Speaker 1 (00:02):
WTAW news time is five minutes after six at sixty
seven degrees.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Good morning and happy Friday.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
I'm Chelsea reberb A local businessman's idea of a public
private partnership for a fifty five to sixty million dollar
baseball complex behind the Costco store has interest of the
College Station City Council. No official direction was given at
last night's council meeting, but the managing partner of a
College Station based construction company could get an answer in
the next thirty days. Thomas Rogers wants the city to
(00:30):
spend fifteen to twenty million dollars and donate or lease
eighty acres of land.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I'm not asking you to give the barn away. I'm
asking you to help participate so that I can actually
go to a bank and leverage a note at a
much cheaper interest rate. To make this financially viable, we
would have some private equity, and we already have those
investors lined up.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
The baseball part of the project includes a thirty eight
hundred seat stadium and eight adjacent artificial turf fields. Rogers
also proposes a lodging component that he projects will rate
sixty thousand room nights a year.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Single family casitas for privacy and comfort, ten unit team
oriented sleeping units with shared communal spaces RV slips accommodate
budget conscious families, a common choice for summer tournament travel.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
The Council discussed, but did not resolve, how the public
private partnership would impact the ongoing design at Veterans Park
of a smaller baseball stadium in two adjacent fields. Repairs
at Brian City Parks was part of the monthly update
to the City Council of Capital and maintenance projects by
City Manager Keem Register.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
City staff is planning repairs at Bob Bond Park to
chain link fencing in multiple locations throughout the complex to
address immediate safety and security concerns.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Brian Park's employees also cleared leaves and debris from trails,
did high risk tree removal, and repaired park lighting systems.
All but six minutes of a Brian ISSD School Board
meeting on Monday night was held behind closed doors before
going into executive session. The board approved spending one hundred
and fifty six thousand dollars from the twenty twenty bond issue.
Board member Julie Harlan Wolf confirmed with construction Services Director
(02:02):
Bobby Griffin about replacing door knobs at four elementary schools.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
So you're talking about round knobs that are not eighty
eight compliant versus levers that part.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
The board spent ninety minutes in executive session discussing undisclosed
legal personnel and student matters. A Brian man convicted by
a Brass County District Court jury in July for assaulting
a jail officer was sentenced by the judge on Tuesday
to ten years in prison. Assistant District Attorney Jessica Escu
says they are trying to get twenty seven year old
Joseph Sweede transferred to a state prison as soon as
(02:35):
possible due to his behavior while in jail.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Now on October ninth of twenty twenty five, the defendant
has continued with his behavior, including setting fires in the jail,
threatening jail staff, harassing jail staff, threatening other inmates.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
According to online records, Swede has had twenty five court
cases in Brass County that includes three penning felony trials,
one for biding a Brian police officer, and two for
evading arrest. The head of the company that manages Easterwood
airport for the Texas A and M System does not
anticipate any disruption in activity during the federal shutdown. John
Clanton at Aston Aviation says air traffic controllers at Easterwood
(03:11):
are not federal employees. Their controllers work for a private
contractor who is not subject to furlough or downsizing that
is being seen in the overall federal workforce. The Texas
A and M System Board of Regents is holding another
special meeting on a Friday. This Afternoon's agenda calls for
action to finalize the hiring of the president of the
system's new university in Victoria and approved naming rights at
(03:33):
Tarleton State's basketball court that is part of a new
one hundred and thirty million dollars basketball and concert arena.
Someone is also buying naming rights at the men's basketball
coaching offices, where head coach Billy Gillespie was reinstated this week,
three days after the system started an investigation into an
anonymous person's undisclosed complaint against the former Texas A and
M head coach. WTAW news time is nine minutes after

There you go. So it's Friday, guys. How we doing? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Good god?
Speaker 7 (05:03):
Yeah, And this week is just flown by for me.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
It's been a uh yeah, it's been. It's been a
busy week, that's for sure, at least for me too.
So one of the things that I didn't because I've
done this radio thing for so long, one of the
things I never really had to do was get my
kids up and get them ready for school.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, you know, yeah either.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
Yeah, I can't confirm that's a that's a thing.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
Researchers involving twelve hundred parents with kids ages four to
seventeen reveals that families face ten ten conflicts a week
between parents and kids. Yeah okay, and the parents only
win half of them. So the things that the things
(05:51):
are Number one bedtime disputes. Now I can remember a
little bit of that messy room arguments. Oh yeah, getting
sleepy children out of.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
That's the one. I missed that one pretty much.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
Yes, get up, go, I don't know how were you
guys waking up? Oh?
Speaker 7 (06:07):
Terrible I never had a problem getting up.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
As a child.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
You did it as a.
Speaker 7 (06:11):
Child even, Yeah, And part of that was because my
father would just come in the room and flip on
the lights. Yeah, oh yeah, you know, and so you know,
he was he was really big about getting up and
getting going the second that you were supposed to be.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I mean, my dad would come in and flip on
the lights, and then he'd have to come back ten
minutes later and take off the covers, and then he'd
have to come in five minutes later and say feet.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
On the ground. Now you were one of those, oh yeah, yeah,
I was.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
The wife is definitely one of those. She can be
in a coma and just I mean, you can have
a hard time waking her up. My oldest daughter is
that way. My youngest was really good about getting up
and getting out of bed. But now that she's seventeen, boys, yeah,
it just takes a little bit little effort.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Well, you know, I guess there probably was a time.
I don't necessarily remember that so much, but my dad
would get up early in the morning because he had
to go to work early, and so the house kind
just got started. But gotcha, you know. But again, like
anything else, yes, probably when I I probably slept in
more after I got out of the house, you know,
because you're a college student.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
And you oh, for sure. Yeah, things changed in college
a little bit. Had a semester where I had a
little trouble getting up and going to class.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
I did not yet. I didn't understand that eight o'clock class.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
What is that about?
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Why would you do anything that?
Speaker 7 (07:23):
It was cold, We didn't want to get out of bed,
we didn't have much eat in the house.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Also true, fifty three percent of these folks say that
morning chaos returns once school starts, in more than half
also calling that first term one of the hardest times
to manage getting the kids back into that routine. But
also there, I mean, there are other two things. That's
go to bed time too. And now with kids and
(07:46):
their devices, you know, at a certain age, do you
make them put their I mean, do they take if
they take their phone to bed, pretty good chance that
they're not going to go to sleep right away, right,
they've got something else that they have to do, because
that is so urgent.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
But there you are, Yeah, I mean, the worst thing
I could do is like stay up late reading Harry Potter.
You know, I mean I had a TV, I guess,
so you know I could do that. But you know,
there wasn't the distraction of a cell phone or a tablet, so.
Speaker 6 (08:12):
That would at least put you on that we have
today later on this morning. We're not going to do
it right now. We have today a study on the
cars that attract the most bird dropping both. Okay, I
don't know if it's a reason for trading it in,
but yes, we'll give you that special information.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Info.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
Of course, where you park it probably has.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Something to do.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
Under the tree.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
It's not Yes, it's shady, but not always the best
place exactly.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
And I can remember seeing something that you just people
just leave it this. I mean they just leave it.
They don't clean it up, but they just let the
bird droppings do what they do with you ruin your
pay jobs. It's six seventeen. It's the informaniacs.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
You need coffee, long come.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
Little kids eating coffee?
Speaker 7 (09:07):
Yeah, my oldest got on it. My grandfather gave me
coffee when I started about two or three years old.

sugar and a little coffee. Yeah.

The Brass County District Attorney's office is trying to get
a Brian man to prison as quickly as possible. This
is after a judge on Tuesday sentenced twenty seven year
old Joseph Swede to ten years for assaulting a detention
officer in March of last year.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
He is someone who has been a problem here in
Brass County for a number of years.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Assistant District Attorney Jessica Escue says since December of twenty
twenty two, when Swede was booked at the jail for
the eleventh time in ten years, he has constantly caused problem.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Setting fires, harassing jail staff, sexually harassing jail staff, threatening
jail staff, threatening other inmates, and being violent in the
Brass County Detention Center.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Swede faces three more felony trials, one for biting a
Brian police officer and two for evading arrest. The monthly
update to Bryan City Council members of capital and maintenance
projects by City Manager Keen Register included staff completing repairs
at city parks.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Including sand volleyball court maintenance, clearing of the leaves and
debris from trail systems, the Granite Trail improvement, internal park system,
trash collection services, high risk tree removals, light system repairs,
and the pressure washing of park pavilions.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Register also said at Bob Bond Park, city staff is
planning repairs to chainlink fencing to improve safety and security.
The College Station City Council last night indicated its interest
in a local businessman's offer to enter a public private
partnership to build a fifty five to sixty million dollar
baseball complex behind the Costco Store. A formal decision could
(18:51):
be made in the next thirty days on the plan
presented by Thomas Rogers, who is the managing partner of
a College Station based construction company. Rogers confirmed a Councilman
Bob Yancey the private investment that he has secured and
the cost to build a thirty eight hundred seat stadium
and eight adjacent artificial turf fields.
Speaker 9 (19:08):
How much capital do you have?
Speaker 7 (19:09):
You said, forty million dollars? Is that right, yes, sir?
Speaker 3 (19:12):
City participation fifteen million if there's no champ field, twenty
million if there is.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Rogers is also making the city is also asking the
city to donate or lease eighty acres of land in
addition to giving the fifteen to twenty million dollars, subject
to soil tests coming back to show.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
The complex can be built.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Rogers said he would complete construction by June of twenty
twenty seven. City Manager Brian Woods believe the soonest the
complex would open is the summer of twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Even if you told me we could get exactly where
everyone wanted this to be and we could get the
utilities and things going like I think it would be challenging.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
The thirty day window to consider the public private partnership
will also have a yet to be determined impact on
the design and possible construction of a smaller baseball stadium
and two fields at Veterans Park. No disrupt in activity
at Easterwood Airport has anticipated during the federal shutdown. That's
according to the head of the company that manages Easterwood
for the Texas A and M System, John Clanton at
(20:10):
Aston Aviation says, for many years, Easterwood has been the
beneficiary of the Federal Aviation Administration's Contract Tower program. Their
air traffic controllers work for a private contractor and not
the federal government. For the third consecutive Friday, there is
a special meeting of the Texas A and M System
Board of Regents, but unlike the last two weeks, this
afternoon's agenda does not include scheduled action involving the flagship campus,
(20:33):
though the agenda keeps the door open for action on
unidentified new and old business. Scheduled action includes finalizing the
hiring of the first president of the system's new campus
in Victoria, and approving naming rights at Tarleton State's new
basketball and multipurpose Arena, which seats eight thousand for basketball
and ten thousand for concerts. One of the naming rights
(20:54):
is for the men's basketball coaches offices, where head coach
Billy Gillespie was reinstated Earlier this week. The former Texas
A and M head coach was on administrative leave for
three days while the A and M system investigated an
undisclosed complaint from an anonymous person. Brian ISD school board
members this week approved one of the final expenditures from
the bond issue that voters approved five years ago. Bisd's
(21:16):
construction services director Bobby Griffin says they received three bids
after approaching one hundred and eighty potential vendors to replace
door knobs at four elementary schools.
Speaker 9 (21:26):
For the most part, it is literally changing out the
old round knobs and replacing them with ever set.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
The purchase of one hundred and fifty six thousand dollars
of door levers that comply with the American with Disabilities
Act was more than fourteen thousand dollars under the projected budget.
You're invited to plant wildflower seeds today at noon at
College Station's Richard Carter Park. The event, hosted by the
A and M Garden Club, will include Miss Rodeo Texas
and former Aggie Equestrian team member Rihanna Santos. Along with
(21:55):
spreading seeds, participants will also be given wildflower seeds to
take home to plant as a way to promote pollinating insects.

Speaker 6 (23:48):
The podcast acquired. I've talked about it before where they
drilled down. They spent an hour with that year. Yeah,
and it's fascinating.
Speaker 7 (23:54):
Yeah, incredible what he has put together from his brain.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
And apparently it's going to keep. That's that's the thing.
It's important, is they found a way to uh to
make it survive. They don't you know, the tickets. Well, anyway,
it's interesting. Glad they're coming, that's all. Hey, this is
a bad dude that's in the Brasses Valley jail.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Yeah, he doesn't sound very nice to be around.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yeah, he's causing a lot of issues and they're trying
to get him transferred and.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
He already and he has three three trials coming up
from Yea.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
So he has had twenty five court cases in Brass County.
That includes the three pending felony trials, one for biting
a police officer and then.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Two for evading arrest.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yeah, and he's only twenty seven, so he's gotten off
to a hot start.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (24:36):
Not a right future for that guy.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Yeah, yeah, that's that's for sure. And then I meant
to mention it after the first newscast. So they are
naming They're giving naming rights to the coaches offices.
Speaker 7 (24:49):
Yes, right, built a sign on any.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yeah, if you're willing to pay.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
I'm not sure who it is, but yes, the coaches offices.
And then I also just I think some naming rights
for the of the like.
Speaker 7 (24:59):
The court, yeah, the basketball arena court or something. I
just yeah, I thought that was unusual.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
I don't know what the benefit is. I mean, I
get it if it's the.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Court, you know though, I mean there's there's a room.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
And I'm only saying this because I know who it
is and I know and I've been in this room
multiple times at Davis Diamond.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
It's like the.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Video room, okay, and it's like you know, the so
and so video room Okay.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I mean they will literally.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Name anything if you are willing to put some money
towards you know, this this new arena and so, Yeah,
the coach's office is I give sure.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
I'm going to see if I can get my name
on a porta pot for tailgating this.
Speaker 6 (25:34):
There you go, that would work. A Texas woman startled
when she spots an object the size of a car
falling to earth.
Speaker 7 (25:42):
We found out what it was.
Speaker 9 (25:43):
Turns out that the huge chunk of metal that landed
on Anne Walter's neighbor's farm was a piece of scientific
equipment attached to a massive parachute adorned with NASA stickers.
A call to nine one one revealed that NASA had
alerted the authorities to be on the lookout for something
they'd lost track of, a large, unmanned high altitude research
(26:07):
balloon designed to conduct scientific experiments. Gary Baumgarten, Fox News.
Speaker 7 (26:13):
So they told the authorities, but the authorities didn't tell
everybody else.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
Yeah, well, and their figure. What are the chances? Now?
Speaker 2 (26:21):
What are the chances?
Speaker 7 (26:22):
Guess what they were?
Speaker 6 (26:25):
Okay, let me see the big prize. The Nobel Peace
Prize was given out this morning.
Speaker 10 (26:29):
Maria Karina Machado has been hailed by the Nobel Committee
as a key unifying figure in a political opposition that
was once deeply divided. She's been living at hiding for
the last year, but has stayed in Venezuela despite threats
against her life. Machado wanted to run for president against
Nicolas Maduro, but she was disqualified, seen as just one
(26:51):
example of widespread government repression. President Donald Trump was one
of hundreds of other nominees. The committee chairman dismissed the
quesquestion of whether the President's public low being for the
award made any difference.
Speaker 7 (27:05):
Folks.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Of course I did find this.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Speaking of the Nobel Prizes that have been given out
this week, this is pretty wild. One of the guys
that won the Nobel Prize in medicine, he's an Immian imunologist.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
His name is Fred Ramsdale.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Well, he he was so off the grid he didn't
even know about it. He had his phone on airplane
mode while hiking through Montana and only found out later
that he had won the Nobel Prize in Medicine, continuing
his streak as the chillist man Alive. Ramsdell told The
New York Times, the idea of winning never even crossed
my mind. Now that is so good, because you know
(27:40):
they're giving him out this week, and I think you
know if you've been nominated. But he just I was like,
I was just hiking in Montana, right, I mean, I
guess you don't have to like accept the call to
win the awards, so you'll figure it out eventually.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
Check well, Right of American History is going to be
auctioned off.
Speaker 8 (28:02):
Uhammad Ali's unsigned draft card heads to auction today. The
Vietnam era military draft card, which Ali was supposed to
sign in nineteen sixty seven but refused to do, is
estimated to sell for between three and five million dollars,
according to Christie's Auction House. Ali was convicted of draft evasion,
banned from boxing, and stripped of his heavyweight boxing title
(28:23):
for refusing induction into the US Army. Three years later,
Ali was allowed to resume boxing, and the US Supreme
Court overturned the conviction on an eight zero vote in
nineteen seventy one. The three time heavyweight champion died in
twenty sixteen at the age of seventy four after a
long battle with Parkinson's disease. Joe Morgan Fox.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Newsile, Wow, I didn't know that story.
Speaker 7 (28:45):
Yeah, that was a huge part of his story.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
In fact, the court was in Houston, where he had
to be. I mean, when he was stripped to his title. Yeah,
they were really tough on him, there's no doubt about that,
but obviously he rose from it. So food borne illnesses.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Ooh, can be right.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Yeah, a few things in this world are more miserable
than food poisoning. You know, you go out, you eat
some delicious food, maybe you eat some sketchy food, and
you know there's a risk. But here, you know, you
don't really know what's going to happen until later. Okay,
this is pretty cool science. So thanks to some scientists
at the University of Maryland, they might have just created
a vaccine that protects against Salmonella bacteria, which is obviously
(29:25):
one of the most common sources of food born illnesses
and could be potentially life threatening. So far, the researchers
have tested out their vaccine in human volunteers in a
phase one clinical trial. Not only did the vaccine appear
to be safe and well tolerated, it did seem to
create a robust immune response to target the bacteria. The
co author says these findings provide a strong foundation for
(29:48):
future studies. And this is again at the University of
Maryland School of Medicine.
Speaker 7 (29:54):
This is so cool.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
I can you imagine though, being the human volunteer, Like
not only not only are you being injected with something
that is like still in a very early kind of
clinical trial, but then you know that they're going to
have to test it, so they're gonna have to give
you something they.
Speaker 7 (30:10):
Just tested for the antibodies in there. And yeah, because
I had the same question, like who volunteers to get
food poison eight, I had it about twenty years ago,
and for three years I could not eat a chicken wing.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Oh that's what you got to Yeah.
Speaker 7 (30:23):
It was so so horrible.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Yeah, yeah, knock on what I've never I've never experienced
anything like that, Like I've gotten sick before, you know,
maybe like a little bit like more of like a
stomach bug.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Like I don't think I've ever had straight up food poison.
Speaker 7 (30:37):
I was so sick that I couldn't even watch TV.
Speaker 8 (30:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (30:39):
I just had to, you know, live in a quiet, cold,
dark space. Wow.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
So, speaking of food, former President George W. Bush's favorite
chef has now been deported.
Speaker 9 (30:52):
Oh oh, Sergio Garcia cooked for the President of the
United States, but was kicked out of the country after
a thirty six year old secret came out. It seems
Garcia across the border illegally. In nineteen eighty nine, Garcia's
food truck in Waco, Texas was so popular it even
attracted George W.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
Bush's palate.
Speaker 7 (31:13):
He was nabbed while.
Speaker 9 (31:14):
Loading his truck with food and was deported the very
next day. Gary Baumgarten, Fox News.
Speaker 6 (31:22):
That was in Waco. Wow, Yeah, that happened earlier, I
think everywhere six forty seven.
Speaker 7 (31:31):
Good morning and happy Friday. I'm will welch with your

at Kyle It's Aggie Football against the Florida Gators. Offensive
(32:21):
coordinator Colin Kleine says the next step for his team
is consistency.
Speaker 11 (32:26):
Yeah, I think consistency is the biggest thing that we're
striving for right now. I mean, when we're clicking, it's
watch out right, and then there's you know, we'll go
through a couple possessions where bad call here, bad decision here,
you know, bad decision here, a penalty here, or something
that you know, we just kind of kill ourselves on
some drives that that if we're able to sustain those,
(32:46):
you know, I think that's the next step for us.
Speaker 7 (32:49):
The Texas A and M baseball team concludes fall exhibition
action tonight with a twelve inning scrimmage against TCU starting

is coming off his best game of the season thus
far in his return to the Cowboys, but now he's
dealing with some illness that sidelined him and kept him
out of practice yesterday. The veteran pass rusher still has
(34:19):
some time to recover and potentially make the trip to
face the Panthers, but his status is currently to be determined.
Sad news from the world of college basketball. Sister Jean
Dolores Schmitt, the beloved longtime chaplain of the Loyola Chicago
men's basketball team who became a folk hero during its
Cinderella run to the Final four and twenty eighteen, died yesterday,
(34:40):
the school said. Sister Jean joined the staff at Loyola
Chicago in nineteen ninety one. Three years later, she became

Speaker 1 (00:08):
I'm Chelsea reberb A local businessman's idea of a public
private partnership for a fifty five to sixty million dollar
baseball complex behind the Costco store has interest of the
College Station City Council. No official direction was given at
last night's council meeting, but the managing partner of a
College Station based construction company could get an answer in
the next thirty days. Thomas Rogers wants the city to
(00:30):
spend fifteen to twenty million dollars and donate or lease
eighty acres of land.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I'm not asking you to give the barn away. I'm
asking you to help participate so that I can actually
go to a bank and leverage a note at a
much cheaper interest rate. To make this financially viable, we
would have some private equity, and we already have those
investors lined up.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
The baseball part of the project includes a thirty eight
hundred seat stadium and eight adjacent artificial turf fields. Rogers
also proposes a lodging component that he projects will rate
sixty thousand room nights a year.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Single family casitas for privacy and comfort, ten unit team
oriented sleeping units with shared communal spaces RV slips accommodate
budget conscious families, a common choice for summer tournament travel.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
The Council discussed, but did not resolve, how the public
private partnership would impact the ongoing design at Veterans Park
of a smaller baseball stadium in two adjacent fields. Repairs
at Brian City Parks was part of the monthly update
to the City Council of Capital and maintenance projects by
City Manager Keem Register.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
City staff is planning repairs at Bob Bond Park to
chain link fencing in multiple locations throughout the complex to
address immediate safety and security concerns.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Brian Park's employees also cleared leaves and debris from trails,
did high risk tree removal, and repaired park lighting systems.
All but six minutes of a Brian ISSD School Board
meeting on Monday night was held behind closed doors before
going into executive session. The board approved spending one hundred
and fifty six thousand dollars from the twenty twenty bond issue.
Board member Julie Harlan Wolf confirmed with construction Services Director
(02:02):
Bobby Griffin about replacing door knobs at four elementary schools.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
So you're talking about round knobs that are not eighty
eight compliant versus levers that part.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
The board spent ninety minutes in executive session discussing undisclosed
legal personnel and student matters. A Brian man convicted by
a Brass County District Court jury in July for assaulting
a jail officer was sentenced by the judge on Tuesday
to ten years in prison. Assistant District Attorney Jessica Escu
says they are trying to get twenty seven year old
Joseph Sweede transferred to a state prison as soon as
(02:35):
possible due to his behavior while in jail.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Now on October ninth of twenty twenty five, the defendant
has continued with his behavior, including setting fires in the jail,
threatening jail staff, harassing jail staff, threatening other inmates.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
According to online records, Swede has had twenty five court
cases in Brass County that includes three penning felony trials,
one for biding a Brian police officer, and two for
evading arrest. The head of the company that manages Easterwood
airport for the Texas A and M System does not
anticipate any disruption in activity during the federal shutdown. John
Clanton at Aston Aviation says air traffic controllers at Easterwood
(03:11):
are not federal employees. Their controllers work for a private
contractor who is not subject to furlough or downsizing that
is being seen in the overall federal workforce. The Texas
A and M System Board of Regents is holding another
special meeting on a Friday. This Afternoon's agenda calls for
action to finalize the hiring of the president of the
system's new university in Victoria and approved naming rights at
(03:33):
Tarleton State's basketball court that is part of a new
one hundred and thirty million dollars basketball and concert arena.
Someone is also buying naming rights at the men's basketball
coaching offices, where head coach Billy Gillespie was reinstated this week,
three days after the system started an investigation into an
anonymous person's undisclosed complaint against the former Texas A and
M head coach. WTAW news time is nine minutes after

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Good god?
Speaker 7 (05:03):
Yeah, And this week is just flown by for me.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
It's been a uh yeah, it's been. It's been a
busy week, that's for sure, at least for me too.
So one of the things that I didn't because I've
done this radio thing for so long, one of the
things I never really had to do was get my
kids up and get them ready for school.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, you know, yeah either.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
Yeah, I can't confirm that's a that's a thing.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
Researchers involving twelve hundred parents with kids ages four to
seventeen reveals that families face ten ten conflicts a week
between parents and kids. Yeah okay, and the parents only
win half of them. So the things that the things
(05:51):
are Number one bedtime disputes. Now I can remember a
little bit of that messy room arguments. Oh yeah, getting
sleepy children out of.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
That's the one. I missed that one pretty much.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
Yes, get up, go, I don't know how were you
guys waking up? Oh?
Speaker 7 (06:07):
Terrible I never had a problem getting up.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
As a child.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
You did it as a.
Speaker 7 (06:11):
Child even, Yeah, And part of that was because my
father would just come in the room and flip on
the lights. Yeah, oh yeah, you know, and so you know,
he was he was really big about getting up and
getting going the second that you were supposed to be.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I mean, my dad would come in and flip on
the lights, and then he'd have to come back ten
minutes later and take off the covers, and then he'd
have to come in five minutes later and say feet.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
On the ground. Now you were one of those, oh yeah, yeah,
I was.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
The wife is definitely one of those. She can be
in a coma and just I mean, you can have
a hard time waking her up. My oldest daughter is
that way. My youngest was really good about getting up
and getting out of bed. But now that she's seventeen, boys, yeah,
it just takes a little bit little effort.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Well, you know, I guess there probably was a time.
I don't necessarily remember that so much, but my dad
would get up early in the morning because he had
to go to work early, and so the house kind
just got started. But gotcha, you know. But again, like
anything else, yes, probably when I I probably slept in
more after I got out of the house, you know,
because you're a college student.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
And you oh, for sure. Yeah, things changed in college
a little bit. Had a semester where I had a
little trouble getting up and going to class.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
I did not yet. I didn't understand that eight o'clock class.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
What is that about?
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Why would you do anything that?
Speaker 7 (07:23):
It was cold, We didn't want to get out of bed,
we didn't have much eat in the house.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Also true, fifty three percent of these folks say that
morning chaos returns once school starts, in more than half
also calling that first term one of the hardest times
to manage getting the kids back into that routine. But
also there, I mean, there are other two things. That's
go to bed time too. And now with kids and
(07:46):
their devices, you know, at a certain age, do you
make them put their I mean, do they take if
they take their phone to bed, pretty good chance that
they're not going to go to sleep right away, right,
they've got something else that they have to do, because
that is so urgent.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
But there you are, Yeah, I mean, the worst thing
I could do is like stay up late reading Harry Potter.
You know, I mean I had a TV, I guess,
so you know I could do that. But you know,
there wasn't the distraction of a cell phone or a tablet, so.
Speaker 6 (08:12):
That would at least put you on that we have
today later on this morning. We're not going to do
it right now. We have today a study on the
cars that attract the most bird dropping both. Okay, I
don't know if it's a reason for trading it in,
but yes, we'll give you that special information.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Info.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
Of course, where you park it probably has.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Something to do.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
Under the tree.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
It's not Yes, it's shady, but not always the best
place exactly.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
And I can remember seeing something that you just people
just leave it this. I mean they just leave it.
They don't clean it up, but they just let the
bird droppings do what they do with you ruin your
pay jobs. It's six seventeen. It's the informaniacs.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
You need coffee, long come.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
Little kids eating coffee?
Speaker 7 (09:07):
Yeah, my oldest got on it. My grandfather gave me
coffee when I started about two or three years old.

The Brass County District Attorney's office is trying to get
a Brian man to prison as quickly as possible. This
is after a judge on Tuesday sentenced twenty seven year
old Joseph Swede to ten years for assaulting a detention
officer in March of last year.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
He is someone who has been a problem here in
Brass County for a number of years.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Assistant District Attorney Jessica Escue says since December of twenty
twenty two, when Swede was booked at the jail for
the eleventh time in ten years, he has constantly caused problem.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Setting fires, harassing jail staff, sexually harassing jail staff, threatening
jail staff, threatening other inmates, and being violent in the
Brass County Detention Center.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Swede faces three more felony trials, one for biting a
Brian police officer and two for evading arrest. The monthly
update to Bryan City Council members of capital and maintenance
projects by City Manager Keen Register included staff completing repairs
at city parks.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Including sand volleyball court maintenance, clearing of the leaves and
debris from trail systems, the Granite Trail improvement, internal park system,
trash collection services, high risk tree removals, light system repairs,
and the pressure washing of park pavilions.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Register also said at Bob Bond Park, city staff is
planning repairs to chainlink fencing to improve safety and security.
The College Station City Council last night indicated its interest
in a local businessman's offer to enter a public private
partnership to build a fifty five to sixty million dollar
baseball complex behind the Costco Store. A formal decision could
(18:51):
be made in the next thirty days on the plan
presented by Thomas Rogers, who is the managing partner of
a College Station based construction company. Rogers confirmed a Councilman
Bob Yancey the private investment that he has secured and
the cost to build a thirty eight hundred seat stadium
and eight adjacent artificial turf fields.
Speaker 9 (19:08):
How much capital do you have?
Speaker 7 (19:09):
You said, forty million dollars? Is that right, yes, sir?
Speaker 3 (19:12):
City participation fifteen million if there's no champ field, twenty
million if there is.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Rogers is also making the city is also asking the
city to donate or lease eighty acres of land in
addition to giving the fifteen to twenty million dollars, subject
to soil tests coming back to show.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
The complex can be built.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Rogers said he would complete construction by June of twenty
twenty seven. City Manager Brian Woods believe the soonest the
complex would open is the summer of twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Even if you told me we could get exactly where
everyone wanted this to be and we could get the
utilities and things going like I think it would be challenging.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
The thirty day window to consider the public private partnership
will also have a yet to be determined impact on
the design and possible construction of a smaller baseball stadium
and two fields at Veterans Park. No disrupt in activity
at Easterwood Airport has anticipated during the federal shutdown. That's
according to the head of the company that manages Easterwood
for the Texas A and M System, John Clanton at
(20:10):
Aston Aviation says, for many years, Easterwood has been the
beneficiary of the Federal Aviation Administration's Contract Tower program. Their
air traffic controllers work for a private contractor and not
the federal government. For the third consecutive Friday, there is
a special meeting of the Texas A and M System
Board of Regents, but unlike the last two weeks, this
afternoon's agenda does not include scheduled action involving the flagship campus,
(20:33):
though the agenda keeps the door open for action on
unidentified new and old business. Scheduled action includes finalizing the
hiring of the first president of the system's new campus
in Victoria, and approving naming rights at Tarleton State's new
basketball and multipurpose Arena, which seats eight thousand for basketball
and ten thousand for concerts. One of the naming rights
(20:54):
is for the men's basketball coaches offices, where head coach
Billy Gillespie was reinstated Earlier this week. The former Texas
A and M head coach was on administrative leave for
three days while the A and M system investigated an
undisclosed complaint from an anonymous person. Brian ISD school board
members this week approved one of the final expenditures from
the bond issue that voters approved five years ago. Bisd's
(21:16):
construction services director Bobby Griffin says they received three bids
after approaching one hundred and eighty potential vendors to replace
door knobs at four elementary schools.
Speaker 9 (21:26):
For the most part, it is literally changing out the
old round knobs and replacing them with ever set.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
The purchase of one hundred and fifty six thousand dollars
of door levers that comply with the American with Disabilities
Act was more than fourteen thousand dollars under the projected budget.
You're invited to plant wildflower seeds today at noon at
College Station's Richard Carter Park. The event, hosted by the
A and M Garden Club, will include Miss Rodeo Texas
and former Aggie Equestrian team member Rihanna Santos. Along with
(21:55):
spreading seeds, participants will also be given wildflower seeds to
take home to plant as a way to promote pollinating insects.

It's important, is they found a way to uh to

it's interesting. Glad they're coming, that's all. Hey, this is
a bad dude that's in the Brasses Valley jail.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Yeah, he doesn't sound very nice to be around.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yeah, he's causing a lot of issues and they're trying
to get him transferred and.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
He already and he has three three trials coming up
from Yea.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
So he has had twenty five court cases in Brass County.
That includes the three pending felony trials, one for biting
a police officer and then.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Two for evading arrest.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yeah, and he's only twenty seven, so he's gotten off
to a hot start.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (24:36):
Not a right future for that guy.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Yeah, yeah, that's that's for sure. And then I meant
to mention it after the first newscast. So they are
naming They're giving naming rights to the coaches offices.
Speaker 7 (24:49):
Yes, right, built a sign on any.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yeah, if you're willing to pay.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
I'm not sure who it is, but yes, the coaches offices.
And then I also just I think some naming rights
for the of the like.
Speaker 7 (24:59):
The court, yeah, the basketball arena court or something. I
just yeah, I thought that was unusual.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
I don't know what the benefit is. I mean, I
get it if it's the.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Court, you know though, I mean there's there's a room.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
And I'm only saying this because I know who it
is and I know and I've been in this room
multiple times at Davis Diamond.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
It's like the.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Video room, okay, and it's like you know, the so
and so video room Okay.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I mean they will literally.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Name anything if you are willing to put some money
towards you know, this this new arena and so, Yeah,
the coach's office is I give sure.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
I'm going to see if I can get my name
on a porta pot for tailgating this.
Speaker 6 (25:34):
There you go, that would work. A Texas woman startled
when she spots an object the size of a car
falling to earth.
Speaker 7 (25:42):
We found out what it was.
Speaker 9 (25:43):
Turns out that the huge chunk of metal that landed
on Anne Walter's neighbor's farm was a piece of scientific
equipment attached to a massive parachute adorned with NASA stickers.
A call to nine one one revealed that NASA had
alerted the authorities to be on the lookout for something
they'd lost track of, a large, unmanned high altitude research
(26:07):
balloon designed to conduct scientific experiments. Gary Baumgarten, Fox News.
Speaker 7 (26:13):
So they told the authorities, but the authorities didn't tell
everybody else.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
Yeah, well, and their figure. What are the chances? Now?
Speaker 2 (26:21):
What are the chances?
Speaker 7 (26:22):
Guess what they were?
Speaker 6 (26:25):
Okay, let me see the big prize. The Nobel Peace
Prize was given out this morning.
Speaker 10 (26:29):
Maria Karina Machado has been hailed by the Nobel Committee
as a key unifying figure in a political opposition that
was once deeply divided. She's been living at hiding for
the last year, but has stayed in Venezuela despite threats
against her life. Machado wanted to run for president against
Nicolas Maduro, but she was disqualified, seen as just one
(26:51):
example of widespread government repression. President Donald Trump was one
of hundreds of other nominees. The committee chairman dismissed the
quesquestion of whether the President's public low being for the
award made any difference.
Speaker 7 (27:05):
Folks.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Of course I did find this.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Speaking of the Nobel Prizes that have been given out
this week, this is pretty wild. One of the guys
that won the Nobel Prize in medicine, he's an Immian imunologist.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
His name is Fred Ramsdale.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Well, he he was so off the grid he didn't
even know about it. He had his phone on airplane
mode while hiking through Montana and only found out later
that he had won the Nobel Prize in Medicine, continuing
his streak as the chillist man Alive. Ramsdell told The
New York Times, the idea of winning never even crossed
my mind. Now that is so good, because you know
(27:40):
they're giving him out this week, and I think you
know if you've been nominated. But he just I was like,
I was just hiking in Montana, right, I mean, I
guess you don't have to like accept the call to
win the awards, so you'll figure it out eventually.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
Check well, Right of American History is going to be
auctioned off.
Speaker 8 (28:02):
Uhammad Ali's unsigned draft card heads to auction today. The
Vietnam era military draft card, which Ali was supposed to
sign in nineteen sixty seven but refused to do, is
estimated to sell for between three and five million dollars,
according to Christie's Auction House. Ali was convicted of draft evasion,
banned from boxing, and stripped of his heavyweight boxing title
(28:23):
for refusing induction into the US Army. Three years later,
Ali was allowed to resume boxing, and the US Supreme
Court overturned the conviction on an eight zero vote in
nineteen seventy one. The three time heavyweight champion died in
twenty sixteen at the age of seventy four after a
long battle with Parkinson's disease. Joe Morgan Fox.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Newsile, Wow, I didn't know that story.
Speaker 7 (28:45):
Yeah, that was a huge part of his story.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
In fact, the court was in Houston, where he had
to be. I mean, when he was stripped to his title. Yeah,
they were really tough on him, there's no doubt about that,
but obviously he rose from it. So food borne illnesses.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Ooh, can be right.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Yeah, a few things in this world are more miserable
than food poisoning. You know, you go out, you eat
some delicious food, maybe you eat some sketchy food, and
you know there's a risk. But here, you know, you
don't really know what's going to happen until later. Okay,
this is pretty cool science. So thanks to some scientists
at the University of Maryland, they might have just created
a vaccine that protects against Salmonella bacteria, which is obviously
(29:25):
one of the most common sources of food born illnesses
and could be potentially life threatening. So far, the researchers
have tested out their vaccine in human volunteers in a
phase one clinical trial. Not only did the vaccine appear
to be safe and well tolerated, it did seem to
create a robust immune response to target the bacteria. The
co author says these findings provide a strong foundation for
(29:48):
future studies. And this is again at the University of
Maryland School of Medicine.
Speaker 7 (29:54):
This is so cool.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
I can you imagine though, being the human volunteer, Like
not only not only are you being injected with something
that is like still in a very early kind of
clinical trial, but then you know that they're going to
have to test it, so they're gonna have to give
you something they.
Speaker 7 (30:10):
Just tested for the antibodies in there. And yeah, because
I had the same question, like who volunteers to get
food poison eight, I had it about twenty years ago,
and for three years I could not eat a chicken wing.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Oh that's what you got to Yeah.
Speaker 7 (30:23):
It was so so horrible.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Yeah, yeah, knock on what I've never I've never experienced
anything like that, Like I've gotten sick before, you know,
maybe like a little bit like more of like a
stomach bug.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Like I don't think I've ever had straight up food poison.
Speaker 7 (30:37):
I was so sick that I couldn't even watch TV.
Speaker 8 (30:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (30:39):
I just had to, you know, live in a quiet, cold,
dark space. Wow.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
So, speaking of food, former President George W. Bush's favorite
