
• 21:05
  Speaker 11: It's been fantastic. And we had a road cutting this
• 21:09
  Speaker 11: past week on Wednesday, and the people it was all
• 21:14
  Speaker 11: the people came from corporate office. But the nice thing
• 21:17
  Speaker 11: about this company your employee owned, and so therefore all
• 21:21
  Speaker 11: the employees and the president and all the management team
• 21:25
  Speaker 11: came and it was fantastic. And every day the parking
• 21:28
  Speaker 11: loss full because you know, it's been so long. And
• 21:31
  Speaker 11: one thing idea I want to say, we did have
• 21:35
  Speaker 11: a save a lot up outside the town limits. And
• 21:38
  Speaker 11: what people don't understand that doesn't benefit Clinton. We for
• 21:43
  Speaker 11: economic growth, economically, we have to have the business in
• 21:46
  Speaker 11: the town limits. And now it is and it's a
• 21:49
  Speaker 11: lot bigger, a lot bigger selection and every and it's
• 21:52
  Speaker 11: pretty and it's clean and it's nice and we're thrilled.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: Talk about it. But before we move on, just talk
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: about how important it is to have have that store
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: in Clinton and Mayor.
• 22:01
  Speaker 11: Well for so many years. For nine years, we haven't
• 22:04
  Speaker 11: had that.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: Since the flood.
• 22:07
  Speaker 11: Since the flood, we haven't had that revenue coming in
• 22:10
  Speaker 11: and that really hurts a lot. So that revenue is
• 22:13
  Speaker 11: going to make up and help us. And like I
• 22:15
  Speaker 11: say that, this store also feeds like the three counties
• 22:19
  Speaker 11: can all clay Rome and before the flood it was
• 22:24
  Speaker 11: one of their top revenue stores. So this is really
• 22:28
  Speaker 11: really important to us. And I appreciate every car on
• 22:31
  Speaker 11: the parking lot.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: And people, again, you can't stress enough the importance.
• 22:35
  Speaker 11: Of their top revenue stores. So this is really really
• 22:38
  Speaker 11: important to us. And I appreciate every car on the
• 22:42
  Speaker 11: parking lot.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: And people, again, you can't stress enough the importance of
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: having it inside city limits.
• 22:48
  Speaker 11: That's so we can have all the things that we
• 22:49
  Speaker 11: need to have to operate the down.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: Which means that you can do the things you got
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: to do. But it also means you have time and
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: some funds for some fun things too, which is what
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: we're here to talk about. So tell us about Carrie,
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: and start with you. Tell us about this great event
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: going on Saturday.
• 23:04
  Speaker 12: Well, this is our fifth year of chilling on the
• 23:06
  Speaker 12: Elk and we feature a chili cook off, ICs and
• 23:10
  Speaker 12: non ICs competitions. That's actually our biggest draw is the
• 23:14
  Speaker 12: chili cook off. People love it, the cooks love it.
• 23:18
  Speaker 12: They usually go home with no chili at the end
• 23:20
  Speaker 12: of it. We do have a craft beer and wine festival.
• 23:25
  Speaker 12: It features a lot of West Virginia wines, local breweries.
• 23:30
  Speaker 12: There are a couple from Kentucky that are coming in
• 23:33
  Speaker 12: this year. And then we have live entertainment. We've got
• 23:37
  Speaker 12: four bands lined up for the day. We have a
• 23:40
  Speaker 12: complimentary kids area, and arts and crafts vendors will be
• 23:44
  Speaker 12: lined up on the streets selling their homemade goods.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: And that's all. This happens right in the heart of Clinton.
• 23:49
  Speaker 12: Right on Main Street and Elk Avenue, right in front
• 23:51
  Speaker 12: of the Doctor Harper stage.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: That was what finished four years ago.
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, four years And here's the thing about it, for
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: those that may not have been familiiliar with Clinton, and
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: I spent a lot of time there in a previous job.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: And if you went back, of course, the flood was
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: in twenty sixteen. I mean, if you went back in
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, you would have never thought something
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: like that. I mean folks were there were trying, Don't
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: get me wrong. I mean they were trying. But to
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: see how far this city has come since that time
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: is truly amazing, and I think it has something. I
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: think it really speaks to the hard work, determination, so
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: on and so forth of the people of Clintenna, led
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: by the mayor. Of course, carry's the one that pointed
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: at you, by the way it is.
• 24:38
  Speaker 12: You know, I'm a lifelong resident of Clinton, and I
• 24:40
  Speaker 12: grew up just outside of the town limits and spent
• 24:44
  Speaker 12: many many years going to festivals and going to Dalton's
• 24:50
  Speaker 12: and the Dairy Queen and you know, being in downtown.
• 24:54
  Speaker 12: And for a very long time the town had become.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Stagnant, and even a little bit before the flood.
• 25:02
  Speaker 12: Really and you know, since Kay and the new I'm sorry,
• 25:07
  Speaker 12: Mayor Summers and the new I've known her since I
• 25:10
  Speaker 12: was a little girl.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: She's still so she's still okay, you know.
• 25:15
  Speaker 12: And the town council they've done a lot to make
• 25:20
  Speaker 12: Clinton an appealing and try to bring back what it
• 25:24
  Speaker 12: once was. And that takes hard work and it takes time,
• 25:29
  Speaker 12: and it doesn't happen overnight.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: The speak event's going to be happening on Saturday. Do
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: want to remind you that the Dave Allen Show on

• 26:55
  Speaker 11: The basketball team, Herbert Hoover High School basketball team has
• 26:59
  Speaker 11: entered this year. I think the fire department uh is

  Speaker 4: Awesome.
• 27:26
  Speaker 12: We I secure a sponsor for that and then all
• 27:30
  Speaker 12: of the proceeds all goes to them. We also encourage
• 27:34
  Speaker 12: the Hoover groups to come up and set up and
• 27:37
  Speaker 12: show their products, display what they do, or sell something
• 27:40

• 27:43
  Speaker 11: Their athletic director Richard Parsons does a fantastic job with that,
• 27:48
  Speaker 11: he really is. But we the town of Clinton, we
• 27:51
  Speaker 11: are part of Hoover. A lot of our children go there,
• 27:53
  Speaker 11: as you know, and we are big supporters. We try
• 27:56
  Speaker 11: to support them in every event and then they enter
• 28:00
  Speaker 11: and come to our town too.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: Well a big part of it. But you know, the
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: thing about it is when you have these events like this,
• 28:07

• 28:09
  Speaker 4: people from around the surrounded areas Charleston, South Charleston, Saint Albans,
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: wherever into your town to see what you've got going.

• 29:11
  Speaker 4: so many sponsors. I don't want to get into because
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: I'll leave someone out accidentally. But you can't do it
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: without the support of the community, and not just after
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: people in Clinton and the people outside Clinton, because you
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: look at the sponsor that there's people that that aren't
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: in Clindon.
• 29:24
  Speaker 12: A majority of my sponsors come from outside of Clinton,
• 29:28
  Speaker 12: and they come from Charleston and even I've got a
• 29:30
  Speaker 12: few that are larger than that. You know, you can
• 29:33
  Speaker 12: see there's a few corporations. I do have a few
• 29:37
  Speaker 12: of my local companies that support me every year, and
• 29:42
  Speaker 12: I can't thank them enough for their sponsorships every year
• 29:45
  Speaker 12: because without it, I couldn't put this event.
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: And the weather folks say that we're going to have
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: some rain, maybe late Friday night, overnights, but by by
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon. As of right now, it's actually
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: looking pretty good.
• 30:00
  Speaker 12: I know Brandon Stover would not promise me great weather,
• 30:04
  Speaker 12: but he did say that it looks like it's going
• 30:07
  Speaker 12: to be a nice fall afternoon.
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and that goes perfectly with the chili, right it does.
• 30:13
  Speaker 11: Hey, Dave, I'd like to say one thing which he
• 30:15
  Speaker 11: talks about the sponsors. This is what people don't understand either.
• 30:19

• 30:22
  Speaker 11: to do see our lawyers, see our doctors, go to

• 30:29
  Speaker 11: money people have, we come to Charleston, we spend it.

• 35:48
  Speaker 13: a publisher and all of that. So most of the

  Speaker 13: human communication I've had with with my garden club kids

  Speaker 4: I think this is my eleventh book, Okay, and that's
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: what we're here to talk about, birl. So here to
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: talk about some of your appearances that you get one.
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: So tell us about this new book though.
• 36:56
  Speaker 13: Well, it's a fantasy in the style of magical realism
• 37:02
  Speaker 13: and magical really. I mean it was inspired by one
• 37:04
  Speaker 13: hundred Years of Solitude, Marquees's wonderful classic in nineteen sixty
• 37:08
  Speaker 13: seven in South America. It's but instead of one hundred years,
• 37:14
  Speaker 13: it's it's a week a week in this fictitious village
• 37:20
  Speaker 13: of rural West Virginia, notis which is Sutton backwards. So
• 37:26
  Speaker 13: buddy again, know most of my work has been inspired
• 37:28
  Speaker 13: by Mingo and Logan County, our home places. But now
• 37:31
  Speaker 13: we've moved to Braxton County, moving on up. Yeah, so
• 37:34
  Speaker 13: it's at Airdice Park if you know my movie, and
• 37:37
  Speaker 13: it's on Amazon Prime, but you know it's it's a
• 37:42
  Speaker 13: very collective, eccentric, down trodden village where the main characters
• 37:48
  Speaker 13: are of course heroes. By the end, it's a love
• 37:52
  Speaker 13: story and love story. One's a ghost story and one's
• 37:54
  Speaker 13: a fictitious with a mad scientist has built has just
• 37:58
  Speaker 13: built a super collider beneath the village, in the in
• 38:04
  Speaker 13: the circle, beneath the played out coal mines.
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: Okay, this mouthful, buddy, Where did this idea come from?
• 38:12
  Speaker 13: This came from my my my daughter, I think when
• 38:16
  Speaker 13: she was eight years old, Danielle who I won't say
• 38:20
  Speaker 13: how old she is now, but she's eight years old.
• 38:22
  Speaker 13: We're by our community pool there in spring Hill and
• 38:27
  Speaker 13: we're back in our lounge chairs and she looks up
• 38:30
  Speaker 13: at the sky and she said, look, God's pool. So
• 38:34
  Speaker 13: over the years it was gonna it was gonna be
• 38:36
  Speaker 13: a movie.
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you just kept that in your mind.
• 38:38
  Speaker 13: That kept it in my mind all that time. And
• 38:41
  Speaker 13: then I decided, uh that you know, I wrote the
• 38:44
  Speaker 13: treatment for for a movie around two thousand and one. Uh,
• 38:50
  Speaker 13: David Selby was going to play the main character of
• 38:53
  Speaker 13: Pedler and uh, you know, it just didn't work out
• 38:57
  Speaker 13: like as a as the movies do. So uh you know,
• 39:00
  Speaker 13: so I added the particle park because there's there's quantum physics.
• 39:05
  Speaker 13: Not that I'm a math genius. I mean actually failed
• 39:10
  Speaker 13: junior high algebra.
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: Ut you want to know something, So did I?
• 39:15
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: Man, I had to go to summer school.
• 39:16
  Speaker 9: It was so hard.
• 39:17
  Speaker 8: I had to repeat it.
• 39:19
  Speaker 13: I can't believe they moved me in. I had to
• 39:21
  Speaker 13: repeat it in the tenth grade.
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: Ninth grade algebra almost did me in. But I but
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: I went to summer school. And back in those days,
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: you had to pay to go, and the thing was
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: pay your fee, get your b That's what they told.
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: So what year did you go to swivit? Because you
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: know that was my first gig. I was at Southern
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: West Virginia Community and Technical College. Eighty eight would have
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: been my first year there.
• 39:42
  Speaker 11: I was.
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: I graduated high school in June and then starting classes
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: there in August. I was at Southern for two years
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: and transferred to Marshall. Yeah, I left in eighty one
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: and eighty two.
• 39:50
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I was, But I saw you at the Big
• 39:52
  Speaker 13: Wrestling Show and we met there there at the Fieldhouse.
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: That's that's another one of your passions. And this is wrestling.
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: And of course I spent thirty years in the business
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: myself and you and I have worked with you. You
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: and I crossed paths a couple of times. One one night,
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: I didn't think we were gonna get out of Boone
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: County alive. Crazy uh, And I will save that for
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: another time. But there was one particular night that I
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: was wondering if should I keep up this friendship with
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: Danny Boyd because I thought I was gonna get killed
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: that night in Boone County. But it was all in fun.
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: Sometimes people take I mean, look, the thing about wrestling
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: is sometimes people take it a little too seriously. And
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: that's what this had to do with you or portraying
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: a character and a couple of good old boys there
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: and we're with net Miners. Yeah, it was where were

  Speaker 4: in delivery pickup visit Hudsonspizza dot com. I'm not got
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: a couple of text here. Real quick text says Dave Yes,
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: to show you're one hundred percent correct. President Trump would
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: win the election again because he's making decisions that strengthened
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: the United States instead of destroying the country like Obama
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: and Biden did that. We were talking yesterday about the
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: West Virginia Pole on both of the shows yesterday and
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: about the popularly continued popularity of Donald Trump in West Virginia.
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: Tex says, can the Town Center be made a sister
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: facility of the Selango Sports Center? Well, I think they're
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: all going to go together. I don't know about the
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: name Silango Sports Center, but they did find out they
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: couldn't use the name Capital Sports Complex though, because that's
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: already taken by somebody. But I don't know whether this
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: thing happens. I don't know that it's going to be
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: called the Selango Sports Center. Question for Jared Page, And
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: sorry I did not see this when mister Page was here,
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: but I'm sure he's listening. Can you let us know
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: what the evil human fecal matter who slammed in innocent
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: kitten onto the floor I was killing it will actually
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the animal cruelty laws.
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: No slap on the wrist, no plea deals, no probation.
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: Enough is enough time for these people to be behind
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: bars for years. While mister Page really wouldn't have anything
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: to do with that, but I'll make sure he gets
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: the text, and I agree with you. One text says,
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: I know it's not the town Center's garage, but having
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: to pay to park is a large impediment to reviving
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: the town Center at any level, Tex says Dave. On
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: top of Danny Boyd's many other feats, during his tenure
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: as a professor at State, he was a mentor and
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: inspiration for many aspiring yellow Jackets in the creative arts.
• 47:28
  Speaker 7: Danny is.
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: Danny Boyd's want of a kind. And I've known him
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: for a number of years, and he and I could
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: sit here and talk about places we've been stuff. He's
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: a great guy, and no quit at him. He says
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: he's going to turn sixty nine here in a couple
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: of weeks and he's going to retire. I will believe
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: that when I see it, all right, But he does
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: have a new book out, so you know, I wish him,
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: wish him the best of luck with that. Going up
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: on tomorrow's show, Chris Lawrence and Tom Bragg will be
• 47:54

• 48:28
  Speaker 4: of eating contest here in the Kenawal Valley. He's going

  Speaker 4: to join me on the show to talk about it tomorrow.
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: That's on the local show later today Metro News, Midday
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: thirteen News and Tonight Live anchor Amanda Baron and me.
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: You know, my tag team partner, Amanda Baron is all
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: jacked up about our alma mater, Ohio University taking on
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: the Mountaineers on Saturday. In Athens today, the color commentator
• 48:48
  Speaker 4: for OU, Rob Cornelius, will join us. Now he's not
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: only a witty political pundit, he's also a sportscaster color
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: commentator for the Bobcats. We'll talk to him. Also, we
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: told you a couple of weeks ago about an event
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: that was here in Charleston at the Woman's Club. It
• 49:02
  Speaker 4: was organized by a group of Democrats. I think the
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: Canaal Women's Democratic Group may have been involved with it
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: as well. Anyway, it was a town hall of sorts
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: and we had a couple of folks who helped put
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: that together on the local show a couple of weeks ago,
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: Bob Pepper and Patty Hamilton. They're going to come on
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: the show a sanmaertnoon to talk about how it went.
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: And they look, I'll say this, they had a great crowd,
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: great crowd for the event. So we're going to talk
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: to those organizers about that. Also, there's a pie Board
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: meeting today. Brad McIlhenny is covering that and if his
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: schedule allows, he's going to join us during the two
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: o'clock hour. Don't know whether he will be, whether it
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: be done or not. If he is, he'll join us
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: during the two o'clock hour for an update, and also
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: the latest edition of The West Virginia Pole is due
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: to be released. Normally hits the website about ten o'clock
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: or so. So one of the things that they're covering
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: on today's edition is how West Virginia feels about social media.
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: So we will talk about that with Brad again if
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: his schedule allow. And of course Open Line West Virginia
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: is coming up as well. Metro News Midday with thirteen
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: News and Tonight Live anchor Amanda Baron and me Dave
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: Island powered by Selangio Law. We'll see at noon today.
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: Tex says no one even mentioned Trump anytime during the show.
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: Why you Trump lovers got a wedge? Trump in any
• 50:19
  Speaker 4: time is deranged. It's Trump derangement syndrome. Sounds the tanks.
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: But the Dave Island Show on five eighty Live is
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: brought to you in part by Morgan and Morgan with
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: more than twenty billion dollars recovered. They believe that when
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: you're injured, you deserve more. Morgaanid Morgan, America's largest injury
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: law firm. In another text here text says what st
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: Albans is doing definitely promotes alcohol use. It's sad to
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: see society moving in this direction. Side effects will be
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: felt in the future, but who cares about the future. Apparently, Well,
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: when they do these PODA things, public outdoor designated areas,
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: not public outdoor drinking areas as many people think it's
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: designated areas. It's an economic boon for the for the businesses.
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: There have been in the city of Charleston, zero issues,
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: none whatsoever. They modeled this after Ohio that's had huge
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: success with it. So you know, until there's issues, I say,
• 51:16
  Speaker 4: go for it, and responsible people will do responsible things.
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: If you're not responsible, then maybe the maybe the event's
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: not for you, all right, TJ. Meadows always responsible. It's
• 51:25
  Speaker 4: what this man.
• 51:27
  Speaker 15: If someone's going to drink too much, if they're going
• 51:29
  Speaker 15: to get into a fight or do something as a
• 51:31
  Speaker 15: result of it, they'll do it indoors.
• 51:34
  Speaker 7: Today.
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: I mean, what's the difference. I mean, what's different? It
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: would be different if it was like these events and
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: these the communities if there were issues, but there have
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: been none, zero whatsoever, zero zilch. Not out because they
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: because it's heavily policed, and because they do it right
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: and look if if people don't want to have it,
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: if they want to drink a diet coke or water
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: and nothing, that's fine too. And it's not like everybody
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: that shows up is falling down drunk. Matter of fact,
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: you know nobody is. We got a bigger fish to fry,
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: indeed fish. Danny's a barbecue stand who doesn't serve fish,
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: but serves some killer barbecue. Opening up at eleven o'clock
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: this morning, going over, I don't know, probably be tomorrow.
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: I don't think I think I'm wanna make it over today.
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: But go see Danny, our good friend. What do you
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: got on the show?
• 52:15
  Speaker 7: Real quick?
• 52:16
  Speaker 15: So coming up ten oh six, we will talk about
• 52:18
  Speaker 15: the West Virginia poll. At eleven to thirty three, we'll
• 52:21
  Speaker 15: talk to a Mingo Keunty commissioner about those data center
• 52:24
  Speaker 15: projects that are being battered around, try to understand what
• 52:26
  Speaker 15: the community's concerns are. Eleven oh six, we'll talk vaccines.
• 52:30
  Speaker 15: They are good, they're not bad. We'll talk to medical
• 52:33
  Speaker 15: experts about why that is.
