Jim and 21 00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:15.560 I are together just about every Saint Patrick's Day weekend. 22 00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.239 We were at the Dorchester sixteenth annual Saint Patrick's Day 23 00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.359 Brunch on Saturday from nine thirty to noon at the 24 00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:27.400 Saint Teresa of Calcutta Parish Hall. Jim Brett, welcome back. 25 00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:31.599 I think we had a pretty pretty good morning in Dorchester. 26 00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.799 I think we did better than a pretty good morning, 27 00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:39.439 and I thank you for your support and your advocacy 28 00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:42.519 on behalf of the food Pantry. As you said, it's 29 00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:47.239 sixteenth anniversary of putting this breakfast together, and I wouldn't 30 00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:51.719 be able to do any of these sixteen dinners breakfast 31 00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:56.079 without the support of my wife, Patty, and I am 32 00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:00.159 grateful for her her advocacy. I'm making sure that the 33 00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:05.680 breakfast is a stellar event and anyone that comes to 34 00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:10.400 the event, and I always say good people come together 35 00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:13.800 for a good cause, and that cause is the Food Pantry, 36 00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:18.879 and it's needed now more than ever. Even in our 37 00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:23.800 own neighborhoods in Boston, there are people who are looking 38 00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.159 for an extra bag of groceries, and quite frankly, the 39 00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:31.319 bags that we prepare and distribute to our neighbors and 40 00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.560 our neighbors in need, they're about one hundred dollars worth 41 00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:40.680 of goods, all nutritious items, and that makes a world 42 00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:43.000 of difference to a lot of our neighbors. So you 43 00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:45.599 don't have to go far to find a way to 44 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:48.919 help your neighbor in need. And this is what we 45 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:52.719 do at the Marianne Bread Food Pantry each and every week. 46 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:56.800 Not only do we give out the groceries and the 47 00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:01.199 packaged goods and the kins of beans, but on occasion 48 00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:03.360 people will come to us and say, we have toys 49 00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:06.879 we want to distribute to you, to you to give 50 00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:10.240 to the to the children in Rochester and rock spray 51 00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:12.840 matter pants. There are people who come in with clothing, 52 00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.719 brand new clothing, and say, why don't you distribute that 53 00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:18.199 to some of your neighbors. And I'm telling you, when 54 00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:21.759 you distribute a brand new jacket or a brand new sweater, 55 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:25.879 you and I may take for that granted it's a 56 00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:28.400 new sweater. You give it to somebody in the neighborhood 57 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:30.240 and they they may say this the first time I've 58 00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:33.360 ever had a new new sweater. So that's why I 59 00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:35.360 always say, you don't have to go far to find 60 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.080 a way of making a difference. The marian Bread Food 61 00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:42.879 pantry with extraordinary volunteers. I'm making a difference and helping 62 00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:46.560 our neighbors cope, cope with day to day struggles that 63 00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.960 they're having. And we do all five hundred families a month. 64 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:54.319 And you know, the volunteers are just that, they're volunteers. 65 00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:58.439 But you know when anybody comes to that food pantry fundraiser, 66 00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.680 I really believe they open their eyes at the same 67 00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:06.759 time there their heart is touched by what that food 68 00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:08.599 pantry represents in the neighborhood. 69 00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.759 Well, it's amazing, it's in a beautiful what used Well, 70 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:14.280 I guess what still is Saint Margaret's Church. I know 71 00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:17.240 there's a little bit of it's named because of a 72 00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:20.639 visit that I think Saint Teresa made there many years 73 00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:24.480 ago called It's in the Saint Teresa of Calcutta Parish 74 00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:29.319 Hall at church. Yes uh. And of course this was 75 00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:32.079 started by the Brett family, a great family from Dorchester 76 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.120 in honor of your your late mom Mary and Brett, 77 00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:41.560 which which honors her memory and helps so many people 78 00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:44.759 over the course of a year. Is it five hundred 79 00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:46.160 families that. 80 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:48.759 That we do about five hundred families a month? We 81 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:51.120 do five hundred families a month, and. 82 00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:56.160 Yeah, I assume that that cast can that group of 83 00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:58.519 families can change over the course of the year. So 84 00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:01.360 it's just not four hundred. Yeah, it may be ye, 85 00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:03.879 many more than five hundred who at some point are help. 86 00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:07.920 Maybe some are help there every month. Right, So once 87 00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:10.480 tell us if people are in the neighborhood and they 88 00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:12.240 need it, need some help, how do they get in 89 00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.759 touch with you? The money's been raised, h you know what, 90 00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:18.319 the hard work has been done for a year by 91 00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:21.560 the Bread family. But boy, how do they get in touch? 92 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:22.199 They get it? Yeah? 93 00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:26.720 Who's Yeah, well it could be John Roni father John 94 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:29.759 Ronigan at the church itself. But you know it would 95 00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:32.959 be wonderful is just to have volunteers. We always look 96 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:37.360 for volunteers. Boy, if they ever came by the Fool 97 00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:40.959 pantry on any given Saturday morning from nine to eleven, 98 00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:44.439 and we do have them on occasion to come and 99 00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:48.759 to h and to observe what we do. I think 100 00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:50.639 they get addicted and they said, I want to be here, 101 00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:53.120 I want to help. I feel as though I'm making 102 00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:56.680 a difference. So I would suggest anyone on the radio 103 00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:59.680 listening audience, if you're interested in knowing more about the 104 00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:00.879 food pintry. 105 00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:01.600 Come by in. 106 00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:04.759 Any Saturday morning between nine and eleven, and I think 107 00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:07.759 you will be pretty as I say, I think anyone 108 00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:11.360 that comes, they are their eyes will be opened and 109 00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:13.439 the hard will be touched by what we do. 110 00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:17.639 Well, you had a great turnout. You had most of 111 00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:23.240 the politicians who represent the area. I know that Congressman 112 00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:28.240 Lynch always makes a very generous donation and actually gives 113 00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:33.639 people an opportunity to have a tour of the capital, 114 00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:37.800 a legitimate tour of the capital where you're invited in 115 00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:40.560 and they get I think, get to have lunch with him. 116 00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:42.800 I know that's an item that a lot of people 117 00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:46.079 are always very anxious to bid on. And I mean 118 00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:50.319 there's some artwork there and there's a lot of sports tickets, 119 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:52.959 so it's a great it's a great event. People. How 120 00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:55.519 could they You must have a website, I assume where 121 00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:58.160 people can also get some more information, I hope, but. 122 00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:01.680 You know they could. I'd like to see them come 123 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:04.000 to the first of all, come to the church.

Yeah, 155 00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:39.320 I mean, the generosity was overwhelming. There are just no 156 00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:43.480 words too, There were really no words adequate enough to 157 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:47.879 just express my deep appreciation. But I'll tell you a 158 00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:51.840 wonderful example is that we had a gentleman who gave 159 00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:55.679 us one hundred dollars for the last five years and 160 00:08:55.759 --> 00:09:00.399 we always appreciated. This year became as a recipient and 161 00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:04.879 asking for a bag of groceries, which tells me that 162 00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:09.200 we're only we're only a few steps away ourselves from 163 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:13.759 being a donor to a recipient. So uh, it could 164 00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:17.960 be a health issue in the family, termination of employment. 165 00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:21.919 I mean, we don't judge, but it was remarkable how 166 00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:25.480 it just so quickly it could turn that somebody is 167 00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:28.879 now saying, look, when I was able to I gave. 168 00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:31.120 Now I'm asking if you could give me in the 169 00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:32.200 some assistance. 170 00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:35.879 Much going from going from being a donor to a 171 00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:38.919 to a beneficiary simple as simple as that right, Jim 172 00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:41.600 Brett is always great to see you on Saturday.

And then we're going to talk a little 188 00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:30.440 bit later on with a book author called Law at 189 00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:33.840 the Movies. I'm looking to be really interested in that. 190 00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:35.919 And then we're going to talk with someone about the 191 00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:39.759 fact that tipping tipping is getting out of control in 192 00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:42.799 many respects. So those would be the three other topics 193 00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:44.879 we'll talk about between now and nine. And we'll get 194 00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:49.240 into the issue of the White Stadium lawsuit that's going on. 195 00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:52.559 There's there's some very strong feelings on both sides of 196 00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:55.600 this case, and we'll talk to people represented on both sides, 197 00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:59.000 and then we'll talk about the deportations that went on 198 00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:01.879 this weekend. And I think it's I think that's a 199 00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:06.840 really interesting issue that we're going to get into pretty deeply. 200 00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:09.000 After ten o'clock back on night Side. My name is 201 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:11.480 Dan Ray. No phone calls yet, but we'll get to 202 00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:13.559 you right after the nine on that stay with us 203 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:14.240 back after this. 204 00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:18.519 Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World 205 00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:22.399 night Side Studios. I'm WBZ News Radio. 206 00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:27.000 Well Spring is right around the corner. Sat Patrick's Day. 207 00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:30.000 Weekend is ending in a couple of hours, and for 208 00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:32.240 me that is always the marker that winter is over 209 00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:37.960 and spring is here. The Essex County Trail Association's tail 210 00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:42.559 for the trails five K casual can Across coming up 211 00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:46.720 on March twenty ninth. Talking with Martha Sanders. She is 212 00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:48.840 the chair of the Board of Directors for the Essex 213 00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:53.159 County Trail Association and this is called the can Across. 214 00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:55.799 I'm thinking the first four letters there of C A 215 00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:58.360 and I might have something to do with K nine 216 00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:00.080 him Martha Savis. 217 00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:03.480 Hi, I'm fine, Thank you, thanks so much for having 218 00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:08.200 me on. Yes, you're correct, Candi. The candy part is 219 00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:12.919 for canine. It's actually sort of a hybrid of canine 220 00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:17.879 and cross country because this is a cross country run 221 00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:21.720 with a person and a dog who are attached. 222 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:26.240 Really really, now, how many years have you? Is this 223 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:28.639 the first time? I've never heard of this one before. 224 00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:30.279 You've probably have done it for twenty years that I've 225 00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:30.799 just never. 226 00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:33.840 Heard of it. It is fairly new. It's new to 227 00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:38.039 this area. This is our third coming up a week 228 00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:41.759 from Saturday, and so it's a fairly new event. We're 229 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:45.919 an old organization forty we've been in business for forty years, 230 00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:48.720 and we do lots of trail events. This is fairly 231 00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:52.600 new and it's the only race of its kind in Massachusetts. 232 00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:56.200 I think there is another one now, I'm not sure 233 00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:00.159 when it is in Medfield possibly, but it's more of 234 00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.679 a dog walk and can across. A few choose to 235 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:07.960 do it, but we we expect people to, you know, 236 00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:12.240 adhere to the rules that are very specific for Canton Cross. 237 00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:14.879 I have never heard of this before. Okay, I have 238 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:18.799 never heard of anything like this before. When you think 239 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:22.080 about let's say a five K or a ten K. 240 00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:23.799 Now five K is going to be about three point 241 00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:28.000 one miles if I recall correct exactly. Okay, yeah, Now 242 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:33.200 are these trails wooded trails where there's you know tree, 243 00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:38.159 you know trees, roots of trees or is this a 244 00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:39.240 fairly flat course? 245 00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:42.759 First of all, well, this is one of our challenges 246 00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:45.240 when we decided a few years ago that we wanted 247 00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:47.600 to do this. We needed to find the right locations 248 00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:50.120 for it, because there are two things you need. Well, 249 00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:53.679 diverse terrain is always preferable, but you need to start 250 00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:58.519 in a big open field because when you have fifty 251 00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:04.039 sixty people and their dogs in a start line and 252 00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:07.159 they need to get sorted out. So what happens is 253 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:09.960 we're up in West Newbury. We start in the outfield 254 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:12.639 of a ball field. We have a big, wide line 255 00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:16.679 and then within a few minutes the field of runners 256 00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:19.600 starts to narrow down. The fastest people are out in front, 257 00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:23.799 and it gets because by the time they go through 258 00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:26.759 the fields, they're going to be in the woods and 259 00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:29.840 then it's single track for part of it, and their 260 00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:37.240 hills their roots there. So it's it's it's somewhat challenging, 261 00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:41.440 it's not terribly difficult, but the main challenge is getting 262 00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:43.919 in sync with your dog to do it. Because you've 263 00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:48.279 got a waste belt. You have a bungee cord, so 264 00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:51.200 you have an elastic cord that's six to ten feet long, 265 00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:54.279 and then it's attached to a dog with a running harness. 266 00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:58.120 And a running harness is one where they it's clipped. 267 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:02.039 The contact point is to are there back in and 268 00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:05.039 it's it's designed so that they can pull and it's 269 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:07.679 comfortable for them. So you're attached. 270 00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:11.320 Yeah, let me ask you. I'm really fascinated. This is 271 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:16.840 this your group Tails for the Trails? Is there a 272 00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:20.759 charity that benefits from this or is this really. 273 00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:23.799 Or is this fantastically an. 274 00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:28.399 Event that that has been put together which pays for itself. 275 00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:30.759 I don't know if there are prices or not. I'm 276 00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:33.440 probably asking more questions than I have a right to, 277 00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:36.960 but I try to anticipate the questions that that people 278 00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:39.360 would be it because I know there are people right 279 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:40.879 now who are listening. I've never heard of this and 280 00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:43.679 want to participate. We will give your website at the 281 00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:47.159 end of the interview. But this is not a benefit 282 00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:50.720 for you know, homeless dogs or anything like that. This 283 00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:54.519 is this is an event period, correct. 284 00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:59.720 It's an it benefits Essex County Trail Association. That's our organization, 285 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:05.440 and we protect and maintain hundreds of miles of trails 286 00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:08.840 in Essex County, just in six towns. So we have 287 00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:11.399 these events. We have trail runs and other events over 288 00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:15.159 the course of the year to you know, boost awareness 289 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:17.960 of the trails, to engage with our trail users, and 290 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:21.919 also to raise money to pay for very expensive trail 291 00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:23.759 maintenance and trail projects. 292 00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:26.600 So that's what we do, okay, okay, So there is 293 00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:30.080 there is a purpose above and beyond just getting out 294 00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:32.840 and running three point one miles with few other people 295 00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:35.159 and your dog. So I get that. Okay, that's good. 296 00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:40.480 So as I understand it, by the way, is the 297 00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:42.960 prize bragging rights at the end? I see that you 298 00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:48.720 have top three finishes in different divisions. What if the 299 00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:51.399 prize is great, If it's just for bragging rights, that's 300 00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:51.960 okay too. 301 00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:55.240 We do give up prizes, you know, there are no 302 00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:58.519 trophies or anything like that. So this gift certificates and 303 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:04.160 sometimes it's gear. It's it's candycross gear and so it's both. 304 00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:05.480 It's it's are there are. 305 00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:07.359 There a lot of let me, are there a lot 306 00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:11.480 of people up in Essex County who get their exercise 307 00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:13.680 and get there. I mean, I see a lot of 308 00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:16.599 people walking dogs where I live, you know, on a 309 00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:20.279 Sunday afternoon or Saturday morning, walking their dog. But I 310 00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:24.039 don't now Again, maybe it's happening and I'm just not 311 00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:28.440 familiar with the trails. Is this something that you folks 312 00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:31.839 have developed here or is it something that become more 313 00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:33.680 common around the state. 314 00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:38.440 So it's quite popular in northern Europe and it began 315 00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:43.160 as a way to exercise sled dogs off season. So 316 00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:46.960 you because you it's it's very similar to that. You know, 317 00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:51.319 you're your dog is pulling, but the differences you're running. 318 00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:53.519 But the people who do this a lot use voice 319 00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:56.000 commands similar to what you would use with sled dog. 320 00:17:56.440 --> 00:17:59.079 With sled dogs, you you have certain commands to go left, 321 00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:01.559 to go ride or slow down, our speed up. So 322 00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:06.480 it's it. But it hasn't really taken off here because 323 00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:09.759 it is sort of I think people now. 324 00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:11.759 Spend on night side. Come on, come on, now that 325 00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:15.000 it's spend on night shide, are you going to be overwhelmed? 326 00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:17.559 Give me the website. So if anybody by the way, 327 00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:22.799 the event is on March twenty ninth. Yes, and that 328 00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:25.079 is a Saturday or Sunday. I got to look at 329 00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:26.759 my calendar here. 330 00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:31.240 It's a week from Saturday week for Saturday. It's a 331 00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:36.920 Pipe Stave Hill in West Newbury Pipe Stave Hill Recreation Area. 332 00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:40.799 It's on Route one thirteen. We have a dog rescue 333 00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:43.599 coming with adoptable puppies to do a meet and greet. 334 00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:47.960 It is definitely something that spectators can at least watch 335 00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:50.839 the start and finish off because we are on this 336 00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:54.720 We start on this ball field and it's pretty entertaining. 337 00:18:54.759 --> 00:18:58.200 We had sixty people last year. We're on track to 338 00:18:58.279 --> 00:19:01.839 have the same number number this here. All different types 339 00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:05.640 of dogs, all different types and ages of people, and 340 00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:10.839 it's really hilarious. The dogs in the beginning all start barking. 341 00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:13.359 We actually had to get a megaphone for this event 342 00:19:13.559 --> 00:19:17.400 because people couldn't hear our trail instructions because the dogs 343 00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:20.200 all start barking and it's. 344 00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:23.000 We're getting a little tight on time here. So I've 345 00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:26.240 probably used some of my question too many questions here, 346 00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:29.200 But Martha, is there a website we can send people to. 347 00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:33.960 Yes, it's ecta online dot org. 348 00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:40.000 Ec let me spill.
