Rob Kessler - R. Kessler & Associates

- Rob is a local developer working on "Trailside" and he has kind of hit a snag. He is trying to build a 9 lot subdivision. Up to this point he's been very cooperative with the town but they want him to do a water study that has nothing to do with his property. The town won't accept the road that connects the two dead end streets going through the subdivision.

- The biggest issue here is the water run-off. Rob gives his input into what would help solve the issue. They want Rob to do the study and the work. There is a Culvert Pipe needed.

- There are a lot of tax benefits to having these subdivisions and that is why he's frustrated and curious as to why they are holding this project up.

7:50-8:00:

- Ryan calls up to make a counter-point about the Rayhill Trail and it's been leveled so the view won't be the same for the trail. Ryan claims that he destroyed it.

- Now to the big announcement! It's the 10th annual Teddy Bear Toss for the Toy Drive and to see the growth from 600 Teddy Bears to 4,200! There have been some crazy stories each year, but it's always a huge success. Each player for Utica College wants to be the one to make the goal to trigger the toss. The crowd has a big part, and even the Teddy Bear Toss, has influenced people to come to the school.

- This year the Teddy Bear Toss will be on a Friday instead of a usual Saturday game. It's going to be December 5th!

Dr. Fab Mancini - Healthy Living Expert and Author

- Dr. Mancini talks about how Americans snack different than other countries and that Americans are very busy and so whatever is hanging around the office and the house and no time to plan the meals.
