1
00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Now we turn to the Kentucky Standard for News and

2
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:08.759
<v Speaker 1>Barnstown in Nelson County. Your reader today is Brian Hunt.

3
00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:13.439
<v Speaker 1>As a reminder, RADIOI is a reading service intended for

4
00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:17.399
<v Speaker 1>people who are blind or have other disabilities that make

5
00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:21.239
<v Speaker 1>it difficult to read printed material. We will begin with

6
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:28.079
<v Speaker 1>the addition dated August twenty third. Campaign heat spills over

7
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:35.240
<v Speaker 1>into Bluefield City meeting. The animosity that's been brewing within

8
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:40.520
<v Speaker 1>the Bloomfield City Council spills over into the audience at

9
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Monday's regular meetings with supporters of current Mayor Christus and

10
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Councilwoman Laura Barnett, briefly exchanging harsh words. Barnett is challenging

11
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:56.719
<v Speaker 1>Dudgeon for the mayor post, and a handful of supporters

12
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>of both candidates were on hand sporting ten T shirts

13
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:05.439
<v Speaker 1>for each candidate. At Monday's meeting, Barnett said she observed

14
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:10.200
<v Speaker 1>city employees at city Hall wearing T shirts supporting Dudgeon

15
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:15.640
<v Speaker 1>and that she found that to be unethical. Dudgeon responded

16
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:19.159
<v Speaker 1>that those supporters were not wearing those T shirts at

17
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:24.519
<v Speaker 1>his behest, and that anyone wearing a Dudgeon campaign T

18
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:28.319
<v Speaker 1>shirt had paid for them with their own money. Shortly

19
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:33.040
<v Speaker 1>after that, members of the audience began arguing amongst themselves,

20
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:37.200
<v Speaker 1>and one member of the crowd allegedly made a racial

21
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:43.760
<v Speaker 1>slurge toward another attendee. Things got heeded, eventually requiring Police

22
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:47.319
<v Speaker 1>Chief Eddie Whitworth to instruct the crowd to calm down.

23
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:52.239
<v Speaker 1>Dudgeon later issued a statement on social media condemning the

24
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:56.519
<v Speaker 1>use of hateful and racist language either at city Hall

25
00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:02.439
<v Speaker 1>or out in the community. In other news, the city

26
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:06.879
<v Speaker 1>received an e mail issued by Nelson Judge Executive Tim

27
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Hutches to Dudgeon and City Council informing them that Bloomfield's

28
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:19.199
<v Speaker 1>plan to abandon its nuisance ordinance and have the county

29
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:26.039
<v Speaker 1>take over enforcement under the current nuisance ordinance would not proceed. Quote.

30
00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:29.159
<v Speaker 1>During our conversation, I told you that I was not

31
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:34.439
<v Speaker 1>inclined to support the County taking on this responsibility, particularly

32
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:38.319
<v Speaker 1>in light of Bloomfield's decision to not work with Nelson

33
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:44.120
<v Speaker 1>County on providing garbage service. Hutch's email reads, I also

34
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:47.439
<v Speaker 1>told you I would discuss the matter with the magistrates

35
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:51.800
<v Speaker 1>and consider their opinions. I have done so, and the

36
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:56.759
<v Speaker 1>magistrates agreed that Nelson County should not take over Bloomfield's

37
00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:02.520
<v Speaker 1>nuisance complaints. Therefore, the Nelson County Fiscal Court will not

38
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:09.759
<v Speaker 1>be resuming assuming responsibility for Nussan's complaints within the City

39
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:16.039
<v Speaker 1>of Bloomfield. In his email, Hutchins noted that ordinance enforcement

40
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:21.080
<v Speaker 1>cost the county money and given Bloomfield's unwillingness to work

41
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:24.280
<v Speaker 1>with the county for garbage pickup, the city has signed

42
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:27.879
<v Speaker 1>a contract with Runky for this, it made it so

43
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:31.120
<v Speaker 1>that there was a lack of mutual benefit for the county.

44
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:36.879
<v Speaker 1>Bloomfield had planned to repeal its nuisance ordinance, but with

45
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:41.639
<v Speaker 1>Nelson County indicating it would not take over enforcement, this

46
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:45.800
<v Speaker 1>action was tabled. As a result, the city will look

47
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:51.159
<v Speaker 1>into revising the language of its nuisance ordinance, using language

48
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:56.719
<v Speaker 1>mirroring Nelson County's ordinance to give it quote more backbone,

49
00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:03.840
<v Speaker 1>according to councilman's ken le Limmon, so it's measurable and enforceable.

50
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:11.120
<v Speaker 1>The city was also looking into establishing a whistleblower ordinance

51
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:14.560
<v Speaker 1>that goes above and beyond what is codified in the

52
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:20.839
<v Speaker 1>city's employee Handbook as of March twenty twenty four describing

53
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:27.480
<v Speaker 1>retaliation against city employees. However, city Attorney Audrey Hayden Blackman

54
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:31.240
<v Speaker 1>consulted with the Kentucky League of Cities and found that

55
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:35.480
<v Speaker 1>only one of three hundred and eighty cities in Kentucky

56
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:42.319
<v Speaker 1>has a separate whistle blower ordinance, and that is Louisville,

57
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:47.879
<v Speaker 1>which adopted language mirroring Kentucky State's Statute sixty one point

58
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:52.600
<v Speaker 1>one oh one. Hayden Blackman said she would work on

59
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:57.800
<v Speaker 1>making up an ordinance that matches up with that what

60
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:02.319
<v Speaker 1>is in the Employee Handbook, and also suggested the city

61
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:07.720
<v Speaker 1>adopt the handbook by municipal order, which council did. The

62
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:12.120
<v Speaker 1>long awaited parts for the city's water pump stations have

63
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.720
<v Speaker 1>been shipped, and Dudgeon said it shouldn't be long before

64
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:20.279
<v Speaker 1>those arrive and can be installed. Dudgeon also reported that

65
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:24.519
<v Speaker 1>two new employees have been hired for the city's public

66
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:29.199
<v Speaker 1>works department and that they would start on Monday next

67
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:38.240
<v Speaker 1>In Cchs, new Haven construction projects near bidding, Nelson County

68
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Schools discuss new approach to career programs. Nelson County Schools

69
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:49.720
<v Speaker 1>have two forthcoming construction projects, Nelson County High School and

70
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:54.240
<v Speaker 1>New Haven School. On Tuesday, the Board of Education approved

71
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:59.839
<v Speaker 1>documents for NCCHS and discussed the timeline for each school.

72
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Over the last six months, the Board of Education has

73
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:09.879
<v Speaker 1>been presented with steady progress on both the NCCHS and

74
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:15.720
<v Speaker 1>New Haven School projects. At the latest meeting on August eighteen,

75
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:22.079
<v Speaker 1>the BOES approved the bg DASH two, BG DASH three,

76
00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:27.079
<v Speaker 1>and Design development documents. The bg DASH two is a

77
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:32.240
<v Speaker 1>high level system specification for the Kentucky Department of Education.

78
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:38.879
<v Speaker 1>The bg DASH three is a cost estimate from Codell Construction.

79
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Kate Ward, architect and partner with Studio Kramer, presented designs

80
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:50.720
<v Speaker 1>of the addition of NCCHS. The first phase of construction

81
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:54.800
<v Speaker 1>for the building will be the new edition, which will

82
00:06:54.800 --> 00:07:01.120
<v Speaker 1>bring it closer to Bloomfield Road, so that completing the

83
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:05.160
<v Speaker 1>building in phases would allow students and teachers to move

84
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:09.040
<v Speaker 1>into them as they are finished, in turn freeing up

85
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:12.759
<v Speaker 1>space for the next step of the project. Ward said

86
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:17.160
<v Speaker 1>in October she would ask the Board for approval of

87
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:22.600
<v Speaker 1>the project constructed documents, with bidding likely occurring in November

88
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:27.639
<v Speaker 1>or December. Renovations for New Haven School include a new

89
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:32.199
<v Speaker 1>front entrance in drop off zone, additional front office space,

90
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:36.680
<v Speaker 1>a pedestrian walkway connecting the gym to the main building,

91
00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:42.120
<v Speaker 1>a pre k playground, and a new back drop off zone.

92
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:47.959
<v Speaker 1>In CS Chief Operating Officer Alex Martin said in September

93
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:51.639
<v Speaker 1>the construction documents will be presented to the Board of

94
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:57.439
<v Speaker 1>Education for approval. He said they are aiming for bidding

95
00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:02.000
<v Speaker 1>in October and ready for review in November. He said

96
00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:05.720
<v Speaker 1>the work on this project would primarily be conducted over

97
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:11.160
<v Speaker 1>two summers. In other news from Tuesday's meeting, NCS Director

98
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:15.720
<v Speaker 1>of Workforce Development Laura Arnold said they are exploring the

99
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:20.920
<v Speaker 1>future of graduation requirements beyond what the state requires. This

100
00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:24.720
<v Speaker 1>is part of a larger conversation. Arnold presented that the

101
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:28.920
<v Speaker 1>board this summer of new college and career programs for

102
00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:35.279
<v Speaker 1>students Nelson County Schools is exploring creating new houses for

103
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:40.039
<v Speaker 1>college and careers. This would include program majors and minors

104
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:44.759
<v Speaker 1>with their own courses of study. Arnold said they've already

105
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:48.879
<v Speaker 1>begun to bring six to twelve staff together to discuss

106
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:53.840
<v Speaker 1>the programs and will begin drafting these ideas in coming months.

107
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.639
<v Speaker 1>Arnold said students would be able to select courses like

108
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:02.919
<v Speaker 1>college students, seeing the full picture and course of study

109
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.759
<v Speaker 1>needed to complete the program. The expansion of the district's

110
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:12.279
<v Speaker 1>college and career offerings has also begun. The process of

111
00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:18.279
<v Speaker 1>facing in new graduation requirements for students, which would focus

112
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:23.720
<v Speaker 1>on the Work and Life Ready profile. The Work of

113
00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Life Ready profile has three components, Program of Study, Major Learner, Wallet, Worker,

114
00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:39.799
<v Speaker 1>work based Learning. Arnold said this is a beginning conversation

115
00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:45.440
<v Speaker 1>on changing the requirements and how they potentially will be implemented.

116
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:51.279
<v Speaker 1>The proposal is the class of twenty thirty one and

117
00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:56.080
<v Speaker 1>twenty thirty two would be required to complete all three components.

118
00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Class of twenty twenty nine current tenth grade would have

119
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:05.759
<v Speaker 1>a Work in Life Ready Seminar and Defense class. This

120
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:10.159
<v Speaker 1>also is where one component of the profile would be

121
00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:15.000
<v Speaker 1>required at graduation. Over the next two years, the other

122
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:20.320
<v Speaker 1>two components would be added as requirements. Arnold said they

123
00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:24.480
<v Speaker 1>are currently piloting the Work and Life Ready Seminar this

124
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:28.399
<v Speaker 1>year in both high schools. The Nelson County Board of

125
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Education will meet in September first for a working session

126
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:38.679
<v Speaker 1>to discuss finances, with a regular meeting on September twenty second.

127
00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:42.240
<v Speaker 1>Both meetings will be held at the new UP Center

128
00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:51.799
<v Speaker 1>at five thirty pm. Next buttermoult days kick off August

129
00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:56.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty seventh. The beloved Buttermilt Days festival will begin next

130
00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:01.279
<v Speaker 1>Thursday for three days of community music and food on

131
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:06.120
<v Speaker 1>South third Street in Bardstown. This August marks the thirty

132
00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:12.240
<v Speaker 1>second year Buttermilt Days has happened in Bardstown after three decades.

133
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:16.679
<v Speaker 1>What initially began is a backyard barbecue in homecoming has

134
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.720
<v Speaker 1>boomed into a three day event with food, music, and

135
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:26.720
<v Speaker 1>people from outside of Nelson County. Kevin Rogers, one of

136
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:30.320
<v Speaker 1>the originators of the event, said he would have never

137
00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:37.039
<v Speaker 1>imagined Buttermilt Days would still be around today. For Rogers,

138
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:40.320
<v Speaker 1>thirty two years is an accomplishment and a signal that

139
00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:45.159
<v Speaker 1>Bardstown is a community like no other. It feels good

140
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:48.200
<v Speaker 1>to know that here in Bardstown we can show other

141
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:51.399
<v Speaker 1>communities how we can just come together and work together.

142
00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:54.840
<v Speaker 1>He said. They can't do that in other cities like

143
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:59.399
<v Speaker 1>we do it here. I speak highly of Bardstown. The

144
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:04.519
<v Speaker 1>second annual Buttermilk Days will happen over three days beginning

145
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:09.679
<v Speaker 1>August twenty seven through August twenty ninth. Thursday Night will

146
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:14.399
<v Speaker 1>be the community favorite twelfth annual homemade Wine Tasting and

147
00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:19.320
<v Speaker 1>the wild Meat Buffet. DJ Ronnie g will provide the

148
00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:24.759
<v Speaker 1>music for the evening from six to ten pm. On Friday,

149
00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:28.799
<v Speaker 1>vendors will line South third Street ahead of Bardstown's own

150
00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:32.919
<v Speaker 1>Big Black Cadillac taking the stage from five pm to

151
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:38.440
<v Speaker 1>eleven pm. DJG Money will also be providing tunes for

158
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:12.080

159
00:13:12.279 --> 00:13:17.120
<v Speaker 1>review from Nashville. Looking ahead the next week, Roger said

160
00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:20.759
<v Speaker 1>families have already reached out to him asking to put

161
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:25.039
<v Speaker 1>up tents for the event. He said he can't reserve spots,

162
00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:29.000
<v Speaker 1>but that all the free space is first come, first served.

163
00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:33.559
<v Speaker 1>Ultimately for Rogers, he said, Buttermilk Days is about bringing

164
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:37.720
<v Speaker 1>people together. For those who are out of town, he

165
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:42.120
<v Speaker 1>encourages them to get out and discover all Bartstown has

166
00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:46.039
<v Speaker 1>to offer. In between time at Buttermilk. It has blown

167
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:49.159
<v Speaker 1>up over the last several years. He said, it's just

168
00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:53.000
<v Speaker 1>blown up into I think one of Bartstown's premier festivals.

169
00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:56.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean not being biased or anything, but I feel

170
00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:59.759
<v Speaker 1>like it. I want people to come to Bartstown and

171
00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:03.480
<v Speaker 1>go up there and visit our downtown shops, just go

172
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:07.480
<v Speaker 1>out and experience Bartown. We are the Bourbon capital of

173
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:11.120
<v Speaker 1>the world, but we're so much more than that. To

174
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:14.799
<v Speaker 1>keep up to day on the festival, visit Buttermount Day's

175
00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Festival on Facebook. Next, Bargetown Scarecrow Trail back for year two.

176
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Sponsorships opened through September ninth. The Bargstown Scarecrow Trail is

177
00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:35.519
<v Speaker 1>backed this fall as the Stephen Foster Drama Association invites

178
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:39.840
<v Speaker 1>community organizations and businesses to join in on the festive

179
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:45.840
<v Speaker 1>fund Last year, the Drama Association Launt its new autumn fundraiser,

180
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:50.440
<v Speaker 1>the Bargetown Scarecrow Trail. The parking lot of the j

181
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:57.519
<v Speaker 1>Dan Talbot Amphitheater was filled with scarecrows created by local artists, schools,

182
00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:02.200
<v Speaker 1>and businesses and organizations. This September, the trail is back

183
00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:09.120
<v Speaker 1>for round two. Registration is open through September ninth. The

184
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:16.679
<v Speaker 1>trail will open for guests beginning September twenty fifth through

185
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:21.519
<v Speaker 1>November sixth. When we launched it last year, we internally

186
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:24.679
<v Speaker 1>thought it was a fun idea and something that suited

187
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:28.440
<v Speaker 1>both our location and the creative spirit of what we

188
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:33.840
<v Speaker 1>do year round. Executive artistic director Johnny Warren said, we

189
00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:37.399
<v Speaker 1>hoped that people would enjoy it, but we really had

190
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:42.360
<v Speaker 1>those had no idea how much fun people would have

191
00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:47.279
<v Speaker 1>with it, both those building scarecrows, but also the visitors

192
00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:52.279
<v Speaker 1>that came through out the scarecrow season. This year, Warren

193
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:58.200
<v Speaker 1>said they are already have sponsorships and participating businesses rolling in.

194
00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:02.679
<v Speaker 1>As of August nineteen, he said they had twice as

195
00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:08.519
<v Speaker 1>many participants as they did last year. As for their crew,

196
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Warren said they have created a few scarecrows and have

197
00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:19.080
<v Speaker 1>designs up their sleeves to create more. Last year, he

198
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:22.799
<v Speaker 1>said they were blown away by the scarecrows that were created.

199
00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Warren said it was fun to see different organizations represent

200
00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:31.279
<v Speaker 1>themselves in a new art form. Some of the pilot

201
00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:37.440
<v Speaker 1>yeers scarecrows included a wooden creation from music, the monopoly Man,

202
00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:43.600
<v Speaker 1>and football player and cheerleader from Bardstown City schools. Warren

203
00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:47.960
<v Speaker 1>said this project isn't just a fundraiser for their organization.

204
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:52.200
<v Speaker 1>It's a showcase of community talent and fun and free

205
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:56.000
<v Speaker 1>event for families. This fault one part of the event

206
00:16:56.279 --> 00:17:01.840
<v Speaker 1>is complementary spots for local artists and local schools. Warren said,

207
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:06.480
<v Speaker 1>each school building can submit three scarecrows at no cost.

208
00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:11.680
<v Speaker 1>These opportunities are there, and we'd love to spread the

209
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:16.359
<v Speaker 1>word that that opportunity is there for our local artists

210
00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:19.960
<v Speaker 1>and our local schools to participate and get their name

211
00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:28.240
<v Speaker 1>out there in this fund creative opportunity. He added for businesses, groups,

212
00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:32.359
<v Speaker 1>and others who are interested in participating in this year's trail,

213
00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:37.039
<v Speaker 1>there are three ways to support. A standard scarecrow level

214
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:40.440
<v Speaker 1>is one hundred and fifty dollars with a height restrict

215
00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:45.640
