- We talk about the story of the two Central Valley Superintendent candidates who have controversial pasts. Read More: http://wibx950.com/controversial-past-for-both-central-valley-super-candidates/.
- Also, how safe is artificial turf? Apparently there are goal keepers that are being diagnosed with cancer and studies show that it could be linked to the rubber that is used on turf fields.
6:20-6:30:
- We continue talking about the NBC Report regarding the soccer players that are being diagnosed with cancer and the majority are goalies. Read More: http://www.nbcnews.com/news/investigations/how-safe-artificial-turf-your-child-plays-n220166.

6:40-6:50:
- This week Bill is going to make homemade Pierogi. There is a new Plate Night up on our website. It's Susan's Cooking School and they teach you how to make pierogi.
- Phil Robertson is the Duck Dynasty guy and he was preaching at his church recently and was talking about the fact fact that you will not get STDs if you marry and only sleep with your partner.
- DeSean Curry is a black foster child whose foster parents are white and the police believed he was a burglar and sprayed him with pepper spray in his own home! A neighbor thought the young man was the intruder.
Andrew keeps disappearing during the breaks. Jeff and Keeler are manning the phones when he leaves.
Ray Stagich - The Weather Channel
- We talk to Ray about cloud behavior and we get the forecast for the rest of the week and into the weekend. We have a chance to reach temperature into the 70s next week.
6:50-7:00:
- Animal rights groups are very upset about a dog that was euthanized because its owner had Ebola. Medical experts believe that dogs can spread the disease because other animals can as well.
Joe Marino - Utica Councilman
- Before we get to Joe we talk about our weight loss challenge and things get a little heated! More votes come in. You have till tomorrow to get your votes in for the $500 Weight Loss Challenge.
- Now to Joe: We talk to Joe about the Master Plan Committee in Utica and how it's progressing.
- We bring Mayor Joe Fusco into the conversation and bring up the idea of a thruway exit for Rome. He concedes that it isn't really a problem to get on the thruway from Rome or to get to Rome from the Thruway.
7:40-7:50:
- We address the issue of the signs that read "Don't Listen to Keeler in the Morning" and we have turned this negative into a positive. We say Don't Listen to Keeler in the Morning unless you want to win Cash! Starting Monday you can win $100 twice a morning with our Free Money Question of the Day!
7:50-8:00:
- We replay the "Price is Right" contestant who guessed $7,000 for a hammock.
- We have bad news about "Hope." Remember Ted Williams, the homeless guy with the Golden Pipes, he is broke now, but it's probably because he's working in radio. He blames a lot of that on Management.
