Angie gilden Water from the Gonnaala Charleston UMaine Association with
this week's Adopt Me Please Pet of the Week. Good
morning and happy Friday.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Friday, indeed, and I appreciate you making time for me
on this Friday and sounds busy today.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Listen to me. Listen to me, girl, you starting to
show every Friday. Okay, it all works around you. This
slot has been for the not me Please Pet of
the Week for the last several years. And I don't
care what happens. We do a pet giveaway on Friday
or an adoption of Friday at nine oh seven. You
can count on it, all right, even.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
If Coach Kid wants the spot too.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
And do we really need to go there, Angie with
your crush on Coach Kid?
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Board?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
All right? So, uh, we have a cat this week.
His name is Bubbles. Tell us about Bubbles.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
So Bubbles is a pretty new resident to our shelter.
He came in on Wednesday, and when I walked into
our admissions room, I was blown away at how giant.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
This cat is.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
He's fifteen pounds and he looks every bit of it
in the nicest way possible. He's neutered, He's very sweet.
He loved wet food as you can imagine, and he
also just loves for you to sit there and pet him.
He's currently calling pet coo south Ridge location home. So
if you're in the area, definitely stop buy and see
(04:14):
for yourself and see if I'm lying to you about
how big this cat is. And also stop buy and
say hi to him. He's the sweetest little cat ever, neutered, vaccinated,
ready to roll when you are.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
So so he's picked up as a strength, Is that right?
Speaker 6 (04:28):
Or so?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
The South Charleston Humane officer had brought him in. His
owner had actually brought him to the police department in
South Charleston and said that she just could no longer
care for things in her life had changed. So did
the right thing by you know, taking him somewhere rather
than dumping him on the streets. So his circumstances changed.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
We'll say that, okay, And it happens. It happens so frequently.
So again, Bubbles is our pedal the week. Picture posted
Dave Allen Radio on Facebook, also the WHS network page
and also at Dave a seventy on X and A
Bubble seems I could be a fantastic captains but already
ready to go. I mean newter vaccinated, and you said
seems to be friend. I wonder did the owner, I
(05:10):
know you didn't talk to them. I wondered if the
owner said how Bubbles would do with other cats or
but but you may not know that.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
I think Bubbles lived with other cats. If what I
heard from the South Charleston he made officer was correct,
he did live with other cats, so I think he
would do fine. Cats are dramatic though, in the first
couple of days of meeting. Oh yeah, cats, Oh you know,
you got to get past that little rough patch and
then they're fine.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Well, if you're looking for a great looking cat, he's
a big old boy, as you said, I mean he
used to maybe go the a Zimpek route. But he's
a he's a he's a good sized feller. Bubbles is
his name. Picture posted Dave Island Radio on Facebook and
at Dave A seventy on x and also the WHS
Network Facebook page as well. It's going to be a
great weekend, you guys gonna be out and about anywhere.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
We actually did all our traveling this week. I'm going
to places, so so nothing this weekend, but we did
have a pretty busy week with.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Off side of it, all right, what you have going
on this week?
Speaker 4 (06:06):
So we went to Bridge Valley yesterday talked about volunteer
opportunities for those students that are going there and if
they need community service hours for their program, because we
are once again in desperate need of volunteers. And we
are actually at a City National Bank location today with
an optible puppies and hopefully kittens if we have any
(06:27):
They which location?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Which? Which location?
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Angie Glasgow? All right? So the City National Glasgow? Okay,
make sure that you stop mind seeing there. And of
course we're still talking about tuxes and tails. Your big
events Saturday night, April twenty fifth, seven o'clock at jq
Diickets and Saltworks there in Malden. It's going to be
a great night, but you need to get you tickets
as soon as possible.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Yeah, they are sewing out quickly. Last week when I
spoke with our director of development, she said that over
half the tickets.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Had been sold.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
So if you want to go, get those tickets now.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yeah, and they're information is available on their Facebook page
and also at the website as well. The Dave Alan
Show on five any Live has brought you in part
by a Husband's Pizza, where this month get a large
et ditch Pepperoni pizza and a Pepperoni cow Zone twenty
one ninety nine. Find your local husbands for pickup, dining,
or delivery at Husbandspizza dot com. I want to talk
about real quickly here, Angie, A win for humanity and
(07:20):
the animals we all love. We told you last fall
that there was an animal cruelty case in Dunbar. The
owner from what I understand, the owner was found guilty
on four accounts of animal cruelty and neglect. Big props
to the Dunbar Police Department and also the prosecutor's office
here in Kanawha County. What more can you tell us
(07:41):
about that? I know you posted about it on your
social media That's where I got it, So what more
can you tell us about that?
Speaker 4 (07:47):
So the case itself is not quite over yet. There's
one more hurdle that we have to jump in order
for us to you know, can obtain full custody of
the dog, free home them and get all that so
that I can share. I can also share the fact
that the prosecutor for this case was more than what
(08:09):
we could have imagined for you know, a defendant of
animal welfare that I'll just say that all of our
staff that were you know, a part of this case
and testified on behalf of these dogs could not talk
kindly enough and like just wonderfully enough about how this
entire situation was handled and how the outlook is looking
(08:30):
as of right now. So a big, big, big win
for animal cruelty laws and you know, people being held
accountable for you know, violating those laws.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
What what can you tell us? I know you said
it's not completely over, and you just tell me what
you're allowed to say. What can you tell us specifically,
because it's been a couple months since we talked about,
what can you tell us about that case? I'd have
done bar.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
So there were three four Great Danes, very giant Great
Danes in this house. They were not given access to
fresh food, water, and they were extremely underweight for the
breed standard of a Great Dane. We're talking like at
least fifty pounds underweight. So that is what I can
(09:14):
share thus far, and hopefully once the case is settled,
we can get into more of the details. Hopefully next
week I'll be coming back with more details and that
very happy.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Ending for all these thoughts. Awesome, awesome, and again a
big shout out to a prosecutor at deb Rusnick and
the people of her office and also, as she said,
the Dunbar Police Department as well for helping out. We
had a text here similar lines. I guess we've been
telling you a story of Stubs and somebody wanted to
know if we have any updates on the Stubs story.
Speaker 7 (09:45):
I have not.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Personally received any updates on Stubs. I have been reaching
out to our manager of the Humane Officers and Cruelty Cases,
et cetera for updates on that. There's nothing really that's
new developmental for this case specifically, pretty much the update
still stands at you know, we have a potential owner
(10:06):
of Stubbs that you know, said that someone had stolen
him from her and would not give him back. That
is about as far as we've gotten with with his
case in particular.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Okay, and again, this was the dog we've been telling
you about, that is we believe was thrown from a car,
possibly shot or definitely shot, possibly thrown from a car,
and somebody showed up at the shelter with the with
with this dog and we we don't know a whole
lot what the circumstances were. Your medical crew was able
(10:37):
to ascertain that that's pretty much what happened. You were
attempting to do surgery and the little guys just his
body just couldn't handle it, and you eventually had to
put him down. So it's a tragic, tragic case, and
hopefully we can get to the bottom of it and
maybe have something like what we did in this dunbar
case that looks like that's the direction that that that
that it's heading, and we can we can get some
(10:59):
justice here for Still, what do you need of at
the shelter right now, Angie?
Speaker 4 (11:04):
So we are having cats and kittens trickle in to
our shelter very quickly. I just got a message this
morning that said there are possibly fifteen cats coming from
one place today. So we are in need of cat
food here in a catchow wet cat food, any brand,
kitty litter, and bleach we've had. You know, the shelter
(11:24):
is a pretty dirty place, so bleach helps us keep
both animals and people safe with you know, all the
germs that are there. So bleach is another big one.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
All right, excuse me, Angie, I appreciate you being here
as always, and we will talk soon. Hopefully we'll have
some more updates on those cruelty cases we talked about
with them. Maybe we can have that for you next week.

(16:39):
This morning the Jeric Construction City is good morning, welcome

Speaker 11 (16:42):
Good morning, Thank you for having me, thank you for
being here.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
So congratulations on this award.
Speaker 11 (16:47):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
All right, so tell me your story, tell me how
you get involved in this whole thing, and we'll break
it down from there.
Speaker 11 (16:53):
Well, I started out as a domestic violence advocate for
a Resolve, move up to an outreach specialist which is
still for Resolved domestic violence, and now I am their
community engagement manager for the YW Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Now, I know that obviously it's a job. But you
don't go into something or specialize in something like domestic
violence as you did, if you don't have a passion
for it.
Speaker 11 (17:21):
No, I definitely have a passion. I'm also a survivor, okay,
and so it's something dear to my heart.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I don't want to step on the toes here. Do
you want to tell some of your story? If you don't,
that's perfectly fine.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
No.
Speaker 11 (17:34):
No, I like to say I'm from that era or
from that age group that we didn't speak about things,
We kept it hidden, And so I was a victim
at one point and I didn't know how to reach
out for help. Eventually I came into some strong women
(17:57):
later for a different situation and happen to work for
the Why, and I always remembered how they treated me
and how they treated my family, and I thought I
would like to help too. Who knew that that would
come true.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
It's amazing to me to Mika when you find people
that have a passion for public service in whether it's this,
I mean, anybody that's in the recovery community will tell
you that the best people that do the best things
in the recovery community are people that themselves were addicts
at one point because they because they know the story
(18:38):
and they speak the language. And you being brave enough
to tell your story, you know when when these when
you were dealing with these with these folks, and I
don't I mean, men are victims of domestic violence.
Speaker 11 (18:50):
Yes they are, Yes they are.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
That's something people really don't like.
Speaker 11 (18:53):
To talk grace. They men get left out, but they
are victims and we deal with men as well. One
of our shelters we do not discriminate. So we taken
men just as well as women, Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
And and my point in saying that is is that
sometimes when you reach out for help, you know, people
may have they may have a degree, or they may
have whatever, and they got skills and they want to help,
but you ain't been there.
Speaker 11 (19:18):
You haven't been there yet, Yeah, because it's very humbling
for someone to even reach out for help.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
And you can put your arm around one of these
ladies or men and just say, look, I know because
I've been there, and I do.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
I do.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I'm sure you do. Now you're being honored with some
other pretty heavy hitters here in Kanau Valley. Nancy Bruns,
Susie Salisbaron and Susie very Well and Adrian Worthy will
be given the Women of Achievement Awards. Samantha Nigert, who
is a frequent guest of this show with our work
with part of the West Side Neighborhood Association, They're all
going to be awarded alongside you. It's pretty heavy hitters there.
Speaker 11 (19:55):
Yeah, those are amazing, amazing women.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
So what do you do on a daily base? I mean,
in order to I mean, we talked about the domestic
violence but what is it that you do with the organization.
What are the other things that you do.
Speaker 11 (20:07):
I spread awareness, I spread awareness, I go out and
do outreach. I try to get donations, volunteers. So I'm
just wherever they need me to be, doing whatever they
need me to do in the community.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
And I want to talk about that need for volunteers. Yes,
because because when I was talking to you in the
green room and I said something about we'll just talking
about and you said the word volunteers, and you just
lit up, because because you need volunteers. Talk about the
neighbor volunteers we do.
Speaker 11 (20:38):
We need volunteers. We have so many different programs and
sometimes people can't give money, and that's okay, but maybe
you can give time. Maybe you can come out and
you have a skill. You can paint something, or teach
our seniors how to crochet, or read a book to
(20:58):
our children. We definitely could use volunteers plan a garden.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
And these are all parts of of of the YWCS.
Speaker 11 (21:06):
And we have so many different programs. We take care
of seniors, our unhoused families, are domestic violence guests. We
have court advocacy, We have pasted in present where that's
our thrift shop, and we dress our clients as well
as let them come in there and shop.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Now, where's the where's the gift show?
Speaker 11 (21:27):
You know on Elizabeth Street? Okay, it's pasted in presents,
like right across the street from the Board of Education.
We came missing, No exactly where you can? I always
call me and I'll walk you to it. We also
take donations for that as well.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
All right, I want to get into that. All right,
So people listen to us right now. This is you know,
we're finally the winter maybe is getting behind us once
we get through Apparently Sunday night into Monday, so people
may be doing some spring cleaning and they got some
stuff that then we're not We don't want you junk.
We don't mean that, but I mean some things that
you want to that you want to get rid of
and that other people could use. Talk about that.
Speaker 11 (21:59):
Yeah, So if you want to come out and donate clothing, shoes.
Sometimes people forget sometimes when you're on a run or
you leave a bad situation. These women and men they
leave with nothing. So sometimes in the middle of the
night they have nothing but what they have on. So
not only do we provide housing for them when they're ready.
(22:23):
We try to get their housing filled with items like
a coffee maker, a couch, a bed sheets, towels, even
hygiene products. So we take everything that you can think of.
We also are one of the only pet shelters that
have pets. Okay, cool, So we also take donations for
that as well.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
And I've heard a lot of stories, Tamika about that
with people. I mean, because I'm an animal person, you know,
and there are people that have said, well, I want
to get out of the situation, or if it's not
domestic violence, I want to try to better my situation.
But I got my dog, I got my cat, and
I can't. But so you guys are okay with that,
or you'll work with them.
Speaker 11 (23:01):
Yes, now, our domestic violence shelter, we do have a
pet shelter there, Okay, So we do have and it
was for that situation. Women are men. They're like, I
can't leave because I don't have anywhere for my animal
to go, and they're allowed to stay there with them.
So we also need cat food, dog food. We've had
a chicken at one time.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
A chicken that was someone's pet. I need to hear
this story.
Speaker 11 (23:25):
I don't really, I just know the chicken was there
and it was someone's pet, because we don't judge.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
All right, there you go, Ryan, that's promo material right there.
We had a chicken somebody somebody showed up. I'm resisting
the bad dad joke type pun about like, you know,
was it foul play or something like that. But I'm
not going to do that. I'm not going to exactly. Yeah,
he's the one I do there. I get paid to
talk on the radio, not to tell jokes. All right.
(23:52):
So this event's going to be Friday at noon at
Embassy Suite in Charleston. Where can people get tickets?

Logan Elementary School in my native land down in Logan County,
(26:13):
and the fire did not destroy the entire school, but
it did quite a bit of damage to things that
can't easily be replaced. Years and years of mementos and
teachers that had been teaching there for decades and they
lost things. So the community down there is really really
rally trying to help out. And when Rob saw the story,
(26:33):
Rob came to me and basically said, Hey, you're from Logan.
What can we do here? I said, well, I know

Fishing Hunting, an outdoor sports show presented by can Am,
turned to Myland Park in Morgantown, Saturday and Sunday, March
seventh and eighth, Folks, this is a big event. I've
been up there for several years. Over one hundred thousand

(29:10):
in one spot. Complete details WV Outdoor Sports Show dot Com,

five fifty eight fifty eight. Tony B. Taylor Text three
zero four nine three five five zero zero eights. So
last Saturday morning, there was a devastating fire. As I
(29:32):
told you earlier, Logan elementary school school not destroyed, but
a lot of smoke, a lot of water damage, books destroyed,
gym equipment. One teacher that I know there had posted
on social media. I mean she was a teacher at
that school for thirty years, and as I mentioned earlier,
you could imagine the type things that a teacher will
(29:52):
collect being in one, maybe two classrooms in a thirty
year career. Many of those things cannot simply cannot be replaced.
But we're going to try, at least with some rob
real from her sister Station ninety six to one KWS
is here now to talk about what we can do
to help Rob. Good morning and welcome to the show.
Good morning.
Speaker 7 (30:11):
I'm glad you started with the good news that no
one was injured, thank goodness, and the structure is going
to be fine. They'll be able to get back into
the school, probably not until the start of the next
year because well, clean up it is a lot, but
virtually everything inside, all the stuff has been it's a
(30:32):
complete loss because of fire, smoke and then water damage
from putting out the fire or fire suppression systems. So
what we learned when we reached out because the cost
of doing this business of show, we get to do
a lot of cool stuff, but the balance to that
is we take care of our friends and neighbors. We
(30:54):
give back, We help every opportunity we could. And when
we heard about this, we knew that Superstar catcherade out
Et six one K had to jump in and do something,
and so we wanted to do one of our drop
events and we wanted to take it on the road.
So we're going to go down to Logan on Tuesday
from eight until noon at Logan Bank and Trust. Right
(31:15):
there in Fountain Plaza. You can see it from corrid
orgy right by the light. If you already live in
that part of the world, you're probably stopping there for gas, coffee,
maybe a sit down breakfast.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
There are lots of places. There are lots of shopping
places there too. What we learned when we.
Speaker 7 (31:30):
Reached out is that the efforts to get supplies, so
pencils and notebooks and crayons, that's going really well. And
we learned that the efforts to get books back in
the hands of our young readers, everybody from beginning readers
to chapter books, that that's going pretty well. There are
(31:51):
a couple of book drives that are underway. The big
need we learned about that wasn't being met is for
items that fuel play, recess and phizzed classes and indoor
educational activities, indoor educational play. So we basically decided, well,
(32:11):
that's what we're gonna do. The folks there got us
a list together. Thank you to Tiffany and everybody at
Logan Elementary. If you go to the ninety six to
one KWUS Facebook page, you will see our.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Let's get the play back to Logan Elementary.
Speaker 7 (32:25):
You'll see the big poster of what we're doing and
then underneath in the comments a long list of items
that are needed, everything from sports balls to sidewalk chalk,
building blocks, kinetic sand. They're even little manipulatives like you
don't think of mister Potatohead necessarily as being an educational toy,
(32:46):
But not only is it, there's basic anatomy to that,
but there's also motor skills being taught when kids use
those sorts of things. So lots of opportunities on that
list for you to donate something. And if you're somebody
who is in a hurry, you can't go to one
of the dozen stores that are there at Fountain Plaza
(33:08):
to pick something up that's on the list cash and
check donations because the school can't do that directly. Yeah,
our friends from Union Mission, Jason jumped in immediately and said, yes,
we can be your third party intercessor we can help
make that happen. So even if you just want to
you know, you're in a hurry, you're going you were
a you were you bank at Logan Bank Addrust and
(33:28):
you want to make a withdraw and put it right
into the hands of Union Mission. We can take care
of that too, But kind of a mini drop your
drop your toys. I don't want to use the word toys, yew.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Educational stuff, yeah, I mean it is and is such
an important part of kids' education, especially at that age.
And I remember, you know, we were we had a
call the other day with the with the Tiffany Mayo
Thompson who's one of the teachers there. She's a teacher
I alluded to that had been there uh for you know,
thirty years. Uh And they said, you know, the community
has reached out, not only in in in Logan, but
(34:02):
I'm talking about Charleston Hunt, everybody around the states. This
is what West Virginias do. When they saw the story,
they read about, they heard it on the air, they
reached out. They said, we want to help. They wanted
to do cash, you want to do checks, what ben
Mo whatever. Well, they can't really do that being a
being a school and then the school system is not
you know, permitted to do that. And we don't want
(34:25):
to take the cash, okay. So that's why we team
with Union Mission and they'll be on site. Jason and
the crew will be actually on site at Logan, Bank
of Trust, Fountain Play Small and if you're good from
that area, everage you said, everybody knows where it is,
but if you're not, if you're going down the corridor
past South Ridge, whatever, and you're heading into Logan Fountain,
play Small is over to the left. The Logan Bank
(34:45):
of Trust is at the entrance. There's a McDonald's there, Walmart,
Bob Evans.
Speaker 7 (34:50):
Sparthon Gas, Tarathon Gas, there's a Bils this dollar tree.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Uh, it's all. It's all right there in one location.
And big props to Gary Wilson and folks at Logan
Bank and Trust because I've known literally Gary since he
was a kid my grandparents. That's why I love West Virginia.
And this is a Logan story, but it could happen
wherever you are. Gary's Gary grew up beside my grandparents,
and so i'm literally him a couple of years older
(35:16):
than he is, but I'm little. And I called Gary yesterday.
Who is the I think the title is like Chief
Financial Officer of idea.
Speaker 7 (35:22):
I think he said VP and Chief Operating Officer something
like something fancy something, some title you and I will
never have.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Uh.
Speaker 13 (35:29):
And it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Call Gary and I just said hey, and he goes absolutely,
come down.
Speaker 7 (35:33):
Well and talk about a butt for the grace of
God situation and West Virginians are very good with this.
When I was talking with the recovering missus real as
I like to politely call my ex wife, she is
a teacher of thirty years and she was just rocked
back on the idea of everything that was in her
room could be wiped out.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
And you know, they're they're they're.
Speaker 7 (35:55):
Always negative people who want to who want to natter
about the idea of well, you know, where is this
going and mouth feastings, and you know, every accusation is
really a confession of what they would do.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
So the idea to have a.
Speaker 7 (36:07):
Partner with integrity like Gary from Logan Bank and Trust,
to step up and say yes, absolutely, come down here,
we would love to be a part of this is
just a great example Jason saying what what can we do?
Speaker 5 (36:18):
What do you need?
Speaker 7 (36:19):
Do I need to bring the truck? Do I need
to bring the tent? So many people have already stepped
up to help us, help our friends and.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Neighbors and what And I'll just kind of give you
the lay of the land. What if you're familiar with
that area on Middleburg Island in Logan, you have Logan
High School, you have Logan Middle School, and you have
Logan Elementary School. Logan Elementary School is the largest elementary
school in the county. What they are going to do
is they have some room available at Logan Middle School,
and so they're going to those kids more than likely.
(36:47):
And I know the news team did an interview with
the communications director of Logan County Schools. They said, they're
probably those kids are not going to get back in
that school this year. I mean we're already in almost
to March, and so they're going to transition those kids
into some empty spaces at Logan Middle School. That'll give
them the rest of this year and the summer to
hopefully get the school ready for next year.
Speaker 11 (37:07):
It was a.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
It was a devastating fire from damage and those folks
that have been around fire, no it's not Sometimes it's
not about the fire. It's about the water and the
smoke and everything that goes with it.
Speaker 7 (37:17):
So Jay Red will probably burst through and get mad
at me for telling the story, but it relates my
office area upstairs, my less nessman office needed to have
some recovery work done, some mitigation done. Now there was
no fire, there was no emergency and it's a very small.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Point to the Mexican restaurant.
Speaker 7 (37:37):
Again, didn't he Yes, that Eric and I upstairs in
our area had to be done. It took I'm not exaggerating.
It took more than two months for that work in
that small space to get done. I'm not beaten up
on anybody.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Sure, I'm telling you that.
Speaker 7 (37:51):
I'm telling you that so that I can tell you
for a small office space that holds two people, it
took that long. Now we need to mitigate an entire
elementary school. It's gonna be a minute before they get
into school, is I mean?
Speaker 2 (38:04):
I'm gonna guess that school was probably built in the
nineteen fifties, nineteen sixty. Virtually every school I see in
West Virginia, and it's a product a lot of the
fifties and they all look the same. You know, Say
what you will.
Speaker 7 (38:17):
That fifties institutional architecture was incredibly efficient. They could put
up a lot of schools fast.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
And that's again, and big shout out to Gary and
the folks at Love and Bank of Troust and also
our good buddy Jason Quintrel from Union Mission, because they
they stepped up in a big shout out to you
because you reached out to me, and you know, and
we got a lot of listeners down in that area.
And I got to bring flowers for one more person though.
Speaker 11 (38:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (38:43):
Absolutely, and that's Shockley from ninety eight seven The Mountain,
Because if not for Shockley, I would not have I
would not have seen the post. I mean I may
have seen it eventually, but he's the one who got
the info to me, and he's like, you're the guy
for this, what can we do?
Speaker 2 (38:58):
Yeah? Yeah, indeed. And so you're going to be taking
your morning show up real early. You'll start here in Charleston,
but you're going to kind of transition to Logan starting
at eight eight eight until noon next till day yep,
and you'll be there and Union Mission will be there.
I think what they're doing at Logan Elementary School is there.
As I said, they're transitioning to students and staff over
to Logan Middle School. But that's not going to happen
(39:19):
for like for a couple of days because they kind
of got to get them there. They got to have
an origent. I mean, you know, you take little kids,
you know, kindergarten, first graders and you're now you're going
to throw them into a middle school. It can be
a little bit intimidating, so and they're not going to
be like with with all the other kids. But still
it's a pretty much bigger school than what they're used to,
so there's going to be a little learning there.
Speaker 7 (39:38):
Kids are very resilient. In twenty years they will be
telling this as a great story. But the logistics alone
in get it, in picking up what is in elementary
school and integrating it into a middle school and try
to make it as seamless as possible for all the
students of both schools.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
It's a herculean effort. Okay, so people are listening to
us right now. They can't go down there, you know,
their work and whatever. Are we going to try to
get something? So people here could help as well.
Speaker 7 (40:03):
If you want to see Penelope at the front desk,
I have already warned her that's what we call Tracy
for fun, our gatekeeper and director of first impressions and such.
If you swing by the radio station in the next
few days, if you can't make it down to us
on Tuesday. She has happily agreed because she loves helping
as much as everybody else to take in those items
(40:25):
and make sure we get them to logan elementary. If
you want to do financial between now and then, I
recommend going straight to Union Mission we feed people dot
com because they have all the mechanisms in place for
that and they will be drawing on their emergency fund.
This is what Jason tells me to fill in the
(40:48):
blanks with. Once we have all the things that we
get donated, then they'll be able to take the financial
contributions and.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
Fill in the rest of the blanks. All right. And
again we have a list of the items that they're
looking for on the Superstar Country KWS Facebook page, so
you can go on there and you take a look
at it. And again we'll probably probably have you on
the show Tuesday while you're there, so say hello to
my people.
Speaker 7 (41:12):
I will do it, and I can already count the
number of people. Well, I won't be able to count
the number of people who will come and say good
things or other things about Dave Allen. All Right, Rob

Sports and News team is here. Good morning, sir, Good morning.
(44:48):
All right, So the regionals Fred and I talked about
the Metro News Midday a couple of days ago. The
region regional pairings were announced. Some folks associated from fans
staff whatever a Capit High School not happy? What's the story?
Speaker 5 (45:02):
They're not?
Speaker 12 (45:02):
So.
Speaker 13 (45:03):
Capital is in Class Triple A Region three, which, if
you're not familiar with how high school sports are broken
down in West Virginia, you've got four classes, You've got
regions within the classes, and that's how you handle your playoffs.
You have your region tournament. The top two teams from
your region tournament go to the state tournament. Capital is
in Class Triple A Region three. There are eight teams
(45:23):
in that group and for the postseason, the coaches rank
every team but their own one through seven, and then
the seeding is based off of that Capital who has
spent most of the season ranked number one of the
Metro Who's Powerpool. I have a sneaking suspicion that's going
to be different today because they lost to Chapmanville earlier
this week. But Capitol has been the number one team
in the state, at least according to Metro and is
(45:44):
most of the year. They're the sixth seed in their
own region. So what has happened is Ronnie Olsen, who's
the head coach at Shady Spring, said a couple of
weeks ago that he was sure how things were going
to go for Capital when it comes to their seating
because their regular season schedule doesn't include any of their
(46:07):
regional opponents. Now, there's no rules from the SSAC that
require you to play your regional opponents, but Capital hasn't
played anybody within their regent and Ronnie Olsen said, well,
how are we going to rate him against the other
teams in the region. Now you can take that comment
at phase value, or you could look into it a
little bit more. But four of the other seven coaches,
(46:29):
including Shady s brings Ronnie Olsen, rated Capital seventh of
seven in the region. We're talking about the number one
team in the state for most of the year, and
because four of the other coaches rated them seventh, the
other three rated them first.
Speaker 2 (46:44):
They end up with the sixth seed in the region tournament.
It's it's the optics. I mean, I'm not jumping in
and I'm not. I mean, I think you have some audio.
Speaker 12 (46:55):
Were we do.
Speaker 13 (46:56):
John Anderson, the president at Capitol High was on the
sports line lie last night, and I hate it hold back,
that's for sure.
Speaker 5 (47:04):
I'm going to call it like I see it. It's
collusion Greenbrier, East Princeton, Fight View and Shady Spring. Now
there was talk coach Olsen, I believe, with Shady Spring
about how this was going to happen. The SSAC advised
those people to be professional and vote in the way
that they felt the team should be ranked, but they
(47:24):
didn't do so.
Speaker 8 (47:26):
So there you go.
Speaker 13 (47:27):
That's the principal of Capitol High School. Capital is eighteen
and four at this point, and there's really no reason
that you shouldn't be looking at that as one of
not only the best teams in that region, but one
of the best teams in the state of West Virginia.
But now there is this controversy because those four schools,
(47:47):
as mentioned, Shady Spring, Greenbriar, East, Pike View, and Princeton
voted them seventh of seven in that region, so they
drop all the way to the sixth seed, and now
we'll go on the road to Greenbrier East in the
first round.
Speaker 2 (48:01):
All right, So what I mean, is there any recourse
that Capitol has in this or other than just go
like Jeff and I were talking about earlier, just go win.
Speaker 13 (48:10):
Yeah, I means to the point as it stands today,
there is nothing that can be done. If you're up
by forty make it forty five. You said it, not me,
I don't care. Yeah, but that's really all they can
do is go win the games. And I have a
feeling that that's gonna be the mindset at Capital. That
(48:30):
is a program that typically when you give Capital bulletin
board material, things don't go well for you. And I
don't necessarily think that that is going to change in
this circumstance, because this is a team that was rated
number one in the in the state for as long
as they were for a good reason. This is a
very good basketball team, and even playing on the road,
(48:52):
they're going to have a puncher's chance and in a
lot of ways be favored really no matter who they play.
Speaker 6 (48:59):
DJ Meadows who a weigh in on this. What does
this say about those coaches? Those coaches are hired to
mold young men.
Speaker 2 (49:08):
What does this say?
Speaker 6 (49:09):
What does this teach those young men? Teaches them how
to be Caddy, teaches them that this is how you
deal with your problems rather than taking the high road,
the honest road entirely. Well, just completely.
Speaker 2 (49:25):
What about the argument, though, Daniel, what about the argument
that has been made from the other coaches saying that,
look they didn't I mean, you have you have a schedule,
you got a follow but they played outside the region.
What to that argument?
Speaker 13 (49:36):
Well, what I would say is, and this is something
that was brought up last night by John Anderson as well.
Capital was just moved down from Class Quade this year,
and these schedules are made one, two, sometimes three years
in advance, and he said, our schedule was mostly set
coming into this year because they're members of the Mountain
State Athletic Conference. They have eleven conference games locked in
(50:00):
every year, no matter what, that's half your regular season schedule.
They went and played three games on a road trip
in Ohio. They've played some teams in bigger classes, and frankly,
I don't blame them, because with the way the regional
structure works in West Virginia, sometimes you end up with
quote unquote regions that are pretty broad. Ye, you're talking
about a Capital team that, yes, Herbert Hoover and Ripley
(50:22):
are in their region, and by all means, Capitol should
probably be playing Herbert Hoover and Ripley if they're in
their region. But if I'm Cookie Miller, who's the head
coach at Capitol, why would I drive ninety minutes to
two hours to Princeton with a bunch of high school
boys on a Wednesday night when I can go play
Hurricane or when I can go play Huntington.
Speaker 2 (50:42):
That's the thing.
Speaker 13 (50:43):
The SSAC does not require teams to play regional opponents
to be able to play in the postseason. So Capital
hasn't broken any rules, but they're still being penalized for it.
Speaker 6 (50:54):
Daniel, can I ask a question, just for the data,
where did Capital fall in the Metro Newspower Index versus
these the teams.
Speaker 2 (51:01):
Compared to the others.
Speaker 13 (51:02):
I don't know off hand, Capital, for I would say
three quarters of the season has been number one in
that poll.
Speaker 2 (51:07):
I rest my case. Thank you, teach Metals. Daniel Woods.
You'll be back with me later day on Metro News
Midday for the Sports Blitz. Getting is ready for a

morning and happy Friday.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Friday, indeed, and I appreciate you making time for me
on this Friday and sounds busy today.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Listen to me. Listen to me, girl, you starting to
show every Friday. Okay, it all works around you. This
slot has been for the not me Please Pet of
the Week for the last several years. And I don't
care what happens. We do a pet giveaway on Friday
or an adoption of Friday at nine oh seven. You
can count on it, all right, even.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
If Coach Kid wants the spot too.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
And do we really need to go there, Angie with
your crush on Coach Kid?
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Board?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
All right? So, uh, we have a cat this week.
His name is Bubbles. Tell us about Bubbles.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
So Bubbles is a pretty new resident to our shelter.
He came in on Wednesday, and when I walked into
our admissions room, I was blown away at how giant.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
This cat is.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
He's fifteen pounds and he looks every bit of it
in the nicest way possible. He's neutered, He's very sweet.
He loved wet food as you can imagine, and he
also just loves for you to sit there and pet him.
He's currently calling pet coo south Ridge location home. So
if you're in the area, definitely stop buy and see
(04:14):
for yourself and see if I'm lying to you about
how big this cat is. And also stop buy and
say hi to him. He's the sweetest little cat ever, neutered, vaccinated,
ready to roll when you are.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
So so he's picked up as a strength, Is that right?
Speaker 6 (04:28):
Or so?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
The South Charleston Humane officer had brought him in. His
owner had actually brought him to the police department in
South Charleston and said that she just could no longer
care for things in her life had changed. So did
the right thing by you know, taking him somewhere rather
than dumping him on the streets. So his circumstances changed.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
We'll say that, okay, And it happens. It happens so frequently.
So again, Bubbles is our pedal the week. Picture posted
Dave Allen Radio on Facebook, also the WHS network page
and also at Dave a seventy on X and A
Bubble seems I could be a fantastic captains but already
ready to go. I mean newter vaccinated, and you said
seems to be friend. I wonder did the owner, I
(05:10):
know you didn't talk to them. I wondered if the
owner said how Bubbles would do with other cats or
but but you may not know that.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
I think Bubbles lived with other cats. If what I
heard from the South Charleston he made officer was correct,
he did live with other cats, so I think he
would do fine. Cats are dramatic though, in the first
couple of days of meeting. Oh yeah, cats, Oh you know,
you got to get past that little rough patch and
then they're fine.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Well, if you're looking for a great looking cat, he's
a big old boy, as you said, I mean he
used to maybe go the a Zimpek route. But he's
a he's a he's a good sized feller. Bubbles is
his name. Picture posted Dave Island Radio on Facebook and
at Dave A seventy on x and also the WHS
Network Facebook page as well. It's going to be a
great weekend, you guys gonna be out and about anywhere.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
We actually did all our traveling this week. I'm going
to places, so so nothing this weekend, but we did
have a pretty busy week with.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Off side of it, all right, what you have going
on this week?
Speaker 4 (06:06):
So we went to Bridge Valley yesterday talked about volunteer
opportunities for those students that are going there and if
they need community service hours for their program, because we
are once again in desperate need of volunteers. And we
are actually at a City National Bank location today with
an optible puppies and hopefully kittens if we have any
(06:27):
They which location?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Which? Which location?
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Angie Glasgow? All right? So the City National Glasgow? Okay,
make sure that you stop mind seeing there. And of
course we're still talking about tuxes and tails. Your big
events Saturday night, April twenty fifth, seven o'clock at jq
Diickets and Saltworks there in Malden. It's going to be
a great night, but you need to get you tickets
as soon as possible.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Yeah, they are sewing out quickly. Last week when I
spoke with our director of development, she said that over
half the tickets.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Had been sold.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
So if you want to go, get those tickets now.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yeah, and they're information is available on their Facebook page
and also at the website as well. The Dave Alan
Show on five any Live has brought you in part
by a Husband's Pizza, where this month get a large
et ditch Pepperoni pizza and a Pepperoni cow Zone twenty
one ninety nine. Find your local husbands for pickup, dining,
or delivery at Husbandspizza dot com. I want to talk
about real quickly here, Angie, A win for humanity and
(07:20):
the animals we all love. We told you last fall
that there was an animal cruelty case in Dunbar. The
owner from what I understand, the owner was found guilty
on four accounts of animal cruelty and neglect. Big props
to the Dunbar Police Department and also the prosecutor's office
here in Kanawha County. What more can you tell us
(07:41):
about that? I know you posted about it on your
social media That's where I got it, So what more
can you tell us about that?
Speaker 4 (07:47):
So the case itself is not quite over yet. There's
one more hurdle that we have to jump in order
for us to you know, can obtain full custody of
the dog, free home them and get all that so
that I can share. I can also share the fact
that the prosecutor for this case was more than what
(08:09):
we could have imagined for you know, a defendant of
animal welfare that I'll just say that all of our
staff that were you know, a part of this case
and testified on behalf of these dogs could not talk
kindly enough and like just wonderfully enough about how this
entire situation was handled and how the outlook is looking
(08:30):
as of right now. So a big, big, big win
for animal cruelty laws and you know, people being held
accountable for you know, violating those laws.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
What what can you tell us? I know you said
it's not completely over, and you just tell me what
you're allowed to say. What can you tell us specifically,
because it's been a couple months since we talked about,
what can you tell us about that case? I'd have
done bar.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
So there were three four Great Danes, very giant Great
Danes in this house. They were not given access to
fresh food, water, and they were extremely underweight for the
breed standard of a Great Dane. We're talking like at
least fifty pounds underweight. So that is what I can
(09:14):
share thus far, and hopefully once the case is settled,
we can get into more of the details. Hopefully next
week I'll be coming back with more details and that
very happy.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Ending for all these thoughts. Awesome, awesome, and again a
big shout out to a prosecutor at deb Rusnick and
the people of her office and also, as she said,
the Dunbar Police Department as well for helping out. We
had a text here similar lines. I guess we've been
telling you a story of Stubs and somebody wanted to
know if we have any updates on the Stubs story.
Speaker 7 (09:45):
I have not.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Personally received any updates on Stubs. I have been reaching
out to our manager of the Humane Officers and Cruelty Cases,
et cetera for updates on that. There's nothing really that's
new developmental for this case specifically, pretty much the update
still stands at you know, we have a potential owner
(10:06):
of Stubbs that you know, said that someone had stolen
him from her and would not give him back. That
is about as far as we've gotten with with his
case in particular.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Okay, and again, this was the dog we've been telling
you about, that is we believe was thrown from a car,
possibly shot or definitely shot, possibly thrown from a car,
and somebody showed up at the shelter with the with
with this dog and we we don't know a whole
lot what the circumstances were. Your medical crew was able
(10:37):
to ascertain that that's pretty much what happened. You were
attempting to do surgery and the little guys just his
body just couldn't handle it, and you eventually had to
put him down. So it's a tragic, tragic case, and
hopefully we can get to the bottom of it and
maybe have something like what we did in this dunbar
case that looks like that's the direction that that that
that it's heading, and we can we can get some
(10:59):
justice here for Still, what do you need of at
the shelter right now, Angie?
Speaker 4 (11:04):
So we are having cats and kittens trickle in to
our shelter very quickly. I just got a message this
morning that said there are possibly fifteen cats coming from
one place today. So we are in need of cat
food here in a catchow wet cat food, any brand,
kitty litter, and bleach we've had. You know, the shelter
(11:24):
is a pretty dirty place, so bleach helps us keep
both animals and people safe with you know, all the
germs that are there. So bleach is another big one.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
All right, excuse me, Angie, I appreciate you being here
as always, and we will talk soon. Hopefully we'll have
some more updates on those cruelty cases we talked about
with them. Maybe we can have that for you next week.
Appreciate you being here. Thanks a lot, no problem, have

designed to pay tribute to what they call trailblazers, change
makers and empowerment role models. Now awards are going to
be given out three Women of Achievement Awards, a Woman
to Watch Award, and the Empowerment Award being given. The

(16:39):
This morning the Jeric Construction City is good morning, welcome
to the show.
Speaker 11 (16:42):
Good morning, Thank you for having me, thank you for
being here.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
So congratulations on this award.
Speaker 11 (16:47):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
All right, so tell me your story, tell me how
you get involved in this whole thing, and we'll break
it down from there.
Speaker 11 (16:53):
Well, I started out as a domestic violence advocate for
a Resolve, move up to an outreach specialist which is
still for Resolved domestic violence, and now I am their
community engagement manager for the YW Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Now, I know that obviously it's a job. But you
don't go into something or specialize in something like domestic
violence as you did, if you don't have a passion
for it.
Speaker 11 (17:21):
No, I definitely have a passion. I'm also a survivor, okay,
and so it's something dear to my heart.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I don't want to step on the toes here. Do
you want to tell some of your story? If you don't,
that's perfectly fine.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
No.
Speaker 11 (17:34):
No, I like to say I'm from that era or
from that age group that we didn't speak about things,
We kept it hidden, And so I was a victim
at one point and I didn't know how to reach
out for help. Eventually I came into some strong women
(17:57):
later for a different situation and happen to work for
the Why, and I always remembered how they treated me
and how they treated my family, and I thought I
would like to help too. Who knew that that would
come true.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
It's amazing to me to Mika when you find people
that have a passion for public service in whether it's this,
I mean, anybody that's in the recovery community will tell
you that the best people that do the best things
in the recovery community are people that themselves were addicts
at one point because they because they know the story
(18:38):
and they speak the language. And you being brave enough
to tell your story, you know when when these when
you were dealing with these with these folks, and I
don't I mean, men are victims of domestic violence.
Speaker 11 (18:50):
Yes they are, Yes they are.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
That's something people really don't like.
Speaker 11 (18:53):
To talk grace. They men get left out, but they
are victims and we deal with men as well. One
of our shelters we do not discriminate. So we taken
men just as well as women, Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
And and my point in saying that is is that
sometimes when you reach out for help, you know, people
may have they may have a degree, or they may
have whatever, and they got skills and they want to help,
but you ain't been there.
Speaker 11 (19:18):
You haven't been there yet, Yeah, because it's very humbling
for someone to even reach out for help.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
And you can put your arm around one of these
ladies or men and just say, look, I know because
I've been there, and I do.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
I do.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I'm sure you do. Now you're being honored with some
other pretty heavy hitters here in Kanau Valley. Nancy Bruns,
Susie Salisbaron and Susie very Well and Adrian Worthy will
be given the Women of Achievement Awards. Samantha Nigert, who
is a frequent guest of this show with our work
with part of the West Side Neighborhood Association, They're all
going to be awarded alongside you. It's pretty heavy hitters there.
Speaker 11 (19:55):
Yeah, those are amazing, amazing women.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
So what do you do on a daily base? I mean,
in order to I mean, we talked about the domestic
violence but what is it that you do with the organization.
What are the other things that you do.
Speaker 11 (20:07):
I spread awareness, I spread awareness, I go out and
do outreach. I try to get donations, volunteers. So I'm
just wherever they need me to be, doing whatever they
need me to do in the community.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
And I want to talk about that need for volunteers. Yes,
because because when I was talking to you in the
green room and I said something about we'll just talking
about and you said the word volunteers, and you just
lit up, because because you need volunteers. Talk about the
neighbor volunteers we do.
Speaker 11 (20:38):
We need volunteers. We have so many different programs and
sometimes people can't give money, and that's okay, but maybe
you can give time. Maybe you can come out and
you have a skill. You can paint something, or teach
our seniors how to crochet, or read a book to
(20:58):
our children. We definitely could use volunteers plan a garden.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
And these are all parts of of of the YWCS.
Speaker 11 (21:06):
And we have so many different programs. We take care
of seniors, our unhoused families, are domestic violence guests. We
have court advocacy, We have pasted in present where that's
our thrift shop, and we dress our clients as well
as let them come in there and shop.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Now, where's the where's the gift show?
Speaker 11 (21:27):
You know on Elizabeth Street? Okay, it's pasted in presents,
like right across the street from the Board of Education.
We came missing, No exactly where you can? I always
call me and I'll walk you to it. We also
take donations for that as well.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
All right, I want to get into that. All right,
So people listen to us right now. This is you know,
we're finally the winter maybe is getting behind us once
we get through Apparently Sunday night into Monday, so people
may be doing some spring cleaning and they got some
stuff that then we're not We don't want you junk.
We don't mean that, but I mean some things that
you want to that you want to get rid of
and that other people could use. Talk about that.
Speaker 11 (21:59):
Yeah, So if you want to come out and donate clothing, shoes.
Sometimes people forget sometimes when you're on a run or
you leave a bad situation. These women and men they
leave with nothing. So sometimes in the middle of the
night they have nothing but what they have on. So
not only do we provide housing for them when they're ready.
(22:23):
We try to get their housing filled with items like
a coffee maker, a couch, a bed sheets, towels, even
hygiene products. So we take everything that you can think of.
We also are one of the only pet shelters that
have pets. Okay, cool, So we also take donations for
that as well.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
And I've heard a lot of stories, Tamika about that
with people. I mean, because I'm an animal person, you know,
and there are people that have said, well, I want
to get out of the situation, or if it's not
domestic violence, I want to try to better my situation.
But I got my dog, I got my cat, and
I can't. But so you guys are okay with that,
or you'll work with them.
Speaker 11 (23:01):
Yes, now, our domestic violence shelter, we do have a
pet shelter there, Okay, So we do have and it
was for that situation. Women are men. They're like, I
can't leave because I don't have anywhere for my animal
to go, and they're allowed to stay there with them.
So we also need cat food, dog food. We've had
a chicken at one time.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
A chicken that was someone's pet. I need to hear
this story.
Speaker 11 (23:25):
I don't really, I just know the chicken was there
and it was someone's pet, because we don't judge.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
All right, there you go, Ryan, that's promo material right there.
We had a chicken somebody somebody showed up. I'm resisting
the bad dad joke type pun about like, you know,
was it foul play or something like that. But I'm
not going to do that. I'm not going to exactly. Yeah,
he's the one I do there. I get paid to
talk on the radio, not to tell jokes. All right.

Logan Elementary School in my native land down in Logan County,
(26:13):
and the fire did not destroy the entire school, but
it did quite a bit of damage to things that
can't easily be replaced. Years and years of mementos and
teachers that had been teaching there for decades and they
lost things. So the community down there is really really
rally trying to help out. And when Rob saw the story,
(26:33):
Rob came to me and basically said, Hey, you're from Logan.
What can we do here? I said, well, I know

Fishing Hunting, an outdoor sports show presented by can Am,
turned to Myland Park in Morgantown, Saturday and Sunday, March
seventh and eighth, Folks, this is a big event. I've
been up there for several years. Over one hundred thousand
square feet of everything outdoors, over two hundred vendors, all
(29:10):
in one spot. Complete details WV Outdoor Sports Show dot Com,

Big Le Pigli Wiggly Hotline three zero four three four
five fifty eight fifty eight. Tony B. Taylor Text three
zero four nine three five five zero zero eights. So
last Saturday morning, there was a devastating fire. As I
(29:32):
told you earlier, Logan elementary school school not destroyed, but
a lot of smoke, a lot of water damage, books destroyed,
gym equipment. One teacher that I know there had posted
on social media. I mean she was a teacher at
that school for thirty years, and as I mentioned earlier,
you could imagine the type things that a teacher will
(29:52):
collect being in one, maybe two classrooms in a thirty
year career. Many of those things cannot simply cannot be replaced.
But we're going to try, at least with some rob
real from her sister Station ninety six to one KWS
is here now to talk about what we can do
to help Rob. Good morning and welcome to the show.
Good morning.
Speaker 7 (30:11):
I'm glad you started with the good news that no
one was injured, thank goodness, and the structure is going
to be fine. They'll be able to get back into
the school, probably not until the start of the next
year because well, clean up it is a lot, but
virtually everything inside, all the stuff has been it's a
(30:32):
complete loss because of fire, smoke and then water damage
from putting out the fire or fire suppression systems. So
what we learned when we reached out because the cost
of doing this business of show, we get to do
a lot of cool stuff, but the balance to that
is we take care of our friends and neighbors. We
(30:54):
give back, We help every opportunity we could. And when
we heard about this, we knew that Superstar catcherade out
Et six one K had to jump in and do something,
and so we wanted to do one of our drop
events and we wanted to take it on the road.
So we're going to go down to Logan on Tuesday
from eight until noon at Logan Bank and Trust. Right
(31:15):
there in Fountain Plaza. You can see it from corrid
orgy right by the light. If you already live in
that part of the world, you're probably stopping there for gas, coffee,
maybe a sit down breakfast.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
There are lots of places. There are lots of shopping
places there too. What we learned when we.
Speaker 7 (31:30):
Reached out is that the efforts to get supplies, so
pencils and notebooks and crayons, that's going really well. And
we learned that the efforts to get books back in
the hands of our young readers, everybody from beginning readers
to chapter books, that that's going pretty well. There are
(31:51):
a couple of book drives that are underway. The big
need we learned about that wasn't being met is for
items that fuel play, recess and phizzed classes and indoor
educational activities, indoor educational play. So we basically decided, well,
(32:11):
that's what we're gonna do. The folks there got us
a list together. Thank you to Tiffany and everybody at
Logan Elementary. If you go to the ninety six to
one KWUS Facebook page, you will see our.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Let's get the play back to Logan Elementary.
Speaker 7 (32:25):
You'll see the big poster of what we're doing and
then underneath in the comments a long list of items
that are needed, everything from sports balls to sidewalk chalk,
building blocks, kinetic sand. They're even little manipulatives like you
don't think of mister Potatohead necessarily as being an educational toy,
(32:46):
But not only is it, there's basic anatomy to that,
but there's also motor skills being taught when kids use
those sorts of things. So lots of opportunities on that
list for you to donate something. And if you're somebody
who is in a hurry, you can't go to one
of the dozen stores that are there at Fountain Plaza
(33:08):
to pick something up that's on the list cash and
check donations because the school can't do that directly. Yeah,
our friends from Union Mission, Jason jumped in immediately and said, yes,
we can be your third party intercessor we can help
make that happen. So even if you just want to
you know, you're in a hurry, you're going you were
a you were you bank at Logan Bank Addrust and
(33:28):
you want to make a withdraw and put it right
into the hands of Union Mission. We can take care
of that too, But kind of a mini drop your
drop your toys. I don't want to use the word toys, yew.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Educational stuff, yeah, I mean it is and is such
an important part of kids' education, especially at that age.
And I remember, you know, we were we had a
call the other day with the with the Tiffany Mayo
Thompson who's one of the teachers there. She's a teacher
I alluded to that had been there uh for you know,
thirty years. Uh And they said, you know, the community
has reached out, not only in in in Logan, but
(34:02):
I'm talking about Charleston Hunt, everybody around the states. This
is what West Virginias do. When they saw the story,
they read about, they heard it on the air, they
reached out. They said, we want to help. They wanted
to do cash, you want to do checks, what ben
Mo whatever. Well, they can't really do that being a
being a school and then the school system is not
you know, permitted to do that. And we don't want
(34:25):
to take the cash, okay. So that's why we team
with Union Mission and they'll be on site. Jason and
the crew will be actually on site at Logan, Bank
of Trust, Fountain Play Small and if you're good from
that area, everage you said, everybody knows where it is,
but if you're not, if you're going down the corridor
past South Ridge, whatever, and you're heading into Logan Fountain,
play Small is over to the left. The Logan Bank
(34:45):
of Trust is at the entrance. There's a McDonald's there, Walmart,
Bob Evans.
Speaker 7 (34:50):
Sparthon Gas, Tarathon Gas, there's a Bils this dollar tree.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Uh, it's all. It's all right there in one location.
And big props to Gary Wilson and folks at Logan
Bank and Trust because I've known literally Gary since he
was a kid my grandparents. That's why I love West Virginia.
And this is a Logan story, but it could happen
wherever you are. Gary's Gary grew up beside my grandparents,
and so i'm literally him a couple of years older
(35:16):
than he is, but I'm little. And I called Gary yesterday.
Who is the I think the title is like Chief
Financial Officer of idea.
Speaker 7 (35:22):
I think he said VP and Chief Operating Officer something
like something fancy something, some title you and I will
never have.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Uh.
Speaker 13 (35:29):
And it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Call Gary and I just said hey, and he goes absolutely,
come down.
Speaker 7 (35:33):
Well and talk about a butt for the grace of
God situation and West Virginians are very good with this.
When I was talking with the recovering missus real as
I like to politely call my ex wife, she is
a teacher of thirty years and she was just rocked
back on the idea of everything that was in her
room could be wiped out.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
And you know, they're they're they're.
Speaker 7 (35:55):
Always negative people who want to who want to natter
about the idea of well, you know, where is this
going and mouth feastings, and you know, every accusation is
really a confession of what they would do.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
So the idea to have a.
Speaker 7 (36:07):
Partner with integrity like Gary from Logan Bank and Trust,
to step up and say yes, absolutely, come down here,
we would love to be a part of this is
just a great example Jason saying what what can we do?
Speaker 5 (36:18):
What do you need?
Speaker 7 (36:19):
Do I need to bring the truck? Do I need
to bring the tent? So many people have already stepped
up to help us, help our friends and.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Neighbors and what And I'll just kind of give you
the lay of the land. What if you're familiar with
that area on Middleburg Island in Logan, you have Logan
High School, you have Logan Middle School, and you have
Logan Elementary School. Logan Elementary School is the largest elementary
school in the county. What they are going to do
is they have some room available at Logan Middle School,
and so they're going to those kids more than likely.
(36:47):
And I know the news team did an interview with
the communications director of Logan County Schools. They said, they're
probably those kids are not going to get back in
that school this year. I mean we're already in almost
to March, and so they're going to transition those kids
into some empty spaces at Logan Middle School. That'll give
them the rest of this year and the summer to
hopefully get the school ready for next year.
Speaker 11 (37:07):
It was a.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
It was a devastating fire from damage and those folks
that have been around fire, no it's not Sometimes it's
not about the fire. It's about the water and the
smoke and everything that goes with it.
Speaker 7 (37:17):
So Jay Red will probably burst through and get mad
at me for telling the story, but it relates my
office area upstairs, my less nessman office needed to have
some recovery work done, some mitigation done. Now there was
no fire, there was no emergency and it's a very small.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Point to the Mexican restaurant.
Speaker 7 (37:37):
Again, didn't he Yes, that Eric and I upstairs in
our area had to be done. It took I'm not exaggerating.
It took more than two months for that work in
that small space to get done. I'm not beaten up
on anybody.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Sure, I'm telling you that.
Speaker 7 (37:51):
I'm telling you that so that I can tell you
for a small office space that holds two people, it
took that long. Now we need to mitigate an entire
elementary school. It's gonna be a minute before they get
into school, is I mean?
Speaker 2 (38:04):
I'm gonna guess that school was probably built in the
nineteen fifties, nineteen sixty. Virtually every school I see in
West Virginia, and it's a product a lot of the
fifties and they all look the same. You know, Say
what you will.
Speaker 7 (38:17):
That fifties institutional architecture was incredibly efficient. They could put
up a lot of schools fast.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
And that's again, and big shout out to Gary and
the folks at Love and Bank of Troust and also
our good buddy Jason Quintrel from Union Mission, because they
they stepped up in a big shout out to you
because you reached out to me, and you know, and
we got a lot of listeners down in that area.
And I got to bring flowers for one more person though.
Speaker 11 (38:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (38:43):
Absolutely, and that's Shockley from ninety eight seven The Mountain,
Because if not for Shockley, I would not have I
would not have seen the post. I mean I may
have seen it eventually, but he's the one who got
the info to me, and he's like, you're the guy
for this, what can we do?
Speaker 2 (38:58):
Yeah? Yeah, indeed. And so you're going to be taking
your morning show up real early. You'll start here in Charleston,
but you're going to kind of transition to Logan starting
at eight eight eight until noon next till day yep,
and you'll be there and Union Mission will be there.
I think what they're doing at Logan Elementary School is there.
As I said, they're transitioning to students and staff over
to Logan Middle School. But that's not going to happen
(39:19):
for like for a couple of days because they kind
of got to get them there. They got to have
an origent. I mean, you know, you take little kids,
you know, kindergarten, first graders and you're now you're going
to throw them into a middle school. It can be
a little bit intimidating, so and they're not going to
be like with with all the other kids. But still
it's a pretty much bigger school than what they're used to,
so there's going to be a little learning there.
Speaker 7 (39:38):
Kids are very resilient. In twenty years they will be
telling this as a great story. But the logistics alone
in get it, in picking up what is in elementary
school and integrating it into a middle school and try
to make it as seamless as possible for all the
students of both schools.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
It's a herculean effort. Okay, so people are listening to
us right now. They can't go down there, you know,
their work and whatever. Are we going to try to
get something? So people here could help as well.
Speaker 7 (40:03):
If you want to see Penelope at the front desk,
I have already warned her that's what we call Tracy
for fun, our gatekeeper and director of first impressions and such.
If you swing by the radio station in the next
few days, if you can't make it down to us
on Tuesday. She has happily agreed because she loves helping
as much as everybody else to take in those items
(40:25):
and make sure we get them to logan elementary. If
you want to do financial between now and then, I
recommend going straight to Union Mission we feed people dot
com because they have all the mechanisms in place for
that and they will be drawing on their emergency fund.
This is what Jason tells me to fill in the
(40:48):
blanks with. Once we have all the things that we
get donated, then they'll be able to take the financial
contributions and.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
Fill in the rest of the blanks. All right. And
again we have a list of the items that they're
looking for on the Superstar Country KWS Facebook page, so
you can go on there and you take a look
at it. And again we'll probably probably have you on
the show Tuesday while you're there, so say hello to
my people.
Speaker 7 (41:12):
I will do it, and I can already count the
number of people. Well, I won't be able to count
the number of people who will come and say good
things or other things about Dave Allen. All Right, Rob

Sports and News team is here. Good morning, sir, Good morning.
(44:48):
All right, So the regionals Fred and I talked about
the Metro News Midday a couple of days ago. The
region regional pairings were announced. Some folks associated from fans
staff whatever a Capit High School not happy? What's the story?
Speaker 5 (45:02):
They're not?
Speaker 12 (45:02):
So.
Speaker 13 (45:03):
Capital is in Class Triple A Region three, which, if
you're not familiar with how high school sports are broken
down in West Virginia, you've got four classes, You've got
regions within the classes, and that's how you handle your playoffs.
You have your region tournament. The top two teams from
your region tournament go to the state tournament. Capital is
in Class Triple A Region three. There are eight teams
(45:23):
in that group and for the postseason, the coaches rank
every team but their own one through seven, and then
the seeding is based off of that Capital who has
spent most of the season ranked number one of the
Metro Who's Powerpool. I have a sneaking suspicion that's going
to be different today because they lost to Chapmanville earlier
this week. But Capitol has been the number one team
in the state, at least according to Metro and is
(45:44):
most of the year. They're the sixth seed in their
own region. So what has happened is Ronnie Olsen, who's
the head coach at Shady Spring, said a couple of
weeks ago that he was sure how things were going
to go for Capital when it comes to their seating
because their regular season schedule doesn't include any of their
(46:07):
regional opponents. Now, there's no rules from the SSAC that
require you to play your regional opponents, but Capital hasn't
played anybody within their regent and Ronnie Olsen said, well,
how are we going to rate him against the other
teams in the region. Now you can take that comment
at phase value, or you could look into it a
little bit more. But four of the other seven coaches,
(46:29):
including Shady s brings Ronnie Olsen, rated Capital seventh of
seven in the region. We're talking about the number one
team in the state for most of the year, and
because four of the other coaches rated them seventh, the
other three rated them first.
Speaker 2 (46:44):
They end up with the sixth seed in the region tournament.
It's it's the optics. I mean, I'm not jumping in
and I'm not. I mean, I think you have some audio.
Speaker 12 (46:55):
Were we do.
Speaker 13 (46:56):
John Anderson, the president at Capitol High was on the
sports line lie last night, and I hate it hold back,
that's for sure.
Speaker 5 (47:04):
I'm going to call it like I see it. It's
collusion Greenbrier, East Princeton, Fight View and Shady Spring. Now
there was talk coach Olsen, I believe, with Shady Spring
about how this was going to happen. The SSAC advised
those people to be professional and vote in the way
that they felt the team should be ranked, but they
(47:24):
didn't do so.
Speaker 8 (47:26):
So there you go.
Speaker 13 (47:27):
That's the principal of Capitol High School. Capital is eighteen
and four at this point, and there's really no reason
that you shouldn't be looking at that as one of
not only the best teams in that region, but one
of the best teams in the state of West Virginia.
But now there is this controversy because those four schools,
(47:47):
as mentioned, Shady Spring, Greenbriar, East, Pike View, and Princeton
voted them seventh of seven in that region, so they
drop all the way to the sixth seed, and now
we'll go on the road to Greenbrier East in the
first round.
Speaker 2 (48:01):
All right, So what I mean, is there any recourse
that Capitol has in this or other than just go
like Jeff and I were talking about earlier, just go win.
Speaker 13 (48:10):
Yeah, I means to the point as it stands today,
there is nothing that can be done. If you're up
by forty make it forty five. You said it, not me,
I don't care. Yeah, but that's really all they can
do is go win the games. And I have a
feeling that that's gonna be the mindset at Capital. That
(48:30):
is a program that typically when you give Capital bulletin
board material, things don't go well for you. And I
don't necessarily think that that is going to change in
this circumstance, because this is a team that was rated
number one in the in the state for as long
as they were for a good reason. This is a
very good basketball team, and even playing on the road,
(48:52):
they're going to have a puncher's chance and in a
lot of ways be favored really no matter who they play.
Speaker 6 (48:59):
DJ Meadows who a weigh in on this. What does
this say about those coaches? Those coaches are hired to
mold young men.
Speaker 2 (49:08):
What does this say?
Speaker 6 (49:09):
What does this teach those young men? Teaches them how
to be Caddy, teaches them that this is how you
deal with your problems rather than taking the high road,
the honest road entirely. Well, just completely.
Speaker 2 (49:25):
What about the argument, though, Daniel, what about the argument
that has been made from the other coaches saying that,
look they didn't I mean, you have you have a schedule,
you got a follow but they played outside the region.
What to that argument?
Speaker 13 (49:36):
Well, what I would say is, and this is something
that was brought up last night by John Anderson as well.
Capital was just moved down from Class Quade this year,
and these schedules are made one, two, sometimes three years
in advance, and he said, our schedule was mostly set
coming into this year because they're members of the Mountain
State Athletic Conference. They have eleven conference games locked in
(50:00):
every year, no matter what, that's half your regular season schedule.
They went and played three games on a road trip
in Ohio. They've played some teams in bigger classes, and frankly,
I don't blame them, because with the way the regional
structure works in West Virginia, sometimes you end up with
quote unquote regions that are pretty broad. Ye, you're talking
about a Capital team that, yes, Herbert Hoover and Ripley
(50:22):
are in their region, and by all means, Capitol should
probably be playing Herbert Hoover and Ripley if they're in
their region. But if I'm Cookie Miller, who's the head
coach at Capitol, why would I drive ninety minutes to
two hours to Princeton with a bunch of high school
boys on a Wednesday night when I can go play
Hurricane or when I can go play Huntington.
Speaker 2 (50:42):
That's the thing.
Speaker 13 (50:43):
The SSAC does not require teams to play regional opponents
to be able to play in the postseason. So Capital
hasn't broken any rules, but they're still being penalized for it.
Speaker 6 (50:54):
Daniel, can I ask a question, just for the data,
where did Capital fall in the Metro Newspower Index versus
these the teams.
Speaker 2 (51:01):
Compared to the others.
Speaker 13 (51:02):
I don't know off hand, Capital, for I would say
three quarters of the season has been number one in
that poll.
Speaker 2 (51:07):
I rest my case. Thank you, teach Metals. Daniel Woods.
You'll be back with me later day on Metro News
