Speaker 2 (02:25):
Welcome to the show now the mayor of the city
of Hurricane Scott Edwards. Good morning, Mayor, welcome to the show.

Speaker 5 (02:30):
Good morning to you. How are you doing.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
I am doing. I am doing great man. Thanksgiving week
is here means lots of turkey and all the sides.
The Black Friday sales are going to be going on
in small business Saturday.

Speaker 5 (02:43):
Talk about it absolutely well. I'm speaking of food. I'm
sitting in the woods right now hoping to hoping to
get the big one, but I haven't seen anything yet.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
You hold on, hold on, hold on. You actually took
time from sitting in the woods to call under the.

Speaker 5 (03:00):
Show now not the show, to talk to you.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Ah you well, you know you're on the air, right.

Speaker 5 (03:06):
I know it's only because it's only because of you
that I'm doing this.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
I feel privileged, Mayor, I feel.

Speaker 5 (03:11):
Privileged, absolutely absolutely. I'm out at my farm in Hamlin
and waiting for the big one. All right, it's a
beautiful day, but small business Saritay is coming up. And
earlier this morning, while I was in the woods, I
issued a proclamation. I pushed it on Facebook, talking about
small business starity and and you know my feelings on this.
It should be every day. I mean, I push our

(03:34):
small businesses each and every day. But I really hope
that this week and especially Saturday, people people really really
make a difference because a lot of these small businesses,
this Saturday is a big deal for them and get
them over the hump. It is a huge deal. And
we have a ton of small businesses in Hurricane all
throughout Putnam County and and our whole region. Really, we

(03:54):
want everybody to shop local. Wherever you're listening from, go
local and shop local. There's like thirty some big and
small businesses in America. It's the backbone of the American
economy treeions of dollars. I mean, it's it's what we
need to do we need to keep money lobal.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Yeah, one hundred percent. We're talking to Hurricane mayor Scott Edwards. Now,
look at if you you get a deer that comes
in your path and you need to you know, just
tell me to be quiet. That's fine. I mean, you know,
I don't want to scare it all.

Speaker 5 (04:20):
Nobody's ever told you to be quiet.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Well, they have, It just doesn't work. It doesn't work
in the pass. Talk about some of the small businesses
that you have in hurricane that people may not be
aware of. And as you said, this is this is
across the country thing, and we're going to be talking
in detail about this over the next couple of days
on hearing on Metro News mid Day as well. But
talk about some of the businesses that you have in hurricane.

Speaker 5 (04:39):
You know, some of the few that come to mind,
like with farm Supply. I know that sounds it's a
small business. They have lots of stuff that people should
just just buy every day there. But if you want
to shop for Christmas like oodles, I love oodles on
Main Street. I shot there from my wife for all
kinds of occasions and Sunny Sky's Boutique. Now I don't

(05:01):
shop for myself there, but for my wife and my daughters.
A really awesome one on Main Street is Bearwood. And
you've been to Bearwood many times, Dave and and the
all the all the products that are made out of
out of locally sourced wood. All your Christmas shopping can
be done in Bearwood. Or go see my friend Don
bryll is up up at Calvin Brool's Jewelers in tays Valley.

(05:23):
Or you know, we have a skate park right right,
Sea Park, a Willbillys by your kid, a scooter, a skateboard,
a mountain bike, and there's so many others of iris.
Any boutique and bell Knapped Dough Company one of the
favorite places to eat, you know. You know, let's more
food ideas and so many people today they always say, man,

(05:43):
we need more restaurants, we need.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
More, which I laugh at when I hear that, Mayor
I'm not gonna lie to you. I actually laugh out loud.
I actually l o l when I hear that in Tays.

Speaker 5 (05:52):
Valid So you think about you think about Sergio's, Barberino's fireside,
bear Ways Bridge Cafe and Bistro, on our barbecue, even
Fairley's famous hot dogs right and Hurricane and then you
can go over to the Sweet mom is right across
in the reservoir for all the sweets you can ever
think of. And this is not an inclusive list, by

(06:13):
the way. Oh yeah, that's no safe imagination. This is
a few I took quick notes on while sitting here
looking for the big buck.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
And I do want to mention because since you know,
you're the mayor of Hurricane, but we are talking about things,
you know, up and down the valley there there is
going to be an event at Area thirty four on Saturday.
They always blow it out in there. I talked to
Ashley offer Glance from the Chamber of Commerce on Friday
about that there's an event at Area thirty four, also
a huge event, a vendor event. I think there's over

(06:42):
fifty or sixty vendors are going to set up shop
at Valley Park on Saturday as well.

Speaker 5 (06:47):
Absolutely, and we all look forward to that and it
should be big, and I really hope it's big. We
I mean, if everybody can just spend to make an effort,
to spend just a couple extra dollars at a locally
owned business, is yourself go there instead of going to
a big box and if everybody does that, just make
one small even a small purchase will launch these businesses

(07:09):
way over the finish line for the year. And the
other thing it keeps money local and we can spend
it again and it gets spent again and again and
it stays local. It does not leave leave Hurrikan or
Putnam County. And we want that. It helps our economy. Bro,
I mean, it is the backbone of our local economy.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
And as people listeners mayor have heard me say time
and time again, these are the folks buy and large
that donate to your Little League teams. These are the
folks that will donate to your church event and things
of that nature. Is this is where it goes. And
I'm not saying that major corporations don't do that from
time to time. And look, I have said many times
before that these major big box stores or whatever, they

(07:47):
employ a lot of West Virginians and there's a place
for that one hundred percent. I get that. But these
are the ones that are more than likely if you
come in and say, hey, can we have a donation
for our Scout troop for the band or major rats
or cheerly heads. What are the kis Be. These are
the ones that all that always step up to the plate, Daves.

Speaker 5 (08:04):
I believe every one of those that I mentioned. I
could walk into today and say hey, I need a
donation for whatever, the Little League, the Scouts, that the cheerleaders, whatever,
and they would I would walk out with either cash
or check.

Speaker 6 (08:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (08:18):
I mean that that's that's small business USA and we
need to support small business USSA. And now's our time again,
not just Necessariday, start today. I mean, let's let her
rip and just you know, skip the big box store
this week and go go small business, go down to Oodles.
I'm actually heading to Doodles this week. Hope my wife's
not not listening, but I want to get some Christmas

(08:40):
gifts at Oodles. Lisa Busti's the owner. She's wonderful and
has a unbelievable selection of anything you could possibly imagine.
I walk in the door and she says for your wife.
I say yes, and she goes and picks me out
three or four things. It's great, indeed.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
And uh and you know, gift cards are all the rage,
you know from all these differ places, these local places.
I mean, I'm going to say that ninety nine percent,
but ninety nine percent likelihood that they all offer gift
certificates of some kind, so you could go. You mentioned,
we mentioned some of the fine restaurants that we have
in Tays Valley, the Fairways, Fireside, eleanor Barbecue. You could
go in there and you could purchase maybe for a

(09:16):
family member or maybe if you do a drawing at
work and you don't always know what Bob from accounting wants.
You know, everybody likes food. You and I take it
to a different level, mayor, but I mean, but everybody,
but everybody likes food. Go in the well of this
places and get a gift card or gift certificate.

Speaker 5 (09:31):
Absolutely, I'm sure they all offer it. I know, Bobrino's, Sergio's,
I mean, I know they do. I buy them all
the time and have them on my desk to give
away when when need be. So yes, just go buy
a gift card. Again, let's all together, everybody's listening. Push
these small businesses across the finish line. I mean, really
make them have an awesome year. And if each of
us do something, one little something instead of clicking a

(09:54):
button ordering from Amazon, drive down to you know, drive
down to do Willbillies or Bearwood or Sunny Skies or
Oodles or wherever or wherever you're at and buy something.
I know it's so easy to sit on the couch
and click. I do it all the time. But this week,
go buy something, just one thing, Go buy local, and

(10:14):
it will make a massive, massive difference.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
What's on the horizon for Hurricane I mean, as we
head into the new year, anything, anything big exciting we
should know about. I mean, I know you've got the
housing project. I know there's and I might not say hurrican,
I'm not just talking about the city of Hurkan. I'm
talking about the entire Taes Valley area. I know, I
saw they're really making progress on a new restaurant facility
there as well. What's uh, what are you looking at
over the next couple of months as we head into
the new year.

Speaker 5 (10:37):
Well, there's lots of stuff. A few things that are
on the cusp of being able to be announced but
not quite yet. And uh, you mentioned the new the
new restaurant. That's that's happening soon and some announcements will
be coming out about that as well. If you're referring
to the walm Taye Valley Road and that'll that'll be
awesome as well. Uh, they're soft open right now and
they'll heard open in a week or so, I believe,

(10:58):
so it'll be awesome. But there is actually a lot
of stuff that's happening. I expect quarter one of twenty
twenty six will be huge for a lot of people.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
All Right, Well, Mayor wish you luck out there on
the range today. You say you're hunting in Hamlin. Is
that where you're out in Lincoln County?

Speaker 5 (11:17):
Yeah, I have one hundred acre farm out here in
Hamlin and it's beautiful. It's about thirty seven degrees, the
sun's up and it's it's beautiful out here. Right now.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
I'm going to ask you how the fog is, because
it was pretty intense when I drove in about seven
o'clock or so this morning from the valley.

Speaker 5 (11:31):
That's what's making it beautiful. There's still there's still fog
cover and it's but it's awesome.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
It's awesome, all right, Hurricane Mayor Scott Edwards. I appreciate
you being here, man. Good luck to you and I'll
probably see you around this Saturday.

Speaker 5 (11:42):
Thank you, sir.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
All right, that's the mayor of Hurricane Scott Edwards again,
and I like what the mayor said. We should support
these small businesses year round. But if you but if
you can, you know, and we focus on hurricane this
time around, but there's plenty in South Charleston, Saint Albans, Charleston,
all these towns are going to be doing something for
small Businessaturday. So can support these small businesses for Dave

Police Department's recruitment efforts. Jason Webb is the department's deputy chief,

(16:22):
and he joins us in the Jerah Construction studios this morning.
Good morning, sir, welcome to the show.

Speaker 10 (16:26):
Good morning, Thank you for having me.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
What's the optimal number that you'd like to I mean,
no matter what the number is for officers, you want
more and I get that, understanding that completely. What's where
would you like to be? Where'd you folks like?

Speaker 10 (16:39):
Ultimately, I'd like to get us to one seventy three.
We haven't been there, and I would say probably over
a decade, but anywhere you get. So right now, I
think we have a round one fifty one, one fifty two.
We are fine as far as providing services go. Our
specialized units are are fully staffed. But the more officers
we have we could prepare for retirements down the road.

(17:00):
It allows us to maybe put some officers in specialized
units that could use some more you know, some more
people in there, some more some people to get stuff
jobs done that need done outside of the patrol division.
So anything extra we have we can always dedicate to
the Hybrid Unit. Those are the guys you see out
riding the bikes and dealing with some of the populations
that are a little less desirable for some people, you know,

(17:23):
just making sure that the quality of life crimes are
getting covered and make sure that we're doing the best
we can to just you know, keep keep everyone out
and happy and enjoy the city of Charleston.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
Talk about some of those different departments that you have
within the department. I mean, you talked about the Hybrid Unit,
but give me an example of.

Speaker 10 (17:38):
Okay, if we have the Criminal Investigation Division, it's our
detective Bureau, Charleston's not kind of like the bigger cities
that have, you know, someone dedicated to property crimes, someone
dedicated to murder, someone dedicated to domestics. We kind of
run the gambit of all of those things as a detective.
Charleston Police departmacy where many hats as a detective. We
also have the Metro Drug Unit. We have several officers

(18:00):
assigned to that. They focused primarily on larger drug trafficking organizations.
Larger drug trafficking organizations that would basically do the larger
level drug deals. And then we have a new unit.
We call it the Strategic Response Unit. It replaced our
old Tree Crimes unit. It's kind of gone a new direction.

(18:22):
It's more of a community oriented special project unit. So
the best example I can think of recently is we
had those overdoses over on the West Side and East
End where they had mixed some bad dope and we
were basically had to drop some guys in that area
get the problem solved quickly because people were overdosing, and

(18:42):
we were able to do that with this new unit.
And stuff like that we can do as long as
we keep our numbers up.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
So where are the people going. And by the way,
I do want to say this is not limited to
the Charleston area. I mean I have folks from the
Sheriff's department on every city in West Virginia and every
city across the country would probably right now that we
need more bodies. If they leave the Charleston Police Department,
for example, where are they going? Are they going outside
law enforcement in general? Or where are people going?

Speaker 10 (19:09):
Some are some are leaving. I know I had a
unique perspective when I worked at m Dent before this,
where I supervise officers from every department, so I got
a chance to Some of them are leaving to go
sell fire extinguishers because they paid more money. Some people
are leaving just to be honest. Police works kind of
become like mercenary work to an extent. We have a
certified bonus that we offered to certified officers. You come here,

(19:32):
you work for three years, you get a fifteen thousand
dollars bonus in like three increments. Other departments add the
same thing. So sometimes you have police officers that are
young and they'll go from one police department, get their
certified bonus, work those years to pay off. Make sure
they don't pay that bonus back, and then they'll go
to another agency pays relatively the same, get that bonus,
kind of bounce around a little bit until they want

(19:53):
to settle down, and then you've got just police work
as a whole. It's a hard profession. So just because
you get hired as a police officer at the Charles's
Police Department doesn't mean you're going to make it through
the academy. Doesn't mean you're going to make it through
our FTO program. We have to vet the people to
work force, and that's a year long process a lot
of times, so we may I will say this year
we've been pretty lucky. We've had a class of eleven,

(20:15):
which was the largest one we've had in I think
my class was two thousand and five and we had fifteen.
I think it was the largest class since then. But
we lost I think roughly three or four of those
individuals from that class just because they couldn't make it
through the academy or the FTO program.

Speaker 6 (20:29):
We've got five we're going to try to hire coming
up soon.

Speaker 10 (20:32):
Those things where you can't guarantee that somebody you hire
makes it out of the academy kind of makes it
hard to deal with these issues too.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
So talk about what goes on when you go through
the academy or the other training programs.

Speaker 10 (20:44):
What is that like a lot of it for what
we noticed to begin with, we basically to help people
through that process. We started hiring them four to six
weeks out, which a lot of that is just getting
people in early. They'll work with some of our officers
on their physical fitness level so that when they get
to the academy it's not such a shock to them.

(21:04):
I was guilty of it too when I came out
of high school. I spent quite a few years playing
video games and eat potato chips and drinking the mountain
and do stuff like that. And then when I went
to uh TO.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
For me, it was the Air Force.

Speaker 10 (21:16):
I went to the Air Force and it was an
I open experience to take my first PT test because
I thought I was in good shape because I'd been
halfway's in shape in high school, and.

Speaker 11 (21:22):
It turns out I was not.

Speaker 10 (21:23):
So what people that get off the couch and come
to our test and not do so well on the
physical fitness side of the test, and we'll have them
come back and they'll they'll do better the next time.
But we try to get them physically prepared for the
academy because it's a very mentally taxing, almost like a
paramilitary style boot camp type settings.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
That's what I've always been told. It's not it's it
is physical, but there's a lot of mental aspects of
going to it too well.

Speaker 10 (21:44):
Yeah, So we do the best we can to prepare
them physically, so the mental side of it's a lot easier,
so and the physical. The mental side of it's you know,
you're you're looking at sleep deporation, do distress you're looking
at at maybe not the the.

Speaker 6 (21:57):
Environment you're used to.

Speaker 10 (21:59):
I would not say that academy staff is your mother
or father or someone who's That's not why they're there.

Speaker 6 (22:04):
They're not there.

Speaker 10 (22:04):
They're there to weed out the people, and I think
West Virginia does a really good job of it. They're
there to weed out the people who don't handle stressed
very well, so that you don't you don't have these
split second decisions where you have to, you know, make
a decision that affects somebody's life and you've just vay
porlocked because of stress. So we do a good job
of weading those out that also costs us some applicants
every time too, and rightfully so.

was it about police work that appealed to you?

Speaker 10 (22:53):
My mother told me when I was six, I always
want to be either a garbage man or a police officer.

Speaker 6 (22:57):
So I went with.

Speaker 10 (22:58):
Police officer, but the uniform that you wanted to know.
My father worked in ems. He was notorious for a
few passing on the side of the road that had
a flat tire. If you saw someone in need, you
stopped and helped him, and I think he kind of
instilled that sense of service into me, and I grew
up reading science fiction and fantasy novels, and there was
always that going out and saving the world aspect of

(23:21):
those novels and videos and movies that I really enjoyed.
And I just generally just wanted to help people, which
sounds really cheesy and cliche, but that's true.

Speaker 6 (23:28):
It's kind of where I'm at.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
So it's a special type person. And this is like
the understatement of the year, officer. It's a special type
person that could do police work, especially in twenty twenty five,
because you know there are in the in the I
don't know how. I don't know how you guys do it,
and gals, I don't know how you do it. I mean,
you have my utmost respect for having to do a

(23:52):
job that in some instances, and I don't think this
is true of the general population, but in some instances
has become almost villa over the last couple of years.

Speaker 6 (24:01):
Yeah, it's been rough.

Speaker 10 (24:02):
And I'll say this if I could, just to go
back on what I said earlier. I think early when
I talked about the hybrid unit, I mentioned that they
deal with the less than desirable, and that's more of
a public perception that's not the perception of our officers.
So what I will say about police work that I
think is unique is that a lot of times you
get into it and you have to do patrol for
a couple of years just to get your feet kind
of under you and understand law and stuff like that.

(24:24):
But we get a chance to work with like the
Cares team through Charleston, the Hybrid Unit's worth the care
from Charleston. And if you wanted to maybe do police
work but kind of be a little more on the
social work side, that gives you an opportunity to help
the people that are less fortunes than you that and
get them into services they need and try to try
to help them get off the streets or get off

(24:45):
addiction stuff like that.

Speaker 6 (24:46):
And you've got you know.

Speaker 10 (24:47):
Swat teams and boat teams and dive teams and just
stuff that you can look back on the end of
your life and say, hey, I really did something.

Speaker 5 (24:56):
You know.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
So if people listening right now and they have an
interest in this, and now I want to I want
to learn more information, or maybe I want to you know,
I'm seeking information from my child or my grandchild. What
do they need to do? I would go to our
Facebook page.

Speaker 10 (25:10):
First, there's several postings for one our test are I
think our next one's December sixth, Then we have another
one in January on the twenty fourth, I believe. But
if you have questions, I know I'll plug Sergeant Travis Bales,
he's in our Community Service Division, he's the commandity, does
a lot of our recruitment stuff. And then Sergeant Dennis West,
he's in our Training division. Those guys kind of work
hand in hand on just getting people into the profession

(25:32):
and helping them through. I mean, we'll help you study,
will help you get in shape, We'll do everything we
can to make sure you're ready for the academy.

Speaker 6 (25:37):
And those are the guys to talk to you.

Speaker 10 (25:38):
If you just want to ask questions, you can call
the Chief's office, you can call any of our offices,
and we'll gladly try to answer questions as the best
we can put people's mind at ease.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
So not talking from a physical aspect, but what from
a mental aspect or anything other than physical? What makes
a good officer? What are you? What are you looking for?
Not not how many miles they can run or push
off anything I get, but from you know, when you
from a character standpoint, what makes a good police officer.

Speaker 10 (26:06):
So we always want someone who's got a lot of integrity.
I like somebody that can work without a lot of direction,
because when you think about it, you're a patrol officer.
It's two o'clock in the morning, one o'clock in the morning,
and you get a call and it's you and maybe
one other person, and I'm at home in bed.

Speaker 5 (26:21):
I know.

Speaker 10 (26:22):
One of the things that I always appreciated is the
fact that I can sleep through the night not worrying
about the decision my police officer make. Is so if
you could, you have good common sense, can make a
good decision, You work well without having to be told
what to do every step of the way. Those are
all great characteristics for a police officer. And of course
you want integrity and you want people that you can trust.
If you're taking money off of somebody and putting proper

(26:42):
in evidence, we don't have to worry about that missing
and stuff like that. We want people of integrity. We
want the best of the best, and I understand that's
tough to get sometimes.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Well, we wish you the best. We'll have you back
on anytime you want to come on to talk about
the testing and whatever, and we have a story again

(31:11):
now our good friend Danny Jones.

Speaker 6 (31:12):
How you doing, man, I'm doing fine, Thank you? All right.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
First of all, I got to tell you I finished
the book, all right. You came in here last week
and you gave me a copy, and I read a
great deal of it Monday night, and then I had
some stuff going on Tuesday night, and I finished a
little bit Wednesday. I think Thursday night, I was completely
done with the book. Excellent job, my friend. It was
a great book.

Speaker 6 (31:34):
You read about my time at the Daniel Byn.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
I read everything in it cover to cover, and I'll
say this, and this is not a criticism, Okay, I
I thought you when I asked you once before about
writing a book, you said, well, I don't know, it
may hurt some people or whatever. The only person who's
going to walk away from that book being hurt is you.

(32:00):
You allowed people in the book to give their real
feelings about about Danny Jones, and some of them I
don't want to say that they were mean or anything
like that, but you get called to the carpet by
a couple of those people.

Speaker 6 (32:15):
In the book. Yeah, yeah, Well Tom Lane was the
head of the Needle Caucus, and he was he was
pretty rough. But the chapter after that with jb Acres
and jb Acres exposed that needlele change for that so
called needle mill what it was as a fraud. And

(32:35):
by the way, I don't know if you notice, but
Cable Hunton they closed their Yeah yeah, I knew what
they were doing. Yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
But the book is very interesting in the way it's written,
because I only knew before I sat down to read it, Danny,
what you told me on the show. So I didn't
have any idea. But it's written. Some of it's written
by you others or you know, it'll it will say,
you know, fill in name here reflects on this particular situation.
And you have a lot of a lot of people

(33:03):
that that weighed in on the book.

Speaker 6 (33:06):
There's a guy that had a chapter named after him,
Richard Butler, and I think that I hadn't been for him,
I'm not sure i'd be sitting here today because we
were just bouncing around the hub pool room. And and
he got offered that job the twenties, and then George
went up after him. Well I couldn't go. I was

(33:28):
I looked fourteen years old. So I went back to
the Sterling stayed there til I closed. And at that
point I became in my life, became indelibly hooked to
the streets. I was no longer anything but a street
kid after that.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
And here's the interesting thing about it. And somebody pointed
this out to me the other day, and talking that
hadn't read the book that talked to me about it, though,
they said, well, you know it was their feeling that
you refer to yourself as being from the from the streets,
but you came from a life of privilege. However, when
you read the book and you talked about that a

(34:06):
little bit here, I don't say that you turned your
back on that, but but you didn't really fit in
in your own house, is what it seems, because and
I don't mean that as a criticism, I mean you
just didn't. I mean that didn't seem to be the
life that you want. And you've led a very successful life,
but you did that pretty much on your own. I mean,

(34:28):
without the without the money and whatever with the family.

Speaker 6 (34:32):
I would have left that house as soon as I
had eighteen years old. But I had my race car
out in the garage, and I had my frame and
my chainfall and had all my tools, and I built
a race car out there. So I left when I
was drafted. Otherwise i'd have been gone.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
Yeah, you did a book signing at Taylor Books on
Saturday afternoon. I saw a couple of posts on social
media from people about that. How did that go?

Speaker 5 (35:01):
Went?

Speaker 14 (35:01):
Real?

Speaker 6 (35:01):
Well? Ran out of books? Yeah, it was you know.
Back in those days. See, you could stay at the
Roughner Hotel and with a bathroom for fifteen dollars a week.
You could stay with a bathroom down the hall for
ten dollars a week. So that's where I lived if
I hadn't had the race car. But I had the

(35:24):
race car in the summer sixty nine when I was eighteen,
so I couldn't live. I turned nineteen in August and
was drafted in September, and by November I was gone.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
I can't imagine what it would have been like growing
up and just being living your life in the summer
of nineteen sixty nine in Charleston, was Virginia, or any
city for that matter. Yeah, because you know, and we
have a tendency to go back and romanticize, you know,
times that this was the greatest decade or that was
a great this decade. There's good and bad in all

(36:01):
of them. But just knowing what was going on in
the country in nineteen sixty nine with Vietnam, with that
didn't effect with us well, but I mean just I
get I don't know.

Speaker 6 (36:11):
Well, I mean it affected you because you were going
to get drafted, right, yeah, And I was going to
get drafted. I didn't go to I didn't go to college,
so I was going to get drafted. All my friends
got drafted. I mean my friends that I hung out with,
and some of them are still alive. But there's so much.

(36:33):
There were a lot of First thing, let me tell
you something something in the book. I did not allow
street hookers to sit at my bar. Okay, you know
girls have come up and try to pick up guys first,
saying it's not good for business. They come in, guy

(36:56):
buys one drink and they're gone. Well, how does that
help the bar? The bartender taking a cut, and I
certainly didn't wasn't taking a cut. The bellman were, and
the bellman got mad when I stopped it, because I
put a stop to it. But there were a lot
of high end call girls, and I knew them all

(37:22):
easy now and they're all dead now, So I'll say
they wore. A lot of them worked at the heart
of town. Aunt, do you want me shut up? No,
you're fine, all right.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
Long long as you keep walking that line, you're fine.

Speaker 6 (37:37):
All right. A lot of them worked at the heart
of town, and they made a lot of money waiting
on tables. But they'd get off at two o'clock and
they could go out and turn the trick and make
another five hundred and because there was that kind of
money at the heart of town. But when you're a

(37:59):
bar tender, you don't pay.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
And on that note, we'll leave it there, all right.

Speaker 6 (38:10):
Well that's true. I mean, that's and that was my
life at that point when I was twenty three years old,
and when I was twenty three years old, that was
my greatest, wildest year from the time I turned twenty
three and I turned twenty four in August, and right

(38:32):
after that I left the Boon. The Boon's the best
job I ever had. You said that before as a
young person. Harry, the guy that wrote in Broad Daylight,
you know, that Skidmore Skidmore guy. He says, how did
you get from There's a female character in that book,

(38:56):
her named Rita? Did you read about Rita? How did
you get from read to to be in Sheriff Kennal County?
He said, that's the story right there. You know, why
how did you? And so, I mean, when you look
back on it and think about it, it is kind

(39:18):
of odd.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
It's very You've led the most unique life of anybody
I've ever met. And I mean as far as the
different things that you've done in this book, I think
really lays all that out. And if you're looking for
a book, that is going to be here was my
biggest surprise for the book, Danny. If you're looking for
a book, that's going to be two hundred or some

(39:38):
odd pages of Danny Jones saying I did this. I
remember that this is not that kind of book because
there are certain reflections from you, but there's also a
lot of reflections, as I mentioned earlier, Danny, from other people,
Lowry being one, Richard Butler, Yeah, several several people.

Speaker 6 (39:56):
And if it wasn't for those, well, I just wish
George would have lived. You know, my best friend George Jarrett.
He was the triple of Richard and Me and George Jerrett.
But George died twenty twenty one, and I just wish
she'd live to contribute to the book and read the

(40:18):
book because we were I mean, it was a wild
time back and when I was twenty three years old,
that was the wildest of the wild.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
And one of the things, too, is that we talked
about all the things that you've done, from being sheriff
to mayor, to a legislator, actor, restaurant tour. There was
things I learned in the book that I know you
pretty well, Danny, that that I didn't know about you,
that you had done all these jobs. I didn't know
that you drove a James mansion for Yeah, I was
totally unaware of that.

Speaker 6 (40:51):
He was. I'll tell you a quick story. He when
he was running for secretary sake, like seventy six, and
he had a a Ford, a condoline van with a
caboose back in, you know, you know, can you picture

(41:12):
that it had a crank and everything. So we went
to Belgrade school and you thought Santa Claus walked in
the room and there was real heavy set kid. He
walked up and started tugging at him. He says, hey,
mister Manson, are you running for secretary of State? And
he said why yes, And he says, well, I'll tell

(41:36):
my parents, and he says, give them my reards.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
And if you knew A. Jane's mansion. I didn't know
him well obviously, but I can remember him him coming around,
you know, to schools when I was when I was
in school. That's well, that's the way he sounded well.

Speaker 6 (41:51):
And then he turned he got on the back end
of it. All the kids came outside and he worked
at Just like a train car, he said, Danny drive
very slowly, so I just verily creaked along. And he
was there shaking hands on all those kids and waving at him.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
And.

Speaker 6 (42:13):
He was quite the campaigner.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
So what's the response been to the book for the people?
I mean, like you just came out, you know, not
long ago, and I don't know that everybody's finished it yet.
I finished mine, but I don't know what everybody has.
For those of have even read a little bit, what
did you hear when you were.

Speaker 6 (42:26):
I haven't yet. Okay, you're the only one.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
Okay, all right, Well I have a feeling you're going
to get a really really I mean, like you said
that Taylor books you sold out on Saturday.

Speaker 6 (42:36):
Right, it's a the only thing you got to worry
about if the blue parts pot of you.

Speaker 14 (42:45):
It's not.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
I mean it's not at all. I mean this book,
in my opinion, I thought it was going to be
you love to use the turn blue. I thought it
would be bluer than it was. I'll give it a pg.
Thirteen If it were.

Speaker 6 (42:55):
Well and I was going to there was so much
more stuff I could read, and I just we would
have you know, who ended it. I told you it
was you. Are you gonna put the recipes in it?
And I said, well, that'd be in the next book.
And I went home told Charlie, Charlie, we got to

(43:16):
finish this book. Let's and he said fine, So we
finished it.

Speaker 2 (43:21):
We'll get the recipe book out there at some point.

Speaker 6 (43:23):
But I thought, Otis is the Odyssey of Otis. I
thought that was good.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
It was very good.

Speaker 6 (43:29):
And he talked, he talked a little bit about the family.
He did, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (43:34):

low down on Danny's family, you'll get it from Danny,

Washington when you were mayor, but please criticize people who
try to help iv drug users.

Speaker 6 (46:42):
Yeah, as far as the West Washington Street, we made
enormous amount of arrest down there, and we did a
lot of reversals. In other words, we would stage women
out there and to rest the guys and that would

(47:02):
help out some and it really take the people off.

Speaker 6 (47:28):
Did I say e book?

Speaker 2 (47:30):
Well, yeah, I think you did, because somebody this, Yeah. Well,
I don't know that you said the words e book,
but this person has texted a couple of times asking
if it would be available as an audiobook or an
ebook or.

Speaker 6 (47:44):
I don't think so. I mean, I it's not it's
not going to be that big.

Speaker 2 (47:51):
Well, I mean you sold out at Taylor Books the
other day and you had books. Well, but still it's

sixties before we passed the private club liquor law when
