Kenny Bass, longtime television journalists, most recently with WCCHS Television
here in the Charleston Huntington market. Of course, WSAZ for
number of years, also worked for the Justice Administration. Kenny
Bass has passed away. Statement coming out from his family
late last night, Kenny died at the age of sixty
two after a battle with cancer. His family released that

(02:31):
information again via social media this morning. We'll have more
on that coming up a little bit later on. Also,
the talk line boys are going to cover it, and
we'll have more on it on midday as well. And
I'll have more on reflections of Kenny Bass coming up
a little bit later on. But he certainly certainly was
good at what he did. Millie Snyder, who's also good
at what she does, is with us right now. How
are you, miss Millie? I'm wonderful. How are you? I

(02:51):
am fine?

Speaker 5 (02:52):
Good.

Speaker 6 (02:52):
I asked you when I came in if your real
name was David, and you confirm that it is, they
I'll tell you what David Allen.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Someday I'll tell you what my real last name is.
So there you go.

Speaker 6 (03:03):
I can't know.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Now nobody in radio uses their real names, you know.

Speaker 6 (03:07):
Oh so I mean now I had thank you, thank
you giving me well.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Did you think Steve Animal's real last name was Animal?
I mean, come on, come on, Allan's my middle name.

Speaker 6 (03:18):
Actually, Alan's your middle name. And I don't know you're
leaving me out of doubt.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
It's not a it's not a secret. My my my
real last name is Gilpen g I L P I N.

Speaker 5 (03:29):
I like that.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
It's uh well. And the reason that I was given
the name Dave Allen is when I was seventeen years
old and I started my career. The general manager who
hired me, I was in high school, and he said
Gilpin and he said, what's your what's your middle name?
I said Alan. He said you're Dave Allen. So there
you go. Been Dave Allen. Wasn't always Dave Allen. When
I was in Ohio was Dave Daniels. That's the name

(03:51):
they gave me when I was in Ohio. I don't
know why it was Dave Daniels.

Speaker 6 (03:54):
When I was in youth, had a variety of names.
And I'm sure some people along the way about in
their own.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Two Yeah, to talk to my wife, uh uh, Mike
Johnny Fever you know, and w k RP and Cincinnati
when he had a coffee cup that had all of
his different last names and aliases he'd used a different
radios that that's pretty funny now and now I've never
never and it was really I'll tell you, it was
kind of a source a sore spot with my late
father because he saw it as you know, you're ashamed

(04:21):
of the family name and so and it was nothing
like that. It's just the name that they gave me.
Because back in back in the early days of radio,
people generally speaking, uh, it was an old radio rule
that you had to have two first names. That's why
there's people named Randy Michaels and uh and Steve Adams
not to be confused with the journalist Steve Adams and
names like that, because it was easy to remember, and

(04:43):
that's why people everybody used these, you know, easy, easy names.

Speaker 6 (04:48):
So well, I'm glad my real name is not easy
to remember because people know me as Milly. My real
name is Mildred, Mildred okay, and I'm not a Mildred no, yeah,
i am a mill.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Millifits by the way, happy belated birthday, Thank you very much.
When was the big days?

Speaker 6 (05:06):
Sunday?

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Sunday, Sunday, Thank you very much.

Speaker 6 (05:09):
I got some wonderful cards from my family, some friends,
and one friend send me a card. She said, I'm
all these lovely things and then on the inside it
said We're so much alike. It's frightening.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
It was fabulous.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
You got to have you got to have good friends.
How old are you? Do you care to say? You
don't have to say, you don't want to?

Speaker 6 (05:27):
Well, I always, I always, you know, counter that with
how old do I look?

Speaker 3 (05:32):
Thirty five?

Speaker 6 (05:33):
Oh, my goodness, you are. You are beyond a gentleman.
On Sunday at five thirty, I was the eighty three.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Eighty three, and I know I don't look at you
do not look eighty three.

Speaker 6 (05:47):
Thank you, And I don't act like I'm eighty three.
I don't know what eighty three feels like because this
is the first time I'm at eighty three. But I
do credit my looking good and feeling good to a
way that I eat. And that's what I want people
to understand. That food is medicine, and the sooner people

(06:08):
find that out and visit us at our Mediterranean Group.
We meet at Trinity Lutheran Episcopal over on the Boulevard
at Elizabeth Street every Thursday at ten am and five
point thirty in the evening, and we're having an open
meeting two of them on Thursday, November sixth. Now, an

(06:31):
open meeting comes from the world that I lived in
for forty seven years, which was weight Watchers, and whenever
we had an open meeting, that means anyone can come
to find out what we're about, what we do, pick
up a lot of the wonderful handouts that we make
available every week, and find out for yourself what Mediterranean,

(06:52):
what Mediterranean eating is all about. Now, I spoke to
someone earlier this morning. They said, you know, if I
was going to have have my last meal, it would
be a feast of Mediterranean foods. She says, everything that
is Mediterranean is delicious. And that's what I want people
to know. I'm not wanting people to come and think

(07:16):
that they're going on a diet, because Mediterranean is not
a diet. It's a lifestyle. And the food is fresh,
clean and unbelievably healthy and.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Somewhat affordable. And I say that very much affordable. I'll
change that because people always think, well, in order to
eat healthy, I've got to spend now a lot of money,
and you don't with Mediterranean eating, and.

Speaker 6 (07:43):
With what's coming down where a lot of people are
going to have, you know, less money to work with,
I have to say that Mediterranean it can be frozen,
it can be canned, it can be unfancy, but as
long as it doesn't have chemicals in it, then enjoy it,
because that's the way peple. By the way, the Mediterranean
population on the other side of the pond is about

(08:06):
one hundred and twelve million people, and so it's not
just a clatch of five or ten people who created this, right.
This is a way of life.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
That is, there's not a much a scientist in a
lab that came up with this. In other words, absolutely not.
I mean this is something that.

Speaker 6 (08:21):
These are and if God better, every day, every week,
every month because people eat together and by being with
others who are doing the same thing, it strengthens the
way you feel about yourself and you have a more
comfortable resolve. Mediterranean is the.

Speaker 7 (08:38):
Way to go.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
Now, if some you mentioned the Mediterranean feast, okay, what
would be on Millie Snyder's Mediterranean feast. It's not your
last meal, by the way, We're not going there, and
I'm just saying, I'm just saying, if you were to
make a Mediterranean feast, what would it be?

Speaker 6 (08:54):
Okay, Well, first of all, I would have an unbelievably
beautiful salad that would have every vegetable in it. I
would season it with the best olive oil, and then
I would use lemon juice. Sometimes I use cider vinegar,
but it would definitely have olive oil. And then after
this gorgeous salad, I'd probably have some whole grain bread

(09:16):
with it, maybe a slice, and one of the meats
that I love and we actually want people to experience
on Mediterranean is Lamb chops or leg of lamb. Potatoes,
by the way, are not a carbohydrate. Potatoes are a vegetable,
and you can have potatoes the many, many ways that

(09:38):
we fix them. You know, for years they've we've blamed
potatoes as being fattening, but they're not fattening. They're a vegetable.
And what we do here in our country is we
load them up with bacon, butter or sour cream cheese.
I'm trying to think of some of the other things
chives don't count. Nobody that I know ever got fat

(09:59):
from chibe, but we blame the potato, and the potato
is one of the healthiest things you can eat.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
One of the things that my that my wife and
I well, I wash the dishes that my wife is
just a thing that my wife makes that we do
it with a lot of meals. Is we buy these
little potatoes. Yes, and olive oil, yes and uh and
yours of right. You know you can put them in
an air fryer, or you can put them in the oven.
It's a parchment paper or whatever. Absolutely delicious.

Speaker 6 (10:26):
Absolutely you can have them. You can have them whenever.
They can be a snack. But the nice thing is
that using a good quality olive oil. Don't buy an
olive oil that's five ninety nine because that's not a
pure olive oil. But you want to spend a little
bit for your olive oil. I recommend to trap Ando
because it's a beautiful product and it actually is run

(10:47):
by the Entrappaneau family. They have a vineyard in Sweezy,
Italy and then they send the finished product over here.
It's a high quality product. But olive oil can save
your life. It can clear your arm, and don't take
my word for it. Ask your doctor. If your doctor
is in the know as far as nutrition, ask his

(11:08):
opinion about Mediterranean And then a new recommendation that started
about five six months ago, is right before you go
to bed, take one teaspoon of olive oil and just
swallow it. And while you're sleeping, that olive oil is
doing wonders inside your body to keep things running the
way they should.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
As long as they don't run while you're sleeping.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
Your fine.

Speaker 6 (11:30):
Well, I didn't want to actually take this into that area.
I will, I don't care, but obviously, thank you.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
I want to tell you a quick story. I thought
of you the other day, thank you. There was an
article in the Wall Street Journal about a woman who
recently passed. She passed away at the age of one
hundred and seventeen. That did not make me think of you, Okay,
did you say? What made me think of you was
the fact that she lived the biggest part of her
life doing the Mediterranean diet. Now she did do it

(12:00):
as a diet, that's just where she lived.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
You know.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
She had ties to America, but eventually had moved to Spain.
But you know, and I lived other places, but they
was the Mediterranean diet and they were studying her, and
they she had given them permission at like age at
you know, like age ninety, you know, do whatever you
want to be, study me, you know, do what and
they did it until the time she passed at one

(12:24):
hundred and seventeen. And a couple of the things that
that she did was again, she didn't do the Mediterranean diet.
It's just that was just food, you know, that was
just what the word diet what she ate, I mean,
and it was natural. That's one of the things that
she did. They said that she and they can't They
weren't trying to link the two things necessarily together, but

(12:44):
they said there but but the fact that she had
the body makeup on the inside of like a sixty
year old and a sixty five and they don't know
why they could not figure it out. And and so
it's starting to point toward well, maybe it was the
diet or the lifestyle, I should say.

Speaker 6 (13:04):
And when you welcomed me this morning, I said, food
is medicine. And the more that people hear that and
recognize it and eat food that doesn't have chemicals and preservatives,
you know, If you buy mashed potatoes in the grocery store,
they make sure that it's gonna be good still in
fourteen days because they have to load it up with

(13:26):
chemicals and preservatives. If you make mashed potatoes in your
own kitchen, I mean you can eat them, you know,
one meal, two meals, five meals, whatever, But you don't
have to eat foods that are adulterated and hurting your body.
Your body doesn't know what to do with those preservatives
in those chemicals, and that's where problems are caused. Mediterranean

(13:51):
eating doesn't introduce those other additives. That's why it's healthy.
And I love hearing about this woman who made it
to a one hundred and seventeen hundred and seventeen. Now
I don't know that I want to go to one seventeen,
but I don't.

Speaker 3 (14:04):
If it's a good one hundred and seventeen. If it
is fine, right, but you know, if I.

Speaker 6 (14:07):
Got a check and I want to be able to
drive so I can go where I need to go. Yeah,
My point that I want to make is that it's
great information. More people that are listening near need to
hear that. The open meeting that we're planning is so
that people can come and learn about what we do
and meet other people who are successful with this and

(14:28):
having good health and improved health. And they're losing weight
as well.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
All right, real quick, we only get about a minute left.
Next week is trick or treat time? What advice would
you give to parents? Because I mean, it's natural they're
going to want to trick or treat. It's on a
Friday night this year, they're going to want to go
out and get the snickers and so on. You know
you're not, I mean, you're not an absolutist about this thing,
but of course not. I want what advice would you
give to parents or grandparents with their kids on trigger treating?

Speaker 6 (14:54):
If they're going to give out candy and you're going
to have some leftover everything, in my mind, have one,
have two. Don't take the bag away from the children
and hide it so that you can eat it. My
point is that say to your child, if there's a
lot left over, let's make it last overtime. Because the

(15:15):
sugar content isn't good for the kids either, but let's
have some overtime. What kind of answer were you looking for?

Speaker 3 (15:23):
I knew what answer you'd give me.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
That's good.

Speaker 6 (15:25):
I wanted you to get it out there to people
because moderation. You know, if somebody like I celebrated my
birthday and I wasn't in town. I was actually in
Maryland visiting with friends, and the group of people that
I was with had a little birthday party for me
on Sunday and they had a little cake and I
had a little taste and it was good, and I

(15:45):
am alive.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
Moderation, moderation, all right, give me the details on the
classes again.

Speaker 6 (15:51):
November sixth, we're having an open meeting. We meet at
Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, Canau Boulevard and Elizabeth Street ten
o'clock in the morning and also five thirty in the evening.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
What day of the week is that on the episode Thursday?

a month. Let's try to have you on. Move you

Beautification Commission for the City of Charleston, and she joins
us now, good morning.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
Welcome to the show, Good morning, thanks for having me.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
You have to follow up Millie Snyder. It's kind of
hard to do sometimes.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
She's a tough active the follow but I'm gonna try
my vest.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
You'll do fine. You'll do fine. First time I've had
you on the show. So nice to meet you. Talk
about the work of this commission overall. What exactly do
you do?

Speaker 2 (19:36):
Wonderful.

Speaker 12 (19:37):
Yeah, it's an all volunteer commission and it's made up
of twelve individuals from all over the city, different areas
of the city, different backgrounds, and we have a formal
meeting once a month appointed by the mayor. The City
Council confirms us all and we bring all of our

(19:58):
talents to the and it's beautifying the city. We have
responsibility for several parks, passive parks in the city, Ruffner Park,
Davis Park, those kinds of things, and then general beautification
of the city of Charleston. So lots of work gets
done outside of our meetings with very active committees.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
He had a tree planning ceremony in front of the
city Hall yesterday. Talk about that.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yeah, it was super fun.

Speaker 12 (20:21):
So, you know, all brought about by our Mayor Amy Goodwin,
who was just you know, full of enthusiasm and energy.
And in twenty twenty two she kind of reimagined the
commission and said, hey, we got to really get some
things done and make them happen. So she's been a
great supporter. So we had this idea back in April

(20:42):
of twenty twenty two. We sat around the table as
commissioners and said, we need big ideas, we need some change,
we need to shake it up here in Charleston.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
And one of the ideas I got thrown on the.

Speaker 12 (20:51):
Table was let's do something on the scale of Washington
TC and the cherry Blossom festival, and let's just make
our riverbank beautiful. And that was the really, Jenner, really
the beginning of the idea of planning first one thousand trees.
But I'm gonna say we got an audacious We're starting
at one thousand, but.

Speaker 3 (21:12):
We want a thousand and we want more. That's a
pretty big scale when you compared to Washington d C.
So where do the trees come from?

Speaker 12 (21:18):
Yeah, So we have partnered with the same group, the
nonprofit group that works with Washington d C. Their name
is Casey Tree. It's a nonprofit organization that they grow
the trees. They're in charge of the canopy for the
City of Washington. They've been with those cherry blossom trees
for years there. So we've partnered with them to get

(21:40):
the you know, the knowledge and the advice, and they
also supply the trees and they grow the trees.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
So that's where we purchased the trees from.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
So Okay, that I mean, that's I wasn't aware of
this this organization. That's that's pretty good stuff there. Yeah,
I mean, so I'm gonna ask you, like a really
dumb question, why is this so important?

Speaker 12 (21:58):
Well, it's important for several reasons. So we look at
it as multi pronged. We look at it as economic development.
We want to make our city attractive so people who
live here can thrive here. We want to bring tourism
to our community. We hope, you know, one day that
we'll get the throngs of people that Washington, d c.
And Japan get to see their cherry blossoms to come

(22:20):
to Charleston.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
It also has a lot to.

Speaker 12 (22:22):
Do with quality of life and the way people feel
about living in our community. To make it wonderful for
our children has a lot to do with a tree canopy.
So while we're looking at flowering trees and beautification as
our main we're also going to do tree canopies, elms,
and other things that create shade. One of the areas
is you know, Magic Island.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
It's a fun place.

Speaker 12 (22:45):
We have lots of our families and children that go
out there, but there is not a speck of shade, which.

Speaker 3 (22:51):
Is kind of important when we come around regatta time
for example.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
That's absolutely right. And you know, trees are great, I
mean trees.

Speaker 12 (22:57):
You know, you've got your bird population, your allinator population,
You've got, like I said, the shade.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
And it also cleans our air. You know, we have
all these cars.

Speaker 12 (23:06):
You know, it's a metro area, so we need to
bring in some you know, ability to clean the air.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
So the enjoyment of the community is enhance.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
You know, you mentioned the cherry blossoms in d C.
And again, you know there's a ortal difference between Charleston
and d C. We get that. But I got a
buddy of mine that actually lives in d C, and
a couple of times, you know, when I'm talking to
him about one thing or the other, he'll say, well,
it's cherry blossom season here, you know, meaning that you know,
the tourists and everything come in just just to look
at that. Now, it would be nice if we could
get that to Charleston, but I mean they had to

(23:36):
start somewhere too, right.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
That is exactly right. That is exactly right.

Speaker 12 (23:40):
Well, and it's interesting said that too, because you know,
we talked about this in with the commissions in twenty
twenty two, right, and so we've been planning this. We
just did a whole renovation of Ruffner Park, so we
just wrap that up and so we're ready to kind
of take on our next big thing.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
And so we get this call from you know, community people,
and that's you know, I.

Speaker 12 (23:59):
Always say it's like the secret sauce on anything good
in a community is to have community involvement. This is
not you know, from the top down. This is all
about all around and bringing everybody together. So we get
these folks and I'm going to tell you there, so
Reverend Jack Lippert Liphart and his daughter Lisa Red reach

(24:19):
out to the commissioners and say, hey, we want to
come talk to you our meetings of public meetings. Right,
anybody's welcome to come. Anybody has something they want us
to look at, think about talk about. We'll either say yep,
in our jurisdiction or no, can't help you.

Speaker 13 (24:31):
You know.

Speaker 12 (24:32):
So they came to our meeting and they had just
gotten back from visiting DC, and they were all excited
and jazzed up and said.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
Why can't we do that here?

Speaker 12 (24:41):
And I mean we have the ideal first setting right
all along the river right right, So that's a big
part of it. We're having this capital Connector project that's
happening that I'm sure your listeners are have some familiarity with.
So in line with that, we're gonna you know, we
want to see flowering, blossoming ease on both sides of

(25:01):
our river, right.

Speaker 14 (25:04):
Uh.

Speaker 12 (25:04):
With that, so we're going to scale up. And so
you say you got to start somewhere. You know, we're audacious,
right right.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
You know, nobody told you you couldn't.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
No what he told us we couldn't, right, Yeah.

Speaker 12 (25:15):
Yeah, So last year we planted one hundred trees around
the city, right, and we're like, all right, we got this.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
You know, we figured out.

Speaker 12 (25:21):
What's city property, what's state property, what's private property?

Speaker 2 (25:24):
Where can we play.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
That's a bigger station. Explain that. I didn't mean to
interrupt you, but but explain that how do you how
do you go about that? You know, this is this
is city property, this is state property. This is a
hybrid because sometimes that happens too. Uh and uh and
and and this is private property. How do you make
that DISTINCTIONI yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Well, well it's interesting.

Speaker 12 (25:45):
And as I said, you know, we we end up
with commissioners that have all kinds of different backgrounds, right
and and so we have a commissioner who used to
be with the Department of Highways and Department of Transportation,
So we got a little ace in the whole there
who kind of knows how to navigate that world for
us a bit. So finding those places and understanding because

(26:07):
that's you know, people from the community to come back
to us and say, we don't understand.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
Why does this look so bad? They were like, oh,
I wish we could help you, but we can't.

Speaker 12 (26:17):
So, like I said, we've done a lot of mapping
about to figure out where can we put them, what
is private, what is city property?

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Because we really can do only things on city property.

Speaker 15 (26:27):
Right.

Speaker 12 (26:28):
However, we have made some outreaches to the First Lady
of our state and she is all excited and behind
the idea of including the state Capitol grounds. So this
week we started planning thirty trees, so got to start somewhere,
as she said, yeah, so and some of those trees

(26:50):
we planted on the state Capitol grounds to include.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
That, some somebody sent a text here one to what
type of trees.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Oh gosh, that's great. So I knew there would be
someone wonderful. He's the one to talk about the trees.

Speaker 12 (27:05):
Okay, So we laugh because we have what we've described
as a tree menu. Okay, so what we're really focusing
is predominantly spring flowering trees. That's our you know, things
such as Japanese maples or excuse me, Japanese cherries, other cherries,
crab apples, plums, service berries, dogwoods, red buds, magnolias, fringe trees.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
So you know, many of your.

Speaker 12 (27:34):
Viewers listeners are probably aware of those. But we're also
going to focus on trees such as maples and elms
and other types of species that are important for urban canopy.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
Is how we refer to it.

Speaker 12 (27:49):
So, and I want your viewers or listeners to understand
that we've really carefully considered what we're going to put
where it's I'm going to tell you challenging is planting
urban trees, right because just the environment we're in, you know,
we got cars, we've got people, we got you know,
everybody's you know, the sidewalks bumple up.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
I mean, we got it. We try to manage it
the very best we coult.

Speaker 12 (28:11):
It's just challenging and survivability is challenging. So we're thinking
about that as well. So we've consulted with the West
Virginia Division of Forestry. Great partners from us, and can't
say enough about Chris Higgins. For those of you who
may not know, Chris Higgins is our city arborist. He
spends a lot of time at spring Hill.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
Chris has been on the show in the past.

Speaker 12 (28:34):
There you go spring Hill Cemetery, which is our ratch
Tree Arboretum. We have I think four you know, legendary
trees you know in the tree world that exists up there.
And this relationship with Casey Tree that I mentioned earlier
out of Washington, d C. So they really helped us
come up with that list and that tree menu. So

(28:55):
we will be publishing that so that you all can
see exactly, you know, what it is. And what's important
to when you think about planting trees is you don't
want a monoculture ray. You do not want to have
one species of a tree, because that is not healthy.
You have trees that you know have different, different lifespans

(29:16):
and different things, and you also have to be careful
about disease. And so in picking the trees, we've tried
to pick trees that you know have vitality and we
know that you know do well in environments that we're
planning them in. So happy to share that tree list
with everyone. So the people, and you know everybody has
geeks out on the Latin names and.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
The botanical names. We've got all that for you.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
It's all the things. Yes, sir, it is twenty three
minutes away from Tama Day Island show on five Any
Live brought to you a part by MORGANE. Morgan. If
you're injured to hire Morgan to Morgan, America's largest injury
law firm. We did have a text that said, and
you already answered it, but I'll read the text. Will
there be an arborist or a tree professional taking care
of these trees? As good as a job that city
workers do. They tend to plant trees too deep and

(29:59):
make multi volcanoes that inhabit proper inhibit rather, i'm sorry,
proper root growth. So they answered that question though, but.

Speaker 12 (30:07):
I'm delighted that people care that much and understand and
know that much. So that's fantastic. So yeah, we will
will absolutely and we're actually going to hire an outside
firm to do the planning of the trees because in
our research and our studies, what we've determined is it's
vital right, you got to get a planner correctly, right,
So we're going to go to an outside consultant, you know,

(30:28):
affirm to be able to do those because this is
a big undertaking you know, our city employees, while they
are fantastic, and a big shout out to Brent Webster
who does a fantastic job, you know, for caring for
our city. So but yes, we will absolutely take that
into consideration. I appreciate the feedback.

Speaker 3 (30:47):
What's your timeline looking like here?

Speaker 12 (30:48):
Okay, Well, like I said, we've got a thousand trees,
and we're saying over the next three years, we've like
I said, we've got thirty this week, nine hundred and
seventy to go. So what our hope is is, and
what's been really great is we've just gotten a you know,
wellspring of support for this financially, people sharing you know,

(31:11):
good good habits or good practices with us as well.
So our initial timeline is to do it in three years.
So you know, what we've done is, like I said,
we've set out this thousand. What we really want, we
want two to three thousand. Right that that's our that's
our big audacious.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
Plan, right, that's what we want to want to do
with this.

Speaker 12 (31:32):
So so right now, what we've done is we we've
set up a funding mechanism, right, We've got city money.
One of the things when the mayor kind of redid
the commission in twenty twenty two is shit, gave us
some money for goodness sakes, right, you can't just make
things beautiful without a budget, right, So we have some money,
so that's good. And then we also have some private

(31:54):
funders that have come in, the Jacobsen Foundation, one of
our early supporters there, the Canau Garden Club, who's again
and again supports beautification product projects across.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
The city for money.

Speaker 12 (32:09):
So this is our hope, is it's what we'll do
a big, big push early in the spring and hope
I hope to wrap up by twenty twenty eight. But
if we get the type of support that we are
hoping to get you know, this may be a longer
term install over time, so we don't want to do
more than we can manage and handle.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
Do you work with any of the school systems in
the area. I mean, because I know that there's different
organizations within public schools, and I would also think that
maybe I'm going to just go aead and throw out there.
West Virginia State, for example, you know, because they're an
agriculture school, they're really really pushing that. Now. Any any
partnerships there not.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
Not directly on this project.

Speaker 12 (32:46):
What our partnerships have been on this project is in April,
the Canau Garden Club is put together a whole bunch
of educational so partnering with West Virginia Read Aloud to
get correct them into our libraries about trees and urban
canopies and butterflies and all the things that come along

(33:09):
with it. Partnering with the Public Arts Group to be
able to do public arts with the children. So our
initial phage is really focused on school age children.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
But I love your idea about expanding it.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
Well, I mean, if you get young if you get
younger people involved. By younger, I mean public school or
even college age students they're likely to be. You know,
when when when at one point you guys say, Okay,
I'm kind of tired of this. I want to put
I want to put this aside, so get somebody else
to take it over, you know.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Yep, we're all volunteers, so yes.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
Exactly give us information where people do you have a website?
Social media? Where can people learn more about all this?

Speaker 12 (33:46):
So what we're what we're doing is we've created a
fund at the Great at Grenada Kanall Valley Foundation, and
I can give you the link to that.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
That is, we got their pencils out. It's b T.

more information on the city's website about the details of
country menu and those types of things on the City
of Charleston's website.

Speaker 3 (34:28):
Well, it's great and I appreciate you being here. A
lot of information, good stuff.

Speaker 12 (34:31):
Yeah, we're excited about it. Thank you so much for
giving us the opportunity to be here and share our
exciting story. And I just want to once again shout
out to the city Council and mayor for all the
support that they've given the commissioners to be able to
do this audacious undertaking.

Speaker 3 (34:43):

age of sixty two of cancer. That statement released from
his family. Passed away last night. I know the talk

and we will on Midday as well. As a matter
of fact, his most recent employer was US Senator Jim

say this, I first met Kenny when he was a

(40:14):
sports guy at WSAZ and he and I got into

talking about the interviewed Millie Snyder. This is all wu
first time I've heard that your body doesn't know how
to digest current foods and stores. It's full of chemicals.

(41:17):
What chemicals? Well, I would say, look at the label,
what do they do? What is the mechanism and the
food that causes harm? What preservatives are bad? Is pasteurized
milk full of chemicals and preservatives. You bet it is.
Try drinking raw milk if you want to get sick. Well,
nobody said anything about drinking raw milk, you know, at
all legislature did a couple of years ago to a

(42:00):
is sending forty billion dollars to Argentina to bail out
a hedge fund manager, investor in the Argentine economy and
Trump donor Robson Trode. That forty billion dollars will also
prop up the Argentine falling right wing pipulist government. That
forty billion dollars is added to the deficit and will
likely contribute to inflation. Top of all that, Trump is
going to sue the government and pay himself hundreds of

Aaron Parker with that story posted this morning wv Metro
New's dot coy busy June next June of the City
of Charleston yesterday the mayor announcing the USA Cycling Pro
Road National Championships will be back next year. Of course

(43:25):
we knew that already, It's in the contract, but we
didn't have the dates. June seventeenth through the twenty first.
That's big news and a whole lot of money for
the economy. The big news though that came out of it,
or maybe equal to that, this USA Gymnastics for All Jimfest.
That's happening that the Connells Seem Convention Center June twenty fifth,

(43:46):
the week after the Pro Road Bike Championships June twenty
through the twenty eighth, And again Aaron Parker's got the
story posted about it over at the website. Over five
hundred athletes be coming in for this and this is
abbs absolutely huge for the city and the entire region.
More great things going on, and I'm just going to

(44:08):
go ahead and say this. And I hesitated whether I
should bring this up or not, But when does that
ever stop me?

Speaker 8 (44:13):
Before?

Speaker 3 (44:15):
I had to laugh at one of the comments on
one of the TV station's social media pages yesterday, someone
complained about the mayor and the events and said, quote,
there's nothing for people of color. That was an exact
quote from somebody on one of the TV news sites yesterday.
That may very well be the most racist thing that

(44:38):
I have ever heard, because people of color can't enjoy
bicycling and gymnastics. And by the way, the person that
posted that was a person of color. So what you're
saying is is that people of color cannot enjoy gymnastics.
I would probably point you toward the name Simone Biles

(44:58):
just saying. Tim Brad of the CVB will be on
the show tomorrow to talk about that and other events.

great event, not not you know, I'm not but not
picking and choosing. I'm just saying there's a lot of
great events going on in Charleston, tex says I wonder
what activities that person of color would suggest are personal
color activities that the city could promote. That's a text true.

(48:14):
I just I don't know. For some reason, I just
thought that that was just a bizarre statement for somebody
to make. But maybe that's just me. I'm want to
bring this up, and you know me, I am not
a Donald Trump fan. He's a president of the United
States and I want him to succeed, But personally I'm
not necessarily a fan, but I always want the president

(48:35):
to do well. Anyway, this whole hooplaw over him putting
a ballroom in the White House. Here's what I say
to that. So what it's private donations And if you're
keeping score at home, Every president, every president or first

(48:58):
lady has made significant changes to the White House. It
comes with being president. The West Wing was very controversial
when it was first announced by Teddy Roosevelt. Harry Truman
completely rebuilt the White House. Every president and or first lady,

(49:22):
everyone has done something to the White House. Gerald Ford
added a pool, Lady Bird, Johnson redesigned the East garden.
Taft made the Oval office, and there's so many jokes
there that I might go in toward made it actually oval.
Uh fdr included an indoor pool for himself. Nixon added

(49:47):
a bowling alley, and we don't even want to talk
about what Bill Clinton did in there. So I mean,
I'm sorry to poet to quote my good friend Pastor Collins,
miss me, miss me with that outrage. I like you,
and I saw the footage on television of you know,
the cranes and what being taken to the back of

(50:07):
the White House. I didn't particularly care for it either,
to be honest with you. But he's the president duly
elected president, and every president and every first lady has
done something to the White House. So comes comes with
the title on the door. But Dave Island showing five

Meadows is here. How you doing, man? I don't like it?
You don't like it? I don't mind it. I think
it's fine.

Speaker 15 (50:44):
The thing I don't like is when they have altered
the East wing like they were taking some of the
East wing off yesterday.

Speaker 3 (50:50):
And if you saw this, I.

Speaker 15 (50:51):
Don't care for that. Make it. I put it there
on the grounds that's fine. Just I wouldn't have altered
the east wing. That's all I'm well.

Speaker 3 (50:59):
Here is uh and yes it's Texas said Obama. Put
it in a basketball court. I think I mentioned that.
If not, I certainly meant to, you know, I just
I don't. I don't really care to be honest with you.
I'm more concerned with what's going on with governmental shutdowns. Oh, Yeah,
I'm more concerned with what's going on in Argentina than
I am whether the president puts a ballroom on there

(51:21):
that's going to be used by other presidents after I'm not.
I don't really care that much. Yeah, just I mean,
I don't Rose Garden, No Rose Garden. The next sky
will do whatever you want. I mean Bill Clinton did
whatever he wanted in there, that's for sure, Texas days.
Don't you know that every little thing being declared racist

(51:42):
is the acceptable, encouraged and defended stand to take in
this insane, woke world. Tex says the East Wing is
the first Lady's Wing. No wonder Trump is tearing it down.
Milania has no idea of what to do about anything.

Speaker 15 (51:54):
