WHO IS UNCLE BUCK?
Born: 6-7-55
Where: Waukegan, IL (outside Chicago)
Raised: San Diego, CA
Married to Janis for 32 years; we have a
daughter Melissa who is 28 and one son
Daniel, 20. Melissa teaches high school
at Sanger High. Daniel goes to City and
works for Apple Computers. We have one
awesome grandson, Patrick who is a year
and a half. Melissa and her husband Shawn
have been married for four years. Shawn
is a manager for Yosemite Water.
I have been in radio broadcasting as on-
air talent and in the programming department
for 34 years. We have lived all over the
country. I have worked in Fresno now
three times. Stops along the way include
San Diego, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Denver,
Kansas City, San Francisco, Phoenix, Monterey-
Salinas, Dallas, Reno, Baton Rouge, Allentown,
Wichita and a few in-between.
I started in country radio in 1997 and it has
become my favorite music. I have been
blessed to be involved in helping launch the
careers of Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban, Brad
Paisley and more. It was great watching these
artists and more grow from their first time in
the radio station playing acoustically to now selling
out arenas and stadiums.
Outside of BIG COUNTRY 1027, we love going to
the coast, taking the three Pomeranians, Montana,
Sabrina and Savannah to the dog park and playing
with our Amazon Crowned-Lilac parrot, Buddy and
his running mate, Jerry the Cockatiel. I am an avid
model railroader and have an operating N scale
model railroad layout. I am involved with several
railroad fan organizations. I love hanging out from 2p-7p everyday on 1027, getting emails and phone calls, surfing the BIG NET right along with you. Thanks for listening and surfing! REMEMBER TO HUG THOSE BABIES WHEN YOU GET HOME AND PET THOSE FUR BABIES.

Project HIGH POINT
Thursday 08-21-2008 10:28am PT
last night on ABC-TV (Channel 30) there was as 20/20 special on a program called PROJECT HIGH POINT. It is in 8 U.S. cities and will be expanded to 19 in the next year. The police, courts, and neighboorhood leaders all get together and go into drug laden neighboorhoods, approach the drug dealers to sign a document that they will attend a neighboorhood meeting and stop dealing drugs. If they do, they don't go to jail.
What a great program to look at in Fresno. The drug crimes dropped 75% in Hempstead, NY where they showed the process last night.
Way to go communities!
\ABC program looks at anti-drug program created in High Point
Wednesday, August 20 ( updated 6:58 pm)
HIGH POINT - ABC News "Primetime" will feature a report tonight about the success of a drug intervention program, which originated with the High Point Police Department and has since been used to curb the open air drug market and violence in Hempstead, N.Y.
The report profiles the Overt Drug Market Intervention Strategy, or High Point Initiative. The program was started with the High Point Police Department in 2004 and continues to produce results, High Point Lt. Steve Myers said.
Through the program, Myers said, the High Point police target different areas of the city by identifying drug dealers and violent offenders.
"There are some really bad guys that we take off the street right away," Myers said. "We tell the others they can end up like this guy (in jail) or straighten up."
Myers said the Overt Drug Market Intervention Strategy is a promise to vigorously prosecute repeat, violent and/or group offenders who continue to engage in violent activity.
It also is an offer by the community to assist those who want to change their lifestyles by delivering the tools to do so.
Officers work with the Guilford County District Attorney's Office, federal officials and concerned citizens.
"The old-fashioned method of going out on the street and arresting as many people as you can - that only works if you have a large number of jails," Myers said. "It never stops the drug activity and violence."
The Overt Drug Market Intervention Strategy has been used to reduce drug activity and violence in High Point's West End and South Side neighborhoods and is underway
in the East Green Drive area.
Since May 2004, the West End area has seen a 54 percent reduction overall in violent crime and a 25 percent reduction in drug-related crime as a result of the program, said Maj. Marty Sumner.
In addition to Hempstead, ABC reported that eight other cities have implemented the program and 10 others have received federal grants to do so.
