Speaker 1 (00:57):
Seven forty three, I fifty on KERCD talks station. I
love the American veterans can do. If anything I can
do for him, I try to do here in the
peobout Carecy Morning show and a group that definitely loves
the American veterans and does wonderful things each and every
day of the year for veterans. The Claremont County Veteran
Service Office in studio Steve Belzo from he's the executive
director of the Climont County Veteran Service. Steve, it's always
(01:18):
great having you a studio, and let me just start
by thanking you again for what you're doing for the
veterans out there.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Ryan's motivated morning. It's good to see you, my.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Brother, great singing you. You got a kick out of
me labeling myself as a pasty white guy this morning.
You know it's me.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
I serve it myself.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Alls.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
I could think of chicken and pastry now, so now
I'm hungry.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Paced, not pay stree. You're projected anyway. I know where
I stand anyway, Climate County Veterans Service. Let's just start
with the fundamentals. What's the Claremont County Veteran Services and
what are they doing for veterans each and every day?
And singing your praise is Let's go back over some
some basic guidelines. So the folks who haven't ever used
your services realized what's there for them.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
My gosh, you know, it's ironic how many Ohioans are
unaware that the Ohiovice Code has established the presence for
every county to be funded a Veteran Service office. The
irony here is that we're not federally funded. We're not
(02:19):
shutting down, right, We're by county taxpayers, so there's no
impact on us. So you can still come see us. Right,
So we're funded by our county tax payers. It's not
the VA. We are not the VA. We support veterans
in establishing the paperwork for the benefits compensation with the
(02:39):
VA from their service on active duty.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Well, I bet there me included just sort of worked
under the presumption that this was a federally funded situation.
We're one of the few states that has a Veteran
Service office in every county from what I understand.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Absolutely right, it's it's close enough to be called an anomaly.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
So this is a creation of the state. It is,
And when were these Veteran Service offices established? How long
ago was the legislation?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
This goes back to almost Civil War real frame. It's
gone through a couple of different of iterations. And remember
Abraham Lincoln's special quote to care for him who born
in the battle. Yeah, for his widow and his children. Right,
And so even after the Civil War, you would go
to your county office to say I fought to receive
(03:26):
any funding or even land grants back then.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
How about that? Well that's a wonderful thing. Well, and
I just letting that resonate, and I look up and
I see it's seven forty five. I asked you if
we're taking a break now, we're going to go long.
We're taking a break right now. We're going to bring
break Steve beels So we're going to learn more of
the value of what they do and the training services
that they have to go through to provide these services
for you, and you know everything else by Klemer County
(03:52):
Veteran Service. Steve Belser will continue just a moment. It's
seven forty five right now, as they say, Cover Sincy.
I talked to John Roman just the other day coversincy
dot com. Find John on the team. You want to
find John on the team. Medicare are you getting ready
to go on Medicare you know what you need to
talk to John on the team of Cover. Since they
know everything there is to know about Medicare and for
no charge to you, you can tap their resources and
(04:13):
they'll keep you out of trouble. Do you go Medicare supplement,
you go Medicare advantage? Do you know what the prescription
issues are? Do you know that you can get locked
into something where your providers might be just leaving your
coverage in the middle of the term of your policy
and you will be without. I mean there's a million
holes that you can fall into. And who's going to
keep you out of that cover? Sincey it's also open
(04:34):
rollment for yes, your employer policies. You know, your employer
policies probably suck. The bucket has holes in it. You're
not going to be fully covered, and they can identify
all the problems you're gonna face, do a genuine cost
benefit analysis on what's better for you versus what's being offered,
or at least confirm that what you're getting is great.
They work with hundreds of insurance companies. They're you're broker
(04:55):
on your side of the table, working exclusively for you.
There are thousands of policies out there. They layer policies
which allows them to help you save money while getting
better medical coverage. So when it comes to medical coverage
cover sincey again, these services don't cost you anything. Cover

or call them at five one three eight hundred call
(05:15):
that's five one three eight hundred two two five five

have partly cloudy day to day going up to eighty
two to night clouds fifty three tomorrow partly cloudy eighty
one are clear of a night fifty five than on
Football Friday we have a high eighty five was partly
(05:36):
cloudy sky's fifty six.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Right now, it's time for traffic chuck from the UC
of Traffic Center, the UC Cancer Center of First Personal
Life Prostate cancer Care, exclusive clinical trials and treatments you
won't find anywhere else. Call five one three five eighty
five U s CEC eastbound seventy four cruise continue to
work with an accident above Montana left hand side. The
(05:59):
traffic pacts close to Harrison Ryebolt Pound seventy one's close
to an extra half hour and needed above field turtled
down to Red Bank northbound seventy five over a twenty
minute delay out of Florence. Chuck Ingram fifty five kir
and see the talk station.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Seven fifty fifty five kr CD talk station coming up
off top of our news. Congressman David Taylor will talk
shut Down with David, followed by Judge Ennien of Poulaiton
in the meantime. Executive Director of the Clamont County Veteran
Services Commission, Steve Belzo Institutie. You can find them online
at Claremont County Veterans dot com. I recommend my veteran
friends at Claremont County do just that. What's the value
of what you do, Steve?
Speaker 3 (06:36):
You know from the veteran perspective, there are in this
information age the va hangs on our website file for
your benefits here.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I talk to you too many times. That's that is
a bad idea.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
It's a bad idea for the preponderance, not the whole
the proponerance. There are some extremely smart veterans out there
who will do the research, who will fit figure out
the order of filing, no different than going into a
court proceeding there is an order of precedence in filing
your case. So it's the same way with the VA.
(07:10):
If they upset the apple cart, file a form before
another one was due, or get to the second or
third tertiary event, the vehicle kick it back. What that
means is the veteran's waiting even longer now, and you're
saving the government money by not paying you out due
to the benefits you deserve because you filed your paperwork wrong.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I have this this vision of that that Hollywood movie
scenario where you stand in line for an hour and
a half and you you you don't have four and
three sixteen B, return to line seven, stand in line,
get formed three sixteen B filled out, then return to that.
That's one of those things I think, Well it is.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
It's a government, yeah, right, And you know we have
a sister service called the United States Navy. And when
the Navy takes us around and transports us to foreign nations,
the sailors love putting signs on hatches doors that says
free ice cream at two o'clock, and the Marines will
line up for two ice creams and they all set
around laughing at us. But it's the only thing we've
got to do, Brian. So it's very similar in the
(08:04):
va hanging file for your benefits. Here. The great thing
about our office, my service officers go through training up
to five times a year, four times at the state level,
once at the national level. The manuals too, and you
know from just the judicial process, laws and governing, there's
(08:26):
mammoth manuals that they research and go through to understand
what is the filing precedence, what needs to be had. Yeah,
they're like reading stereo instruction absolutely right, right, So if
you don't understand schematics, if you don't understand in the
event or the actual form or was the form the
latest form release because if it's an old form of
va AL kickerback.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Get written by someone with only a remote familiarity with
the English language.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Well correct, and hopefully you don't get an offshore operator. However,
it's really unique in the fact that one everything we
do is free. There is no backdoor profiting by my
office because you receive benefits were funded by the county. Therefore,
everything the veteran comes in and receives is free. Counseling
by educated individuals who have been certified with the DAV
(09:15):
the VFW, the American Legion, the National County Veteran Service offices.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Well, and I'm looking at the Clermont County Veteran Services
website and all of the resources that you have right
there that link the veterans to where they need to
be online. And of course the work that you do
there is all fully identified. So it's just not just
registering to get military benefits. The benefits that's right, goes
way beyond that.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
There is.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Yeah, there's a three legged stool to what we do.
It's the benefits from the VA, but there's also transportation
for veterans to and from their VA appointments. They're a
county veteran, right. There's also emergency financial assistance. Life hits, right,
and there's something about the family of veterans who have
worn the sacred cloth of our country that we are
here to underpin you, to show you up when an
(10:04):
emergency hits, we can validate it to help you out
that emergency exactly.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
And let's face it, there are a lot of troubled
veterans out there as a consequence of their service our country.
They've come back with struggles because they serve their country. Yeah, God,
bless you for providing these resources to them, and this
is what every state should have. This I fully agree.
I mean, I'm not one to want to expand government, man, right,
(10:28):
but if you're going to pay for something, you know,
we've got to value of the American veterans. We've got
to make their life easier and get them the services
and maybe even the medical support they need. That's what
the VA is for, man.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
I think by and large, the American public wants the
veterans taken care of. Thank you for keeping our shores safe, exactly.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I mean that's my profound, profoundly held belief system, and
I know my listening audience anyway feels that way. And
I bet if you did a poll the American people generally,
this would be an over whelmingly agree by part is
an agree agreement.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
We finally have one.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
It's we're you know, we are out of time. It's
seven fifty five and you go a little bit longer sometimes, Steve,
and part of me wants to ask you what your
reaction was yesterday, Pete Hegzeth, But you don't have to.
If you just want to say, we're out of.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Time, I'm sorry it is pinging off the walls allowed
in here us Joe, that's opening up an envelope we
might not close back down.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Pointed out the time constraints. I don't want to send
you off into it. Thanksalt CLI County Veterans dot com.
That's where you can find the Climate. County Veteran Services
Executive Director Steve Belza. Thank you, God bless you, sir
for what you're doing for my friends out there and
the listening audience. Take advantage of it, folks. It's not
taking advantage. This is stuff you earn correct help them
to help you. Thanks brother, My abs a distinct pleasure.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents.
