News is presented by Gilmore Electric Express, voted best electrician
of the Brazos Valley for an electrical service. Don't settle
for less, called Gilmore Electric Express at nine seven nine
seven to seven light.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
I'm Chelsea reberb Our story this week about the Brazos
County Commission approving more authority to approve contracts without first
going to the elected body was not mandated by a
new state law.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Here's what Commissioner Fred Brown said during the September thirtieth
meeting about the request that came from the director of
the county's Purchasing Office.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Now, there's nothing we can do about it. It gives
me pause, the entire thing, just that it is state law.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Now, looking further into the request, there are no new
state laws. One section of the Texas Government Code that
was enacted in nineteen eighty seven and another amended in
twenty eleven gives the Commission the option of giving the
Purchasing Office director authority to, among other things, of contracts
of up to one hundred thousand dollars. Commissioners were assured
at the September thirtieth meeting that they will be informed
(01:06):
of future decisions. Bill Oliver sixteen, twenty ninety four to
five WTAW.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Brass County District Court's administrative judge is retiring. Eighty fifth
District Court Judge Kyle Hawthorne, who is not running for
reelection next year, said he wants to sneak out as
quietly as possible.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
My wife and family and I made the decision a
little while back, and then I told my staff first,
and then I told the other judges, and then I
just kind of left it at that where it spread
as it normally would in courthouse gossip.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Hawthorne was first elected in twenty fourteen and was re
elected in twenty eighteen and twenty twenty two.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
If I recall correctly, when I ran, I said, you know,
I think three terms is kind of a good quitting spot,
and so how I think it's a good time to
go let some new eyes get on it.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
The upcoming vacancy has drawn at least one announced candidate.
Assistant Brasis County District Attorney for a Bear leads the
juvenile in civil divisions. Next January is the goal to
implement a master plan for economic development efforts in College Station.
At the City Council's last meeting, a draft plan was
presented by an Austin based consulting company. Consultant Jennifer Todd
(02:15):
Goyn said, One focus area is titled Industry.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
How can we really expand the thriving, diverse foundation that
you already have of talent, businesses and industry to create
that diversify tech space and enhance economic opportunity.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Another is titled Innovation.
Speaker 6 (02:30):
Here we're looking at how can we create College Station
as a hub for technology driven entrepreneurship, research and development,
business formation and growth, and wrap around support.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Goin says the four focus areas are components of a
vision statement where College Station becomes a nation's most vibrant
university community, a place where businesses thrive, innovation is embraced,
and quality of life is unmatched, resulting in sustained prosperity
and economic competitiveness. The City of Brian currently has twenty
seven housing subdivisions in some form of development, amounting to
(03:02):
more than one thousand lots.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
We had a lot of questions when people are moving
into town, you know, or the new subdivision, how many
lots are available? And that's probably the largest number I think
that I've ever seen of available lots.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
That was part of City Manager Keen Register's last city
project update to council members before he retires next month. Well,
this week's Brian City Council meeting included no opposition to
the design of the future signature playground at Midtown Park.
The construction contract has yet to be awarded. That is
scheduled to take place during a special meeting next Tuesday.
That agenda item provides more information about the four point
(03:36):
two million dollar project. Among the one hundred and twenty
five components are fifty eight elevated play areas and three
shaded pavilions with picnic tables. Mayor Bobby Gettierrez responded to
questions of why the playground does not include splash pads
or other water features.
Speaker 8 (03:50):
One of the reasons they didn't want the splash pad,
and they said, is because they didn't want their kids
going out there getting all wet and then they get dirty,
and then they got to put them in the car
somewhere else.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
While there remains two hundred and seventy two thousand dollars
in the project budget, city staff will propose funding sources
to add restrooms and electrical service at the playground. The
Brawss Valley Veterans Memorial will dedicate its nineteenth memorial site
next Monday morning. The Brian City Council's representative on the
Memorial Board, James Edge, previewed the dedication of a statue
(04:21):
remembering the Kosovo War.
Speaker 9 (04:23):
There's a life sized bronze statue created by j Payne
Laura and it depicts a female combat pilot.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Monday Mornings program starts at nine. The featured speaker is
a retired Air Force combat pilot, Wendy Woodard, who now
works as a Texas a and and professor mentoring members of.
Speaker 2 (04:37):

Good Morning at seven ten at CMFL Maniac on a
Thursday morning. Glad you're with us. Let's do weather. It's
brought you this morning by Mallock. Be prepared for the
next power outage with Malick Service Company and whole home

Speaker 11 (05:08):
Today about ninety three or so.
Speaker 10 (05:09):
Low will be sixty five, probably about ninety one and
sixty one for Friday and then Saturday. They're telling us
sunny skies high temperature near ninety hit a low temperature
of sixty two.
Speaker 11 (05:19):
Got seventy right now. Area high school football kicks off
under the Thursday night lights tonight Allen Academy, Rudder console,
all on the road. Find out everything you need to
know about all Area high school football at brassfootball dot com.
We'll talk about that and more coming up in sports.
Speaker 10 (05:33):
Cause we talk in front of a microphone. People strangely
enough ask us to talk in front of microphone.
Speaker 11 (05:38):
Yes, they do time, and so we go on.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
We can get paid to do sometimes.
Speaker 10 (05:41):
I had to do that right, and then we just
go and have fun. Like last night.
Speaker 11 (05:45):
Huh, last night I got to call these sub varsity
JV games, the two of them at Consolidated. The first game.
The final score was eighty four to twelve. I mean
it was. It was absolutely nuts. And the crazy thing
about that is that there were two touchdowns called back
on penalties. So we were trying to figure out how
to if we were going to go get a piece
of paper and paint a one on it and put
(06:07):
it on the scoreboard. So I mean it was it
was bad said they played. They were playing Layman last
night in the first JB game, which is who Kinsaul
is playing tonight. The second JB game, which ended up
fourteen to six, was against the Montgomery Bears. I don'tlieve it.
Speaker 10 (06:23):
Where is Laman, I've never.
Speaker 11 (06:24):
Heard it's it's I think it's over in the Austint areas. Okay, yeah,
of course, well Hayes County.
Speaker 10 (06:30):
Gosh, okay, oh in Hayes County.
Speaker 11 (06:32):
Well yeah, that's all.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
That's it is interesting, Yeah, just because I think College
Station played Layman.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Last week, I believe, or the week before.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
But anyway, that was when I first heard of it,
and someone said like Austin area, and I was like, oh, yeah,
it's amazing.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
How many high schools I've never heard of?
Speaker 11 (06:46):
Oh that's and and they're popping.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Up leven exactly like big high schools, right, yeah, yeah,
it just you know, and yeah, yeah.
Speaker 11 (06:54):
Look I'm so old.
Speaker 10 (06:55):
I remember when there were Cyprus fairbanks and that was.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
The that was the only size school only on out there.
Speaker 11 (07:00):
Yeah, College Station beat Layman seventy to fourteen back on
the twenty sixth of September.
Speaker 10 (07:05):
Man, that's got to be that's got to be a
new school in there.
Speaker 11 (07:09):
Problems being in What is that five A or what
five eight? All right, So.
Speaker 10 (07:15):
They asked US Americans, what's your By the way, the
Jerry Jones thing is so funny? Does he just do
that when they win? Because if that's the case, it
won't happen very often.
Speaker 11 (07:23):
Well, there was some speculation. There was some speculation that
it was actually not the opposing teams fans that he
was issuing that gesture too, that there was some speculation
that there were some Cowboys fans shouting some things about
the departed defensive lineman that Jerry Jones had a hand in.
I was traded to the Green Bay Packers, but I
don't know. The video is inconclusive.
Speaker 10 (07:43):
Okay, well we know what he did and he just
Jerry B and Jerry. So they ask what is your
favorite sport? Probably not surprising, football was number one? Okay
forty eight percent?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Oh okay, so we're talking US America.
Speaker 11 (07:57):
Yeah, US America.
Speaker 10 (07:58):
Yeah, not around the world, because the world would probably
be soccer, I don't think any doubt. Yeah, anyhow, that
includes both NFL and college.
Speaker 11 (08:05):
What surprised me was number two, and that was baseball.
Speaker 10 (08:08):
Oh okay, I'm surprised that baseball is that popular.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Yeah. I thought it would have been basketball, right.
Speaker 10 (08:13):
For all the reasons. Well, and actually they're tied, if
you will. Oh, but what they did is they did
a love hate thing and more people hate basketball, which
is interesting. So I don't gotcha. Okay, then game ice hockey.
Speaker 11 (08:24):
Hockey is on the way up and baseball dropped for
a while in interest, but it may be coming back.
Speaker 10 (08:30):
I guess, Well, I guess, but you know now they're
going to have they're going to have automated automated umpires.
They're going to have the strike zone next year.
Speaker 11 (08:38):
They're going to try. I think that's a great thing.
But who are you going to yell at? Well, that's
the deal. They speculate that it's going to actually reduce
the number of ejections because over sixty percent of ejections
are over balls and strikes.
Speaker 10 (08:50):
Okay, all right, Well, I like ice hockey, I really do.
I enjoy watching it.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
But anyway, that hockey is hard to watch on TV.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
It is.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
It is very hard, so fast, and it's so you
miss the puck and if you have no idea what's
going on, you really have no idea what's going on.
Speaker 11 (09:05):
Well, and that's it.
Speaker 10 (09:06):
It took me going to a game to say, Wow,
this is really good. It's not TV doesn't care.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah, I agree, like I.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
You know, I went to my first Stars game just
a couple of years ago, and I was like, oh, wow, yeah,
this is this is awesome, this is incredible, It's so
much fun. But it's just now, you could say that
about a lot of sports, like I.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
I because I've been around the sport so much.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I feel like volleyball it's not hard to watch on TV,
but it doesn't translate as well on TV as it
does if you're in person.
Speaker 11 (09:31):
That's probably right.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I agree with that, But I think you could say
that about a lot of sports.
Speaker 11 (09:34):
Sure.
Speaker 10 (09:34):
The well, the thing I remember when I want to
say was NBC who tried it. They tried to put
a tracer on the Yeah. I was wondering about that
on the hockey puck, which was interesting, I mean, but
then you see this blue thing and that's fine, that
helps a little bit.
Speaker 11 (09:49):
But uh and I don't.
Speaker 10 (09:50):
You know, it does a matter of yeah, right whereether
you like it or don't. Then golf came in after
ice hockey. Soccer is twelve percent, and again this is
this is just in the US America. Then comes golf,
then auto racing, tennis m m A at eight percent,
and then finally wrestling. Okay, man, I cannot watch MMA.
I can't imagine. I doubt oh really with pop Yeah,
(10:11):
gosh is so violent.
Speaker 12 (10:13):
It is.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
It's very violent.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
But if you know what's going on, like and maybe
that's what it was, Like my brother watches all the time.
I have a friends that have actually gotten into it
and like even you know, they go to Brass Valley MMA,
and so if you know what's going on and what
you're looking for, it's a lot more entertaining than just
watching two people beat.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
The crap out.
Speaker 11 (10:36):
And there's real science to it, this technique. Yeah, okay,
all right.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yeah, obviously yeah, there are there are there.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
There are definitely more gruesome fights than others because when
the blood starts flowing, they let it flow.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (10:52):
Good morning, seven eighteen. The UNFILMAEDIAX on a Thursday, give
it away tickets to the Texas Renaissance Festival and Brice's
Valley Fair and Rodeo. Question is, what's your favorite potato chip?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yeah, let us know, text us with your first and
last name nine seven nine six nine five sixteen twenty.
A few of you just liked the good Old Lays
original aw yep, yep. Somebody else said, right, yes, I
love them all right now, though I'm hooked on the
h B lamone, which is like a lime flavor. Somebody
else said dill pickle and vinegar chins, which those are
(11:21):
becoming a thing. I'm seeing a lot more pickle pickle flavorship. Yep,
salt and vinegar, ruffles, sour cream and cheddar.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
That's a that's a throwback for sure.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
And somebody else said that their favorite is a full
can of pringles just sitting on muckouts.
Speaker 10 (11:35):
Oh wow, there you go. That's it all right. So
would it be really weird to finally dust off the
fine china that you got for whatever reason, your wedding
or something like that from years ago and have family
pizza night on it?
Speaker 11 (11:50):
Yes, Because here's the thing.
Speaker 10 (11:52):
New survey, fifty eight percent of people said that if
it were practical, they would use their special occasion items
every single day. But it's just not practical. So why
is it not practical? Well, I presume that, well a
lot of them have to be hand washed, gotcha.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Okay, And that's what I was kind of going on,
That's what I thought. I just was because I was like,
it's practical if you want to use it, use it.
But yes, if you're to if you have to hand
wash it every single time, you can't just throw it
in the dishwasher, then yes, it's not practical.
Speaker 11 (12:20):
All right.
Speaker 10 (12:20):
So I'm the old guy. So you know, we've got
so much stuff. Yeah, I mean just so much of
this old stuff. Jackie's dad lived with us for the
last years of his life. He brought his silver set.
I mean, we've got this cabinet full of this stuff
and none of our kids want it. Yeah, I mean
(12:41):
they don't want that stuff. Oh look, this is a
cut glass down.
Speaker 11 (12:45):
I don't care.
Speaker 10 (12:46):
Yeah, And so I mean I don't know what people
like my age or around by eh, you have fine
china or second generations of fine china? Yeah, what are
you going to.
Speaker 11 (12:55):
Do with it?
Speaker 8 (12:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (12:56):
I don't know. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
The idea of passing it down generation to generation has
really changed, because I, yeah, I just don't. I think,
you know, people my age, don't, your kid's age, like,
don't necessarily want that stuff. They don't see the need
for it. They'd have to store it somewhere. I think
I've got at least a couple of sets of china
that I'll choose from when I want to really wow, yeah,
(13:17):
well I think my grandmother has You.
Speaker 11 (13:20):
Don't care you don't have it with you though right now?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
No, no, no, no, I'm saying yes, yes, that I will be
able to call DIBs on once I want to.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Again, I don't. I don't live in a home. I don't.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I'm not married, so I don't really have I don't
do a lot of entertaining for in that way, I
would have nowhere to put it right now.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
And so well, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 11 (13:39):
We actually had to build a special cabinet. I think
we've got four sets of different chinas that have come
through both sides of our family, and silver and things
like that, and we never use them. They're displayed, some
of them are displayed, but the rest of them are
just stored. And I'm the same way Chelsea, I don't.
I didn't necessarily want this stuff. When we registered for
it for our wedding, I was like, we're never going
to use it.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
See, and you registered for something.
Speaker 11 (14:02):
That's the thing back then is you had to register
for the.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
China, right but like minding if I'm going to have
china coming from Grandma, Like I don't want to register
for my own.
Speaker 11 (14:11):
No, no, no, no no. It was that thing you
had to do.
Speaker 9 (14:14):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Sure.
Speaker 10 (14:15):
Seventy nine percent of homeowners say they have nice items
that are set aside for special occasions, including some intricate
pieces and you know, glassware and dishware. Sixty four percent
admit that they never touch those items. We got two
cabinets have glass fronts, you know, so you can see
this that we never use.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
At least you have glass front so at least it's
like kind of pretty to look at it.
Speaker 10 (14:37):
That's I don't know, that's right. And then and how
much dust gets in there? I mean, we never open
those cabinets and you get dusty. How is that that
the dust monster gets in there? Some people do get
some use out of their fancy dishes and glasses. The
most popular occasion people will bring them out is for
holiday gathering, so that's coming up.
Speaker 11 (14:57):
You might do that.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I was gonna say, I know, my mom has a
set of like silver silverware, like real you know, the
good stuff, and she'll bring that out for Thanksgiving and
Christmas dinner and things like that.
Speaker 10 (15:07):
Anniversaries or second followed by marriages, milestone birthdays, graduating, getting engaged,
having a child, having guests over, like for funerals, celebrating
new job promotions, whatever. That's when people bring the good
stuff out. But generally we don't.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
You know, we talk about trends and how things kind
of come back around. It will be interesting to see
if in the next i don't know, fifteen twenty years,
there's this kind of shift back to more formal dining situations.
But I just feel like right now people just don't care.
Speaker 11 (15:36):
Yeah, like that formal dining was what I grew up on.
My wife was completely different and it was completely informal
in her household.
Speaker 10 (15:44):
Yeah, it's that, And I guess that's the thing is
you and you you see, like if you go to
a banquet or something and the setting is very nice,
I mean that's a great thing, but that's a special
occasion type situation.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, yeah, but like you know, my family, like we
get together pretty often because we're all here in town,
and we'll, you know, we'll have a meal and we'll
sit in the dining room, but like, depending on what
it is, like, we still may have like paper plates
or you know, and like, you know, and my mom's
dining tables all set and she's got cute little napkins
and core, but then we're still eating all with like
(16:16):
plastic forks.
Speaker 11 (16:18):
Thursday morning.
Speaker 10 (16:19):
So graduation in dogs last.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Night, Yes, Dottie graduated from Puppy Love obedience training and
it was really cute. We actually and it was smart too.
They took their graduation pictures at the beginning off. Go
ahead and get those out of the way, which I
do not have yet. They will be uploaded to Facebook,
I think hopefully today or tomorrow, so I will definitely
share because it was.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Really really cute.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
But yes, she had her last training session last night.
It went very well. I mean again, shout out to
Puppy Love. We had an amazing experience. It truly was
just as much about me learning as it was about her.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
And so we.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
We still have a lot of work to do, but
we have all the tools now to to kind of
do that stuff at home.
Speaker 10 (17:04):
So were there any underachievers there?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Well, you know, I will say the class ended up
a little shorter or a little smaller.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Than it started. I even asked her, I said, so
do you typically you know? She goes, oh, yeah, every class,
is that right?
Speaker 11 (17:19):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Now, obviously there may be scheduling conflicts, although you know
when we meet, like it's on the calendar from the
beginning because it's the same day and the same time
every week. But yeah, there were. So we we started
with six, which is a full class, and last night
we only had four.
Speaker 11 (17:36):
Goodness. Yeah, there's there going to be some big graduation
party for Donald.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
You know, I hadn't planned a party, but we'll see
maybe are you know maybe there we go. Yeah, perfect,
But you know, it was interesting, Scott.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I thought of you because I know y'all used to
take Maggie to Low's, into Murdochs and all of these
other like you know, puppy friendly places, And that's what
she said with her dogs, like some it's just about
so there's a difference between like a training session and
then what she calls exposure sessions, and so like the
other day, she took one of her new puppies out
to Low's and actually I think I think they did
(18:11):
eventually go inside, but there there was like a picnic
table out kind of by the front.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
She goes.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
I just let her sit there and just watch and
just kind of take it yep, and just kind of
get used to people going in and out, think, you know,
lumber being sure, you know, like the noises, like, because
it's a pretty noisy place. She was And I did
have to go in eventually to get something that I
went to Low's for, but this was more of just
a a you know, getting her out in public, getting
her used to the sites and the sounds and things
(18:35):
like that.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
And that's something I need to do more of.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
I mean, Dottie's great at going places with me, but
it needs to be I need to be more consistent
with that. And actually just like getting her that way
every time she goes out, it becomes just more normal
for her as well.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
WTAW news time is seven thirty two. It is seventy degrees.
News is presented by American Momentum Bank, building Financial Success
one client at a time. Equahalsinglander member at DIC Good
Morning I'm Chelsea reberb. At their last business meeting, Brass
County commissioners voted to give the purchasing office more authority
over approving contracts, but that was not required by a
(19:17):
new state law.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Commissioner Fred Brown, who was part of the unanimous vote
giving the purchasing office authority to sign off on contracts
of up to one hundred thousand dollars, believe they were
mandated to give up control.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
When you talk about one hundred thousand dollars, that's a
lot of flexibility for staff that doesn't have to come
to us.
Speaker 11 (19:35):
This was caused by the legislature.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
A further check by WTAW News with county officials confirmed
there are no new state laws. The commission's vote reflected
a request from the director of the county's Purchasing Office,
who signed two sections of the Texas Government Code. Both sections,
one which was amended in twenty eleven and another that
was enacted in nineteen eighty seven, gives the commission the
(19:58):
option of allowing the director to authorize those contracts, among
other things. Bill Oliver sixteen, twenty ninety four to five WTAW.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Next year's local elections will include choosing a new District
Court Judge Kyle Hawthorne is not running for a fourth
term as eighty fifth district Judge.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
You got a deadline in November that you got to
say whether you are you aren't, and you know, probably
after the first of the year. I was looking at
the future, given my age and health and all of that,
and talking it over with family, and I just think
it's time.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Hawthorne says being judge has been the most enjoyable experience
of his nearly forty year legal career.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Obviously, though cliche is, I was honored at the people
of Brass County allowed me to do it, and I'm
happy with my decision, happy that I got the opportunity
to do this.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
There is at least one person who has announced their
candidacy for the upcoming vacancy. Jennifer Abear leads the Brass
County District Attorney's Office Civil and Juvenile Divisions. A woman
from Kerrville is in the county jail on charges of
breaking into seven work trucks that were parked in Wison
Valley and attempting to steal up to twenty thousand dollars
in copper wiring. Braso's County Sheriff's Deputy Rights and his
(21:10):
arrest report that multiple shoe prints next to a stack
of tools and spools of copper that were removed from
the trucks match the shoes of the forty two year
old woman who denied burglarizing the vehicles. The College Station
City Council's last meeting included a presentation from outside consultants
based in Austin who were hired to create a master
plan for economic development. One thing the council heard was
(21:32):
a vision statement.
Speaker 6 (21:33):
College Station will be the nation's most vibrant university community,
a place where businesses thrive, innovation is embraced, and quality
of life is unmatched, resulting in sustained prosperity and economic competitiveness.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Jennifer Todd Goyn said the vision statement will be accomplished
by achieving four focus areas.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
One is creating an identity, and.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
Here we're looking at how can we create those university
and community synergies to create dynamic districts and authentic places
that are good for resident US businesses, students and visitors,
and not every place has to serve every population.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Other focus areas are creating a diversified tax base, established
the city as an innofation hub and positioning the city
as an economic leader. The consultant's goal is to finalize
and implement the master plan next January. Next Monday Morning
is a dedication of the nineteenth Memorial site at the
Brasses Valley Veterans Memorial. A preview was given by Brian
(22:25):
Councilman James Edge, who represents the city on the memorial board.
Edge says the dedication is for a life size statue
of a female pilot in the Kosovo War, and the
featured speaker is a retired Air Force combat pilot who
also holds key leadership roles with the Air Force ROTC program.
Speaker 9 (22:41):
Wendy Woodard serves currently as a professor at Texas and University,
where she mentors young leaders in the core of Cadets.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Monday Mornings program starts at nine at the Memorial, which
is located at Veterans Park just inside the Harvey Road entrance.
The City of Brian has provided more details about the
playground that is coming to Midtown Park. The information comes
from the agenda of a special meeting of the City
Council next Tuesday, where official action will be taken on
awarding the four point two million dollar contract. This follows
(23:08):
a presentation of the park design at this week's council
meeting that received no council opposition. Mayor Bobby Gettierre said
splash pads or other water features are not included because
that would result in children leaving and wearing wet clothes,
and it.
Speaker 11 (23:21):
Makes perfect sense.
Speaker 8 (23:22):
If you're traveling with the big group and a bunch
of kids, you you don't want to have to if
you're out of town, change your kids three or four
times a day.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
The playground calls for one hundred and twenty five different
play components, including fifty elevated play areas that are accessible
by ramp and seventeen that are accessed on the ground level.
The final time Brian City Manager Keen Register shares a
city project update during a council meeting before his retirement,

under construction or had a recently accepted platfile within these subdivisions,

Houston Texans quarterback CJ. Stroud was named AFC Offensive Player
of the Week. We will talk about that and more
coming up in sports.
Speaker 10 (24:59):
So talking about dogs and experience is the question, why
does your dog stick its head out the window of
the car when you're driving down the road. Well, we
don't know exactly, but Discover magazine looked into it and
they said, well, here's the first thing they think of
is that dogs have a better sense of smell than
we do. They just love smelling all that stuff as
we go by. Second, they like to watch things, and
(25:19):
the maybe or maybe just the air blowing in their face.
Speaker 11 (25:23):
They say, any of those three reasons.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 11 (25:25):
The bowie used to like to stick his nose in
the ac.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Then, yeah, Dottie does that sometimes, and she will stick
her head out the window if I'm going thirty miles
or less.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Oh my gosh, I have to say something.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
I have, okay, because I saw something yesterday, and I
see a lot of things on the road around Brian
College Station, and I saw something yesterday that actually made
me angry. Okay, okay, So let's imagine you are driving.
I'm gonna put everybody, I'm gonna set the scene. You
are driving southbound on Highway sixth right, and you decide
(25:59):
that you are going to You're going to take the
exit near the mall, not not the Harvey Road exit.
So technically it's the Southwest Parkway exit. Yeah, right in
front of the mall, right in front of the mall.
Speaker 8 (26:09):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Okay, So you are again going southbound towards like further
into College Station.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
You take that exit, and so now you are on
the the on ramp. You are you are now merging.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
You decide you want to take that right right before
Cavender's Boot City. Oh okay, okay, so and we've all
seen it, right, cars colliment correct, So you decide you
want to take a right right there, and we've seen it,
you know, cars being very aggressive and just like swinging
over two lanes so they can take a right super quickly,
although it's very very unsafe. This person comes to a
(26:45):
complete stop, a complete stop in what is now the
same lane that people are going to be coming off
the highway in and getting off like and then trying
to get onto the highway merge lane, yes, the merge lane.
Complete stop with their blinker on. Oh my, I and
(27:05):
I so when I so, I'm on the feeder road
and so when I initially see them, I go, oh,
that is a terrible place to break down like that.
That that sucks and there's a car stopped behind them
because they're thinking, what is this person doing?
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Like they've got And so I passed them because I'm
going and I get and sure enough, I just think,
let me just look in my rear view mirror, because
surely they weren't.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
No, no, sure enough. Once traffic had cleared, they then
take a right across two lanes onto hallam in was
wrong with.
Speaker 10 (27:41):
It was?
Speaker 1 (27:41):
It was the the wildest thing I've ever seen to
come to a complete stop in the merge lane on
a feeder road just so you can take a right
where you want to take a road because you took
the wrong exit.
Speaker 10 (27:58):
I've seen it on University drive over by home depot
more than a few times.
Speaker 11 (28:02):
I mean where people.
Speaker 10 (28:03):
They're waiting to change lanes and their cars in the
lane what they want to go? Chelsea, don't you understand
I just stopped.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Thank goodness, traffic wasn't as crazy as it could have been,
right because they there was. But if I'm if I'm
coming off the highway, I'm easily going sixty miles an hour,
and now all of a sudden there is a car
at a complete stop in the merge lane.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
It was wild.
Speaker 11 (28:29):
It's the most.
Speaker 10 (28:30):
Stopping in the middle of traffic is stupid. That's the
most dangerous place you can be stupid, Yes, and you
can hurt yourself and a lot of them.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
All because and you need to cross two other lanes
to get to where you're going.
Speaker 11 (28:41):
People who inconvenience you for their convenience are there are
some of the worst people.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Yes, we've had that we've had.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
I mean, remember there was that that parent who went
out and sat on the corner of Graham and the
Barren Road exit.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
I think is and you know, because people would just
come out and yeah, but for me, those people are like,
I mean, they're speeding across traffic there, They're not coming.
This was a you were at a complete stop. I
would rather somebody try to cut me off than just
be stopped.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Oh you guys. And I was like, I have to
remember to bring this up on the show because it
was It was crazy.
Speaker 11 (29:20):
And you hope you never get into that city. Yes,
I would very much.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
You just got to keep going and then loop back
around like reroute reroute.
Speaker 10 (29:30):
Take a lap nothing exactly.
Speaker 11 (29:33):
You good.
Speaker 10 (29:33):
I know you'll be two minutes later than you planned.
But it's okay, and everybody will still be alive and not.

nine Texas A and M volleyball team fell to number
three Kentucky in a four set battle last night at
Red Arena. Three to one. The Aggie's unbeaten streak came
to an end. The Wildcats and him got off to
a hot start behind Logan Lednecki's seven first set kills
(30:05):
to take the opener. Kentucky responded, taking back to back frames,
and in a fourth set that went into extras, the
visitors prevailed to take the match. Here's head coach Jamie
Morrison after the game.
Speaker 13 (30:17):
Kentucky's a greatvolleyball team, and they're not ranked third in
the country on accident, and it was kind of an
up and down match, So there's parts of it. I'm
proud of parts of it that we got to get
better at. So we dressed a little bit of that
after the third, and I thought my team responded in
a really positive way on the fourth. So I'm proud
of that piece and a little bit disappointed. And I'll
cut up right now that we couldn't push out to five.
Speaker 11 (30:36):

water team that'll be intimidated in any way, shape or
form coming in here.

We're gonna have to beat them and that's what's going
to have to happen.
Speaker 11 (31:02):
And they're going to come in play in their best.

Great post on Facebook. The question is what white lies
have you told your kids? So here here we go
from the Internet. I've told my kids that another child
threw up all the playground equipment at McDonald's so that
they wouldn't go play on it.
Speaker 11 (33:40):
It's plausible.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Hey, I's gonna say it's probably yeah, true.
Speaker 11 (33:43):
Yeah, true.
Speaker 5 (33:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (33:44):
My daughter was a chicken fanatic but wouldn't eat fish
when she was about two, so we told her it
was chicken fish.
Speaker 11 (33:51):
She eats it every time they featured that at Long
John Selvi.
Speaker 10 (33:53):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
My aunt and I used to tell our kids that
there were little people in their noses and they would
bite their fingers if they stuck them in there.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
I like it's funny.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
I used to tell my kids the car wouldn't start
unless the seat belts were fastened.
Speaker 10 (34:07):
They love that.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Keep them safe, Yeah, if they wanted to keep the
good ice cream for themselves. My parents used to tell
my sister and me it had alcohol in it and
we couldn't eat it. It's boozy ice cream.
Speaker 11 (34:19):
My dad used to tell us all when we went
mushroom hunting, that we had to be quiet because the
mushrooms would hear us talking and go back into the ground.
Speaker 10 (34:25):
Oh.
Speaker 11 (34:26):
Pretty specifically, I tell my kids that the beeps for
forklifts at the big box home improvement stores are the
alarms that mean kids aren't listening to their moms and dads.
Men on lifts are looking for the Oh I like it.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
I like it.
Speaker 11 (34:39):
When our daughter was about three, we were at my
hometown's Christmas festival. She was acting like a typical three
year old when they get bored. I wanted to see
one more attraction then we would go. Still acting up,
my husband looks at her and says, if she remembers
her older brother asked her that Peter. She says no.
My husband said, Peter was acting just like you are,
and we left him at the festival last year.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Oh, I remember Peter.
Speaker 11 (35:01):
Remember Peter.
Speaker 5 (35:02):
That's very good.
Speaker 10 (35:04):
Well, it is almost eight o'clock. It is Thursday, so
it's time now for jokes with will.
Speaker 11 (35:09):
Oh yeah, we've got a Cajun theme today, a native
state there. So what is the loneliest place in Louisiana?
Speaker 5 (35:15):
What is it?
Speaker 11 (35:15):
By yourself?
Speaker 8 (35:17):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (35:17):
Very nice. What's the difference between zeus and Louisiana and
zoos everyplace else? Go ahead, well every place else. You
go up to the cage. It's got a plaque. It
has the name, genus and species in Louisiana, it has
the names and the recipes. Oh what do you call
what do you call it? Big cajun who never tells
the truth? I don't know, jumbo liar?
Speaker 10 (35:37):
Oh nice?
Speaker 11 (35:39):
All right, we'll wrap it up with this one. What
do you call it? Crawfish wearing a hairpiece? All right,
crawfish a to pay?
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Oh that's you.
Speaker 11 (35:47):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
That's a good one.
Speaker 10 (35:49):
All right, So you can send us jokes or will

Speaker 11 (35:54):
Anyway, A good potato chop, that's right. We do that
on Thursdays. Yeah, yeah, Cajun petty ships are good. So
let's quick look at the weather.
Speaker 10 (36:01):
High temperature today is probably going to be about ninety
three Lodan I only sixty five, and then on Friday
we're looking at ninety one and sixty one in our
low temperature on Saturday night for football sixty two degrees.
Speaker 11 (36:12):
That'd be nice.
Speaker 10 (36:13):
Limping on purpose was popular in the mid eighteen hundreds
in the UK, the Princess of Wales had rheumatic fever.
It gave her a limp and so as a result,
that's the reason that other people would limp as well.
A strange times and there is a word for half
a decade. It's called a lustroumer. Oh okay wgaw College
(36:34):
g
WTAW news time is three minutes after seven.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
It is seventy degrees.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
News is presented by Gilmore Electric Express, voted best electrician
of the Brazos Valley for an electrical service. Don't settle
for less, called Gilmore Electric Express at nine seven nine
seven to seven light.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
I'm Chelsea reberb Our story this week about the Brazos
County Commission approving more authority to approve contracts without first
going to the elected body was not mandated by a
new state law.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Here's what Commissioner Fred Brown said during the September thirtieth
meeting about the request that came from the director of
the county's Purchasing Office.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Now, there's nothing we can do about it. It gives
me pause, the entire thing, just that it is state law.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Now, looking further into the request, there are no new
state laws. One section of the Texas Government Code that
was enacted in nineteen eighty seven and another amended in
twenty eleven gives the Commission the option of giving the
Purchasing Office director authority to, among other things, of contracts
of up to one hundred thousand dollars. Commissioners were assured
at the September thirtieth meeting that they will be informed
(01:06):
of future decisions. Bill Oliver sixteen, twenty ninety four to
five WTAW.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Brass County District Court's administrative judge is retiring. Eighty fifth
District Court Judge Kyle Hawthorne, who is not running for
reelection next year, said he wants to sneak out as
quietly as possible.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
My wife and family and I made the decision a
little while back, and then I told my staff first,
and then I told the other judges, and then I
just kind of left it at that where it spread
as it normally would in courthouse gossip.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Hawthorne was first elected in twenty fourteen and was re
elected in twenty eighteen and twenty twenty two.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
If I recall correctly, when I ran, I said, you know,
I think three terms is kind of a good quitting spot,
and so how I think it's a good time to
go let some new eyes get on it.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
The upcoming vacancy has drawn at least one announced candidate.
Assistant Brasis County District Attorney for a Bear leads the
juvenile in civil divisions. Next January is the goal to
implement a master plan for economic development efforts in College Station.
At the City Council's last meeting, a draft plan was
presented by an Austin based consulting company. Consultant Jennifer Todd
(02:15):
Goyn said, One focus area is titled Industry.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
How can we really expand the thriving, diverse foundation that
you already have of talent, businesses and industry to create
that diversify tech space and enhance economic opportunity.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Another is titled Innovation.
Speaker 6 (02:30):
Here we're looking at how can we create College Station
as a hub for technology driven entrepreneurship, research and development,
business formation and growth, and wrap around support.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Goin says the four focus areas are components of a
vision statement where College Station becomes a nation's most vibrant
university community, a place where businesses thrive, innovation is embraced,
and quality of life is unmatched, resulting in sustained prosperity
and economic competitiveness. The City of Brian currently has twenty
seven housing subdivisions in some form of development, amounting to
(03:02):
more than one thousand lots.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
We had a lot of questions when people are moving
into town, you know, or the new subdivision, how many
lots are available? And that's probably the largest number I think
that I've ever seen of available lots.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
That was part of City Manager Keen Register's last city
project update to council members before he retires next month. Well,
this week's Brian City Council meeting included no opposition to
the design of the future signature playground at Midtown Park.
The construction contract has yet to be awarded. That is
scheduled to take place during a special meeting next Tuesday.
That agenda item provides more information about the four point
(03:36):
two million dollar project. Among the one hundred and twenty
five components are fifty eight elevated play areas and three
shaded pavilions with picnic tables. Mayor Bobby Gettierrez responded to
questions of why the playground does not include splash pads
or other water features.
Speaker 8 (03:50):
One of the reasons they didn't want the splash pad,
and they said, is because they didn't want their kids
going out there getting all wet and then they get dirty,
and then they got to put them in the car
somewhere else.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
While there remains two hundred and seventy two thousand dollars
in the project budget, city staff will propose funding sources
to add restrooms and electrical service at the playground. The
Brawss Valley Veterans Memorial will dedicate its nineteenth memorial site
next Monday morning. The Brian City Council's representative on the
Memorial Board, James Edge, previewed the dedication of a statue
(04:21):
remembering the Kosovo War.

There's a life sized bronze statue created by j Payne
Laura and it depicts a female combat pilot.

Yes, they do time, and so we go on.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
We can get paid to do sometimes.
Speaker 10 (05:41):
I had to do that right, and then we just
go and have fun. Like last night.
Speaker 11 (05:45):
Huh, last night I got to call these sub varsity
JV games, the two of them at Consolidated. The first game.
The final score was eighty four to twelve. I mean
it was. It was absolutely nuts. And the crazy thing
about that is that there were two touchdowns called back
on penalties. So we were trying to figure out how
to if we were going to go get a piece
of paper and paint a one on it and put
(06:07):
it on the scoreboard. So I mean it was it
was bad said they played. They were playing Layman last
night in the first JB game, which is who Kinsaul
is playing tonight. The second JB game, which ended up
fourteen to six, was against the Montgomery Bears. I don'tlieve it.
Speaker 10 (06:23):

Gosh, okay, oh in Hayes County.
Speaker 11 (06:32):
Well yeah, that's all.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
That's it is interesting, Yeah, just because I think College
Station played Layman.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Last week, I believe, or the week before.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
But anyway, that was when I first heard of it,
and someone said like Austin area, and I was like, oh, yeah,
it's amazing.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
How many high schools I've never heard of?
Speaker 11 (06:46):
Oh that's and and they're popping.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Up leven exactly like big high schools, right, yeah, yeah,
it just you know, and yeah, yeah.
Speaker 11 (06:54):
Look I'm so old.
Speaker 10 (06:55):
I remember when there were Cyprus fairbanks and that was.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
The that was the only size school only on out there.
Speaker 11 (07:00):
Yeah, College Station beat Layman seventy to fourteen back on
the twenty sixth of September.
Speaker 10 (07:05):
Man, that's got to be that's got to be a
new school in there.
Speaker 11 (07:09):
Problems being in What is that five A or what
five eight? All right, So.
Speaker 10 (07:15):
They asked US Americans, what's your By the way, the
Jerry Jones thing is so funny? Does he just do
that when they win? Because if that's the case, it
won't happen very often.
Speaker 11 (07:23):
Well, there was some speculation. There was some speculation that
it was actually not the opposing teams fans that he
was issuing that gesture too, that there was some speculation
that there were some Cowboys fans shouting some things about
the departed defensive lineman that Jerry Jones had a hand in.
I was traded to the Green Bay Packers, but I
don't know. The video is inconclusive.
Speaker 10 (07:43):
Okay, well we know what he did and he just
Jerry B and Jerry. So they ask what is your
favorite sport? Probably not surprising, football was number one? Okay
forty eight percent?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Oh okay, so we're talking US America.
Speaker 11 (07:57):
Yeah, US America.
Speaker 10 (07:58):
Yeah, not around the world, because the world would probably
be soccer, I don't think any doubt. Yeah, anyhow, that
includes both NFL and college.
Speaker 11 (08:05):
What surprised me was number two, and that was baseball.
Speaker 10 (08:08):
Oh okay, I'm surprised that baseball is that popular.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Yeah. I thought it would have been basketball, right.
Speaker 10 (08:13):
For all the reasons. Well, and actually they're tied, if
you will. Oh, but what they did is they did
a love hate thing and more people hate basketball, which
is interesting. So I don't gotcha. Okay, then game ice hockey.
Speaker 11 (08:24):
Hockey is on the way up and baseball dropped for
a while in interest, but it may be coming back.
Speaker 10 (08:30):
I guess, Well, I guess, but you know now they're
going to have they're going to have automated automated umpires.
They're going to have the strike zone next year.
Speaker 11 (08:38):
They're going to try. I think that's a great thing.
But who are you going to yell at? Well, that's
the deal. They speculate that it's going to actually reduce
the number of ejections because over sixty percent of ejections
are over balls and strikes.
Speaker 10 (08:50):
Okay, all right, Well, I like ice hockey, I really do.
I enjoy watching it.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
But anyway, that hockey is hard to watch on TV.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
It is.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
It is very hard, so fast, and it's so you
miss the puck and if you have no idea what's
going on, you really have no idea what's going on.
Speaker 11 (09:05):
Well, and that's it.
Speaker 10 (09:06):
It took me going to a game to say, Wow,
this is really good. It's not TV doesn't care.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah, I agree, like I.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
You know, I went to my first Stars game just
a couple of years ago, and I was like, oh, wow, yeah,
this is this is awesome, this is incredible, It's so
much fun. But it's just now, you could say that
about a lot of sports, like I.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
I because I've been around the sport so much.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I feel like volleyball it's not hard to watch on TV,
but it doesn't translate as well on TV as it
does if you're in person.
Speaker 11 (09:31):
That's probably right.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I agree with that, But I think you could say
that about a lot of sports.
Speaker 11 (09:34):
Sure.
Speaker 10 (09:34):
The well, the thing I remember when I want to
say was NBC who tried it. They tried to put
a tracer on the Yeah. I was wondering about that
on the hockey puck, which was interesting, I mean, but
then you see this blue thing and that's fine, that
helps a little bit.
Speaker 11 (09:49):
But uh and I don't.
Speaker 10 (09:50):
You know, it does a matter of yeah, right whereether
you like it or don't. Then golf came in after
ice hockey. Soccer is twelve percent, and again this is
this is just in the US America. Then comes golf,
then auto racing, tennis m m A at eight percent,
and then finally wrestling. Okay, man, I cannot watch MMA.
I can't imagine. I doubt oh really with pop Yeah,
(10:11):
gosh is so violent.
Speaker 12 (10:13):
It is.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
It's very violent.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
But if you know what's going on, like and maybe
that's what it was, Like my brother watches all the time.
I have a friends that have actually gotten into it
and like even you know, they go to Brass Valley MMA,
and so if you know what's going on and what
you're looking for, it's a lot more entertaining than just
watching two people beat.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
The crap out.
Speaker 11 (10:36):
And there's real science to it, this technique. Yeah, okay,
all right.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yeah, obviously yeah, there are there are there.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
There are definitely more gruesome fights than others because when
the blood starts flowing, they let it flow.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (10:52):
Good morning, seven eighteen. The UNFILMAEDIAX on a Thursday, give
it away tickets to the Texas Renaissance Festival and Brice's
Valley Fair and Rodeo. Question is, what's your favorite potato chip?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yeah, let us know, text us with your first and
last name nine seven nine six nine five sixteen twenty.
A few of you just liked the good Old Lays
original aw yep, yep. Somebody else said, right, yes, I
love them all right now, though I'm hooked on the
h B lamone, which is like a lime flavor. Somebody
else said dill pickle and vinegar chins, which those are
(11:21):
becoming a thing. I'm seeing a lot more pickle pickle flavorship. Yep,
salt and vinegar, ruffles, sour cream and cheddar.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
That's a that's a throwback for sure.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
And somebody else said that their favorite is a full
can of pringles just sitting on muckouts.
Speaker 10 (11:35):
Oh wow, there you go. That's it all right. So
would it be really weird to finally dust off the
fine china that you got for whatever reason, your wedding
or something like that from years ago and have family
pizza night on it?
Speaker 11 (11:50):
Yes, Because here's the thing.
Speaker 10 (11:52):
New survey, fifty eight percent of people said that if
it were practical, they would use their special occasion items
every single day. But it's just not practical. So why
is it not practical? Well, I presume that, well a
lot of them have to be hand washed, gotcha.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Okay, And that's what I was kind of going on,
That's what I thought. I just was because I was like,
it's practical if you want to use it, use it.
But yes, if you're to if you have to hand
wash it every single time, you can't just throw it
in the dishwasher, then yes, it's not practical.
Speaker 11 (12:20):
All right.
Speaker 10 (12:20):
So I'm the old guy. So you know, we've got
so much stuff. Yeah, I mean just so much of
this old stuff. Jackie's dad lived with us for the
last years of his life. He brought his silver set.
I mean, we've got this cabinet full of this stuff
and none of our kids want it. Yeah, I mean
(12:41):
they don't want that stuff. Oh look, this is a
cut glass down.
Speaker 11 (12:45):
I don't care.
Speaker 10 (12:46):
Yeah, And so I mean I don't know what people
like my age or around by eh, you have fine
china or second generations of fine china? Yeah, what are
you going to.
Speaker 11 (12:55):
Do with it?
Speaker 8 (12:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (12:56):
I don't know. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
The idea of passing it down generation to generation has
really changed, because I, yeah, I just don't. I think,
you know, people my age, don't, your kid's age, like,
don't necessarily want that stuff. They don't see the need
for it. They'd have to store it somewhere. I think
I've got at least a couple of sets of china
that I'll choose from when I want to really wow, yeah,
(13:17):
well I think my grandmother has You.
Speaker 11 (13:20):
Don't care you don't have it with you though right now?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
No, no, no, no, I'm saying yes, yes, that I will be
able to call DIBs on once I want to.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Again, I don't. I don't live in a home. I don't.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I'm not married, so I don't really have I don't
do a lot of entertaining for in that way, I
would have nowhere to put it right now.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
And so well, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 11 (13:39):
We actually had to build a special cabinet. I think
we've got four sets of different chinas that have come
through both sides of our family, and silver and things
like that, and we never use them. They're displayed, some
of them are displayed, but the rest of them are
just stored. And I'm the same way Chelsea, I don't.
I didn't necessarily want this stuff. When we registered for
it for our wedding, I was like, we're never going
to use it.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
See, and you registered for something.
Speaker 11 (14:02):
That's the thing back then is you had to register
for the.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
China, right but like minding if I'm going to have
china coming from Grandma, Like I don't want to register
for my own.
Speaker 11 (14:11):
No, no, no, no no. It was that thing you
had to do.
Speaker 9 (14:14):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Sure.
Speaker 10 (14:15):
Seventy nine percent of homeowners say they have nice items
that are set aside for special occasions, including some intricate
pieces and you know, glassware and dishware. Sixty four percent
admit that they never touch those items. We got two
cabinets have glass fronts, you know, so you can see
this that we never use.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
At least you have glass front so at least it's
like kind of pretty to look at it.
Speaker 10 (14:37):
That's I don't know, that's right. And then and how
much dust gets in there? I mean, we never open
those cabinets and you get dusty. How is that that
the dust monster gets in there? Some people do get
some use out of their fancy dishes and glasses. The
most popular occasion people will bring them out is for
holiday gathering, so that's coming up.
Speaker 11 (14:57):
You might do that.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I was gonna say, I know, my mom has a
set of like silver silverware, like real you know, the
good stuff, and she'll bring that out for Thanksgiving and
Christmas dinner and things like that.
Speaker 10 (15:07):
Anniversaries or second followed by marriages, milestone birthdays, graduating, getting engaged,
having a child, having guests over, like for funerals, celebrating
new job promotions, whatever. That's when people bring the good
stuff out. But generally we don't.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
You know, we talk about trends and how things kind
of come back around. It will be interesting to see
if in the next i don't know, fifteen twenty years,
there's this kind of shift back to more formal dining situations.
But I just feel like right now people just don't care.
Speaker 11 (15:36):
Yeah, like that formal dining was what I grew up on.
My wife was completely different and it was completely informal
in her household.
Speaker 10 (15:44):
Yeah, it's that, And I guess that's the thing is
you and you you see, like if you go to
a banquet or something and the setting is very nice,
I mean that's a great thing, but that's a special
occasion type situation.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, yeah, but like you know, my family, like we
get together pretty often because we're all here in town,
and we'll, you know, we'll have a meal and we'll
sit in the dining room, but like, depending on what
it is, like, we still may have like paper plates
or you know, and like, you know, and my mom's
dining tables all set and she's got cute little napkins
and core, but then we're still eating all with like
(16:16):
plastic forks.
Speaker 11 (16:18):
Thursday morning.
Speaker 10 (16:19):
So graduation in dogs last.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Night, Yes, Dottie graduated from Puppy Love obedience training and
it was really cute. We actually and it was smart too.
They took their graduation pictures at the beginning off. Go
ahead and get those out of the way, which I
do not have yet. They will be uploaded to Facebook,
I think hopefully today or tomorrow, so I will definitely
share because it was.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Really really cute.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
But yes, she had her last training session last night.
It went very well. I mean again, shout out to
Puppy Love. We had an amazing experience. It truly was
just as much about me learning as it was about her.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
And so we.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
We still have a lot of work to do, but
we have all the tools now to to kind of
do that stuff at home.
Speaker 10 (17:04):
So were there any underachievers there?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Well, you know, I will say the class ended up
a little shorter or a little smaller.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Than it started. I even asked her, I said, so
do you typically you know? She goes, oh, yeah, every class,
is that right?
Speaker 11 (17:19):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Now, obviously there may be scheduling conflicts, although you know
when we meet, like it's on the calendar from the
beginning because it's the same day and the same time
every week. But yeah, there were. So we we started
with six, which is a full class, and last night
we only had four.
Speaker 11 (17:36):
Goodness. Yeah, there's there going to be some big graduation
party for Donald.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
You know, I hadn't planned a party, but we'll see
maybe are you know maybe there we go. Yeah, perfect,
But you know, it was interesting, Scott.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I thought of you because I know y'all used to
take Maggie to Low's, into Murdochs and all of these
other like you know, puppy friendly places, And that's what
she said with her dogs, like some it's just about
so there's a difference between like a training session and
then what she calls exposure sessions, and so like the
other day, she took one of her new puppies out
to Low's and actually I think I think they did
(18:11):
eventually go inside, but there there was like a picnic
table out kind of by the front.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
She goes.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
I just let her sit there and just watch and
just kind of take it yep, and just kind of
get used to people going in and out, think, you know,
lumber being sure, you know, like the noises, like, because
it's a pretty noisy place. She was And I did
have to go in eventually to get something that I
went to Low's for, but this was more of just
a a you know, getting her out in public, getting
her used to the sites and the sounds and things
(18:35):
like that.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
And that's something I need to do more of.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
I mean, Dottie's great at going places with me, but
it needs to be I need to be more consistent
with that. And actually just like getting her that way
every time she goes out, it becomes just more normal
for her as well.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
WTAW news time is seven thirty two. It is seventy degrees.
News is presented by American Momentum Bank, building Financial Success
one client at a time. Equahalsinglander member at DIC Good
Morning I'm Chelsea reberb. At their last business meeting, Brass
County commissioners voted to give the purchasing office more authority
over approving contracts, but that was not required by a
(19:17):
new state law.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Commissioner Fred Brown, who was part of the unanimous vote
giving the purchasing office authority to sign off on contracts
of up to one hundred thousand dollars, believe they were
mandated to give up control.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
When you talk about one hundred thousand dollars, that's a
lot of flexibility for staff that doesn't have to come
to us.
Speaker 11 (19:35):
This was caused by the legislature.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
A further check by WTAW News with county officials confirmed
there are no new state laws. The commission's vote reflected
a request from the director of the county's Purchasing Office,
who signed two sections of the Texas Government Code. Both sections,
one which was amended in twenty eleven and another that
was enacted in nineteen eighty seven, gives the commission the
(19:58):
option of allowing the director to authorize those contracts, among
other things. Bill Oliver sixteen, twenty ninety four to five WTAW.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Next year's local elections will include choosing a new District
Court Judge Kyle Hawthorne is not running for a fourth
term as eighty fifth district Judge.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
You got a deadline in November that you got to
say whether you are you aren't, and you know, probably
after the first of the year. I was looking at
the future, given my age and health and all of that,
and talking it over with family, and I just think
it's time.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Hawthorne says being judge has been the most enjoyable experience
of his nearly forty year legal career.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Obviously, though cliche is, I was honored at the people
of Brass County allowed me to do it, and I'm
happy with my decision, happy that I got the opportunity
to do this.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
There is at least one person who has announced their
candidacy for the upcoming vacancy. Jennifer Abear leads the Brass
County District Attorney's Office Civil and Juvenile Divisions. A woman
from Kerrville is in the county jail on charges of
breaking into seven work trucks that were parked in Wison
Valley and attempting to steal up to twenty thousand dollars
in copper wiring. Braso's County Sheriff's Deputy Rights and his
(21:10):
arrest report that multiple shoe prints next to a stack
of tools and spools of copper that were removed from
the trucks match the shoes of the forty two year
old woman who denied burglarizing the vehicles. The College Station
City Council's last meeting included a presentation from outside consultants
based in Austin who were hired to create a master
plan for economic development. One thing the council heard was
(21:32):
a vision statement.
Speaker 6 (21:33):
College Station will be the nation's most vibrant university community,
a place where businesses thrive, innovation is embraced, and quality
of life is unmatched, resulting in sustained prosperity and economic competitiveness.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Jennifer Todd Goyn said the vision statement will be accomplished
by achieving four focus areas.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
One is creating an identity, and.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
Here we're looking at how can we create those university
and community synergies to create dynamic districts and authentic places
that are good for resident US businesses, students and visitors,
and not every place has to serve every population.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Other focus areas are creating a diversified tax base, established
the city as an innofation hub and positioning the city
as an economic leader. The consultant's goal is to finalize
and implement the master plan next January. Next Monday Morning
is a dedication of the nineteenth Memorial site at the
Brasses Valley Veterans Memorial. A preview was given by Brian
(22:25):
Councilman James Edge, who represents the city on the memorial board.
Edge says the dedication is for a life size statue
of a female pilot in the Kosovo War, and the
featured speaker is a retired Air Force combat pilot who
also holds key leadership roles with the Air Force ROTC program.
Speaker 9 (22:41):
Wendy Woodard serves currently as a professor at Texas and University,
where she mentors young leaders in the core of Cadets.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Monday Mornings program starts at nine at the Memorial, which
is located at Veterans Park just inside the Harvey Road entrance.
The City of Brian has provided more details about the
playground that is coming to Midtown Park. The information comes
from the agenda of a special meeting of the City
Council next Tuesday, where official action will be taken on
awarding the four point two million dollar contract. This follows
(23:08):
a presentation of the park design at this week's council
meeting that received no council opposition. Mayor Bobby Gettierre said
splash pads or other water features are not included because
that would result in children leaving and wearing wet clothes,
and it.
Speaker 11 (23:21):
Makes perfect sense.
Speaker 8 (23:22):
If you're traveling with the big group and a bunch
of kids, you you don't want to have to if
you're out of town, change your kids three or four
times a day.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
The playground calls for one hundred and twenty five different
play components, including fifty elevated play areas that are accessible
by ramp and seventeen that are accessed on the ground level.
The final time Brian City Manager Keen Register shares a
city project update during a council meeting before his retirement,
he's impressed by the current construction of new single family homes.
Speaker 12 (23:49):
There are currently twenty seven subdivisions or phases of subdivisions
under construction or had a recently accepted platfile within these subdivisions,
or one thou fifty six lots for single family home
developments in.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Brin Register says the number of available residential lots is
probably the largest he's ever seen. WTAW news time is

Speaker 11 (24:52):
Houston Texans quarterback CJ. Stroud was named AFC Offensive Player
of the Week. We will talk about that and more
coming up in sports.
Speaker 10 (24:59):
So talking about dogs and experience is the question, why
does your dog stick its head out the window of
the car when you're driving down the road. Well, we
don't know exactly, but Discover magazine looked into it and
they said, well, here's the first thing they think of
is that dogs have a better sense of smell than
we do. They just love smelling all that stuff as
we go by. Second, they like to watch things, and
(25:19):
the maybe or maybe just the air blowing in their face.
Speaker 11 (25:23):
They say, any of those three reasons.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 11 (25:25):
The bowie used to like to stick his nose in
the ac.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Then, yeah, Dottie does that sometimes, and she will stick
her head out the window if I'm going thirty miles
or less.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Oh my gosh, I have to say something.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
I have, okay, because I saw something yesterday, and I
see a lot of things on the road around Brian
College Station, and I saw something yesterday that actually made
me angry. Okay, okay, So let's imagine you are driving.
I'm gonna put everybody, I'm gonna set the scene. You
are driving southbound on Highway sixth right, and you decide
(25:59):
that you are going to You're going to take the
exit near the mall, not not the Harvey Road exit.
So technically it's the Southwest Parkway exit. Yeah, right in
front of the mall, right in front of the mall.
Speaker 8 (26:09):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Okay, So you are again going southbound towards like further
into College Station.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
You take that exit, and so now you are on
the the on ramp. You are you are now merging.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
You decide you want to take that right right before
Cavender's Boot City. Oh okay, okay, so and we've all
seen it, right, cars colliment correct, So you decide you
want to take a right right there, and we've seen it,
you know, cars being very aggressive and just like swinging
over two lanes so they can take a right super quickly,
although it's very very unsafe. This person comes to a
(26:45):
complete stop, a complete stop in what is now the
same lane that people are going to be coming off
the highway in and getting off like and then trying
to get onto the highway merge lane, yes, the merge lane.
Complete stop with their blinker on. Oh my, I and
(27:05):
I so when I so, I'm on the feeder road
and so when I initially see them, I go, oh,
that is a terrible place to break down like that.
That that sucks and there's a car stopped behind them
because they're thinking, what is this person doing?
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Like they've got And so I passed them because I'm
going and I get and sure enough, I just think,
let me just look in my rear view mirror, because
surely they weren't.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
No, no, sure enough. Once traffic had cleared, they then
take a right across two lanes onto hallam in was
wrong with.
Speaker 10 (27:41):
It was?
Speaker 1 (27:41):
It was the the wildest thing I've ever seen to
come to a complete stop in the merge lane on
a feeder road just so you can take a right
where you want to take a road because you took
the wrong exit.
Speaker 10 (27:58):
I've seen it on University drive over by home depot
more than a few times.

lane what they want to go? Chelsea, don't you understand
I just stopped.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Thank goodness, traffic wasn't as crazy as it could have been,
right because they there was. But if I'm if I'm
coming off the highway, I'm easily going sixty miles an hour,
and now all of a sudden there is a car
at a complete stop in the merge lane.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
It was wild.
Speaker 11 (28:29):
It's the most.
Speaker 10 (28:30):
Stopping in the middle of traffic is stupid. That's the
most dangerous place you can be stupid, Yes, and you
can hurt yourself and a lot of them.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
All because and you need to cross two other lanes
to get to where you're going.

some of the worst people.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Yes, we've had that we've had.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
I mean, remember there was that that parent who went
out and sat on the corner of Graham and the
Barren Road exit.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
I think is and you know, because people would just
come out and yeah, but for me, those people are like,
I mean, they're speeding across traffic there, They're not coming.
This was a you were at a complete stop. I
would rather somebody try to cut me off than just
be stopped.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Oh you guys. And I was like, I have to
remember to bring this up on the show because it
was It was crazy.
Speaker 11 (29:20):
