Cabell County

Then the next day, I'm going to Bell Elementary in Bell, Kanawha County.

Then I'm going into Cabell County, Milton Elementary the next day.

That's Tuesday.

Good

This is The Tom Roten Show.

An independent write-in candidate for Cabell County Commission on today's episode.

Hi, everybody.

I am the straight shooter, Tom Roten.

And you can find every episode on my website, tomrotenshow.com.

I share every episode on my social media pages.

Follow me on Facebook, LinkedIn, and X. Luke Smith is running as a write-in candidate for Cabell County Commission, and you'll hear from him today.

He was originally on the Tom Roten Morning Show on The Eagle Total Media radio stations in Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia, where he's running in Cabell County.

I know their record's, uh, just a, they're a little down, but Parkersburg's always been one of those prideful, they love football, it's, it's a, it's a Friday night tradition, the community, all about Parkersburg.

I can't imagine a Parkersburg team just going down easy to Cabell Midland today, you know? What, what chance do they have, if any, to maybe make this competitive or sneak out of Cabell County with a win?

I feel like it's gonna have to dominate time of possession.

Um, and I mean, this could be the basic football fact for any team to try to escape a win, especially when you're an underdog going in, um, to a place like Cabell Midland, obviously Parkersburg having to travel tonight, um, to go to the Castle.

But, um, he said, "You, you ought to try to get into the race then." And, um, I said, "Well, I wonder how I do that." He goes, "Well," he said, "I'd call the executive board." So I, um, called Holly, um, Francis, who's the, um, president or chairman of the Wayne County Executive Board, and told her I was interested, and she goes, "Okay." And then we, we talked about it, and then I went to one of their meetings and gave them a, you know, my background and said I'd, I'd like to run.

So since that district is part of Cabell County, they had to have a, um, committee of members from Cabell County and Wayne County to get together.

And, um, I was nominated, and I was voted on and was selected.

Mm-hmm.

But-

Okay.

So yeah, definitely goes into, uh, Cabell County.

Um-

A man has been arrested and is in custody for allegedly leading police on a three-county chase.

Authorities say that chase started in Cabell County on Sunday, then went through Putnam and Kanawha Counties before a crash at the Interstate 64 Dunbar exit.

In the 580 WCHS Radio newsroom, I'm Jack Carlson.

[gentle music] If you've been injured, you deserve a lawyer who knows West Virginia, not just one who advertises here.

After Luke left Mormonism, he basically had to reinvent himself.

After his break with Joseph Smith and the church in 1837, 1838, he moved to Cabell County, Virginia, I hope I'm pronouncing that right, today part of West Virginia, and spent about a year teaching school.

Luke later described this period himself, saying that while teaching, he used his spare time to read medical works.

And by the way, this is another gentleman who made something of himself after leaving Mormonism.

The objects were seen over a very wide area, not just Parkersburg, but all the way up to Johnstown, Pennsylvania, where a radio show answered more than 50 calls from various witnesses who were seeing these objects.

They were seen all over West Virginia in Kanawha, Morgan, Mason, Putnam, Cabell, and Roane Counties.

Some of the witnesses said these lights were hovering in place.

Others said they saw them zipping around at very high speed.

This is The Tom Roten Show.

On September 28th, 2026, I released a podcast featuring an interview with Cabell County Commissioner John Mant Jr., a Republican running for re-election to that position.

Today, you'll hear an interview with Tia Fix Rumbaugh, a member of Huntington City Council and a Democrat challenging Mant for that Cabell County Commissioner position.

That's coming up on today's Tom Roten Show.

Hi, everybody, I am the straight shooter, Tom Roten.

Okay.

Uh, we're talking with Tia Fix Rumbaugh, and, uh, she's a member of Huntington City Council, so we've been talking a little bit about that and the, the controversial issue of Flock cameras in Huntington.

Uh, she's a Democrat candidate for Cabell County Commission running against John Mant Jr., commissioner who's running for re-election.
