Big Events Happening Thursday night, starts at six at a
Little Creek Country Club in South Charleston, the fourteenth annual
Kicking Cancer fundraiser, brought to you by Better Holmes and
Gardens Real Estate chumchil Here to talk about it, Josh
(02:23):
Scott and Margaret Osborne.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
How you doing, good morning.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Thank you for both for me. Now now again. With
your company, everybody is named Josh.
Speaker 6 (02:30):
Right, yes, yes, we have a couple except me.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Okay, well no that's what I said, because yeah, we
originally had one of the other josh Is scheduled and
you stepped up to the plate and I said, you
will be known as Josh from that point on.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
Okay it Josh.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
It's kind of like our companies with Dave's. You know,
we got a a Jecklan, Alan Wilson h and Weekly.
So everybody's a Dave. Everybody in your company is a Josh.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
That's it, all right, talk about the event, give us
to the overview, and then we'll break down specifically either
one of you.
Speaker 7 (02:58):
Well, we we raised money for cancer. Obviously, it's kicking
cancer and it goes towards the people in our company
and their families. And like Josh said earlier, I love
that he said this. We help so many families get
into homes and you know, put them in positions to
better themselves. So we're just asking the community to help
us as well.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
I mean, that's it's about. It's kind of a cliche,
but it's about giving back. Yeah, that's exactly what it is.
Speaker 8 (03:21):
This thing is go ahead to say, as a company,
we try to give back all year long, and you know,
this is the one time of year we ask our customers,
our family, our affiliates to help us.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
So this has been going on, I think for fourteen years.
I'm not sure that you guys have been involved in
the entire time, but.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
Quite that long. But I know the history of it
started out as a spaghetti dinner.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Okay, one simple spaghetti dinner.
Speaker 8 (03:40):
Take it from there, yep, and it's turned into you know,
we'll have the whole upstairs of the Little Creek Country Club.
We've got food, drink, we've got DJ killer, Killer Killer,
silent auction. We've got everything from paid airbnb, states, unique
spots all over the state. We've got a scenic small
airplane ride around Charleston so you can see the city
(04:02):
from about fifteen hundred feet.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
And last year we had killer luggage. We have all
kinds of stuff.
Speaker 7 (04:08):
It's so much fun with food, drinks, music, dancing. You
can't you can't be dead.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
I mean, it's as you said, this thing's been going
on for fourteen years, and I just think it's amazing
when you say that somebody had an idea at one point,
let's have a spaghetti dinner, and then it turned into this.
I mean, I mean, how many people attend this thing?
Speaker 7 (04:24):
I mean hundreds, hundreds.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
We're pushing about two hundred now.
Speaker 8 (04:28):
Last year we were playing around one eighty and uh
and we're doing better and better every year. We've we've
kind of changed how some of the stuff operates. We've
pulled in some help, and we're this is the biggest
funds we've raised yet this so far for this.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
And talk about how the funds are utilized. You've touched
on a little bit, but how the horror funds utilized.
Speaker 7 (04:47):
So people that are affected by it that are directly
related to us and the families and the company. They'll
send a letter in and then the committee votes on
it and then we just like get the funds that way.
Speaker 8 (04:57):
It might be the sister of an agent, it might
be the son or or a parent of an agent,
or might be an affiliate with the company, you know,
somebody that helps us lend so people can get into homes.
So we we try to keep it close to the
vest and help the people.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
That help us. That's what it's all about again. Uh,
it's a it's a fantastic event and for the social
scene in Charleston, it's one of the bigger events too
because it's I mean, obviously people are there because they
want to help. But there's nothing wrong with a good time,
especially on Thursday night, way to kick off the weekend. Yeah,
that's right with with music and get in. You mentioned
the auction, but let's talk about some of the party
(05:32):
aspects of it.
Speaker 8 (05:33):
We have a great djuh full dance floor set up.
We plan to have fun for a couple hours and
uh and make the best of it.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Yeah, And I think it's great again because the way
that you're doing this, because this is it's kind of
a unique thing, uh to to. I mean, we hear
about raising money for cancer all the time, and that's
that's all well and good, but this is you're helping
individuals here through this talk about that.
Speaker 8 (05:58):
Well, funds can go to anything from housing to medication treatment,
even just groceries to help you get through the week,
you know, if you can't get out and about Uh,
most of our agents that will sponsor someone or nominate
them for help, you know, will take the funds, go
buy groceries and deliver them. So it's it's all, you know,
(06:19):
the family aspect to help those that continue to help us.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
And I think so often again, you know, cancer is
one of those things that touches everybody's life. I mean,
you know, every family, regardless of income or cancer, can
and care who you are. You're exactly right about that,
and there's so much that goes into it other than
I'm not trying to diminish it other than just the care.
I mean, because and when and let's face it, in
a in a family, if you're a close knit family,
(06:45):
when one person has cancer, everybody has cancer. I know
that's a very that's a very dark way to put it,
because there's appointments that have to be gotten to and
other people have to pick up the slack. If there's
something you know that somebody is not able to be
to contribute as much as they want to to a
family and things of that nature. And well, I just think,
hats off to you guys for doing this. I mean,
(07:06):
it's a great event. And give us a couple of
without mentioning names, of course, give us a couple of
success stories that you have seen with this over the years.
And I know, I know there's been hundreds, but I mean, yeah,
now we.
Speaker 7 (07:20):
Two, for example, we have I would say about one
hundred and seventy agents and if you think about their families,
how many people are actually directly affected by this? I
would say every year unfortunately, but also fortunately we've been
able to step in and help them. So I mean
it's a common thing that happens, like I said, yearly.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
Yeah, we're lucky enough to have not had to say
no so far.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
Yeah, the funds tend to hold out.
Speaker 8 (07:43):
You know, We've got a lot of real estate attorneys
around town, lenders, bankers, insurance agents, and they all take
time and money out of their pockets to put into
our coffers to help the people that have been a
client of theirs at some point in time possibly.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
And it's one of the great things I love about
all of well West Virginia in general, you know, is
we're such giving people, and when something like this is happening,
I mean usually, yeah, you'll reach out to some people
and say can you help. But a lot of times
it's been my experience in different charitable things that you
will have somebody call you and say, hey, I heard
about this, how can I get an.
Speaker 8 (08:18):
Absolutely, we definitely have that, and you're absolutely right, A.
It's it's definitely the Mountain State mentality, you know. I know,
I help a lot of people move here from out
of state, and it's funny when I hear Last year,
I had a guy move from Florida and his buddy
helped him move, like physically helped me move. And he
came up and he said, I'm I'm gonna put my
house in the market at Florida.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
I'm moving up here.
Speaker 8 (08:38):
He's like, I can walk down the street and people
will actually see hello.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
To me, you actually know your neighbors.
Speaker 8 (08:42):
Well, I mean, he was just shocked that people would
would look at him and and and nod and say hello,
good morning. So yeah, that's that's definitely the mentality we
like to have to try to help our help people
that are in our circles.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
And again you, I mean you're you guys are a
great company, and your hats off to you for doing this,
but you wouldn't be able to pull this thing off
by yourself off. I mean, I got to be able
to have all to talk about some of the you know,
mentioned names specifically, but you mentioned other people in the community,
insurance attorneys and things of that nature, talk about the
help that they've been able to provide.
Speaker 8 (09:09):
Well, it's nothing for our affiliates to drop what they're doing.
I know, we'll have a couple that are on the
committee with us that will drop everything they're doing Thursday
and come help us get ready to decorate.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
You know.
Speaker 8 (09:18):
Yeah, we don't have to pay anybody to do anything.
We've got lots of volunteer.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
Help and they'll be starting first thing in the morning
on Thursday to get ready and they'll have to stay
after And.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Yeah, do you still need volunteers for that, because I
mean what happens a lot of times is people and
I spent a lot of time talking about these community
service things like this. People will say, well, I'd really
like to get involved, but I for one reason another
I can't be there that night, or I can't you know,
I'm not in a financial situation to be able to
do that. There's some ways you can help beyond.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
Them if anyone's wanting to volunteer. If we can't find
a space for it, thish for this direct event this year.
We will absolutely find room or something to help for
next year because it's a yearly thing and we're not
going to say.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
No to help.
Speaker 8 (09:56):
Well, and we're active all year long as a company,
so you know, we do a lot of stuff. Yeah,
if people would like to give back and find a
way to do that, we can find a place for him.
We're blessed in this event to have tons and tons
of help, so I think we're good there. But like
Margaret said, we can find a place for your help
if that's.
Speaker 4 (10:13):

Want to welcome in now Morgan Tending from the Putnam
County Development Authority. Good morning and welcome to the show.
Speaker 13 (14:21):
Good morning, Dave Allen. How are you.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
I am doing fine, Thank you for being here. We're
going to get to some Putnam County things coming up
here momentarily, but I did want to give you a
chance to talk about remarks that you gave on behalf
of the West Virginia Economic Development Council at the Capitol yesterday.
What exactly did you tell them?
Speaker 13 (14:43):
So I spoke on behalf of the West Virginia Economic
Development Council and day. For those who don't know, that's
a professional membership across West Virginia that is connecting anybody
interested in economic development, whether it's public or private sector.
So we presented to the Development Committee on Joint Committee
for the Legislature last night and basically reminded them of
(15:06):
who West Virginia ADC is, who are membership entails, and
also gave them what our priorities are as economic developers
going into the twenty twenty six legislative session. So it
was a great highlight and we had some great discussion,
and it was really great to have that receipt of
(15:27):
information from our delegates and senators and what's important to
us in economic development and.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Let's talk about what some of those policies that you
want to see and are some of the things that
are important to you get into that.
Speaker 13 (15:40):
So we've sent on a survey to our members and
like I mentioned, we have over two hundred organizations are
represented in our membership, and we asked everybody, Okay, what
are your priorities? What do you want to see our
senators and delegates working on in economic development? And the
top two for local economic development funding and site readiness funding.
(16:05):
So the first is basically how the state helped support
local economic development authorities like my day job, Dave at
Putnam County Development Authority. Most people don't realize that economic
development organizations do not have a dedicated funding stream. We're
all made up differently and we all have to find
our own way of funding our organizations. Some of us
(16:29):
are public, some of us are private, but we all
apply for a grant to the state where we're able
to get a matching fund each year. And we've had
that around for about thirty years. It's called the Local
Economic Development Grant. But that was actually the number one
concern of our members, regardless of if they were a
(16:51):
local development authority or if they were a private industry,
or they were state or federal government. And in that
amount for the first time increased quite a bit last
year to forty one thousand dollars, and then it dropped
back down this year and this year's budget to twenty
two thousand dollars. And again I said, that's matching. So
(17:12):
that's a twenty two thousand dollars grant for each county
of West Virginia that they can apply for and they
have to have another twenty two thousand dollars to match it.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Todd again. Morgan Tenning from the put McGinnity Development Authority
and also representing the West Virginia Economic Development Council, who
she gave remarks yesterday to the interim committees there to Capitol.
What does you talked about the survey that you that
you sent out but to somebody, as you said, your
day job, who does economic development for living independent of
(17:43):
this council? Give us an overall on the economic status
of West Virginia. What are you seeing out there? Good things?
Things we need to work on. I mean, I'm talking
about you as an economic development person yourself.
Speaker 13 (17:56):
Sure so, I mean in Putnam County we are booming
and jokes that we're going to have to change our
slogan to sold out pretty soon. The system. What's growth
and we're running out of land. But I think what
you're seeing across the board is over the last several years,
we've won some really big economic development investments in West Virginia,
(18:17):
and that's a huge win, regardless of which county want
it or where you live. And what we're seeing from
that nowadays is kind of the snowball effect that happens
after you do win an investment. It's when you realize
that you need more people for the jobs that are here.
You need more homes for those people, you need more
(18:39):
childcare for those people, you need more health care for
those people. You have more children that are going to
end up going into the school system. But I think,
especially here in Putnam County, we're definitely seeing that downstream
effect of winning economic development investments, and now we're having
to kind of build up the foundation to be able
(19:01):
to support having those types of winds in our backyard.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
And I think sometimes you're absolutely right about that. I mean,
we all love to hear these big economic development announcements,
no matter whether it's in Putnam County or wherever it's
happening in West Virginia. You love to hear these things.
But then once you get them and I know, you
do a whole lot of work before you ever, you know,
put it out there to try to get it. But
then that's when that's when the real work begins. I mean,
(19:27):
it's all real work, but I mean that's when you
really got to get to it. Because Okay, we got
people coming here. I mean, look at New Core, I
mean just one county over. We had the Invent announcement
last week, which we'll we'll get to that a little
bit later on. These people are coming and sometimes, you know,
we do our best to try to be prepared for it,
but there's influxes of people that are that are coming
(19:49):
in and you've got to.
Speaker 13 (19:49):
Be ready for it, absolutely, and we have to have
a trained work force.
Speaker 14 (19:54):
You know.
Speaker 13 (19:54):
One of the things that we've worked on here at
Kundam County Development Authority is in addistive called home Kown
Advantage was the Panic School system because we realized that
a lot of our young people and their parents think
they have to leave the state for a good paying job,
and that's just not the reality. We have opportunities here,
it's just not the opportunities that people are thinking about.
(20:15):
And you mentioned Invent perfect example, So for those who
don't know. Invent made an expansion announcement last week and
that company is formerly known here locally as Park Line
over an Eleanor Industrial Park. Wonderful home grown company, and
they made an announcement last week that they want an
(20:35):
expansion internally in their Invent company globally and they have
to hire one hundred people in the next six to
ten months. That's an astronomical amount of people to try
to source locally. But maybe people aren't thinking that they
can go into things like that. You know, there are options,
(20:56):
So we are trying to communicate to the school system
into our community that there are jobs available. It just
may not be what you thought you were going to
grow up to be. Let me put it out.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Yeah, well you're right about that. And it's again, the
focus has has changed so much. And I've talked about
this on the show Morgan numerous times. You know, I'm
from the generation you know somebody who graduated high school
in eighteen eighties they said, okay, you know, everybody's going
to go off to college. And look, there's I mean
nothing wrong with setting your sights on WVU Marshall, you
(21:31):
see state whatever it is. But the reality is is
that that's not for everyone, and that there are opportunities
available out there, good paying jobs in other fields. That
means one's bigger, better than the other. It just means
that it's different. And I love the fact. And I
know you've got some stuff going on with Bridge Valley,
(21:51):
which I'm going to get to momentarily, and they're one
of the sponsors of this show, and I have doctor
Casey Saxevillbridge Valley on the show a couple of times
a month to talk about I love that institutions and
not just hers or not Bridge Valley, but there are
institutions like that that are really looking at this sort
of thing now and saying, hey, we're going to need welders,
We're going to need you know, coders, We're going to
need all these things that modern businesses need once we
(22:12):
get these economic development announcements made for our areas.
Speaker 13 (22:17):
Absolutely, and I loved that you mentioned Bridge Valley just
now and actually before I came on, because we work
with them quite a bit. I mean, we we actually
did an event last Friday that we co hosted with
Bridge Valley at their Toyota Hall Advanced Technology Center. We
brought in one hundred and fifty students from Kennall and
Putnam Counties and took them through Toyota Hall for all
(22:40):
these different exhibits where they got to learn about PLCs
and pneumatics and robotics, just trying to expose our young
talent to a career in STEM because there's so many
job opportunities. And then we also had employers present who
would love to hire those young people when they graduate
high school. We have Toyota there, we have Service Fire,
(23:02):
we had Montara, and you know, that's also why we
started that apprenticeship program called Same with Toyota, because Toyota
recognized that they had a very alarmingly large amount of
our maintenance team that could retire at any point in time,
and they didn't have much of a generation coming in
behind that. So, as you mentioned, you know, we've kind
(23:24):
of pushed for something different for so many decades that
now we have this shortage in STEM and working with
your hands, and there's so many great opportunities for those
who want to do that. And then, honestly, you know,
we've seen some people who started in production and then
they realized they wanted to upscale, and then they go
(23:44):
to a bridge Valley or another communities. At college they
get their associates degree and then maybe later on they
go to Marshall or WU and they actually complete an
engineering degree. So this is not like a one stop shop.
If you go into a technical trade. There are plenty
of options. A high of you on your post to
a successful career here in West Virginia.

Now you've got a resident is called a residential contractor
(24:24):
Connect event coming up right? Talk about that?
Speaker 13 (24:28):
Yeah, that's fun. We love hosting events. I've just mentioned
several since being on here, but we have an upcoming
event this Friday, Residential Contractor Connect Event. We are hosting
a speed networking event for local residential subcontractors to have
an interest in working with Ward Communities. Ward Communities is
(24:51):
who we announced earlier. This year's day is going to
be building a more than four hundred unit housing development
and Hurricane. They are a large company that is going
to be coming in and building those units, but they
want to work with as many local subcontractors as possible.
They would love to come into our community and be
(25:11):
a part of the community. So we asked them if
we could host an event and they said yes. We
have over one hundred local companies who have signed up
to meet one on one with a Ward Community's representative
this Friday, and we have so many that we've actually
added more Ward Communities members, so we actually do still
(25:35):
have a few slots left. If anybody has interest, they
can call our office three zero four seven five to
seven oh three one eight and sign up.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Still, but where's the event. Where's the event going to
be morgan?
Speaker 13 (25:48):
It's going to be a Putnam Career and Technical Center
because we love CCTV over in Eleanor, so this is
going to be an opportunity and we love that we're
getting to be that conduit between local subcontractors and a
company that we've attracted to come to the area. So
we're really hoping that our local subs take advantage of
(26:09):
this opportunity. They're getting FaceTime and they have a shot
at being a part of this really large development coming
to Hurricane.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
And this is when this announcement came out of a
few weeks ago about this massive housing development that was
going to be coming to Hurricane and how many what
was the number again approximately how many homes are coming?
Speaker 13 (26:29):
More than four hundred units.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
More than four hundred units are coming. And one of
the first things that we ask and I appreciate people
asking about this, was how many jobs are is this
going to create for people to build and to help,
you know, contractors of various things with this. And I
love the fact that this company is saying we want
to work with local people, as you said, So to
(26:51):
answer that question, there's going to be a lot of
local people Putnam, Kanawa County, Mason County, Jackson County, all
in this area that are going to be in employed
in building these four hundred and some on homes.
Speaker 13 (27:03):
Yes, and I'm so thankful for word communities. They're going
to be exhausted on Friday because they we have packed
their day. We've told we've warned them, you're going to
be exhausted, but we'll make sure you're well fed throughout
the day. But they were really glad that they're willing
to come in and meet with local subs. But you know,
they've expressed they're really excited to be part of a
(27:25):
community that wants to do business with them, that wants
to partner with them. They don't see the development in
Hurricane being their one and only development in not only
Putnam County, but in West Virginia, and they want to
become a part of our community. So I really hope
that our local subcontractors take advantage and embrace that fact
(27:46):
that they have an opportunity here to be a part
of a very large project. Four hundred units is a
whopper day. I don't think any of us really realize
like how how huge that is to West Virginia and
our community. We just don't have that many developments of
(28:09):
any relative size to four hundred for us to compare.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
Yeah, you're absolutely right, we have a desperate need for homes.
I mean that folks with I've had Taryll Ellison and
folks from Advantage Valley on the show many many times,
and other folks along that same realm, and they've all
said the same thing, we got to have homes, and
the not only you know, we're talking about Canaw Valley,
we're talking about beyond. We we need homes, We desperately
(28:33):
need homes.
Speaker 13 (28:35):
Absolutely, and you know what follows after that, Dave. You know,
my team is a small team of three that includes me,
So we are doing the best that we can to
drive development for Putnam County and West Virginia as a whole.
And some people ask like, you know, why don't you
focus on X Y Z retail. Well, our host, Dave,
(28:56):
is that if we've put our time and our resources
into the manufacturing that will bring the job, then we
can help them with workforce development, and then we can
help them with housing for that workforce. All the other
ancillary businesses are going to naturally follow. They always do
have the healthcare or retail. It's going to bring more restaurants,
it's going to bring more stores. And although we sometimes
(29:18):
have a small part in some of those things, Dave,
it's just not our focus because of our resources. So,
you know, we're a really small team and we know
that if we focus on the upstream, then all of
those other things that people want to see in terms
of retail are going to come naturally.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
All right, before we let you go, you did mention
some things going on to Putnam Career and Technical Center.
You get this hometown advantage thing going on. We're going
to be talking more about that over the next couple
of weeks. It's a free career fair and you still
got opportunities for people to sign up for that. Talk
about that before we let you go.
Speaker 13 (29:52):
Yes, thank you so much. We are hosting a free
career fair called Hometown Advantage at Putnam Career and Technical
Center on Thursday, October twenty third, from five to eight pm.

Welcome to the show.
Speaker 14 (34:26):
I'm doing great, Dave, thanks for having me.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
I appreciate you being here. You're much much more pleasant
than Tom Hunter. I'll say that, much more pleasant.
Speaker 14 (34:34):
I'll be sure to tell you.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Oh, he's listening. I'm sure he's all right. So we
hear a lot about scams in West Virginia. And I
know I've had folks from the AARP on, I've had
folks with the Attorney General's Office over the years on
to talk about this. It's a problem, and it's a
problem with these scams that hit all demographics, not just
ones that you consider quote quote aarp But there's a
(34:56):
special target, you know, for folks like that. What are
you seeing out there now as far as scams go.
Speaker 14 (35:01):
Oh, Dave, we're seeing so many scams hit hit West
Virginians and particularly older West Virginians. You may have gotten one.
I got one just yesterday on my text. It said, oh,
you were on the turnpike and you didn't pay your debt.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
I get a couple of those a week.
Speaker 14 (35:15):
They come all the time, and so you know they're
only asking for three dollars, six dollars whatever it is,
and so you think, oh, well, maybe I did run
down Beckley and the easy pasting work. They're trying to
get your bank account inform.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
That's what it's not about, the three dollars.
Speaker 14 (35:28):
No, once they get your banking information, then they will
drain your bank accounts. That's a common one going around.
There's another one going around about jury duty. They'll say
you missed jury.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
That's not a new one. I mean that one's been
around for why. It goes away and kind of comes back.
Speaker 14 (35:45):
It circulates, It circulates, and they tell you, well, we're
going to send someone to a rescue, We're going to
send them to your house. And the new twist is
they ask you to pay your fine with a gift card.
And it's because gift cards you really can't trace them
and you're not going to track down the thief. So
we have a saying that gift cards are presents, not payments.
(36:07):
So if anyone, yeah, anyone asked you to pay with
the gift card, something's wrong.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
Yeah, yeah, you're exactly right. And we just see so
many of these things, and you know, these little things,
these little computers that we carry around in our pocket
have and everybody's connected now has made it even even easier.
Speaker 14 (36:26):
Sadly, absolutely most I think over fifty percent now of
the scams that are perpetrated across the country are initiated
via text. And so if you receive a text that
has a link and they want you to click on
it and it's from someone that you don't know, don't
do it.
Speaker 4 (36:44):
And you know the thing about it is. You talked
about targeting older folks, and there's a reason for that.
I mean, they've always been primarily the ones that were
on the scam bull's eye, even before the Internet and
things of that nature, because they tend to be a
little bit more trusting and they want to see the
you know, the good in people. That's that's one thing.
(37:05):
But especially now when you add the new technology susan
into it, then they're like, well, maybe this is the
way they do it now. And so I think sometimes,
I mean, you folks with AARP and others, you do
a great job of educating people, but sometimes I think
maybe maybe some people in the family probably need to,
you know, educate them. You know, all right, Mom, are grandma, grandpa?
(37:27):
You know, you got to watch this stuff.
Speaker 14 (37:29):
They are a target. Older people are a target because
the scam artists think they maybe aren't technologically savvy like
the younger people, and they have a lifetime of savings.
They generally lose more money than the younger people in
the scams because they have more money. They have their
retirement funds, they have their accounts that they've spent their
whole lives saving, and so while younger people are scammed
(37:55):
more often. Older people lose more money and they aren't
in the workforce to be able to make.
Speaker 4 (37:59):
That exactly right. Again, we're talking with Susan le Few,
Associate State director of aarp OK. You got an event
coming to the Marriott at Charleston. Talk about that.
Speaker 14 (38:08):
We do next Thursday, October sixteenth. It's called Operation Scam Jam,
and we have a whole series of experts who are
going to share tips and information on all of the
latest scams, all of the trends in the frauds, and
how to protect yourself things you can do, action steps
you can take to protect yourself, your family, finances, and
(38:30):
your assets from these scam artists. You know, these scam
artists are really really good at what they do, if
they would put half the effort into being.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
Legitimate and productive citizen exactly. How many of these scams
that we see don't emanate from the United States. A
lot of them, the majority of them, that's what I
would imagine.
Speaker 14 (38:48):
A lot of them do. A lot of them are
from overseas. And what technology nowadays, the scam artists can
be anywhere, yeah, anywhere in the world.
Speaker 4 (38:55):
Oh yeah, yeah, I mean, and the ability you mentioned
the text the ability to show up with a three
oh four area number when you're somewhere, you know, across
the globe somewhere. I mean it shows up literally. I've
gotten text that will say, you know, with a three
oh four number, and even have the city on it.
It'll say Charleston, West Virginia or whatever your hometown you
know may be. They're nowhere near Charleston, West Virginia. There's
(39:17):
somewhere else. So I mean, I was looking at your
list of presenters that you've got. Of course, Gayleen the
state director is going to be their friend of the program,
Jane Marx and others. You've got folks from local from
banking organizations. I mean, you've get some pretty heavy hitters here.
Speaker 14 (39:34):
We do. We have actually the regional vice president of AARP,
she's coming in from Texas t Tran. We have a
local banking panel of local bankers who can tell tell
you how to protect your bank account. We have a
representative of the Bureau of Senior Services who's going to
talk about Medicare scams. Right now, we're getting ready to
(39:56):
hit that open enrollment period for Medicare, and there are
there's so many health related Medicare related scams going on
right now. You have to be really, really careful, and
so she's going to talk about that, and then we
have a fraud expert from our fraud Watch network who's
coming over from our neighboring state of Kentucky, and so
(40:18):
Gary Aatkins will be coming over for that. And in addition,
we're going to have information tables that people can visit
from the Secretary of State, the Attorney General's Office, the
Treasurer's Office, AARP's Tax Aid, tax Preparation Program, the Bureau
of Senior Services. So there will be so many resources
(40:38):
available for people, all right, and.
Speaker 4 (40:40):
Again it's all happening on Thursday, the sixteenth of October
the Marriott Downtown Charleston. Explain to people how they can
sign up and who's this open to and just give
us all that information.
Speaker 14 (40:50):
It's open to the public, it's free. Lunch will be
provided catered by the Marriott, so I'm sure it'll be
the easiest way to sign up is to go our
Facebook page. We have a link on our Facebook page,
so if you just are on Facebook, look for AARP
West Virginia, or you can go to AARP dot org
slash WV and just click on events at the bottom
(41:13):
of the page, or we have a telephone number you
can call. It's one eight six six two two seven
seven four five eight. And while it is open to
the public and it's free, space.
Speaker 4 (41:26):
Is limited, right yeah, yeah, sure, And you want to
you know, for headcount purposes and things of that nature,
you probably need to let them know your covele What
about for the people that will be setting up. You
mentioned some of the governmental agencies and so on and
so forth. Do you have space available if somebody would
like to come and set up? Are you pretty much
limited AT's point?
Speaker 14 (41:42):
We're pretty much limited at this point. But if they
really want.
Speaker 4 (41:44):
To give me, you'll make it work.
Speaker 14 (41:46):
Give us a call, we'll see what we can do.
Speaker 4 (41:47):
Is what you do? You just say, Tom Hunter, move
that table, get off your we are in and go move
some stuff. Susan Lefuse the associate to a state director

Wiggly Hotline three zero four three four five fifty eight

three five five zero to zero. A couple of news
(49:14):
items here well. One in particular, Daniel Woods spent yesterday
in the court room of Judge Mary Claire Akers here
in Charleston, focusing on the shooting near the Shawnee Sports Complex. Now,
this story was posted of course by Daniel very very
in depth reporting on day one in Judge Jakers's court
(49:35):
room yesterday. You can read that for yourself at wv
metronews dot com. Suits of pictures on there as well.
Caden Brown was in court yesterday charged with wanton endangerment
and involving a firearm after he was allegedly part of
a drive by that happened on Smooth Avenue and Dunbar
on that day in twenty twenty four. And again Daniel
has a full story with full details, pictures and whatnot,
(49:56):
posted at wv Metronews dot com and I will say
that about that day. I remember, I remember it well.
I wasn't there. It was a Sunday afternoon and I
was at home, you know, watching some sporting events. I uh,
and I have to do on Sundays if I'm not working,
which I am most Sundays.
Speaker 14 (50:14):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (50:14):
But I just remember when the news started started hitting
social media about that. And keep in mind, this happened
a couple of blocks away from the Shawnee Sports Complex.
It did not happen on the Shawnee Sports Complex. Okay,
a couple of blocks away. Now, it did create a
lot of issues for the Shawnee Sports Complex because of
the people that were there, and you know, you used
(50:35):
to hear gunshots and you it's kind of hard to tell,
is this just you know, a few feet away from me.
There are a couple of blocks away from me.
Speaker 20 (50:43):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (50:44):
And that's the just what the whole court case is about.
But it did not happen at the Shawnee Sports Complex.
But old brother, if you were following social media that day,
you would have thinked, you would have thought that it did.
And I have often said that, and this has really
nothing to do with the case. And I'm sure justice
will prevail one way or the other. But I have
(51:05):
often said this with our issue with social media, there
is so much misinformation out there, and this day was
a good example. By the time that I first saw
it hit, you know, and I just you know, it
said shooting near, never said near. It never said at
the Shawnee Sports Complex near by the time it was
(51:28):
all said and done, and you know, you give it
thirty minutes, I was at the complex and I saw
the shooting on the Pitcher's mound or something like that,
and you're just like, that's that's that's not what happened
at all. But anyway, and when those things happen, leave
the reporting up to the professionals. Okay, I'm not a
(51:49):
professional reporter. I'm not a newsgap, but I don't know
what I am. But leave the reporting to the professionals.
That's all I'm saying. The court case continues and Daniel
Woods is in the court room.
