Lisa shares the deeply moving history of how her family rebounded after losing their original restaurant in the devastating flood of 1985, and how she has personally guided The ICE Plant through fires, renovations, and even the literal definition of a "drive-thru" when a couple of cars accidentally crashed into the building over the years!

Mike joins us to separate social media misconceptions from the documented facts, emphasizing that even in a changing world, "the facts still matter."

• Community Concerns: We have an honest conversation about noise and light pollution, property values, and the legitimate concerns of neighbors in an area with no township zoning.

• Economic Opportunity: The potential for 100 to 200 long-term, family-sustaining jobs right here in Greene County.

Jim and Vicky have been best friends since they were teenagers, and that lifelong bond shines through as they share the rich history of their business. From the days when auctions were the social highlights of the county to the modern era of online bidding, the Behm family has seen it all.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

• Family Roots: How the business evolved from livestock brokerage to a premier auction and real estate service.
• The Auctioneer’s Craft: Jim shares the physical demands of the job (including auctions so cold the water bottles froze!) and even treats us to a live auctioneer impersonation and a tongue-twister warm-up.
• Hidden Treasures: The incredible stories behind selling a piece of the Hindenburg and one of West Virginia's very first license plates.
• The "No Bid" Policy: Vicky tells us about the surprises that turn up during spring consignment sales and why they eventually had to set some ground rules!
• Pivoting with the Times: How the team navigated the COVID-19 pandemic by taking their expertise into the digital world.

Jim reminds us that while some days you feel like "the only one winning is the wall," there is no other industry he’d rather be in.

Inspired by Mike’s latest "Towne Square" article in the GreeneScene Magazine, we’re pulling back the curtain on how new businesses (like the recent car wash and the proposed data center) actually make their way into our community. We dive deep into the misconceptions often found online and discuss the "guardrails" that guide our Planning Commission. 

In this episode, we explore:

• The Reality of Growth: Why commissioners don’t "pick and choose" the businesses that come to town.
• The Zoning Conversation: A look back at the 2021 zoning rejection and what it means for property owners today.
• Behind the Scenes: Demystifying NDAs (Non-Disclosure Agreements) and how Tax Abatements really work to build a stronger taxable future for our county.
• Being Good Neighbors: The importance of communication between new industries and the community.

Whether you’re a lifelong resident or a local business owner, this conversation about the balance between private property rights and the collective needs of Greene County is one you don't want to miss.

Guy shares how the NWTF got its start in Greene County back in the 1990s, a time when turkey populations were low, and how dedicated conservation efforts helped bring them back. From planting food plots to creating and maintaining proper habitats, the organization’s mission goes far beyond hunting. It’s about stewardship.

You’ll hear about the annual “Jakes Event,” held before Pennsylvania’s main turkey season, where young hunters learn ethical practices, how to build turkey calls, and how to respect wildlife and their habitats. (Fun fact: young male turkeys are called “Jakes,” and young females are “Jennys!”)

The conversation also touches on the powerful friendships formed through NWTF programs, the importance of conservation education, and Shelly’s personal admiration for turkeys...especially the way they walk! This episode highlights how the NWTF is making a lasting impact right here in Greene County.
