00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:04,880
[Music]

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:07,120
yeah i just think that um you know the

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,800
the small communities uh you know it's

4
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:11,679
just like small business they're the

5
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:13,440
backbone of this country and uh just the

6
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:16,080
work ethic and things that have come out

7
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,440
of that raising the people that are here

8
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:19,600
it's a quality that you're not going to

9
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:22,400
find in a lot of other places you know

10
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:24,640
it's unique to kentucky unique to

11
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:27,039
this area and i think that we have one

12
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,720
of the hardest working groups of

13
00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:30,960
individuals you know in the united

14
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,480
states and i think when people will come

15
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,680
here and they've actually like hired

16
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:36,000
that's one of the things the comments

17
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,600
would get back is that the work ethic is

18
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,920
completely different than other places

19
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,920
that they've been

20
00:00:44,559 --> 00:00:49,039
matter of fact i doubt anywhere east of

21
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:51,600
the mississippi you'll find a community

22
00:00:49,039 --> 00:00:52,719
like ours the size of ours that has such

23
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,760
a high

24
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:56,160
