E92: WV Maintenance: More than just plumbing ...

Host: Carol MacAllister Guests: Tim Ryan & David Clingan Description: Tim Ryan (Lakes) and David Clingan (Manor) are the Managers of Maintenance on our two Willow Valley campuses. They share with host Carol MacAllister the breadth and depth of the work their departments do. Residents can SEE that they fix what is broken and replace what can’t be fixed in their homes, but in fact, they do so much more. Everything that has to do with the Brick and Mortar of WV, inside and out, is their domain. For every activity, function, or special event that needs a setup (and take down), (think Cultural Center and Chautauqua Hall), the maintenance department is there. Holidays like Christmas double their workloads, though the staff does not increase. Winter snows create round-the-clock efforts. This is a well-oiled operation, often invisible to the residents.
