Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy on air form June 21st
Do not conform to please others, be your own joy your own way. We are inclined to celebrate ones mile stones in life in a way that empresses others, but that can stress you out and end up being fake. Be your own joy and have that celebration in a way the represents you and the joy you feel, think out of the box of tradition and conformity.
I have recently come from a 4 day wedding that was set on a lake and which was totally different to other weddings. It was fun, original and relaxing because the expectation of what that joy of celebration was not dictated to be, but was instead a joy of love that was meant to be.
We stress out trying to impress, serve and live up to an expectation that will never please everyone and will leave us disappointed. Instead, just have joyful fun, do what feels right for you, you set the stage and even ask others to help, and let the fun and celebration be what it is meant to be. We have forgotten to allow fun and joy and celebration of life happen, we try to mold it and manipulate it until it is not more a representation of our joy. So set the stage, invite the people, be the joy in that celebration and allow the fun to be, keep it light, fun and happy, and all will have a good time that will be truly remembered.

Our Global Veterans with Sara Troy and her guest Dreama Denver, on air from June 7th
Dreama Denver: is the wife of late classic TV icon Bob “Gilligan” Denver and the award-winning author of ‘Gilligan’s Dreams’ who has single-handedly carried on her husband’s legacy since his passing. The Denver Foundation is a non-profit foundation started by Bob and Dreama in honor of their severely autistic son, Colin. They understood firsthand in an up-close-and-personal way exactly what families face when presented with the challenge of caring for a family member with special needs. Today, the Denver Foundation assists special needs individuals in West Virginia. Under Dreama’s tutelage, its mission has expanded to include West Virginia’s Always Free Honor Flight, which recognizes the sacrifices of our veterans with free trips to Washington, DC, to see the memorials built to honor their service.
ALWAYS FREE HONOR FLIGHT
Calling All Veterans!

Our Honor Flight program is looking for you! WWII, Korea and Vietnam veterans receive priority, but we welcome applications from ALL West Virginia veterans for our annual trip to Washington, DC.

You’ll find veteran applications and guardian applications. Only veterans travel free, but we’ve kept the price for escorts low at 125 dollars, which includes all meals, AFHF t-shirts and, of course, transportation.
The Denver Foundation is a non-profit foundation inspired by Bob and Dreama Denver’s passion to assist and special needs individuals in the state of West Virginia.
Bob and Dreama established the foundation in honor of their severely autistic son, Colin. As Colin’s sole caregivers for the last 21 years of Bob’s life, the Denver’s understood firsthand in an up-close-and-personal way exactly what families face when presented with the challenge of caring for a family member with special needs. With that in mind, Bob and Dreama created Little Buddy Radio, a nonprofit radio station, owned and operated by the foundation with all profits generated by the station going to the Foundation and its mission.
“The Denver Foundation and Little Buddy Radio were Bob’s last and most important legacies,” Dreama says, “and carrying on in his place, making these two entities as successful as possible became my mission after Bob passed away. His desire to give back to West Virginia was huge. He loved this area, considered himself an adopted West Virginian and was a tireless ambassador for the state. Regardless of how important and far reaching his television legacy was, and is, his love for our son and his desire to help other families like ours trumped even that.”
After Bob’s death, the foundation’s mission expanded to include West Virginia’s Always Free Honor Flight, which recognizes the sacrifices of our veterans with free trips to Washington, DC to see the memorials built to honor their service.
“Bob would be proud,” Dreama says. “I honestly didn’t think I could live without him, but I came to understand that the best way to honor his memory is to live a full and happy life, carrying on the work he started with a heart as big as his.”

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest JoAnn Erwin, on air from June 7th
JoAnn Ewin was an exemplary nurse working at Little Sandy Correctional, but one day she said no to a date with the warden and her life was sent upside down. Today nearly 8 years later she is still fighting for her wrongful dismissal and the justification of being blacklisted and persecuted.
Former Prison Nurse tells all in her memoir. Sexual harassment, lies, and court cases that seem to never be brought to a closure. Elliott County, Kentucky, 2022 JoAnn Erwin has released her first book, a memoir about her time as a prison nurse, for preorder. Her ongoing court case, because of her wrongful termination, is continually delayed. While waiting for the judge to make a final ruling, JoAnn is ready to tell her story to the public. Preorder will be available till June 30, 2022, when the eBook will be available for purchase. A paperback edition is planned to be released after June 30, 2022, as well.
Will justice prevail or will she be caught in the big man’s cluTS20-20 Sexual harassment and wrongful dismissal accountability of sweeping it all under the rug? She shares her story with us and prays that justice will prevail in June at her next court hearing.
JoAnn set out to write her memoir to bring awareness to the corruption in the prison and court systems in the state of Kentucky. Her experiences are not exclusive to just her own story but have happened to others. What started as a hostile work environment where favoritism and sexual innuendos were prevalent turned into a wrongful termination when JoAnn refused to have a drink with the warden. After daring to stand up for the rights of inmates to receive doctor ordered medical care provisions and refusing the warden’s proposition for a date, JoAnn found herself declared a security risk. She was also blocked from holding any nursing position at any of Kentucky’s state prisons. Now, after several years of court, her case is still unresolved.
Sexual harassment, lies, cover-ups, mistreatment of staff and inmates. These wrongs have happened at one time or other in the thirteen Kentucky state prison facilities. Every attempt is made to keep things that happen behind these walls quiet. The public does not know what goes on in a state prison. I have experienced all the above and more during my employment at Little Sandy Correctional Complex. I am Jodie Erwin, and this is my experience as a prison nurse. This memoir includes firsthand experiences inside of a Kentucky state prison. A must read for those considering going into the field of prison nursing. This memoir gives insight into nursing inside of a prison and the challenges that arise from being a caregiver for prisoners. With the constant pressure to both give adequate medical care and to do what is in the prison’s inner circles’ best interests, this book exposes the brokenness of the system and those who are in charge. Even working inside a prison for a short time has emotional, mental, and physical consequences. With the added pressure of unchecked sexism and harassment, this memoir reveals the darker side of this type of work. Behind These Walls will be available for purchase in both eBook and paperback editions
JoAnn (Jodie) Erwin was born in Olive Hill, Kentucky. She is the oldest of six children. She worked as a factory worker in Morehead, Kentucky till she lost her job in 2002. Seeking a more stable career she returned to college to pursue a nursing degree. Jodie was forty-seven years old when she went to nursing school. In December 2005, Jodie graduated from the LPN program and went to work at a nursing home. It was 2012 when she took a position at a prison and her life was set on its current course. She would face some of the darkest and most difficult times of her life. Turning to writing Jodie has started a journey of healing by sharing her memories of being a prison LPN with her readers.
