doctor Casey Sachs of Bridge Valley. Good morning, Welcome to
the show.

Speaker 5 (02:57):
Good morning, Dave. It's great to be with you today.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Great to have you here. We're going to get caught
up on some things going on at Bridge Valley. But
before we do that, doctor Sachs, I thought I would
give you an opportunity to say something about the passing
of a Supreme Court justice. Tim Armstead.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
I know that family.

Speaker 5 (03:15):
He's such a nice man.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Yeah, go ahead, and just to tell us your recollections.

Speaker 5 (03:21):
He was such a nice man. The last time I
saw him was at the Habitat for Humanity making a donation,
and it's just such a nice guy. It's really a
loss for the community.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
It is, indeed. And I'm going to get into this
a little bit later on in the show, but I
will say this about Tim Armstead. Even people who may
have been on different sides of the political aisle from him,
never heard anybody say a bad word about him as
a person, even his political quote unquote enemies. And I don't
even like to use the term enemies, and let me
just say people that have a different thought process than

(03:51):
he did. I never heard anybody say anything bad about him.

Speaker 5 (03:54):
He took the time to work with one of my
exchange students several years ago. She'll really be sad too.
She lives in Germany now and he was so nice
to her one year at the business summit and really
took the time to talk to her about law, and
she is an accountancy law now in Germany and it
really made such a difference in her life.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
That's a great story. I mean, it really is. And
again these stories continue to come in and we talk
to elected officials and things of that nature. We're going
to continue to do that. I know the guys are,
they're actually at the business some of today, Wilson and Meadows.
They'll talk about it down there, Amanda and I will
talk about it on midday to day. But it's the
stories like that about Tim Armstead, to be honest with you,
doctor Sachs, that really touched me a little bit more.

(04:34):
You know somebody that ninety nine point nine percent of
the population doesn't even know, but he went out of
his way to go help that person.

Speaker 5 (04:41):
Oh, it's such a loss for the community.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
It is indeed in the entire state of West Virginia.
All right. So we talk about all the time Bridge
Valley's relationship with area businesses, answering the call for what
employers need and working with them, Doctor Sachs to provide
the skill sets that they need to hire people. You're
now in the insurance business, so to speak, we are.

Speaker 5 (05:03):
So our local insurance companies have said they needed a
little bit of training, and so we've started ramping that
up and we'll actually have the first property and Casualty
insurance course. It's been at the request of local insurance
agencies and apparently there's a licensure required and they need
preparation for the state licensure exam. So on September ninth,

(05:26):
we'll have our first cohort go through Property and Casualty
insurance pre licensure. We're pretty excited about it.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
I'm going to say that sounds exciting. I'm not making
fun of it. It's well, it's something that I get
some really good friends in the insurance business. You're right,
doctor Zax. It is something that is sorely needed.

Speaker 5 (05:45):
It really is. And actually we've I looked it up
for you. Insurance sales agents. The employment for those are
expected to grow six percent over the next few years,
so that good growth area, not.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Bad at all, not bad at all. And we'll give
you as we close out the segment, as we always do,
we'll give you the contact information, the website and whatever,
so you can look up everything else going on at
Bridge Value as well. I was reading the other day
some information about the college is STAND Programain explain what
that is and how it works. What is the STAND
program and how does it work?

Speaker 5 (06:17):
So STAND is actually statewide. It stands for Skilled Trades Apprenticeships,
non traditional degree. Okay, So STAND is an acronym, and
it's to help people who have completed apprenticeships in any
number of areas. You might be a plumber and now
you're ready to complete a degree so that you can
advance your career, and so STAND actually helps you do

(06:37):
that by providing a state financial aid fund so that
you can finish out probably about fifteen credit hours and
complete that associate's degree.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
And that's a really exciting thing. As you said, this
is a state wide program, not a college program, but
you guys are involved in the thing's going on across
the Mountain State and there's a lot of buzz about it.

Speaker 5 (06:56):
It's really great and it's at all of the community colleges.
I really want to help promote people who have had
those apprenticeships, who have done those registered programs. They're really
great in the skilled trades, but they might be at
the point where they're ready to be in management or
to move up and sometimes you need a degree for that,
so we're trying to make it easier.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
Talking to doctor Casey Sachs Abridge Valley, It's nine to
fourteen to Dave Alan. Show one five eighty Live is
Broadchoo part by Pinnacle Consultants. Their services involved developing comprehensive
management plans to outline strategies for controlling and minimizing as
best as exposure. Perfect for commercial property owners and managers.
Visit Pinnacle Court dot net because what you don't know
can hurt you. I want to talk a little bit
about the role of community and technical colleges in the

(07:37):
state of West Virginia. You and I have talked to
We've been having you on the show for the last
couple of years, pretty much ever since you arrived here,
and we know we talk a lot about now, especially
at this time of year. You know, the kids are
heading back to public school, most of them not if
they haven't already, they will soon. Certainly they have here
in the Kanaw Valley and students heading back to the
to the larger universities. But there is such a role,

(07:58):
doctor Sachs, for community and technical college, trade schools, whatever
you want to call them. In our society right now.

Speaker 5 (08:04):
There really is? There really is. I actually I was
at a rotary meeting this week and I had a
mom tell me how much money we saved her family
and how great this was, and that her daughter then
transferred to Marshall and that she just appreciated what Bridge
Value was able to do for their family. And that
kind of story, when people stop me in the community,
makes me so happy, because that's what we're trying to do.

(08:25):
We're trying to make college a lot more accessible for people.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
And you know, back years ago, well over thirty years ago,
I guess now, when I was in college, you know,
it was actually, you know, probably closer to forty, but
who's counting. There was if you went to a community college,
which I did. I went to Southern West Virginia Community
Technical College and transferred to Marshall. That's what you did.
You went to a community college, went to a trade

(08:49):
school whatever you want to call it, and then you
transferred to somewhere else. And that's all well and good,
and your students still do that. However, you got a
lot of programs that are available that people don't have
to go anywhere else. That's their style.

Speaker 5 (09:00):
It's true, and we actually really pride ourselves in that.
It's something that's been very fun for us to think through,
what's the labor market need and what are businesses really
saying they need in the area, and how do we
help meet that with folks who can earn an associate's degree.
So when you think about things like a registered nurse,
that's a two year URN program and it's a really

(09:21):
great job in our community.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
And we all know about the need for nurses, I
mean not only here in West Virginia after saxphon nationwide.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
Absolutely, And I.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
Understand you wanted to spotlight one particular person. You gave
me a name via text to Caitlin Rains and the
Harmonies Senior Service of Scholarship talk about that.

Speaker 5 (09:38):
We're really proud of Caitlin. So Harmony Senior Services has
made a great commitment to our students. They have donated
one hundred thousand dollars so that every year ten students
get a thousand dollars scholarship to really help support them.
And now for Caitlin, that's meant that she can focus
on her studies and prepare for her INCLEX the ENCLEXES,

(09:59):
the state license examine nursing instead of having to juggle
full time school and full time work. She's talked about
how grateful she is for Harmony Senior Services support and
it's just one of those really feel good stories in
the community.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
We need more feel good stories for sure. Talking to
doctor Casey Sackson Bridge Valley before we let you go,
what else is going on up there on the hill?

Speaker 5 (10:20):
Gosh, Well, school just started, so we've been really busy
with back to school and trying to welcome students both
in South Charleston, Anna and Montgomery, and we're just excited.
Enrollment's been up every year. We're up another five percent
this year, and we're really proud of folks who have
decided to change their lives and come back.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
We love to hear them that the enrollment's of Hey,
doctor Sachs, it's always a pleasure to talk to you,
and we'll talk again soon. Give us the information, give
us the website. People can learn more about anything we
talked about today or any of the fabulous things going
on at Bridge Valley.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
It's all at Bridge Valley dot edu and doctor.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
Casey Sacks will talk again next month. Thanks a lot,
Thank you, doc, doctor Casey Sacks of Bridge Valley it
is nine eighteen. But again I love the stories when
we talked to doctor Sachs about that, because again, years ago,
it was always well, you're going to go to this
particular college and then you're going to transfer somewhere else.
And people still do that all the time, be it Marshall,
WVU State, whatever that people still do that. However, there's

(11:14):
a lot of programs available at these colleges that you
ain't gotta go nowhere else. You just simply go there
and get your degree and then go to work. And
the relationships that Bridge Valley has got with these employers,
we talk about what they've done with Toyota and these
other places. I mean, you're you're ready to go. It's
just a matter sometimes of where do you want to work,
what shift do you want to work? Because your job
is waiting on you. And trust me, it hasn't always

(11:35):
been that way. Bigley Biggley Wiggly hotline three zero four

Speaker 9 (14:17):
Good morning, Dave. How are you doing this morning?

Speaker 3 (14:19):
I am doing fine. Thanks for being here. And as
I did with doctor Casey Sachson the last segment, Mayor,
I want to give you a chance to talk a
little bit about Supreme Court justice former Legislator Tim Armstead,
who we lost yesterday.

Speaker 9 (14:31):
Well, I've only met Tim a couple of times, but
everything when I met him he was so I want
to say, humble up there for even the positions he had,
you would have never known that the cloud he had
and stuff in there. His demeanor was was very made
everybody feel very welcome, even to the people didn't know
him very well. So that's that goes a long ways

(14:53):
with people. In a position like that.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yeah, I'm one. And again he was a he was
a person that just everybody liked and everybody respected. And
of course he had been sick, and still we knew
he'd been sick. But it was shocking news when Jeff
came downstairs yesterday and middle of Metro News midday and
said that Tim Armstead had passed and he was sixty
years old. He's had a wonderful wife and family and

(15:16):
a whole host of friends. You're going to be hearing
a whole lot more about the legacy of Tim Armstead
over the next several days, for sure, Mayor. We spent
some time on several shows talking about the incredible growth
in Putnam County. Late last week came the announcement of
two hundred plus homes of the hurricane area. We talked
to Morgan Tenting from the development Authority about that that
on yesterday's show. Similar things with thor meeks of meex

(15:38):
rentals and leasing. But I know not to be outdone
in the Land of the Generals. You got some exciting
things going on there in Winfield too. Hey, Mayor, I
need you do me a favor if you would. I
don't know what you're listening to in the background, if
you're listening to me or whatever, because I know you're
my number one fan, but I'm gonna need you to
turn it down a little bit. We get a little feedback.

Speaker 9 (15:56):
I don't have nothing playing, Dave, I got you completely
on me.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
Okay, something all right?

Speaker 9 (16:01):
Maybe on area.

Speaker 3 (16:02):
I thought you were going to say, I don't have
anything on I was gonna say no, mayor don't say that. No,
do not say that. Well, go ahead and tell us
about what's going on in Winfield.

Speaker 9 (16:11):
Well, we've we've got a brand new development starting whatever,
being Duplexus. They have sixty one units that's three bedroom,
fourteen hundred feet square feet and right there across from
Dairy Freege I know, you know where Bell was at.
Oh yeah, and that's you know, close to the high school.

(16:32):
And we've had has some people complaining, well the traffic stuff. Yeah,
it's it's going to call up there. But you know,
you get sixty one places in there, you get sixty
one you know, one hundred and twenty some people plus
it's going to two cars. It'll call up there. But
that's a great problem to have. It's an eight million
dollar project and they do. They think us the foundation poured,

(16:58):
they're still putting in utility. But it's uh uh. I'm
hoping by the next spring he'll be able to rent those.
But that's a and he's a local guy, family guy.
Right here. I think he's thirty years old and he's
doing that. Great, great guy. And then down here on
the other end of town, we got Jordan Place. They
got thirty eight town homes. They're selling them from two

(17:22):
fifty to almost five hundred thousand dollars. Yes, they someone
talked or is anybody Aaron Hurricane will be able before
of those places that are building, Yeah, because they're built.
They're they're doing them over here, they have them, people's
buying them waiting on the New Corps. Waited was waiting
on three of them up there to get the CEO's on.

(17:43):
So they move into them. And New Courts done the
same thing over at three h four. They buy some
of them and they just bring in their big shots.
And now New Court has been great for when un
till the hurricane.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
Yeah, exactly right. And the thing about it is these
developers mayor wouldn't be building these things just on a chance.
I mean, there's a there's a market for them, or
they wouldn't be building them to begin with. I mean,
these aren't these guys aren't aren't are dummies. I mean
they do their market research and they obviously have seen
a need for this. That's why that's why they got

(18:18):
the plans out and started building them.

Speaker 9 (18:20):
Yes, we got three other developers that's come into town
and they're either building one development's fifteen homes, the other
one is eighteen, and the other ones thirty or twenty
some duplexus that they're going to sell. But none of
them was you know, they haven't got started yet for
one reason or another, and so maybe they're you know,

(18:42):
let these other ones get ready, then there'll be next
to sell. And that's a good problem to have up
that our traffic and everybody knows. You know, if you
don't come to Winfield at eight o'clock in the morning
or three point thirty in the afternoon, you know, our
schools has got everything packed in here, which is a
good problem to have. But we'll grow it, and we'll
grow in Winfield and Putnam County.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
Talking again with Mayor Randy Barrett of Winfield, the day
Island showing five eighty live is brought to you party
by a Hustan's Pizza. This month at your favorite Hussans,
get a large at and inch pepperoni pizza at a
big eight inch chocolate chip cookie for twenty three ninety nine.
Dine in carry out or order delivery on your closest
Hustons at Huston's Pizza dot com. And you know, let's
talk about about the whole development of Putnam County because

(19:23):
you're you know, you've been around a while, and you
you know what what Putnam County was like in the
let's say nineteen nineties when it really exploded. And then
I will say that they had any struggles, but I
mean it just kind of leveled off, you know, as
to be expected, and now it's all coming back again.
I mean from what I wasn't there in the nineteen nineties,
but from what I've been told, this is like nineteen

(19:45):
ninety five or whatever the year was. On steroids.

Speaker 9 (19:48):
Oh yeah, you assistant, the Valley Road is exploded. And
then you know, I was here when they got to
New thirty five up there, and Fever said, well that'll
knock people from coming to Winfield. That red light. That's
been the best thing to happen to Windfield because you
really couldn't get here at certain times of the evening
because traffic was bad. Now if you want to get

(20:09):
to Windfield from Value you can. So we've grown. The
whole county has grown so much. And I've been here
a lot longer, been the nineties up there. I could
remember my dad back in probably the set early seventies.
I think the Valley Park where the Hurricane City Park,
that whole place, I think it was up to sell

(20:30):
up for like sixteen thousand dollars. Can you imagine what investment?

Speaker 3 (20:34):
But that was a lot of money back sure, yeah, but.

Speaker 9 (20:37):
Been developed and you know, I got to give them
a soapbox here a minute. We got a we got
a guy at local contractor here building two businesses down,
two open businesses down here in Windfield, and the dh
is holding them up because of the red light. And
they were the one the gomark was supposed to broke
ground last month and now they're now d it's saying

(21:00):
there's probably next spring before they even get the red
light in. Uh. Some of our state agencies are killing
growth in the state. I mean not just in Pumpman
County and the red tape of some of these Some
of these places really have to be looked at what
they got to do. But this it's holding up development.

(21:21):
We we need businesses. When you hold up development, sidewalks,
red light's business, you're hurting the whole state up their
So something has to be done with some of these
agencies that hold up growth in state.

Speaker 3 (21:35):
Well, I mean, what what can be done? I mean,
you know, you're I know you're very heavily involved in
the municipal League and Mayor Goodwin uh here in Charleston
is the new head of the Municipal League. And I'm
sure you guys are always on, you know, on one
page when it comes to these things. What what can
be done? I mean, what what needs to do? Who
does the who does the message need to get to Mayor?

Speaker 9 (21:55):
Well, I talked to one of my senators here, a
local last year about it, and I said, well, here
rumors that maybe y'all going to start the state is
going to start contracting out engineers firms to do some
of this prelim stuff in there to speed things up.
And he said yeah, but he said so expensive. I said,

(22:17):
time is money. I said, I got a grant that
was almost worth a half million dollars ten years ago,
and now that same thing is only worth two hundreds
and dollars. So time is money, So pay me now,
pay me later. Up there when you'll hold up projects
for a decade and this one here for another year
that they were ready to break ground last month. Time

(22:39):
is money. Something has to be you know. The new
Morse is working on PIA and stuff. I think next
on the list is helping dh out to get out
of its own way up and the whole state needs
help on you know, roads and stuff in there, and
DAH needs help. And sure all the answers, but maybe

(23:01):
maybe starting off with Southern some engineering out to some
of these. Uh. We got a lot of good engineers,
engineering companies all up and down the state. I think
the state needs to spend a little money to make
a little money. Uh.

Speaker 3 (23:16):
Talking to Mayor Randy Bair to Winfield, I want to
go back. You mentioned go Mart. Is this a new
goal Mart that the area is getting.

Speaker 9 (23:23):
Yes, up there, if they don't back out, if they're
going to have to wait another year. Yeah, they're at
the red light. And there's another business which.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
For people don't familiar. Mayor which red light are we
talking about.

Speaker 9 (23:35):
Well, if you're not familiar Winfield, there's only one here.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
I knew that and you knew that, but but I
wanted to have have you explained it to people that
maybe don't know that.

Speaker 9 (23:44):
Where is it? It's a three way there at Windy's
and Giavani's. Yes, and they are wanting to put a
four waiting in there straight across you. If you've been
to the Taco bit of a new Taco bell that
it's very dangerous getting out there. If you come back
to Winfield, take in the left, but so they're gonna
put a red light in there, take the guard around
out you'd be straight into the Go Mark. It have

(24:07):
its own little street there along the three businesses, and
there's another business down there. It's going to go in
there for Go Mark if they don't buck out because
of the time. I mean, you know, businesses get a model.
I'm ready to do this. No, I'm gonna go someplace else.
I'm not waiting you and you ken't blaving them. And
you know, those contractors have jump every hoop that they

(24:30):
can jump to make this project happen. And now there
it's just and they're wanting a bunch of money for
them to put the red light into. I just I
don't understand it all, but it's I get aggravated when
you're holding the progress.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
Well, if anybody can get it done to cut through
the red tape, it'd be Mayor Barrett of Winfield. What's
your big selling point for the area. This is a
question I asked when I and you were on the
Mayor Monday segment on Metro News Midday a month or
so ago. But one of the things I always ask
every mayor is is your big selling point for your town?
I mean, people are listening to us right now here

(25:04):
in the Canal Valley and you know, maybe they're not
happy with the area that they live in, or whatever
the case. Maybe what is your big selling point for Winfield?
When you're trying to get people to move in.

Speaker 9 (25:15):
It's hard not to start with the schools up there.
I mean, we've got three schools up here that are
top notch in the state. But then it's the safety
of our little community here and we got you know,
we do have the city police, we got state police
up on the hen we've got counties. We're very very safe,
and the amount of law enforcement actually live in this

(25:37):
town because they've dealt with that all day and they
know if they come here they can relax and they
can enjoy their evenings. So they've done that. We are
a very safe community. We all have our problems up
in there, but Winfield is a safe little bedroom. We
always need some more things, and I wish we could
get more things up there, but we're safe. And our

(25:58):
schools second. And that's why all these new cool people
are coming this way. Because these young people. I want
to put my kids in a good school, and that's
why they're coming to here. Calls the schools, and then
their parents or they come because they want to be
with their grandkids. And I see it every day.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
What are we going to do with that? The former
location of Fruth there in the little in the little
plaza there, man.

Speaker 9 (26:23):
The former As far as I know, the Fruth is
still open there.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
I thought they were leaving, Okay, I lend Fruth. I apologize.
I thought I had heard that they were. Okay, I
apologize for that.

Speaker 9 (26:34):
I am there. They did had a little doctor's office for.

Speaker 3 (26:39):
So okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, I stand, I stand corrected.
Then all right, I want to give you an opportunity
to plug your upcoming Putnam County homecoming that's coming up
here real soon. Talk about it.

Speaker 9 (26:50):
Yes, the thirteenth or fourteenth up there. I've been called
doh to get signs to let them know, you know,
here is a call controversy. When you close up. We've
got to pray from one thirty to three up close,
eight seventeen down and anybody can sign up right up
to the right up to the event. On Sunday they

(27:12):
will be crowning the queens Sunday four four thirty. Of
all four schools in the county, we got bands playing
Saturday afternoon. Saturday night church service has grown unbelievable in
the Sunday mornings, three or four churches together, and that

(27:33):
is really a up there. They've brought some pastors in
or all three, three or four of the pastors local
will preach. It's really a that's really that's really growing,
and that's really a good message there on Sunday morning.
All right, it's growing. It'll never be the ten thousand
people it used to be or five thousand people.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
Well, if you tube up like you are now, it's
going to be mayor I mean Let's don't be too pessimistic.
If you keep moving all these people into Putnam County
and not only Hurrican what you talked about Winfield, it
will there because you're well on your way, my friend.

Speaker 9 (28:02):
Well, it's it's not for the lack of trime. We
do work at it, all right.

couldn't come soon enough for a lot of people, the
opening night of high school football in West Virginia. We're
going to discuss our coverage. Of course, we're going to
have our Game of the Week, kind of going back
to that format on WCCHS, but we are also going

(31:48):
to continue our coverage of Herbert Hoover Herbert Hoover Football,
try to saying that a couple of times on their
sister station, Superstar Country ninety six to one KWS. So
we're going to talk to all the parties involved on
those games up on tomorrow's show, also on Friday's show
as well, and of course on the Metro News TV app.
We've got the High School Kickoff Classic that's on the
Metro News TV app tomorrow night. If you haven't done

(32:09):
so already, make sure you download the Metro News TV app,
all right, make sure that you do that. And of
course after the game on Friday night, stick around Fred Persinger,
Dave Jacqueline and the crew with the results from around
the state of West Virginia on game night. And then
of course on Saturday we get ready for football. We
got WVU mouth Andeers, the return of Rich Rod as

(32:31):
they take on Robert Morris and my alma mater, the
Marshall Thundering Herd heading down to the hedges at Sandford
to take on the University of Georgia Bulldog. Somebody asked
me the other day because they know I'm a huge
Georgia Bulldog fan and have been ever since I was
a kid. I was born in Georgia, really no family
ties to that area other than the fact that my
father was stationed in the military there. But I became

(32:54):
a herschel Walker fan back when he was running wild
over everybody in that nineteen eighty season, and I followed
the Georgia Bulldog ever since. And I got I got
more Georgia Bulldog merchandise than anybody in West Virginia does.
I can tell you that. And people ask me all
the time, who are you cheering for? Well, it's got
to be the Herd. I know they're thirty nine point
underdogs in this game, but I'm a Marshall guy, so

(33:16):
let's go Hurd. Good luck to all the area teams, says.
High school football is back, and college football is back,
and next week the pros we'll come back. And my
Dallas Cowboys will begin their run to the Super Bowl
next Thursday night as they'll take on the Philadelpha Eagles
of finning Super Bowl champions. Sorry to my good friend
Jared Page, but the Cowboys are winning this game. Just

(33:36):
telling you that, Dex says Dave, I finally have to
admit that when Trump says he's going to do something,
he does it, example, cleaning up the streets of DC.
I'm reading stories and seeing pictures of guardsmen dressed in
their camo with high visibility orange vesta on picking up
trash around d C. Trump is a man of his word,

(33:57):
promises made promises, says a texture. Let me see here
some other texts to get to here. Okay, here it is.
Putnam County says the texture is a great place to live.
We just need roundabouts. Roundabouts will solve stop traffic caused

(34:17):
by stoplights. Texture. I don't disagree, but I mean in
West Virginia, and I'm critical of my home states. Sometimes
we can't navigate a three and four a way stop. Okay,
we're not there yet. On roundabouts, I'm one hundred percent
for them that it takes a little getting used to. People
heard me talk about my trip I made a couple

(34:38):
of weeks ago down to Georgia and the town that
we were in, it was all roundabouts everywhere you went
on Saint Simon's It's all about the roundabouts. But I
don't think we're there yet in West Virginia. I hope,
I hope we get there at some point, but we've
got to navigate three and four way stops first. So
more of the death of Tim Armstead. We learned about

(34:58):
his passing yes Da at the age of sixty, and
the tributes are pooring as you makes back now, Brad
Mickaelhonney has the lead story about at wv metro news
dot com, and you hear more about it later today.
During Metro News Midday. Of course, the talk Line boys
are live at the Greenbrier for the business Summit. They'll
be talking about it as well. And I will say
this about Tim Armstead. I knew him he was on

(35:20):
the show. I can't say that I knew him well,
but I was around him some during my time in
state government and Republican politics. He was quite simply a
good man and a man. As I mentioned earlier, that
you would be hard pressed to find anyone who would
say anything bad about which is a rarity in the
world of politics, particularly with the landscape of the political

(35:44):
scene the last couple of years. Even people who may
not have agreed with him respected him mainly because of
the way he treated people. He was simply he was
just simply a decent human being. He was a godly man,
very family oriented man, built a life of public service.
But here's the thing about Tim. Marms said, Tim Martinstead
would have been that guy if he were working at

(36:05):
the auto parts store, or if he were making you
a burger at Wendy's. He just was that good of
a guy. And Brad has an end depth story at
the website. Again, more coverage on talk Line, which is
live from the Greenbrier and later today with Amanda and
Me on Metro News Midday. Tex says, so the Western
Indian National Guard is picking up trash around DC. Let's

(36:26):
not forget to mention the genius idea of putting a
high visibility orange vest over top of camouflage brilliant. But
more importantly, Governor Patrick Morrissey, wouldn't the West r Indian
National Guard be better used to pick up trash around West
Virginia instead of the sea. Let me see, I'm trying

(36:46):
to get an answer to some question. Okay, we're back
to the roundabouts again. Morgantown has roundabouts and sold over
the place, all over the place in newer areas, they're
not an issue at all. Well again, I'm not against
roundabouts at all. I am not against them. I'm just
saying I don't know the West Virginia is there yet.
Story broke late last night that a magistrate here in

(37:07):
Kanawha County has resigned John Leoni. There are allegations, important
to remember, allegations only at this time, of possible sexual harassment.
For a matt Leoni was contacted by media members here
in Charleston offered no comment, but said he may release
his statement after speaking to his legal counsel. And that's
according to when this news. Leslie Rubin will have more

(37:28):
as the information becomes available. Two things that really don't
mean a whole lot in the big picture of things,
but had everyone talking yesterday. Uncle Herschel is back at
Cracker Bear. Our long national nightmare is over. The old
Cracker Barrel logo is back, according to the company. I'll

(37:50):
pause for a dramatic yawn here for a moment. I mean,
you talk about first world problems, man, this was first
world problems. When we're arguing over the logo of a
fast food establishment, and it is fast food. The fact
that people got so upset over a logo change absolutely
baffles me. And I've eaten at Cracker Barrel. As far

(38:10):
as chains go, it's okay. I prefer to spend my
money on local places, but that's just me. They do
have good steak and eggs, and their chicken livers aren't bad.
But when I first saw and read about this logo change,
I thought, well, that's kind of a plain looking logo
and I moved on. I didn't see it as some
sort of a major corporate left wing plot to undermined

(38:34):
the very fabric of society. I saw it as a
private company changing their logo, nothing more and nothing less.
But you can sleep better knowing now that it was
a victory over wokeism or whatever. Uncle Herschel, the character
in the logo, is back. In the meantime, more people
were talking about cracker Barrel over the last couple of

(38:54):
days than had talked about Cracker Barrel in years. Advantage
Cracker Barrel. They win for them. They got exactly what
they wanted from this whole thing. And maybe maybe maybe
I spent too much time in the wrestling business because
I see everything as a work, as we call it
in the business, including this. It was a work from

(39:14):
the very beginning. But that's just me being old and
cranking hating everything. So go enjoy your saw mill gravy
or whatever it's called, and know that you were probably complicit.
If you were one of the ones that took to
social media or called your talk shit, you were probably
very complicit in this. A new one to me, A

(39:37):
more lago face, says the texture. These are not human faces.
They are luxury meat masks meant to signal wealth and
in group belonging people such as Laura Lumer Christy No
Matt Gates can afford excellent surgeons and subtle cosmetic work.
But unless they're all had boxed procedures, it seems they
deliberately chose to look like AI generated characters. Spot On

(39:57):
from The Guardian says a texture text says, Dave, are
these new homes Putnam County likely to be bought by
NEWCRE employees? Besides New Core, I'm having trouble finding business
around the area that would pay enough to afford a
three hundred thousand dollar home. Maybe you can help me
out and name a few. Well, Toyota I think would
probably be would probably be one c amc Vandelia Health,

(40:23):
Martial Health Network just selling it out there. There's one
hundred three hundred thousand dollars in today's economy is not
a lot of money, and that's what homes are going for,
and there's a whole lot of demand for them. If
you think there's not a demand for three hundred thousand
dollar homes, you got another thing coming because there's a
waiting list for them. Can we make a list as

(40:46):
a texture of things? West Virginia isn't there yet? On
first two can be roundabouts and legal cannabis, says a texture. Yeah,
I'm not getting into that argument. Waffle house is better
than cracker barrel, says a texture. That's an Roundabouts are
for commies, says a Texter. And of course you know

(41:08):
the big story yesterday but also broke the news that
crashed the Internet that Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift are
getting married. I know, I know you care about this
about as much as I do. But it was a
big story and it will be for some time. When
the announcement came out, it got fourteen million likes on

(41:31):
Instagram in one hour. One hour, fourteen million likes, and
it crashed Instagram yesterday. And I've given my opinion on
Taylor Swift Travis Kelsey in the past. I'm not a
I'm fifty five years older. I will be, you know,
next month. I would think if I'm a fifty five

(41:53):
year old guy and I'm a fan of Taylor Swift,
that there's you know, I probably got other issues. I
don't care. I don't care who marys who. I don't care.
I respect Taylor Swift. I will say this because she
writes her own music, She produces her own music, she
owns her own music. She's a billionaire, She's the biggest
star on the planet, has been for over twenty years.

(42:14):
Name me another star that's been a star, a constant
star for twenty to twenty five years, as Taylor Swift
has been. There aren't any I can tell you right now.
There aren'n anny not my thing. I can't name a
single song that she does.

Speaker 12 (42:27):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (42:28):
As Daniel Woods, our sports guy and newsgal, and I
were talking yesterday, people that are all upset about them
cutting to scenes of Taylor Swift at NFL games. Okay,
number one, that's brilliant on behalf of the NFL, because
you've now got a lot of a different audience watching
the games just to see Taylor Swift. And if you
don't show Taylor Swift slurping all over Travis Kelsey, what
are you gonna show some fat guy drinking bush light

(42:49):
with his face painting cheering on his team. So yeah,
more power to him. I don't care, but a lot
of people do. Uh, Dave says a friend or Dave
says a Texter. A friend and I were discussing why
we have Second Amendment and the reason is so we
can have a regulated militia for defense against a tyranny government.

(43:12):
So where are these gun owners and militias When Fed's
put military on our streets, You're about to lose it
all according to and also freedom, says a text. I
had a little hard time making that out. Why do
you think West Virginia's are so stupid? Says the texture.
I don't think West Virginia's are stupid by any stretch
of the imagination. I just think we're a little bit

(43:32):
slow to change, myself included. I don't think that equates
to stupidity. I just think that we don't like change
in West Virginia. Bigley Pigley Wiggly Hotline three zero four

(46:46):
zero four nine three five five zero zero eight text
says Cracker Barrel hasn't served chicken livers in years. That
goes to show you how much I know about chain restaurants.
With all due respect, I can remember eating chicken livers
or Cracker Barrel at one point.

Speaker 9 (47:00):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (47:00):
But you know I I don't. I don't. I don't.
It's nothing against Cracker Barrel, They're fine. I just would
rather support local businesses. Local, local, you know, the ones
that actually donate things back to the community. Now, I'm
gonna get all the hate from all the cracker barrel
people saying, well, they give this and they get it.
I'm sure they do. But at the end of the day,

(47:20):
I dis like to support local, and I do love
good chicken livers. By the way, Tex says, the addition
of these homes Putnam County, especially the single story models,
will help ease the shorties of options for residents and
larger homes who are ready to downsize. In turn, this
creates opportunities for growing families to move into those existing homes.
It's a texture good good point there, Tex says. Stoplights

(47:43):
or antire freedom. They force people to stop. Americans don't
like to be forced to do anything. Replace the stoplights
with roundabouts. Bring freedom to Puttnham County. No more forced
stopping freedom. And to be fair, says a texture. You
did say West Virginians can't even handle a three to
four way stop that implies we're stupid. Then put me
in there as one of the stupid West Virginians. Okay,
put me in there because I sometimes if I'm traveling,

(48:05):
my wife have to look over at my wife and go, Okay,
this is in their turn of mind, so put me
in there as well. Another thing I wanted to quickly
address here as we close out the show, and this
may be a little inside baseball, but just hear me
out on this. Yesterday there was a big day of news.
I mean, Justice Armstead dying coal mining death tragically in
Boone County. At a Knaw County mattert last night that

(48:30):
resigned Travis and Taylor getting engaged, so on and so forth.
There was another story that broke yesterday, and what I'm
gonna talk about is not so much about the incident,
but about the coverage of said event. Aaron Parker has
the story at wv metronews dot com. Former Marshall football
star and longtime NFL player Chris Massey facing four misdemeanor

(48:52):
charges after there was an altercation with his son's middle
school assistant football coach. Now, this all happened in Winfield.
The coach was an off duty Putnam County Sheriff's deputy. Now,
Chris Massey lives in Winfield and is an assistant coach.
I understand over there, and that's not so important in
my mind as what happened, but more of the coverage

(49:12):
and then the public reaction read that social media reaction
to the event. And let me explain something to you.
When you are in the news media, I don't do
a lot of news. I report on news that other
people gather, like Jeff Jenkins, Okay, you know, I just
opine up on certain things. I help out a little
bit as I can, but I'm not a newscaster. But

(49:33):
when you're in the news media, we deal in official stuff,
and when there is an incident like there was with
this incident, we only report the facts or the official
police report, which is what we did in this case,
as did other news outlets in the Charleston market. Once
the story was out and we reported it, as did

(49:54):
every other media outlet, people started running to defend either
Massy or the off duty deputy. Now let me stay
for the record, I don't know either, gentlemen. I wasn't there,
so I don't know what happened. What I do know
is what the news media has to go on is
the official police report. So when you take to social
media and you trash us or other media outlets, you

(50:15):
really need to be trashing the police because if you've
got a problem with an official document that's not on
Metro News or WCCHS, that's not on your local television station.
That's the official police report. That's what we have to
go on. We don't go and interview everybody and find
out what happened. We have we get an official police report.

(50:35):
And what we reported on was the official police report
that came out of that day in Winfield. That's it,
nothing more or nothing less. And everyone is innocential, proven guilty,
and everybody will get their day in court. But my
point is, don't shoot the messenger when these things come
out and trash us or trash one of the television
stations or the newspaper or whatever. We go on official

(50:58):
things and that's the office police report. That's it, Oh Texas.
