Speaker 6 (02:00):
All right, I'm Tom Susman and welcome to the valley today.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
And I'm at the Mason.
Speaker 6 (02:04):
County Fair Fairs and politics kind of intertwine and Canada's
are there, and I'm at the Democratic booth where they're
selling food and in Canada for the House of Delegates
in the seventeenth district, which is Jackson, a part of
Jackson and Mason County.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
And can you tell me your name?
Speaker 7 (02:21):
Yes, Hime, my name is Kat Wiland.
Speaker 6 (02:23):
Now, Kat, you're gonna run for the House in twenty
twenty six.
Speaker 7 (02:27):
Yes, that's correct.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Tell me a little bit about yourself.
Speaker 8 (02:30):
So, I'm a teacher. I'm originally from New Haven. My
family and I live there now. I'm teaching at New
Haven Elementary. This year is my sixteenth year as a teacher,
and as a teacher and as a mother and being
out in the community.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
I just there's some things that I.
Speaker 8 (02:45):
Think can you fixed a little bit, And I feel
like getting a new fresh set of eyes and maybe
again another teacher's perspective.
Speaker 7 (02:52):
We have a couple of teachers.
Speaker 8 (02:53):
In the House and if you in the Senate, but
I think getting another teacher in there will really help.
You Know, we're struggling with education right now in West Virginia,
and I'm really hoping kind of with my knowledge of
education and things like that and what we need fixed Peia,
things like that, that hopefully I can get on board
and we can get things fixed, and we can get
people back in West Virginia. We can get teachers staying
in West Virginia. There are so many that are leaving.
(03:14):
I talked with Superintendent Sacks, who's over in Berkeley, County.
I'm going through and calling all the superintendents alphabetically. So
I've talked to Barbara County. I've parked to Berkeley County,
and they're struggling right now. People leaving and going to Virginia,
staying in West Virginia and living, but going to other
states and getting you know, forty thousand dollars more.
Speaker 7 (03:30):
So that's really a big issue.
Speaker 8 (03:31):
We have good teachers, but we need to keep them,
and you know, we need to train them, and we
just we need to keep our West Virginians here with us.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Did you ever thank you to be running for office?
Speaker 7 (03:42):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 9 (03:43):
No.
Speaker 8 (03:43):
I was actually a page in the Senate whenever I
was a kid.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I he'd you paid for?
Speaker 7 (03:48):
We paid for? Of course you asked me too fast.
Speaker 8 (03:52):
It was it was Bob Jitmar, Yes, thank you. My
grandparents lived in Ravenswood. My mom grew up in Rabinswood,
and so we paid for Bob Detmar and his lovely
wife Mary are great friends with them, and so we
did that lotch growing up. But you know, growing up
and being education. I went to Marshall. I was athletic
trainer for the football team. Never in my you know,
wildest dreams that I think. I don't remember the House
(04:13):
of Delegates, but both my parents passed away, and so
now I think it's kind of the right time. Our
dad had als, and so we were one of his
primary caregivers. But now I have you know the time,
and you know it's the time is right, I feel now.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
I mean it's gonna be a tough road. I mean
it's West Virginia has gone from deep.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Blue to dark red.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
You know, Ragswood used to be a Democratic stronghold. And
then how do you attack this is what's your strategy.
Speaker 8 (04:44):
My strategy right now is very grassroots. Like I said,
you know, I've been going to a lot of the
Jackson County meetings. My grandfather was mayor of Ravenswood a long, long,
long time ago. So I'm making good friends in Jackson County,
working hard with the Mason County Democrats, and very grassroots.
Speaker 7 (04:57):
Were starting from the ground up.
Speaker 8 (04:58):
I you know, like I said, I mean to call
people what do they want?
Speaker 7 (05:02):
You know, I'm work going to work for them. What
do they want? I know down here, roads are a
huge issue.
Speaker 8 (05:06):
I've been on the phone with the State Road Department
trying to get a Livening Road got paved. We're getting
things not just patched, we're getting them paid. We're in
the process of that. So finding out talking to people.
You know, somebody stopped me at Walmart the other day
and said, my husband works at the prison and we're
really nervous about PIA. And I said, I know, I said,
as a teacher, I have PEIA. Also, we're taking a
pay cut because there were no raises this year, and
(05:27):
now we're taking a pay cut because PIA has gone
up fourteen percent. So just kind of getting out there
talking to people, knocking on doors, doing the leg work,
doing the hard work, the grassroots, and you know, just
trying to be my most you know, honest and transparent self.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
Do you think that the legislature has gone too far
with the tax cuts?
Speaker 7 (05:45):
I do.
Speaker 8 (05:46):
I think some are needed, but I think there are others.
I mean, I'm a very against the school voucher program,
the Hope Scholarship. I think that's something that has just
gone way out of hand and we're taking money from
public school children, and you know, I think things have
just gone.
Speaker 7 (06:01):
A little too far.
Speaker 8 (06:02):
I think we need tax breaks, yes, but I think
we need to kind of scale back a little.
Speaker 6 (06:06):
Bit in terms of the like the Hope Scholarship and
some of the charter schools, and it's really impacting school districts,
and I think you're starting to see some consolidations as
a result of that.
Speaker 8 (06:16):
Yes, there's a lot. Now, I'm all for school choice
one hundred percent. I feel like you should be able
to send your child where you want, if if that's private,
if that's homeschooling, if that's a charter school, public school, whatever,
you send your child where you feel necessary. However, I
don't feel like that money should come off.
Speaker 7 (06:30):
Of our backs, the taxpayers of.
Speaker 8 (06:31):
West Virginia, and especially be sent over you know, over
the border over to West Virginia or sorry, over to Ohio,
to Maryland, to Virginia to who knows where. There's a
lot of these that are kind of just it's going
all willy nilly.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
I mean, there's a school in Gallup place there is.
Speaker 8 (06:45):
You know, a high Eli Christian gets a lot of
our money, and I can see how it's Timpting gets
right there. I know it's a very good school, but
I just, again, I don't feel like that should come
off the taxpayers. And we're again we're taking that money from.

Hello, It's Michael Susman here with your look at sports,
brought to you by main Street Furniture and Flooring in Middleport.
We talk heard football today with w SAZ TV sports
director and longtime Marshall broadcaster Keith Morehouse. Keith, from what
you've heard, how are things going and just what's the
progress like under the first year of coach Tony Gibson.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Well, Michael I was over there earlier.
Speaker 24 (13:20):
Today they wrapped up a morning practice and by most
accounts they were much happier with today than they were
with yesterday and even Saturday. Coach Gibson was you know,
one thing to get with Coach Gibson is he is
a blunt He's honest, he's frank. You know, there's no
you know, swimming around the topic. He tells you what
(13:41):
he thinks and he wasn't happy with day one. But
today we talked with both coordinators, Rod Smith, the offensive coordinator,
Sanna Morrison, eventsive coordinator, and some some players and they
all seem to be much more pleased with the way
it went.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Coach Gibson was upset with the way they.
Speaker 24 (13:56):
Didn't take care of the football on Saturday, that was
the opening practice.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
But you know, some of some of it is nerved.
Speaker 24 (14:03):
Some of it's guys trying to do too much, and
I don't think coaches expect a whole lot out of
before they hit pads. You know, I think Coach Gibson
wants to make sure he reinforces the importance of hanging
on to the football from their quarterbacks to the skill guys.
So that was sort of the emphasis. But they said
that was much better today and they were happy with the.
Speaker 25 (14:21):
Way it went.
Speaker 23 (14:22):
You hit on Rod Smith. There's somebody with a lot
of rapport with coach Gibson, a former Jacksonville State staffer.
What type of scheme is he going to run? What
can herd fans expect with him?
Speaker 24 (14:34):
You know, I asked kind of that question of Carlo
Carlos del Rio Wilson. He's kind of the front runner
for the quarterback position. He's a transfer from Syracuse, and
he said, you know, without giving away too much, it's
gonna it's gonna be an offense that features a lot
of you know, run the ball that they're going to
run the ball first. That's kind of coach Gibson's mantra
if you will also though, utilize their skilled players spread
(14:59):
it out. Del Ria Wilson is an athletic guy, so
he can take off. So I think you see, you
know much much what we see all the time now
in college football is the dual threat style. But I
think they want to be physical at the same time.
If coach Gibson can punch you in the mouth offensively,
he's going to want to do that as well as defensively.
So they kind of gave a little bit of an idea,
(15:20):
you know, one thing about what del Rio Wilson gets
as his weapons. A bunch of guys that are that
are new to the program. I mean to Tony Mathews
is a running back that played at West Virginia most
recently in Houston. They've got another got Joshan Barbie who's
a transfer from Niche State.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
He's a playmaker.
Speaker 24 (15:39):
They got another guy, uh, several guys in the in
the running back room, Michael Allen transfer from UNLV. So
they got they think they they had the deepest running
back room and then a wide receiver.
Speaker 25 (15:50):
They had to retool everybody.

Is This date in Reds Baseball with teen historian Greg Rhodes.
Speaker 20 (16:02):
One of the things I miss about Riverfront Stadium was
the three tiers of seats circling the stadium and the
way you could get a quick read on the distance
of a home run by where it landed in the
green seats. The yellow seats are a really mammoth shot
that could reach the upper deck of red seats. There
were thirty five red seat homers hit at Riverfront, and
on this date, August fifth, nineteen seventy seven, a milestone
(16:24):
red seater by the Pirates Dave Parker. He became the
first player to reach the red seats in right field.
Others had been hit to left, but Parker's blast off
Reds pitcher Fred Norman was the first to reach the
right field section. Parker would later play for the Reds,
but he already had one big Riverfront highlight on this
August fifth, nineteen seventy seven.

Speaker 6 (27:44):
Now you being with the Extension service, do you work
with these kids a little.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Bit during affair? I kind of showing what they need
to do.
Speaker 11 (27:50):
Yeah, think, come up, ask questions. A lot of our
families here have been doing this for generations. They kind
of know what's going on, but we do have new
ones that pop in, Hey how do I do this?
What's going on? Especially with our livestock judging teams. Kids,
those kids really get in there and they put their
hands in help with other kids, figure out what problem
they have to.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
And talking to some of the parents and some of
the kids. It is kind of fun because the parents
are kind of living what they did as a youngster
and they're really into.
Speaker 11 (28:13):
Oh absolutely, like there's people here, the volunteers. They show
them up with my dad and an uncle thirty forty
years ago. And then the kids I grew up showing
with now their kids are starting to show.
Speaker 12 (28:22):
So yeah, it all goes together.
Speaker 11 (28:24):
You see these cycles go back and forth between this
group of friends, this group of friends, they meet, they
catch up whatever. But it's just really good old fashioned
family fund. Here the Mason County Fair.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
In terms for you, what's your favorite part of this fair?
Speaker 11 (28:37):
My favorite part of the Mason County Fair is the community.
We have three very distinct high schools in this county,
but this week is the week we put everything aside
and we come together or we do it for the kids.
It's a great week of community building. That's how we
develop these relationships, have helped these family members, families, friends
that last generations really and.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
Then they're all, you know, you have good music on
Friday Night with Sarah Evans. You know everybody in the
community is psyched up for that.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (29:04):
We when we saw her as an opportunity back last fall, like, okay, guys,
we can't tell anybody until her Ready you go, because
we knew the excitement was going to be there bringing
legendary Sarah Evans on Friday night.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
But really the highlight's going to be Friday with the
market sale.
Speaker 11 (29:17):
Yeah, and that really goes back to the roots of
the whole the Mason County Fair. It's it is the
four h n FFA livestock kids showing and it's selling.
We have about three hundred head of goats slams, hogs
and cattle.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
They'll be sold.
Speaker 11 (29:28):
That money goes back and helping projects for next year,
expanding their herds at home, college tuition and first first cars,
whatever that these kids might need. And raising these livestock
guys is expensive. It's very expensive to get these kids started.
Speaker 6 (29:41):
And for people who want to bid, if you haven't registered,
you can still register, can't you?
Speaker 31 (29:46):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (29:46):
Absolutely, you can registered. Day up during the middle of
the sell. We have a trailer down here by the
show ring. You can sign up. I'm bring your contact
information so we can get registered in the system. Bob,
get a bitter number, start buying and have a good day.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
So it starts to eleven. How long is it?
Speaker 11 (30:00):
It goes for several hours. It's just been to how
quick we moved through those animals.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Is it like midnight?
Speaker 11 (30:06):
Not midnight anymore it used to be when we started
like noon or one's not. It's not many maybe about
five or six that time cond tapers off a little bit.
Speaker 6 (30:13):
All right, it sounds good. One other question, I'll let
you go. I know you've got things to do. What's
your favorite fair food out here?
Speaker 11 (30:19):
I mean, when we're talking about dessert, it's gonna be
the apple dumpling from Eastern Star. First Church of God
has really nice cheeseburger and fishtail sandwiches. We got a
really great breakfast front line up with I believe it's
new having Methodist Church group ladies. We have really great
fair food here throughout, from our permanent boost to our
food trucks and the portable concession stands.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
So if you come to the fair, you won't leave hungry.
Speaker 11 (30:41):
You shouldn't leave hungry to turn faut unless you forgot
so busy and you forgot to eat, because we do
get guilty of that as well.
Speaker 6 (30:47):
All right, We've been talking with Evan Wilson, who is
with the Cooperative Extensive Agency for WU and one of
the main cogs out here at the Mason County Junior Fair.
Speaker 3 (30:55):

Speaker 33 (31:59):
When we think of out substance use disorder in West Virginia,
we need everyone to come together and motivate change. Artists
and recovery activists throughout the state have teamed up to
paint murals that inspire hard conversations. It may seem small,
but everyone played a role in breaking through stigma and
turning these murals into something vibrant and meaningful. When it
(32:21):
comes to how we think about recovery, it takes all
of us to break through addiction.

Speaker 23 (32:36):
The Cincinnati Reds edged out the Chicago Cubs three to
two yesterday at Wrigley. Cincinnati threw six different pictures as
a result of starter Nick Lodolo exiting with a blister
and the second in and it was a masterful out
in from Johnny allstaff after that, as the Reds combined
to give up just three hits. Here's what manager Terry
Frankcona had to say after the win.
Speaker 25 (32:54):
We got two and two thirds innings out of our
starters last two games. That's tough. And you know Nick
Martinez had been up twice yesterday and Barlow throwing two
innings after he's been in six out of eight. I
don't know if people realize like that, that doesn't happen
very often.
Speaker 23 (33:13):
Later this month, Marshall Football will open up the Tony
Gibson Era at Georgia on August thirtieth. For more, I
talked to wsa's e TV sports director Keith Morehouse. It's
the early parts of camp, but the game against Georgia.
And Athens is only twenty five days away. How do
you think coach Gibson handles the messaging around that? And
did anybody ask about it in the press conference?
Speaker 24 (33:36):
Yeah, I mean he's been He's been asked about that
since he got here. You know, he used to joke
he said, thanks, thanks for that game with Georgia. I
opened my career at Marshall. You know, you go in,
you go between the hedges, and you know they're ranked
fourth I think in the coaches poll yesterday maybe highering
the a people that it's going.
Speaker 15 (33:52):
To come out.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
But he knows the task.
Speaker 24 (33:54):
I mean, you know, you don't just go into Sanford
Stadium and you know, I think you're gonna, you know,
come out of there with the win. Although he said
that is the plan, and he said one thing he
notices is a lot of Marshall fans remember that game
they played in the early two thousands down in Georgia.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
I did that game with Sunny Randall.
Speaker 24 (34:10):
And they had a couple of they had a battle
thirteen to three against Georgia with David Green was their star.
Pass rusher of Jonathan Garden was Marshall's. So it was
a defensive struggle. When he goes about one more, people
tell me they Marshall should have.
Speaker 22 (34:22):
Won that game.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
He says, well, that was a long time ago. So
he understands the pressure.
Speaker 24 (34:27):
But you know, it's a good way to measure yourself
against the very best, knowing that you're not going to
see a team like that again the rest of the season.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
So I think he's embraced it and realized.
Speaker 9 (34:37):
Hey, it's on the schedule, got to go down and
play it and let's see what happens.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Right.
Speaker 23 (34:41):
That is Keith Morehouse talking thunder and heard football. It
was the first day in pads for West Virginia today
and head coach Rich Rodriguez is yet to see the
hard edge mentality that he expects.
Speaker 14 (34:52):
There's way too many moments of softness.
Speaker 34 (34:55):
And I think sometimes it's not everybody all the time,
and it's not the same guy all the time. It
can't ever be allowed. And I just love sometimes that
to our guys don't even.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
Realize that they're being soft.
Speaker 34 (35:09):
You mean, I don't want to say it's in their DNA,
it's just their their version of going hard and ours
hasn't quite measured up all the time.
Speaker 23 (35:21):

takes is a moment.
Speaker 36 (35:32):
My son Ricky took his life by the use of
a firearm. It broke me and I contemplated suicide my grandson.
