61
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:35.639
<v Speaker 2>that's okay. However, you have a great school down there,

62
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.159
<v Speaker 2>Duke University. Have you taught there for some time?

63
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:43.719
<v Speaker 3>I have. I've been a part of Duke for seventeen years.

64
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:45.439
<v Speaker 2>Good for you. Well if you have a run in

65
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:48.919
<v Speaker 2>on campus to a dear friend of mine, a great

66
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:51.719
<v Speaker 2>basketball player for Duke in the nineteen sixties, we're on

67
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.680
<v Speaker 2>with a stellar career in the NBA. Jack Marin, he's

68
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:57.599
<v Speaker 2>a lawyer down in North Carolina, and you tell him

69
00:03:57.639 --> 00:03:59.599
<v Speaker 2>you're on Nightside with Dan Ray. Jack has been on

70
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:03.319
<v Speaker 2>this show actually as well. A great I mean, went

71
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.360
<v Speaker 2>not only to Duke undergraduate but afags NBA career, went

72
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:08.879
<v Speaker 2>and got his law degree at Duke Law School, which

73
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:13.439
<v Speaker 2>is a fabulous law school. Uh. He's he is blue

74
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:16.279
<v Speaker 2>devil through and through and a great guy. Jack Marin,

75
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:20.079
<v Speaker 2>class of nineteen sixty six sent me a note the

76
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:24.639
<v Speaker 2>other day and told me what age he just hit.

77
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Someone could do the math, but I'm not going to

78
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:29.920
<v Speaker 2>say it on the air anyway. You are a dog scientist,

79
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:32.399
<v Speaker 2>and we are dog people on this program. I end

80
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:36.480
<v Speaker 2>every program at eleven fifty eight every weeknight with this phrase,

81
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:39.040
<v Speaker 2>all dogs, all cats, all pets go to heaven.

82
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:39.920
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

83
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:41.959
<v Speaker 2>And I want to explain a little bit, but I

84
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:45.399
<v Speaker 2>do believe that. I do believe that. And tell us

85
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:48.920
<v Speaker 2>what you do at the Duke Canine Cognition Center. There's

86
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:51.560
<v Speaker 2>a lot to this. I need to be quiet and

87
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:53.800
<v Speaker 2>I need to listen, and my audience is I'm going

88
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:56.600
<v Speaker 2>to listen as well. So tell us about the Cognition Center.

89
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:01.319
<v Speaker 3>Well, we are dedicated to understand standing the behavior and

90
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:05.160
<v Speaker 3>psychology of dogs, and we want to understand how we

91
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:08.759
<v Speaker 3>can better best friends and use what we learned so

92
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:12.680
<v Speaker 3>that we can enrich their lives and sometimes even have

93
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:17.079
<v Speaker 3>better luck training them to do all the amazing jobs

94
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:20.800
<v Speaker 3>they can do. So one of our big discoveries was

95
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:24.879
<v Speaker 3>to find that dogs have a genius to communicate with

96
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:29.279
<v Speaker 3>us that wolves and other primates don't have. That's really

97
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:33.160
<v Speaker 3>quite special. And we also discovered that we can use

98
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:35.920
<v Speaker 3>anybody who's ever had two dogs, you know, they can

99
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:38.040
<v Speaker 3>be really different from each other. And we discovered a

100
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:40.839
<v Speaker 3>way to measure that and to use it to sort

101
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:43.439
<v Speaker 3>of inform and predict which dogs might be best at

102
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:46.079
<v Speaker 3>doing all sorts of amazing jobs like helping people with

103
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:49.959
<v Speaker 3>disabilities as a service dog, or in detection work trying

104
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:51.439
<v Speaker 3>to find bombs and other things like that.

105
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:54.319
<v Speaker 2>There's a great piece in the Washington Post which I

106
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:57.839
<v Speaker 2>looked at, entitled science seeks better predictors of what makes

107
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:02.399
<v Speaker 2>a good service dog. Dogs are amazing animals. I mean

108
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.879
<v Speaker 2>the fact that the word dog spelled backwards is g

109
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:07.000
<v Speaker 2>O D god.

110
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:09.439
<v Speaker 3>That is all the name.

111
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:13.560
<v Speaker 5>It's all there, It is all there, and anyone who's

112
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:17.319
<v Speaker 5>had dogs, my family, we had a beautiful Cavalier King

113
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:20.720
<v Speaker 5>Charles Spaniel named Charlie who we loved for ten years.

114
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:23.720
<v Speaker 2>My daughter has a dog which is from shelter dog,

115
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:28.120
<v Speaker 2>but an amazing Corgie named Mustard. And my son has

116
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:33.439
<v Speaker 2>a little dog, which is really So we're dog people,

117
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:36.240
<v Speaker 2>and I know that there are cat people and dog people.

118
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:38.519
<v Speaker 2>I've got to assume you're a dog person.

119
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:42.199
<v Speaker 3>I am a big time dog person, and I was

120
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:45.680
<v Speaker 3>my best friend growing up was a Labrador Retriever, So

121
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:48.879
<v Speaker 3>you know, I guess I was hooked from early.

122
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:56.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. They seem to be so smart and they seem

123
00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:02.160
<v Speaker 2>to understand. Have you done stuff with brain waves? I'm

124
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:05.800
<v Speaker 2>just curious what sort of work you've done with them,

125
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.879
<v Speaker 2>because it would seem to me that sometimes, you know,

126
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:10.879
<v Speaker 2>one of the dogs that we have, you know, in

127
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:13.600
<v Speaker 2>our family, I'll look at him and I'm telling you,

128
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.240
<v Speaker 2>they're reading my mind. And I didn't know. People said

129
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:19.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm crazy when I tell you that. But but have

130
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:22.639
<v Speaker 2>they done any stuff with human brain waves dog brain waves?

131
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:24.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm just curious. You're a science guy, you probably are

132
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:28.279
<v Speaker 2>way beyond anything that I could even imagine. But has

133
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:29.839
<v Speaker 2>there been anything done in that area.

134
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:34.279
<v Speaker 3>Well, there's been a lot of fun discoveries that speak

135
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:37.560
<v Speaker 3>to your question, are they reading your mind? And it

136
00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:41.680
<v Speaker 3>feels like they are connecting and loving you in particular.

137
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:46.759
<v Speaker 3>So our original discovery asking the question why are dogs

138
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:50.439
<v Speaker 3>so successful? There's millions of dogs everywhere you find humans,

139
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:53.839
<v Speaker 3>and on all continents they're flourishing. And of course they

140
00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:57.079
<v Speaker 3>evolve from wolves, and sadly there are very few wolves

141
00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:01.959
<v Speaker 3>left genetically, they're very closely really, so what are the

142
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.600
<v Speaker 3>little differences that made the big difference that make dogs

143
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:07.160
<v Speaker 3>so successful? So the genius one of the genius things

144
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:10.800
<v Speaker 3>that allows dogs to be so successful is they're very

145
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:13.360
<v Speaker 3>good at reading our minds in the sense they can

146
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.439
<v Speaker 3>use our gestures when we communicate them through gestures, they

147
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:18.480
<v Speaker 3>can determine and figure out what it is we want

148
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:20.839
<v Speaker 3>and what we don't want, and they do it at

149
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:23.439
<v Speaker 3>the level of an eighteen month old child, which is

150
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:27.720
<v Speaker 3>very unusual for animals. Most animals don't really understand human

151
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:30.240
<v Speaker 3>gestures the way that dogs do. So that's number one

152
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:32.440
<v Speaker 3>is they really do understand us in a way that

153
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:37.440
<v Speaker 3>most other animals cannot. The second thing is it's not

154
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:40.960
<v Speaker 3>specific to brain waves, but it's relative to brain chemistry.

155
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:44.759
<v Speaker 3>So one of the hormones that allows a parent to

156
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:48.399
<v Speaker 3>bond with their offspring is called oxytocin. When a baby's born,

157
00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:51.519
<v Speaker 3>you know, you can't sleep because they don't do much,

158
00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:53.519
<v Speaker 3>and it's very hard to take care of them, and

159
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:55.399
<v Speaker 3>yet you still love them. And one of the reasons

160
00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:59.159
<v Speaker 3>is there's this hormone that floods parents and it's called oxytocin,

161
00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:01.480
<v Speaker 3>and when your baby make eye contact, et cetera, it

162
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:03.039
<v Speaker 3>makes you feel a lot of love for them and

163
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.919
<v Speaker 3>you bond with them even though you're suffering in their

164
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:08.320
<v Speaker 3>early life taking care of them. And it ends up

165
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:11.399
<v Speaker 3>that dogs have figured out a way to hijack that

166
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:17.080
<v Speaker 3>bonding pathway. That hormone oxytocin by making eye contact with us,

167
00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:20.240
<v Speaker 3>when we pet them, when we touch them, it actually

168
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:24.159
<v Speaker 3>releases that same hormone in us and in the dogs,

169
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:27.559
<v Speaker 3>so that we're bonding with our dogs using the same

170
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:30.600
<v Speaker 3>mechanism that we bond with our kids. So it really

171
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:34.080
<v Speaker 3>is that there's chemistry behind the bond and the love.

172
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:39.399
<v Speaker 2>It's amazing. How long have you studied dogs? Has this

173
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:44.799
<v Speaker 2>been a career within your within your discipline.

174
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:49.919
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I started when I was in college. It was

175
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:54.399
<v Speaker 3>a big surprise that dogs had this genius to understand communication.

176
00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:58.200
<v Speaker 3>Every dog lover knows that dogs are good at understanding

177
00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:02.720
<v Speaker 3>us in different ways, but surprise was that other animals

178
00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:05.440
<v Speaker 3>were not good at this, and that dogs were really special.

179
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:07.960
<v Speaker 3>The thing that we just took for granted, it ends

180
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:09.720
<v Speaker 3>up it was a big deal and it made it

181
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:10.960
<v Speaker 3>makes dogs very special.

182
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:16.919
<v Speaker 2>You know something. We do four interviews in this hour,

183
00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:19.639
<v Speaker 2>so our time is relatively short here. But some night

184
00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:21.600
<v Speaker 2>I had left to have you back and take phone

185
00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:24.279
<v Speaker 2>calls from some of my listeners and let them talk about.

186
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:24.879
<v Speaker 3>It'd be super fun.

187
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:25.679
<v Speaker 4>I'd love to do that.

188
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:30.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we will make that happen. I'll have my producer

189
00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:34.120
<v Speaker 2>get in touch with you folks and take some phone calls.

190
00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:36.600
<v Speaker 2>This radio station is short all over the country. It's

191
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:39.080
<v Speaker 2>a fifty thousand watt you know, power of power, as

192
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:40.919
<v Speaker 2>they say. So I have a lot of listeners in

193
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:45.879
<v Speaker 2>North Carolina and South Carolina, Florida and beyond, and I

194
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:49.000
<v Speaker 2>just think this is a universal theme that that is

195
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:51.600
<v Speaker 2>very important in our program, to be honest with you,

196
00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:54.519
<v Speaker 2>And when I saw that you were going to be

197
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:56.639
<v Speaker 2>a guest tonight, I was really excited about it, particularly

198
00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:59.600
<v Speaker 2>the fact that you're at Duke University as well. So again,

199
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.679
<v Speaker 2>thank you, thank you so much for your time tonight,

200
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:06.679
<v Speaker 2>and our our producer will get back to you and

201
00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:09.559
<v Speaker 2>we'll do something which will incorporate some of my listens.

202
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:11.879
<v Speaker 3>That would be super that would be super fun. And

203
00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:16.080
<v Speaker 3>in the meantime, in the meantime, I was just gonna say,

204
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:18.559
<v Speaker 3>we have a if it's okay, we have a book

205
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:23.200
<v Speaker 3>called Puppy Kindergarten, all about how to raise a great dog.

206
00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:26.120
<v Speaker 3>If people are interested in hearing some of the latest discoveries.

207
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm happy that's not in my notes here. And

208
00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:31.840
<v Speaker 2>I got to tell my producer that that should have

209
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.240
<v Speaker 2>been in my notes. Puppy Kindergarten. I assume that's available

210
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:37.679
<v Speaker 2>Amazon and all the regular places.

211
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:39.200
<v Speaker 3>Anywhere books can be purchased.

212
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Yes, sounds great. Professor here Duke University, Thank you very much.

213

<v Speaker 4>on my pleasure.

229
00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Look, what doctors like you and others do is just extraordinary.

230
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:43.320
<v Speaker 2>You not only uh specialize in the treatment, but you

231
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:48.159
<v Speaker 2>I guess I've organized an event called Let's Rock Cancer,

232
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:51.440
<v Speaker 2>a rock and Knight to benefit DA Dana Farber Carver

233
00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:55.679
<v Speaker 2>Institute's Center Care Equity Program. Tell us about the program,

234
00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:57.279
<v Speaker 2>and tell us about the event, and let's say if

235
00:12:57.279 --> 00:12:58.879
<v Speaker 2>we can get you some people walking in the door

236
00:12:58.960 --> 00:12:59.320
<v Speaker 2>that night.

237
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:02.879
<v Speaker 4>Sure, I just want to say so I didn't organize it. Actually,

238
00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:07.799
<v Speaker 4>it's really a survivor himself, Stephen Moore. He last year

239
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:11.399
<v Speaker 4>he went through his own experience and he decided that

240
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:13.679
<v Speaker 4>he wanted to do something to give back, and then

241
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:17.679
<v Speaker 4>he discovered our program, our Cancer Care Equity Program, which

242
00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:19.840
<v Speaker 4>really you know, the job of that program is to

243
00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:24.720
<v Speaker 4>try to connect people to diagnostic services and communities that

244
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:28.240
<v Speaker 4>don't always have access. And really through his own experience,

245
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:31.240
<v Speaker 4>and he decided that he wanted to do this fundraiser

246
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:34.559
<v Speaker 4>last year. So it's really been Stephen Moore, who's a

247
00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:39.000
<v Speaker 4>really fantastic person in Chris Antonoitch and I'm we were

248
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:43.240
<v Speaker 4>just a beneficiary of their experiences and their you know,

249
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:46.200
<v Speaker 4>their their love of rock music, but also wanting to

250
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:47.759
<v Speaker 4>give back to the community.

251
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:51.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's so, so you're involved in obviously at the

252
00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:55.080
<v Speaker 2>Danta for Robert Cancer Institute's Cancer Care Equity Program. Tell

253
00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:57.720
<v Speaker 2>us about that. Then then let's we'll plug the culture.

254
00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:01.600
<v Speaker 4>Okay, sure, yeah, so we you know, I have actually

255
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:03.240
<v Speaker 4>just a you know a little background. I grew up

256
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:06.080
<v Speaker 4>in Springfield, mass And my dad drove a fork truck

257
00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:08.080
<v Speaker 4>for a living, right, so he's a working guy. And

258
00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:12.399
<v Speaker 4>I think when I, uh went into medicine, I thought

259
00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:15.159
<v Speaker 4>about what that was like and the factory guys that

260
00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:18.080
<v Speaker 4>he worked with and you know, what their experience of

261
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:19.879
<v Speaker 4>medicine was. And what we found out is, you know,

262
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:22.840
<v Speaker 4>cancer doesn't care you know where you come from, and

263
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:27.519
<v Speaker 4>impacts all ages, races everyone, and you know, the folks

264
00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:30.240
<v Speaker 4>that have the least amounts sometimes those are the folks

265
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:33.080
<v Speaker 4>with the highest burden. And so I really wanted to

266
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:36.679
<v Speaker 4>dedicate my career to figuring out how we can bring folks,

267
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:39.320
<v Speaker 4>you know, closer to their cancer care. And that's really

268
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:42.600
<v Speaker 4>what the Cancer Care Equity Program is all about. We

269
00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:46.080
<v Speaker 4>go into communities and we try to figure out what

270
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:49.000
<v Speaker 4>the community needs and try to bring them to the

271
00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:51.159
<v Speaker 4>Dana Farber if need be. But you know, if the

272
00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:53.000
<v Speaker 4>patients don't want to come to the Dana Farber, we

273
00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:55.519
<v Speaker 4>still want to help them with their diagnosis. And so

274
00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:59.720
<v Speaker 4>we've done been in communities Roxbury, Dorchester, but also you know,

275
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:03.000
<v Speaker 4>Charlestown and up in the Merrimack Valley, and you know,

276
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:06.639
<v Speaker 4>the goal really is to connect to diagnosis if needed,

277
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:09.600
<v Speaker 4>and try to get folks into that incredible cancer care

278
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:12.600
<v Speaker 4>that I've had the benefit of being a part of,

279
00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:15.039
<v Speaker 4>you know, for my professional career, and bringing that to

280
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:17.840
<v Speaker 4>you know, regular folks. So that's that's really the goal.

281
00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:21.240
<v Speaker 4>We have navigation programs, we set up all kinds of

282
00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:25.120
<v Speaker 4>clinical trial program access programs as well, but it's really

283
00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:27.159
<v Speaker 4>just trying to figure out what the community needs, what

284
00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:30.120
<v Speaker 4>the area needs, and bringing those folks who sometimes don't

285
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:34.279
<v Speaker 4>have the same you know, opportunities into diagnosis as other folks.

286
00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:36.080
<v Speaker 4>So that's really what the goal of what we do.

287
00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:39.080
<v Speaker 2>Well. I was talking to a friend of mine today

288
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:42.120
<v Speaker 2>who's a former long haul truck driver out of South Dakota.

289
00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Known him for many many years, and the last year

290
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:47.960
<v Speaker 2>he went through cancer treatment out in South Dakota, which

291
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:51.200
<v Speaker 2>is not known as you know as Boston or the

292
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Mass General or the Dana Farbud Cancer Institute. But he

293
00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:58.120
<v Speaker 2>called me today to tell me that not only was

294
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:01.600
<v Speaker 2>he told that he was cancer free, but because of

295
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:03.960
<v Speaker 2>the care that he received, they said to him, you

296
00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:07.000
<v Speaker 2>might get a different cancer, but we have knocked this

297
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:10.559
<v Speaker 2>cancer out and you will never get this type of

298
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:13.759
<v Speaker 2>cancer again. And I said to my said, strowing, how

299
00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:15.720
<v Speaker 2>can they guarantee you that? He says, I don't know,

300
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.399
<v Speaker 2>but that's what they told me. So, you know, all

301
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:22.879
<v Speaker 2>of your doctors do this incredible, you know, fabulous work.

302
00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:27.120
<v Speaker 2>And there's no family in America that hasn't been touched

303
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:30.159
<v Speaker 2>and some touched more than than you know, than once

304
00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:35.879
<v Speaker 2>by this horrible, horrible disease. So let's let's talk about

305
00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:38.399
<v Speaker 2>the event. Sounds like a lot of fun, The Let's

306
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:42.879
<v Speaker 2>Rock Cancer Concert. It's going to it's coming up, if

307
00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:45.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm not mistaken in a couple of weeks, December twelfth.

308
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:47.679
<v Speaker 2>Where's it going to be? Can tell us about it?

309
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:50.759
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, So it's going to be at the Crystal Ballroom

310
00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:54.879
<v Speaker 4>in Summerville on Thursday, December twelfth, six to ten pm.

311
00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:57.799
<v Speaker 4>And it's all local live music. So this is one

312
00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:00.120
<v Speaker 4>of the things that Steve Ann and Chris so that

313
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:03.559
<v Speaker 4>you know, they're really interested in not just making sure

314
00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:06.039
<v Speaker 4>that they raise money, but also they really like, you know,

315
00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:08.599
<v Speaker 4>the power of music, and so they wanted to make

316
00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:10.599
<v Speaker 4>sure local bands were there and some of the bands

317
00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:12.960
<v Speaker 4>that came to the event last year, many of those

318
00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:16.359
<v Speaker 4>bands are coming back joining their time and effort for this,

319
00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:18.640
<v Speaker 4>so it was it was a lot of fun, you know.

320
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:21.000
<v Speaker 4>I think for me, I grew up listening to music,

321
00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:23.759
<v Speaker 4>all kinds of music, and rock music in particular, so

322
00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:26.079
<v Speaker 4>it was a it was a it was a double

323
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:28.880
<v Speaker 4>pleasure for me to be there where people who are

324
00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:31.000
<v Speaker 4>like minded wanted to raise money for a good cause,

325
00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:34.160
<v Speaker 4>but also hearing some great music. So it's it's really fantastic.

326
00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:37.839
<v Speaker 4>The events open to all ages. You know, tickets start

327
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:40.079
<v Speaker 4>at twenty five dollars I think, and also you know,

328
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:44.240
<v Speaker 4>tickets are available online, so I think it's www. Crystal Ballroom,

329
00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:48.599
<v Speaker 4>Boston Events Less Rock Cancer, and you know, anybody's welcome it.

330
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:51.000
<v Speaker 4>It was really a good time last last year, and

331
00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:52.079
<v Speaker 4>I'm looking forward.

332
00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:54.920
<v Speaker 2>To it again. And all of this is to benefit

333
00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:59.960
<v Speaker 2>the Dan of Harbor Cancer Institute's Cancer Care Equity Program.

334
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:03.680
<v Speaker 2>How long has the Cancer Care Equity Program been operational?

335
00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:08.519
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so we it's you know, officially, we started it

336
00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:13.359
<v Speaker 4>in twenty ten. We had our first outreach clinic in

337
00:18:13.400 --> 00:18:17.440
<v Speaker 4>twenty twelve, and it really started from filanthropic gifts, you know,

338
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:21.960
<v Speaker 4>It was an idea, some ideas. Someone had asked. They said, hey,

339
00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:23.559
<v Speaker 4>you know, doctor Lathan, if you were going to be

340
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:27.519
<v Speaker 4>able to do one intervention, what would you want to do?

341
00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:30.160
<v Speaker 4>And we thought about it. We called a lot of

342
00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:32.440
<v Speaker 4>different cancer centers and we found the one thing that

343
00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:36.039
<v Speaker 4>everybody was doing great research, everybody was doing great things,

344
00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:38.559
<v Speaker 4>but nobody was really thinking, well, how do we get

345
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:41.319
<v Speaker 4>folks into the cancer center. I know it sounds strange,

346
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:43.279
<v Speaker 4>but a lot of times, you know, people just go

347
00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:45.160
<v Speaker 4>because they hear, oh, it's the Nation General, it's a

348
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:47.240
<v Speaker 4>Dana Farber. But you know, you kind of work, and

349
00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:50.480
<v Speaker 4>folks are busy working, and they sometimes put these things off.

350
00:18:50.519 --> 00:18:53.160
<v Speaker 4>So I said, I wanted to how do we do that?

351
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:55.359
<v Speaker 4>And so we said, we got to go into the communities.

352
00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:56.799
<v Speaker 4>We got to get in there, we got to talk

353
00:18:56.839 --> 00:18:59.000
<v Speaker 4>to folks, we got to be present. And that's really

354
00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:01.799
<v Speaker 4>what we put together. And then we were you know,

355
00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:05.839
<v Speaker 4>folks funded the program as a pilot and we've just

356
00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:09.039
<v Speaker 4>been there ever since, and really it's been fantastic. We've

357
00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:10.880
<v Speaker 4>got we started out with three people and we've got

358
00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:15.680
<v Speaker 4>about twenty different people, navigators, nurses and just folks who

359
00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:18.319
<v Speaker 4>are really just dedicated to taking care of communities. So

360
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:20.519
<v Speaker 4>it's been it's really been the best. It's the work

361
00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:21.920
<v Speaker 4>of my life, is what I would say. It's the

362
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:23.640
<v Speaker 4>most important thing that I've been involved in.

363
00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, it sounds and it sounds like that you are

364
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:29.400
<v Speaker 2>doing it as a as a tribute to your dad.

365
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:30.960
<v Speaker 2>I think you told. I think you said. He was

366
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.880
<v Speaker 2>a forklift operator, so working inside and God knows what

367
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:36.880
<v Speaker 2>fumes he was dealing with and his colleagues were dealing with.

368
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:39.039
<v Speaker 2>So this is a way to fight back in cancer.

369
00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:42.920
<v Speaker 2>And it will be a this it will be a

370
00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:45.240
<v Speaker 2>rock and good night, that's for sure. Let's rock cancer.

371
00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:48.079
<v Speaker 2>I want to give that I get to do. Folks,

378
00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:16.079
<v Speaker 2>a relatively minimal charge twenty five dollars. Okay, most people

379
00:20:16.079 --> 00:20:18.759
<v Speaker 2>can afford that, and that money is going to go

380
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:21.000
<v Speaker 2>to help a lot of people who might not be

381
00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:23.839
<v Speaker 2>aware of the treatments that are available for some of

382
00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:28.079
<v Speaker 2>these horrific diseases. Doctor Lathan, thanks very much. I love

383
00:20:28.119 --> 00:20:32.720
<v Speaker 2>your enthusiasm. You must have tremendous enthusiasm not only in this,

384
00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:35.599
<v Speaker 2>but you also must have tremendous enthusiasm as a as

385
00:20:35.599 --> 00:20:37.880
<v Speaker 2>a physician. Thank you for what you do, and I

386
00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:40.160
<v Speaker 2>mean that honestly, all of us we don't take the

387
00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:43.759
<v Speaker 2>time to thank the medical community as we should for

388
00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:47.720
<v Speaker 2>your dedication to making it a better place for all

389
00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:50.759
<v Speaker 2>of us, and also to helping many of our families

390
00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:56.119
<v Speaker 2>to maintain loved ones for longer than perhaps they would

391
00:20:56.119 --> 00:20:59.119
<v Speaker 2>have been destined to have maintained if it was not

392
00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:01.839
<v Speaker 2>for the work of physics like yourself. So thank you

393
00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:02.759
<v Speaker 2>so much for your time.

394
00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:05.799
<v Speaker 4>Thank you so much for having me on, Dan. I

395
00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:09.319
<v Speaker 4>really appreciate it. That really take care and I really, really,

396
00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:10.680
<v Speaker 4>I really appreciate the time.

397
00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Right back at you have a great night. I won't

398
00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:15.599
<v Speaker 2>be there because it'll be on the air that night,

399
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:18.279
<v Speaker 2>but I'll be there in spirit. Thanks again. All right,

400
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:20.920
<v Speaker 2>thank you, Okay, my pleasure. We have the news now

401
00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:22.519
<v Speaker 2>at the bottom of the hour. When we come out,

402
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:25.279
<v Speaker 2>we're going to talk about I guess we got a

403
00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:28.279
<v Speaker 2>little bit of snow coming into the New England area

404
00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:31.599
<v Speaker 2>around the Thanksgiving holiday, and in terms of where we

405
00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:34.119
<v Speaker 2>were a couple of weeks ago with weather, that's kind

406
00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:36.200
<v Speaker 2>of a stone. And we got Brian Thompson, an ACU

407
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:38.759
<v Speaker 2>weather meteorologist, coming by and we're going to talk about

408
00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:41.680
<v Speaker 2>this weekend and going to talk about the future looks

409
00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:43.759
<v Speaker 2>like the next few days. As we rolled into the

410
00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:48.559
<v Speaker 2>Thanksgiving holiday, it is upon us, ladies and gentlemen. Summer

411
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:51.440
<v Speaker 2>is over, Summer is over, Thanksgiving is here. We'll be

412
00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:55.839
<v Speaker 2>back with my guest, Brian Thompson, great meteorologist, right after

413
00:21:55.920 --> 00:22:05.400
<v Speaker 2>this this newsroom break, Boston's News Radio delighted to be

414
00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:10.000
<v Speaker 2>joined by Brian Thompson at you Weather meteorologist. Brian, Welcome

415
00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:12.920
<v Speaker 2>back Tonight's I thanks for being available. It's been a

416
00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:15.559
<v Speaker 2>few kind of quiet weeks for the weather teams, but

417
00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:17.920
<v Speaker 2>I think it's going to get a little active in

418
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:20.079
<v Speaker 2>the next week or so. What are we looking at.

419
00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:23.279
<v Speaker 1>Bell, Yeah, Dan, things finally starting to turn around a

420
00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:25.960
<v Speaker 1>little bit. We were in that dry pattern, that extended

421
00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:29.079
<v Speaker 1>dry pattern, and we really have built up quite a

422
00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:32.960
<v Speaker 1>rainfall deficit or precipitation deficit over the course of the fall,

423
00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:35.599
<v Speaker 1>and even through now, we're storing about six and a

424
00:22:35.640 --> 00:22:39.920
<v Speaker 1>half inches below the seasonal average in Boston, even with

425
00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:42.319
<v Speaker 1>the almost inch of rain we've had so far, and

426
00:22:42.359 --> 00:22:45.240
<v Speaker 1>we have more coming tonight in suit tomorrow, and it's

427
00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:47.480
<v Speaker 1>it's certainly a stormy or pattern coming up. We're gonna

428
00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:49.880
<v Speaker 1>have another system coming through early next week around Monday

429
00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:53.319
<v Speaker 1>and Tuesday. And we're watching at least the potential for

430
00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:55.799
<v Speaker 1>a storm later next week, not to certainly not edget

431
00:22:55.839 --> 00:22:58.960
<v Speaker 1>in Stone yet, but there's ingredients there potentially for a

432
00:22:58.960 --> 00:23:00.319
<v Speaker 1>storm to develop later next week.

433
00:23:01.079 --> 00:23:05.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that'll be after this quiet weather pattern of about

434
00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:09.920
<v Speaker 2>three months. That will be a nightmare scenario if something

435
00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:14.720
<v Speaker 2>big hits the country, you know, a day before Day

436
00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:19.519
<v Speaker 2>Off or a day after Thanksgiving? Yike? Where is this

437
00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:23.480
<v Speaker 2>one percolating? Is it percolating out in the Rockies or

438
00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:28.160
<v Speaker 2>is it percolating somewhere down down in one of the

439
00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:31.559
<v Speaker 2>Caribbean islands? What are we looking at here? Now?

440
00:23:31.599 --> 00:23:34.000
<v Speaker 1>This one, the the late week storm would be coming

441
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:36.319
<v Speaker 1>out of the Rockies, probably taking a track through the

442
00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee Valley and then off off to the east northeast.

443
00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:41.400
<v Speaker 2>Now, the question is when.

444
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Does that storm develop and how far north does it get,

445
00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:47.680
<v Speaker 1>And there have been obviously this is still almost a

446
00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:50.640
<v Speaker 1>week away, so there's still gonna be some some pretty

447
00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:54.160
<v Speaker 1>significant changes in the track and even whether the storm

448
00:23:54.160 --> 00:23:56.720
<v Speaker 1>completely develops or not. Just looking at one of the

449
00:23:57.119 --> 00:24:00.319
<v Speaker 1>one of the US models, it had a pretty pretty

450
00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:02.680
<v Speaker 1>sizable storm. They came up through the Tennessee Valley and

451
00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:05.480
<v Speaker 1>off the east coast. It would bring some rain, possibly

452
00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:08.799
<v Speaker 1>some snow mixed in to the Boston area. But then

453
00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:11.200
<v Speaker 1>the a round six hours later really had very little

454
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:13.599
<v Speaker 1>and had a storm day later but much farther south,

455
00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:16.400
<v Speaker 1>much more suppressed, much weaker. So there's still some big

456
00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:19.359
<v Speaker 1>changes going on, and probably until we get a couple

457
00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:22.599
<v Speaker 1>of these initial storms through and so we'll have a

458
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:26.400
<v Speaker 1>better idea of where this thing is going. Because the

459
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:29.319
<v Speaker 1>storm that's going through now it's a very complex feature.

460
00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:32.079
<v Speaker 1>We've had a storm just kind of pin wheeling off

461
00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:35.079
<v Speaker 1>off the mid Atlantic coast and kind of made its

462
00:24:35.119 --> 00:24:38.200
<v Speaker 1>way in inland across Pennsylvania, parts of New Jersey, dropped

463
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:40.759
<v Speaker 1>a lot of snow in some areas, and that storms

464
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:44.359
<v Speaker 1>now forming reforming off off the New England coast and

465
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:46.240
<v Speaker 1>that's what's going to bring us the rain into tomorrow.

466
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:50.160
<v Speaker 2>What was I watched one of the nightly newscast today.

467
00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:52.279
<v Speaker 2>I said there was some town in New Jersey. Never

468
00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:54.960
<v Speaker 2>heard of it, high Point, New Jersey. I didn't even

469
00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:57.880
<v Speaker 2>know that New Jersey had any high points, never minded

470
00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Houn Dame high point twenty inches of Oh, that has

471
00:25:01.960 --> 00:25:06.200
<v Speaker 2>to be I don't know I've connected. Does New Jersey

472
00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:10.400
<v Speaker 2>have some mountains like the Polconos in the northwest sections

473
00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:13.599
<v Speaker 2>of the state. I'm familiar with the topography of New Jersey,

474
00:25:13.599 --> 00:25:14.480
<v Speaker 2>and it's pretty flat.

475
00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:18.480
<v Speaker 1>It is most most of the state is very flat.

476
00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:23.839
<v Speaker 1>But like you're mentioning northwest New Jersey, parts of Sussex County,

477
00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:27.119
<v Speaker 1>it just is basically the eastern side of the Poconoes.

478
00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:30.119
<v Speaker 1>It's not as not as tall a mountains as the Poconos,

479
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:32.039
<v Speaker 1>but you you have hills there that are over a

480
00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:35.759
<v Speaker 1>thousand feet And this was a very elevation dependent storm,

481
00:25:35.839 --> 00:25:37.759
<v Speaker 1>so a lot of areas that were over one thy

482
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:42.039
<v Speaker 1>twelve hundred feet throughout northwest New Jersey into northeast Pennsylvania,

483
00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:44.519
<v Speaker 1>even parts of the Hudson Valley of New York. Certainly

484
00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:47.039
<v Speaker 1>across parts of the Catskills too, picked up a lot

485
00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:48.359
<v Speaker 1>of snow. There were a lot of areas that picked

486
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:50.799
<v Speaker 1>up over a foot of snow just because of the way,

487
00:25:50.839 --> 00:25:52.119
<v Speaker 1>like I said, the storm is just kind of pin

488
00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:54.880
<v Speaker 1>wheeling around. It really wasn't moving a whole lot. So

489
00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:58.480
<v Speaker 1>we're seeing these bands of heavier snow get stuck. And

490
00:25:58.680 --> 00:26:00.799
<v Speaker 1>where it was cold enough in the high terrain, the

491
00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:03.319
<v Speaker 1>snow really piled up. Even in some of the lower

492
00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:05.839
<v Speaker 1>terrain of North Jersey, they did pick up at least

493
00:26:05.880 --> 00:26:08.119
<v Speaker 1>some snow. Was not nearly as much as the twenty

494
00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:11.440
<v Speaker 1>inches in High Point, but it wasn't It was a

495
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:14.079
<v Speaker 1>storm that dropped a It was a pretty significant early

496
00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:16.799
<v Speaker 1>season storm for many places that picked up all the snow.

497
00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:19.359
<v Speaker 1>It was the first storm of the season, the first snowfall,

498
00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:20.960
<v Speaker 1>and it came in with a bang.

499
00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:23.839
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So I got to ask you a couple of questions. Now,

500
00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:27.599
<v Speaker 2>the fire problem here in Massachusetts with the drought, that's

501
00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:30.680
<v Speaker 2>all the newscasts the last couple of weeks, Fire here,

502
00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:33.559
<v Speaker 2>fire there, et cetera. Did this did the rain that's

503
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:36.880
<v Speaker 2>fallen so far in the last twenty four hours. Does

504
00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:41.119
<v Speaker 2>has that had an impact in terms of suppressing and

505
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:42.720
<v Speaker 2>calming down the fire situation.

506
00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, in fact, I would I would venture to say

507
00:26:46.920 --> 00:26:48.799
<v Speaker 1>that's probably going to be just about it for the

508
00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:52.160
<v Speaker 1>fire threat this year unless something really Unless it really

509
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:55.440
<v Speaker 1>dries out in December, but as the days get cooler,

510
00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:58.480
<v Speaker 1>we don't get those really warm days that are the

511
00:26:58.559 --> 00:27:01.519
<v Speaker 1>humidity is running really low. That happens in the spring,

512
00:27:01.559 --> 00:27:04.000
<v Speaker 1>and it happens in the fall, and it was exacerbated

513
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:06.079
<v Speaker 1>this fall because of how dry it was. So, like

514
00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:09.400
<v Speaker 1>I said, the rainfall deficit we're running is still very big.

515
00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:13.079
<v Speaker 1>It's still over six inches. But just the fact that

516
00:27:13.119 --> 00:27:15.440
<v Speaker 1>we've had now already over an inch of rain, we

517
00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:17.799
<v Speaker 1>may add another half inch to an inch into tomorrow.

518
00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:20.160
<v Speaker 1>It's going to certainly make the ground a lot wetter.

519
00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:22.200
<v Speaker 1>And like I said, as we get into the stormier

520
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:25.079
<v Speaker 1>pattern this coming week, we're gonna have opportunities for rain

521
00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:27.920
<v Speaker 1>and that should at least keep the brush, the leaves,

522
00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:31.240
<v Speaker 1>things that were fuels for these fires wetter than they

523
00:27:31.240 --> 00:27:34.640
<v Speaker 1>have been in recent weeks, and that should really pretty

524
00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:37.319
<v Speaker 1>much eliminate the fire thread here in the short term.

525
00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:40.000
<v Speaker 2>One of the things that I noticed, and every year

526
00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:43.480
<v Speaker 2>long about April, they'll tell us that the hurricane season

527
00:27:43.559 --> 00:27:45.880
<v Speaker 2>is starting from June first, and it runs I believe

528
00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:49.319
<v Speaker 2>through November thirtieth. Technically we're almost out of the hurricane

529
00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:52.920
<v Speaker 2>season now. But this was a pretty quiet hurricane season

530
00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:56.680
<v Speaker 2>for us here north of Virginia. I mean, I know

531
00:27:56.759 --> 00:27:58.799
<v Speaker 2>that there was the big one, Helene, well, the two

532
00:27:58.799 --> 00:28:02.160
<v Speaker 2>big ones, Helene and Milton, hitting Florida and the Carolinas

533
00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:06.640
<v Speaker 2>and some of the southern states. But we had nothing

534
00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:09.960
<v Speaker 2>this year in New England. How how odd is that?

535
00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:12.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's odd obviously that we had such a

536
00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:15.920
<v Speaker 2>nice weather in October, but the absence of even even

537
00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:18.680
<v Speaker 2>a hint of a hurricane or threat of a hurricane.

538
00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:22.319
<v Speaker 2>Has that happened previously? Or is that? Is this the

539
00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:25.880
<v Speaker 2>first time that has been that arid to use a

540
00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:30.759
<v Speaker 2>word that may have may have application here again at

541
00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:34.200
<v Speaker 2>this time of year, September, October and into November.

542
00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:37.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure it's happened. We've had years that have been

543
00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:41.079
<v Speaker 1>very docile with the hurricanes, even more so than this year.

544
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:43.599
<v Speaker 1>This is this is a fairly active hurricane season in general,

545
00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:45.599
<v Speaker 1>but like you said, certainly for New England it was not.

546
00:28:46.079 --> 00:28:47.680
<v Speaker 2>I will say, given.

547
00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:52.160
<v Speaker 1>That the fact that we had four to five landfalling

548
00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:55.160
<v Speaker 1>storms in the Gulf of Mexico. It is odd that

549
00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:57.640
<v Speaker 1>one of them did not come up here and at

550
00:28:57.759 --> 00:28:59.519
<v Speaker 1>least dump a decent amount of rain. A lot of

551
00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:02.400
<v Speaker 1>times these get pulled northward depending on how the jet

552
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:05.559
<v Speaker 1>streams running, and they'll usually bring at least some rain,

553
00:29:06.079 --> 00:29:10.319
<v Speaker 1>not necessarily direct tropical impact, but it brings the rain northward.

554
00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:12.279
<v Speaker 1>And we really didn't even see much of that this year.

555
00:29:12.519 --> 00:29:15.440
<v Speaker 2>There was very little, very little moisture.

556
00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:17.960
<v Speaker 1>But I think the thing was here, especially as we

557
00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:20.400
<v Speaker 1>got into September and October. One of the reasons we

558
00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:22.839
<v Speaker 1>were so dry. We had this constant parade of high

559
00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:25.200
<v Speaker 1>pressure systems coming down from the northwest. Is bringing down

560
00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:28.720
<v Speaker 1>the dry Canadian air that was keeping us really rain

561
00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:31.319
<v Speaker 1>free and it was helping to deflect a lot of

562
00:29:31.319 --> 00:29:33.839
<v Speaker 1>these storms away. Helene was a good example of that

563
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:36.319
<v Speaker 1>that was getting pulled northward. It kind of got stuck

564
00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:38.640
<v Speaker 1>a little bit down in the Carolinas and just never

565
00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:41.599
<v Speaker 1>could really come northward because of the weather pattern that

566
00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:42.119
<v Speaker 1>was in place.

567
00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:46.119
<v Speaker 2>Okay, last question. I'm going to put your crystal ball

568
00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:50.079
<v Speaker 2>in front of you in view of what it's been like,

569
00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:55.319
<v Speaker 2>and we now have a rainfall or a deficit of

570
00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:59.680
<v Speaker 2>four inches five inches and whatever does that put tend

571
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:03.000
<v Speaker 2>we're going to have a snowy winter or does it

572
00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:06.960
<v Speaker 2>have no impact at all on what the snow accumulation

573
00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:08.319
<v Speaker 2>might or might not be.

574
00:30:09.519 --> 00:30:11.440
<v Speaker 1>I would really say it would have very little impact

575
00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:13.640
<v Speaker 1>on the winter ahead. Like I said, we were in

576
00:30:13.640 --> 00:30:16.359
<v Speaker 1>this pattern where we just had consistent dry air masses,

577
00:30:16.559 --> 00:30:18.759
<v Speaker 1>but it seems like we're starting to slowly come out

578
00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:21.880
<v Speaker 1>of that. Now it's a somewhat stormier pattern and we

579
00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:24.119
<v Speaker 1>expect that trend to continue here as we head into

580
00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:26.799
<v Speaker 1>the winter months, and that should at least lead to

581
00:30:27.319 --> 00:30:31.480
<v Speaker 1>more opportunities for precipitation, not saying it will be necessarily snow,

582
00:30:31.559 --> 00:30:33.279
<v Speaker 1>as we do think that the winter is going to

583
00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:36.000
<v Speaker 1>be on the my older side, which would suggest at

584
00:30:36.079 --> 00:30:38.279
<v Speaker 1>least more storms that would have some mixing or at

585
00:30:38.319 --> 00:30:41.799
<v Speaker 1>least the potential for some rain instead of snow. But again,

586
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:44.480
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't look like we'll get into quite the dry

587
00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:46.480
<v Speaker 1>pattern we've been in. We do expect it to pick

588
00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:48.799
<v Speaker 1>up a little bit as far as precipitation goes.

589
00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:52.720
<v Speaker 2>I really do appreciate all your time tonight. Brian Thompson,

590
00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:58.920
<v Speaker 2>AKI weather meteorologist, A great job, answered all of my questions.

591
00:30:58.960 --> 00:31:01.759
<v Speaker 2>You made me feel a little bit better about what's

592
00:31:01.799 --> 00:31:05.440
<v Speaker 2>going on here, and maybe we'll all survive this and

593
00:31:05.519 --> 00:31:08.079
<v Speaker 2>be talking about this in the past ten sometime around

594
00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:11.319
<v Speaker 2>January February, when we're talking about some blizzard that has

595
00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:13.799
<v Speaker 2>swept in here. Thanks so much, Brian, I appreciate it

596
00:31:13.920 --> 00:31:16.559
<v Speaker 2>very much. Good to be with you, Dan, Hey, have

597
00:31:16.599 --> 00:31:19.279
<v Speaker 2>a great weekend and a great Thanksgiving to you and yours. Okay,

598
00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:23.400
<v Speaker 2>thanks so much too. All Right, we get back. We're

599
00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:27.519
<v Speaker 2>going to talk about a resort, different type of resort

600
00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:31.519
<v Speaker 2>up in northern New England. We'll explain it all right

601
00:31:31.559 --> 00:31:35.680
<v Speaker 2>after this final break here on the night Side News

602
00:31:35.839 --> 00:31:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Update Hour. Now back to Dan Ray live from the

603
00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:46.680
<v Speaker 2>Window World Nightside Studios on WBZ News Radio. All right,

604
00:31:46.759 --> 00:31:49.839
<v Speaker 2>welcome back. As we wrap up our hour, we're going

605
00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:53.160
<v Speaker 2>to talk with Michael Snaide. He's the president of Resort

606
00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:57.359
<v Speaker 2>Residential for Great Golf. Michael, I've never heard of Resort

607
00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Residential for Great Golf, but apparently you guys have a

608
00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:04.319
<v Speaker 2>project going on up at Killington. Tell us about it.

609
00:32:05.720 --> 00:32:08.440
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, we do. We're pretty excited to be part of

610
00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:14.599
<v Speaker 6>the growth of Killington. As you may know, Killington is

611
00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:18.880
<v Speaker 6>the largest ski mountain in the East, and yet it

612
00:32:18.960 --> 00:32:24.839
<v Speaker 6>doesn't have a base village, and so Great Gulf acquired

613
00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:31.599
<v Speaker 6>the property in May of twenty twenty three to develop

614
00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:34.880
<v Speaker 6>what will become over the next twenty twenty five years

615
00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:41.559
<v Speaker 6>two three hundred new units, both at the base and

616
00:32:42.759 --> 00:32:45.240
<v Speaker 6>up up the mountain to the mid station.

617
00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:48.279
<v Speaker 2>So is this going to be like the villages of

618
00:32:48.319 --> 00:32:50.880
<v Speaker 2>the North? I mean, when we think about villages, we

619
00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:55.039
<v Speaker 2>think about the villages down in central Florida which just

620
00:32:55.160 --> 00:32:59.480
<v Speaker 2>keeps expanding and expanding. Is this for year round?

621
00:32:59.880 --> 00:32:59.920
<v Speaker 4>It?

622
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Is it residential year round? Is it? Is it seasonal?

623
00:33:04.759 --> 00:33:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Tell us about it?

624
00:33:06.799 --> 00:33:11.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, sure our vision. Of course, many ski resorts appeal

625
00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:16.400
<v Speaker 6>to people for the winter season, the winter ski season,

626
00:33:16.960 --> 00:33:21.119
<v Speaker 6>but Killington's been doing a very good job of also

627
00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:26.200
<v Speaker 6>appealing to people to come and take part in their

628
00:33:26.279 --> 00:33:33.720
<v Speaker 6>mountain biking and hiking and leaf watching during the fall season.

629
00:33:34.279 --> 00:33:38.519
<v Speaker 6>And so Killington is becoming a place to be all

630
00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:43.359
<v Speaker 6>all months of the year. And so our concept is

631
00:33:43.400 --> 00:33:47.400
<v Speaker 6>to provide a resort village or resort community that takes

632
00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:51.640
<v Speaker 6>advantage of every month of the year and that provides amenities,

633
00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:56.160
<v Speaker 6>programs and events that will will focus on those on

634
00:33:56.240 --> 00:34:00.960
<v Speaker 6>those seasonal activities and rather than I know, the village

635
00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:04.519
<v Speaker 6>is very well down in Florida. It's quite an amazing development.

636
00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:09.000
<v Speaker 6>I developed a place right next door a little higher end.

637
00:34:09.599 --> 00:34:14.199
<v Speaker 6>I would think that the villages down in Florida just

638
00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:18.119
<v Speaker 6>keeps growing, whereas ours is limited to twenty three hundred

639
00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:19.400
<v Speaker 6>residential units.

640
00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:24.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's only it's a lot of flatter in central Florida.

641
00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:29.039
<v Speaker 2>It's a pretty impressive website. When give us a little

642
00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:32.599
<v Speaker 2>scheduled construction schedule, I'm sure you probably have it written

643
00:34:32.599 --> 00:34:35.320
<v Speaker 2>on the back of your hand or indeubibly eched in

644
00:34:35.360 --> 00:34:38.440
<v Speaker 2>your mind. Where's the project at this point and give

645
00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:39.440
<v Speaker 2>us a timeline.

646
00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:46.239
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, so we're really looking for hopefully, of course, dependent

647
00:34:46.320 --> 00:34:49.320
<v Speaker 6>on the market, we're looking to it about this time

648
00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:56.159
<v Speaker 6>next year, commence our selling program and then that with

649
00:34:56.320 --> 00:34:59.840
<v Speaker 6>the proper approvals in place and being able to move

650
00:34:59.840 --> 00:35:03.159
<v Speaker 6>in at we would like to start construction in the

651
00:35:03.199 --> 00:35:07.280
<v Speaker 6>spring of twenty and twenty six, and then the first

652
00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:10.599
<v Speaker 6>units would be complete within eighteen months to twenty four

653
00:35:10.599 --> 00:35:14.719
<v Speaker 6>months after that, so you know, in time for ski

654
00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:19.639
<v Speaker 6>season twenty twenty seven into twenty twenty eight.

655
00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:25.320
<v Speaker 2>So this is literally we're we're at the beginning here,

656
00:35:26.079 --> 00:35:30.280
<v Speaker 2>and if people want to learn more about it, give

657
00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:32.679
<v Speaker 2>us the website. It's a pretty simple website.

658
00:35:32.760 --> 00:35:38.199
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it's Livekillington dot go ahead. Oh I'm sorry, it's

659
00:35:38.280 --> 00:35:43.400
<v Speaker 6>Livekillington dot com. And then I also encourage anybody to

660
00:35:43.480 --> 00:35:48.000
<v Speaker 6>go on the Killington Resort website and we've got a

661
00:35:48.039 --> 00:35:53.199
<v Speaker 6>link there to our website as well. Killington Resort is

662
00:35:53.239 --> 00:35:57.039
<v Speaker 6>an exciting place to be. This weekend or next week

663
00:35:57.199 --> 00:36:00.400
<v Speaker 6>just after Thanksgiving, they're going to be hosting the World

664
00:36:00.519 --> 00:36:04.360
<v Speaker 6>Cup Killington World Cup and Great Golf will be a

665

<v Speaker 6>within the vendor village and also a major presence within

668
00:36:19.119 --> 00:36:22.800
<v Speaker 6>the VIP tent. So I encourage all of your listeners

669
00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:25.639
<v Speaker 6>to take the trip up to Killington, meet us up

670
00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:29.719
<v Speaker 6>there and support the US ski team. Wouldn't it be

671
00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:33.119
<v Speaker 6>great to watch Mikaela Shiffern win her one hundredth World

672
00:36:33.199 --> 00:36:38.159
<v Speaker 6>Cup event and hopefully watch Paula Molten achieve another top

673
00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:38.800
<v Speaker 6>ten years old?

674
00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:43.960
<v Speaker 2>All right, well, we appreciate it very much. It's always

675
00:36:44.039 --> 00:36:46.920
<v Speaker 2>nice to talk to you. Are you a Matt, Are

676
00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:49.440
<v Speaker 2>you a New England guy yourself. I do not detect

677
00:36:49.519 --> 00:36:52.639
<v Speaker 2>any sort of a local accent. I'm always curious when

678
00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:55.360
<v Speaker 2>I talk to folks who are undertaking such big projects.

679
00:36:55.400 --> 00:36:57.559
<v Speaker 2>I assume you must have some connections to New England.

680
00:36:59.639 --> 00:37:04.280
<v Speaker 6>Well, I've been coming to New England for probably forty years,

681
00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:07.559
<v Speaker 6>so I feel like a New Englander. But I'm actually

682
00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:11.039
<v Speaker 6>based in Toronto, Canada. So A Great Golf is a

683
00:37:11.119 --> 00:37:15.159
<v Speaker 6>Toronto firm. It was established in nineteen seventy five by

684
00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:19.440
<v Speaker 6>two brothers, Elliot Norman Riseman, and today the company is

685
00:37:19.480 --> 00:37:24.320
<v Speaker 6>one of North America's premier real estate organizations. We develop

686
00:37:24.440 --> 00:37:26.039
<v Speaker 6>all over North America.

687
00:37:26.800 --> 00:37:29.639
<v Speaker 2>As Michael, as soon as I heard you pronounced organization,

688
00:37:30.199 --> 00:37:32.159
<v Speaker 2>if you had said that earlier, I would have known

689
00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:37.239
<v Speaker 2>it's a Canadian pronunciation. We say organization. But I'm sure

690
00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:37.920
<v Speaker 2>you know that.

691
00:37:38.280 --> 00:37:41.440
<v Speaker 6>I know I've got to study. I've got to do

692
00:37:41.559 --> 00:37:46.239
<v Speaker 6>some studying of linguistics become more of a New Englander.

693
00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:50.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm only teasing you. I'm teasing you. And yeah, I

694
00:37:50.079 --> 00:37:53.840
<v Speaker 2>have friends of mine who even live up in a

695
00:37:53.960 --> 00:37:57.480
<v Speaker 2>northern New York state and they'll say organization, and I'll say,

696
00:37:57.519 --> 00:37:59.360
<v Speaker 2>what part of Canada. We live up you know, we

697
00:37:59.400 --> 00:38:02.880
<v Speaker 2>live up in Lake Placid. We don't, but it's that

698
00:38:03.239 --> 00:38:06.559
<v Speaker 2>Harry Sindon, the great former general manager of the Boston

699
00:38:06.599 --> 00:38:09.639
<v Speaker 2>Bruins and coach as well as general manager. Harry used

700
00:38:09.639 --> 00:38:12.000
<v Speaker 2>to always say organization and I'd kid him with it.

701
00:38:12.079 --> 00:38:15.920
<v Speaker 2>I say, you're you're showing your Canadian roots here. Great,

702
00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:18.159
<v Speaker 2>great to talk with to Michael, you're good sport. Thank

703
00:38:18.159 --> 00:38:21.199
<v Speaker 2>you very much. It is he's the president. You're welcome,

704
00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:24.440
<v Speaker 2>residential of Great Golf. Thank you, my friend. We'll talk soon. Okay,

705
00:38:24.480 --> 00:38:26.519
<v Speaker 2>best A'll like we'll talk again. Thank you very much.

706
00:38:27.079 --> 00:38:32.519
<v Speaker 2>Bye bye. All right, that's always fun. All right, we

707
00:38:32.519 --> 00:38:36.760
<v Speaker 2>will move on and we're going to talk very seriously

708
00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:39.880
<v Speaker 2>in the next hour. In what we're going to talk

709
00:38:39.880 --> 00:38:42.920
<v Speaker 2>about in the next hour is what happened sixty one

710
00:38:43.000 --> 00:38:46.519
<v Speaker 2>years ago today, a moment in time that rocked the world.

711
00:38:46.679 --> 00:38:49.559
<v Speaker 2>If you were alive back then and maybe over ten

712
00:38:49.639 --> 00:38:52.400
<v Speaker 2>years of age, I do not have to remind you

713
00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:55.519
<v Speaker 2>what today is the sixty first anniversary off. If you

714
00:38:55.800 --> 00:38:59.159
<v Speaker 2>were not alive back then, or were born, say early

715
00:38:59.360 --> 00:39:03.000
<v Speaker 2>in the late fifties or in the early sixties, you

716
00:39:03.079 --> 00:39:04.960
<v Speaker 2>might not know. So with that sort of a tease.

717
00:39:05.039 --> 00:39:06.800
<v Speaker 2>We'll come back and we're going to talk to someone

718
00:39:06.800 --> 00:39:11.239
<v Speaker 2>who has studied this American tragedy for many years, and

719
00:39:11.280 --> 00:39:13.840
<v Speaker 2>we're going to talk about the possibility that soon we

720
00:39:13.880 --> 00:39:16.800
<v Speaker 2>all might learn a lot more about this anniversary
