RADON: Second leading cause of lung cancer

You often hear me talk about our partnership with True Air Technologies and the valuable service they provide. As an odorless and invisible gas, radon is virtually undetectable in homes. This is a major concern, as long-term exposure to this harmful pollutant can cause cancer as well as other upper respiratory issues. The EPA says Radon is the Number#1 cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. That is why True Air Technologies offers reliable radon testing and mitigation solutions that are sure to rid your home of this toxic gas and keep your family safe for years to come. It’s very affordable and you don’t even notice the testing equipment in your home for the couple of days it’s there. Are you unsure of whether your home has dangerous levels of radon? Schedule a radon mitigation cost estimate today with True Air Technologies…they proudly serve homeowners in the Carolinas.  Merritt Gantt, President/CEO of True Air Technologies, joined me for a few minutes to talk about the importance of having your home tested.

Claim Your Cash!!!

Are you a little short on cash this month?  Maybe you should consider seeing if State Treasurer Curtis Loftis has some of your money he’s wanting to return to you!! According to SC’s Treasurer,  millions of dollars are transferred to the Unclaimed Property Program each year by companies that cannot locate the owners. Individuals, estates, businesses and even churches and charities can have unclaimed property. It only takes a minute to find out if the state is  holding some of your money for you.  We had some fun on The Morning Answer recently when Mr. Loftis called to explain how easy it is to search for your cash and then file a claim with his office.  Presently, the Treasurer’s office is sitting on about $650 million he needs to find an owner for. It could be yours!!!  Take a minute to listen and then go online to start your search!!

Is Your Family Prepared for an Emergency?

On Thursday, September 12th, I had the opportunity to broadcast my morning radio show from atop Paris Mountain where 94-5 WGTK’s tower is located.  Our radio station is a partner with FEMA as one of their PEP stations.  What is a PEP station?…… PEP stations are privately owned commercial and non-commercial radio broadcast stations that cooperatively participate with FEMA to provide emergency alert and warning information to the public before, during and after a national or local emergency.

PEP stations are located throughout the country  and have a direct connection to FEMA and  serve as the primary broadcast source for Presidential National Public Warning System (NPWS) messages.

PEP stations network to other broadcast stations in order to disseminate messages throughout the country and state and local public safety officials can leverage EAS and FEMA PEP stations when they are not in use for National EAS warning messages.

What does all this mean?…in a nutshell…if we were to have a natural disaster, like a hurricane as witnessed  last week with Dorian….or some type of national emergency or terror attack and not be able to continue to broadcast from our normal radio station studios I could make my way up to the top of Paris Mountain….activate the FEMA provided equipment  on the mountain…and stay on the air for 30-45 days.

We have broadcast equipment….we have generators….a large supply of diesel fuel for the generators….and food…..(not very appetizing looking in a box!!!)  We had a number of guests throughout the morning who talked about how to respond in an emergency.  Take some time to listen to the various state and local officials and be sure you are prepared to respond.  Also, be sure to download the South Carolina Emergency Response CHECKLIST to be sure you have what your family would need in the event of an emergency.

Mark Sanford at Faith and Freedom BBQ

Former Governor and Rep. Mark Sanford was in Anderson at Congressman Jeff Duncan’s Faith and Freedom BBQ gauging the interest in his bid to challenge President Donald Trump in the 2020 Presidential election.  Sanford stopped by for a quick visit to explain why he is considering a bid for the White House.[podcast src=”https://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/11036942/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/5474d5/” height=”90″ width=”100%” placement=”bottom” theme=”custom”]
