Return to Story IndexI THE EXPRESS
THE NEW MOVIE, THE EXPRESS, HAS SOME MOVIE GOERS SAYING, IT'S JUST HOLLYWOOD'S WAY OF MAKING WEST VIRGINIANS LOOK LIKE RACISTS. (NATS OF KICKOFF IN THE MOVIE) 51:13 "THEY THINK OF US AS HILLYBILLYS, THIS MAKES IT WORSE." THE MOVIE "THE EXPRESS", IS SAID TO BE BASED ON THE TRUE STORY, OF THE FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN TO WIN THE HEISMAN....ERNIE DAVIS. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS MOVIE FOR MANY WEST VIRGINIANS LIES NOT IN IT'S PORTRAYL OF A GREAT MAN AND A GREAT FOOTBALL PLAYER...BUT IN IT'S ACCURACY WHEN IT COMES TO A GAME BETWEEN SYRACUSE AND WVU. 56:53 "ALOT OF THE ACTION NEVER HAPPENED." HAROLD NAWMAN SAYS HE REFUSES TO WATCH THE MOVIE BECAUSE OF ITS FALSEHOODS. THE MOVIE IS BASED IN 1959.....A YEAR WVU AND SYRACUSE DIDN'T EVEN PLAY EACH OTHER. THE MOVIE ALSO SHOWS WVU FANS THROWING THINGS AND CURSING AT DAVIS.......ALSO THINGS THAT WERE MADE UP. GM 8:01 "THAT NEVER HAPPENED, IF THE TEAMMATES SAY THAT NEVER HAPPENED WITH ERNIE DAVIS." ENRAGED BY THE DEPICTION OF WVU FANS, GOVERNOR MANCHIN SENT THE MOVIES PRODUCERS A LETTER. 8:14 "YOU OUGHT TO RELABLE THAT MOVIE A MOVIE OF FICTION ITS SURE NOT A MOVIE OF FACT." 8:19 "EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE ABOUT WV HAS BEEN MADE UP." 51:11 "THEY SAID WE WERE RACIAL AND THROWING POPCORN." THE PANTHER FOOTBALL TEAM FROM DANVILLE SAW THE MOVIE AND SAY OTHER THAN THE WVU SCENE.... THEY LIKED IT AND ENJOYED LEARNING MORE ABOUT A MAN THEY LOOK UP TO. 50:55 "ERNIE DAVIS WAS REALLY FAST, THE BEST FOOTBALL PLAYER I'VE EVER SEEN." A GOOD MOVIE MAYBE...BUT PEOPLE LIKE NAWMAN SAY IT'S STILL UNACCEPTBALE. 57:22 "IM SURPRISED THEY EVEN SHOWED IT IN THIS STATE." WVU AND SYRACUSE DID END UP PLAYING ONE ANOTHER IN 1960........BUT NO REPORTS OF ANY RACISM AGAINST DAVIS WERE MADE IN THAT GAME.

Return to Story IndexAMERICA'S ELECTION
RECENTLY MCCAIN ASKED A SUPPORTER AT A RALLY TO BE MORE RESPECTFUL WHEN TALKING ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE. HE'S ALSO RESPONDING TO REMARKS MADE BY CONGRESSMAN JOHN LEWIS. SHIVELY ON CAM INTRO: "JOHN MCCAIN IS CALLING ON BARACK OBAMA TO REPUDIATE WHAT HE CALLS OUTRAGEOUS AND DIVISIVE COMMENTS..." ... MADE BY OBAMA SUPPORTER AND CONGRESSMAN JOHN LEWIS. LEWIS IS A DEMOCRAT FROM GEORGIA AND A CIVIL RIGHTS ICON. HE COMPARED THE ATMOSPHERE AT REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN EVENTS TO THOSE OF SEGREGATIONIST FORMER GOVERNOR OF ALABAMA, GEORGE WALLACE. LEWIS ALSO SAID, QUOTE, "SENATOR MCCAIN AND GOVERNOR PALIN ARE SOWING THE SEEDS OF HATRED AND DIVISION, AND THERE IS NO NEED FOR THIS HOSTILITY IN OUR POLITICAL DISCOURSE." MCCAIN FIRED BACK WITH THIS STATEMENT WITHIN THE LAST HOUR: "CONGRESSMAN JOHN LEWIS' COMMENTS REPRESENT A CHARACTER ATTACK AGAINST GOVERNOR SARAH PALIN AND ME THAT IS SHOCKING AND BEYOND THE PALE. THE NOTION THAT LEGITIMATE CRITICISM OF SENATOR OBAMA'S RECORD AND POSITIONS COULD BE COMPARED TO GOVERNOR GEORGE WALLACE, HIS SEGREGATIONIST POLICIES AND THE VIOLENCE HE PROVOKED IS UNACCEPTABLE AND HAS NO PLACE IN THIS CAMPAIGN." LEWIS'S STATEMENT ABOUT THE "ATMOSPHERE" APPARENTLY REFERS TO RECENT COMMENTS COMING FROM A FEW PEOPLE AT SOME OF MCCAIN'S RALLIES... AND THE HARSH THINGS THEY'VE SAID ABOUT OBAMA. YESTERDAY, MCCAIN ACTUALLY GOT BOOED WHEN HE CALLED OBAMA A "DECENT PERSON." HE TOLD ONE CROWD, QUOTE, "I DON'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO REDUCE YOUR FEROCITY, I JUST MEAN YOU HAVE TO BE RESPECTFUL." SHIVELY ON CAM TAG: "IN HIS WRITTEN STATEMENT TODAY, MCCAIN SAID LEWIS'S COMMENTS ARE "CLEARLY DESIGNED TO SHUT DOWN DEBATE 24 DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTION." IN WASHINGTON D-C CAROLINE SHIVELY, FOX NEWS."

Return to Story IndexIS MSG SAFE?
BUT DID YOU KNOW THERE'S A BATTLE GOING ON FOR WHAT KIND OF BROTH YOU DECIDE TO LADLE UP? IT HAS TO DO WITH THREE LITTLE LETTERS. WHEN IT COMES TO SOUP... THINGS ARE REALLY STARTING TO BOIL. THE COUNTRY'S TWO MOST POPULAR BRANDS... CAMPBELLS AND PROGRESSO.. ARE PUBLICLY BICKERING OVER THEIR RECIPES. THIS AD IS PART OF WHAT STARTED IT. IN IT, CAMPBELL'S BOASTS THAT IT'S MADE ONLY WITH TLC, OR TENDER LOVING CARE... WHILE PROGRESSO IS MADE WITH MSG. MSG.. OR MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE.. IS A FLAVOR ENHANCER. AND THERE'S DEBATE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT IT CAUSES A REACTION. DENO says: "the glucose is what gives it that savory flavor." SUSAN DENO... IS A DIETITIAN AT PARK NICOLLET. SHE SAYS THE FDA HAS BEEN STUDYING MSG SINCE THE 1950S. AND THERE'S NO SCIENTIFIC LINK TO MSG AND ANY OTHER SYMPTOMS. DENO says: "it's healthy, it's considered safe and it's okay to use. but there's people who have sensitivities to it and that's why manufacturers are taking it out of there." GOLDEN VALLEY-BASED GENERAL MILLS IS THE LATEST. IT ANNOUNCED THIS WEEK IT'S REMOVING MSG FROM ALL IT'S CANNED SOUPS. AND CAMPBELL'S POINTS OUT MOST OF ITS SOUPS CONTAIN LESS THAN 2% OF THE INGREDIENT. BUT ALL OF THIS MIGHT BE ABOUT MARKETING JUST AS MUCH AS IT IS ABOUT SAFETY. BECAUSE WHILE MSG MIGHT BE SAFE, ITS CERTAINLY NOT POPULAR RIGHT NOW. DENO says: "Food manufacturers are responding to their costumer base and saying, You know what, we can do this without that. Well take that out. I think their challenge though is how are they going to keep the flavor in there."

Return to Story IndexTREE STAND SAFETY
BUT AS PATRICK MCMURTRY REPORTS IN THIS WEEK'S WEST VIRGINIA WILDLIFE, DON'T FORGET TO CHECK OUT YOUR TREE STAND, TOO. NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF DEER HUNTING YOU DO, CHANCES ARE IT INVOLVES SOME KIND OF TREE STAND. AND IF YOU'RE CLIMBING 10-15 FEET UP IN THE AIR, YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. THE FIRST STEP IS PICKING OUT A TREE STAND. 3:05(TIGHTEN THIS UP! Glen Jones says: "This is designed for climbing the tree without having a ladder and steps. It is a two piece stand, yo've got your food piece here and your climber here. You've got foot straps here that you put your feet in, you've got your feet hooked to it now, now you're ready to pick this part up as you sit on this piece." THAT'S THE KIND OF STAND I HAVE AND IT'S PERFECT FOR ME. A LOT OF YOU WILL BE RELYING ON HOME MADE STANDS, BUT GLEN SAYS THAT'S NOT THE BEST OPTION BECAUSE THEY JUST DON'T LAST. 5:09-28Glen Jones says: "Two years at the very best. Why does is only last two years? What happens to trees every year? They grow. The things you build in a tree don't fit like they did when you built it. Another problem with hand made stands-frost, rot, they get slick and they're harder to say in." THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM WITH THIS BIG GUY. THIS IS A LADDER STAND AND GLEN STANDS BY IT. 5:52-10Glen Jones says: "This is the stand the West Virginia Hunter's Association recommends. It is probably the safest, best stand around. It hooks to the tree, it straps solidly to the tre, it's re-inforced here to hold it to the tree." 17:28-37Patrick McMurtry/Eyewitness News says: "These stands are amoung the most popular, you also have the ladder stand, but the one thing you abosolutely have to have, a good safety harness. You don't want to get in an accident and get on the wrong side of that." IF YOUR STAND DOESN'T COME WITH A GOOD HARNESS, GLEN SAYS YOU NEED TO SPEND A FEW BUCKS AND GET ONE OF THESE. AND WHEN YOU GET ONE, USE IT. A GOOD HARNESS COMBINED WITH A SOLID, PROPERLY ERECTED TREE STAND WILL GO A LONG WAY TO ENSURE YOU DON'T BECOME A HUNTING STATISTIC YOURSELF. FOR WEST VIRGINIA WILDLIFE ALONG WITH PHOTOJOURNALIST BRAD RICE, I'M PATRICK MCMURTRY, EYEWITNESS NEWS.
